General Public by D., L. & w.

The right Of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad TO carry
passengers on its ferry to Hoboken who
were not also passengers on the rail-
road was questioned yesterday at a
hearing before the tax commissioners

ton Counsel of Hoboken, filed an opin-
ion, in which Ne denied the right OF the
railroad to ferry passengers in general.

Sighs for Suffrage
Cell at Occoquan
Sure Pickets Would Have Aided
the Cause Had They Stayed
in the Workhouse

Mrs. John Winters Brannan sat in
her beautiful library yesterday after
noon and sighed for the workhouse at
0ccoquan, Va. She looked like
quaint old portrait in her high up
holstered chair, dressed in flowing
black chiffon, with pearls at her throat
and her soft gray hair done up high
with big she'll combs. Behind her
were the cleaning gold and soft brown
books which made up the library col
lected by Mrs. Brannan's father,
Charles A. Dana, former editor Of "The
New York SUM-"
Mrs. Brsnnan had just returned from
the suffrage picket line in Washington,
where she has stood every day since
she was released with the other suf-
frage "ex-convicts" week ago yester-
day.
Suffragists Have New Slogan
al wish We could have stayed in the
workhouse," she sighed. "lt would
have done more good. By accepting
the pardon we permitted the incident
to be closed. However, we were guided
by our friends outside, who advised
US that President Wilson really meant
TO do something definite about our bill
at once. We have a new slogan now:
"'The President has pardoned the
pickets, but the pickets have not par
doned the President"
Mrs. Brannan told of alleged indig-
mites to which the pickets were sub
jected in the workhouse.
"We made no protest against con-
ditions which we're alike for all pris-
oners," she said. ave objected only
to the malicious discrimination against
US. We didn't mind being put with
negro women-the scum of Washing

Took Away Wedding Rings

and that it was meant as a deliberate
insult when they put us in the dormi-
tory where there were negroes. They

so, and the matron replied that she'd
see about having it filed off in the
morning.
Imagine, II you can, the things that
would be best calculated TO annoy a
woman, and you will have the answer
to the things that were done TO us in
that prison. They refused US our
brushes and combs, our tooth brushes
and our handkerchiefs. The other pris-
oners were allowed to carry theirs in
small bags sewed in their dresses, but
we were denied them. There was only
one small piece of soap for all Of us.

Oldest member OF the party and the
wife Of a physician, forbade any one

Upon public indignation in Washing
ton, the Woman's Party is relying now
for action from Congress. Mrs. Bran
nan said the prospects were favorable
for the early introduction of the Fed
eral amendment as a war measure.
Mrs. Brannan, with Mrs. John Rog-
ers, jr., and Miss Boris Stevens, who
were also in prison at Occoquan, will
be the speakers at a Woman's Party
meeting at the Hotel Plaza on August
/. Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer will preside.

Spain Restores Quiet
Martial Law Lifted in Va.
lencia: Workers Return

Madrid, July 26.--Quiet is gradually
being restored throughout Spain, which
has recently been in a state of unrest
owing TO strikes and other causes. An
official dispatch from Valencia says
martial law has been lifted and that
the situation is normal.
Striking workmen will resume labor
tomorrow in other cities.
New-York tribune., 1917-07-27


The streets of New York-the side
streets through which you do not travel
are full of these little madonnas of
the curb. All the children Of the tene-
ments are prisoners in effect, little con-
victs penned within the confines Of
narrow streets and narrower homes,
but the little madonnas are the ball
and-chain gang of them all.
Johnny may run if he can dodge the
trucks; Susie may play London Bridge
if she can find the space amid the
pushcarts. But an armful of baby
anchors the little madonna to the curb
as effectually as would ball and chain
at her ankle.
If the fire engines 60 screening past
the corner, off go Johnny and Susie in
a wild chase after them, that provides
excitement for hours; but all the baby
minder can do is to wonder between
her lullaby croonings, "lf the fire is
much" II "cop" pulls in" some dis
obeyer of the law, brother Johnny and
sister Susie can follow with the crowd
to the station house to watch the cul-
prit arraigned before the desk-a thrill
ling sight to the small folk-but ma
donna is crushed to the curb or the
doorstep by a weight she cannot shake
off.
Would you strike the shackles from
an innocent prisoners limbs if you
had 1t in your power? Who would
hesitate? If it were discovered to-day
that some of the hardened criminals,
even. in Sing Sing or Auburn, had been
sentenced to the ball and chain, there
would be a hue and cry against the
proceeding all over the state that
would shake the eternal hills.
Yet here are these puny lassies with
their babies, and nobody raises pro-
test against the injustice OF the sem
tence passed upon them! That is, no.
body but The Tribune Fresh Air Fund.
For the temporary release OF the ma
donnas of the curb from their unnat-
ural burden The Tribune fund mas
established "little mothers vacation
home at Chapel Hill, N. j. There they
are received without their babies
throughout the summer each veal. for
fortnight vacations. There they have
nothing to DO but rest and play and
be girls again. 1t would be difficult
adequately to describe the peace and
contentment the change brings to them;
There are a hundred "little mothers"
at Chapel Hill now, the third hundred
of the season. Three hundred more
are to be sent to the place before the
summer comes to an end. Will you
help The Tribune fund provide these
outings? 1t costs the fund something
over $500 to provide the outings Of
each party. What wonderful feeling
of satisfaction it would give you to
know that you had made hundred
of these girls happy for fortnight!
Send the 5000 to-day.

