Emblem in Regiments Face
and Is Beaten Up.

WINNIPEG, July Am overpatri-
otto American started a small sized
riot on Main Street here to-day by
waving an American flag in the face
Of the Tenth Canadian Regiment as
they were returning home from camp.
In the fight that followed, soldiers and
civilians alike participated.
The American was roughly handled
and the flag tossed into the street and
trampled on by the marching soldiers.
Before the police could interfere sew
eral who took part in the fight re-
ceiYed black eyes and cuts on the
face.
The incident happened when the
streets were crowded with friends of
the returning soldiers. The young
American, who is employed in a local
restaurant, as he waved the flag at
the soldiers shouted, "Hurrah for the
American Eagle!"
Colonel ]. B. Mitchell, in command
of the regiment, ordered one of his
men to quiet the American and tell
him to put the flag down. AS the SOL
dier sprang forward to obey. several
civilians closed in on the American
and a fight commenced, which finally
was quelled by the police.
No arrests. were made. In all prob
ability the matter will be taken up
with the American Consul General.

Characterizing Senator w. W.
Stark as a man of small mental cal
iber, Mrs. Mary /. McLendon. presi-
dent of the Georgia Woman's Suf-
frage Association, said Friday the
suffragists would renew the fight for
the use of the Senate chamber dur
ing their State convention.
When Senator Stark ascertained
the suffragists intended to enlighten
the Senators on the question of votes
for women, and then moved the
tabling of a resolution to grant them
the use Of the Senate chamber on
the nights Of July and 10, he pro-
volNed the ire of Mrs. McLendon.
Mrs. McLendon declared the suf-
fragists of Atlanta and Georgia were
indignant. She believed that com

respective of the Senator'S views on

She Calls Condition "Pitiful."
TT is pitiful that women have to
beg the men for such things as that"
she said.
During a brief recess Mrs. McLen-
. don asked Senator Stark why he
opposed granting the use of the Sen
ate chamber to the suffragists, and
he replied it was because the Saviour
did not call a woman as one of His
disciples.
THE answer seemed so absurd, so
little to the point" she asserted.

that the women of Georgia helped
to build that State House, and that
we had as much right there as any
body else. Governor Brown let four

we are going to renew the fight
for the use of the Senate chamber"
Mrs. McLendon continued
Mr. John Y. Smith said he would
reopen the question for us next Mon
day. Mr.. Blackburn said he would,
too, Mr.. Blackburn is not in favor
of woman suffrage, but his personal
belief has nothing to do with this
question. No, l don't think we'll get
the use Of the Senate chamber, but
we'll show the smallness of the av-
erage Georgia legislator. Just be-
cause they are elected by the men
people they try to keep the women
down. They are afraid the women
might rise against them, so they keep
their heels on the women's necks."
Mrs. J. K. Ottley, a suffragist SYM
pathizer, said she had no opinion re-
garding Senator Stark or the rea-
sons he advanced for opposing suf-
frage, but she was surprised at the
Senate's refusal to allow the women
to meet there.
Mrs. OttIey Is Surprised.
Il should think they would be very
glad to extend the use of the Senate
chamber to any association which
was neither incendiary nor objec-
tionable" she said, and, judging by
the Roadway made in other States,
the suffragist associations are neither
incendiary nor Objectionable.
Il am surprised that they should
have denied the use of the Senate
chamber to any group of respectable
Georgia women seeking something
they believed to be for the States
good"
Mrs. Ottley said she believed wom-
ans suffrage would come, but she
would probably never make an eff
fort to bring it.

You probably read a recent report

nearly half Of the operators in the

This is only an isolated case that
got into the newspapers by mistake
or because the Gripping of the SER
vice was so noticeable to the people
and the press at Evanston.
The operator problem is getting al
most too big to handle. The work of
operating switchboards, especially in
the large exchanges, is far from
pleasant, and the requirements are
very strict, while the compensation
is not such as to lead the young
ladies to forgo the advantages of
matrimony. If operators could be
