Proud of Her Convictions.
One of the most active fighters in the
w s. p. T. ranks is Miss Amy Maud
Hicks formerly a professor at Bryn
Mawr Her record of previous convictions
reads like that of a New York burglar
She is exceedingly proud of this record,
which is spread over page of the new
s'Who's Who of woman suffrage.
Miss Hicks is now so we'll known to the
police that she cannot appear on the
street without meeting some policeman
who has had the pleasure Of accompany
ing her to police station. No one woman
in the militant army has done more for
the glaciers trade than Miss Hicks.
Another American woman who has left
for home recently after a tour of Europe,
spent chiefly in Investigating the suf-
frage movement, is Mrs James Sanborn
of San Francisco, who was one Of the
leaders in the campaign which gave the
California women the vote. Mrs. San
born spent three months in Spain. where
she met one avowed suffragette. This
bold pioneer declared, however, that she
had many sub rosa supporters. Mrs.
Sanborn visited many of the. suffrage
ORGANIZATIONS here, but did not do any
active work for any of them.
Miss Teresa Frances Wilson, secretary
OF the National Council of Women of
Canada. is still an active unit of the
w. S. p. us fighting cohorts. She is
playwright, and uses her pen as well as

Improvements in Buenos Aires.
From the Providence Journal

From the Providence Journal
The city of Buenos Aires is fast devel-
oping into one of the worlds greatest
cities 1t is already well above the mil
lion mark, and the dwarflike Spanish
houses of the flat-roof and courtyard
type are gradually making way for large
and imposing edifices of no mean archi-
tectural beauty. The labyrinth of narrow
streets. of which the ancient city was en-
tirely composed, is now being relieved by
broad avenues. shaded plazas and par s.
In 1904 an avenue over a mile In length
and forty yards wide was cut through
the old city at a cost of 100000 gold.
The new thoroughfare is now a street of
fashionable shops. business offices and
hotels. Underground railways are about
to take the place of the electric tram
ways common in almost every street in
the metropolis, and plans are in prepare
ton for a tube railway from the Plaza
de Mayo to the suburb of Palermo. The
present waterworks Of the city are no
longer adequate. and new works cover
ing an area of nearly fifty acres are in
course of completion. An extension of the
drainage system is also in progress. Per-
haps we too often forget how much en-
ergy and enterprise the countries to the
south of us are capable of exhibiting.

LONDON, March -, 1913.
English suffragettes are today COM
planning of decided falling away of
American support in the field of financial
contribution as we'll as in the matter of
volunteer workers. But at the same time
it is recognized that the reason is be-
cause the growing activity of the cam
paign in America is making increasing
demands on both the money and the
time of American women, and that the
home interest Is naturally more vital
During the early days of the militant
movement the Women's Social and Po-
litical Union received monetary and per-
sonal assistance from numerous Ameri-
can women, most Of whom have with
drawn from the work here to take part
in the exciting campaigns which are be-
ing conducted in various American
states. The militants depended for their
American support largely on American
women staying in England either for
pleasure or study. This was because res
ident American women interested in the
cause have given their talents and SYM
pathfes to the organizations which use
only constitutional methods in their cam
paigns. American wives of Englishmen
in most cases also have attached them
selves to the constitutional organizations.
Some Have Jail Records.
A number of American women who
have associated themselves with the mill
tant movement have Jail records as long
as the most ardent of their English sis
ters. but the same enthusiasm which led
them TO smash windows and disturb the
peace of cabinet ministers has now been
enlisted at the suffrage battle front in the
United States.
This detection is resented by some of
the officials of the Women's Social and
Political Union, who declared that there
should be no national boundaries in the
cause and that. once having thrown in
their lot with the English militants, they
should stay in Tia forefront Of the battle

ROSETT MONEY

Perth Amboy Creditors Bar

Perth Amboy creditors of the de-
funct banks of Moritz and Max
Rosett, and probably those of Jersey
City and Youngstown, Ohio, will re-
cover little or nothing as the result
of decision of Justice Holt, sitting
in the United States Circuit Court,
yesterday. 1t was rendered in favor
of New York creditors, enabling
them to share a fund of S100, 900
given as bond to the State of New
York. The. New Jersey creditors and
those of Ohio had hoped to share
that fund
BY means of the decision the New
York creditors will realize about
seventy cents on the dollar. All that
remains for New Jersey and Ohio
creditors to recover, from is property
the Rosetts held in this city. That is
declared to have been heavily mort
gagged. In fact, so little can be real
ICED from the property, it is declared,
that some people connected with the
settlement Of the banking affairs are
now wondering where their pay is to
come from.
Doors OF the Rosett banks were
closed last May. Rosett had specu-
lated in stocks and with poor real
estate with the money OF depositors.
Joseph M. Conklin, state bank ex-
aminer of New Jersey, was appointed
receiver by Judge Holt.
Conklin argued that whatever divi-

offices and the branch Offices OF the
bank throughout New Jersey. United
States Referee Miller upheld him in
this contention. ..,..-.,
An association of the New York
depositors was formed, and an appeal
made to Justice Holt, through Law
yer Archibald Palmer, of No. $50
Broadway. Justice Holt heard the
briefs January 27, this year, and
handed down his decision yesterday
In his opinion Justice Holt said:
My conclusion is that the 100000
fund should be distributor among
the New York depositors and that a
dividend should be paid them, if
there are sufficient funds to do so.
This decision was reached under
Section IS of the bankrupt act that
demands a 100000 bond before a
person can do business as a banker
in New York State, Depositors will
be paid about seventy cents on the
dollar. In the opinion Of Attorney
Palmer this is. one of the most just

telephoned about the incident to her
husband in his haberdashery shop
at 301 State street He found him.
self unable to leave the store, be-
cause his son, William, was away.
Thus, the thief was allowed freedom
of the house shortly after 2 o'clock
until about o'clock in the after
noon when Mr.. Klein entered. He
was surprised to find most every
thing thrown topsy turyy through
out the house.
The thief passed by cut glass and
silyerware of value and took no loot
from the first floor. He stole what
he got from bed rooms on the sec
ond floor. It is evident that his chief
object was to secure money and val
liable jewelry. Fortunately for Mrs
Klein she carried all her valuable
iewelry and diamonds, valued at
about $1,000 with her.
Many believe that the thief is the
same or one of the gang who per-
petrated a series OF robberies at
night and who now begin to prey
on people who leave their homes uh-
protected during the daytime.
Members of the Klein family are
not so certain that the thief has
worked at the series OF robberies
here Of late. Jacob M. Klein, who
is a lawyer, and a son Of Max Klein,
stated this morning he could not
comprehend how thief would re-
turn in search OF money in face OF
the publicity given the recent cpl
demic aof -robberies. The lawyer con-
cludes the thief must have intelli-
gence enough to know that residents
are naturally cautious now not to
leave money and valuable jewelry
lying about.
Further evidence to show that 1t
was probably not the man who has
been working at night. was given by
LAWYER Klein, in his opinion that a
man with so many burglaries to his
account would not dare take the
chance that was taken yesterday in
entering his home. He said the
house was seldom left vacant during
the day.
The police were notified Of the
robbery shortly after 5 o'clock yes
terdav afternoon. Detective Ser
geants Huff and Long are at work
on the case.
