WILSON TAINTED
BY SUFFRAGISTS
Greatest Little Evader" is Term
Applied to President by Two
Women at New York.
THEY CAUSE A SCENE AT HOTEL

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Mrs. Stan
ley Mccormick, vice president of the
National Woman Suffrage associs-
ton, in a statement declared that the
National association had no SYM
pathy with the act of the two women
suffragists who today caused scene
by trying TO reach President Wilson
in the hotel where he was the guest
of honor at luncheon.
They were taken in hand by secret serv-
ice men, but prior to this they had sue

letter for the president II was written
on the stationery Of the National execu-
tive committee Of the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage, and appealed to the
president for his powerful aid TO remove
the political disabilities Of women"
"Greatest Little Evader."
The women suffrarists eluded tho
heavy guard stationed in the hotel and
succeeded in reaching the floor where
the president was and managed to see
Secretary Tumulty and gave him a letter
to be delivered to the president. AS Mr..
Tumulty was walking away from the
door. one OF the women exclaimed:
Mr.. Wilson is the greatest little evadey
know"
Mr.. Tumulty told the women they were
impolte and would receive no answer to
their letter.
The women went TO the lobby and
waited. They told reporters il would be
useless for the president to attempt to
elude them.
III necessary we'll hire a tug and 20
out to the Mayflower to see him." one Of
them said.
When the president left the room where
the luncheon was held the two women
who had returned, stepped out Of an
anteroom, and, confronting him, ex-
claimed:
Votes for women! Votes for women!
Mr.. President, we have q message for
you"
They got no further in their appeal

WASHINGTON, May 17--Votes for

industrial relations here today by Mrs
Chrystal Eastman Benedict of New York,
representing the Congressional Union for
Woman Suffrage
Mrs Benedict declared the commission
should Immediately report to President
Wilson advocating a federal constitutional
amendment for national woman suffrage.
Commissioner Lennon suggested that
the commission could only report to con-
gress, and that congress would not be in
session until December.
Il had thought Of that, too" said Mrs.
Benedict. Make the report to Wilson
Wilson can do it. II you would make
him understand that the future of the
democratic party depends upon this issue
we would get suffrage. You could let him
know about 1t without making a formal

Receiving no answer, he repeated:

A thick and tired voice articulated
the words:

There was a murmur in court. But
the judge retorted:

He seemed not to have heard the

appeared to think, and then, making
a violent effort, muttered:

of several of them was insignificant;
others delivered more important tes-

acteristic in common, which was that
each contradicted the other. The
trial was shrouded in a puzzling OBJ
security until Chief Inspector Cant
mard was called, when the general
interest," woke up.
Nevertheless, the old detective
caused a certain disappointment from
the first. He seemed not so much
shy-he was too old hand for that
las restless and i'll at ease. He kept
turning his eyes with visible embar-
rassment toward the prisoner. II
was obvious that he was under the
influence of some obsession. The
judge said:
"If you are not feeling we'll, you
can stand down and continue your
evidence later"

trating look-a at the prisoner, and said

coming the official gazette of the ex-

to be one of the principal sharehold-

his attempted escape. The exact text
of the letters exchanged between the
prisoner and his mysterious woman
friend, the part played by the police
the drive along the Boulevard Saint
Michel, the incident at the Cafe
Souffiot - everything was told in
print.
No one entertained any further
doubt as to Arsene Lupin's coming
escape. He himself proclaimed it in
categorical terms, as was shown by
his reply to M. Bowler on the day
after the incident. The magistrate
having bantered him on the check
which he had encountered, he looked
at him and said, coldly:
Listen to me, sir, and take my
word for it: This attempted escape
formed part Of my plan of escape"
Il don't understand" grinned the
magistrate.
"There is no need that you
should"
They changed Arsene Lupin's cell

magistrate, on his side, closed the ex-
animation and delivered the materials
for the indictment.
A two months silence ensued
These two months Arsene Lupin
passed stretched on his bed, with his
face almost constantly turned to the
wall. The change of cell seemed to
have crush shed his spirits. He refused
to see his counsel. He exchanged
hardly word with his wardens.
In the fortnight Immediately pre-
ceding his trial he seemed to revive
--e complained of lack of air. He
was sent into the yard for exercise
very early in the morning with man
on either side Of him.
And on the day before the trial a
gentleman called at the office OF the
Grand Journal, asked to see the legal
contributor, flung his card at has
head, and made a rapid exit. The
card bore the words:

man and Arsene Lupin.
The two warders from the Sante
were called. To the general aston
ishment, they recognized the pris-
oner, whom it had been their bust
ness to watch by turns. The judge
drew a breath.
But one OF the warders went on 10

prisoner, and, in a eoaxing voice,
said:

foot. Then, without word and as
though in spite of himself. he rang a
bell. The iron door opened.
A few minutes later the governor
hurried into the office, gesticulating
and pretending to be in a violent
rage. Arsene smiled.
"Come, sir, don't play game with
me! What! You take the precaution
to bring me back alone in the van,
YOU prepare a nice little block in the
traffic, and you think that l am go
ing to take to my heels and rejoin

