Modern WOodmen to Fight
Out Question of Insurance
Rates at Next Convention

ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,, Dec. 4.-The
final battle between the head camp
officers and the ranking members of
the Modern Woodmen of America
over the question of an increase in
the rates of insurance in the order
will be fought out in the seventeenth
triennial meeting of the order at
Toledo, Ohio, June 16, 1914, according
to announcement of the executive
council from the head camp officers
here yesterday. The council, having
set the date, is now making prepara-
tons for the biggest meeting in the
history of the order Fully 10000
members will attend, drawn by the
struggle which they claim involves
the very life of the organization.
The rate question was first raised
in its present form at the triennial
meeting at Buffalo in 1911. Action
was postponed until the winter, when
a special meeting of the head camp
was held in Chicago, and a readjust-
ment of rates voted. All the rates
are higher than those hitherto pre-
vailing, and those for the older men,
berS of the order are three to nine
times higher. Throughout the coun-
try, and especially In the States of
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri,
the rates were strongly resisted. Sew
eral test cases were brought in cir
cult courts, resulting in injunctions
against enforcement Of the new rates
on the ground that they were not
imperative to the financial safety of
the order that since the benefits of
the organization are mutual and re-
ciprocal, the rates cannot be enforced
without the consent of the majority
of the membership.
The head camp in the summer of
1918 proposed referendum, sub
hitting seven different rate plans for
the selection of the membership. But
the impression gained currency that
the referendum was ruse, and the
result was a vote of less than / per
cent. of the members. The executive
council had been expected to take
some action on the question at its
meeting here but deferred 1t to the
triennial convention. Opponents of
the plan declare the whole proposal
was move to transform the insur-
ance plan of the order from fraternal
to "old line"

Sheriff to Continue Gas
Fight Against Bandit Lopez

BINGHAM, Utah, Dec. At was
decided by Sheriff Andrew Smith this
morning to continue for another
twenty-four hours the smudges which
We're ignited in the Minnie mine Mon
day afternoon in hope of driving
Ralph Lopez from his hiding place,
as it has been learned several tun-
nels have not been reached by the
poisonous gases. Coal tar will be en-
ployed today in the generation of
gases, and it was definitely announced
the mine would not be opened until
Friday afternoon.
Lopez has now been a fugitive for
two weeks, and in that time has
killed six men, one a countryman
with whom he had engaged in a
quarrel, and five peace officers who
attempted to arrest him. He took
refuge in the Minnie mine last Thurs
day, but many believe he made his
escape from the underground work
ings either Saturday or Sunday, be-
fore the work of filling the mine with
poisonous gases was begun.

Meeting the Bungalow Hotel and said

ing the situation. the girl called up
City Marshal Stieff and told him Of
the request. Telling the girl to call
up an auto driver, the marshal
dressed and in a minute was on his
way to the hotel three miles away.
The run was made in less than five
minutes. When the marshal burst in
the door he found Mrs. William Suy-
kers, wife of the manager of the
hotel. unconscious with blood stream
ing from an ugly wound in her face.
Mr.. Suykers, who had left but fif-
teen minutes before to take a party
to the railway station, arrived al
most the same time.
The woman was revived, and II
was some time before she could re-
gain her self-control, and between
sobs told what had transpired. Otto
Becker. a member of well-to-do
family, she said had started quarrel
with her. When he was told to leave
the place, she alleged, he grasped a
soda water bottle and hurled it at
her. Glasses and bottles were smash
ed in the struggle that followed,
Becker tearing the shirtwaist from
the woman's body. Finally Mrs.
Suykers managed to escape into a
side room, where she locked the door
and reached the telephone. Becker,
becoming frightened, ran from the
hotel and escaped in the woods.

n. ]. WHARF LINE
TO Be EXTENDED
War Secretary Fixes New Hud-
son River Mark for Above
WeehaWken.

| WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The per-
manent location of the pierhead line
on the Jersey shore of the Hudson
river was settled yesterday afternoon,
following a discussion by a large
number of representatives of the Har-
Dor Line Commission of both New
York and New Jersey before Secretary
of War Garrison. The determination
of the pierhead line below Weehaw-
ken, having been temporarily settled
in the hearings before Secretary
Stimson, and executed in a permit
issued by him last May, the question
yesterday concerned the line north
ward from Weehawken.
The New York Harbor Line Board
has proposed an advance of the pres
ent pierhead line beginning at a point
opposite Eighty sixth street, with a
general extension of 400 feet at a point
opposite 134th street. From Eighty
sixth street 1t is proposed by the New
York Harbor Line Board to move the
pierhead line back from so to 100 feet
The varying effect of the proposed
change of the lines had created much
interest In the final action of the sec
rotary of war. 1t was expected that
Mr.. Garrison would consider the mat
ter for several months, but with his
characteristic aptitude for settling
hard problems, he dictated his decision
to a stenographer in the midst of the
final stages of the hearing, and before
those in attendance realized it, the
whole matter was on paper and prac-
| tically ready for the secretary's sigma
| ture.
The secretary's decision was as fol-
| lows:
| Yxyanloa IN C11ftanhaTp
am willing to approve a project by
which the pierhead line proposed by
| the New York Harbor Line Board on
September 80 1913, shall be the per-
manent line, so to speak, and grant a
| blanket permit or permits to indi-
viduals with the understanding that
| all of them come in under the same
blanket privilege, out to the 1897 pier
head line; that permit to be revocabls
at the will of the secretary of war,
and the obstruction to be removed
after a due amount of notice, to be
put in the permit, with the ordinary
precautions that the government in
sists on being put in such permit.
From Gutenberg l am willing to
do the same thing wherever the New
| Jersey Harbor Commission line is to
| the east of the line proposed by the
| New York Harbor Line Board, Sep
| TENDER 80, 1913, My mind is not clear
and L have not made it up as to the
situation where the parties desire less
land than given them by the New
Jersey Harbor Commission proposed
line or by the New York Harbor
Line Boards proposed line. 1 shall
have to consider that question fur
Their before reaching any conclusion.
81 think that the New Jersey Har-
Dor Line Commission can get to-
gether with army engineers on this
latter suggestion of mine because
their lines might as well be made
coincidental up here by Edgewater,
and if 1t Is, then I will adopt the
line made by the harbor board"

TO write what | know about Women
Sufferedge. 1t is a very difficult thing
to be asked to write about, as | hardly
know anything at all of it.
The women, / believe, are divided
into four classes-the sufferegettes,
who break windows, throw black stuff
into the piller boxes, and blow up
Lloyd Georges new houses-the suf-
ferigists who want women to get the
vote, but who don't want them to do
wild things-the antics, who are most
ly stupid, and don't want women to
vote at all-and the ones who don't
care If they get the vote OF not. The
sufferigists are far the most clever
usually. The sufferigettes are really
not much to be blamed for their con-
duct, for Mr.. Asquith and Lloyd
George, and the rest OF them, have
always been promising them the vote,
and then breaking their promises In
a way that would make anybody mad.
Their husbands or they have got any
always pretend they sympathise with
them, but in their hearts they are
cntics."
