Fooled by Court.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Every woman
registering in Chicago must tell her
age before she can vote. This was
the official announcement made by
Judge John E. Owens of the county
court.
Judge Owens decision came in the
form of communication addressed
to Chief Clerk William II. Stuart of
the board of election commissioners
There is no valid reason why wo-
man should not be required to give
their ages when they register" said
Judge Owens. 81 invited women to
meet me on Thursday merely as a
matter Of courtesy and to see if they
could advance any valid reasons why
they should be exempted from the
age proposition. They advanced no
reasons and I have therefore ordered
that they must give their ages at the
time they register"

"ExT0RT|oN," SAYS
Man GIRL ACCUSES
Fort Wayne Resident lured TO
Michigan and Arrested.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 31.-"EXtortion"
said John A. Cox, alleged to be Henry
c. Barner, wealthy Fort Wayne bus
mess man, in denying the charges
made by Helen Bornfieth, who had
him arrested on capias in a $4,000
breach of promise suit.
Cox denies that his name is Bar.
Ier, and said that he has been resi-
dent of Detroit irregularly since 1881.
He declares that he is in business in
Springfield, ILL.,, and that he has been
divorced from his wife for five or six
years. He was lured here by a long
distance call from the woman. Miss
Bornfieth alleges that she became &C
quainted with Cox when he went to a
hotel in Mt. Clemens to take the
baths. She charges that he proposed
marriage August IA, and that under
this promise the two stayed at the
Mt. Clemens hotel and at the Pont.
chartrain in Detroit.
Cox said she proposed marriage to
him, and says he has letters to prove
it. He said that she lured him to
Detroit by pretending that she had
fallen heiress to large fortune, and
wished advice as how best to invest
the money. He was arrested on a
Toledo interurban car.

WHY SHOULD THE RICH SHIPS
 USE CANAL FREE OF CHARGE
 WHILE THE POOR SHIPS PAY,

II E FREE TOLLS proposition does not
 III make strong appeal to business men. The business view as q rule, is that the canal was built primarily for use in war and second arily, for its economic benefit
 Upon this view. it should either be free to ALL American ships, or ALL should PAY to- ward its maintenance.
 It cost S4oO,o GOO to dig the canal, and it will cost perhaps s240oo,o0o annually to pay interest on bonds, maintain 1t, and defend 1t.
 The American people would have to bear all of these charges if the canal were free.
 H theref fore, the canal were made free to the coastWise shipping, the country would be presenting those ship owners with sum equal annually, to $2,oOOQoo or more This would be a ship subsidy, and nothing else.
 96songressnan Donovan, in discussing the tolls problem, is emphatically opposed to free tolls, and directs attention to . phase that has been little discussed
 America desires to build up merchant marine, and to create ships for trade with for #eigh ports Great as this desire is, the Ameri-. can people have always refused to slbsidize a merchant marine.
 Now the merchant marine the ships en- gagged in trade with foreign ports, are to pay for the useof the canal, There is nobody who says these ships ought not to pay. But they are the ships least able to pay. There are few CT of them. They do smaller business If the people are to grant subsidy the merchant marine needs if. #
 But coastwises vessels are numerous Their owners are rich and powerful. This shipping does large and prosperous business. So Congressman Donovan asks this ares- ton If the canal is to be free to some Amer can ships, and if subsidy is to be paid to some shpis, and not to other ships, why should it bs; free to the numerous, rich and prosperous shipping of the coastWise shipping trust, and why should it be pay canal for the scanty, i'm poverislled and humble ships of the merchant marine ??'
