' The honor of being the first woman to address the Richmond Commercial club fell to Miss Girda Sebbelov, secretary of the Ladies' Campfire, formerly of Copenhagen, Denmark, now re siding in New York, Miss Sebbelov attended the meeting, of the club last evening in company with Mrs. S. E. i Swayne, this city, Mrs. A. J. Rumely, Mrs. E. Rumely and Mrs. John E. Winn, 'all of Laports. Miss Sebbelov, when called upon to made an address, spoke on the "Relation of Woman to Industry." Other speakers were L. W. Ellis, publicity man for the M. Rumely comjpany; J. A. Rumely, president of the IM. Rumely company, and S. S. Stratum, former secretary of the company. The main addres of the evening was i that of Mr. Ellis, who spoke on "Industry, the Farmer and Machinery." President Swayne, of the club, welIcomed the new members that had been : gained in the membership campaign, land felicitated the city on having a , commercial organization which in proportion to the population of the city is the largest in the United States. He read a letter from Dr. E. A. jRumely, general manager of the M. Rumely. company, in which he said that the company intends to make the Gaar-Scott plant one of the most important ones in the combine. He pointed out that the plant now employs 101 more men than it did when the plant was absorbed. Miss Sebbelov' Address. The short speech of Miss Sebbelov was warmly received by the club members. Her residence among strange peoples and her knowledge of the condition of woman in far off lands added interest to her address. She said in part: "Industry owes women a great debt. I lived for a long time among the Eskimos of Greenland, and there learned a jgreat deal about the nature of woman's l-work in primitive times, for in GreenHand they have not advanced much. In summertime, the men go out each day and kill from ten to fifteen seals and walruses. They bring these home to their families and turn them over to i their wives and other female relatives ito dress. "The women, from the hides of the animals, make boats, clothes and oth;er things necessary to man's comfort ; and pleasure. They dry the meat of :the animals for use during the winter, even using the bones for stretching the , skins, and wasting absolutely nothing. Through the long winter nights she i embroideries lace, makes Iderdown coats. "We find the men of today building jgreater than ever, but women have not kept pace with men. The women of jtoday are fast losing their chance for ! achievement. They are not preparing jthemselves and their families for society. We are too apt to measure a fwoman of today by her wealth, beauty, or diamonds. Do not judge a woman by the smoothness of her hand. Con sider what she has done for the com munity. I would rather take hold of a woman's hand which is rough with honest work than one which is smooth from lack of work. The women in lowjr society .are overworked, while the (women higher up are not working jnough. Address of Mr. EMU. Mr. Ellis said in part: "Power centered In the factory has jcreated great industries, and its injfluence on transportation has expandjed the community from a straggling (Tillage to a city of skyscrapers. What power and machinery have done howjever, has not been confined entirely to (the great centers of capital and population.

MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM H. HAYWOOD. NEW YORK, Nov 11 William H. Haywood, known as the handsomest man in Nebraska, once a county judge and contender for the Governorship of that State, afterward secretary of the Republican National committee and still under thirty-five, has been made the defendant in a sensational divorce suit brought by his wife, Sarah C Haywood in Omaha. Haywood now resides in New York, where he has established an enviable practice Mrs Haywood alleges extreme cruelty covering a period of eight years. Haywood refuses to discuss the case. Haywood is six feet, two inches tall, and looks like Adonis and the typical modern athlete rolled into one. One glance satisfies as to his pre-eminence as a blue ribboner in the looks class.

HE LOVED CARDS E THAN WIFE Walter Cassel Is Sued for Divorce on This and Other Allegations. From the allegations contained in a divorce complaint filed in the Wayne circuit court this morning it is gathered that Nellie Cassel and her husband, Walter H. Cassel did not have smooth sailing on the seas of matrimony. Mrs. Cassel, the plaintiff in the action, hopes to obtain a divorce decree on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. A number of specile instances are set forth in which she' alleges that the defendant failed miserably to live up to his marriage vows and her marriage ideals. During a critical illness, the plaintiff alleges, the defendant struck her, and called her vile names, and that on other days during her illness he remained away from the house for two days at a time, and when she asked him to explain his absen'ce, he replied that he had been playing cards in a saloon. The plaintiff alleges she has reasons to believe that the defendant paid undue attention to Mrs. Myrtle Fye, as she has often seen them together before and since their separation, Ju ly 26, 1911. Since their separation, the plaintiff states she has been compell ed to take in washings and keep boar ders to support her two children, whose custody she asks the court to grant her. At one time, the plaintiff alleges, the defendant was arrested on the charge of wife desertion but was not prosecuted as a contract was made between the two, but that the defendant has failed to keep his part of the contract. Mrs. Cassel asks $5 per week from the defendant for the support of their children. 350 WERE ENROLLED Free Night School Enrollment Breaks Record.

