CARRY SUFFRAGE
FLAG 1000 MILES
Yellow Banner to Wave on
Canoe of Mr.. and Mrs.
Green.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Mr. and Mrs.
Waller Hayward Green will start
from the Clifton Boat Clubhouse,
Staten Island, Sunday morning. for
a 7.000-mile canoe trip. They will fly
the yellow silk suffrage flag which
was yesterday presented to them by
the Staten Island suffragists.
Mr.. Green's route will be up the
Hudson to Albany, through the Erie
canal to Buffalo, across Lake Erie to
Ashtabula by way of the Beaver
river canal, to Pittsburgh, then to
Cairo and up to ST. Louis, where he
will attend the deep waterways con-
vention. From Aurora, they will
paddle to New Orleans, round the
Gulf coast to Florida, through the
Everglades, up the Atlantic coast to
Chesapeake Bay and by way of the
Raritan canal to New York.
First. let me state that my wife
will paddle" said Mr.. Green. Every
body asks me that, and l hasten to
say that I wouldn't start on a 1000
mile trip with a wife who expected
to sit under a pink parasol. The
canoe is IS feet long, SO inches wide
and IL inches deep. 1t is made of
cedar planking, with spruce ribs and
d canvas cover, which makes it non
capSlZaDie ana pracJlcally nOn-S1nk-
able, which is fortunate, for 1t will
be pretty full.
I'VE shall often have to carry from
five to ten days provisions. fresh
meat, potatoes and vegetables for
the short hauls, and pork and beans
for the long ones. We may even have
green corn and watermelon II the
farmers house is far enough away
from his patch.
"Our cooking outfit is three kettles
and a frying pan. all fitting inside
each other. A Dutch oven Is too
heavy, but 1 have folding reflector
oven like the ones our colonial grand
mothers used to stand on the front
of the fireplace to bake the bread.
Our dishes are all tin. From New
Orleans we shall have to carry our
water in a tank. for salt water is
all right for boiling potatoes, but ii
makes pretty poor coffee.
Yes, | do the cooking" Mr.. Green
admitted. Camp cooking is different
from home cooking and takes a good
deal of practise, though after you've
caught the knack it's easy enough,
and takes very little time"

WOMEN BRAVE
DEATH ON RAILS
Hundreds Throw Bodies in
Front of Approaching Trains
to Aid Strikers.

MILAN, Aug. s.-Hundreds of
women, wives and sweethearts of
strikers, placing their bodies across
railroad tracks to prevent the pas
sage of trains was one of the sensa-
tional developments today in the
general strike.
Forty members of the cavalry, car
ibinieri and civil police are lying
wounded in hospitals.
The anarchists are in control of
many sections of the city, awaiting
behind great barricades the attempts
of the government troops to dlslodge
them.
Only today does news of the grave
developments leak to the outer world,
as the government has absolutely
muzzled the local press and has GEN.
sored all kilograms to foreign news
papers where possible.
The number of strikers is now $780,
900, and for four days trade here has
been paralyZed. The agitations start
ed out of refusal of half a cent
raise an hour In the metal workers
wages. The government now has sent
large bodies of troops from other
cities. This has angered the populace
and caused the disturbance to become
a political revolution.
Led by Malatesta, the notorious an
archist. the granite paving was torn
up and great barricades erected to
prevent the charges of cavalry. Tel
ephone wires were cut and groups of
men and women stoned express
trains.
In desperate cavalry charges hun
dreds fell. The number of wounded
and killed among the strikers Is
large but unascertained. Five hum
bred are under arrest.
In the provincial towns. from which
the police have been withdrawn, or
ganized bands of thieves have begun
Systematically to loot the fine resi-
dences whose tenants are away for
the summer
There Is a serious industrial crisis,
partly due to the war with Turkey,

mischieYous.

the bank creditors also have their
business.
The city of Newark is amongst the
creditors of the bankrupt company
with claims of $5176 for unpaid
water taxes and $3S5.45 due on I'M
paid personal tax.
That the Lansden company fought

AMERICAN SENTIMENT
AGAINST INTERVENTION
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.

There will be no armed intervention
in Mexico If it can be avoided.
There are no complications OF any
kind with any other country concern
ing the Mexican situation. No other
country has made any representa- ton
of any kind to this country concern
ing Intervention or any other action
on the part of the United States in
Mexico. So far as the administration
Is informed there is no sentiment in
the United States in favor of inter-
vention in Mexico except among a
few persons who have a personal and
selfish interest in desiring interven-
ton.
John Lind is on his way to Mexico
not to represent the United States
officially in any way. but as the per-
sonal representative and adviser of
the President. Whether President
Huerta declines to, receive him or not
win not affect his mission in any
way. dsABs-1Ns =

CAMDEN, N. j., Aug. s.-Petitions
for Ex-Governor Stokes for the
Republican gubernatorial nomina-

Camden yesterday under the direction

natures were obtained led the Stokes
supporters ito boast yesterday that
South Jersey would slip into the

Colonel Roosevelt last November, it
was said by Stokes boosters, signed
the petitions and gave promise of

ardent suffragist, was occupying a
small and rickety platform at Shep-

for the purpose of exhorting East New

to regard her propaganda with hos
