MILITANT SUFFRAGETTES
ALONE LOSING GROUND
Societies Without Records of Vio-
lence Continue to Gain in
Membership.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star
LONDON, July l., 1913.
Though the militant suffragist move
ment seems for the time being on the ebb,
it does not follow that those societies that
are carrying on peaceful propaganda work
in favor of votes for women are also los
ing ground. The reverse Is the case. The
'Votes for Women Fellowship founded
by Mr.. and Mrs. Pethick Lawrence when
they seeded from the Women's Social
and Political Union, is, for instance, rap
idly gaining influence and strength. New
members are pouring in at the rate Of
over hundred week. The Rance Of
Sarawak. with others, has just joined
the ranks of the fellowship, and In one
)day no fewer than fifty fellows" were
enrolled.
The fellowship, which from the first has
carried on its propaganda on constitu-
tional lines, has. of course, no embarrass-
ing record of militancy behind ii, and al
though for long time it was very little
in evidence, 1t is now one of the strongest
of the many woman suffrage societies,
and is taking a very active part In the
movement for women's enfranchisement.
Preparations are now being made for q
big autumn campaign, and a conference is
to be held shortly to discuss plans for the
extension and development of the work.
New offices are to be taken In the autumn
also, and it certainly looks as IL the
eclipse Of militancy is forming the oppor-
tunity for the Pethick Lawrence brand of
non-militancy to assert itself.

Poultry Must Not Be Neglected in
Summer.

Now is a time when chickens, like
human beings, do not like to work. They
want a rest from their spring labors.
And they take rest. They lay of in
production, and gather in out Of the hot
summer sun. They must have shade
And they must have care. Don't think
because they have cut down their egg
production that they do not need at
tentiOn, that time and labor and money
are wasted. One cannot figure that only
in the laying months must everything be
given and everything done for Biddy. If
you are guided by that idea, the yearly
accounts will not balance well Re-
member winter Is coming, and in winter
eggs are worth and 6 cents apiece
And the winter is not too far to look
ahead. Mating time should be kept also
in mind. Therefore keep your eye on

Police Reserves Called Out to Handle
Crowd Attracted by Sight

BOSTON, July ga COW baked in
front of the city hall yesterday, and the
machinery of the government as well as
street traffic stood stock-still while sew
eral thousand citizens offered advice as
to how to make the animal move.
The cow was being driven from the

Police reserves who were hurried out
to break the jam of people tried to move
the cow. They pulled and tugged at a
halter about its horns, and gave up the
job.
A man who said he was from the
country" tried cajolery. He said Come,
moolie: come" Then he too, yanked at
the rope. A well dressed woman objected
to this Cruelty; young man laughed
at her objections; the woman called on
an officer to have him arrested, and the
young man asked for the wOman's arrest
because her hat pins were too long.
Meanwhile city hall employees aban-
doned business and returned the stare OF
the COW. Mayor Fitzgerald appeared at
a window and suggested: Make her
think you want her to stay and then
she'll move It failed.
Finally an electric ambulance was sum-
moned, and the COW, still staring va

WORKS SAYS PRESIDENT
EXCEEDS HIS AUTHORITY
Senator From California, in At
tacking Tariff Bill, DepIores
Executive influence.

Senator Works, attacking the tariff
bill today, charged that President Will
son exceeded his constitutional au-
thority by aiding in framing the bill
and using his powerful influence to
have 1t passed in the form approved by
him and known to have his approval"
The senator also assaulted the demo-
cratic caucus which, he declared. forced
senator to "forego his own con-
scientious convictions and judgments
and vote with his party or come into
disfavor and be branded as an apostate
and betrayer of his party"
Prepared by Few Men.
The President" said Senator Works,
commits himself beyond recall to a
bill not yet introduced, and without
having heard the presentation Of their
views by the legislative representa-
tives Of the states where vital interests
and important industries are to be at
fected by 1t. Thus We have a Dill
agreed upon and marked for hnal
passage, upon consideration only by
few men Of the party. concurred In by
the President acting with representa-
tives Of this one party.
This comes in part from the vicious
doctrine that the President is the lead
err of his party instead of, or as we'll as,
the President of the whole people. The
two are utterly inconsistent when 1t
comes to the matter of making laws
May Fall in Unworthy Hands.
Senator Works did not doubt that the
President acted from the purest motives,
but feared that this great power to mold
legislation might fall into unworthy or
reasonable hands and that revolution
may follow and this beneficent govern
ment of ours be disrupted
1.-THE time may come" he said, when
this great power in the executive govern
ment to rule and control Congress-
power not given by law. and wholly IL
legitimate, but established by the silent
the unauthorized acquiescence of the peo-
pie and their lawful representatives-may
bring the institutions of this rep1blic
into deadly peril and possibly overthrow
EFT makes the situation only more
alarming that one of such high ideals
and patriotic purposes should do any
thing that can reasonably be construed to
be usurpation of power or an infringe
ment of the Constitution that may some
time be appealed to as a precedent by
one less conscientious and patriotic

Senator Weeks Points to
Foreign-Made Articles
Used About the Senate

| In an effort to prove that tariff reduc-
tons by the new democratic bill bear no
relation to actual conditions of compe-
tition, Senator John w. Weeks of Massa-
chusetts today read to senator's an in
ventory of the foreign foods, supplies
and furniture they were using about the
Senate chamber.
1.-THE inkwells," he said were made In
Austria. The bone letter openers in
France, the hairbrushes in England or
Japan. The Senate stationery room. .
said Senator Weeks, "sold penknives and
pens made in England; German raZors
were used to shave senators in the Sem
ate barber shops, and souvenir post
cards with pictures of Washington's pub
lie buildings were sold in the Capitol
| with the imprint Of German manufac-
turers upon them"
MANY of the mineral waters in the
cloakroom are imported from Europe.
said Senator Weeks, the French vichy
property of the French republic. We
are large producers Of matches in this
country, and yet if a senator wishes to
light cigar in the cloakroom he finds
q safety match manufactured in Sweden.
Imported Dishes in Restaurant.
very large number of dishes served
in the Senate restaurant are prepared
from imported articles, while the same
articles are produced in large quantities
in the United States.
Senator Weeks attacked the democratic
bill on the ground that it would not
reduce the cost Of living, curb the power
of the trusts. nor stimulate healthy
competition. Reduction in prices he
said, would be followed by an equal
reduction in workingmen's incomes"
Secretary Redfield's announcement
that any close of American factories
would be investigated by the govern
ment Senator Weeks attacked as a sug-
gestion, intended to as far as possible
coerce American manufacturers to con-
tinue running their plants without re-
duction of wages and without regard to
net results obtained.

Like many other great men, Pas
teur was absent-minded. Eating
some cherries at dinner party to
which he was invited, he was observ-
ed to dip each cherry in glass of
water and carefully wipe it before
placing it in his mouth. On his neigh
boris uttering some comment on this
precaution, Pasteur held forth at con-
siderable length as to the dangerous
microbes with which cherries are in
variably covered When he had fin
ished speaking he picked up the glass
he had washed the fruit in and drank
the contents microbes and all.
