One woman urged the presence of a
few men. because" she exclaimed, II

That brought laughter and applause.

Henrotin. because there are matters
connected with divorce that women
will confide to one another that they

the resolution.

be the soloist at Easter services to be

where she was boarding had warrant
issued for her arrest, charging her with
the larceny of SIT, and the magistrate
committed the girl for the action of the
grand jury.

prisoners.
At the Jail Miss Brown will not only
sing but she will give a piano recital.

MISS WILSON WINNER
Efforts to Protect Delaware
Working Women Aided in
Passing Bill.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

oPcSidl DiSpoLCu ~ 1Ht Sl6Is
WILMINGTON. March 2o.-Miss Jessie
Woodrow Wilson, daughter of the Pres
ident. has won her fight for the enact
ment of a ten-hour work day law for
women in Delaware.
AS the result. primarily. of an address
delivered by her at a meeting here un-
der the auspices of the Consumers
League on February %. at which Fed
eral Judge Gray presided, the legislature
passed the bill. Several members of the
general assembly heard the daughter of
the chief executive deliver an address
in advocacy of the bill, and it had an
effect. Today Gov. Miller signed the
measure. but without the presence Of
Miss Wilson the bill would probably not
have been passed.
The fact that she vigorously supported
it and even deplored the fact that Del
aware was slow in following the lead
of other states in protecting working
women robbed the opponents Of the
measure of their principal arguments.
She Is Notified.
When the senate passed the bill this
week after nullifying amendments had
finally been eliminated the first person
notified by Miss Margaret Shearman,
leader of the ten-hour movement was
Miss Wilson. 1t had previously gone
through the house.
The bill limits the hours of employment
for women to ten hours daily, except one
twelve-hour day a week The hours of
labor per week are limited to fifty-five.
Chancellor Curtis is empowered to ap-
point an inspector to enforce the law.
Merchants and manufacturers are given
an opportunity to adjust conditions to
meet the provisions of the new law, for
it does not go into effect until January l..
The legislature also enacted a more
effect January 1 next. The state already
had a law regulating the employment of
children.

President Not to Withdraw
Potential Influence for
Protection.
BELIEVES MOTT COULD BE
GREAT HELP AS MINISTER
This Government Could De More as
Disinterested Friend Than as
Ambitious Partner.

President Wilson's recent statement
withdrawing the aid Of this government
from what was popularity known as "the
six-power loan does not mean the re-
tirement of the United States from par
tfcipation in far eastern diplomacy. Mr..
Wilson has indicated that the develop
ment of the Administrations policy to-
ward China would be gradual and well
measured.
That there was no intention of with
drawing the potential influence for pro-
lection which this government has exert
ed in respect to China and that the W.T.
son administration would make a vigt r.
GUS effort to promote American trade in
terests in the orient was the impression
gathered by some of the Presidents CALL
ers yesterday.
United States in Better Position.
The Presidents viewpoint, it was said,
was that the United States would be in
far better position to help China by re-
naming outside of any particular agree
ments which might have for their object
a voice in Chinas political future, than
by actual participation.
The Wilson administration thinks it can
curry more favor with China and be of
more actual service as a disinterested
friend than as an ambitious partner in
any loan agreement which by it's terms
might bind the United States to future
programs of the powers with respect to
| China
Policy Partially Announced.
The policy of the United States has
been partially announced, this govern
ment having given expression merely to
its aversion to the idea Of interfering
with China's internal affairs. That pro-
nouneement soon might be made by
President Wilson setting forth the hopes
| of this government for a share in the
| trade and commerce of the new republic
| through what it believes more legiti-
! mate means is limited at in official cir
| c1es.
OF especial significance at this time is
| the definite statement that President
| Wilson is earnestly seeking John r
Mott, one Of the prominent international
| secretaries of the Y. NJ. &C. A., to take
the post Of minister to China.
Mott Would Be Factor.
It is suggested in official circles thai
the administration recognizes the inhu
| ence which American missions and reli
! gious institutions have had in the regen
Grafton of China, and believes Mr.. Mot
| could be an important factor in the har
monious discharge of the best views o.
the mission world with respect to China
and the Washington administration a.
/ well.
| With the acceptance by Mr. Mott and
| perhaps a supplementary statement or
the American attitude toward securing
| trade development in the orient 1t is be-
I lieved the climax of the Chinese situa
\ ton will be the formal recognition by
4 this government of the Chinese republic

ENGINEER SAVES 125,
NEARLY LOSING LIFE
Montreal to Boston Train
Twice Escapes Disaster
in Vermont.

LYNDONVILLE, VT March 22-Fac-
ing what appeared to be imminent death.
the engineer of a passenger train from
Montreal for Boston today brought the
crowded coaches to an abrupt stop on the
edge of tottering bridge.
An instant later the structure, weakened
by a flood. gave way under the weight
of the locomotive and the engine with
it's crew plunged into the ice-choked
stream.
The 12o passengers Who scrambled out
of the cars to learn the cause of their
sudden shaking UP received second
shock when trainmen reported that an
other bridge over the Passumpsic river,
mile back, had been swept away mo-
ment after their train had cleared it.
Drop in Open Water.
The engineer and fireman by a lucky
chance dropped into open water and
swan ashore not much the worse for
their experience.
The Passumpsic river had risen rapid
ly since yesterday when a warm sun
and showers melted the ice and the
snow along it's banks. Ice jams piled
up at many points.
During the night two other railroad
bridges at nearby points of the Boston
and Maine were carried away.
The train that SO narrowly escaped dis
aster was a local that left Montreal last
night and was due in Boston this after
noon. 1t carried passengers from all
along the route.
Felt Way Cautiously.
Engineer John Eastman had felt his
way cautiously through the flood dis
trict, keeping a sharp eye on river cross
ings. AS he approached the bridge near
this station he saw the abutment had
been weakened and reversing his engine
clapped on the air brakes
The train came to halt within its own
length but not until the locomotive had
added it's weight to the weakened pier.
causing it to collapse The coupling be-
tween the engine and the cars snapped
and Eastman and his fireman took a
forty-foot drop clinging to the sides of
the cab.
