CLOTHING "ACENT"
HELD AT TRINIDAD

A young man giving his name
as Robert Davis aud who claimed
to be an agent for the Rochester
Tailoring company of Rochester,
N. Y, transacted quite little
bunch of business in Monte Vista
last Saturday. He first sold the
exclusive agency for the tailoring
company to Joe Rubin and then
sold another exclusive agency to
+. Hubbard. Not only was Davis
in the business of establishing
agencies, but he took orders for
mems tailor-made suits, and sue
ceeded in interesting several young
men of the city in the splendid line
of samples which he carried to the
extent that they gave him orders
for several suits With every order
for suit a deposit WAS required
and willingly paid by the pros
pectlVe buyers.
But in some manner suspicion
became aroused that the peddler
was not certified and registered
agent and the Rochester company
was communicated with. The wire
brought a reply of gloom to the
effect that the New York firm had
no agent by the name of Davis.
With all possible haste tracer
was sent after the wandering jew
and report has it that he was To-
Gated in Trinidad, where he is
being held until an officer may be
dispatched to accompany him to
this place. 1t seems that most of
the towns of the valley were worked
in much the same manner as was
Monte Vista.

CALLS SUFFRAGISTS
MORMONS' CATSPAWS
Women Playing Into Hands Of So

Talks on White Slavery"

"WoefuIly tagging behind in the march
of progress and civilization are the suf-
frsgists," said Mrs. Grace Duffield Good
win. Of New York. in a lecture on "Suf-
frage Pretense" at anti-suffrage head
quarters yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Will
lam Cogswell. chairman of the lecture
committee. introduced the speaker in
the absence OF Mrs. Gardner, the presi-
dent OF the association.
- THE suffragists are hundred years
behind the times" Mrs. Goodwin said.
The question they are agitating has
been settled long ago in the course of
natural evolution and formation Of gov
ernments Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gil
man is giving lectures on the blessings Of
femininism and presents as new ideas
which prevailed in the day OF Plato.
I'VE are pulling down barriers that
were put up by wise lawmakers for our
own protection. We have too much Of
the mother spirit and not enough Of
the father spirit in the government The
Mormons and the Socialists are using
equal suffrage as a catspaw."
Mrs. Goodwin said that instead Of TAX
ing questions of human welfare out Of
politics. woman suffrage would put them
into politics.
Discussing the white slave problem,
Mrs. Goodwin said that 75 per cent OF
the wayward girls come to pass with
and through the connivance or criminal
negligence of their mothers. She said
the only way to save the children was
to teach the parents to save the children
themselves

GAS COMPANIES DENY CHARGE
Call Mr.. Austin's Statement On Car
bon Mono1ide Death. incorrect.

That the records of the District health
department or those OF the coroner's
ONCE. do not substantiate the abatement
attributed to Representative Austin Of
Tenn. to the effect that more than
twenty deaths have been caused in the
District in the last two years by carbon
monoNide. was the assertion of officials
OF the Washington Gas Light Company
and the Georgetown Gas Company yes
terday.
The statement said to have been made
by the Tennessee Representative while
he was advocating a bill for the COM
pulsory inspection Of gas plumbing and
gas-burning appliances.
Records of the District health DE-
partment. TO which all deaths from any
causes in the District must be reported. -
said an official of the Washington Gas
Light Co. show that in 1913 only nineteen
persons lost their lives in any kind Of
gas accident Included in the list OF
nineteen victims are all suicide cases
In which persons ended their own lives
by inhaling Illuminating gas. The list
also includes all victims Of accidental
poisoning from Illuminating gas, as well
as the victims Of gas explosions. In the
list OF nineteen there is not one case of
poisoning from carbon monoxide The
number Of deaths for 1912 In which gas
poisoning or gas explosions figured was
more than thirty, but of these only three
were caused by carbon monoxide poison
ing"
I'VE have taken every possible precau-
tion to safeguard the use Of gas in
Washington, and the result has been
that in the last two years we have not
had a single accident such as Mr.. Austin
claims to have been common in the
District"
