WOMEN VOTE in TEN STATES.
Enthusiastic Over Their Victories in

Woman suffrage has carried in
four of tne five states IN which the
question was put to a balloc. DR..
Anna Shaw, president of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association
of America declares:
Women will have the vote in
Michigan, Oregon, Arizona aud Kan
sas, making total of ten states in
all This is by far the greatest vic
tory suffrage has ever won. We ex-
pected to win in Kansas, Arizona and
Oregon, but we're not confident of
the result in Michigan.
This victory means that we are
now on easy street In the next
presidential election every political
party will have a woman suffrage
plank in its platform. Women will
hold the balance of power in the West
and every political party will try to
gain the favor of the WON IN voter.
A complete victory for woman suf-
frage is not far away"

a total of 81 electoral votes, as fol-
lows: California, Is; Colorado, 8 !;

Bad Gas.

There have come to this office num-
ber of complaints recently of the in
ferior quality of gas furnished by the
Gas Company to city consumers. Some
of the complaints say that it is almost
impossible to read at night, no matter
how good ones eyesight may be, by
one gas burner turned on full, and
even two and three at the same time
give very poor light. The complaint
seems to be general.
Desiring to learn something of the
other side of the story the Capital had
an interview with Mr.. ]. e. Bosley,
President of the Annapolis Gas and
Electric Light Company who says the
poor gas is not the fault of the Gas
Company as the quality is the best.
Mr.. Bosley says the Annapolis gas is
manufactured from the best coal and
is far better grade of gas than wa
ter gas used in Baltimore. 1t is d 'e
to the old pipes in houses in Annapo-
lis, says Mr.. Bosley some of which
have been installed 80 to 40 years and
are corroded with rust, besides being
too small for the proper transmission
Of gas. The old piping in the old
houses is probably the cause of the de-
festive gas. which Mr.. Bosley declares
is not the fault of the Gas Company

.STUPENDOUS PROGRAM

Almost UnbeIieyabIy Large Number

THE WORLD IN BALTIMORE.

Thst the numbers on the program
of a great mission exposition like
'.The World in Baltimore" may run
so high as one every two minutes
seems incredible yet this record has
been reached at various times for a
period ranging from two to four
hours.
The program for Wednesday, No
vember 6, consisted of las separate
and distinct numbers in Exposition
Hall, Play Hall and Page ant Hall, and
between the hours of and 10 O'Clock
during the evening of this day, sixty
different events were carried out,
which is a trifie more than one for
each two minutes.
Quite a number of new Especial
days. have been arranged for since
the opening of the exposition. These
days have proved quite popular, large
numbers of people having come to
Baltimore to attend the special cere-
monies, which characterized "Metho-
dist Day." Masonic Day" aud
others.
In addition to the special days which
had been arranged for, it has just
been decided to hold an American
Colony Day." which will be devoted
to Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto
Rico. as representing this country's
empirical experiments
The program will be somewhat
different from those which have char
acterized other special occasions, in
that the old-time native life in the col.
onies will be vividly pictured and con-
trasted against it, the modern and
better life which Columbia has borne
to the islands which once were
Spain's, and to the island Of KilAuea.
Thursday was Reformed Church

town members of that de nomination

TELLS HOW 8 HOUR LAW APPLIES
Attorney General Fits Limit Only to
Actual Government Jobs.

Acting Secretary of the Navy
Beekman Winthrop has made public
an opinion by Attorney General
Wiekersham constituting the act of
the last Congress limiting the hours
of work of mechanics and Others en-
gagged on Government contract work.
The question to be decided was where
the Government must draw the line
on the eight hour day in purchasing
materials for its own use.
The Attorney General held, broadly,
that where work for the general
public in any manufacturing plant
ceased and work for the Government
began, there the eight-hour restric-
tion must be applied. In other words,
in the manufacture of gun, for in
stance, as soon as a particular steel
has been selected to be made into a
gun, out of lot of forgings intend
ed for other purposes, all work done
on that particular forging hereafter
must be under the eight-hour restric-
tion, while work on the other forg-
ings not intended for the Government
need not be done under the eight
hour restriction.
The Attorney General held there
was nothing in the law 10 prevent a
mechanic empoyed in a plant doing
work for the Government from put
ing in additional hours working on
material not destined for Govern
Dlent use after he had worked eight
hours.
"While theoretically it is possible
for a mill 20 drop it's Government
work aud take up private contracts
for two or four hours more than the
eight hour day." Acting secretary
Winthrop declared, practically this
law will result in assuring an eight
hour day to every workman en-
gagged in Government work.
The Attorney General pointed out
that it was impracticable to attempt
to carry the application of the eight
hour restriction back through all the
ramifications of work done on ma
terial which finally emerges into an
article for Government use.

WILSON TO BUSINESS MEN.
No Interference in Honest Operations
is President-Elects Word.

President-elect Wilson has given
out the following statement to the
public:
THE result fills me with the hope
chat the thoughtful progressive forces
of the nation may now at last unite
to give the country freedom of enter
prise and q government released
from all selfish and private influences
devoted to justice and progress.
There is absolutely nothing for the
honest and enlightened business men
of the country to fear.
No man whose business Is con-
Quoted without violation of the rights
of free comp atition and without such
private understandings and secret
alliances as violate the principle of
our law and the policy of all whole
some commerce and enterprise need
fear either interference or embarrass-
men from the Administration.
Our hope and purpose is now to
bring all the free forces of the nation
into reactive and intelligent co-opera-
tion and to give to our prosperity
freshness and spirit and confidence
such as it has not had in our time.
THE responsibilities of the task
are tremendous. but they are COM
mon responsibilities which all leaders
of action and opinion must share.
Aad with the confidence of the people
behind US everything that is right is
possible.
my own ambition will be more
than satisfied if may be permitted
to be the frank spokesman of the ma
tion's thoughtful purposes in these
great matters"

Ordinance Not Enforced.

There is city ordnance forbidding
splitting on the sidewalk, which. ordi-
nance, however, seems to be enforced
rather in the breech than in the fob
servance. The habit Of splitting or, the
sidewalk is not only unsanitsry, but it
is disgusting. Women's skirts come in
contact with the expectoration probab-
ly from tuberculor persons, and these
germs infect others.
The Civic League has had cards
printed and posted in conspicuous
places about town, but it remains for
some man to be made an example Of
before the practice of splitting on the
sidewalk can be stopped.
