MILWAUKEE, Sept. 20.-One O.
the features of the redemption OF
Wisconsin that has not attracted great
attention is the rescue of Milwaukee
from partisan politics. Long before
the Socialists broke in here as ad-
ministrators of the city, by the cleo
Ion of 1910, party lines really had
ceased to exist.
Party tickets appeared in the vari-
Gus municipal elections, but they were
put up by the men who had no poll
tics other than desire to control the
city for special purposes and who
worked the political parties az man
ikins.
Ii was the same old game and the
same old rule by the special interests,
disreputable elements and politicians

Rose became notorious. Here they

great illustration of the fact that par
tisan lines are worked in municipal
affairs purely as a fetish.
Things went along this way until
three years ago Milwaukee was fnrced
over to the Socialist marty to escape
the old partisan control.

the people who had deeiated the old

Commissioner of Navigation, Mi
nOrity Leader Mann and Champ
Clark Discuss Question.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Are
women braver than men,
h. I. Chamberlain, Commissioner
of Navigation, says they are.
Martin 3. Madden, member of Con-
gress from Illinois, says they are.
Minority Leader Mann says they
are, in some respects.
Speaker Champ Clark, coming from

stand off" between men and women.

ent of the Live Saving Service.
doesn't want to show favoritism, ami
says both men and women are gen
orally brave"
Chamberlain's declaration is very
emphatic. 1t is contained in 4 report
which he has just made to the Secre-
tary of Commerce on charges relat-
ing to conditions on vessels on the
Great Lakes, and it has awakened
widespread discussion.
The charges were filed by the Amer
lean Vigilance Association. They al
legged it was a habit of masters of
small vessels on the lakes to have
women on board, ostensibly as cooks,
but really for immoral purposes. The
association wanted the practise
stopped. One of its arguments was
that women were in the way in ma
rine disa sters, that men We're ham
pered in their efforts to escape by
the need of looking after the women,
and that women should not be al
lowed on board the small trading yes
sells, where the life saving facilities
were necessarily limited.
Finds CHARGES Unfounded.
Commissioner Chamberlain was 1t
rected to make an investigation. He
did So He found the charges against
the masters of the vessels We're un-
founded, and he said as much. The
thing that really aroused his indlg-
nation, however, was the allegation
that women were in the way in dis
asters and the intimation that they
were lacking in physical bravery.
Women, as a rule, in marine dis
asters," said Mr.. Chamberlain, have
shown courage, self posses sion, self
reliance and obedience, and almost
without exception any display n
cowardice or unrestrained manifesto
ton Of the instinct of self -pTeservl-
ton has come from men. The rule on
shipboard, women and children first
is based on the fundamental resDe (
for womanhoOd and on self-sacrifce,
common qualities of mer in TINS
country, in which, however, those
making tItIstS III llilS case seem
wholly deficient, and to the existence
of which they seem blind"
Unofficial approval of Commission
er Chamberlain's views has been Civ
en- by the Department Of Commerce,
inasmuch as il made special effort TO
give them publicity.
Madden Is Enthusiastic.
Representative Madden, of those
who paid particular note to Mr..
Chamberlain report was the mos
enthusiastic in his Endorsement OF the
Commissioners views.

Mr. Madden. when it comes to being
equal to an emergency, a woman is
the superior of any man I ever saw.
She may collapse when it is over but
while the peril lasts she is as calm
and collected as if nothing at all was
the matter.

marine disaster, hut have seen them
in automobile and railroad wrecks,

another. I have seen my wife in a

fashion. with similar fawn and brown
tones, are exceedingly popular this sea-
son with Parisiennes.
But perhaps still more conspicuous
feminine novelty at Longchamp races re-
Gently was the new fur glouton, the skin
of the Labrador wolf, whose vogue has
replaced red fox.
Glouton has become a great favorite,
owing to its rich brown shade, which is
almost as dark as chestnut, says Paris
special to London Tit-Bits.
1t is used mostly for stoles and muffs,
one skin for each. 1t is also used by
big dressmakers in the shape of shawl
collars for the new corduroy costumes
and c1oaks.
Putois or polecat. another Of the sea-
sons successes, Is also used for this
purpose, mostly on dark velvet costumes
and the fashionable loose corduroy over
coats, in Burgundy red and dark bottle
green.
Partisan milliners employ polecat skin
on black velvet hats, and smart women
show marked preference for 1t when
made into wide. supple stoles, lined with
velvet of contrasting color such as royal
blue, emerald green or ruby red.
The muff Is made to match the stole,
and olive-shaped, bulging out in the CEN
ter and drawn in at each end, lined with
the same sort of velvet as the stole.
Skunk. another fashionable fur was
much in evidence today, in narrow bands
on black velvet and velveteen skirts
A glouton skin costs from Ell upwards,
and when made into a stole from Ella
pounds upwards. A dozen pjutois skins
make fashionable sized muff.
Putois skins are to be purchased I'm
three varieties, German, Russian and
French.
Two marvellous black fox skins exhib-
tied in the Due de la Paix are worth

Man Who Was Said to Back
Huerta Is Interested in
Great Oil Fields - Sue
cessful Contractor

The story went out not long ago that
Victoriano Huerta had got money enough
from the British government to run his
own provisional government in Mexico
for a month. The money the report had
it, came through Lord Cowdray, head of
the Pearson syndicate. Lord Cowdray
denied the story, but it serves to illustrate
the extent of his interests in Mexico.
Lord Cowdray, who probably is better re-
called to most persons under his former
name of Sir Weetman Pearson, has in
terests in Mexico so vast that it might
be we'll worth his while to further the
affairs of any government in that country
which seemed to have good chance
of survival says the New York Sun.
When Diaz was President and Lord
'Cowdray was six Weetman Pearson
they worked together nightly to improve
Mexico. Both made much money out of
it, but it Is not to be denied that this
extraordinary contractor and engineer
helped to change the face of nature in
Mexico and did some marvels of building
work. More than that, his interests take
in oil wells of unusual capacity so that
he is a rich man indeed from the work
he has done in Mexico alone. And his
Mexican achievements are not the COM
Aplete tale of his activities.
1t was some years ago that his firm, 5.
Pearson e. Son, Ltd, took and completed
a $5,000,000 contract for extensive harDor
works ins Vera Cruz. Later came the
gigantic task of draining the valley or
Mexico with a canal which cost $15,0OOO0o
These tasks were done and well done,
! so that later when President Diaz con-
templated the reconstruction ana COM
pletion of the Tehuantepec railroad 1t
was not unnatural that the Pearson firm
should get the job.
Started Work in 1902
1t was in 1902 that this work was
started. A limit of 81 years was set for
the task, involving the construction OF
the railroad and of proper terminal
ports at the Atlantic and Pacific ends
so as to compete with the Panama ca
nal for trans continental traffic and
the trade to the far east
