Ex-president Denies the Gov
ernor's Charge that the
Minimum Wage Plan Is
Not Practical.
ROOSEVELT NOW IN
WASHINGTON STATE
At Spokane Colonel Makes
an Address Before Wom-
en-, Telling Why He Is
for Suffrage.
(Nationa1 News Assoc1ation)

(Nationa1 News Assoc1aeion)
SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 9.-sharp
reply to Gov. Wilson for his recent
criticism Of the Progressive platforms
advocacy of a federal law for a mini
mum wage scale for women was made
today by Roosevelt in speech here.
The Colonel stoutly defended his argu-
lment that the government could legal
1y take the corporations under control
in regulating the hours of employment
and fixing the lowest wage.
The Colonel declared Gov. Wilson's
fnsistency that such a revolutionary
scheme could not be put into effect
iis folly" He pointed out that the gov
ernment had brought the corporations
to bay through the Interstate COM
merce law, existing in exercising su-
"a distinct advantage to the public.
"It is nonsense to say that the hours
of employment of women and lowest
wages they are to get cannot be regu-
lated in the same way" declared the
colonel.
Cites An Example.
The reply to Wilson was made at a
mass meeting during the morning.
Roosevelt made the point that if Will
sons argr mt is to hold, then it must
be conceded that the Interstate COM
merce commission has been failure.
"T don't believe anybody doubts the
real value of that commission, he add
ed. Through the commission the gov
stantial reforms. 1t can, by exercising
that same power, bring about better
working conditions for women"
The colonel went on to point out the
dangers confronting underpaid work
dng women.
"If we don't grapple with this prob
lem, he said, we will be responsible for
keeping in effect a system that, for the
moral side is extremely hazardous to
the working girl. Danger turks for the
underpaid working women. We owe it
ms a social obligation to make her po-
Eition in life better for her"
Later the colonel appeared before
an audience of women Ind explained
the reasons why he is out squarely for
woman's suffrage.
a'Not because wealthy women had
interested themselves in it, but be-
cause found that the earnest, hard
working women were gravely interest
ed in woman's suffrage did take it
up" said the colonel.
II was surprised as came to study
1t, to and that strong sentiment ex-
listed all over the country for the
move.
Il am for womans suffrage heart
hnd SOUL"
Roosevelt was heartily acclaimed at
both meetings, in keeping with the
warm welcome extended upon his arri.
val last night. The Progressives Of
Spokane turned out in immense mum.
bers to see him as he left his hotel at
10 o'clock this forenoon for an auto
parade. He was escorted by 500 Bull
Moosers, all wearing the bandana.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 9.-President
Madero declared today that he would
look with intense dissatisfaction upon
any move of the United States toward
furnishing troops for police duty south
of the R 10 Grande river. Madero de-
clared that the Mexican government
has men and money enough to put
down the revolution and that protec-
tion for Americans has been furnished
as rapidly as it could have been fur
pished by any other country facing
similar circumstances.
when the situation was really ac-
ute we heard nothing Of Intervention,
said President Madero." Now that the
situation has been greatly relieved and
the protection asked for granted we
hear talk of Intervention. Why inter
vention should take place at this time
cannot understand"

Articles are going the rounds of the press charging that Brigadier General Per shing. who married the daughter of Senator Warren of Wyoming, before his marriage and while he was sta toned in the Philippine Islands took beautiful young Filipino maiden to live with him as his mistress and that she bore him two children.
 Practically the same story was printed quite freely about General Pershing in 1906. when hs was ap- pointed brigadier-general, and it was brought to President Roosevelt's at tention by General Pershing's ene- mics.
 President Roosevelt caused an in vestigation to be made, and upon affidayits from the woman herself, with number form others who lived at Zamboango during all the

Arctic ex- plorcr Steffansson and his compan- ion pr. k N. Anderson of Forest City, Iowa. were sent north by the American Museum of Natural His tory, New York, in 1908. They went to the Arctic by way of Winnipeg and Edmonton, down the Mackenzie river to it's mouth The most wonder ful part of their exploration is the possible discovery of the descend ants of the Scandinavian colonists of Greenland, who were last heard of in 1412, and who had disappeared when trade was resumed with Green. land in the seventeenth century These people are described as being taller than Greenland Eskimos. but not so tall as those of Alaska. They live in the typical Eskimo way and talk their language but at times the explorers believed that they could detect some Morse words There are nearly 2000 people in the thirteen tribes or these people, who have liv- ed apart from the rest Of the world for centuries.

"A! TAr SAYS SULTAN $50 PRETTY WIVES
 ARE GRASS WIDOWS

New i0rk.-1he city of teZ in the land of Morocco has Reno in the wilds of Nevada backed off the map when it comes to divorces.
 In one day in Fez they eclipsed the record of Reno for a month. No less than 300 divorces took place there i'll ene day and all the diyor- cees had the same ,.Gshand.
 The occasion was the depos,ns of Sultan Muli Hafid and the ascent to the MosrjSh throne of Muli Yusef. The transfer of he sultan in Morog co on short notice is like swapping horses in midstream. The trouble which arose at Fez was told this morning by F'ichapan Ben Ali, a gentleman of Turkish perstasion who arrived on the Carpathia. He was present ,n Fez when the swap ping of the sultans teok place.
 Hafid had the reputation or having the most gorgeously appointed harem in the East. There were not less than 3S0 members Of his harem club and when by generous impulse he handed the fair things over to his successor. Muh Yusef, the latter ir choicest of high Moorish. told him to go jump into the river and take his harem with him,
 All right, old sport" returned Null Hafid in the same language and with most ma@nificent salaam, If you don't know good thing or bunch of good things you see 1t, It serves you right
 So Yusef had the ladies of the harem all brought up in parade. With tomtoms and cymbals they were herded to the river.
 When the departing sultan had all the girlies in their boats he raised his hand and a steam launch from a French warship came choochooing right up to the pier.
 Muli Hafid then turned to his joy ous. loving. babling. singing 3S0 wives and rained kisses to them with his hands-both hands. Then he told the officer in charge of the launch to put the spurs to his engine and to beat it" for all he was worth. The band played "Goodby. Girlies and Remember Me" and the girlies of the harem all cried.
 The departing Muii had created ?S0 grass widows in one awful swoop.