MOR

PORKER IS AGAIN ONJATIVE SOIL Police Remand Him Under Guard to His Home South of City.

"Easy there man" exclaimed an attache at police headquarters. "He's a bad character. One of you keep in front of him, and one at the side and I'll walk back of him. Don't let him escape." This was addressed to a prisoner who had been confined in the city jail for almost one week. This morning, under a heavy guard, the aforesaid prisoner was being marched from his dark cell in the bastile to the alley immediately north of the city building where he was to be placed into a conveyance and removed to a safer place of confinement. This move was decided upon by the heads of the police department after a hurried conference, there having been a number of threats to break into the jail and mob the prisoner, cannibal-wise. Although the department had carefully planned the removal of the prisoner during the early dawn, the latter, upon reaching the alley broke away from his captors and running at break neck speed, dashed into a nearby yard, and attempted to hurdle a low fence. But his feet became tangled in grape vines and he was recaptured by the breathless pursuers close upon his heels. Upon the police court docket, the prisoner was slated as follows: "Name Poland China; arrested Nov. 7; officers making arrest WTenger, Rottinghaus and Yingling; place south Sixth; time 1:30; color dark; age unknown; effects nothing but grunts." The poland china hog, belonging to Connie O'Connell, a farmer living south of the city, was placed in a wagon and removed to the farm. He was found by three patrolmen in a dark doorway on South Sixth street and had been placed in the city jail for safe keeping. The police are glad to be rid of the porker, as since his captivity he had been a source of continual annoyance. HE LOVED HIS FRIEND Edlen Carried Razor to a Dance to Shave Friend. No remarks should be passed by an onlooker on the terpsichorean art, or lack of it, as the case may be, of another especially on a dance floor. This moral was taught Robert Edlen, a negro, last evening when he entered into what he supposed to be a friendly argument on the above named subject with others at a dance. The argument grew heated and Edlen. in order to avoid further controversy, it was said, left the dance hall. However, one of the participants in the argument believing that Edlen intended to "get him" later, notified a passing patrolman and Edlen was arrested. The complainant informed the patrolman that Edlen had a gun on his person. Upon searching Edlen, Patrolman Menke ascertained that the weapon was a razor. In police court this morning Edlen was given a hearing on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. He pleaded guilty, but explained that he was just taking the little shaving instrument to a friend to have it honed. Mayor Zimmerman suspended : sentence.

SCHRANK'S I

NSANITY

TO BEJETERMINED Man Pleads Guilty to Attacking Roosevelt, but the Court Refuses Plea. ) (National News Association) MILWAUKEE, Nov. 12. John Schrank, who attempted the assassination of Theodore Roosevelt on the night of October 14 pleaded guilty today to a charge of assault with intent to kill. The hearing was held before Judge Backus, who declined to accept the plea until he had heard a report on the man's sanity. Court was then adjourned until 2 p. m., in order that the examination might be made. The trial would have been a mere formality except for the appointment 1 of a commission to test Schrank's sanI ity. Schrank was led before the judge and the charge was read to him. "John Schrank," said the judge, "you are charged with assault with Intent to kill Theodore Roosevelt. Are you guilty or not guilty?" "I wish to plead guilty," the prisoner replied. "In explanation I wish to say that I did not mean to kill Mr. Roosevelt but merely to wound him. I shot him as a warning that two terms as president of the United States were enough. I was not trying to hurt the candidate of a third party, as I believe a third party has a right to enter the field. I shot to warn citizen Roosevelt that two terms as president were enough and to force him to desist from his attempt to seize an honor never before granted an American citizen. That is all, Your Honor." Schrank spoke as a man who had written out what he had to say and memorized it. District Attorney Zabel then addressed the court. "Your Honor," he said, "The district attorney believes this man to be a paranoiac and would not be a party to sending a man needing mental treatment to the state prison. I therefore would submit that the state wishes to appoint a commission of medical experts to decide the matter of defendant's sanity before proceeding further." The district attorney's , request for adjournment was granted and the court announced that It would name a commission of five alienists to examine Schrank. The examination may require two days. Schrank was the least interested man in the court room. He was heavily guarded when taken to the court for fear a demonstration might be made. Hundreds tried to force their way into, the room but were restrained by deputies. A telegram was received by District Attorney Zabel, which read as follows : "Please be lenient with the man who attempted to assassinate the man who assassinated the Republican party." It was signed by G. Y. Banchor, 44 Broadway, New York. MISS HUBBARD IS A PERFECT WOMAN 'Nation.! News Association) ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 12.

