WOMEN TO WIRING
SUFFRAGE VIEWS
FROM GOVERNORS
Delegation Will Attend Meeting
at Spring Lake Next
Tuesday.

At the governors meeting" which
convenes at Spring Lake next Tuesday
governors from most of the States in
the Union will be asked to espouse the
cause of equal suffrage.
In behalf of the New Jersey suffra-
gists, Mrs. Abram Van Wrinkle, of 30
Lincoln park, and Mrs. Archibald Alex
ander, Of Bernardsville, will appear
and urge the cause e votes for wonien.
Their endeayor will be to force the
issue of equal suffrage before the gov
ernors and obtain, or wiring from them,
their individual attitude on the cause
of feminine emancipation.
1--WE are going to present the gov
ernors with a copy of book that is
being published, showing the contra
dictory status of women in this coun-
try" said Mrs. Abraham Van Wrinkle
to an Evening STAR reporter today.
'We want to make the governors state
their attitude on woman suffrage, and
we want to persuade them how vital,
how momentous the issue is. We want
to influence the governors as whole.
1.-THE ballot is woman's only weapon,
she continued, 1.-The men, having a
vote now under our present laws, must
be made to see that and to realize what
will follow woman's emancipation.
There is in New Jersey a Mems
League for Equal Suffrage. 1t will, no
doubt, be represented at Spring, Lake.
Many of our leading men here believe
heartily in woman suffrage. But they
are in office to voice the ideas of their
party. Their party forbids them to
speak in favor of equal suffrage. They
cannot do so. Mr.. Everett Colby, for
instance, who with his brother Mr..
Howard Colby, is a staunch believer in
woman suffrage, has spoken in favor of
it in New York where he cannot do it
here.
Justice, simple justice, demands that
woman have a vote. My chauffeur has
one. A servant here, only five years
in the country, has one. l pay taxes
and own property; was BORN here and
have lived here all my life. But 1
have no vote.
"Yet / want q vote as a matter of
self-respect. And l have the audacity
to think that 1 could vote as well as
many men.
1.-The trade union girls of Newark
went down to Trenton and asked for
ten-hour day. That was to prevent
night work But the big concerns that
employ women overtime at night OBJ
jected. The Legislature is moneyed
institution. and the girls-they did not
get their act passed
"The same with child labor We be-
lieVe that Ii ought to be absolutely
prohibited. 1t will be when we have
the right of voting
Under present conditions many men
and women and whole families are
getting merely a living wage or less.
The average in Newark, / think, ac-
cording to the government statistics,
is $9.75. Rents have increased alb
normally. Conditions are wrong and
we women wish to have chance-Just
an opportunity-to correct them"

GIRL PLEADS FOR RELEASE
OF MAN WHO SLASHED HER,
THEN SHE MARRIES HIM.
Wedding Takes Place in City
Hall in Presence OF PO-
lice Officers.

Judge, please let him go. l want
to marry him and he wants to marry
me-" pleaded Maria Fernicole, II years
old, of 113 jefferson street before
Judge Hahn N the Third Precinct
Police Court today, when Presco P.i-
coroa was arraigned on a charge of
having slashed her with a razor sew
eral months ago At that time the
girl refused him. 1t was then he
slashed her. He disappeared. Since
then the police have been looking for
him. He was arrested last night.
"Slashing a girl with a razor is too
serious charge to let go unpunished,
even if you have forgiven him and
want to marry him." said Judge Hahn.
He held the man in $1,50O bail for the
grand jury.
He was taken to the Office of the
prosec tor, where he was followed by
the young woman. There she pleaded
they be allowed to get married. To-
gether with Plainclothesman Brex they
went to the office of the city clerk and
were married by Justice of the Peace
Amzi Berla in the City Hall. Charles
Helmstetter, who is in the public works
department, said he would go bail for
the bridegroom.

INCREASED COST
Of THREAD CAUSE
OF GIRLS STRIKE
100 Employees of Newark En-
brOidery Company Plant
Quit Work.

1--WE cannot afford to stand for a cut
of $120 a week in our earnings to pay
for tho boss's thread" Indignantly de-
clared Miss Sarah Retg, one of the
100 girls who are today on strike at
the Newark Embroidery Workr, IS
Shipman street IF we were ~ pay
that much,' continued the girl, ut
would mean that some of us would lose
25 per cent. of what we make"
The girls are employed in the nem-
stitching department eA{ TIC factory,
and have refused to enter the building
since Herman Bornemann, head of the
firm, placed a notice on the bulletin
board Saturday announcing that the
workers should have to pay .671s for
each spool of thread instead of 80
When the girls protested Mr.. Borne
mann attempted to compromise by
making the price of spool go, but
the strikers will not hear of 1T.
For more than year we have been
losing on this thread business" said
Mr. Bornemann today. "All that time
we have been paying S1.671s a spool to
the wholesalers. Believing they would
come down in their prices, we did not
raise the price on these piece-work
girls, but now 1t is apparent that the
thread trust intends to maintain their
high price, and we have to get our
money back some way
The strikers appeared at the factory
at the usual hour this morning, but
did not go in. When the forewoman
of their department, Miss Antoinette
Viccarella, appeared and announced
her intention to go to work, the strik-
ers tried to persuade her not to. jose
phine Regal, of 4S Jefferson street, and
Katie Gereg, of 26 Munroe street. strik
ers were standing in front Of the fore
woman when the latter tried to push
them aside and enter the factory. At
this point the only show of violence
during the trouble started when Henry
Wassman, a cutter employed in the
embroidery works, ran to Miss Vic
carellas assistance.
According to Miss Gereg, Wassman
seized the umbrella she was carrying
and struck her with it, and during the
melee which followed Miss Royals
waist was torn. The forewoman es-
capped into the factory.
Two patrolmen, Mcdonnell and
Sickles, of the First precinct, were on
the scene today to prevent any dis
turbance.

PREPARE FOR ARGUMENT.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE.
Va sept, sos-NT expect. to be homo
IisiIsl0ags ! feel that my story has fGn-.
pressed the jury and believe they will
give me square deal"
This was the confident remark of
Henry Clay Beattie, jr., indicted for.
the murder of his wife, as he sat in
his cell here today, gazing in retro
spect at the eleven days of evidence
taking, which was brought to a close
last night.
The prosecutions main broadside will
be delivered along the same lines as
characterized it's rigid cross s-examina-
ton of the prisoner and will centre
about the one question: How did the
same gun which Paul Beattie bought
for his cousin Henry on Saturday, July
Is, come to be in the hands of the all
legged highwayman on Midlothian turns
pike on the night of Tuesday. July 1872"
Admits Purchase of Gun.
The defense has admitted by its witt
nesses that Paul purchased the very
gun which later was identified by
Henry as the one that killed his wife.
but his only reason for the admission
was that there was "blood on it, and
it was found not far from the scene OF
the crime. He has denied however,
that he saw or knew of the gun before
the highwayman leveled it at him on
Midlothian turnpike, because Beattie's
car almost collided with him.
The defense has attempted to punc-
ture the story of Paul Beattie, the
cousin of the accused, who not only
told of the purchase of the weapon, but
of the alleged confession of the pris-
oner to him of having committed the
crime. The defense by numerous wit
nesses endeavored to impeach the
veracity of Paul as to his having
transferred the gun to Henry on Sat-
urday night, July is, and by one witt
ness, E. II. Neblitt, charged that Paul
had a shotgun with him on Sunday
July 16, at the bridge where he was
employed as a watchman. The COM
monwealth introduced several wit
nesses to combat the testimony oc
Nebltt.
