WOULD ENTER CONGRESS
AS ANT|-SUFFRAG|ST
Barnhill Announces Candidacy for
Representative From Illinois as
Opposing Votes for Women.

The first fight on strictly woman suf-
frage>issue for election to the House of
Representatives promises to be made in
Illinois.
John Basil Barnhill of Louisville, ILL.,, at
present private secretary to Representa-
tive O'Hair of Illinois, yesterday an
nounced his candidacy for representative
at large from Illinois. His platform will
be, he announced, that he is opposed to
woman suffrage and is a Wilson demo-
crat''
Mrs. Sherman Booth of Chicago. Of the
congressional committee of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association.
when informed of Mr.. Barnhilfs an
nouncement. said that on such a platform
he has absolutely no chance of winning
in Illinois, She declared that hardly
any fight will be necessary. Women do
not vote for members OF Congress in Hi
nois. but vote for all state officers.
Mr. Barnhill announced his position as
follows:
Il am opposed to the political equality
of the sexes because such equality would
inevitably involve the loss to woman OF
the special privileges which are indis-
pensable to the well being of the mother,
the child and the home privileges which
II exalts man to offer to woman and
which woman can accept without the loss
OF dignity or self-respect.
Il believe that the best career for wom-
an will always be marriage and her no
blest mission will always be motherhood.
II believe that il Is time to assert the
rights of those women who believe in
home and love tit is high time to save
such from the ma ign work of those or
Plantations which would inspire woman
with disgust for the idea of home and
which would drive her from home into in
dustrial competition with man.
What man worthy OF the name would
force his mother or his wife into compe-
tition with men? Yet the crux of the
whole question is right here-How shall
we treat the mothers and the wives of
the race?
THE supreme task Of civilization is to
rescue woman from competition with man
in the industrial field. In encouraging
woman to enter into competition with
man In all fields of labor, maintain that
the suffrage movement betrays woman in
the profoundest possible manner.
IF nominated for and elected to the
House of Representatives I shall support
democratic policies and shall oppose the
movement to bring about the political
equality Of the sexes"

England's Rural Police.
From ne Lsndon Chronicle.

Although rural policemen are paid
considerably less than their London
colleagues, their lot Is by no means
an easy one. The village constable
rarely finds any crime or disorder
within his Jurisdiction. but the variety
of regulations laid down by the board
of agriculture keep him busy. He must
see that the carcase of an OK. dead Of
anthrax or some other dread disease,
is properly cremated, and that sheep
are marked only with the approved
dip. The birds scheduled for protec-
ton must nest undisturbed, and to egg
collecting boys the constable Is a real
terror. He must have an eye for a
horse, too. as the war once expects him
TO keep a return Of the number of
horses in his district suitable for mill
tary service

from the London Chr0nlcN.
Judges in former times not only sat
after dinner, but continued sitting until
very nearly breakfast time. For it was
long held that criminal cases must be I'M
ished in one day no matter how long the
day might prove. Thus Lord Mansfield.
in trying Lord George Gordon for the
Gordon riots. sat from one morning I'M
til 8 the next. and 1t was not until It be-
came a physical impossibility to finish

that they had power to adjourn. And

DELAY IN THE REPORTS
ON ANTITRUST BILLS
House Committee Not Likely to
Have Legislation Ready
Before May.
Review of Situation Believed to Be
Necessary-Fear Of Impair
ing Sherman Law.

Reports on the trust bills now in process
Of preparation before committees Of Con-
gress will not be completed before May,
according to the appearance Of the COM
mittee calendars and subcommittee work
yesterday. Although the interstate and
foreign commerce committee will en-
deavor to finish the trade commission
bills in fortnight. the rest of the anti
trust legislation is presenting more diff
cult problems than had been expected.
The democrats in Congress know that
trust legislation must be enacted in order
TO carry out the democratic party's
pledge; but 1t is equally essential, in
their opinion. to consider the situation
so carefully that no mistakes be made.
Underwood Is Anxious.
Representative Underwood of Alabama,
ma jority leader of the House, is par
ticularly solicitous that nothing be done
which would endangcr the effectiveness
of the Sherman law Though not
member of the judiciary committee. WHICH
has under consideration the bills to sup
plement the Sherman act, he Is giving
studious attention to the so-called def
nitions'' bill. which many men. in and
out of Congress. fear might work more
harm than good in the regulation of big
1T is a grave question whether there
should be bill to define restraints of
trade in violation of the Sherman law,
said Mr. Underwood IF such supple
mental legislation to the Sherman act
will reopen the law to court interpreta-
ton we might find that we had increased
rather than reduced the debatable area
surrounding the act
IF definition of the bill is reported
there is certain to be considerable opPo-
sition to it There will be little 1t any op-
position to the creation OF an interstate
trade comm ssion or to bill which would
provide for government regulation OF rail-
road securities.
Senate Considering Subject.
a trade commission bill may be report
ed from the Senate committee on inter-
state commerce ahead of the House bill,
but as to other features of proposed trust
legislation the Senate committee will re-
ouire time for consideration of the House
bills after they are completed there. Sen
ator Newlands. chairman of the commit
tee, said that his committee contemplated
no further hearings until House hearings
had been concluded.
Party leaders agreed that the trust
question will precipitate long debate in
both houses. and if some of the proposed
measures do not reach either house before
May. adjournment by June l seems I'M
likely.

DEVICE FOR LIGHTING
PATH Of AEROPLANE
Inventors Claim Safety in Landing
Is Acknowledging Canal
Project.
BERLIN, February 10. 1914.


Two Austrian inventors announce the
perfection of light bomb which Will
make safe the landing by aeroplane at
night. The device. which is attached to
an aeroplane and may be released at Will,
is fitted with parachute and burns four
minutes, illuminate all the country be-
low In a recent test the bomb. released
at a height of 500 yards, lighted up the
country for radius of about a mile and
a half so brightly that the aviator had no
difficulty in selecting his best landing
place. The device also can be used in
warfare for scout work at night, the aero
plane above the light being invisible.
Such device has long been needed, for
up-to-date aviation is calling for flights at
night in order to break long-distance
flight records and to take advantage OF
wind still hours. Most of the competitors
in the last grand prize race in Germany
accomplished parts of their flights by
night, but this was so hazardous that
number of aviators were killed in trying
to land in the dark.

Record Of Sixty Years.

The Berlin fire department has re-
markable record for few fatalities among
it's fire fighters. In sixty years only nine
teen men have lost their lives In the serv-
ice, the last case being that of Deputy
Chief Grabow, who just died Of injuries
received in fighting factory fire. For
twenty-five years, from 1883 to 1873. there
was not a single fatality. The less dan
gerous conditions here, as compared with
those in New York, are due largely to the
absence of high buildings and firetraps.
Engines and trucks also make less haste
on the way to fires. Only three fatalities

From Leipzig by Canal to Sea.
Plans to connect the city of Leipzig by
canal to the sea have been taken up anew
and in earnest canal association
formed by interested cities along the pro-
posed routes has secured assurances Of
government support and has engaged en-
gineers to consider details.N Two routes
are proposed, one to connect Leipzig with
the canal from Berlln TO the Ddllc sea
at Stettin, while the other would run
west of Leipzig to the Saale river. Inc
| first project alone, it is estimated, would
cost about S16,000OOO.
Persons who tried to bride or reward

anonymous letters containing money.
Most of the money came to army officials.

government was represented. Persons
sending such gifts render themselves
liable to prosecution for insult and at
tempted bribery of public officials.
