OMAHA, Neb., May 1S.-Mrs. Edith
Hicks, Il years of age, testifying in
tones barely audible, told a jury in
Judge Testers district court on re
cent afternoon of the alleged forcible
taking of kiss by Albert A. Clark,
wealthy resident of Council Bluffs,
which is the basis of her suit against
him for $4,000 damages.
81 had been in his home for three
days" she testified, when a letter
came demanding $75 from my husband.

of loaning money and | showed him
the letter and asked him for loan of
$75. He told me to go up to the sleep
ing porch.
Il went up there by the outside en-
trance. 1 supposed he was going to
write check. He came up from the
inside of the house. Just as l got to
the door he grabbed me and threw me
on a davenport.
HE kissed me and disarranged my
clothes. l screamed and tried to get

BIC FILTRATION
PLANT DEDICATED
(By Associated Press J

ST. LOUIS, Ma, May 18.-What is
said to be the largest filtration plant
in the world was dedicated today at
the Chain of Rocks, the site of the St
Louis city waterworks on the Missis-
sippi river at the extreme northern
end of the city.
The filtration plant cost $1,300,000,
and is so large that 15O,OO00OO gallons
of water can pass through it every
twenty-four hours, absolutely pure;
and in case of emergency this can be
Increased to 2OO,O0O,OOO gallons.
The openig of the filtration plant is
the last step deemed necessary for
years to come to assure st. Louis of
clear water The city's water is taken
from the muddy Mississippi river, and
first is given a chemical treatment
that precipitates the solids and foreign
matter. The water then passes into
series of settling pans from which
it emerges clear. For years this sys-
tenn was sufficient to assure the city
clear water, but as the demands fol
water grew with the growth of the
city, it was noticed that in hot weather
or when the river was unusually mud
dy, the water was drawn through the
settling basins so fast that it poure&
out of the faucets slightly discolored.
I The grea sand filter was then built
The water now will pass from the set
thing basins into the filter and thence
into the mains. The filter, it is believ
ed by engineers, will assure the people
of st. Louis absolutely clear watel
throughout the hottest weather.
For years, St. Louis struggled will
the problem of clarifying the mudd!
river water, and when the settling pro
cess was devised it attracted attention
in engineering circles throughout th'
world.
The dedicatOry exercises today wer
attended by many delegates from tn
convention of the American Waite
Works association, which met at Gin
cinnati, May 10.

LONDON, May 17.-"This is war of

an officer of the British General Staff
in letter sent to his home town for

a splash in the midst of the carefully

of the town and the picturesque force
gathering there:
I'VE have been lying for four days
in Iand-locked harbor, where the
French and English troops are con-
centrating for their campaign against
the Turks. The war has brought a
weird transformation to some of these
sleepy Mediterranean towns, a trans
formation that will mean permanent
changes to most of them. They will be
modernized in many respects, and the
road building and dock-making and
general house-cleaning which the sold
iers are doing will work almost revo-
luton in the towns and their inhabi-
tants.
''This place is most interesting just
now with its prosperous garrison OF
French troops-chasseurs d'Africque
on their superb Arab horses, Senegal
ese infantry, black as my hat, and
Frenchmen in their blue tunics and
red trousers. The Senegalese have
odd little tents dotting a wholeh i'll
side, each eight feet long, four fee
wide, and only two feet high, in the
middle of which siv men sleep. Dur.

make a sort of awning of it, under
which they sit. The officers are al

not hesitate to entrust with the most im-
portant phases of its business, why are
they considered to have an inferior men
tality when IL comes to determining the
personnel of our Government?
Everywhere | saw the advantages that
accrued TO men because they had poll
tica value. They were the unit on which
the politicians had absolutely to depend.
The majority got the legislation 1t want
ed by the most direct means They
simply voted for what they wanted or for
the candidate who would give 1t to them.
Women, OH the other hand. had TO re-
sort TO CircumspeCtion and indirect In
nuence. Politically she was a nonentity.
! thought of the millions Of women who
ate working today and whose children
are working. who have absolutely no
voice In the government that rules them,
and II seemed to me that apart from the
simple justice Of the thing, the withhold
ing of the franchise from our sex placed
upon us u stigma of inferiority which we
as antis were not only admitting, but
were actually rejoicing In.
once these convictions firmly fixed
themsel in my mind the whole sub
ject became matter of conscience with
me and l knew that not only could not
work for the antis any more, but
couldn't even keep quiet in regard to my
new beliefs. BY ceasing to be an anti
had become a suffragist, and as such I
simply could not remain inactive. My
one regret is that l was not converted
long before this, so that 7 would have
longer period OF service in back of me

vindicated at the polls this fall

CARPENTERS STRIKE
THREATENED IN CITY
Local Men May Declare Walk
out if Non-union Men Go to
Chicago as "Scabs."

The causes which precipitated the
walkout of nearly 5000 carpenters in
Chicago may bring on similar strike
in this city at any time. according TO
Leonard Kraft, secretary OF the Building
Trades Council OF Philadelphia and
vicinity II the conditions now existing
in Chicago are duplicated here, he said,
there will be strike. There are about
1OOO non-union carpenters in this city, he
said. who might go to Chicago TO take
the place Of strikers.
"'rne strike i'm Chicago" said Mr. Kraft,
"is the result o. the installation in build
ings of shcet-metal parts. in substitution
for hard wood. by sheet-metal workers in
stead OF carpenters. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor decreed that the work
belongs to the sheet-metal workers, as
result of which the Chicago Brotherhood
OF Carpenters withdrew from the Building
Trades Council and declared the strike.
Higher wages are demanded by the car
penters for the loss of the work trans
ferred to the metal workers.
Some builders are substituting sheet
metal for hard wood in this city," said
MIR Kraft, but not to an extent to justify
any action by the carpenters here. The
effect of this also is partly lost because
building operations are slack here at
present. If the metal should be used az
much here as in Chicago and the work of
installation taken from the carpenters.
the Philadelphia union would take action
similar to that in Chicago"
