CoIored Women Voted Y Times
 Apiece At Polls

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 1.-The Councilmanic committee investigating the widespread political fraud and graft here are now very anxious to locate three colored women, sisters of the names of Mary, Nellie, and Nettie Fletcher
 A remarkable story is told of these women, who ran a place in Missouri avenue. A colored gambler dared them to dress up as men and vote in various election districts with the oth- CT colored repeaters. So they went around from polling place to polling place on election day, each of them voting seventeen times. The gambler paid them $2.50 for each vote, an in- crease of 30 cents over the regular price to men who voted in the same way. Each of the three sisters made $4250. This is not a record breaker as to the number of votes cast, since it was testified before the Macksey committee that a colored man suc- cinct in the city. He voted twenty six times.
 Each of the girls put on a mans suit and tucked her hair under a mans cap. The makeup was fairly good. At the polling places they sim ply did what the men did, walking into the alley, getting the ticket to VOI0, SOlIlS lAIO slu0 DOOlI1s CdSlluS lil0 ballot, coming out afterwards for the blue check, and then cashing the check at the clearing house, No one challenged the women-they were not taken to polling places where there was danger of that.
 Reformers heard of the exploit of the women and sent detectives to in- terview them. The detectives finally got the whole story from the women themselves, who seemed very proud of it. But in leaving the place one of the agents was recognized. When the constable went back with the war rants next day the getaway had been made. In the day the women had sold out to another woman, had packed up all their effects and got out of town. Since then efforts have been made to get the women, and now it has been proved definitely that when they fled they went South, where it would not be easy to extra dite them.

SEVEN PRIESTS WRECKED.
Lifesavers Rescue Them as Boat Is
 About to Sink.

Rockport, Mass, Aug. 11-Seven Re- demptortst Fathers from the Mission Church, Boston, were rescued yester- day by the lifesavers from the Gar Cove station after the power boat Df- ana, in which they were on their way to Bar Harbor, ran on to the southerly end of the Sandy Bay Breakwater.
 The boat was almost on the point o1 sinking when the lifesavers took them off. Laughingly they remarked that they had been shipwrecked without having wet their feet.
 The priests in the party were Rev Thomas V. Twohey, Rev. James Clark, Rev. Frank Passnaicht, Rev. William Prager, Rev. Michael Cannon, Rev. Simon Grogan and Rev Henry Borg man. After being cared for at the lifesaving station and thanking the crew for their rescue they went to Pigeon Cove. It is understood they are going back to Boston to resume their journey to Bar Harbor.

|Westport Man Would Enjoin
 His Own Father Well-Builder Sipperly Seeks to Prevent Parental Inter-
 ference

Hartford, Aug. 11-Judge Robert E.. DeForest of Bridgeport asked Judge Marcus H. Holcomb at the county building yesterday to issue a tempor- ary injunction against Ebert N. Sip perly of Westport. MT. Sipperly is the father of Ebert N. Sipperly, 2d, and they both are engaged in the business of driving wells. It is apparent that there is not the best of feeling be- tween the father and son, because the son alleges that the father was in- terfering with his business. He says that the father takes possession of his mail matter and tells others that he is not financially responsible. He says that the father interfered with his business in other. ways. He asked for the injunction to restrain the father from doing the things com plained of in the petition. Judge Hol- comb did not grant the injunction but took the matter under consideration.

BRITISH MILLIONAIRE
 STARTS A CAMPAIGN e
 TO NATIONALIZE LAND

London, August 11-Baron Mau- rice de Forest, multimillionaire and new member of the House of Com mons fr0 North Hamm, intends to make a campaign for the nationaliza- tion of all lands his chief work in parliament
 The land question:" he says, "at the root of every measure of social re- form. People have said that I am rich and even suggested that, if were the radical I profess to be, I would give all my money away. But what would be the use? Nobody would benefit by it except the landlords. They collar everything.
 "If it were possible to give every workingman a salary of fifty shil- lings, SIP weekly, the landlords would benefit most, because we should be more dependant on our own crops for support and the landlords would be able to get increased rent.
 'I am strong believer in the na- tionalization of the land and shall use every means in my power in parlia- ment to bring it about. After that, everything else will be easy. At present the land is being valued and when the figures are published I shall that the State buy out the landlords. The sooner such a scheme is adopted the better The country s land values are continually rising and every year increases the price that the government will have to pay.
 Increases in land values are brought about by the community, not by the landlords. It is the labor of the people, which is making land more valuable. There is no fresh invention, no new commercial scheme and I might say no scheme of social reform which does not send up the price of the land. If the State owned the land, it would be able to return to the community value which the community had earned. This could be done on the lines with which recent legislation has made us famil- far, old age pensions, workingmen's insurance and labor exchanges, for in stances, and by the granting of free postage, free railroads and so on.
 'The working class of this country works too much. The bulk of it's time, it is working for the benefit of some landlord. Under the land national zation I believe that the working class would work but few hours daily.''