The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund

On the curb Of city pavement,
BY the ash and garbage cans,
In the stencil and rolling thunder
OF motor trucks and vans,
There sits my little lady,
With brave but troubled eyes.
And in her arms a baby
That cries and cries and cries.
She cannot be more than seven;
But years go fast in the slums,
And hard on the pains of winter
The pitiless summer comes.
The wall of sickly children
She knows she understands
The pangs Of puny bodies.
The clutch of small hot hands.
In the deadly blaze Of August.
That turns men faint and mad,
She quiets the peevish urchins
BY telling dream she had
heaven with marble counters,
And ice, and singing fan:
And God in white. so friendly,
Just like the drugstore man.
Her ragged dress Is dearer,
Than the perfect robe Of a queenl
Poor little lass, who knows not
The blessing of being clean.
And when you are giving millions
To Belgian. Pole and Serb.
Remember my pitiful lady
Madonna Of the Curb!

against this, the germinative quality
OF the seed should be tested before
planting ard the planting should be

cd not more than one inch to one and
one-haf inches deep. The planting
may be done up to the middle Of July,
ard on this account it is one of the
best crops to follow the cat crop. On

two to two and ona-half feet wide, ana
on fertile soil from three to three and

If properly planted no hoeing should
be required by this crop and it will
need only two or three cultiyations.-

HUMBOLDT RANCHERS GIVEN
CATTLE RUSTUNC WARNING
Indications Point to Organized Gang
Operating on Large Scale
In Northern Nevada

Warning to owners of cattle has
been sounded by the Lovelock Mer-
chants association, following an in
vestigation which shows that many
thefts of cattle are occurring in this
part of the state, with indications
pointing strongly to an organized
gang of cattle rustlers operating in
the northern and eastern counties on
o large scale, says the Lovelock Re
view-Miner.
One of the methods used by the
cattle thieves is that of driving the
cattle a considerable distance from
where they belong, and disposing of
them where their brand records are
not so well known or SO easy to To-
cate.
A communication from Fallon
showed that two cows and two yearl-
ings belonging to the Cooper and
Uniaeke ranches, and bearing their
brand, came in to Fallon from tie
Mountains east of Saltwater, along
with some cattle belonging to
Chas. Kent. They were put in the
field and through the Lovelock Mer-
chants association, were identified
as belonging here, after a search by
Mr.. Kent showed that they were
branded with marks which were not
registered, or shown on the records
of Churchill County.
The recent cattle cases at Falion
have brought to light many suspi-
cious features of the cattle stealing
situation, and before they are finally
over with there may come to ligth
the existence of a ring Of cattle
thieves operating on state wide
scale. getting away with large num-
bers of animals from the range.
Notifications are being sent to the
big cattle owners, and in this as in
other matter of general community
welfare, the Merchants association
is maintaining a close watch on the
situation, with a view to protecting
the interests of Loyelock and the
Lovelock valleys.

ESTIMATE OF STOCK LOSS
IN ELKO LAST WINTER

Considerable has been said In the
past of the terrific losses of live stock
in Elko county the past winter and
spring aud up to the present time an
estimate has ben hard to obtain, but
the statement of the county assessor
is a fair indication. Taking last year
as a basis, the number of stock turn
ed in by the individual owners this
year shows that there is a shortage
of about 100000 in sheep and cattle
When a person takes into considera-
ton that the livestock assessment of
Elko county last year amounted to
S5,322,547, the loss was but very
small per cent and it is estimated
at 1000 cattle and 1900 head of
sheep.-Elko Free Press
