WOMEN OPPOSED TO
The FRANCHISE
Send News Notes of Their Work
Against It.

The National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage has been collecting a
table Of statistics from all parts Of the
country in order to prove the fallacy in
the argument of the suffragists that the
ballot IN the hands of women will in
crease the wages Of working women.
The reports show that New York City
pays q maximum salary OF s.so0 to
school-teachers, whose work is done in
1872 days. Cleveland. Ohio. pays a max
imum OF s1.oOo for $50 days service st.
Louis pays $500 for 200 days. Washing
ton pays $3.50 for $50 days.
IF the slffragist leaders really believe
that the ballot can affect the wages OF
women, as they constantly preach out
side the suffrage States" said Mrs.
Arthur NJ. Dodge, president Of the Ma
tonal Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage, perhaps some Of them will
explain why It is that In Hoboken,
where women do not vote, and with a
population of 1000. the maximum pay OF
school-teachers for 800 days work per
year is 1850. while In Salt Lake City,
where women have been voting for If

OF 5000, the maximum pay OF school,

WHERE WOMEN ARE
HEADS OF FAMILIES
The District of Shima Under
Feminine Rule.

Along the sunny coast Of Japan washed
| by the Pacific, there is a colony where
women are the heads and supporters
of families, while men abide by the order
of women.
| 1t is in the district Of shima. where the
colony Of sea-girls is located. ''Sea-girls'
they are called, as the occupation OF the
women is diving into the sea for pearls
and other gems OF the deep ocean.
/ And it is different from other colonies,
as the women not only are the heads OF
families, but work. while the male pop
ulation is practically idle. The colony,
the unique and interesting village, is
not new. The sea-girls have been SWIM
ming in the bay of Shima and taking
the responsibility of supporting large
! families for over ten centuries. Their
work is most strenuous. They stay in
water from eight to twelve hours a day.
They are skillful divers and swimmers.
! AT each dive they remain under water
from one TO two minutes.
But their task does not end there, and
they do all cooking. cleaning, sweeping.
and marketing for their families, and
tho male members OF the family do moth
ing except, give occasional helps TO the
women.
Power of the yillHge.
Women are the power Of the village.
When q slrl baby appears the parent and
relatives celebrate and feast. When girls
are four or five years old they are taught
TO swim and dive. By the time they
reach the age OF thirteenth or fourteen
they are sea-girls, and remain SO until
there are enough grandsons to be taken
care of and this task falls upon the
hands of grandmas.
Thus women work and control their
families and men remain as only assist
ants TO their wives, mothers, and daugh-
tiers.
Among sea-girls the best divers sue
ceed in getting husbands OF good family
and fortune. and the skill Of girls az
divers is more important than personal
appearance in the matrimonial question.
The marrying age OF the sea-girls is
from sixteen to twenty. n little earlier
than that OF the ordinary Japanese wo-
men. The sea-girls save their earnings
for bridal wardrobes and often accumu-
late 4 small fortune before they marry.
Marriage, however, does not stop the
work OF the women, and they keep on
diving.

MAYOR MUST ANSWER SUIT
Court Refuses to Grant 40-Day
Extension in Curran Libel Case.

Mayor Gaynor failed in his effort yes
terday TO obtain an extension OF forty
days in which to file his answer to the
libel suit brought against him by Alder
man H. II. Curran, chairman Of the al
dermanic committee that is investigating
police conditions. Curran is suing the
Mayor for 100000 damages.
Counsel for Alderman Curran told JUS
tce Mccall that he would consent to
delay OF five days but no more. He said
that he had already given the Mayor an
additional forty days to the twenty which
the law gives a defendant to answer
Supreme Court action. For Mayor Gay
nor. his lawyer explained that his honor
had been'so busy entertaining the officers
of the American warships who were
here few weeks ago, and was so en-
crossed in many other official matters
that he had not had chance to talk with
his client about his answer. Justice Nc
Call reserved decision, but said that an
extension OF forty days was altogether
too long. In the libel suit which General
Theodore A. Bingham, former Police
Commissioner. brought against Mayor
Gaynor the latter also delayed filing his
answer. The case was finally compro-
missed by the Mayor apologizing to Gen
eral Bingham for his remarks about him.

would appear as complainants. After
several attempts to have the case dis
missed, counsel for Dencker waived ex-
animation and Magistrate Murphy fixed
bail at $1,000 for the appearance Of the
defendant in the Court Of General Ses-

Dencker's lawyer asked that his client

Everywhere the President was created
with demonstrations OF enthusiasm, but
ne did not acknowledge the greetings by
speaking during his stay. His charac-
teristc smile lighted up the clusters that
gathered around ffim wherever he re-
ma!ned waiting for a moment. He was
greeted at the Union Depot by Colonel
Isaac NJ. Uman, head OF the Republican
organization of this part OF the state,
and by Professor Henry S. Emery, OF
Yale. chairman OF the recent National
Tariff Commission.
At the Union Depot Governor Baldwin
endeavored to pay his respects TO the
President. but was held back by the
crowd and finally stepped aboard train
for Hartford.
President Taft was accompanied on his
last visit here by Archie" Butt, who
went down with the Titanic. Major Butt
had been with the President on every
previous visit since his inauguration TIL
