AMAZING DUCHESS
BEGINS HER TERN
|NL0ND0N PRISON
Sentenced to Serve Four
Months for Obtaining Money
by False Pretenses.

LONDON, Nov. 10.-The Amazing
Duchess" began the four months term
In jail today that the London sessions
sentenced her to late yesterday for OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses.
The Amazing Duchess" as she only
began to be called following her arrest
several weeks ago on q charge Of de.
frauding hundreds of persons out Of
money to an amount running into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars, fig
ured prominently In English society for
long time as the Duchess Adelaide de
Villano. She is handsome woman of
about forty, and during the heyday of
her career was celebrated for the
glacial quality of her hateur and the
mercilessness OF her snubs.
AS was brought out at her trial, the
duchess has been a swindler for years.
and was sentenced in France in June,
1903, to nineteen months imprisonment.
Her career began with her elopement
with rich young lieutenant from her
husband, an army officers in India, on
whose income II was impossible for her
to live in the style she demanded. Her
husband divorced her. Later she became
the wife Of young man posing under
the bogus title of Due de Villano.
Husband No. 3 had no income, so the
riage brokers and advertised, as a wo-
man Of title, for European and Ameri-
can young women ambitious to be intro
duced into English society. The police
say she actually did marry few young
women to impecunious noblemen.

CHANDLER IS SILENT
As TOFL|ERS' CAMP
DURING THE WINTER
Captain Returns From Trip
of Inspection in South
ern States.

Capt. Charles DeForest Chandler.
commanding officer of the army avia-
ton school, returned to Washington
this morning after trip in the South,
where he went to visit a number Of
towns and cities in order to select a
good location for the winter camp Of
the army fiiers.
Immediately upon his arrival Captain
Chandler went to the Signal Corps Of
fee, where he consulted with General
Allen. The consultation will be con-
tinued through the afternoon and II Is
probable that General Allen will an
nounce some time tomorrow or Mon
day where the fiers will go.
While away Captain Chandler went
to five places. He left here last. Sunday
and went to Camden, 8. c., spending
Monday morning there. In the after
noon he went to Columbia, 8. c., where
he looked over a number OF fields.
Monday night he went to Greenville,
8. &C. Then he went to Augusta, where
he spent Wednesday, and then over to
Aiken, 8. c., where he was yesterday.
Captain Chandler refused to say what
town he would recommend. However.
reached until papers from the different
boards of trade In these places were
forwarded here, showing what sites the
fiers could have.
AS soon as the announcement is
made by General Allen, active prepara-
tions will be started for the trip South,
and 1t is likely that before the end of
the present month the aviators will be
on their way to warmer climate.

FAVORS
QUICK ACTION ON
RATES FOR CANAL
Believes Question Of Tolls
Should Be Settled
Immediately.
By JOHN sNURE.

That the question of legislation rela-
tive to canal tolls and regulations and
the government of the canal zone will
come before Congress at the very out
set Of the session, and that 1t will be
one of the most important matters Of
the winter Is q legislative way, was
the view expressed by Senator Bristow
Of Kansas. Senator Bristow is a MEM
Der Of the Committee on Interoceanic
Canals and has just returned from a
visit to the canal zone.
Senator Bristow summed up his i'm
preston Of the canal and the work be-
Ing done on 1t in one word. Great"
He commends In the highest terms the
efforts Of those in charge Of the con-
struction. He expects to see It opened
In 1918.
"The matter Of tolls and regulations
should be settled this session." SAID
he. Those who are looking forward
to the use Of the canal want to know
what they can expect. The fixing Of
the tolls Is the chief problem. 1t Is
the most important question relative to
the canal to be worked out, And the
tolls should be fixed by legislation. II
they are left to regulation, the Ex-
ecutive can change them In twenty-four

