LAWS TO Be BETTER
WHEN WOMEN VOTE
Lecture on Suffrage at Public
Library by Miss Janet
Richards.

That through votes for women rene
dial legislation affecting child labor, the
white slave traffic. long hours for work
ing women and similar wrongs which she
said now exist in this country, would be
passed, was the belief expressed by Miss
Janet Richards in an address given at the
Public Library today under the auspices
of the Federation of Women's Clubs of
the District.
Miss Richards also declared that in
only thirteen states and the District of
Columbia was the mother recognized as
the legal parent of the child. 1T is be-
cause most men of this country are so
much better than our laws that we don t
often hear of the infamy of these laws, ="
declared Miss Richards. Some ours take
advantage of them, however, and it is only
then that we hear of these statutes" She
pointed to an old law which she said not
only allowed the husband to take all OF
the earnings of the wife, but also al
lowed him to dispose of his children by
will, after he had died. She said that
under this old law men had also suffered
Injustice in certain respects.

Urges Study of Question.

had studied the question of votes tor
women. But" said she. for goodness
sake study it, She said that the class
ON the fence was composed of women
well sposed, but also Wei clothed and
we'll housed.
She advocated certain restrictions on
the privilege of franchise, saying she
did not believe in unlimited Suffrage
Tor either man or woman. She said she
thought a plan similar to that followed
in England, where man must snow
he pays a. least 81 week for room,
should be 70. lowed. A high property
tax she opposed. saying It would dis
quality many educators and clergymen.

CHICAGO, December l3.-Two thousand

THE WARDELL COAL
 CASE APPEALED
O-O

James Wardell has taken an appeal from the decision of the commissioner of the general land office to the Secre- tary of the Interior in the matter of obtaining patent to coal lands in the Boring river fields. In the WardeI case the government charged that the applicant had failed to comply with the law, in that he had not opened up and improved a coal mine on the land.
 The matter came on for a hearing in the local land office and Register C. B. Walker and Receiver Frank A. Boyle decided in favor of the appli- cant, holding that he had complied with the law and was therefore enti- tied to patent The commissioner in reviewing the case reversed the local land office decision and ordered the en- try cancelled. The matter will now reach the court of last resort, by going directly to the Secretary of the In- terior.
