-* IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS -•*

Women Urged to Take Part in Party Affairs Political Service Embraces More Than Activity in Advisory Capacity. By JULIA C. H UNDER SOX. It has been stated recently through a press report that the political parties this year are urging women to be candidates for both convention delegates and precinct committeemen. It is hoped that this is true, but according to party workers among women, no special activity along this line has been .forwarded by either party up to this time. However, tie women themselves are realizing that the time has come for action, as the coming spring primaries soon will’be here, at which time the precinct committeemen will be elected. That women are now eligible to these places as well as men is calling forth their activity. WOMEN ELIGIBLE TO PARTY OFFICES. Heretofore, the women only have been recognized in political circles merely as voters with no authority in party ranks other than to demand their precious first vote which had been granted to them by constitutional amendment. The primaries In most instances had beeji held and the precinct committeemen had been elected before the women were recognized as full citizens, it was therefore kept constantly before the women voters that they were taken in iu<fci. advisory capacity, or otherwise by courtesy of the regularly elected party workers, and could go no further until such time as they might be elected to sic'll oill e. That time is now at hand and the women are free to become candidates for office, free to pr-s"*t their names for pr, ■ ;n"t committeemen and enter into regular party work. For performance of these duties many women are as well equipped and qualified as. are the men. The women contend that the mere fact that they have not held offices and appointments as are granted under the law is no evidence that they could cot learn the work as.quickly and become as proficient. as the men. Few men elected to office know the first principles of tunning the office to which they have aspired and have been elected. It is safe to say that women will prove themselves ready scholars, and will have an added pride in making good in official capacity in order that they may lend distinction to their sex and present positive proof that women are capable of taking their part In the political life of today. CREDIT DUE CUB WOMEN. It is thought by many that; the primary is the most important part of any election and that great stress should belaid upon It. It is to the credit of the “Original South Side Club” of our city that they have taken for their slogan from now until the primaries “Who is your precinct committeeman? - ’. This is wise action and well timed an 1 Indicates that women are alive and arousing themselves to the need of using their . influence to the end of bringing out the; most desirable citizens for these impor tant civic positions. Cither sections of the city are likewise active, and results from such activity most promising. It is believed that if a woman is better equipped for service 1n this capacity that she be the chosen one or if a man Is better qualif cl that he be the choice, both working in cooperation. Too often in the past has this selection been left to party workers to the discredit of the precinct and i;s people. Lack of in'-r----est on the part of voters ts noun.l to bring such results. It may be said to the credit of those 1n the lead of the Republican party lit the recent city campaign that three vm-an i.-s in as many precincts in the city were promptly filled by women appointees While this is true, reports from over the: State Indiate that more women were ad- ; vaneed to places on the Democratic ticket : and wore elected than on the Republican ticket. -That the men in both parties are seeing . the turn of the tide in politics there can be no doubt and unwise is that party, or candidate, failing *o consider d* ofdy and earnestly the women's vote of the party.

M’CORMIC SAYS GARDEN SENT HER LARGEST BOUQUET Gives Vie*ws on Muratore Controversy in Signed Statement. By SrEARMAX LEWIS. CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Mary McCormlc, baby star of the Chicago Opera Comitany, has arisen from her operatic cradle long enough to speak, her little piece in the Garden Muratore controversy. Miss McCormie’s statement was provoked by the alleged disclosure made by Lueien Muratore before the tenor's departure for New York, In which Muratore related that flowers intended for the former qowgirl were intercepted at the footlights on orders of Mary Gargen. general director, who was appear ing that, night in the title role of “Carmen.” Miss McCormic, in a signed statement, said : “I never* have received any flowers at the Auditorium that did not come over the footlights—and the only flow ers I have received came up at the mati nee when I made tny debut as Micaela l in ‘Carmen.’ Among the bouquets was the biggest basket I ever saw from Mary !