Senor Canalejas, Strongest

Statesman in the Kingdom, Assassinated by an Anarchist Today, SLAYER SUICIDED WITH SAME WEAPON Premier Killed While Standing on Steps of a Government Office. Ignored Death Threats. (National News Association) MADRID, Spain, Nov. 12. Premier Canalejas was assassinated by an an archist in this city today. The premier was shot to death as he stood upon the steps of a government building The assailant, who subsequently committed suicide with the same weapon, was identified as Manuel Cardinal Zarrate, a dangerous radical, who has been under police guard. News of the assassination rapidly spread throughout the city and creat ed intense excitement. The anarchist, who evidently had been waiting for some time to get a chance to fire up on the premier, rushed forward as though to address a petition to the government official when he appeared on the steps of the home office. Because of the dangerous state of politi cal unrest in Spain the premier had Deen repeatedly warned to retain a guard about his person, but Senor Canalejas paid no attention to this Injunction and frequently went about unattended. He had received a number of death threats. The police believe that the assassination is a direct outcome of the execution of Prof. Fer rer, the Republican who was put to death for his radical writings more than a year ago. How Tragedy Occurred. The assassination was witnessed by a number of persons, but happened so quickly that they could give no aid As the anarchist sprang toward the premier he pulled a handkerchief from hi 8 hip pocket, in which was concealed a revolver. For an' Instant Canalejas turned his head slightly. Zarrate, taking quick aim, fired and the bullet struck, the premier behind the right ear. Before he toppled over a second shot was fired, which also struck him in the head. As several soldiers, who-guarded the door of the home office sprang forward the assass in turned the revolver toward his heart and pulled the trigger. The two bodies fell within a few feet of each other. The premier was dead when physicians arrived a few minutes la ter. In his hand he clasped some pa pers which he was carrying when shot. Those standing near the scene declared that when Zarrate fired the second shot he exclaimed, "thus I avenge my master. Search of the assassin's clothes re vealed anarchistic literature, which the police seized. Canalejas was generally known as Spain's strongest statesman and was the chief adviser of King Alfonso. He was 62 years of age and sprang into prominence during the controversy over the separation of church and state in Spain. THE CODMHEVISED Commercial Club Committee Recasts Ordinance. The building code ordinance which recently was referred to a Commercial club committee to be recast, so that a house could be constructed by a person of ordinary means, is ready for the council. The code has been entirely remodelled by W. K. Bradbury, chairman of the committee, and Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the club. Codes of the same kind from various cities the size of Richmond, were studied and these with the Information received from Washington have formed the nucleus of the revised code. Secretary Jordan said that the code is now ready for council, and that body can take action on it at the next meeting. "The code was always such that a poor man could build a home, but the council did not seem to think so," explained Mr. Jordan. "In its revised form it is similar to the original code, excepting that is worded dlffer-ently.-Attention was recently directed to the necessity of a building code in Richmond by the construction of buildings on Main street, which In the estimation of the members of the city council did not measure up to the standard of other structures on that thoroughfare. The city council then resurrected the old draft of the code, and expressed willingness to adopt it, provided no hardship were worked on a laboring man, who wanted to build an unpretentious home. It is expected that the new code will also contain a clause regulating the storage of gasoline in" the fire district Jby garages and business houses.;

