tended to disprove the charge OF
cowardice which was made against
him by the shipping men for backing
his ship away after he struck the
Luckenbach and sent her to the bot
tom of the Bay.
Captain Smith said: GAS soon as
the collision occurred the lndrakau-

heats were ordered lowered and every
effort was made to save as many llVes

were taken from floating wreckage
and others were saved by the use OF
life buoys. Our ship was sinking by
the head, but our one thought and
purpose was to save as many hives
as possible. The Indrakaula stodo

kaula proceeded to shallow water"
The captain continuing said:
"a heavy fog enshrouded the Bay.
The fog whistle was being sounded eV-
erv ten seconds. Far off in the gloom
it was bsing answered by another
steamer. The fog was so thick that
the man on the bridge could not see
beyond the steamers bow. Two look
outs on the box were straining their

invisible ship. They could not tell
definitely whether she was going

WOMAN SUFFRAGE FOES
HEARD BY COMMITTEE

Washington, Dec. 5.-Opponents OF
woman suffrage appeared before the
house rules committee to argue that
committee on woman suffrage
should not be created by the house
The delegation was headed by A. M
Dodge of New York, who was re-
elected president of the national as
sociation opposed to woman suffrage
The delegation marched to the
house office building in body. In
that respect they followed the plan
of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association, which had sent
delegation of nearly 1000 women
to present the suffragist side of the
argument to the rules committee.
Speakers for the opponents declared
working women were opposed to the
franchise because they would lose
more than they would gain. This
was in answer to the statement of the
suffragists that the working women
needed the franchise and were strong
ly in favor of it.
1t was contended that the suffrage
movement was sporadic in its nature
and the ballot was not wanted by as
many women as the suffragists de-
clare. 1t was denied that the suffra-
gist movement had grown to such
proportions as to demand a house
committee.
Suffragist sympathizers had been
warned by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
president of their association, to re
main away from the hearing room
and give their undivided attention to
the business of the convention to
which they had been sent as dele
gates.
Mrs. Arthur Dodge, the leader of
the antisuffrage movement, had
charge of presenting arguments. She
said the speakers represented "more
than 10000 American women, all over
the voting age" This, Mrs. Dodge
said, was the more remarkable "be-
cause these women are of class not
eager to organize"
Miss Alice Hill Chittenden of New
York declared the equal suffrage
question was not a federal one; that
it should be left to the states. Miss
Chittenden said that there were more
than 100000 women of voting age
in New York, the majority of them
foreign born, and that the antisuf-

Miss Pankhurst
Is Interviewed
(Ry United Press Associations)

tBY In1IPu f'TsSS ASSOcluI1OnSl
Paris, Dec. 6.-The question Of re-
vising the jury system is now agitat-
ing France. For some strange reason
it is next to impossible to obtain
conviction of a man charged with the
murder of another, or of woman
if "but | love her so" is used as a
defense.
| In short the freeing of men and
women when charged in the Paris
criminal courts with what the French
call "crimes passionels," has come to
be scandal. Certain legal lights
have suggested mixed juries, that is
juries composed of men and women
as remedy. The United Press asked
Miss Christabel Pankhurst, editor of
the Suffragette and daughter of Mrs
Emmeline Pankhurst, her opinion on
the subject. 1t follows:
81 am in favor of women in the
jury box. Women have a finer sense
of Justice than men and on jury
would have just as thorough an un-
derstanding of the responsibilities
resting upon them. And they would
be fearless, while to their intellectual
equality with their brothers on the
jury they would add the sixth sense
of intuition often so necessary in
court. Their viewpoint might be diff
ferent from mems, but men differ
among themselves; besides the mixed
jury seems to me to offer just what
justice needs, severity tempered with
indulgence.
"Women are better judges of WON.
en- than are men. Women alone un.
derstands her sex, its weaknesses anc
shortcomings. She would and coulC
administer the same justice to the ole
and unlovely women as to the young
and beautiful girl. Without womer
on juries, real justice is myth.
"Without mentioning other coun
tries, in England I am sorry to say
the men are more and more coming
to regard lightly the offense of mer
who ruin young girls. Male juries
dealing with these brutes, indulgently
give them light punishments. Womer
should be called to serve on such juries
as we'll as in all other cases where
what here in France are called "crime:
passionels" are the issue.
''In our courts property is held more
sacred than a woman's or a girls
honor. Mans view prevails. Will
them it is property first, life after
ward. Women put it the ether wa!
round. s.fs
Lastly, men consider it nuisance
to have to serve on jury. They ge
out of it if they can. A woman place.
duty on a higher, more sacred plane
;han that. If called to serve, serve
most of them would and uncomplain
ingly."

No "HOles in the Air"

Boston Advertiser: There are no
"holes in the air." says W. J. Humph-
reys, professor of meteorological phys
les in the United States weather bu-
reau, writing in the annual report of
the Smithsonian institution. Students
of mechanical flight will be interested.
The professor says he understands
by "holes in the air." various reputed
places in the atmosphere where the
conditions, in so far as flying is con-
cerned, resemble actual holes or cav
titles.
But he says that actual holes could
not exist, since the air surrounding
such places would run in and fill them
with a velocity of $50 miles an hour
at ordinary temperature, and the avi-
ator could never get into such hole
provided it existed.
There are nine types of atmospheric
conditions, which he groups under two
heads, the vertical and the horizontal
and after carefully weighing the dam
gers from such atmospheric condi-
tions he concluded:
All the above sources of danger,
whether near the surface like the
breakers, the torrents and the eddies,
or we'll up like the pillows and the
wind sheets, are less and less effective
as the speed of the aeroplane is in
creased. But this does not mean that
the swiftest machine necessarily is the
safest! there are numerous other fac
tors to be considered and the problem
of minimum danger or maximum safe
ty, if the aeronaut insists, can only be
solved by proper combination of
theory and practice, of such reason
ing and intelligent experimentation"
