Glasgow, March. IL. -- Militant

message was left in the vicinity stat
ing ''this is in revenge for the brutal
arrest, Of Mrs. Pankhurst." "A. -.
London, March 12.-Miss May Rich

."Rokeby Venus" at the National gall
lery Tuesday, when sentenced to six
months imprisonment by a jury in
Bow street police court, argued with
the JtIdge who pronounced tl1e sem
tence, declaring the government was
slowly killing Mrs. Pankhurst. .
AddressinT, Judge Robert Wallace,
who presided, Miss Richardson said;
II am an art student, but care more
for Justice than for art. I firmly be-
lieye that when the nation shuts it's
eyes to justice and allows women who
are fighting for justice to be maltreat-
ed and tortured, such an action as
mine should be understandable.
1.-THE slow and premeditated murder
of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst Is the
ultimatum which has made necessary
the recent acts of her followers. The
nation seems to be dead or asleep, for
we women have knocked vainly at the
doors Of ministers, bishops and arch
bishops and even of the king himself"

LAKE NAVIGATION

Superior, Wis, March 12.--Every in

of navigation in the history of the
Great Lakes. The unusually mild
winter did not make much ice and OF
late the sun has been shining every
day, heavy thaws being reported.
Sleighing Is ended and the snow is
fast disappearing.
The earliest opening Of navigation
on Lake Superior was on April 1,
1883. Unless decided cold spell sets
in, boats will be sailing out OF this
harbor before the last of the month.
In view OF this condition ship own
ers are&g getting ready to AT out and. it

One name PAPER
IS FAVORED

New York, March 12.-At meet
ing of New York business men under
the auspices of the Merchants as
ISOLATION ten voted for and thirty
nine against the substitution of, two
name "for one-name" commercial
securities to be presented to the
federal reserve banks for rediscount.
The prevailing sentiment Of the
meeting was that "one- name" paper
having been in circulatiols in this city
for many years, it would be difficult
to change the practice, especially in
the case of firms obliged to, carry a
large number of small accounts. To
secure two names to the paper re-
sulting in this case would be vexatious
and serve no particular purposes, 1t
was held. $s s n tss
The additional bookkeeping in
banks due to limiting the rediscount
by the reserve banks to "two-name''
paper was also cited as an argument
against the recommendation made re-
Gently by the New York Clearing
house.

rs
Tom Powers appeared recently before
the city commission to see about get
ting some property lines Strengthened
out. Mr.. Powers and Mrs. Schmidt
Russell have property, the street lines
of which have never been definitely
settled and in order to get the matter
Strengthened out to the satisfaction of
everyone, it has been decided to start
a friendly suit and let the courts set
tie the affair.
There is no controversy, in the usual
sense of that word. All the parties to
the affair." including the city officials,
wish to get the lines set right. Mr..
Powers stated this morning that he
did not want part Of the street or any
other property that did not belong to
him. He merely wishes to have his
property lines rightly defined. The
property in question is on Fourth
avenue north between Broadway and
Roberts street.

BRYAN BELIEVES
IN POSTAL VOTE

Annapolis, Md, March 12-Secre-
tary Of State William J. Bryan, yes
terday, said he hoped that not only
would this country borrow the initia
tive and referendum, as it had bor-
rowed the Australian ballot, but that
in time it would adopt the postal vote.
The postal vote Of New Zealand al
lows a citizen, though away from
home, to cast his vote on an election
and have it counted.
The occasion of Mr.. Bryan's state
ment was an address he made on the
initiative and referendum before the
Maryland legislature. A bill providing
for the measure is pending.
Besides Governor Goldsborough and
the members Of the legislature many
persons from all over the state were
present.
Secretary Bryan said he believed
there is more virtue in the people"
than ever finds expression in their
representatives. A representative
should not violate his conscience eth
er in public or private matters. and
when he feels that he cannot do what
his constituents conservatively want
him to do he should return his COM
mission. -''-N5 -
"I believe the, crime Of misrepresen-
tation is greater than private en-
bezzlement,". said Mr.. Bryan. "And
when you, get Misrepresentation your
officeholder, can laugh at you, while
he is drawing a salary from the treas
ury and doing as he pleases."
"You need not be afraid to change
your opinion on the question Of the
initiative and referendum" the sec
retary concluded. President Wilson
changed his opinion and was not
ashamed. He said he had been teach
ing the students at Princeton that the
initiative and referendum was wrong,
but when he found he was wrong he
was not ashamed to say so."

Mr.. Robbins why he left the Baptist
church. ..-
"Did you leave the Baptist church?'
he was asked by Judge Welch,. "be-
cause it's laws are so free?"
II left 1t because the combined gent

was insufficient to change the geogra-
ply of Manhattan Island" he replied
because We could not find site," he
added when the laughter subsided.
Didn't you have money, enough?"
asked the judge. " "< ~

Sir II hold no brief, etc" Every man

gresham holds the peoples brief to
contend squarely for the fair treat

In your Fargo Forum letter you

Parkins and others you really had

indignant at being misquoted oy you,

If q man will openly help the beef

to act or by active aid, against Indians
who are crushed and helpless, he will
secretly assist any trust whatever
against white men also. l hoped to

Meg. Beede.
Hekton, n. D., P. E. Norton, M. c..
Our correspondence about Indian mat
ter may as we'll close. l must hold
you to your Fargo Forum letter, Sir.
In that letter you do not say there is
distress on the reservation owing pri-
marily to the beef trust cattle, but
you give the impression that there is
no distress and has been no distress.
You try to cover up facts, Sir.
You are well acquainted with the
reservation and so you do know that
the primary force crushing Indian
industry which was slightly but truly
progressive was the beef-trust cattle,
a privileged class, Sir. But in your
Fargo Forum letter you are as silent
regarding this privileged class Of cat
tie as any beef trust Lord could have
wished you to be, Sir, Later, in the
letter I am now answering. you say
'T have no defence to interpose for
any beef trust or cattle combine or
for any one who deals unfairly with
Indians" Such a general statement
means nothing, Sir. Why did you not
say, I am ready to oppose to the ut
most the beef trust and all trusts and
anyone who deals unfairly with Indi-
ans or white men, or words to that
effect? But. "Out of the abundance
Of the heart the mouth speaks" Sir.
An ordinary mans cattle running
loose on this reservation are promptly
taken UP and made to pay damages,
and made to stay where they belong.
This is the law, Sir. Why not deal
x,;kt. h,r the
same law governing other men,, Sir?
Why, Sir, have you not positively de-
manded this? Because, Sir, with your
full knowledge and total lack Of ac-
tive opposition these beef trust cat
tie are privileged class. You say.

San Francisco, March 11.-Liver

disappeared from the tables Of
all households and restaurants of
San Francisco, yesterday, follow
ing a stormy executive session of
the Retail Butchers association.
Liver, the butchers say, used to
be given away with dressed car
-casses. Then the wholesalers ask
ed 25 cents liver and got it. Now
the wholesalers are asking 25 cents
a pound, but rather than pay it,
the butchers unanimously resolv-
ed not to carry it at all.
J-r!ces are toe high all along he
line say the retailers, particularly
On veal, against which they threat
en- also to declare a boycott.
Fifteen cents pound for car
casses Of calves, they believe, is
beyond reason, and 1919 cents for
beef is cents too high.
