Chief OF POLICE
FRAME.UP VICTIM
These Are Charges Contained
in a Statement Made by
Miss May Stevens.
ANTS MAKE IT PUBLIC
That Witnesses Were Coached How ia
Testify Against Maj. Sylves-
ter Is Alleged.

That the suffragists tried to frame
tendent of the Washington police. be-
fore the Senate committee investigating
the alleged disorder during the suffra-
gst parade here on March 8. and that
| they tried to have him dismissed by such
means, was charged by Miss May Ste
vens, a woman who has lived In Mis-
souri, and Texas, but is now on visit
! in Washington, in statement issued
yesterday from the Washington head
quarters of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
While the Senate committee was hear
ing witnesses in the case she declared,
she volunteered to serve at suffrage
headquarters here. her mind being open
and unbiased on the suffrage question.
While at the headquarters, she said.
suffragist leaders coached all their wit
nesses before they went on the witness
stand, and as a result of the methods
followed she left the headquarters and
was thoroughly Disguised with the suf-
fragette tactics.
81 heard one of the women talk to
several who were to testify" she said.
IF any statement did not fit in with her
purposes, witnesses were imperatively
told they should not SAY that. Many
nesses just what they should say. Those
who were unwilling to obey were not al
lowed to go before the committee. Their
names were withheld from the commit
tee.
Il have been in several suffrage States.
II hoped to find among the Washington suf-
fragists many broader and more dignified
women. But l was again disappointed.
They seem about the same everywhere to
me- I was in Colorado last year during a
primary election campaign. Men CAPT.
talized the women vote just as they do
the mems everywhere, and did not show
the voting women the respect they did
others Everywhere I have been men act
coarsely toward women voters. i should
resent IT,
Suffrage Is Failure.
so far as my observation goes, wom-
an suffrage is a shameful failure. Most
woman suffragists l have met belong to
extreme types, who do not appeal to me
in any way. Msst of them have been ut
ter failures in life. and with them suffrag e
seems to have become mere fad. Femi-
nine dignity is the same today that IL was
a thousand years ago, and will be the
same thousand years hence. And that
dignity cannot be maintained by woman
in politics The good dignified women
who may now think woman suffrage a
good thing will probably realize their mis-
take before ii is too late"
Miss Stevens did not designate by name
the suffrage worker who she stated told
witnesses what they should say or should
not say before the Senate committee. So
far as is known, Miss Stevens is the only
person who has accused the suffragists Of
planning ''frame-up."
At the headquarters of the National
Paul said that witnesses had not been inl-
properly instructed. Miss Stevens was
formerly employed at suffrage headquar-
tiers as a stenographer Miss Paul said.

REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
SanatorIum Where tuberculosis May
Be Cured ls Worth Much to
Any State or City.

Or. Fl. L. Barnes, superintendent OF
the Rhode Island State Sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some in
teresting studies of patients dIscharg.
ed as apparently cured from that in
stitution that a sanatorium is a sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of 10 ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to s102, 1852,
and those Of 211 cases in 1912 to s112,-
02l. BY applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients Of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912, DR.
Barnes concludes that their income In
these two years was S551.000. This
sum is more than three times the cost
OF maintenance of the sanatorium in
Guiding interest at 4 per cent. on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation OF far ad.
vanced cases would be still better in
vestments."

A sentence in counsel's opening

Keeper of Secrets of Kings.

Lord Knollys, who is retiring, after
having been private secretary to King
George and the late King Edward,
has received many tempting offers to
write his autobiography, but, needless
to say, has steadfastly resisted them
all. An enterprising publisher, from
the United States, one ran him down
during his vacation, and placed a
blank check before him, inviting him
to fill 1t in for any sum he liked to
name in return for a book of no fewer
than so, 0 words.
MY terms would be five million dol
lars" Lord Knollys remarked, quietly.
The publisher gasped. Good gra.
cious, sir, are you serious?" he asked,
Quite" Lord Knollys rejoined, and
then, with one of his merry wrinkles
Of his eyes, he said:
Would it not be worth a good deal
more to you If l had to say frankly
all / know"
The publisher realized the force OF
the argument, and was bound to ad-
nit hat 1t would be a hopeless task
to induce an indlscretion on the part
of the veteran courtier.

CLIMATE OF
WESTERN CANADA"
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CAN.
ADA'S IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February 2, 1913, pub
lished in a Peoples Voice" column in
a Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions in Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions, etc.,
says: I'VE have had fine weather un-
til New Years, when some snow fell
and it was cold for a few days, but
during the past few days we have
lovely weather again" The writer,
who lives near Davidson, Sask., says
they got from so to 35 bushels Of wheat
per acre, 60 bushels of oats and about
20 bushels of fax. All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land
a be bought at reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd Of February
there were eighty-four and a quarter
hours Of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1912, when the m~eteorolog-
ical department registered 120 hours
for the 90 days.
February was exceptionally fine all
through, but 1912 went one better, and
was a glorious month. However, TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting in heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures in
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred on Tuesday morning, when
the thermometer registered 23,5 below,
and the coolest Wednesday was II be-
low. During the last fortnight OF
February 9 and 81 hours of bright sur
shine spread its glorious rays over

total OF about ten hours is something

1t is n of the healthful signs of
present day building that the interior
arrangement of a house is given more
attention and is considered more i'm
portant than is its exterior appear
ance. Home builders have outgrown
that period when matters of design
where regulated by what the neigh
bors would think.
A generation ago every house had to
have its front and back parlor; the
former preferably garnished with a
round tower bay window arrangement
on the corner and the exterior elab-
orately supplied with fancy orna-
ments, if the building was to command
any distinction at all in the commun-
ity; and all of this vas to the general
detriment Of the home interior.
A modern house, on the other hand,
is designed to meet the needs of the
family life, providing rooms that are
well lighted, well ventilated, of proper
size and so arranged that the work
Of house keeping may be reduced to
it's lowest terms.
The architect draws his floor plans
and let's the exterior appearance large
ly take care of itself. Yet, in splte Of
this, the modern houses planned in
this way are far more attractive in
their general exterior appearance than
were the pretentious, over-ornamented
dwellings of old.
Simplicity and directness are the
two first requirements for successful
design-elements which come strongly
into play in this present-day idea OF
home planning.
In the accompanying design the
most important consideration was to
have the first floor SO planned that
an impression Of spaciousness be
gained upon entering the front door;
at the same time 1t was desired that
the dining room and kitchen be sep
arated from the rest of the house at
times, when a certain privacy there
