REPORT OF JEALOUSY
CAUSES GREAT REGRET

Able members of Congress have openly
declared themselves interested in the
movement OF the female of the Species"
and these gentlemen, in whose. careers
various other political organizations have
run the gamut of favor and disfavor at
the end OF which is death, are grieved
that already, among themselves, the wom-

earmarks of petty though insidious jeal-

This fact was exemplfied last week in
Washington when the report, sensational
in the extreme, circulated with the rapid

KEL|HER TELLS OF
LOOT|NG BANK

Boston, January 51.-Wiliam J. Keliher,
commonly known as big Bin Keliher,
has told former Governor Bates, receiver
for the National City bank of Cambridge
what he Knows about the looting OF that
institution. The receiver made this an
nouncement today. but would not reveal
what had been told him.
George w. Coleman, bank bookkeeper.
and Keliher are serving prison sentences;
the former for the larceny of $350,00o and
the latter for aiding the crime. Keliher
and Martin J. Walsh got most of the
money by getting the bookkeeper into
fake faro. games in New York. Walsh is
said to have since died.
Published versions of the Keliher state
ment, which Mr. Bates refuses to con-
firm or deny, say the prisoner has named
many prominent New York and Boston
men as among his victims and Others
who received portions of the loot. Keliher
it is said. told the receiver where some
of the banks money went and Mr.. Bates
is preparing to institute civil proceedings
The story quotes the confidence mar
as describing how he swindled other Bos-
ton men in the faro. The victims in
cluded a prominent politician, who
dropped $4,000; a banker, who lost siz0,-
goo: a business man, bankers brother
and judge, each. of who contributed
| $1,000.

THE MRS. BURLESON AND
MRS. GARRARD INCIDENT

For while, however, the snarl APP
peared serious. Mrs. Burleson, whose
husband is a lieutenant. was clnsen
grand marshal of the suffrage parade
Mrs Garrard, whose husband is a colo
rel, telephoned Mrs. Burleson. 1t was pub
lished in Washington. suggesting tnat
she yield the position of grand marshal
No intimation was whispered that Mr..
Garrard desired the honor herself, or THAI
she was jealous of the favor showered
upon Mrs. Burleson. 1t was simply pub
lished that she had made the suggestion.
Mrs. Burleson, naturally enough, was
disturbed. So according to the report
she wrote to Mrs. Garrard. She made
1t plain that IL Mrs Garrard had mauo
the suggestion as the wife of the post
commandant, she would take the tip and
quietly yield the honor. But that IL Mrs.
Garrard was acting in the capacity of a
private character she would not yield.
Mrs. Garrard, thereupon, replied that
she had acted in her private capacity
and as woman whose experience in the
army had been longer and more diverse
in nature than that of Mrs. Burleson.
And thus, it was said the incident was
closed, and the denial then followed to
tho effect that Mrs. Burleson was not un

BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Votes for Women with all the deel
unwhispered meaning of that phrase
Is fast becoming a national Issue, ma
tional in respect to the fact that at Wash
ington permanent suffragette congress.
sional headquarters will be established
As a result. the interest felt at Wash
ington today is destined to be extended
all over the United States-to such an
extent, in fact, that the militant pha-
lanxes in London will no longer monopol-
ize the calcium of the globe.
E The establishment of permanent head
quarters is due to the desire of the suf.
fragettes first, to keep an eye on the
maneuvers of Congress- and secondly
to be in position to furnish information
to members of Congress whenever infor'
nation is found to be necessary.
The preparation for the inaugural par
ade, March 3, in which the valiant CO
horts of General Rosalie Jones will b'
engaged, has aroused such remarkable
enthusiasm among those who are inter
ested from q personal standpoint, tina
the threatened split in the ranks will no
be developed-that is, in the present OF
immediate future
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-01

A gain of approximately 1S per cent
was made in the postal receipts or the
local postoffice during the month OF
January over the same month in i9l2
according to the monthly report made
public yesterday. According to Postmas-
ter Aldrich. this ratio of increase Will
be kept up throughout the year. The
report follows:
Postal receipts for January. 1913,
amounted TO s4s,751.1s; in January, 1912,
they were sSe.575.5s. thus showing an
increase for this year of s6,175-5s, or
approximately Is per cent.
A remarkable feature of January
postal figures is that they just fall off
by si556.lS of equalling last Decem-
ber's record which showed the largest
reeeipts of any month during 1912.
Over Januarys receipts Colonel Aldrich
was feeling very jubilant last evening as
he asserted that it gave him great pleas
ure in seeing the year start off so well
in the local postoffics. He said:

ADJUSTMENTS
"Freckles''

The dramatized version of "Freckles
was presented at the Jefferson theatre
last night, beginning an engagement
which will be continued with matinee
this afternoon and concluded with a
performance tonight. Perry Golden
plays the part of "Frecbles' and ac-
quits himself very well. He has per-
sonal magnetism and he succeeds in
making "Freckles" a winning char
acter His songs were also sung with
pleasing voice.
Like most drama tizations of success
full novels, "Freckles" as play is dis
appointing. There is very little action
a. any sort and what there is talk es
place chiefly Off the stage. The pro-
gress of the play is slow at all times
and there are occasions when the awk-
wardness of its management is pain
fully apparent. Perhaps the fault is not
altogether that of the playwright, al
though 1t must be confessed that the
company, while in some of its MEM
bers a trifle amateurish, did about as
well as could be expected with the ma
terial provided. There was lacking.
however, that effect which has come to
be popularity known as punch"
''Freckles,' as acted last night. does
not have a punch
The forest setting of the first and
second acts presents a pretty picture,
but this agreeable impression was
spoiled last night by using house
scenery, much the worse for wear, for
an interior in the third act.
People who have read "Freckles' in
the book form-and a great many peo-
pie have done so-rnay find the drama :
tized version mucn more interestin g
than those who are nOt-famiiar with
the incidents described in the novel.

HOBO CONVENTION !.
ISDOWN TO WORK
Decides to Send a Few
Petitions to United
States Congress

| New Orleans, January s1.-After
wrangling for two days over the vir-
tues and evils of socialism, listening to
tirades from labor union enthusiasts
and engaging in lively personalities
over questions relating to the admin
istration Of the organization's affairs,
the National Hobo convention got down
to work this afternoon and decided to
petition Congress to do few things
designed to give employment to the
thousands of idle men of the coun-
| try.
First. they want Congress to bring
10 this country the machinery en-
| ployed in the construction of the Pan
anna canal and use it for the reclama-
ton of lands. Second they want the
Ieoeral government and state govern
! ments to enter upon more extensive
plan of good roads work. Another
thing, they want Congress TO put
check on immigration until the gov
ernment can find work for the unem-
ployed of this country.
President jefferson Davis and Miss
Cora ID. Harvey of Kansas City, who
styles herself the hobo secretary" ad-
dressed the convention in favor of the
resolution relating 10 the canal ma
chinery. Davis declared the government
should bring the machinery here and
clean up" the Florida everglades and
use 1t in other land reclamation work.
He was sure this would afford employ
fnent for at least 10000 hoboes who
are anxious to get work.
! Speakers denounced the employment
OF convicts on public roads.
Arizona Bob" Gillespie, the hobo
| orator, declared that something must
Ibe done to put stop to so many
immigrants coming to this country. He
said the country is filling up with ig
norant foreigners and that good, de-
cent American born men were forced
/ to become hoboes and many even de-
veloped into common BUNS and