manent basis, and 1t must be done by
Congress-"
1t Is expected that the canal will
cost 100000 or more year to main
tain. This sum ought to be made up by
tolls II feasible. Mr. Bristow thinks.
THE problem Is to put the tolls at
the point where they will bring in the
most revenue" he said. ''Ships. for In
stance, between the cast coast Of the
United States and the west coast Of
South America will naturally use the
CO nal. But II the tolls are fixed too
high, vessels starting from or going to
points far down on the Pacific coast OF
South America will go around the Horn
in preference to using the canal. On
the rate OF tolls win depend, too. wheth-
er vessels from Japan. bound for
Europe use the canal or 10 by way OF
Suez. Many points have to be con-
sidered, therefore, in fixing the tolls
Besides. there is the question of what

this country and what tolls will retard

To Resort to New Plan

A new plan for getting better re-

enthusiastic meeting Of the conven-

ISSUE CHALLENGE TO
THE TAFT FORCES
Chairman Houser Takes I'm
portant Step After Confer

A challenge to the Taft forces and to
Republican party organizations through
out the country was formally issued
by the La Toilette campaign committee
today.
Chairman Walter Houser, from head
quarters at the Evans building, took
the important step, after conferences
with the leaders in the movement. 1t
is regarded as likely to determine In
large part who shall be the Republican
nominee, and whether the Republicans
will enter the campaign with the >cer-
tatnty Of having nominated the strong
est candidate.
Mr.. Houser addressed an identical
letter to the chairmen of all Republican
State committees asking them to take
steps to hold, in their States, Repub-
lican Presidential preference primaries;
that Is, to let the party in primary
select all delegates, and instruct them
Ies to Presidential choices.

governors Of States, presidents of State
with suggestion that primary laws may

: Five States already have statutory
provision for such primaries.
TT is obvious" says Chairman
Houser in his letter, that no nominee
selected despite the wishes Of the rank
Pnd file Of the Republican party, can
inspire the confidence or commend the
united and enthusiastic support neces-
isary to Republican success in 1912. Apart
from the intrinsic merit Of the plaI

DelensP OF Mother Eve.
LINCOLN. Neb., Dec. 6.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: or the many crimes com
mitted by superstition against humanity.
it's teaching that woman brought sin into
this little world is the greatest OF them
all. Like a gigantic juggernaut this
atrocious libel upon the mothers OF the
race has been rolling down the ages
leaving in its trail tears, sorrow. crushed
hearts and blasted hopes. There super
stition reached the supreme height Of its
tremendous power for evil. The wther-
ing effects OF It's inqwsition upon the
hearts and hopes OF mankind sink into
insignificance as compared with the in
calculable wrong resulting to woman, and
through her to her children, from the as
sertion that her disobedience brought sin
into the world. Thus was poison thrown
into the very fountain of life.
Scientific psychology makes this plain.
II shows that the declaration, hitherto
received by many as from divine author
ity that sin entered the world through
woman's fault, has degraded woman 10y
lessening her self-respect, paralyzing her
Will, dwarfing her intellect and causing
her to feel a sense of guilt i'm the very
fact OF her existence. For thousands OF
years this teaching has blocked her prog
ress toward economic and political equal
ity with man, and is today responsible
for no small part of the opposition to
equal suffrage. For ages woman has
been told, in substance, that she is
lower order of being an after-thought Of
the Maker of the worlds, and that she u.s.
In effect, the creator Of sin. since only
through her disobedience was It possible
for sin to enter the world. making neces-
sary the sacrifice of a part of the God
head in order to propltlate Him and APP
pease His wrath.
Scientific psychology shows that this
libel and it's correlative ideas have had an
effect UNNECESSARILY harmful upon the
sensitive, impressionable minds of the
mothers OF the race, and through them
upon their children, resulting in evils
hitherto unsupported by the world. It
shows that a really free humanity can
never be born until every vestige Of this
false belief has been erased from the
minds Of both men and women. Matilda
Joslyn Gage, in her great work, Woman,
Church and State" has shown i'm detail
the sufferngs OF women under this su-
perstition in ages past. Every person
who believes in economic and political
equality for women should read Mrs.
