MRS. HARTMAN SECOND.

The Rev. DIR. John P. Peters of ST.
Michaers church, was Of the opin-
ion that it was impossible to Sc
influence.
This is what Mrs Clarence Burns,
president of the Little Mothers Aid
association, said:
The most influential woman in
America today is Jane Adams. Next
to her I would put Mrs. j. Borden
Hartman of New York. Miss Ad-
dams primarily for the everyday
good of life. Her mission Is to bring
help to the weak, food to the hungry,
hope to the hopeless, courage to the
fearing and the blessing of right liv-
ing to all people. Others strive to ac-
complish similar works of good, but
Jane Adams, through rare mingling
of personality and untiring energy,
succeeds where others fail. Unques-
tionably she is the woman with the
greatest influence for good in this
country, If not in the world.
MRS. ]. Borden Hartman of New
York a society woman who has found
time to see the suffering Of others and
has the will to aid them, is another
who commands wide influence along
humanitarian lines Her work in get
ting milk for the babies Of the poor
will not soon be forgotten by good
many thousand mothers Of the poor"

KNOWS WHAT SHE TALKS OF.


Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, one C.:
the leaders of suffrage in New York.
said:
Jane Adams is the most infiuen-
tial woman in America. She is the
most influential woman because she
knows exactly what she is talking
about"
Mrs. Charles Henry Israels, widely
known as a sociological expert, also
gave the tribute to Miss Adams. She
said:
Jane Adams is the most infiuen-
tial woman because of the feeling of
trust in her which Is universal among
all who have come in contact with
her. There is no living soul that does
not trust Jane Adams.
The reason for this trust is her
freedom from bias, her fearlessness of
evil, her courage for others, her SYM
pathy for all. There is no woman, not
alone in the United States but in the
world, who can boast the influence
which is Jane Adams"

JANE adams CHOICE.

To determine the question, The
Press asked a dozen well known New
York men and women to tell who,
in their opinion, was the most inf1u-
entail woman. and to state why.
The concensus of opinion was that
she is Jane Adams, the good sa-
marian of Hull house, in Chicago.
Without an instant's hesitation, three

the question was asked them, laid the

Some TwirIers Need Years of Coach

they can make good in the fast COM

Heine Zimmerman has nothing upon

WORTH OF FORD
MINES PROVEN BY DRILL
CFrom Thursdays Daily

Diamond drill exploration on the
Nondescript claim of the Ford Min
ing Company, in Mineral Point dis
trict. was concluded this week, and
speaking yesterday of the determin-
ations made George O. Ford, the
president, expressed himself as de-
cidedly well pleased.
Satisfactory copper, gold and sill
yer values were proven. and after
the drill reached a depth of 53S feet
it was cOnclusively proven that the
property had attractive conditions
prevailing beyond any question what
ever. For the present this mine
will not be further explored bv
shaft sinking. but it has been de
cided to concentrate future work on
the Hidden Treasure claim, where a
shaft of 200 feet in depth will be
unwatered, when further sinking
drifting and prosecuting will be
prosecuted. So far as surface con
ditions are to be considered, the
Nondescript was far less attractive
than several other claims of the
group, Mr.. Ford states. but to salts
fly himself of actual conditions the
drill was placed at work at that
point. with results that are surpris-
ing. He contemplates going ahead
in an energetic manner.

GAYNOR WILL BE
OPPOSED BL WHITMAN

NEW YORK, June 1o.-That
New York is likely to see one of the
hottest political fights in its history
next fall when the mayoralty race is
on, is becoming apparent even at
this early date.
AT present the two chief figures
on the horizon are Mayor Gaynor,
self-declared enemy of Tammany
Hall, even though he is a Democrat,
and District Attorney Whitman, a
Republican. Already many interest
ing angles are developing. Mayor
Gaynor had steadfastly defended the
police force as whole and stood
up for the head of the force, while
Whitman has made countrywide
name as a result of his exposure of
the police graft. "the system" and
his conviction OF the men higher up.
Never was the opportunity better
from present appearances for a par
tisan campaign Men in the Mayors
confidence, it is reported, say he has
several scores to settle with the Dis
trict Attorney and that he will be
glad to have heated political CAM
paign afford him the opportunity.
District Attorney Whitman's friends
expect that he will be nominated
for Mayor by the Republicans, the
Progressives and independent bodies.
They regard the prosecutor as the
surest vote getter in city politics at
present. 1t is known powerful
pressure had been brought upon
him to induce him to accept the
nomination, and even Tammany was
eager to indorSe him, a Republican,
for District Attorney, to keep him
out OF the Mayors race. OF course
the complexion of affairs may
change before the campaign is on in
full blast, but just at present there
seems to be little doubt that these |
two candidates will meet as oppon-
ents i'll a struggle that will be note
worthy even in New York poll
tics.
