SPOKANE GIRL
WAS NOT AFRAID


SAN FRANCISCO, April 11.-Miss
Ethel Irving, a wealthy Spokane young
woman has no fear of burglars even
when they come in the dead of night
armed with revolvers.
She had an experience with one of
them on Friday night in her apart
ments in the Grant hotel, 1853 Bush
street. She gave him drubbing which
he is not likely to forget, retorting
when he threatened to shoot her with
a revolver:
Don't you think for minute that 1
am afraid of one of those old things"
The burglar managed to escape, TAX
ing with him a valuable bracelet
Burglar Rummaging Room.
1t was early daylight when Miss
Irving was awakened to find that
burglar had entered her apartment
through a window that opened upon a
fire escape. The man was standing
at the bureau clawing over some arti-
cles.
The light was dim, but the woman
was able to- make out his object Some

LOST HIS GIRL
COULDN'T PAY

NEW YORK, April 11.-There was
no smoothness in the course of the
true love of Berthod Bernstein and
Miss Nellie Mcdonald Tuesday night.
In fact their paths were strewn with
! thorns, minus the roses. Bernstein
is western Union operator, living at
209 West One Hundred and Forty
seventh street, Manhattan. Miss Nc
Donald lives at 472 Prospect Place,
Brooklyn. In days gone by there had
been little quarrels and Tuesday was
fixed for the reconciliation hour after
one of those misunderstanding
Armed with theatre tickets as a
peace offering, Bernstein pursued his
way to Miss McDonalds home. The
theatrical dove of peace appeared to
find welcome and the pair repaired
to Brooklyn playhouse. After the
play, to make more certain the re-
newed friendship, Bernstein proposed
supper. So they adjourned to a Full
ton street restaurant, where they re-
manned until midnight had come and
gone. Miss Mcdonald then asked to
be taken home and Bernstein called
for the check When it came, hur-
ried search through the. operators
pockets failed to reveal any cash, ex-
cept a modest. little nickel Pleadings
with the waiter availed not and Bern
stein was forced to leave his hat and
his overcoat as security Off the 75-cent
meal.
Giving the nickle to Miss Mcdonald
he placed her aboard street car and
started her home. Remorse seized him
then, and pursuing the car, coatless,
hatless and pennyless, he boarded it. |
The conductor, like the waiter, had
none of the milk of human kindness
in his system and Bernstein had to
get Off
Undaunted he did Marathon, reach
Miss McDonald's home just about as |
soon as she did. There she gave him
a dollar and he rode to the city and |
paid the BILL getting his hat and coat

WANTS WIVES TO BE
PAID WAGES.IS STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, April Ill do not
think the time is far away when laws
VIII 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" That 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 ra-
dical plan suggested by Professor Ma
thaniel Schmidt of Cornell. She be-
lieves the the wife's wages should,
when possible, be one-third of the hus-
bands salary, and never less than one
fourth but for the toiling of the house
wife there ought to be some recon-
pense.
1t might be that some of that salary
or wages might have come back 10 the
home again to procure comforts and
pay some of the expenses, but then
the joy of giving from her hard-earned
money would be hers, Mrs. Wiley ex-
planned.
Right now the wife is the only
hard working human who gets nothing
for her ten, twelve, and sometimes,
hours of hard labor day. Perhaps
she is given board and lodging, but
even servants get more than that.
Il have known women in Washing
ton society who go from week to
week with never a penny of their own
for spending money They are indus
trial slaves, depending for every nee
essity of life upon their husbands.
Even the smallest pleasure is unob-
tainable if it costs cent unless their
husband is approached. This is a
most fertile source of martial I'M
happiness.
1T is the duty of every woman to
learn profession or trade to sup
port herself and aid the family purse
if necessary. Nevertheless the hus-
band should be responsible for the
wages of the busy mother or the
sick1y wife"

OWES LEGS SKIN
COMING FROM EGGS

CLEVELAND, April Ito the
lining of more than a dozen egg shells
Louis Zaledal owes the fact that he is
today in possession Of two good legs.
Were it not for skin grating opera
ton of an unusual nature performed
in Cleveland for the first time it is be-
lieved Zaledal would be cripple for
life.
On the morning of February II lale-
dial stepped into pit which was be-
ing used to drain off steam and boiling
water at the Otis Steel company's
plant. His left leg was burned from
the knee down. He was taken to his
home and later removed to the Cen
trail General hospital.
/. Amputation of the limb was at first
thought to be necessary. DR.. Jacob
Silberman and DR.. J. W. Epstein, how
ever, decided upon a grating
operation. The difficulty was to obtain
enough skin to cover the burned
place His wife volunteered to give
some OF her skin, but this the husband
would not permit
Finally it was decided to use the
latest scientific method that of mix
ing human skin and the skin of egg
shells. Skin was removed from Yale
dal's thigh and this was combined
with the egg skin. Then the physician
constructed what is known as els
lands" on the burned leg. There were
about forty of these, and the skin
grew and covered the leg.
Great care was necessary in break
ing the egg shell, as shells had to be
removed without breaking the inner
skin. Charles L. Moore, superintendent |
of the hospital spent one whole morn
ing breaking the egg shells.
The operation was performed on
February "a.