A /LYRA’S FINGERS IVJL By A. R . FARL E 1 G H

15 on Jam in Campion, an inventor, was burned to death in n work shop on Lons: i Island. Hi* life had been iiisurod for a larije Hum which tbe insuranre company refiiKCHl to pay on account of tho peculiar (‘ircumsl-mocs of lilff death. Mrs. Campion, a former wife, 1 a beJlever in tho ocellit. Myra, a daughter, i a benetiriary of the Insurance policy to i tho extent of SIO,(MN). Neither the mother or daughter knew of Hen death until tho mother goes Campion in a spiritualistic vision at a seance and gets a message from iiirti. Dr. Abner Campion, a stepbrother, bocomoo involved in |an insurance swindle in connection with the rase. My story follows mystery unD! tho whole problem is solved v lien Mrs. tampion receives a mussus:e from the diniil. CHAPTER VH—rContinued. “When she went nway we got a boat hook and got as near as we could. It was a mighty hot fire. After a wh'.lo we reached in anil got the hook into him ami dargged out all that was left of Campion ’’ Objections, like a swift rattle of hail, angered the witness and he cried out: ‘ Wen, if it wasn't Campion, who else •ould it have boeu?" lie was warned again and finally aaid ; they dragged out a body and put It to i one side and threw some water on it. “—and it was bleeding a good deal,” , lie added. Here a fierce battle of the lawyers ho- : gan. After a long \Vr uigle, Scatters’ i • -' imony on this point was admitted. Counsel for Myra looked at one another i' and smiled—they had made an advance. Bodies long dead do not. bleed. Scatters continued that he covered up j the remains, left a neighbor to watch j aud went to the house. "The widow—” Again came the. shower objections ; "Well, If she wasn't a widow—” | II•> was silenced and then amended his . -' imony. 'Mrs I'-irnpion was in an awful state, o i kind of lied to her and said we hadn't found nothing and I guess Ben would turn up. She didn't go to bed. so a the morning 1 had to tell her we found : Campion’s body—“ He vus In danger of punishment for . tempi then, but counsel r.-seued him ■l n. ii a-k ■ l the pi.iin <iestion: "Did you identify the body?" “Yes. it was Campion s body.” "t’ontimie ate -it that morning." "We brought the—Mr* Campion down •o the shark and she took on awful I again. Sl;.* threw herself on the body—well, what was left of it—and kissed it a. and yelled and screamed for Ben to om- ba k.” Mrs. I'arnham conld feel Milllcent i shudder on her breast. I “Wer- Sir n:.-l Mrs Campion a very loving i ouple?” 1 “F id ifiarr! and people [ike them they re the lovtnest i— opl.' I ever see." His story was not shattered by the d-sense, but it was badly w-ak-eed at ; two points. He could to*' testify that any id. -d had came from ttie body until utter they hurl thrown tho water on it. a-. 1 <*v- . as to that wh- n pinned down •o ahs- p’e facts- he had .to admit Diat p.-rlthps you eouldn't rail it rightly , Tull Id-" It lilood,' but it certianiy was •tdor.dy water.” The defense seemed pleased nt this ad nfi B -d o n . he wn 3 forced to say that the body was in stjeh ft condition tl.cit it could not tie positively Identified ex --pt , Beniamin Campion. When further cir cut: s -ribed he had to admit that the fire 1:1 .; -To-.e.i all murkes of positive a! ion. "Was tin ro a secret room In that

