EPISCOPAL MILLIONAIRE BACKS
LOCAL OPTION.


The notable event of the past week
in the loca. option campaign was the
open letter to the Legislature publish
ed Saturday by Mr.. William F. Cock-
ran, a millionaire philanthropist who
says that one year ago he was not at
all interested in the local option plan
but has become so impressed with the
fairness of the proposition of letting
the people vote on the question that
if this bill is beaten in this session he
will concentrate his money for Chris
tian and philanthropic purposes upon
this question, not to take the place of
others, but to reinforce the League
work.
The Erening San of Saturday re-
ported that it was rumor d that Mr..
Cochran would give a million dollars
to the local option campaign. Mr..
Cochran refused to discuss figures IN
add anything to his signed statement
except to say that he considers that
he considers that those who are we'll
off owe duty to the less FORUM ,t,
and that he was influenced by the
fact that all kinds Of Christian work
is hamp'rrd 80 long rs Il vicious sp
cial interest ike the liquor traffic Is
PRINTED to d,.hauch the electorate
and control politics.
In spit" of the d"$p rat" efforts of
the liquor interests to break down tn
support Of the bill, its friends seem
to he standing firm and the organiza-
ton of tn House last week was rvi
IDENTITY afraid to risk a vote on the
question of taking the bill away from
committee.
Meantime many Democrats ar" be-
ginning to realize that it means the
complete overthrow of the party If
the bill should be hratcn by foul
means after the people elected local
option legislature.
The local option fight in the House,
which will determine for this srssioI.
whether the bill will become IL law or
be- "killcd'', will be made for the
third time on March 18th. This be-
came certain when the House Tenn
perance Committee met Monday night
and fixed that date for bringing out
the bill.
1t is regarded as certain that the
committee will make majority re-
port unfavorable to the bill, while
there will be, as usual, a minority
report favoring the measure. In this
fight, probably alone of all measures,
the committees report matters little
and the real struggle comes long be-
fore the report, in winning delegates
to either side of the question.

To Divide Election District.

Owing to the large number of voters
in Mechanicstown District and the time
required to count the ballots, the county
Election Supervisors visited this district
last Friday for the purpose Of dividing
the district into precincts.
That each precinct should contain as
near as possible an equal number of yot-
ers, the Supervisors decided that to start
at the Hauver's district line near Lantz
and follow the public road from that
place to where it intersects the State
Road at Thurmont, thence over that road
known as Church and Water streets in
Thurmont. thence over the county road
leading from Water street along the
creek to VIM. Fogle's and thence to the
Creagerstown district line near Jimtown,
would divide the district properly. From
what we can learn there will be about
twenty-five more voters on the east than
on the west side of this line. To the
ives: of the line will be Preciuct No. l.,
and to the east Precinct No. 2.

to the articles Of impeachment against
Judge Robert W. Archibald. Of the United
States Commerce Court, charging him
with official misconduct and gross i'm
propriety on more than ten counts. as
forecasted in The Herald a week ago.
Impeachment proceedings Will be begun
in the Senate probably before July Il
After agreeing 20 the report and statement
Of specifications and allegations, practi-
calIy as prepared by a subcommittee. the
full body decided to withhold the report
until the House has settled down to busi-
ness a1er the Democratic convention.
Chairman Clayton said yesterday that
such a course would hasten the action OF
the House. as he will then be able to
bring Il up on the floor OF the full House
as a question OF highest privilege and
obtain immediate action.
That the House will adopt the report
Of the full committee and order the ap-
pointment OF managers to present the
case to the Senate is a foregone conclu-

Republicans voted for Impeachment in

MRS. BELMONT RIVAL
TOPROYISION TRUST
Society Leader Sells Butter, Eggs
and Even Cuts of Veal at
Reduced Prices.

New York, June 21.-Mrs o. H. P.
Belmont has become a rival Of the Butter
and Egg Trust and the Beef Trust. II
became known to-day that for some days
past Mrs. Belmont had been supplying
her rich society friends with fresh coun-
try butter and eggs and roasts OF beef
from her suffrage stores, at 13 and
Is East Forty-first Street.
That the suffrage leader had actually
entered the dairy business and was even
selling fine cuts of lamb and beef at
from ? TO cents a pound cheaper than
her patrons could buy from the retail
ers was told to-day by Mrs. Belmont
herself.
A line Of smart equipages, with coach
men and footmen wearing the smart
livery of many families Of New York $
rich, stood before Mrs. BelmOnt's suf-
frage headquarters this morning.
7 have bought up 5000 pounds OF fine
creamery June butter at June prices
for next fall trade said Mrs. Belmont.
This butter is now in storage"
Mrs. Belmont told Of her new venture
while she was engaged in giving orders
for the remodeling and enlarging Of her
suffrage lunchroCm and storage plant
for the dairy and market business.
II am so greatly encouraged at the
success Of my restaurant-we have dined
more than 5000 persons here since its
opening last December-that I decided
out OF the burden OF my experience here
to enter the dairy business.
I'VE shall buy direct from the whole
saler. We will be able to sell a few
cents cheaper than the average retailer.
Ny idea is to stimulate a greater inter
est in women to enter business We buy
our butter and eggs now from a Jersey
dairy run by women"
Two and three times a week the past
winter Mrs. Belmonts rich society
friends have been giving luncheon par
ties at her suffrage restaurant, helping
themselves the same as the working
girls
The restaurant has been a big sue
cess" said Mrs. Belmont while II Is
closed this summer, shall make i'm
provements, costing more than $1,000
At least for luncheon for a large num-
ber Of women, ! think have solved the
problem of the high cost Of living"

CINDERELLA LOSES
SLIPPER IN SUBWAY
But if Fairy Prince Is Caught in
This Case He Will Be
Arrested.

New York, June 2l.-Here is an up
tO-date Cinderella story, and it's nc
fairy tale, either Miss Rebekah p.
Lhowe. eighteen years old. is the hero
Inc, and the prince, if he may be so
him as a highwayman, is described as
tall, handsome, and dark.
And the story differs in other re-
spects. too. from the fairy story. Our
little Cinderella is not the drudge OF
the house" She Is a stenographer in
the office OF L. P. Cartier, % Broad
Street. Nor is the slipper in this story
a glass one. True. ii was a wee bit of
a slipper that would fit only one foot
in a hundred, but IL was just a yellow
Oxford, and # and its mate cost s..
Miss Lhowe came down to business in
a subway express. Holding to a strap
was a tall young man with raven black
hair, and, as our Cinderella says, such
lovely brown eyes"
Leaving the train at the Wall Street
station, Miss Lhowe was ascending the
stairway when the slipper was snatch.
ed from her right foot. She wheeled in
time to see a man fleeing through the
passage under Broadway. He looked
like the young man she had seen in the
train.
Miss Lhowe finally got another pair OF
slippers, but when the Cinderella paral-
lei was mentioned, Miss Lhowe grew
scornful.
Hes no prince" she said, and I
wouldn't speak to him even II he re-
placed my slipper with a solid gold
one. Ia have him arrested. That's
what I'd do
So the slipper-snatcher would better
not invite the modern Cinderella to come
to a grand ball and try to put her foot
in that slipper. II she went, she would
have policeman at her heels, ready to
seize the counterfeit prince.
