try just as the dissolute women of
Rome ruined that empire.
"The wife no longer contributes to
the family income by creating values.
With the increased standard of elabo-

burden.
Modern industry has converted
men into earners and women into
spenders."
When reporter called on him to-
day he was found in a cozy little
house, with pretty wife in crisp
white dress.
"rhe woman of today" said Pro-
fessor Nearing, "is in the third stage.
First, she was the slave, creature
that might be beaten by her lord and
master. Second came state of CO.

The whole idea of the women of the

"And whose is the fault?" was ask

Nobody is to blame," answered
Professor Nearing. "The women of
today are not to blame for what they
are, any more than are the men.
But the time has come when two
roads open before the woman of the
future. Either she must continue to
be a parasite and go down to ruin,
dragging nations with her, or she
must become producer, with an econ

RACE HATRED is BLAMED
FOR WASHINGTON ATTACK

NEW YORK, Mar. 28.--At mass
meeting Of more than 500 negroes in
the Bethel A. M. E. church today, res
olutions were adopted expressing con-
fidence in and affection for DIR. Book
er T. Washington, the negro educator
who recently was injured during an
encounter with Albert Ulrich, a white
man in this city.
President Taft was warmly praised
for writing his letter of sympathy to
DR.. Washington. The Rev. r. C. Ran.
som, pastor of the church, in opening
the meeting, said:
"f DIR. Washington had been a
white man this meeting would not be
necessary; not because we care less
for a worthy man of the white race
but when an accusation, however un.
just, or a suspicion, however un.
founded, is lodged against negro
public sentiment may be more quickly
inflame and, il white woman should
give her word, it would stand agains,
the whole world, as far as q negro'i
word is concerned.
1--WE are not here TO assail the dis
credited accusers Of DIR. Washington
but to youch for our confidence il
him."
The Rev. A. c. Powell said:
when 1 first saw the account o.
the assault on DR.. Washington, fell
like getting q mob and stringing tn
man responsible for II by the thumbs
but minute later l changed my min.
and know that nothing since IN
emancipation would SO tend to hell
the negro race or bring It closer to

LIEUTENANT CANNOT ACT
IN CAPACITY OF GOVERNOR

TOPEKA, Kas., Mar. 23 The ac.
tion of Gov. Stubbs in permitting the
bill to die authorizing the lieutenant
governor to act during the governor
absence from the state, or during sicl;-
ness, is causing widespread comment
Under the state constitution the lieu
tenant governor cannot assume the
duties Of governor except in case OF
death.
The Legislature is authorized, how
ever, to confer this power upon the
lieutenant governor. Those near the
governor say that while he had f,ll
confidence in Lieut.. Gov. Hopkins, who
is his close personal friend, he fears
that some time in the future an in
cident might happen like that in 1898
when Populist lieutenant governo,
tried to assemble the legislature in

ALBANY, Mar. 29--Fire swept,
smoke strewn and water drenched,
New York's magnificent twenty-seyen
million dollar capitol stands today a
partial wreck left by flames that
started in the assembly library and
burned away the entire west wing and
did damage estimated at ten millions
before the flames could be checked,
after raging more than four hours. 1t
is believed the fire started by fused
electric push button becoming electri-
fed.
The fire was discovered by an at
tache of the library and an alarm was
sounded at o'clock. The fire was
believed to be under control at a.
m but about 10 o'clock the blaze
started afresh in the northwest an
gle and the firemen were fighting des-
perately to subdue the flames at
noon. Before the fremen reached the
massive structure, after the first
alarm was sounded, the priceless docu-
ments, books and records, stored in
the assembly library were all destroy
ed and other departments were threat
ened. The imitation oak ceiling of the
assembly chamber, composed of papier
mache, was partially destroyed as was
also the famous million-dolla stair
case in the west wing. On the third
floor, where the flames got their
start, among the departments wholly
or partially destroyed by fire or Sc
riously damaged by water, was the
state library, containing about six
hundred thousand volumes, among
them the most valuable genealogical
works in the United States, together
with relics. and valuable documents,
some of them dating back to 1776,
and all irreplacable. The assembly
libraries, stored with thousands of
volumes of law and code books also
documents and manuscripts that can
aeyer be replaced were destroyed.
The finance committee room in which
was stored drafts of all the appro-
priations and other bills of the pres
ent session is ruined. The senate and
assembly chambers were both flushed
with water which ruined their rich
furnishings and the former beautiful
ceiling of the latter, is hanging in
wasted struggling shreds of dissolv-
ing paper. Nearly all the offices were
wrecked and practically all the Offices
below the second floor, including the
executive chamber, were damaged by
smoke and water.
While the fire was at its height,
four men were reported missing. All
of them, and Samuel Abbott, the night
watchmen, had been incinerated when
the state library was flame swept.
After the fire was under control, Fred
Wriler, rs years old, the watchman
in the state library, was missing.
Thomas Bean, a capitol attache, and
man employed in the document room
also were missing.
The Democratic caucus last night
did not adjourn until nearly o'clock
this morning and few stragglers
were still in the building when the
fire broke out. An attache of the as
sembly library, returning for some
overlooked papers, discovered tiny
blaze near his desk. There had been
a complaint filed during the day that
an. electric switch was out of order
and this is supposed to have started
the fire. Running out into the corri-
dor the clerk summoned the night
watchman and with the assistance of
two newspaper men, efforts were
made to put out the fire which prob
ably would have been done had fire
extinguishers or bucket of water
