ed, However.

NEW YORK. April 13.-Despite the
fact that railroad traffic in ana
around New York was still utterly
demoralized today. railroad officials
professed to see a betterment in the
situation. They expressed the belief
that the peak of the unauthorized
strike fever has been reached and
passed.
There was little noticeable improve
ment in the situation early today,
however. The committing service
particularly was hard hit again. The
Jersey Central. which carries a great
part Of the Jersey commuters, was
still more or less tied up and running
trains when crews could be found to
man them.
many Jersey communities last night
and pledged themselves to fire' en-
gines, act as brakemen,~ or perform
other tasks on trains to and from
their work.
The Staten Island Rapid Transit, a
part of the Baltimore and Ohio sys-
tenn, moved no trains in the early
hours, leaving thI sands of commut-
ers stranded.
Say Men VIII Return.
Officials of the New York Central
saw improvement in the situation as
II affected their road in reports that
strikers at several divisional points
would return to work today. II the
men did return, II was said, II meant
that the worst had been passed.
The Pennsylvania operated on a
curtailed schedule.
On the Erie railroad only a few
trains carrying milk and mail were
operated early today.
Thousands Of commuters have def
nitely abandoned hope of going to
and from their homes for the dura-
tion OF the strike, and have crowded
| all hotels In Manhattan. One hotel
alone is housing more than 600 off,
cials and employees OF banking Arms.
Automobile "trains" are being
utilized by persons in outlying sub
urbs to get to their places of busi-
ness.

Adding TO the general discomfort

Manhattan was shrouded In n dense
fog.

When a State rejects woman
suffrage it announces that its
women are not fit to vote. OF
course, it has no right to judge of
women in other States.
You would say offhand that each
State Is the best judge of its own
women, that when State declares
its women are of a kind to be
permanently classed with idiots
children and Indians, it knows
what it is talking about.
But that does not necessarily
follow. For the decision against
women comes from men, profess
sional politicians at that. And no
body Of women should be con-
demned on judgment Of that kind.
The decisions against woman suf-
frage prove that many masculine
legislators are unfit to be law
makers. and proves nothing else.

SALMON WITH TWO MOUTHS
 IS LATEST FREAK SEEN ON PORTLAND MARKET

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 29-A sal mon with two complete mouths was recently taken from the Columbia river near here, by fishermen. The freak was not discovered until it reached a local market Injury when young is said tQ have caused the growth of the under jaw, which is filled with teeth.
 The fish, a silverside salmon, weigh ed ten pounds. Careful examination revealed that the V-shaped cartilage which supports the tongue had been wrenched loose from the lower jaw. probably when the fish was a finger. ling. and had healed perfectly. giving the fish the semblance of two lower jaws. Nothing similar had ever been seen here among the hundreds of tons of salmon handled here annually.
 There was only one entrance through the throat into the gullet. however. and it is assumed the fish had muscular control over the extra jaw, for even a fish,if it keps it's mouth open. will drown. according to on the fiEny family.