shack?” he was asked. A thrill went thru the court. Ha! that was where tho body had been kept! “What do you mean by secret?" "Which nobody was allowed to enter?” “Campion didn’t into the shack said he didn't want people snooptn.’ The only time I was in was with Mrs. Campion.” The Hart boys, old man Eiseniord and ‘Ma Crawford gave similar testimony about events after the fire. The crowd I had got tired of hearing the same story | over and over. Now they sat up as the ! clerk called : f “Milllcent Campion!" | They were on their feet as the childwoman took the stand. She had removed j b cr •tjtt -by advice of counsel—and sat i composedly, a bit of vivid color, startling | the vision of all with her small, pale, ' pari -like face and sky-blue ev -s, under j the massed eoiTS of her copper hair above : the solid black of her robe—a rich subj Jeet for a master artist. f j Milllcent made what the lawyers call ft “good witness.” Neither hesitant in her answers, nor yet eager; never vol ! unteering information, never making a deduction or an inference; modest in deineamir. yet not shy nor embarrassed, giving full answers without being vol able —a “good witm-ss.” There was no peculiarity in her utterance except that occasional pause before a cnmmofl word which Myra had noticed in her first interview in the Bronx flat. Her direct testimony was mainly a repetition of what Scatters had told about tlie* events before and after the tire. At lines she was overcome with i emotion especially when some of the growsome details had to be retold, but on tho whole she kept her self-mastery very well. Nothing n*w was developed. Phe was posit ive in h<-r Identification of the body. Myra was surprised that the lawyers had not brought out anything about her sacrifice of her fortune to enable h”i husband to continue his experiments. Tho girl was beginning to understand that they had some purpose in not presenting It, that a trial is a contest of skill, not a proceeding to established every fact in a caso. witness is yours.” Min's counsel bowed to the opposing nrrav of legal lights. fhe'*Judge ordered . a recess and the crowd poured out of { the room. "Say, wait till that Brownson chap gives that Milllcent skirt the third de. pre -d on cros, examination Wait till he springs h.s bunch of yeggs on the Jury, oh, mama, the hot stuff s coming now.” Myra was shocked when she heard that in the crowd. She hoped Milllcent had r.ut heard. CHAPTER MIL Artlur Brownson cross-examined. Myra e.'llld not c.i-n it.and h.-r eyes. Shit me, Indlgtiushin, that she had let him trick her onset ions till -he had. unmasked, given him h-*r love, tilled her with dismay. , There wan no hint of the thumscrew In h’s curly questions He ,coined uninterested In the details of that lost night,, though In- uld j,: e“ -*eT r to tell him h*'.v mui h celluloid was in the -hack. He se.-m 1 to be trying to establish an ad-n:!--i"n that there tves a much larger quantity that m-eded. the foundation, evt- i dent Iy. "fa charge that the inflammable stuff hi 1 -been -<>red to insure the destruction of everything by the tire. He Urged her to admit that she did not know wiieth r the body sin- had hugged and kiss, and was that of Ben Campion, but j she insisted that she knew the charred . remain* were those of the man she loved. ; Suddenly ho naked: “Where wore you bom, Mrs. Cnm- ; p!OH ?” Myra's counsel opposed any examination on fit!-, line, Dnmphin's life had ! i nothing to do with tin* matter at issue. "Ymir honor," said Arthur, "we allege a conspiracy. A * part of the proof of! that allegation we wish to sh w thtft the people concerned, not the plaintiff in tills pasiioular case. Miss Myra Campion, but the person who took out the insurance, Benjamin Campion, bis aids and coadjutors, his wife, his witness, and bus brother, the so-called Doctor j Campion, are people of such a manner of life, have h-d such irregular eiist- , cnees, two of them having been outcasts - from society, that they are exactly tho kind of people who wcvuld conceive and execute such a fraud and nro so lost to all seas* of shame that they would use o pure, innocent girl like the plaintiff, the daughter of one of them, to support their crimes. We have a right to show that that Is the reason of my questions." j Sensation! The c -owd, nerve-tensed, | Myra's counsel trb to limit the inquiry ! to the years sine, Milll.-ent's marriage, j but the justice allowed Arthur to pro-*! coed. “How old are you. Mrs Campion?” ; “Thirty.” “llow old wore you when you married Benjamin Campion?” “Twenty-two.” “So you were married olght years ago. i Was your husband older than you?” “lie was nearly 40 when we were mar i rieil.” ‘Where did you meet your hn band?’* Another r> ar of objections were waved aside by the Justice. “In' the street.” “.You met your husband in the streetwhat street?” “Dovers street.*’ “Is that in the.

