Growing Weak From Lack Of
NourIshment.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
LONDON, April THE early re-
lease of Mrs. Emmeline Panl1hurst,
sentenced to three years imprison-
ment, was expected by her friends,
when Home Secretary Reginald Nc
kenna today asked for a report on
her condition from the Holloway Jail
physicians. Rumors said that the
militant leader is in state of col
lapse from lack of nourishment and
that further confinement without food
would permanently endanger her
health. 1t is said that Mrs. Pankhurst
has touched no food since Justice
Lush passed sentence upon her, and
attempts to feed her have been unsuc-
cessful. Prison doctors have tried to
make her eat, but 80 far as known the
drastic forcible feeding that injured

tried on Mrs. Pankhurst.

lion at all from rowdies, in Hyde
Park where two women tried for
more than an hour to address the
public from cart, but $1,000 men
and boys made it impossible. The
mliitants were showered with or
anges, bananas and dirt and they de-
clared today that the police egged on
'heir tormentors. rather than pre-
served the peace.

EMPLOYERS HOWL
ABOUT BUSINESS
Raise Protest That Higher WAGES
Would Give other States More
OF Their Profits.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. I
CHICAGO, April 7.-Spokesmen for
th1rty-eight big employers of girl la
Dor, who met the Illinois senate white
slave investigators in conference to-
day, warned the senators that the
criticism of department store heads
and factory heads for paying low
wages to girls and women might have
disastrous effects upon the business
and commercial interests in Illinois.
The session was held behind closed
doors in spite Of protests Nearly all
the employers who were quizzed about
wages at other sessions, appeared at
the conference.
The employers frankly told the SEN
ators they considered sentiment
aroused by the investigation was
inimical, not only to their business,
but to that of the entire country. 1t
was the forerunner, they said, OF agi-
tation for minimum wage and other
legislation that would prove ruinous
to Illinois business interests and put
employers at the mercy of competitors
in other states.
James Simpson, head of the Mar
shall Field Company; E. ]. Lehman
of The Fair store, and Joseph Basch
CT Siegel Cooper and Company, were
srokesmen for the employers.
They asked that the senators permit
employers to agree to a voluntary
wage increase, in lieu Of legislative
enactment on the subject of minimum
wages. They suggested that a sep
crate class be created for apprentices
in the trades but that all other girls
and women be paid in accordance with
the terms of the employers agree

FIRST WOMAN TO

Mile. Helene Dutrleu Aonored by
France Because Of Her
Aviation skill.

PARIS, April THE decoration
conferred on Mile. Helene Dutreu
who was the first woman aviator to
wear the ribbon of the Legion of Hon
or, came as q surprise to no one who
knew her wonderful record In ayia-
ton. OF all the women who took to
flying, she is the only one who has
kept pace with the men flyers and has
in many instances surpassed them in
their achievements. Her first flight
was in a Santos Dumont "Demoiselle :
Then she practiced for a time on a
Sommer biplane at Souzy, and the next
heard of her, she was making sensa-
tional flights at Odessa, where she al.
most lost her life in nasty fall.
Recovering, Mile. Dutrieu returned
to France and made several flights on
a farman biplane. Her best perform
ance was on the last day of the year
1910, when she won the Coupe Femina
That flight was also contest of en-.
durance between the woman in air
and the men time-keepers on the
SiouHu. IL was pltterly colu, ana
Mile Dutrieu staid up three long
hours, to the discontinue of the Of
ficials who thought the flight would
last about five minutes.
Later Mile. Dutrieu made remark
able flights in Spain, Belgium and Hol-
land and in Italy she captured the cup
offered by King Victor Emanuel She
then made a tour of America, where
she gave some daring exhibitions and
returned to France where she again
took the Coupe Femina.

that financial markets rather inclineo
to rest observantly on their oars UNI

ly nothing definite was heard from
the channels of trade today. This
left general impressions largely de-
pendent on the titude taken, in ad.

the steel and textile trades especially.
That attitude has hardly been dis
quieting even when coupled with pre-

point of view, the New York stock
