ILLINOIS WOMEN ARE
PLANNING LEGISLATION
(BY United Prese.l

CHICAGO. Dec. 1O-A three-day
conference of Illinois women to for
mulate tentative program of legis-
lation in the interests of women of
the state, opend in the Congress hotel
today with indications that the at
tendance would exceed 1000. The
conference was called at the sugges-
tion of Lieutenant Governor Barratt
@ 'Hara, head of the Illinois senate
welfare commission, whose activities
ir Investigating the causes tf vice
aroused national interest eighteen
months ago.
"The delegates represent women Of
all classes from the wife of the mil
lionaire who studies civies as mat
ter of culture and humanitarianism to
the working girl who has been forced
istence,'' said O'Hara. "The best
thought of the womanhood of Illinois
is represented here today. If the H.
linois Legislature adopts the program
laid out here it will place Illinois in
the van of all states in progressive ac-
ton for the benefit of women and
girls.
"The more important subjects to
be considered at the conference are.
A minimum wage law for women,
maximum work day of perhaps eight
hours, vocational education and abol-
ition of the system of fning girl vice
victims.
"I believe this conference marks
the beginning of new era in Illinois
when Office holders, instead of passing
laws that suit themselves, will be ad-
vised by conferences of this kind"

STRINGING POWER WIRES
AT RATE THREE MILES DAY

w. II. Leffingwell, chief engineer
for the Nevada Valleys Power com
pany, is in Winnemucca today. He
reports work progressing SATISFACTORY
~ or the company s power line be-
tween Lahontan and Rochester. The
post holes are dug as far as Granite
Point. eight miles west of Lovelock,
and wire is strung to Parran, 30 miles
west. The work is progressing at the
rate of three miles a day.
It is estimated that the line will be
into Rochester about the goth of next
month, although the contract does not
require the work to be finished be-
fore the 31st.
The plant at Lahontan was used by
the government in constructing the
dam at that point, and when the work
was finished was leased to the Neva-
la Valleys Power company. 1t has
two 500.kilowat machines, furnishing
together 1888 horsepower. A third
machine of equal capacity is being
constructed by the General Electric
company, and when finished will give
the plant a total capacity of approx
mately 1000 horsepower. However,
the company has leases on other water
rights, so that it will be able to add to
its capacity as occasion may require.

MAY BUILD BIG NITROGEN
PLANT IN CALIFORNIA
(By Unite Pross.)

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10-If the
search for a suitable site for a hyro-
electric plant site now under way is
successful, an entirely new industry
that will call for the investment of
100000 will be established in Cali
forna. The industry is the manufae-
ture of nitrogen compounds, such as
ammonia and nitrates, by the electric
process. This is something new in the
United States, but is demonstrated
success in Norway.
Walter v. Clark, mining and
hydraulic engineer from New York is
making the preliminary search for a
site.
"I've already examined two sites
in the north,' he said, "and there are
other proposed sites that will be
looked into before the final decision
as to location is made. / am making
the investigation in behalf of some
New York men who are familiar with
what has been done in Norway.
"The production of nitrogen com,
pounds, commercially, from the inert
nitrogen of the air, Is something OF
recent years. In Norway at the pres
ent time about 100000 horsepower
of energy is used for this purpose
What Pm looking for is a dam site
with sufficient watershed and with
CROUCH of drop to generate constantly
from 10000, to 10000 horsepower
"There are several processes EN-
ployed in Norway all depending or
the same. principle. They are produc
inc nitric acid and the valuable nj
trate proftably, and there should bt
an opening for an industry of the same
sort on the coast

Barr CASE Will
soon Reach JURY

At 3 O'Clock this afternon all wit.
nesses had been finished with in the
Barr ease, and it is not improbable
tLat arguments will be made in time
to submit the case to the jury before
court adjourns for the day.
Barr took the stand yesterday and
during his examination testified that
he was convicted on but one charge
in Colorado, where he served several
years in the penitentiary, since the
killing of Larkin. For the purpose of
impeaehing his testimony, this after
noon the State introduced in evidence
the court records of Pueblo county,
Colorado, to show that Barr, under
the name of Collins, pleaded guilty
and was sentenced on two charges
growing out of the holdup of street
car.
Barr told a straightforward story of
the killing of Larkin, which a Cruel
ling ross-examination failed to
shake He testified that Larkin had
shot at him on several occasions, and
that on the day OF his death he reach
ell for his gun when he saw Barr, but
that he shot before he could pull.
Salter & Robins, for defendant
put FIVE witnesses on the stand to
prove that Larkin had been at an
equal number of different places,
tlooking' for Barr.
Notorious Border Outlaw
Six witnesses testified that Larkin IS
true name was Bill Stiles and that he
was notorious border outlaw. Five
of the witnesses knew Stiles in Ari
zona Sheriff Lamb was the sixth
witness, testifying that at the time
he deputized Stiles he was not aware
OF his identity, but that on the day
following the killing he was visited
by Detective Thaeker, who informed
him who Larkin was and requested
him to remove all Identification
marks from the body.

devotion than of the thousands kneel-
ing In a temple before screen, upon
which no symbol appears, in order
that they, strangers to the dead,
might revere the dead who died in
the Russo-Japanese war leaving no
issue to revere them.
The japanese are emotional people
not In affection but in temperament.
Their affection is reasonably con-
slant; their emotions quick to change
and, because of the treatment they
have received from other nations and
because Of their natural stoicism, they
are past masters at cOncealing such
changes. Al constant Japanese friend
may become most diligent enemy at
a moments notice for reasons quite IN
explicable to the eastern mind. He
will fight with quick and fierce hate
because Of these emotions and as
though his friend were his long-stand-
ing enemy. Because of this charac-
teristic grave responsibility rests
upon the leaders and particularly upon
the agitators OF Japan.
The agitators of Japan, who do not
differ from agitators elsewhere. would
Hike to- have Japan's soldiers fight
the United States and would watch
the result with motives of curiosity
On, worse still, with motives Of politi-
cal advancement or pecuniary gain:
Their treatment of the great men Of
Japan is scandalous. The press does
not appear to vigorously resist the
temptation to do likewise. Japan's
leaders will, 1t is hoped, not be COM
PEELED to submit to such motives In
so serious a matter as war. Whoever
among them Is strong enough to set
in motion the sahe motive of greater
friendship and of more extended COM
mercial good fellowship and inter-
course with the United States viii do
good for both countries and for worlds
