The government played its trump

The government believes that without
funds the suffrage cause will languish
away.

slashed and the courts proper hid

Baltimore Nd, May 1. - A letter
from Cardinal Gibbons opposing wo
man suffrage was read at mas
meeting here under the auspices Of

Woman Suffrage. The cardinal sad
in part:
Equal rights do not imply that both
sexes should engage promiscuously In
the same pursuits, but rather that
each sex should discharge those du
ties which are adapted 10 it's plysita
constitution and are sanctioned by tie
canons of society.
when l deprecate female suffrage
l am pleading for the dignity of wo
man. 1 am contending for her homer
l am striving to perpe, uate those peer
less prerogatives inherent in her sex
those charms and graces which ex2l
womankind and make her tie orna
ment and the coveted companion Of
man.
1--WE must remember that though
woman does not personally vote she
exercises the right of suffrage by
proxy. So powerful is the influence
which sensible matron exerts over
her husband and sons that they viii
rarely fail to follow her counsel which
comes from inspired rather than la
bored reasoning"
The letter was read by Rev. P. G.

PERSONALITIES
IN TARIFF DEBATE
Al Efforts to Amend Bill Is
BJWIod Out
METAL SJHED. LED ATTACKED

Minority Leaders Declare Ore Was
Placed on Free List In Interest Of
Steel Corporation.
Washington, May 1.-Many lively
exchanges OF personalities occurred IN
the house during the tariff debate. A
one point Representative Hamilton, OF
Michigan, and Representative Hardy
of Texas, became so acrimonious as
they shook their fingers at one al,
that the house was convulsei WITH
laugh .er, and no one knew wat Wa
being sad.
All efforts to change the bill were
futile. The Democrats, with their over
whelming majority, bowled over all
amendments proposed by the Repub
Ncans and Progressives. The ways
and means committee, however, had
ready and carried a number of is
own amendments, all of minor char.
acter and designed to perfect the clas
sifications.
The iron and steel schedule was the
particular target of attack, and Repre-
sentative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, in
charge of that schedule for the ways
and means committee, was frequently
reminded from the Republican side
of the fact that the Be hlehem Steel
company was in his district.
Representative Mann, of Illinois, the
Republican leader, and oilers charg
ed that the duty on ferro manganese
was distinctly in the interest of the
United States Steel corporation, wi b
its numerous subsidiary plants, and
that the enhancement of the value o.
ferro manganese in this country, IN
der the proposed advance in rates,
should be sufficient to warrant the
Pennsylvania members indefinite con
tinuance in congress.
Mr.. Mann declared, however, that
while he thought the pending bill
would be very injurious to the coun-
try, he did not believe in "prolongins
the agony" unnecessarily and suggest
ed that as we are to have the passage
in the present form, the sooner the
better"
Representative Austin, of Tennessee,
Republican, said Charles M. Schwab
had succeeded in getting free Ion
ore after trying unsuccess u,ly to get
It from Republican ways and means
committees.

lucky, aroused Chairman Underwood
with q statement that convict labor
was employed in the steel mil OF
Alabama; that convicts were worked
in the mines, and that in some in.

them to the mines.

SUES FOR LOSS OF LEG
Mother Asks $4,000 For Injury t.
Child.

Scranton, Pa, May 1.-Three-year
old Mary Laston, who lost leg on q
culm bank near the Parker shaft here
in September last, started suit by her
mother in the United States district
court for 100000 damages from the
Delaware & Hudson company.
The child's mother was picking coal
on the dump, and the child fol. owed
her. A loaded mine car, drawn by a
mule, was run over the dump, and
when the car got to a slight grade
the driver, it is alleged, unhitched the
mule and let the car travel by it's own
impetus.
The car struck the child, knocked
her to the rails and her left leg was
taken off above the knee

Relatives of Britt0n Leave

The decomposed body of a man found
buried on Red mountain, near Oak Grove.
has not been positively identified as that
OF Thomas Britton, according to De-
tective w. NJ. Burge last night, who
has been working on the Britton dis
appearance since January I. Relatives of
Britton the Bessemer telegraph opera
tor left yesterday morning for the place
where the decomposed body had been dug
up, but up to a late hour last night
had not returned and it was not known
that the Identify had been established.
Coroner c. l.. Spain said last night that
as yet no one had notified him of any
body being found. He Said
NO one has notified me that body
has been found near Oak Grove, and
that the body is supposed to be that of
Thomas Britton, who disappeared on De-
eember 2S. The report of such a find
looks very fshy to me-.
The case of Thomas Britton is one of
the unsolved mysteries of jefferson coun-

ator for the Alabama Great Southern
railroad at Bessemer. was 80 years old

the murder of Britton and locked up in
the county jail. Three days later Rosa

1.-The anonymous card that was cir
culated some few days ago in all parts
of the county against the system was
a very -underhanded and dirty piece of
work. of course it was done by the
enemies of the system l have in my
own mind a very good idea of who
these are, too, but cannot mention
them because / have no direct proof.
Not only that but nearly every one
l talk to has formed an opinion of
who 1t was and what interests were
behind the circulation of these cards,
and there Is not a doubt but what
they hurt their cause much more than
they benefited 1t. As matter of fact,
the opposition to the system is from
selfish motives and nothing else. 1t
is good thing, we know it is good
thing and nearly everybody in the
county knows it is good thing. There
isn't chance for the system to fail"