GOVERNOR MAY FREE VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR Honor Request of Aged Convict Who Respected His Promise. Something happened in Indiana / recently that Is a challenge to the pessimist, says the February Delineator. It was a glorious thought in the soul of a poor, weak human being. He was a prisoner In the State penitentiary, a lifetermor. convicted of murder. He was an obi man. He had served in the "Civil war In an Ohio regiment. The State newspapers announced the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic. Henry Romlfie. who fought for Ills country in IStU, longed f *r a sight of his old comrades. Finally he wrote n letter ito the Governor of the State, in which he said that “the ranks of the Grand Array r.re pelting thin and only a few years more are left for reunions.” He asked to be paroled* for four days to attend the encampment of tho Grand Army of the Republican. Hp gave his “word oMionor as a soldier” to return to the penitentiary, in which he is doomed to spend the rest of his life, after having this last opportunity to march under the flag. Routine was given his parole. He donned his old blue uniform and wont down to-Indianapolis. He marched with the ancient doughboys past the Governor) down crowded streets of cheering men, attended the reunion banquet, swapped stories with old-timers, and when it was ail over and the other old veterans turned hark to tlieir soldier homes, or itioro fertutv’to abodes. Routine carefully folded his b -loved uniform and knocked nt the barred gate in time to keep his “word of honor ns a soldier.” Governor McCray attended the reunion. He watched Roniine. and Inter a*ke-l the prison authorities Jf he “the word of honor of a soldier.” Tho Governor has half promised the next reunion of tile G. A.

As she w-at atout the house assembling her clothes and those of the childreu so tuat they could all be packed at once, she fought desperately against ft ilqptre to sit down and- cry, and sh* would doubtless have indulged herself t* the extent of giving way to her feelings, now tuat ii. ry was not there -to se* her, if it had net been for a certain pride that made her determine t 6 keep up a brave front b*-f re the children, who were growing more and more excited a* f the prospect of the long trip on tFie train j which would uitiiiiately land them in ■ their aew home in Indianapolis. Even i Roger, who had shared his mother's utter | dejection at first at the idea of leaving | .Mayfield per : .ps forever, was now boast- ' log of the adventure to bis schoolmates whose whistle summoning him to th* frunt gate seemed to be sounding inhcessantly in Mrs. Hooper's ears as sh* I went about doing her packing. Helen's delight at the idea of traveling was so great that she couid talk of nothing else, and even Baby Betty trailed around after h-r mother, demanding when they were to go away in the “cnoo-choo” cars. • As Mrs. Hooper piled layer upon layer • of the bed and table linen she was packing into the big truck that she had to the house as bride, she ' marvelled that she was the only one cf the family who seemed to be so cruelly torn t.y the necessity of going away from the home “he loved. She had been under the impression that during all these year* !t b;i i grown to bo part of the children's lives and that Henry would be desolate at the thought of leaving it, but after ail it was she alone who was dampening the sheets and pillowcases and napkins with her tears as she folded ! them and laid them nway in the trunk | for their journey to the new home. She had banished her gloomy thoughts completely, however, when she presented herself at the Bride's borne at 1 o'clock nnd greeted her neighbors at the cheerful luncheon table. _ “of course It isn't polite to make remarks about your own lunch,” laughed The Bride as she was pouring the coffe** after the last course, “but 1 cooked every bit of it myself and you’ve ail es'erf* every morse! nnd assured me that it was delicious, and I want to tel! you that Mrs. Hooper is entirely responsible for every bit of perfection it possessed.” * “Oh, my dear,” began Mrs. Hooper. “Oh. I don't mean she ccoked it.” the Bride hastened to repiy. “but a year ago when I was married I couldn’t boil water without burning it, so you can see what it has meant to ma to have Mrs. Hooper for a neighbor. I don't know how I shall get along without her.” “Nor I,” said the outspoken Mrs. Cambell. “I'm sure my -housekeeping will ga to the bowwows again.” The menus for the three meals on Tuesday are: BREAKFAST.
