FOR RIOTS IN LONDON

women continue to respect human
life.
But their warfare on property has
been intensified by the governments
recent measures of coersion.
What are we going to do? We have
got to fight on! should like to see on
the sandwich boards all over London
the phrase, "Wanted-More mill
tants!"
No woman ought to go out without
a hammer in her pocket. You who
cannot break windows, for goodness
sake get on with something else! EV-
cry one can "do" a pillar-box. 1t is
the duty of every suffraget to go on
attacking and attacking, whenever
they can do so without being caught.
We must not be keen on getting ar
rested. We must get off, if we can,
so we may go on doing more damage.
We must make it like siege. We
must make London absolutely intol-
cradle to the average citizen until the
average citizen will fill Palace Yard
to tell the government that women
will have to have the vote at once.
There are five and half million
working women in England who go
out to earn their daily bread. Yet the
"antis" have the face to cry, "Wo-
mems place is in the home!" am
thankful as an industrial worker that
the working women of the country
are prepared to fight every inch of the
way, if need be, to win for themselves
the liberty which men have found so
necessary in order to win reform and
bring about better conditions for their
sex!
Can any working man who rightly
insists that his point of view shall be
heard in the house of commons think
that we working women should be en-
tirely unrepresented? Laws are being
made regulating the labor of women
in various ways; it is utterly wrong if

CLINE NUMBER OF APPLIcA-
TIoNs MADE FOR CHRISTMAS
DINNER.

| After giving out total of 40 bas-
mas day, Captain Stevens of the Sal
walton Army, stopped and had to de-
cline the earnest requests for tickets
from many others who let it be known
in some cases that they looked to the
Salvation Army baskets for their
Christmas dinner, and il such were
not Forthcoming, their meal on that
day would be meagre indeed.
Captain Stevens said yesterday that
twice as many as he had given out
yesterday could have been disposed Of.
We started with but 1O0,' he said,
believing that would be the limit, but
so many applications have come to
us, and from needy persons, that we
had to go beyond that limit. 1 tell
you, there are families in this town
who will have no Christmas unless
those who may be charitably-in inclined
bestir themselves, and that quickly
1 tell you, there will be many sad
Christmas, and the people who can
help, and who will help If they can be
brought to realize what is needed in
many a home, should not hold back
longer We are going to send out at
least one hundred baskets. Today we
have given out a total of 140 baskets,
aid you see those two women there
they have just been refused. It is
hard thing to do, but we just had to
do it."
AS many as fifty additional baskets
are needed to supply all the applica-
tions, and anyone who may desire to
help in this charity are assured of re-
spectful and personal attention if they
either call up the Army headquarters,
or else leave their contributions with
those who are in charge of "the boil
ing pots on the street corners.

WATERFRONT, DRANK A CON-
COCTION OF KEROSENE AND
TURPENTINE, WITH FATAL RE-
SUITS.

Rosa Simon, white, about 50 years
of age, and residing near Baylen street
wharf on the waterfront, WaS found
dead early yesterday morning at the
home of Eva Gushing, also white, at
whose home the dead woman had spent
the night. The police investigated the
case and heard the dead woman had
during the night swallowed a concoc-
ton of kerosene oil and turpentine for
scme affliction, and had died during
her sleep.
Early in the morning of yesterday,
u party showed up at the station and
informed the turnkey that Rosa Simon
was asleep at the home of Eva Cush
ion, and could not be awakened. Two
officers were sent to Investigate, Cnd
were then sent to the place where the
woman was reported sleeping. They
soon found that she was sleeping, but
it was her last long sleep, and report
to that effect was turned in at the
station.
Several parties who had been with
her during the early part of Sunday
night yesterday told Chief Sanders
that she had been suffering for some
time with an afliction which caused
her much pain and s:eepIess nights,
and as a cure she was known to have
mixed the dose as above stated and
had swallowed it. with the view of
getting some relief. The oil and tur-
pentine seems to have been too strong
u mixture for she never awoke once
she did drop off to sleep.

The eminent hnancier has for some lime devoted his energies to the establish ment of branches of the National City
 Bank in South America, for the pur- pose of promoting trade relations be- tween the United States and the Latin countries. It has long been recog- mixed that one of the greatest ob- stacles to the building up of such trade has been the lack of adequate financial relations. and this difficulty MT. Vanderlip has sought to solve. MT. Vanderlfp is still a young man,. comparatively speaking, for he was
