BY MARGARET ToBIN.

South Bend women interviewed be-
fore Pres. Wilson'S decision Monday
were found 10 hold varying opinions
regarding the distinguished, or noto-
riOus-as the viewpoint may be
stranger outside our gates, Mrs. Pank-
hurst.
II say she should be admitted" said
Mrs. Z. j. Harrison, a delegate from
the Progress club to the coming con-
vention OF the State Federation Of
Women's clubs. And Mrs. Harrison
spoke promptly and resolutely. Mrs.
Harrison is a staunch suffragist and
an Englishwoman.
Il think Mrs. Pankhurst ought to
be given a chance" Mrs. Harrison
went on. "AlI she wants is a fair
hearing. The situation in England is
entirely different from what it is here
and she ought to be given an oppor-
tunity TO explain what she is really
doing"
May Hear Truth.
"All that America knows of the mill
itants 1t has learned from the news
papers" Mrs. Harrison continued,
and with due respect to newspapers,
they have given very distorted view
Of the conditions in England. II
would be worth while to hear the
truth.
THE Englishman is tyrant, and
you can say that l said So" said Mrs.
Harrison emphatically as she took up
an explanation OF the English situa-
ton as she sees it.
THE Englishwoman has never had
a fair chance. The man insists upon
being the absolute ruler of his house
hold and the woman often dares not
raise her voice.
Il am not for fire and flood and
riot" she concluded, and 1 should
deplore those methods in a suffrage
campaign as much as anyone. But
if we understood better the English
woman's problem we would have more
sympathy for the militants.'
Mrs. c. NJ. r. Haeske, formerly
president of the Progress club would
keep her out.
II do not approve one bit Of per-
hitting Mrs Pankhurst to stir our
nation up with her violent attitude"
said Mrs. Haeske "She won't do any
good here and she can't possibly get
away from her militant poiu. of view.
Would Bar Her Out.
"I notice that Mrs. Raymond
Robins calls her a prophet" con-
tinued Mrs. Haeske, referring to an
interview with Mrs. Robins that ap-
peared in the morning edition of the
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1913-10-20

WAS ENGINEER DEAD
WHEN WRECK CAME
Train Man Who is Blamed For
Fatal Wreck at Ginger Hill
May Have Died in His Cab
From Heart Failure Before
Collision, Say Engineers.

That Engineer Tom Jefferson. who
was blamed by coroner's verdict for
the recent wreck on the c. l. & s.
railroad at Ginger Hill in which he
and two trainmen lost their lives. may
have dropped dead from heart failure
before the collision is the opinion of
many engineers who were close
friends of the dead man and are loud
in their praise OF his splendid raid
road record covering many years.
Jeffersons last spoken words.
Here's where we are delayed for 95"
is TO them conclusive evidence that
he had his orders and planned TO obey
them when death struck him down in
his cab with his fireman ignorant that
dead hand held the throttle.
The contention is expressed in the
following communication written by
a fellow engineer to express the sem
timents of the railroad men who knew
him best.
What the direct cause OF the Gin
ger hill wreck seven miles west Of
South Bend on the c., /. & s. r. r.
on Oct. 10, will never be known. In
honor to Engineer Tom Jefferson,
who was looked up TO by both Off
Gals and employees as a standard to
gauge an ideal engineer, this state
ment is made.
Mr.. jefferson and his two brakemen
lost their lives in this wreck. The
fireman, the only one left to tell of
his awful experience, made several
statements which are not
TO be wondered at considering those
dreadful moments he passed through.
He stated that Engineer Jefferson had
shut off the throttle with the remark.
fsHare iS where we get DELAYED bV
No. 95.'' No. So being the west bound
train he had orders to meet at Ginger
HILL and that after shutting the throt-
tie and apparently going to use his
air to stop on the main line to allow
No. 95 to take the siding, his life
went out and he was a dead man be-
fore the collision.
Similar Case on Il. f. & w.

but a similar occurrence on an L. Z.

