FROM LEADER
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, Head
of Illinois Forces, Talks to
Detroit Workers
DON'T TRY TO MAKE
CAUSE POPULAR, SHE SAYS
"Just Work Positively for What
You Want to Accomplish"
Her Advice

The question Of equal suffrage is
one which should be presented In a
reasonable, dignfied way. on the basis
OF its own merits. according to Mrs.
Grace Wilbur Trout. president OF the
Illinois Equal Suffrage league. who
spoke Monday morning to about rs
leaders Of the movement here In the
Wayne County Equal Suffrage
leagues headquarters. Mrs. Trout's
informal talk to the Detroit women
dealt largely with the work with
!. which she Ii associated In Illinois
and the success achieved In the adop-
ton OF woman suffrage by the ILL
pois legislature.
= She declared that men and women
for ages have been associated on an
unnatural basis.
"The necessities of their lives" she
said, have forced women to man.
!. age men. And men ON their part
have always cajoled women. Now
managing mothers and cajoling faith
ers are not the sort of parents who
can be depended upon to bring up
the American citizen as We expect
him to be brought up in the future.
IL IL necessary for men and women
TO look upon public and civic ques-
J lions together. upon plane Of mental
equality.
al believe that one OF the greatest
hinderances to our efforts In the past
has been q fear lest we will offend
some person or some organization.
We must get away from that attitude.
No great cause can be won on the
basis OF making 1t popular. But the
right way Is to work positively for
what you want to accomplish. not to
spend your energy attacking someone
else who does not agree with you.
IF there are conservative women
among you, give them something to
do and they wilr be for you. not OPP
posed. Always treat an anti as II
she were a reasonable human being
Put your trust In other folk. and their
actions will be your reward. When
we went down to Springfield in our
Illinois fight, there was not member
OF the legislature there whom was
not warned against as untrustworthy.
But we trusted them and they passed
the bill. We trusted even those who
opposed US. We went to them and
asked merely for q square deal We
asked for them not to kill the bill
by Indirect methods and they did not
try to do 80.

Every such girl should rely on Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore her to normal healthy con- dition, then work will be a pleasure.

Again Proves Worth as Light Wea.
 ther F1ier.

Bristol, R. l.. May 1.-The cup sloop Resolute gave further proof as g. consistent light weather yacht yes- terday in a five hour trip with De- signer Nat Herreshoff, Robert w. Emmons 2d, George Cormack, George E. Nichols, John Parkinson and Charles Francis Adams 2d on board.
 Nothing could stop her, not even a lack of wind, at the start a few minutes before 10 o'clock. Passing the Pappasquash bell buoy in a mere drift, the topsail filled while other sails slated, she quickly reached the off rig and beat surely but slowly to Newport, the light air being from southwest, but often baffling.
 The spinnaker and balloon jib were set and taken in off Dyer's Island and Resolute, taking the wind from the northwest, fetched her mooring on a reach. Messrs. Emmons and Cor mack stated afterward that the Reso- lute is working admirably. Other tests will be had this week in Mar ragansette Bay and outside of New port.

CATCH INTERPRETER
 GIVING FAKE PLEA
Says "Not Guilty" When Prisoner
 Admits Charge of Theft.

Ike Masolian, who gave his age as nineteen when arrested and sixteen in police court this morning, was fined $15 and costs for the theft of a bicycle from Stephen Dudack, well known ball player, by Judge James T. Meskill.
 Dudack placed the wheel in the cell lar of his home, IA Beatty street. last Friday and found it missing when he went to get it yesterday. Later in the day he saw Masolian riding it at the corner of Main and Lafayette streets and stopped him. Masolian was es- corted to police headquarters where he told Officer Bamforth he had hired the wheel for couple of hours for twenty-five cents. He was locked up.
 Considerable difficulty was experi- enced in court in securing an inter- preter who understood the Persian language. One well known citizen was rejected by Judge Meskill. An- other volunteered to act and his term of office lasted for about two minutes. He repeated the charge of theft to the prisoner after it had been read by Clerk Andrew. Masolian gave a lengthy reply. 'He says he is not guilty said the interpreter. The in- terpreter was questioned closely and he admitted that Masolian had told him of going into Dudack's cellar and taking the wheel. The inter- preter was ordered out of the case. Finally Baba Y. Jones, the Myrtle street merchant was secured. He talked with the prisoner, who ad- mitted going into Dudack's cellar yesterday and taking the wheel with out permission of the owner.
 Was Taking French Leave"
 wadislaw Tomaszeski was fined $5 for drunkenness and was allowed to go to the police office to get a bond which he had filed, saying that he would pay his fine. He failed to re- turn and Chief Rawlings caught him travelling down Commercial street. He was brought back and paid his fine.
 Made Trouble at Home.
 Albert Gordon pleaded guilty to drunkenness and breach of the peace. Ii was alleged that he created a dis turbance at his home in Seymour park Saturday night. He was arrest ed by Officer Burke.
 Mrs. Gordon testified that her hus- band is a good, industrious man when he is not under the influence of li- quor.
 Judgment was suspended and Cor
