WOMEN ANSWER ATTACK
OF LIQUOR DEALERS
People Are Getting Tired of Sa-
looms Meddling in Politics,
Say Suffragette Officers

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 24.-The
local officers OF the Michigan Equal
Suffrage association issued the follow.
ing statement regarding the meeting
of the retail liquor dealers Of the
state held to adopt plans to fight wo-
man suffrage:
The right OF women TO vote does
not depend upon their views on the
saloon. Every sensible man must adj
NIT that. Men. are not asked how
they will vote on any question when
they are granted the ballot
THE campaign for woman suffrage
is not being waged on the temperance
issue. Women will divide on that
question, just as men do.
But saloon men make a mistake in
fighting woman suffrage. In Ohio and
Wisconsin they are organized against
1t. Now 1t seems Michigan Is to fol-
low. They may beat the cause, but II
will be a victory that will cost them
dear. The saloon men can't seem to
get 1t through their heads that men
as we'll as women are getting tired OF
the saloon In politics. Many temper
ate drinkers have no use for the sa-
loon as II Is often conducted. just be-
cause of their owners organizing to
fight good causes.
For the most part organized op-
position to woman suffrage comes
from the saloon. A cause Is often
known by the enemies IL makes II
the saloon men OF this state desire
a fight they will get II, but when II
comes they will find many men lined
up against them.
IF women have the right to vote
they certainly should not be denied Ii
because the saloon men are against
It, Many voters who may be indiffer-
ent to woman suffrage will be likely to
vote for II just because the liquor
interests seem determined TO de-
feat It. = IN
"Of one thing the saloon men may
be sure. II they plan TO fight our
cause we will know what they are
doing II for, for we have been watch
ing that phase OF our problem FOR
some time. We never intended as an
association to attack them, but we
planned long ago to watch them
closely"

together again that the resolution

BELIEVED NJ ANDREW WILL
TAKE DETROIT POSITION
New York Educator Apparently
Preparing to Step Into Mar
tindale's Shoes

Thus far William McAndrew, head
of the Washington Irving Technical
High school, New York, has sent no
word to the Detroit Board of Educa,
ton on the course he plans TO take
In connection with his election as sup
erintendent OF the local public school
system. IL is understood, however
that definite word may be received
on Thursday. The inspectors who
elected him are confident that he
means to accept the POSITION. Dis
patches from New York say that he
has rented his house In that city, and
this move is taken 10 mean that he
plans 10 come here.
The Journal of Education has the
following reference to the election OF
Mr.. McAndrew as successor to Wales
G. Martlndale:
William McAndrew, who has at
tanned worldwide fame as prin-
cipal of the Washington Irving
High school in New York city,
has been elected to succeed w.
c. Martindale, of Detroit, at
salary of $4,000. Mr.. Martindale
has been superintendent of the
city for nearly quarter OF a
century, and the schools are rare
ly surpassed by those Of any
other city. He has been keenly
alert to all progress in school
work, and only three sperintend-
ents OF cities as large have stay
ed as long as he. Mr.. McAndrew
will find an admirable working
system, but his ideas OF progress
will make those OF Detroit, even,
look very slow. We have long
desired to see Mr.. McAndrew at
the head of a school system, for
if he can demonstrate in Detroit
that II is possible to realize his
ideals he will be the greatest
educational leader since Pestaloz-
ri and Froebel Oh, but 1t will be
glorious demonstration II it can
be made, and Detroit Is the right
size and has good force OF
principals and teachers to under
take the dethroning OF senseless
traditions and artificialyity.

ONLY WOMAN TO HOLD
WIRELESS CERTIFICATE
STEALS MARCH ON CONGRESS
Miss Maybelle Kelso Accepts
Place on Steamer Out Of
San Francisco
LEGISLATORS MAY ACT
Action to Prevent Another One
Taking a Similar Position
is Probable

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Miss
Maybelle Kelso, the only woman in
the world who holds a government
wireless certificate, has stolen d
march on congress, and presented q
complex problem to officials here.
With Miss Kelso's acceptance OF q
place as wireless operator on the
liner Mariposa, out OF San Fran
cisco, the question was raised whcth-
er a woman should be entrusted with
the protection of lives In this Ie-
sponsible post. Today the depart
ment of commerce and labor held
that there was nothing In the present
laws to prevent II.
But II is possible that congress may
take special action to prevent an
other woman assuming the charge or
wireless key. The new wireless
law, framed to meet conditions dc
veloped by the Titanic disaster and
supposed to cover every contingency,
is now before President Taft for sig
nature. II does not consider the
feminine gender. Rep. Alexander,
chairman of the house merchant ma
rine committee now thinks II should.
Il would not want TO say off hand
whether a woman should hold sGch
a position especially under conditions
of great danger, but certainly think
we ought TO have hearings on the
question" he declared.
There are some women who couh
hold down the Job, but / doubt seri-
ously whether all women could"
II was stated that probably tke
question might be referred TO Presi-
dent Taft for consideration in con-
nection with his approval OF the wire
less bill. While the measure was
pending In congress, Miss Kelso hur-
riedly took the wireless examination
and was passed with high mark.

.BOUDOIR BURGLAR TWICE
FO|LEO IN NIGHT VISITS
Tall, Mustached Man Frightens
Pair of Women, But Skips
When They Scream

Mrs. G.. Freedman, No. 309 Mont
calm-st. east, awoke shortly after
midnight, Tuesday, to find tall man
with a mustache entering her bed
room through a window from which
a screen had been removed. She
screamed, and the burglar jumped out
of the window and fed before Detec-
tive Sullivan and his speed boys ar
rived in the flying squadron.
A few minutes later, Sullivan's
crew was again speeding. toward the
same residence section. This time,
Mrs. Martha Mitchell, No. l15 Win
der-st., had awakened to find the tall,
mustached gentleman standing in ner
bedroom. Business of scream, jump
and flying squadron repeated, but the
burglar evidently desisted after his
two unsuccessful attempts, as no
more calls of the sort were received.
The light-fingered gentry who have
succeeded in evading the big police
dragnet put in a profitable day. Tues
day, according to a score OF reports
to the detective bureau
Max Swerker, No. 264 Watson-st.,
was robbed OF $110 and a 5000 draft
at the bridge approach. August Lind
horst, Toledo, was touched" for his
watch at Congressst. and Woodw ard
ave. The thieves left his chain. II.
C. Brown, No. 263 Waterloo-st., was

BARON WINS POINT
De Graffenried's Demurrer to
Wife's COMPLAINT Sustained.

Albany Feb. 27-The Court Of Appeals
to-day sustained the demurrer which Baron
Raoul de Grafenried, OF Switzerland, in
terposed 70 the complaint Of his wife,
Baroness de Grahenried, formerly Gertrude
Van Cortland, Of New York. in the action
she began TO have set aside conveyance
Of half interest in real estate IN New
York City which she gave TO her husband
soon after their marriage in Paris, in 1901.
The baroness obtained a divorce In 1910
under the laws OF Switzerland, and brought
an action 10 recover the property she con-
veyed to her husband on the ground that
the laws OF Switzerland make II obligatory
on husband TO return TO his wife property
be obtained from her If the wife succeeds
10 divorce proceedings.
The Court Of Appeals afirms the decision
Of the Appellate Division, lst Department,
which held that the conveyance OF the
property TO the baron was made under the
laws Of this state, and that he could not be
compelled to return it ION the ground that
any tacit or legal obligation imposed by an
other state required such reconveyance."
The court gives the baroness the right 10
amend her complaint.
