Mrs. Stegler Writes President That She
Was to Be Given $3.50 a Month
By Boy-Ed While Her Husband Was
Abroad
By associated Press.

Washington, Feb. 27.-President
Wilson to-day received letter from
Mn. Richard ?. Stegler, wife of the
German reservist arrested in New
York ON charge of fraudulently OBJ
tanning an American passport declaring
that Stegler had been led into the pro-
ject by Captain Boy Ed, German naval
attache here. Mrs. Stegler asked that
her husband be set free. Her letter was
referred to the Department of Justice
which is in charge of the investigation
into the case.
Mrs. Stegler wrote the President that
her husband had been promised $3.50
a month for her support by Captain
Boy-Ed while abroad and that she
would be given $3.50 month for life
if he was killed. She declared she had
no money now and did not know how
she could support herself unless her
husband were released
'When the secret service men came
to see my husband" wrote Mrs. Steg-
Ter, "he told them the truth, because
he wanted everything to be known. He
could have burned the passports and
saved himself from being accused of
forgery, but he came right out and told
everything"

VIRGINIA WOMEN To

Suffragists From South and West
Will Participate in State
Campaign

Many prominent Suffragists of the
West and South, who have already OBJ
tanned the vote or who are able to
spare the. time from their own states
begin i'm earnest until next year, have
volunteered to help in the campaign
in Pennsylvania. They are doing this
purely in the spirit of good comrade-
ship.
Among the most distinguished of
these women is Mrs. b. b. Valentine,
president of the Equal Suffrage League
of Virginia, who is now speaking IN
the vicinity of Harrisburg. She has
done more than any one other person
to overcome the conservatism that had
made many people fear that the Old
Dominion State would never come to
look with favor on the idea of women
voting. Her womanly charm and con-
means of working this seeming miracle.

PUBLIC SERVICE
BILLS ANALYZED
Series Drafted by Counsel Would
Make For Efficiency and
Economy in Work

Several bills amending the Public
Service Company law have been in
produced into the legislature and in
the event of their passage they would
materially aid in expediting the work
of the Commission and would remove
many causes of complaints that come
from parties interested in cases.
One of them does away with the ne
cessity of obtaining approval of the
joint use of poles.
Another precludes the necessity of
having every contract, that a public
service company makes with a muni-
.cipality, first approved by the Com
mission. The amendment, however,
retains the Commissions regulatory
control over competition and retains
the same control over service and
rates which have been made the sub
ject of contract with a municipality.
Another amendment gives the Com
mission the power to appoint eNamin-
ers to take testimony and evidence
anywhere in the State. The effect of
this would be that people interested in
complaints could save the time and
expense of coming to the State Capt.
tol.
The payment of witness fees, so as
the payment of the fees of witnesses
who are summoned by the Commission
as distinguished from those summoned
by the parties, is regulated by another
bill. Under the present act the State
is obliged to pay the witness fees and
mileage of all witnesses summoned
under the subpoena of the Commits
sion even though they be a party to
the proceeding.
Another, and very important
amendment, gives the Commission dis
cretion to suspend rates proposed to
be charged. pending the determination
of their reasonableness.
These proposed amendments have
the approval of the Commission.
bill amending the act will also
likely be introduced amending the
crossing provisions so as to do away
with the necessity of advance approval
of crossings other than those between
the railroads, street railways and high
ways, but it proposes to retain the
Commissions power to regulate all
crossing upon complaint or upon its
own motion.

GAME BOUNTY LAW
MAKES 4 TANGLE
Enforcement Will Be Held Up
Until a New Bill Can Be
Drafted by Officials

Officials of the State Game Commis-
within a short time to devise some
means of drafting a bill that will meet
the approval of Governor Martin c.
Brumbaush for the specific appropr-
alton of the share of the revenue from
hunters licenses to be devoted to game
protection and propagation. The Gov
ernor's veto of the Wobensmith bill
carrying an appropriation of $334,O00
for salaries and expenses of the com
mission is declared to have tied up all
of the plans for establishing new game
preserves, and increasing the force of
game wardenS from thirty to sixty as
provided in a bill Just passed and to
have halted the movement to place
the bounty supervision in the hands
of the commission. A bill providing
that all bounties shall be paid by the
State through the office of the Game
Commission was approved by the Gov
ernor at the same time that he vetoed
the other bill. II is explained that
the funds at hand will not permit the
commission sufficient funds to start
the enforcement of the new act. 1t
was planned to get everything ready
and to start paying bOunties on June
], when the proposed appropriation
was to become available. In his veto
the Governor expressed the desire that
a bill that did not increase salaries,
but would provide for other expenses
of the commission should be drafted.
What the game officials will endeavor
TO find out is what the Governor wants
To do about expenses whether they
should be carried in the general APP
preparation bill or put into a bill sep
arate from the specific appropriation
for game protection and propagation.
The way 1t stands now they contend
