PENSION ENEMIES
FORCED INTO OPEN
Senator McCumber Unwilling to
Tax Farmer for Benefit of
U. S. Workers.

The enemies of the Sterling Civil
Service retirement bill in the Senate
were forced into the open today.
Senators Pomerene and McCumber
stand in the forefront Of those who
are opposed to the legislation, the
stand OF the latter being thus stated:
"Why should the farmers of the ma
ton working much harder than the
average Government employe, and
earning less money. be called upon
to contribute to a life pension for
class that work from about o o'clock
the morning until 4:30 o'clock in
the Afternoon? Prior to the war. the
average earnings of a Government
clerk were double the average earn
ings of clerks in other employments.
II cannot commit that injustice
against the great majority OF the
working people of the United States.
This kind OF legislation would inevit-
ably be followed by old-age pensions"
Senator Myers amendment, designed
to prevent Government clerks from
affiliating with the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, comes to a vote today.
Senators Lenroot and Harrison vigor-
ously defended the organized clerks
against the attacks OF Myers and
Thomas Senator Harrison declared
the letter carriers and postal clerks
we're unable to receive any considera-
ton at the hands OF Congress until
they were organized as a labor union.

Among 100 grave scientists attend =
ing the thtrty-ffth annual convention
OF the American Association OF Anat-
omists, which meets today at the Ma
tional Museum in it's closing session
Is Miss Louisa Keasbey. twenty-five
year-old girl anatomist OF Cornell
University.
Miss Keasbsy. apart from her
youthfulness, attracted the attention
OF the visiting delegates because OF
her unusual demonstration. She IL
the first person in America, man or
woman, to demonstrate "Schollen
Leucocytes," which, translated, meanF
white blood cells or a sheep.
Scores OF scientists bent over her
laboratory table to examine the
"Schollen Leucocytes." Under the
powerful microscope was seen what
rescmbled a pretty pink and blue
blossom, but In reality was a crosos
section OF a sheep cell. extracted
from a once live, wooley sheep, skin
ned and sliced under the operating
knife OF the fair Miss Keasbey.
Dissects Fourteen sheep.
Miss Keasbey, pretty faxen-
haired blonde. told OF her expert
mental work as anatomist at Cornell
University. New York. which has en-
abled her to participate 80 pro.ni-
nently in the convention.
AT Cornell l am taking a course
in histology, that branch OF anatomy
which includes the study OF the
Schollen Leucocyte found in the
mucous membrane in the stomach Of
sheep. The laboratory work calls fol
the vivisection OF sheep. and during
my two years OF the study am sorry
to say ! have been compelled TO dis
sect fourteen sheep"
Some one shuddered, but Miss Keas.
hey smiled sympathetically as she
said. "Oh, that's all in the days work.
The slaughter house is just across the
street from the university. 1t Is part
OF the laboratory of the New York
State College OF Agriculture, at
Ithaca, New York. 1t does seem
rather cruel to the poor little sheep.
but / shrink from no duty, however
unpleasant. that would further the
cause of science"
Hopes To lie Physician.
Miss Keasby hopes to be a ply
sician some day. she said, and she
Is leaving no stone unturned to
realize her ambition. Having already
obtained an A. b. degree from Cornell
University, she is assiduously at her
studies to secure an IN. A" This is
her sixth year at college. Miss Keas-
bey is from Austin, Texas. but at pres
ent is residing in New York.
Other women delegates attending
the convention are Miss Florence
Sabian, well known anatomist: Mrs.

YOUNG WOMAN sToWAWAY
Girl Lived For Ten Days in Dirty
Hole in Hull.


New York, Sent after living
for ten days in black hole four feet
by six, which at times was flooded a
foot deep with salt water, Jean Tuck
er, % years old. a young English
woman, was lifted out by the officers
Of the American liner Philadelphia in
fainting condition and was detained
as stowaway. She was so weak she
could scarcely stand alone and was
covered with rust and CRIME from ly
ing on the iron plates.
The young woman is said to have
been struggled on Friday night, Au
gust 90 by Edward Manning, a fire
man and citizen of the United
States The fireman is alleged to have
declared that unless the young wo
man came to New York and married
him he would commit suicide.
When dragged from the hole the
stowaway were blue dungaree over
all suit. When she went to Ellis Is
land she wore some new clothing that
Manning had purchased for her, in
New York after the ship locked on
Monday.
Officers and engineers of the Ph.la
delphia knew before leaYng South
ampton that the Ypuiig woman bad
come aboard the night : lbefofeA in
mems colthes, but could not discover
her hiding place, although several
searches were made. The officers eX
planned the failure of their searches
by the fact eihat they8belieVed no hui
man being coud live in such a place
as the stowaway was found. 1T was
right in the eyes of the ship, between
the plates of the bow and was so low
that she could stand upright only at
one side. The only air came through
locker where potatoes were stored
for the voyage. The girl had been
passed down through the manhole in
Southampton and could not get out
without aid
Yet throughout the voyage, the wo
man stowaway said that she eX
perienced fear but once. That was
when, on August %, the Philadelphia
struck "A whale. The huge mammal
swished its tail, which beat upon the
bow plates of the shin The first blow
knocked her off her feet. Others made
her think the liner had struck rect
and was laundering. She lost all
hope for life, and the battering ceased
the ship steamed on.
AT last the Philadelphia reached her
destination. The ten-day nightmare
was over.