own favor, double crossing Place and
Swygart, the original candidates, he
quickly decided that it was no place
for a self-respecting republican and
withdrew.
Even after he was nominated by the
republicans however, Mr.. Loughman
was approached by citizen party lead
ers who told him he could have had
the mayoralty nomination if he had
just let them know.
His statement follows:
1.-THE Tribune is right in stating that
an interview promising my support to
the citizens ticket was printed in its
issue of May II. This interview was
granted after repeated solicitations
and telephone calls from the Tri
bune. They called me at my home
and at my place OF business, and /
finally called TO see Mr.. Crockett at
the Tribune.
1.-The warmest fraternal and person
al friendship has always existed be-
tween Mr.. Crockett and me, and af-
ter talking with him a few moments
relative to the then stated object of
the citizens ticket, and its then can
didate, Mr.. Place, | gave ii my sup
port. The interview as written by the
Tribune appeared that evening with
out my having seen il.

From that time there was never

knowledge Of the third candidate, and
OF the ring of men who wanted office
and control and / changed my mind
as 10 the real intent and purpose of
the citizens party. This ring fulfilled
my expectations by forcing the Tri-
bune. the old republican Tribune. for

South Bend Women Were
Divided on Question of
Letting Mrs. Pankhurst In

News-Times. but 1 think that a
prophet must be saner than Mrs.
Pankhurst's actions in England have
shown her to be-"
Mrs. Haeske admitted. however.
that the Englishwoman might have
some provocatiOn to militancy. Eng
hshmen do not take quite the same
viewpoint toward the suffrage move
ment as do the men of America.
All the same Mrs. Pankhursts judy
ment has become warped, she thinks.
she Is not the right leader for a great
movement. She has let her enthusi-
asn drift off into fanaticism.
Mrs. Haeske is a friend of the suf-
frage movement. she says, and of
every phase Of the movement that is
meant to broaden women's influence
and opportunities.
Il don't think it would hurt mat
tiers at all to send her back" In that
light-hearted way Mrs. Joseph Z. Will
liams, a member OF both the I'm
promptu and Progress clubs, disposed
of the case of Mrs. Pankhurst.
Women are emotional, she gave as
her reason, and there is a danger that
Mrs. Pankhursts militant attitude
might stir the American women to do
rash and unseemly things.
The suffrage movement in this
country has been conducted in a sane,
level-headed way. Mrs. Williams says.
Leaders like Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke
and others in Indiana have worked
hard to keep the movement in Indiana
on the same high plane. 1 would be
too bad TO inject militancy into It now
Need Her I'm England.
And anyway" said Mrs. Williams,
"she is doing such fine work across
the water. 1t is the best place for
her"
Mrs. Williams said she was brought
to see the justice in Mrs. Pankhurst's
militant methods in England in the
interview given out by Mrs. PanlIhurst
while being held at Ellis Island.
Mrs. Pankhurst compared the mill
liant Englishwoman's fight to tie light
made by our forefathers in the Amer
lean. Both fought for polite III recOg
milton. And Mrs. Williams conclud-
ed. if men can revolt, why may not
women.
Mrs. Harry Bartlett. president of
the Women's Franchise league in
South Bend, said there might be two
points of view.
If one insisted on a strict enforce
ment of the letter Of the law she
perhaps should be excluded. But, if
is merely a question of expediency let
her in. she says, she will do no harm.

came a candidate on the republican
ticket men still representing the best
intents of the citizens movement call
ed upon me, and asked why had not
made known my wish to have the
honor of being mayor that they might
have placed me in nomination on the
citizens ticket.
Now, if / was good enough to be
a candidate on the sanctifed citizens
ticket, how is it that / am suddenly
so morally oblique and lacking in in
tegrity as to be the tool of the demo-
cratic party?"
A statement from the republican
camp also furnishes the news that
Alex Langel, bartender candidate for
city clerk on the citizens ticket. is
now in good standing after a strong
kick by Langel. 1t also conveys the
intimation heard previously on the
streets that liquor was literally used
by the citizens in nominating the pres
ent ticket
Tribune Threw Him Down.
When the citizens party organ
threw Langel down. after it discov-
cred his liquor affiliations-which was
after me primaries, though the Tri-
bune had boosted that it had superior
facilities for knowing the worth of
the various candidates for nomina-
ton and hence was entitled to dictate
the ticket-there was a general ten
dency on the part of the sinner citi-
zens' ring to keep Alex in the back
ground.
But Alex wouldn't be ditched. He
was the nominee and entitled to the
support of the campaign committee.
He told the Kellerites so pointedly,
and now his picture is out on thous-
ands of cards as the ultra good"
candidate for clerk, and his name is
up on the streamers along with that
Of his chief.

