$4,000 J0BLESS IN
CHICAGO LOCKOUT

Chicago, April 17.-Sixteen thou
SAND union carpenters, striking for an
increase of 5 cents an hour, were un
der the ban of a lockout order by their
former employers. Painters, fathers,
plasterers and sheet metal workers
found themselves in similar circum.
stances, and enough allied trades
were affected to bring the total of
idle men beyond $4,000.
The decision OF sheet metal con-
tractors TO join the fight against the
unions was a blow to the latter, as
the labor leaders had hoped that en-
ployers in hat line would try to per-
petuate conditions which, by barring
outside material, 1t was declared, gave
local concerns a monopoly on such
work in this city.
While the action of the sheet metal
contractors probably will open the
gates for competition from outside
communities the more immediate eff
feet will be to save the local employ
ers the bonds they deposited to In
sure cooperation with employers OF
other trades.

No Place to Play

Plenty Of room for dives and dens.
Glitter and glare and sin;
Plenty OK room for prison pens
Gather the criminals In.
But never a place for the lads to race
No; never a place to playl
Plenty of room for schools and halls,
Plenty OF room for art,
Plenty of room for teas and balls.
Platform, stage and mart.
Proud is the city-she find a place
For many a lad today,
But she's more han blind IL she falls to
find
A place for the boys TO play.
Give them a chance for innocent sport,
Give them a nance for fun.
Better a playground plot than a court
And jail when the harm Is done.
Give them "A chance. IL you stint them
now
Tomorrow you'll have TO pay
A larger bill for a darker i'll,
50 give them a place to play.

TRUTH TRIUMPHS
Madison Citizens Testify for the Pub
lie Benefit.

A truthful statement of a Madison
citizen, given in his own words,
should convince the most skeptical
about the merits of Doan's Kidney
pills. If you suffer from backache,
nervousness. sleeplessness, urinary
disorders or any form of kidney ills,
use a tested kidney medicine.
A Madison citizen tells of Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convinc-
ing proof OF merit?
William Morgan, 900 West Fifth
street, Madison, says: II suffered
from weakness of the kidneys and
bladder. The kidney secretions were
highly colored, too frequent in pass
age and contained sediment. l used
Doan's Kidney Pills and they made
me much better in every way"
Price so cents at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Morgan had. Foster-Milburn

DENY BETSY ROSS
DESIGNED U. S. FLAG.
Historical Societies Oppose Plan For
Monument on Grave.

The Introduction of a bill in the
Pennsylvania legislature providing $780,
600 for the erection of a monument
owe the grave of Betsy Ross, in Mount
Morlah cemetery, Philadelphia, as the
maker OF the first United States flag,
has aroused adverse comment among
members of historical and patriotic
hereditary organizations, who declare
that the story of Betsy Ross is too OBJ
scure TO receive the formal stamp of
approval by the state.
Such official recognition also, they
assert, will Tend to substantiate the be
lief by many that Betsy Ross actually
designed the stars and stripes, and
thus cause further inaccuracies i'm or
der to perpetuate "a merely popular
and picturesque tradition of American
history"
Even the story of the house on Arch
street, which is believed by many to
have been the home OF Betsy Ross.
and the legend that the first flag was
made there, Is not taken seriously by
them.
There are no deeds on record, they
say, to show that the house now desig-
mated as 'the birthplace OF Old Glory"
Is authentic.
Betsy Ross was a seamstress In the
employ of the government during the
Revolution, making uniforms and stand
ards" said al officer of one of the so
cieties. 1T is possible she may have
sewed the flags together; but, as to the
story that Betsy Ross actually design
ed the stars and stripes, nothing could
be more ridiculous"

CALLS STATEMENT HUMBUG
Brotherin-Law of Madero Discusses
Huerta's Plea Of ignorance.

Seattle, Wash, April 17.-"That's all
humbug," said Colonel M. Perez Rom
ero, recently appointed Carranza min.
lister to Japan, and brother of Mrs.
Francisco Madero, widow of the late
president of Mexico, when shown a
copy of a statement issued in New
York by General Victoriano Huerta,
former provisional president of Mex.
leo, disclaiming responsibility for the
death of Mr.. Madero.
"Disregarding the question of who
actually shot President Madero the
fact remains" said Colonel Romero,
that General Huerta was in power
and could command the armed forces
of the country. President Madero
was his prisoner and while in his
power was assassinated. How Huer.
Ia a attempt to evade responsibility
fer his death is inconceivable."

Paris Editor Blames Education of
American Women.

Education among the women OF
America Is producing a third sex, Bos-
ton society people are being told by
Robert Hughes lie Roux, editor OF lie
Matin, Paris, who Is visiting that city
with his American wife, formerly Mrs.
John Van Worst, sister-in-law of Marie
Van Worst, the novelist.
81 have made n particular study OF
American women students" says NJ.
LIE Roux, "and found that the tendency
Is to produce a nonproductive sex.
"The business woman is also a mem
Der of the third sex. She demands an
equality with men and the privileges
chivalrous men have bestowed on
women as well.
"The chief trouble lies with the edu-
cation Of American women. Women
were not meant by nature for such
education.
"In France we recognize but one vo-
cation for Il woman-marriage. The
Frenchwomen prefer being loved to be-
ing worshiped."

Does Not Like Action of Government
in Changing Dacia.

Cable advices to the British for
cign Office at London Thursday said
that loading of the Hamburg-A1neri-

Texas, had been suspended. The
hope is entertained in official circles
that the United States will not per-
nit this former German vessel, valid
ity Of whose transfer to American
registry is questioned, to enter the
German cotton trade.
The Washington suggestion that
the Dacia might carry cotton to Rot
terdam instead OF Bremen is not re-
garded by British officials as offering
solution. The foreign Office is not
disposed to decide precisely what &C
ton will be taken until it is known
positively that the Dacia has salleG
for Germany under the American
flag. Even then it is probable, a
prominent official intimated. that her
cargo would be permitted to reach its
destination, but the vessel detained ii
