SUFFRACIST
+. LEADER dies
Dame Millicent Fawcett Was
Leader of English Equal
Rights Move

LONDON, Aug. 5.@R-Dame
Millicent Fawcett, a leader In the
s~uffragist movement, died here
early this morning.
For 81 years or. until her efforts
we're crowned with success. Dame
Millicent Fawcett. with voice ano
pen, fought the battles Of the wom-
en Of England for equal suffrage
rights.
1t was for her a momentous day
In May. 1867. when from behind
the grille in the Ladies' Gallery of
the House of Commons she heard
John Stuart Mill advocate q wom-
ems suffrage amendment to the
representation of the People Bill.
1t was, perhaps, a more thrilling
moment in July. 1923. when from
m honored seat in the House OF
Lords she heard royal assent given
TO the bill for the enfranchisement
Of women on the same terms as
men.
The last Of the pioneers of the
cause Of woman suffrage, Mrs. Faw-
cett for many years was head OF
the National Union Of Women's
Suffrage Societies. She often ex-
pressed her disapproval Of the mill
tant methods of the Woman's Po-
htical and Social Union, of which
the late Mrs. Emmelene Pankhurst
was leader, which were contrary TO
the aims Of her own organization to
bring about woman suffrage by the
orderly manner Of parliamentary
action.
Born Millicent Garrett at Aide
burgh. Suffolk, June IL, 1847. the
venerabel suffrage leader was the
seventh child Of NewSon Garrett. q
justice of the peace. At the age
Of 20 she was married to the Rt.
Hon. Henry Fawcett. widely known
political economist and Liberal
Member of Parliament, who after
wards became postmaste r-general.
Dame Millicent's only daughter,
Philippa Garrett Fawcett, for sew
eral years has been connected with
the education officers department
Of the London County Council.

Greater economy in Brownsville's
city government has been the re-
ct Of the newly instituted budget
system, O report on expenditures for
the first seven months Of 1929 re-
veals.
The budget system has proven
very satisfactory thus far. as 1t has
enabled us TO determine whether
the various departments are being
operated within the allowance
which IL was considered necessary
at the beginning Of the year, A. Z.
Munday, city secretary, said.
The report Of the budget condi-
ton ending July 81, shows the city
operated within the budget appro-
priation for the first seven months
and had S7,922.01 TO spare" Mr..
Munday continued.
City officials expressed Rratifi-
cation at the record made up to this
time, as 1t is the first year the city
has not exceeded what 1t was ex-
pected would be necessary for X
penoitures.
Best System
Undoubtedly this is the best
system known in municipal account
ing. It Is modern and complete in
every detail as 1t enables us at all
times to check up on just what con-
dition the city is in" Munday con-
Guided.
A review of the report shows that
many OF the accounts in the various
departments had spent less than
their budget allowance.
In the general government de-
partment. only the chamber of COM
merce and the city hall building had
exceeded their allowances: in streets
and public service department.

toir, and garbage were over: In pub

it didn't require, considerable per.

Carmichael still grInned. Dick
stared Mary-Mary had been
forced into the front cockpit! She
had had no controls. Carmichael
had crOuched down in the rear,
flown the ship from there, even

through which to peer out.
Then he had made that trick
landing, landing which. while it
crippled his plane, would leave
its passenger unhurt, knowing
that Dick would land.
Dick looked dazedly at Mary.
Her pitiful eyes sought his.
why, oh why, didn't you go
on?" she half whispered.
Dick shook his head vaguely.
Swirling thoughts made a chaos
of his brain, a nightmare Of this
incredible scene. Then. out of
that chaos his thoughts took
shape. Something seemed. to ex.
plode in his mind.
Carmichael you - you killed
Lawson!"
'Uncanny mind you've gotr'
Carmichael exclaimed. You seem
to see everything! My boy, you've
been throwing away your talents

Dick scarcely heard the scott
ing unruffled voice. His mind was
speedingI back, trying to recon

pieces of the whole puzzle.

"And ! was right-from the

Mclean grinned as the old man
grew more enraged. Freckies
started to speak again, but Nc
Lean interrupted him and adj
dressed his remarks to Uncle
Maxwell.
"I think Freckles is too weak to
talk any more. / recall a day in
a Chicago hospital when you did
a great deal of talking and I
listened. Now 7 will do the talk
ing, and you will listen" Strangely
enough. McLean's tone carried the
same air Of finality, as he con-
tinued:
For four years Freckles has
been completely dominated by your
wishes: he has been allowed to
develop no personality or indi-
viduality; he is idle, restless and
useless. 1t is time for him to
decide what he wants to do, and
do it, without interference from
anyone. All asks for him is a
chance, and I am here to see
that he gets it: needless to state,

not sure just what Freckles
wants, but | have some potent
suggestions to make. My busi-
ness needs a manager while I
take vacation-I haven't had
one in years"
For the first time in his life,
Lord O'More was silenced. Every
time he tried to speak, Mclean
shut him up with some cutting
remark. Finally he managed to
say:
I've done my best for him."
"No-you've done nothing Of the
kind-you've done your worst;
here he is, a man licked-beaten
by your internal petting and
coddling and bossing. It's crime!
He wants to get out and fight his
! own way in the world, and by
heavens. he's going to do it."
Freclxles was openly enjoying
O'More's discontinue: Barlow kept
his face under control by keeping
his hand over his mouth; even
Aunt Ellen was smiling into her
handkerchief. She spoke, for the

Dick was torn by conflicting
emotions. Time was precious,
yet not even on this desperate
mission. could he go on with
Mary in danger. Could she land
that big ship safely? lie searched
the ground below. There were
several clear places. He would
see her safely down. then hurry
on. He could call the field to
help her later.
A thousand feet below Mary was
leveling off to land. Dick banked
around for better view. She
would have no trouble, for the field
was large and open. But sudden
CONSERVATION gripped him.
At the last moment. when il had
almost stopped, the ship had come
to grief, apparently as it's wheels
struck some obstacle. Slowly the
tail had come up. The plane was
now on it's back.
Dick glided down as fast as he
could. At that slow speed a turn
over would hardly be serious, but
he had to be sure. He swung
across the field at 100 feet. Panic
seized him as he saw no sign of
movement. Mary must be pinned
underneath. perhaps seriously
hurt.
He landed as quickly as possible

plane. Jumping out, he dashed

The next instant Dick was stupi-
fled to look down the muzzle of an
automatic. But the amazement
that left him staring helplessly
was not al sight of the gun-but
at the man whose amused eyes
rested on him.
1t was Carmichael!
Carmichael's left hand was
pressed against the mouth of Mary
Rand. He released her now, and
emerged from under the plane,
leaning against it to watch both of
them. YEARLY, slowly, Mary got
up from her knees.
Carmichael! Dicks mind was
still paralyzed. He made a puzzled
gesture.
Rather neat, Trent, getting you
down this way" said Carmichael
pleasantly. Miss Rand was help

fused to admit him; there was some
argument; but Mclean, seeing
lights upstairs, and hearing Lord
O'More's voice, brushed past the
butler, and went upstairs without
being announced. He followed the
sound of the voices, and was
aghast when he looked in
F'reckles' room-Freckles in bed,
pale and wan-Lord O'More, red

Lean rushed into them. After the
excitement of the greetings was
over, they explained Freckles' ac-

for a minute and then said:

Lord O'More was raging, but he

was keeping in the background;
he wanted to get the lay of the