He Thinks It Would Be Nice

to Allow the Companies to Submit Their Self-made Contracts. CONDITION NOW IS BAD, HE ANNOUNCES Kennepohl Says a Few Speci fication Changes Are Required, but the Board Is in No Hurry. Impatient at the delay of the board of works in determining whether it will modify the specifications of the water works contract proposal on which the city of Richmond desires bids, the E. M. Camp field company to day addressed a communication to the mayor and the common council. The communication alleges It Is necessary to grant a contract at once, and points out alleged weaknesses in the present water system of the city. It maintains that the present water supply does not afford sufficient fire protection, indicates that although the franchise of the Richmond City Water Works has expired consumers are compelled to pay meter rent and high rates for water, and insists that a simple contract between the city and a water works company would clarify the present muddle. B. A. Kennepohl, president of the board of works, said today that he did not know when the board would consider the changes asked in the specifications of the contract proposal. He said that some changes are necessary, as none of the companies will bid on the present draft, but said he did not know when the changes would . be made. City Attorney Gardner said he had not been informed of the pleasure of the city authorities regarding the specifications, and that be had heard that the board o( works would consider the problem Thursday. President Kennepohl said he did not believe that the question would be presented, then! The text of the Campfleld communication is appended: Campfleld Seeks Action. Gentlemen: In view of the importance of the matter and the great danger in delay we wish to supplement onr short letter of a few days ago with some addi tional facts. The nresent Richmond Hltv Water Works contract and franchise expired on October first, 1912. Since then we have been needlessly compelled to pay meter rent at 25 cents per month and higher water rates, and will continue so to do until a new contract and franchise is awarded. Had there been no unnecessary- delay all this would have been avoided. We also wish to call your attention to the night of April Sth, 1903, when the Colonial Building burned, which was about four and a half years ago. and at that time the water works system was inadequate for extinguishing such a fire; and If it had not been for the Dayton fire engine pumping water from the cellar of the same building, in all probability the entire block between seventh and eighth streets would have been burned. Since that time there has been no increase in the water supply, the pumping equipment, reservoir or mains. When a new contract and franchise is made it will require at least a year to place new mains, receiving reservoir pumps, etc. The city of Richmond is growing both in size and population and a great deal more water is being consumed than was consumed in ..908. He Predicts. Big Fire. Sooner or later Richmond will be visited by another conflagration like that of the Colonial building, or, the F. & N. Lawn Mower plant. Have you made any arrangements to meet such a conflagration? Tour water plant is much weaker today than it was In 1908. . Our city is larger; the buildings are taller, and more chance for fires. A water works built to suit the times in 1884. twenty-eight years ago. when Richmond had about half the population and one third the present area, should not be expected to supply Richmond today. Considering the present size of Richmond and the way it is growing, it is a question whether a new twenty inch main will be sufficient. We do not wish to sound the alarms, but you might just as well understand the question first as last. In our opinion the present water mains and other oarts are Inadequate. Read the Maury Report. It will tell you some of the weaknesses. When you take Into consideration that it - will require - nine to twelve months to complete them, the laying of the new mains and adding a new water supply cannot be begun too soon. Furthermore We are anxiously waiting to hand you a proposition for a gas franchise. The rate the citizens are now paying for gas. is exhorbitmL In our opinion, better gas at a much cheaper rate can be secured in t new franchise. We stand ready po

The latest of these advices which came by way of Kusje. from Constantinople, stated that the greatest battle of modern times is being fought along the Chatalja defenses. The Turkish reinforcements who arrived from Asia Minor were rushed to the firing line by Mazim Pacha, the Turkish minister of war, immediately upon their arrival In the Ottoman capital. These troops bore the brunt of the fighting and upheld the confidence which their commander Imposed In them. They were much better equipped than the soldiers who have been upon the firing line and showed dashing courage throughout the engagement. Veterans Are Withdrawn. The remaining soldiers of the grand army of 'Thrace, beaten back from Adrianople, have been receiving the full shock of the Bulgarian attack since the battle of Chatalja opened, were ordered to the read today. Fighting is continuous over a battle line extending twenty miles long from Lake Derkos on the east to Bejuk on the west. According to the despatches the battle line lies along a wide valley paral,el th outer line of Turkish I wor- nere is anomer series oi ions known as the inner works. The Bul garians occupy the northern side of the valley and the Turks hold the plateau which rises on the southern side. Bulgarian artillery lies along the heights on the northern edge and for over a week has tried by a smashing t bombardment to silence the guns In the Turkish forts. -. Trenches and redoubts with cannon1 mounted upon them lie between the! fortresses and blockhouses for the pro-! tection of the Turkish infantry and! cavalry. A stream of water runs through the, valley from the Northeast to the south-! west, cutting the bowl-shaped depression In half. ; Across this stream artillery than-' dered night and day. Immediately om 1 occupying the heights north of the' Turkish defense the Bulgarians threw; up earthworks for the protection of the soldiers and the camp was placed J several miles in the rear, so as to be; out of range of the projectiles. With; a view to protection the wings heavy bodies of infantry were massed on the; two Bulgarian wings at Derkos and; Bojuk. . . . The heaviest artillery was concen-j trated In the center.
