CASE AGAINST SURETY
COMPANY SUBMITTED
TO JUDGE MCCARTHY

The long drawn out case of the state
company of New York, in which the
state seeks to recover on the bonds of
o. V. Allen and Fred Coleman, de-
faulting state treasurer and deputy
state treasurer the sum of $4,000,
came to a close last evening after
lengthy argument. which consumed
most of the day in district court be-
fore Judge Mccarthy, who has taken
the case under Amusement and will
study the briefs submitted by both
sides.
The argument in the district court
opened at II o'clock and lasted until
4:30. T. C. Coffin, leading counsel for
the state, made the opening argument,
outlining the case of the state consti-
tuting Is different items. He was fol-
lowed by Jess B, Hawley, attorney for
the National Surety company, who de-
clared, that through technical errors on
the part of the state, it had failed to
prove it's case in a number of partic-
ulars.
T. c. Coffin answered Mr.. HaWley to
some length, insisting that the state
had proved its claim and that the state
had only made a part settlement with
the State Bank of Nampa and thus the
National surety company was not re-
leased. Edward Snow and ]. H. Peter
son both argued for the state.
In the case which occupied IL days
there were $4,000 exhibits introduced
The only defense which the Surety
company introduced was to show that
the State Bank of Nampa had been
settled with directly by the state, thus
releasing the National Surety company
from that part of the loss.

NOTHERHOODFOR
only THE LOWER
TYPES OF WOMEN
st. Paul Club Woman De-
clares Cultured Women
Should Not Be Permitted
to Become Mothers.

Seattle May Educated, cultured
women should not be allowed to be
mothers.
Motherhood should be restricted TO
women of the lower classes who nave
not had the heritage of nerves tenn
permanent and physical development
which science admits is what makes
the propagation of life fraught with SO
much danger and suffering
So says Mrs. Robert Liggett of st.
Paul, who arrived in Seattle to discuss
the question of twilight sleep with
local club women. prior to the question
being brought up at the biennial meet
ing of the General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs in New York, when the
question OF childbirth and its dangers
is to be made an important issue.
Mrs Liggett is frank in her admis-
sion that it is her purpose to make
women rebel against motherhood until
something is done to save them from
the pain which women have been
brought up to consider its natural ac-
compartment.
SAYS Il Is Unfair.
Until science can find some way Of
propagating the race without the ply
steal and mental danger which women
must face in giving life, the world
should not expect them to be willing
to bear children" Mrs. Lfggett says.
"Science tells us that the higher the
mental culture of a woman, the greater
her capacity for suffering. Is it fair,
then, to urge our girls to higher edu-
cation and at the same time expect
them to be mothers?
UNLESS something can be done to
relieve women of this curse, the exist
ence of matrimony is not justified.
THE giving of life should be con-
fined to women of the lower type, not
so capable of suffering.
They should be selected for breed
ing, and kept from all the things in
tellectual"
Mrs. Liggett is not recommending
twilight sleep" as a solution of the
problem of motherhood, but is asking
that the women of the United States
Investigate and find out if its claims
are true.
Some Startling Ideas.
A few Of the startling new ideas adj
vanced by Mrs. Ltggett follow: THE
old fashioned notion about the sacred
ness of motherhood Is all bosh.'
There is no baby in the world that
is worth the pain which it's mother
went through to give it life
Giving of life should be confined 20
women of lower type, who are not
so capable of suffering. They should
be selected for breeding, and kept from
all things intellectual"
There can be no sacredness about a
thing in which there is so much ply
steal suffering.

NO VIOLATION OF
LAW OF nations
SAYS LORD CECIL
Great Britain Prepared to
Defend Herself Against
Charges Made in the Ger
man Note.
BY Wilbur S. Forrest.

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
London, May 6.-G-eat Britain is
prepared to pro tina. the measures
she has t1ken against German trade
were in street accordance with the
principles of International law.
Lord Robert Cecil, British minister OF
block ade made this reply tonight to
charges made in the German note sent
to Washington Friday, in the course Of
an interview with the United Press.
Lord Robert did not attempt to indicate
what course the British government
would pursue in the event that the
United States follow, ed Csrmany's slg-
gestion and pressed England for a
change in her methods of warfare
against the kaiser's empire. He de-
clared, however, that the British gov
eminent is read; to meet the German
charge that III German submarine was
adopted as IN sasure of reprisal for
the British blockade, by an overwhelm-
ing array of evidence. The cabinet
member emphasized Germanys charge
with reference to peace, interpreted in
some quarter as a direct bid for ir ter
vention by President Wilson to end the
war. He declared that notwithstandil g
the fact that in hi; speech of Dec. 8
before the reichstag the German chan
cellor accused England of falsely" at
tributing peace rumors to Germany, the
German government now admits that it
has made peace overtures He re-
affirmed that England will make no
peace until Europe is free from the
intolerable menace of Prussian mil
itiarism.
Has Taken No Neutral Lives.
So far as is known, said the British
blockade minister. the blockade has
threatened the life Of no neutral. He
compared y fact with the heavy toll
of neutral lives taken by German sub
marines. The Germans have repeatedly
tried to justify their submarine ar
fare by declaring it an act of reprisal,
he said, though Germany had declared
submarine blockade of the British
isles and had torpedoed merchant ships
without Warnin. before the British
blockade of Germany was instituted
March II, 015.
Commenting on the reference in tie
German note to the starvation by Great
Britain of helpless non comoatants
Lord Robert quoted the German chan
cellor himself as having stated in the
reichstag in April that the British
blockade was a failure and that Ger
many has run short Of nothing and will
lack nothing in the future. Further
more, he quoted from the declarations
by Bismarck in 1885 upholding Tie
