Anne Martin, First Woman Candidate
For i. S. Senate, las Fighting Record
She Upsets Illusions Be-
cause She Doesn't Fit the
Common Idea of a Noun
tain Climbing, Militant
Sufragist
By Ralph Block

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Persons
have illusions about them would be
shocked by Anne Martin. Along in the
credulous '90s "a new woman" as the
feminists were named in that scarce
remembered day, was person who
wore bloomers and derby hat A lot
of movements have passed under the
bridge since then, and the public has
developed great deal in common
sense, but there's no denying that some
Of that old flavor still fingers about
feminism.
And so far as its modern repute is
concerned there is much to justify the
old mythology. Anne Martins record
IS as good as any, and one side of it
at least is full favored Of action. She
was born near the famous Comstock
Lode-picture of mining camp, Shoot
From the Hip Jones, Alkali Smith, bar
rooms with silver dollars stuck all over
the floor, gambling hells, etc, etc. (see
any Western movie).
She now lives in Reno, although from
no ulterior 1notive. She climbs noun
tains for a rastime. She was once the
state tennis champion Of Nevada. She
fought her way inch by inch along with
the Pankhurst family in the now IA
nous siege of London. She picketed
the White House and was thrown into
Jail for it, only to be released by Pres
idential pardon.
Sort of Woman She Isn't
All this would justify picture of
the proposed new Senator from Nevada
as a tall, gaunt, hard, steely-eyed,
pioneering woman, with a talking de-
livery comparable to a steel trap max
ing ration of tenpenny nails.
The only thing wrong with this
description is that it isn't true. To
really understand the kind of a woman
Anne Martin is without having seen
her yourself, it is necessary to have
read II. G. Wells, and then fitted her
to a mental picture of any one \of the
Wellsian modern women, from Ann
Veronica up.
If you haven't read Wells, you have
to go on with this story and piece TO-
gether as best you can the various
other details of Anne Martins life
She was graduated from the University
of Nevada and Leland Stanford. Junior,
had a fier at art under William A.
Chase in New York, studied in England
at Cambridge and the University of
London. took a look in at Leipzig, and
went back to Nevada to take the chair
of history in the university, and from
there gradually became a part of the
Western women's fight for the vote

Federal Investigators Told
That Trade Has Been
Much Disturbed
Small Dealers Hit
Orders Compelled Them to
Dispose of Stocks at a
Big Loss

CHICAGO, March 4.-The effect of
food administration orders relative to
disposal of cold storage poultry and
eggs entered into to-day's hearing of
the Federal Trade Commissions inves-
tigation Of the packing house industry.
II. S. Jones, a poultry, egg and produce
dealer of Chicago, testified that there
"seems to be a lack of confidence among
the trade" in the food administra-
tions rules. He told of the experience
of his firm in connection with the food
administration rule that cold storage
poultry of 1917 should be disposed of
December I, January l and March /, de-
claring that stock of small poultry,
c]assed as lights, was sold in obedience
to- the administration rules at a loss.
my judgment is" he said, chat the
trade will take any rule without ques-
tisn, but that since this investigation
began the full confidence of the trade
has been disturbed. If the trade should
lack confidence in the honesty of the
present investigation, the Lord only
knows what would happen. We might
have another Bolshevik. If the hon
esty Of the present investigation is
proved, the trade will go any limit to
cooperate'
Refers to Generals Gift
Passing attention was given by
Francis j. Heney, counsel for.'the COM
mission, to newspaper comment on
package of toilet articles having been
sent by Armour G Co. to Major Gen.
eral E. II. Plummcr at, the Camp Dodge
cantonment, where Armour g. Co. were
permitted to erect temporary depot.
After the reading of the correspond
ence Mr.. Honey said:
"This subject is not introduced for
the purpose OF rejecting on General
Plummer, but to show the methods
adopted by Armour & Co. in connec-
tlon with securing government busi-
ness"
Figures taken from files on various
packers were introduced to show the
amounts spent for advertising. The
Armour totals were: For 1915, S37S IA;
for 1916, 3579,924. and for 1917, $685.

