Women and the Excise Law.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF Inc star:
am heartily In favor OF equal rights
for women, nevertheless was much sur
prised to find through The Star that some
OF the local ladies prominent in that
cause opposed the new excise law. OBJ
lection is made because there Is a dis
elimination against women. and. further,
the law is said to be one made by man. in
which women had no part. Evidently
the ladies who are peeved. are not aware
Of the fact that of those who pushed 40
persistently until the bill was passed two
thirds were women. It is compliment to
women and indicates the high moral plane
unon which the men who passed the bill
place them when they sought to limit so
far as possible the evils of the Ladies'
Entrance" to drinking houses In some
cities the white slave traffic and "booze
ioints' patronized by women have been
closely associated. Regardless of their
affiliations l am sure the majority of
washington ladies are in favor Of that
nrovision Of the new law which bars ali
women from saloons.

Weeks Market Features

NEW YORK, July 5.-Except for the
erratic movements early in the week
of the Hartman stocks. which were In
fluenced by presentation Of the disso-
luton plan and it's approval by the
court, the market was dull and fiat.
The volume of business was small and
was almost entirely in the hands of
professional traders.
Although developments during the
four days Of trading of the week found
little or no reflection in price move
ments, sentiment was cheerful and
operators on the long side of the mar
ket displayed more confidence. Their
attitude was based largely on the con-
viction that short selling had been
overdone.
Favorable crop news and the final
settlement of the Hartman merger
tangle we're influences on the construc
tive side. H.,
The outbreak of serious hostilities
among the Balkan nations and the conse-
quent depression of European markets
tended to becloud the situation once more
toward the close Of the week.
