WITH SHOP[|F TIERS

mcnt stores of this city are having
the hardest campaign against shop
lifters that they have ever had in
years. Hundreds of instances of
thcft have been discovered, but
very few arrests have been made.
Renewed efforts will be made by the
merchants the coming week to curb
the wave OF crime Extra store de-
tectives will be put on, and whole
sale arrests are expected
The merchants claim that the
shoplifters are not confirmed GRIM
tnals, but suffragettes who are doing
it, not for gain, but for the general
disruption of business.

Mrs. Pankhurst in Washin etOn

(By United Press Associations)
Washington, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst, England's militant
suffrage leader today invaded the Am
erican capital. But it was as "the-
atrical STAR" and not as a suffragette
that she conducted her invasion; and
her appearance on the stage was NOT
under the auspices of the national suf-
fragette party of the United States,
which does NOT believe in burning
houses, destroying mail and attack
ing males to get the ballot, although
they sympathize with the desire of the
militants to defeat England's reac-
tionaries who have prevented enfran-
chisement of women. Miss Alice Paul,
chairman of the national organization,
and other prominent American suf-
frage leaders, greeted the English
militant informally upon her arrival
here today.

SURVEYORS BEGIN
VALUATIONS

Washington, Nov. 21-The big task
of valuing the railroads of the United
States-their 250,000 miles of track
age, their rolling stock, their stations
and all their property-has actually
begun by the sending out of $50 sur
veying parties, consisting of 1906 men,
to make detailed railroad may of
the United States. Judge Charles E.
Prouty, for many years member of
the interstate commerce commission,
is in charge of the job.
"When this job is done,' said he,
eve will be able to tell the physical
facts about every mile of road, how
much has been made, how much of it is
fill, what kind of material has been
used, what kind of ballast, the bridges,
culverts, and all the physical facts"
The action of the interstate COM
merce commission in holding down
railroad rates to reasonable limits has
made railroad properties less attract

ors, and by the time the physical val
uation is completed there is no doubt
that public sentiment-in which Wall
