Hundreds Try to Escape.

overcome yesterday afternoon in Shaft

an explosive containing glycerine shortly
after a blast had been set OFF
-Four hundred men struggled 40 feet
underground TO gain entrance to the shaft
leading up TO the street. when the stupe-
flying Odor began to show its effect upon
some of the men. Sixteen men collapsed
as they stepped into the part Of the shaft
where the fumes came from, and the
sight Of their fellow workers falling IN
conscious proved too much for the other
laborers. who soon became panic-stricken.
The man who died WAS James Rodgers
negro. twenty-four years old
Engineers in charge of the work contend
that the bellows were at work before the
men entered the tunnel They said the
air in this tunnel had been cleared before
the men had been allowed to enter IT,
This was borne out by David Carroll, the
chief driller who said the bellows were
set In motion Immediately after the blast
was set off and that sufficient time had
been allowed for the tunnel 10 be free Of
the fumes Of the explosive. However, he
could not explain how the fumes were
present despite the precautions

Why Should She Demand
the Vote, When She
Can Train the
Voters.

"Womans best work is the making Of
voters" says Mrs. Caroline r. Corbin.
president Of the Illinois Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage The last
batch OF literature sent out by that or
ganization includes several articles b. its
head.
Mrs. Corbin holds that the child is al
most entirely the mothers during the
first five years OF its life. During that
time the father is only a spectator.
though often a deeply interested one, OF
its growth and development. The mother
is teaching the child its first lessons IN
obedience the sense Of right and wrong,
purity and self-discipline. The work OF
the father is Of the earth earthly; that Of
the mother concerns the laying OF the
foundations OF character. The making OF
the adult citizen is womans most impor-
tant and inalienable political work 1t is
the work done or neglected in the first
decade OF a chid's life, TO be followed
later by her ceaseless and vgllant care,
which determines 10 large extent
whether he will use the machinery OF
politics for the best good Of the state or
for his own selfish ACKNOWLEDGMENT You
may change the form OF government as
much as you please but the fact OF
woman's superiority over the formative
years OF = childs mind and character
never changes"
Having this superiority. Mrs. Corbin
cannot see why women want the vote.
Nature. she says. has fixed woman's
sphere unalterably by giving her work
that men cannot do.
The work Of woman in the home is
not wholly nor mainly composed Of bread
making. nor button-sewing, nor dishwasn-
ing though these are at the foundation

TAXI MEN FEAR RUIN
Counsel for Companies Argues
New Law Is ConfiSCatory.

Justice Seabury reserved decision yes
terday on the application Of fourteen
taxlcab companies and hotels TO make
permanent the temporary injunctons
which they swore out 20 enjoin the city
from enforcing the new taNcab ordi-
nance The argument OF former Senator
Edgar T. Bracket. for the plaintiffs. ana
that OF Terence Farley Assistant Cor
poration Counsel for the city. occupied
the entire day. and great volumes Of
briefs were submitted To the court
The burden Of the argument against the
ordinance was that IL was confscatory
and would put the taxicab companies out
OF business. and that the Board OF Alder
men was without legal authority 10 hN
rates. which counsel argued was state
function and within the jurisdiction OF
the Public Service Commission. as the
tdXicabs are common carriers.
The Assistant Corporation Counsel
quoted authorities in support Of his con-
tention that the act Of the Board OF
Aldermen was constitutional and that the
board acted within its power.
Senator Bracket said that II the taxi
cab companies were compelled TO live up
20 the new ordinance they would have 10
operate their cabs AT loss The Senator
spoke specifically FOR the Yellow TaNicab
Company. but his argument covered the
cases Of all the companies interested.
Discussing the section Of the law pro-
vidlng for the regulation Of meters, Mr..
Bracket said that his clients were more
than willing T. meet the law more than
half way He added. we have nothing
but the utmost respect for those who

The same hotel management contehded

MEETING A BABEL TOWER
Convention at Budapest Thus
Pictured by Dr.. Shaw.
INTERPRETERS KEPT BUSY
National Jealousy of Women of
Certain Countries Also
Caused Discord.

a picture Of the recent international
Woman Suffrage Convention al Budapest
as modern tower OF Babel was drawn
by DR.. Anna Howard Shaw on her first
visit to her office at No sos Fifth ave-
nue. yesterday Delegates from twenty
eight countries, including Iceland. Aus
tralia. South Africa. New Zealand. China
and Canada attended the convention
The members were allowed TO speak
either in English. German or French.
Interpreters were present all the time.
and every word had to be interpreted for
the benefit OF the foreign sisters. Mrs.
Frederick Nathan. of New York. served
as interpreter for the French for a good
part of the time
You can imagine the difficulty Of pre-
siding over such a convention" said DR..
Shaw 1t is hard enough to steer
convention in one language. when some
women are deaf and others have not voices
and others are whispering and only about
half the delegates can hear what Is said.
All kinds OF silly little misunderstand-
ings arise But when the people not only
cannot hear, but do not understand
Why. II took all day to get one little
motion passed
We had trouble. too, because Of the
difference In the significance of words
IN the different languages. An expression
that was quite innocent in English might
carry a meaning In German totally diff
ferent Then We would find that the
German woman was angry and Il would
take US all day to straighten that out.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Cat. president OF
the International, is, | believe. the only
woman in the world who could manage
such a convention. She has boundless
tact and patience. and the foreign women
admire her.
The difficulties were increased. too. by
the national Jealousy Of the women Of
certain countries. The Austrian and
Hungarian women. for instance would
have nothing o. do with each other
voted on opposite sides OF every measure.
These women had 10 personal animosity
10 feed. Il was simply a reflection Of the
feeling between the two governments
Asked about the militant situation IN
England-as who is not?-Dr Shaw said
she thought almost any country might
set the suffrage before England did. The
people were very hostile TO the miltants.
