SUFFRAGISTS Talk
FOR TARIFF BILL
Say Women Give 90 Per Cent.
of $4,000, 900, 900 Spent
in Shopping.

WASHINGTON. April 26.-Suffra-
gists for the second time in a week
again stormed the Capitol to argue
why women should have the ballot
and be admitted to suffrage on the
some plane as men through the adop-
ton of constitutional amendment.
In approaching the Senate committee
the suffragists had brought along
some of their heaviest artillery.
Chief among those present to plead
for universal suffrage was Mrs. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the Ma
tional American Woman's Suffrage
Association. She was ably seconded
by Miss Helen Narrick Boswell, presi-
dent of the Womans National Re-
publican Associations Mrs. Harvey
w. Wiley, wife of the former pure
food advocate; Mrs. William Kent,
wife of the representative from Cali
fornia, and several others.
Two senators, Shafroth, of Colo
RADIO, and Brady, of Idaho, and the
wives of two members of the upper
House of Congress also We're ready
to advance arguments for the
cause" The women were Mrs. Rob-
ert M. LaFollette and Mrs. Suther-
land, of Utah. Representative Bryan,
of Washington State, also was among
the pleaders.
Mrs. LaFollette argued that women
were as vitality interested in tariff
legislation as the men, and declared
that every important piece of legis-
lation before Congress in the last
twenty-five years had affected
women equally.
IF the tariff in any way affects
the price we pay for what we eat
and wear; if the trusts and combina-
tions have anything to do with the
high cost of living, women should
understand about it." said Mrs. La
Toilette. IF the prices of the great
staples like beef. sugar, oil, cotton,
woolens are fixed by monopoly; If the
tariff affects the cost of the children's
food and clothes, the only radical
way to right the wrong is through
national legislation.
women do the buying. Ninety per
cent. of ten billion dollars paid out
annually In the United States for
food, clothing, shelter is spent by
women" Mrs. LaFollette said she
was not one of those who believed
that equal suffrage would bring about
any immediate radical changes. and
declared that the real issue in the
suffrage struggle was whether it was
in the interest of the home and of
society, which she maintained, it was.

Honeeker had been ill at his home
for nearly five months. At times. ac-
cording to his physician, he showed
signs of dementia, which had, 1t was
thought. been caused by excitement
attending a three-alarm fire opposite
his home. at 1913 Frankfort street,
three months ago. Fearing that his
home. which had taken him years to
build. was burning he tried to rush
into the house after leaving it. Three
tremen had all they could do to re-
strain him, so violent did he become.
According to Herman Heinrich, a
saloon-keeper at Avenue L and Ham

place and declared he was going to
drown himself in the river The men
about the place tried to cheer him up.

doorstep until the crowd began to

he arose and walked away He was
not missed until the noise in the
stable was heard. Joseph Erhard. an
employee, entered the stable and
found the dead body.
The news of her husbands death
caused Mrs. Honecker, who has been
suffering from heart trouble, to have

felt by her children, two daughters

ANTI-STRTKE- BREAKER LAW
INTERESTING TRAINMEN

Trainmen are watching with in
terest the effortsto have passed in the
Pennsylvania State Assembly a bill
which is designed to prevent the en-
ployment of breakers by rail-
roads passing through that State.
The bill provides that no person
may be employed as conductor,
brakeman, engineer or firemen upon
any railroad in Pennsylvania unless
he has been similarly employed for
eighteen months, and on the same
railroad for three months previously
to his appointment. 1t was reported
favorablY this week by the chairman
of the railroad committee.
The railroads are opposing the
measure on the ground that it would
put them and the people absolutely
at the mercy of labor leaders, re-
sponsible to no one but their own
organizations.

10000 SEEK POST
ON RAILWAY BOARD
Interstate Commerce Connis-
sion Preparing for Work of
Physical Valuation.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission, pre-
pairing for the work of making a ply
steal valuation of railroads, in ac-
eordance with the provisions of a re-
cent act of Congress. is about to an
nounce the personnel of an advisory
board of five engineers which will as
sist the commission in formulating
plans for the work. This board will
have direct charge of the valuation
work in various sections of the
country.
approximately ten thousand appli-
cations for positions in the physical
valuation service of the commission
have been received. 1t is expected
that eventually several hundred EN-
ployees will be engaged upon the
work, but 1t is announced by the COM
mission that, with the exception Of
the five members of the advisory
board of engineers, and of perhaps a.
like number of administrative heads
of other departments of the work, ell
| employees will be secured through the
Civil Service Commission.
1t was suggested originally by the
commission that many Of the engi-
neers and other experts should be ex-
cepted expressly by order of the
President from the operation of the
civil service law. 1t is understood
that this proposition was presented
to- President Wilson, and that he
held that none of the employees, ex-
cept those indicated, should be ex-
teepted by executive order.
| The advisory board will convene
here soon after May 1, and in CO.
operation with the commission work
out the engineering details of the
proposed valuation. The direction OF
the valuation work on lines approved
by the commission will be delegated
to Commissioner Prouty A general
advisory board of three men, regard
ed by the commission as especially
competent and fully equipped to
handle the large questions presented,
will be created by the commission
to work with the commission and
the engineering board.
Tentative valuations reached By
the commission must be submitted
to the carriers interested. to the de-
partment of Justice and to the gov
ernors of States In which the prop
critics are located. Protests against
the valuations must be filed With;
thirty days, and IL no protest be filed
the valuation becomes final.
1t is regarded as scarcely likely
that the work of validating physi
| cally the railroads of the United
States can be completed under fiv'
| years.