1T DELIVERS THE. GOODS.

Stung by the United Press Associa-
TONS triumph in giving all the news of
the Lawrence strike, the Associated
Press papers are carrying long articles
showing the absolute fairness" of
that organization, and the ''impossi-
bility''s ;of any domination by inter
ests." Facts often speak louder than
words. The facts. in the Lawrence
case had a voice that was heard III the
halls OF congress- There is another
fact in the Associated Press situa
ton, as we understand it, and one
that is not fully explained by A p.
papers. 1t is the power of the A. p.
bondholders in voting, "a power, which,
together with the control of the big
papers by the interests, gives a major
ity vote in the direction of that ser
vice. Bill Allen Whites paper, the
"Emporia Gazette" says a contem
porary, has the same voice in A. T.
as does the New York Herald Quite
right, but scarcely the same voice as
the New York Herald and its friends.
The United Press, says all. A. P. paper
simply sells news. Quite right once
more. Since the sale of that news de-
ponds, as does the sale of any other
article handled by a jobber of repu-
tation, upon it's quality, the jobber is
far more likely to handle goods of
The highest quality than is the CO.
operative sales company, which must
use only that stuff which it's mem
bers make. The existence of the Uni
ted Press depends upon its timliness,
and alertness, and having |
to deliver the goods" to continue in |
business it does just that. So true is
this that every city of Importance in
the United States has it's U. p. paper.
And, what cannot. be altogether CO.
that paper is always indie
pendent, fearless, and soldier with

A Great Army of voca4ists Eager For

At present there are not as many
Americans as usual in Milano-possi-

In Milan, the commercial center of

The White Whale.

The white whale, OF beluga, Is an
arctic cetacean and closely allied to the
narwhal. 1t Is pure white In color,
twelve to eighteen feet long, whalelike
in form, with a huge muzzle and nu-
merous sharp conical teeth.
The white whale swims with ex-
traordinary speed by doubling its huge
tail under its body and then striking
out with 1t. Scientists who have stud
led It In its natural envlrons say that
It Is able to catch the swiftest OF fish
es, often pursuing Its prey far up the
northern rivers. 1t Is gregarious and
may be seen at times in herds Of forty
or fifty.
These herds not in~frequently gambol
around boats In the arctic seas, and
the natives of Greenland often capture
them with harpoons or nets. The flesh
of the white whale, in fact, is a o
siderable source Of food supply to
them. From 1t also Is derived one Of

THE CERTAIN ENFORCEMENT OF
THE LAW.

One phrase in the last grand jury report is worthy
of careful consideration by all who wish to see the
law obeycd, "Thc certain enforcement of the law
without favoritism, etc, has operated to decrease
crime in Noxubcc County"
A year or $50 ago the BEACON had an extended
editorial on ''Thc Rationale of Punishment" which
argued that certainty of punishment rather than Sc
verify was the great deterrent of crime. The expe-
rience Of Noxubee county since Judge Carroll has been
on the bench and Harden Brooks district attorney,
amply vindicates the argument of the BEACON. There
has been no excessive punishment inflicted, no undue
severity in prosecutions, but it has become known
that every crime will be thoroughly investigated
and punished, without fear or favor and the per
centaee of crime decreased forthwith and greatly.
Nearly all criminals, especially amateur criminals,
are gamblers in a way. They consider the chances
of not being detected and they figure the chances of
getting off free, one way or another, if caught. They
gamble on these chances or they reject them. When
they believe detection sure, or punishment pretty
certain they obey the law. The technicalities of the
law offer much hope of escaping the laws penalties,
but this operates but little on the ordinary mind.
The main hope of the ordinary law breaker lies in
having friends on the grand jury who will stave off
an Indictment, or friends on the petit jury who will
protect him, or influence on the court by prominent
men in the county in whose keeping, as the saying
goes, fare the keys of the county jail' to get him Off
free or with light punishment when conviction and
heavy punishment is due. Remove this hope and
leave him as his only reliance the technicalities of
the law and he refuses to take the chances.
There has been no great moral upheaval in Noxu-
bee county, no revolution in public morality. The
change has come as naturally as cotton grows in a
good season. The certain enforcement of the law
works for good in every way. The knowledge that he
stands equal before the bar of Justice with any other
man helps the self respect of every law abiding man,
and the same knowledge to the law breaker helps
nightly his respect for the law. Like most excel.
lent things this is exactly right.
Noxubee county has a record and reputation in
many ways that are the pleasure of pride of her citi.
zcns. Her character and reputation now in the mat.
ter of obedience to law will attract. the attention of
many and command the respect of all.