post.
Both these men were apparently in
the best OF health and had worked
every day for 25 or so years.
Mr.. Jefferson made a request TO in
crease his life insurance sometime
ago. but was rejected on account OF
heart trouble. and Mr.. Flaherty pass
ed through a similar experience and
was rejected for insurance by the
brotherhood of Engineers. of which
he was a member for years.
The officials and the many friends
Of Mr.. Jefferson are at a loss to ex-
plain what happened. Ii was not
carelessness, for he was one engineer
that would not steal time nor take q
chance and in all his years of rail-
reading was always on the safe side
He never was disciplined nor repri-
manded, but at all times looked upon
as loo per cent perfect.
Officials Praised Him.
One of our high officials expressed
himself 10 an engineer a few years
ago when a train passed with Engi-
neer Jefferson at the throttle, that he
was always pleased when ne saw JEFF
ferson OF one Of those fast meat
trains as it would sure be landed on
time without any trouble.
Mr.. Jefferst n had been on these
fast runs for years and knew every
foot OF the road and on this fatal
trip was at his best and not over
worked, being five hours and 3 min
utes on duty.
on the evening of Oct. the writer
had his last talk with Mr.. Jefferson.
We spoke Of this safety first" move
ment, which the company has taken
a great deal Of time and expense TO
make an issue for the employees and
the public

saying, Tom, 1 like your work be-
cause you set a splendid example and
you don't take any chances"
Yes, and / won't take any chances
either and wish every engineer would
do the same" was his answer.
SO considering all that has been

and the past life of Tom

fore the accident happened.

ACCUSE JEROME OF
DECEIVING FELKER
ThaW Counsel Asserts Attorney
Presented Governor With a
Fake Indictment Intending to
MiSIead Him.

CONCORD. y. H, Oct. 20.-Attor-
neys for Harry X. Thaw Monday took
the offensive in their fight against
VIM. Travers Jerome. They filed with
Gov. F'elker a brief directly accusing
Jerome OF breach or faith and at
tempting TO deceive the governor
when he declared that Indictment
had been returned against Thaw Ia
New York state. The brief says IN
part:
I'VE are confident that Mr.. Jerome
made this statement with the intend
ed purpose OF misleading your excel
lency as To the fact
1T is evident that Mr.. Jerome made
this statement with the deliberate pur-
pose of deceiving you in that he wish
ed you TO believe that an indictment
was still in force and in existence
against Mr.. Thaw.
If the mem bers Of the Duchess
county grand jury when they were
dismissed on Oct. 9Th had been al
lowed To state the facts which took
place IN their proceedings the state
ment would have branded Mr.. Con-
gers letter which was written on oct.
], as absolutely false and they would
have also established the fact that the
indictment presented to your excel
lency was intended 10 mislead you. be-
cause no legal indictment had ever
been found against Mr.. Thaw.
I'VE submit that when Mr.. Jerome
filed the alleged Indictment he pre-
scented documents which are absolute
ly false and without foundation.
I'VE would also suggest TO your eX-
Cellency that Mr.. Thaw can never De
placed on trial for the offense with
which they charged him unless an in
dictment shall be found.
I'VE would call the attention OF
your .excellency to the fact that the
offense with which Mr. Thaw is
charged is only a misdemeanOr and
that he could not be confined in a
state prison though he were found
guilty"

High winds and muddy condi-

with the work of the shad fisher
men this week and the catches Of
shad were not as great as the fisher
men looked for. The fishermen all
operated their nets and made from
three to four drifts daily, and the
catches averaged from five to twen-
ty to drift. From the head Of the
Delaware to the bay shad nets are
being operated and the favorite
toothsome fish should begin on
Monday to reach the markets by
