New York Sheriff Plans to Employ
Woman Deputies.

Woman Deputies.
New York, Jan. L. Sheriff
Julius Hamburger. who took Of
fee to-day, said it looked as if
there would be a rush of women
to take advantage of his offer to
appoint members of the fair sex
as special deputy sheriffs. He
received an inquiry from Mrs.
John S. Crosby, president of the
Woman's Democratic Club, ask
ing how many names of women
as candidates for deputies she
might submit.
AS many as you like" the
sheriff replied. Il believe the
innovation will be a good policy
and would like to appoint a
large number of widows or other
responsible women who are de-
pendent upon themselves for a
living. There is great need of
such deputies in dance halls and
other public places where young
women need protection"
The sheriff is permitted to ap-
point nearly 1000 deputies. He
said he would make the choice
of his first women deputies in a
few days.

Finance Offer.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. L.
Col. r. M. Thompson. Of New
York. who proposed a plan to
finance 1000. 900 bales of cotton,
has withdrawn his offer for the
reason he states in a private let
ter. that certain Southern news
papers and officials are making
Misrepresentation concerning it
which may tend to prevent its
future adoption. 1t is his opin-
ion that the South would save
$50, 0O0,0 600 a year by this plan
on the same line.
Following is Colonel Thomp-
sons letter to the committee who
conferred with him in New York:
las a result of the meetings
recently held throughout the
South, / am convinced that there
is no chance this year of my cot
ton plan being accepted by the
farmers, and to prevent a mis-
understanding hereafter / think
it better to formally withdraw
my offer. You will, therefore,
please consider my offer to re-
ceive cotton and make advances
upon it as cancelled"