The Escape of Arsene Lupin

"Arsene Lupin .lways keeps his
promises
1t was in these conditions that the
trial opened.
1t was raining; the light was bad
outside; it was difficult to see Arsene
Lupin when his wardens ushered him
into the dock. However, his torpid
attitude, the manner in which he let
himself fall into his chair, his indif-
ferent and passive lack of movement,
did not tell in his favor. His counsel

the great man having regarded the
part to which he was reduced as be-

no reply.
The clerk of the court read the in
dictment. Then the presiding judge
said:
Prisoner at the bar, stand up.
Give your name, your age, and youi
occupation"
The Washington herald., 1915-04-04

Might l be allowed to see the
prisoner more closely? There is d
mystery which l want to clear up"
He stepped acros to the dock,
gazed at the prisoner longer still,
concentrating all his attention upon
him, and returned to the witness box.
Then, in a solemn voice, he said:
MAY it please the court, l swear
that the man before me is not Arsenc
Lupin."
This unexpected denouemert
caused the greatest sensation in
court. Cries of laughter and aston
ishment rose from every side The

LET 4 AND STEERS DO HALF THE FARMING

So says Geo. r. James of the profitable farming campaign
WHY? Read these figures. The food production per capita
in Tennessee is S66, in Mississippi S37, Arkansas SOL. Our average
food consumption per capita in the rural communities of the south
The deficit in food production in Tennessee is $500 900, in
mississippi $85, 600, 900, in Arkansas $751; 00 600, in Memphis trade
TERRITORY nearly $100, 10000.
Why can't we feed ourselves? Can't we raise pigs and steers,
and hay and grass?
The trouble is this, as Mrs. Mathis, of Alabama, says: We
rural wealth in Illinois is So, 655, in Iowa So, 1856, Tennessee $3.50,
Mississippi 1902, Arkansas 1924. The farm wealth per capita in
Mclean county, Illinois "a food-producing community is $685..
Save these figures. Compare them with other figures which
will be given you tomorrow, but, in the meantime, remember this
that a one.crop system will impoverish any country, and in turn
will impoverish the people. 1t is only through live stock farming
and the using of our energies every day IN the year that we can
make a prosperous country.
The above, taken from Sundays Commercial Appeal, affords
us an opportunity to look into our conditions and see just where we
stand and what should be done to improve those conditions. Mr..
James has taken the trouble to study up on statistics and he sets
out very valuable lesson for our consideration.
AS Mr.. James says above, the average cost OF feeding each IN
dividual 'in rural communities of the south is about $84." In Mis-
sissippi we produce $37 of this amount, leaving a deficit of SAT,
which must be bought and paid for by the man who produces it
for US.
There is no denying the fact that we can produce our food
stuffs cheaper than the man a thousand miles away from us, and
yet we continue to buy from him and pay the cost of transportation
in addition to the profit he must have as our sales agent.
Corn can be produced here at Is cents a busheI yet we pay
frequently as high as 81 a bushel; hay can be grown at SIS per ton
~proftably, yet we buy it at from $40 to $40 per ton; meat can be
produced at 5 cents, yet we pay from 10 to Is cents per pound for
nearly all that we use. A48
Next year will be a year Of plenty because we raised this year
beautifully a supply of those things that we have been in the habit
of buying. The danger lies in our failure next year to follow the
sound policy that we adopted this year. In making your calcula-
lions for the support of the family remember that you are SAT
short on each member of the family and that unless you produce
your food supply at home you just buy it from the producer at a
distance and pay the freight. You can raise it cheaper than he
can and save the profit and the freight if you raise it.

The issues that have arisen in
The Tupelo journal., 1915-10-22

the European war have proven
that treaties are mere scraps
of paper with the belligerently
inclined when it serves their
purpose best to so regard them.
Germany disregarded her treaty
with Belgium, Italy withdrew
from her treaty relations with
Germany and Austria when she
concluded that the allies would
win and promised her compensa-
ton for her part if she would
side with them and Greece re-
fused to come to the aid of Ser
via, although she was in solemn
compact to do so. This faithless-
ness this country cannot overlook.
The advocates of peace cannot
disregard the possibilities Of war
and the president and his cabinet
should be endorsed in the effort
to meet any contingency that
may arise in dealing with for
eign nations.
The British navy is the great
preserver of the peace in times
of peace and protection in time
of war. Germany has been dis
posed a long time to question the
Monroe Doctrine. The German
admiral that threatened to sail
between Dewey and Manila
would have done so had it not
been for the answer of the British
admiral who was signaled by the
German to know what he would
do if the United States and Ger
many would there lock horns.
His reply that Nobody but
Dewey and l know what l will
do" convinced the German that
Dewey had an ally that would
stand by him.
This country cannot afford a
great navy like England's, but
we should have at least a greater
navy than any of the other
European powers. England is
grasping and contentious, yet
we hold a hostage that will al
ways guarantee to us fair dealing
from that country. One of her
most valuable colonies lies on the
north and she knows she would
lose it in a war with the United
States. Germany is not so sit
uated and should she win in the
great struggle in which she is
now engaged her future policy
