WOMAN ASSA|LS JUDGE
AND ADVOCATES RECALL
Mrs. Florence Kelley Speaks
Before the Congress
Si0nal Club.

If Mrs. Florence Kelley of New York
had her way the recall of judges in New
York soon would be reality. Speaking
before the Congressional Club yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Kelley told of the de-
cision rendered by a certain New York
judge, in which he held that shed con-
nected with a canning factory was not a
part Of the manufacturing plant, and
that the proprietors of the concern were
not amenable to the law for violations
of the labor laws which occurred in that
shed. In the shed, she said, women
working for the canning company were
compelled to work over time, and chill
dren five and six years of age toiled
there, stringing and Smelling beans and
shocking corn for the canning factory
The judge spoken of, she said, has been
responsible for more misery and suffering
for the children of New York than any
other officer in the state.
Miss Jane Adams of Hull House, Chi
cagO, spoke of wonlan's influence on leg
islation having to do with improved con-
ditions for women and children wage
earners, and, in fact, all legislation that
would benefit the race, make the home
purer and better and protect it from the
ravages of disease.
Representative Taylor of Colorado told
of the influence of women in public at
fairs as demonstrated in Colorado, where
women vote at all elections. 1t has come
about, said Mr.. Taylor, that the politi-
clans of that state have ceased putting
undesirable men on the tickets, because
they know from experience that such men
will be beaten at the polls. The parties
have also learned, he said. that men like
Judge Ben Lindsey cannot be defeated
by any coalition of politicians, because
such candidates have the confidence Of
the woman voters
A number of speakers are on the pro-
gram for next Tuesdays meeting at the
Congressional Club. Equal suffrage will
be discussed.

Plight of Americans in Mexico.

10 the EultOF OF Inc star.
Regarding the proclamation Of Presi-
dent Taft given the Associated Press a
few days ago warning all Americans to
leave Mexico, and insinuating that we
could not look TO the United States gov
eminent for protection in the event we
were molested. l as one. and voicing the
opinion of the majority of Americans
here, wish to state that had we known
that We would not be given protection
by our mother country when we came
here, perhaps We never should have been
here at all. Many of US have interests
here. Many have their families as WELL
All cannot afford TO leave at once and
leave their possessions to the mercy OF
the war. What are we to do? Desert
those who cannot leave? The highest
representative of our own country had
better guess again.
There are nearly thousand Americans
here, and all are good, honest men, most
of them working in the mines. All are
law-abiding and have no desire to break
any of the laws of this republic In any
becomes necessary.
What disposition can we make of the
interests we own? Leave them after
years OF toll and worry to gain them ?
What advice does our President give us
on that score?
short time ago a representative was
arrested in Mexico, and the government
made haste to look after his case. Does
his position give him more privileges
than we are entitled to? If Mr. Taft
We're property owner here or had in
terests of any kind in Mexico what would
be his first move? Suppose he were tied
up here and could not leave at once.
Why. the whole army and navy would
be called on at once to look out for hin,

cision soon for the sake of the American

NEWS Of ROCKVILLE

Proposition-Movement for
Good Roads Bond Issue.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

ROCKVILLE. Nd, March Is, 1912.
At a largely attended meeting of the
citizens of Rockville, held in the court
house and presided over by Mayor Lee
Offutt, resolution was adopted direct
ing the mayor to name committee of
seven, with himself and Dr. Claiborne H.
Mannar. health officer of the town. as
members, to give careful consideration
to the proposition for a sewerage system
for Rockville and report at another citi-
zens' meeting to be held next Saturday
evening. Mayor Offutt appointed the fol-
lowing: Judge Edward c. Peter, John
L. Burnett, Thomas Dawson, Samuel B.
Hege and DR.. Otis M. Linthicum.
Survey of Town Advised.
At the request Of citizens of the town,
Mr.. Wier, president of Baltimore sew
erage disposal company, attended the
meeting and gave advice as to how to
proceed. He said the first thing neces-
sary would be to have a survey of the
town made, which work, he estimated,
would cost about 81 Goo He had inspect
ed the town, but was not prepared to
give anything like an accurate estimate
of the cost of Installing an adequate
sewer SYSTEM, DuC suggested IndI, II
necessary money is to be raised by a
bond ISSUE the legislature be asked to
pass a bill authorizing an issue of not
less than $4,000. Mr.. Wier answered nu-
merous questions bearing on the matter
under consideration.
While the people of Rockville without
exception appreciate the value of a sew
erage, it is believed that a good many of
them will balk at the expense Of install
ing proper system. The bonded indebt-
edness of the town is already about $685.
900, and to increase that indebtedness to
the extent that the installation of a
sewer system would make necessary
would. in the opinion of not a few, be
shouldering great financial burden.
