EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN.
Illinois State Boaro Puts Employees on
Same Basis as That of Men.

Chicago, Aug. ll.--Equal suffragists
were iubilant yesterday, according to
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president OF
the Illinois Equal Suffrage association,
over the action of the state board of adj
ministration, which Monday deoreed that
women employed in state institutions
shall receive the same pay as men where
they do the same work. Mrs. Trout
issued statement declaring the new
recognition of the equality of women Is
an answer to those who express doubt Of
the value of the franchise to women.
"IlIinois women can vote, and students
Of political economy know that no class
of persons in history deprived of voice
in the government have ever received fair
treatment by the government" said Mrs.
Trout. "The action of the state board
is economically sound" continued Mrs.
Trout. at protects the men, for where
women receive the same compensation
as men the temptation to replace the
men with equally capable women at a
lower rate of pay is removed"
The new regulations provide that the
same minimum scale OF wages shall apply
to men and women employed in state in
stitutions; that all employees shall have
one day OF rest in seven, with an auto
matte promotional wage scale, and that
changes from night TO day service shall
be made weekly instead of monthly, as
has been the practice.

AIR RAID
ON BRITAIN
Thirteen in All Dead as Re-
suit of German Yep
pelin Raid 49,
ON EAST COAST
OF ENGLAND
One German Airship Is De-
stroyed as Kaiser's Flying
Squadron Makes. Attack

London, Aug. 1.-THE British east
coast was raided by a German air squad
ron yesterday morning 1t was officially
announced yesterday afternoon that 10
persons were killed and II wounded. A
Zeppelin participating in the raid was
brought down and destroyed.
The first bulletin made public by the
admiralty did not state how many Yep
pelins were in the raiding party and
whether they were accompanied by aero
planes. The fact that the expression
aair squadron" was used makes it APP
pear probable that yesterdays raid was
the greatest since the beginning of the
war.
The zeppelin brought to earth yester
day is the first positively known to have
been wrecked while on mission OF de-
struction to England. Only recently one
OF Germany's million dollar diriglbles
was destroyed over Belgium by the Brit
ish aviator Regnilda Wrentford, who
was killed a few days later on French
flying field.
Several weeks ago Zeppelin, return
ing from fight over London, was at
tackled by British aviators high above
the English channel and seriously dam
aged. It's complete destruction was I'M
officially reported, but never confirmed
by the admiralty.
Amsterdam, Aug. lo.--Five Zeppelins
were sighted off the Island OF Vlieland,
near the entrance to the Zuider Zee,
early yesterday, cruising in northwest
erly direction, according to dispatches re-
ceived here.
Their course, if maintained, would have
taken them to the coast Of Scotland.
Yesterdays air raid on the British
coast, the 18th since the beginning of
the war. increased the total number of
victims from German air attacks on Eng
lish towns to so. A total of POI persons
have been wounded, accepting the Brit
ish admiralty's figures.
The bombardment of Hartlepool, Scar
borough and Whitby by German warships
several months ago cost the lives of l27
civilians and 567 persons were wounded.

England
$12,000,000 HAY CROP
is CUT IN HALVES
Potato Crop Has Been Prac-
tically Ruined by the
Heavy Rains

Boston, Aug. ll.-Losses amounting tc
millions OF dollars in Massachusetts, alone
have been caused by the heavy rains
which have deluged New England in thu
past few weeks, according to Wilfric
Wheeler, secretary of the state board Of
agriculture. Mr.. Wheeler, who has just
returned from trip round the state &c
observe the effect Of the heavy rains and
wind, said that many of the best crop:
have been ruined.
The secretary said that the potato
crop has been practically destroyed anc
that the hay crop is not half that in q
normal year, Other crops hit particular
" hard are squash, cranberry and to-
bacco. Mr.. Wheeler said that the out
look for the tobacco and onion planta.
tions in the Connecticut valley was very
discouraging.
"The agricultural situation in Massa
chusetts looks very bad" said MIR. Wheel.

The hay crop in this state for a normal
year amounts to Sl2,000,000 and this year
it will be cut in halves. Much OF the
hay that has been cut viii never be har-
vested and in the meadows and lowlands
the floods are so bad that it will not be
possible to cut any more hay this year.

ing OF most of the potatoes. The corn
will not amount to much, particularly
fodder corn in the lowlands. The heavy
winds OF last week beat down most OF
the corn that escaped the floods.
'If September is unusually mild 1T
NAV help some of the late crops and
improve conditions somewhat. The price
of hay is about S32 ton. II has not
reached that figure in Massachusetts in
any other year since the CIVIL war Veg
etables and garden truck are selling for
fairly low prices now. The reason, |
think, is that people have less money to
spend and the bad weather has kept
people away from the summer resorts.
During ordinary years the summer ho-
tells buy immense quantities of yege-
tables, but this year the demand from
this source is very light"
Secretary Wheeler said that the fruit
growers have not suffered much yet, but
ii the rain continues, plums and peaches
will spoil. This is comparatively light
apple year, and the few apples on the
trees have not been injured.
Massachusetts, and New England are
not alone in suffering from inelement
weather. Mr.. Wheeler said that the
Middle West had had even more rain
than Massachusetts, and the corn and al
falfa crops are way below the average.