PaciGst Z hillips Not
Assaulted at Camp

CAMP UPTON. N. Y, March a
Brigadier General Johnson, command
ing the canronment, issued to-day what
lie said was the last statement which
would be forthcoming from the camp
concerning Charles Francis Phillips,
the pacitist, and his short sol journ here.
The general rcopened a subject that he
srdently desires to have closed once
for all, merely to say that Phillips was
not telling the truth when he asserted
on his return to the city that he had
been assaulted while in camp.
"Phillipss allegation that he was
struck or mishandled in any way | find
is absolutely untrue" said General
Johnson. "The only ground that any
such statement could be founded on was
the fact that when Phillips was ordered
to appear before a ma or for an invcs-
tigation of his case he positively re-
fused to obey orders and was forcibly
taken into the presence of the major.
No unnecessary violence or brutality
was used. Phillips later stated to his
captain, in response to a question, that
he had no complaint to make concern
ing the treatment he was receiving,
and he also made this statement to a
newspaper correspondent and to the
adjutant general, who had charge of the
final disposition of his case
SO far Phillips's local board has
failed to recertify him for service, as
is its right. The provost marshal has
already declared that the local board
has power to send the pacilist back
to camp. 1t was learned yesterday
that no official notice of the young
mans rejection had been received by
thu. authorities at Washington and
that the War Department would not
interfere unless the question was re-
fcrred to it,
Surrounded by admiring "liberal'
friends in his home last night, Phil
lips announced that if it were posi-
bic he would like to 20 to Russia.
"If the government would give me q
passport" he said, 81 would promise
to go to Russia and enter the Red
Guard"

Delegates OFF

John Spargo, publicist and Socialist;
J. A II. Hopkins, treasurer of the Ma

which will open in the auditorium of
the Sherman Hotel tomorrow. 1t is
expected that David c. Coates, former
Lieutenant Governor of Colorado, will
preside at the opening of the conven-
tion and make the "keynote" speech.
Mrs. Joseph c. Fels, single tax advo-
cate, who for some time has been a
resident Of this city, is not llkel y to
attend the convention, but her friends
say that she is in accord with the idea
of amalgamating the radical organiza-
tons of the country, which is the OBJ
ject of the gathering in Chicago.
last October, have adopted tentatively
a platform framed with the idea of
forming national organization that
may be supported by the radicals.
These organizations have elected dele
gates to the Chicago convention, and
after debate it is expected that plat
form will be ratified that all the radi-
Gals can subscribe to.
While the Anti-Saloon League has
not formally indorsed the movement,
tie leaders are, it is said. giving it
their moral support, and they may join
it later. The Prohibitionists are hold
ing a convention in Chicago at this
time. and it is expected that their dele
gates will sit in the convention of the
National party.
The promoters of the new organiza-
tion say that there will be about 800
delegates on hand in Chicago, and that
the plans of the amalgamated organi-
zation are fully enough developed to
warrant the prediction that the party
will poll large vote in the Congress
sional elections next fall.

Business Men Urge
Defining of Reason
For Russian Invasion

Any military invasion of Russian tcr-
ritory in the East should be the result
of formal agreements between the Allied
nations, and should be preceded by
wide publicity regarding its purpose :,
in the opinion of the executive commit
tee of the American Russian Chamber
of Commerce, as expressed in Il resolu-
tion adopted yesterday.
The committee predicted that any
other policy might produce harmful
economic results. A copy Of the res
olution, which covers this point, as well
as the others mentioned, will be sub
mitted to the Secretary Of State, Mr..
Lansing, as an expression of the attl-
tude of American business interests
toward the Russian situation.

agreement as to what they are going
to do when they get there, how long
they will stay and what will happen
after they leave. Otherwise 1t Is

Publishers Not Liable
For Advertisers Word

BOSTON, March 4.-Editorial recon-
mendations of advertisers do not make
the publishers Of newspapers or maga-
zines liable for damages arising
through failure of advertisers in their
columns to live up to their representa-
tions, the state Supreme Court ruled
to-day in dismissing suit against the
Curtis Publishing Company, of Phila-
delphia.
George NJ. Heathcote, of this city,
had sought to recover from the Curtis
company on the ground that his wife,
row deceased had been led through
the reading of an editorial in "rhc
Saturday Evening Post" to make con
tract with the North American Con.
struction Company for building a
house and that the work was not salts
factory. The editorial in question, l.
was claimed, guaranteed "the honesty
integrity, trustworthiness and financial
standing" OF advertisers using the col.
umns Of the magazine.
The editorial, the court held, was not
strictly a guarantee to answer for the
debt or default of another, but was in
effect merely recommendation of its
advertisers, that they could be de-
pended upon as reliable and honest.
"a statement that a manufacturer is
trustworthy" the decision said, "is ar
assurance that he is reputed, that moth
ing to the contrary is known; and while
an action may line upon such a promise
in case of fraud, it is not a statement
which gives a right of action against
the publisher # the party recon
mended does not do as he agrees under
any particular contract
In this case the court found that
while there was evidence that the Nortf
American Construction Company fallco
to perform its contract, there was nc
evidence that the company was engage
in a fraudulent business, was financial
ly irresponsible or was in the habit OF
Intentionally deceiving people.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what YOU
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is nure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than the most expensive soa n
or anything else you can use for
shampooing. as this can't possibly in :
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather. and cleansos
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Tho
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle Of dust. dirt, dandrur
and excessive oil. The hair d.
quickly and evenly. and it leaves -
fine and silky, bright fluffy and e,s,.
