Have Penny of Their Own for
Spending Money.

..ss%%s
Washington, D. CT do not think
the time is far away when laws
will be passed giving the wife and
mother who tolls long hours in the
home without the recompense of a
single penny, a salary, based on her
husbands income"
This statement was made by Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley, wife of the former
chief of the United States bureau OF
chemistry. Mrs. Wiley was speaking
of the radical plan suggested by Prof.
Nathaniel Schmidt of Cornell. She
believes that the wifes wage should,
when possible, be one-third of the
husbands salary and never less than
one-fourth. 1t might be that some of
that salary might have to come back
to the home again to procure comforts
and pay some of the expenses but
then the Joy of giving from her earned
money would be hers, explained Mrs.
Wiley. Right now the wife is the
only hard working human animal who
gets nothing for her 10, IL, sometimes
16 hours of hard labor day. Per
haps she is given board and lodging,
but even servants get more than that.
81 have known women in Washing.
ton society who go from week to week
with never penny of their own for
spending money. They are industrial
slaves, dependent for every necessity
of life upon the whims and good ma
ture of their husbands. l can really
see no reason, however, why mother
should get more salary than a wife
who has no children. A woman's
duty to her child is on such a high
plane that the financial question can
not enter there. OF course, she often
gives up outside duties and works
harder when the little ones come. but
her pay for this will come from the
children themselves. 1t is the duty of
every woman to learn profession or
trade to support herself and aid the
family if necessary. Nevertheless the
husband should be responsible for the
wages of the busy mother or the sick
ly wife"

CONVICT LOST TO WIFE |
MAN FINDS THAT WOMAN WEDS
ANOTHER ADMlRER.
Declares He Pleaded Guilty to Theft
That Spouse Confessed She
Had Committed.

New York City.-The old, old story
of man lost to his wife and
friends and the wife becoming the be-
loved of another came to light when
Francis Tully-convict No. 5256-sur-
rendered to the police. He is bitter
against the world, for he imagined
during his many dreary years in the
Eastern penitentiary at Philadelphia,
the bliss of the past would again ap-
pear when he saw his wife. Instead
he found her the happy companion of
another man. And then-like Enoch
Arden-he turned his face. He told
his story to the police and now he will
return to prison. Tully told the po-
lice that he had been a clerk in the
employ of the Standard Oil Co. in
Philadelphia and lived happily with
his wife until one day three years
ago the police entered his house in
search of stolen property She con-
fessed to him that she had been a
thief.
ITO save my wife," said Tully, "l
pleaded guilty to the theft and was
sentenced to six years in the peniten-
tiary. / served until a few days ago
when released on parole. One of the
requirements of my freedom was that
l remain in Pennsylvania. l have
broken my parole and so l must re-
turn to prison and serve the re-
mainder of the sentence. Why did
break my parole? 1t was because
ascertained that my wife was here in
New York. l came and learned that
another man had won her heartfelt
ing her that my sentence to prison
was similar to the granting of a di-
vorce. ] no longer have a place in her
heart. This is why l want to return
to prison."

FINAL TRIBUTE To
THE mai { DEAD
THlRTY-FouR BODIES, LAST OF
VICTIMS OF HAVANA HARBoR
HORROR, INFERRED.
NATION HONORS ITS MARTYRS
Ceremonies at Arlington and Washing
ton Are Second Only in Impress
ness to Mckinley Funeral
Thousands Pay Homage.

Washington, d. C.-With reverent
and impressive ceremonies, final trib-
ute was paid in this city to the men,
ory of the officers and men who went
down in the battleship Maine in Ha-
vana harbor Ia years ago. Side by
side with thousands of other Gun
known dead 81 bodies were laid un-
der the sod in the national burying
ground, Arlington cemetery, while
President Taft, members of his cab
met, other high government officials,
officers and men of the army and
navy and 5000 citizens stood with un-
covered heads.
The funeral service was read by
Rev. G.. Livingston Bayard, chaplain
of the Washington navy yard, assisted
by Rev. Father John p. Chadwick of
New York, who was chaplain of the
Maine at the time of the fateful explo-
sion.
Preceding the service at the ceme-
terry, was solemn procession from
the White Lot, the park behind the
White House, where the ceremonies
began. In the size Of the escort and
official exercises, the funeral ranked
second in the history of the country
only to that of the late President Nc
Kinley.
The thirty-four buried were the last
of the martyrs recovered from the
Maine wreck, the other 227 having
been taken out shortly after the ex-
plosion, when they were identified,
shipped to their several former homes
in different parts of the country and
buried in separate private funerals by
their families. The last 81 bodies,
however, which had lain under Ha-
vana harbor for IA years, could not be
identified so the one great funeral
was arranged as tribute of the ma
ton to her heroes. Before noon the
cruiser Birmingham arrived at the
Washington navy yard with the re-
mains of the men recently taken from
their watery tomb. At three o'clock
they were taken, on "a caissons, to
the White Lot, where n distinguished
gathering, headed by President Taft,
tional mourning.
Among those in the STANDS were
Rear Admirals Charles D. Sigsbee
and Richard Wainwright, who were
captain and executive officer, respect
lively. of the battleship Maine, when
the explosion sent the vessel to the
bottom of the harbor and carried with
her the gallant officers and men.
There were also men and women from
all over the country.
Each casket was carried to the
scene of the services on a separate
caisson. These were sent here from
army posts all over the country. Dur
ing the procession, field gun sta
toned at the Washington monument
fired 81 minute guns.
The pallbearers were enlisted men
of the navy, and the honorary pail
bearers members of the United States
Spanish War Veterans.
At the conclusion of the services at
the White Lot, the funeral procession
formed and marched to Arlington
cemetery, across the Potomac.

REFUSE DEMANDS
OF THE ENGINEERS
RAILROADS DECLINE TO GRANT
ANY INCREASES IN PAY TO
THEIR EMPLOYEES.
GRAND CHIEF STONE TALKS
Head of Brotherhood Says He Is
Neither Disappointed or Surprised
at Reply Made by Vice Presi-
dents and Managers.

New York City.-The committee of
IL, consisting of vice presidents and
general managers representing about
so railroads appointed to draw up an
answer to the demands of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers for an
increase in wages, declined to grant
any increases. To this the conference
committee OF the Brotherhood, headed
by w. S. Stone, grand chief engineer,
replied that the engineers reaffirmed
their demands and if the managers
had nothing further to offer the en-
tire matter would be submitted to the
engineers represented for their final
action. The curt reply to this note
by j. c. Stuart, vice president of the
Erie and chairman of the committee
of IL, was that the conference COM
mittee of managers could add nothing
to its reply and trusted the matter
would be given full consideration
when the entire question is submitted
to the engineers for their final con-
sideration.
The roads affected are those known
as the Eastern District railroads.
They are those roads north of the
Norfolk e Western and east of Chi
cago. The great systems involved
are: The New York Central, the
Pennsylvania, Erie, Delaware & Lack
awanna, Jersey Central Baltimore &
Ohio, Ontario C Western, New York,
New Havea & Hartford, Boston e
Maine, Long Island, the Wabash East
and many smaller lines. These roads
do more than one-half the traffic of
the United States. Twenty-Five thou
sand, seven hundred brotherhood engi-
neers are employed and about 1000
non-union engineers.
"Our committee cannot call a
strike" said Chief Engineer Stone,
"but it can order referendum to be
taken on the question of calling one.
The engineers are in good condition
for strike. / am not talking strike,
however, since l do not believe in
strikes if they can be averted, but We
believe our demands are just and
right. l am neither disappointed nor
surprised at the reply. / have out
lived all that 1t will take a two-thirds
vote to declare strike and l have
the power to veto it If declared"
In their answer to the demands of
the engineers the managers showed
that the proposed increase in pay
would amount to total annual in
crease of S7,553, 1924 or 1858 per
cent, the equivalent of a lien over first
mortgages of S1SS,S44,S1S or per
cent securities. The growing traffic,
they assert, has overtaXed the exist
ing facilities and to grant the increase
would be to make it impossible for
many roads to raise money needed for
betterments. With some, the mana
gers say, the increase would spell
bankruptcy.
The fact of forced reductions in rates
by the interstate commerce commits
sion is cited as showing how the earn
ing capacities of the roads are ham
pered. The fact that the engineers
received an increase in 1910 is re-
ferred to. This increase was in the
face of proposed advance in rates
which the interstate commerce COM
mission would not allow.
