THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, MAY -2,' 19U

INCREASE III RATES 1 EFFECT FRIDAY

General increases la interstate passenger rates became effective yesterday in the Pennsylvania, C. & O. and G. R. & fl, railroads. This order la the result ot a "long and short haul" clause in the interstate commerce act which rules against , discriminations between big cities and intermediate points. The clause was first effective May 1, 1912, but the railroads entered suit Jo have it declared unconstitutional. The date of effectiveness of the clause was then changed to May 1, 1913, 'and loally to May 1,1914, when it went into effect This v will eliminate any possibility of traveling great distances at a less rate than specified. The Commercial club here was planning a campaign against the practice, but since the operation . of the law, it- will- be unnecessary. It was possible formerly to go to Chicago or any other distant point at a saving of ten to twenty -per cent by purchasing tickets at two or three intermediate points. Under the new clause, the charge is made on a straight mileage basis, eliminating inequalities in rates. The Indiana rates remain unchanged, but the Dayton rate has been increased from eighty-five cents to $1 with the Cincinnati rate raised from $1.25 to $1.35, and other rates correspondingly increased. SOCIALIST PARTY TO NOMINATE Socialists of Wayne county will meet at Centerville, May 10, at 2:30 o'clock to nominate candidates for the November election. Jefferson Cox, county chairman, today issued the following call: , "I, as chairman of the Socialist party of Wayne county. Indiana, send this call that the party meet In convention at Centerville, May 10. 1914, at 2:3'0 o'clock, to nominate the various county officers to be voted at the November election, 1914, and such other business as may come before the convention." ASK LABOR PERMITS i . t Boys Say ' Families Need Help. . Apparen-tly about one-fourth of the school boys of the county between the ages of fourteen and sixteen are looking for work for the summer and George Bishop, attendance officer is flooded with a rush of children asking for permits. Some of the boys have completed their year's school work as all Wayne township schools closed officially last night. "My father has been ou of work for a week and 1 have to do something to help the family," was the story one fourteen year old boy told. . He had three weeks of school before him to pass the grade, but by start;.ng to work now, he loses the entire term. His parents signed his application and Attendance Officer Bishop could do nothing but grant the boy a permit. All school children who have completed their term's work were told that no permit is required to work during the summer months. Those who still have some time at school, were told to reconsider and return to school for a few weeks in order not to lose the entire term. r CITY STATISTICS Births. Mr. and Mrs. C.

WOMEN

AT FIRST SUFFRAGE MEETING

Over one hundred Richmond women assembled on the lawn and porch of the North A Street Friends' church, today at noon emphatically Informed about ten men that they and all other women In the country wanted the ballot. In a resolution read by Miss Ruth James and a Declaration of Independence read by Miss Almti. Madden the announcement was made that there was no reason in the world why women shouldn't have the right to vote and that further delay on this question, which the male Inhabitants of the American republic have been sidestepping since 1776, would no longer be tolerated. The mass meeting held under the shadows of the ancient Friends' meeting house, a place of worship of a sect which has been the loyal champion of equal suffrage since its origin, marked a unique event in the political history of Richmond, and the ceremonies were simple and impressive. Expected Demonstration. A few men, apparently attracted to the meeting under the impression that some Pankhurstian stunts, such as window breaking and house burning, were to be the principal features of the program, were greatly impressed with the dignified and earnest demand of the women to participate in the government. "Coming to think of it," remarked one man, leaning over the iron fence, as a pretty girl pinned a "votes for women" button on his coat lapel, "my wife has as much right to vote as some of these here furiners, who don't know two words of American and don't know whether General Coxey or Mr. Wilson is president." It was a representative gathering of women assembled before the Friends' church, aged women with white hair, business women in smart street attire and handsomely gowned society women. The meeting was called to order by Miss Mary A. Stubbs who declared this day in Richmond and throughout the nation marked a new era; that it was the "year One," and that it was in the words of the politician, "all over but the shouting," a prediction confidently made upon realization that whatever the American woman demands she gets. A soft chorus of gloved handclapping greeted this statement and was the signal for Miss Madden to read the women's Declaration of Independ

HUERTA OOSTS MINISTER ROJAS TO PROSTRATE PLOT OF BLANQUET

MEXICO CITY, May 2 The action of President Huerta in forcing Portillio Rojas, minister of foreign affairs, to resign is believed to be due to information secured by the president that his cabinet officer was scheming with General Blanquet, minister of war. to overthrow the government, though the semi-official explanation as given out by officials today was that friction had arisen over the mediation proposals made by the Latin-American nations. The fact that the cabinet officer sent to demand Portillio's resignation did not Include Blanquet was taken as a pointed confirmation that Huerta has broken with the war minister, formerly his closest friend. The committee was made up of Adolfo de la Lama, minister of the treasury; Jose M. Lozana, minister of communications, and Ignacio Alcocer, minister of the interior. They secured MAY GET FORESTER Coulter Recommends stone to City. FierC. E. Fierstone, a graduate forestry student at Purdue university, residing in West Lafayette, Ind., has been recommended to the board of public works as Richmond City forester. He was recommended by Prof. Stanley M. Coulter, of Purdue. The board is interested in a plan, successfully tried at Fort Wayne, of appointing an experienced man as city forester and permitting him to work for property owners on an established schedule of fees, thus obviating the necessity ..of .the city paying t

CONFIDENT

ence, which was being read today throughout the country. The 1914 Declaration. "We, therefore, the women citizens of the United States of America," concluded Miss Madden, "assembled today throughout the nation, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do in the name and by the authority of the organized womanhood of America demanding enfranchisement, solemnly publish and declare that women ought to be politically free. . . . Given our full citizenship and allowed to share in the government, we will be as jealous of the honor and integrity of our country as we have been in the past, when in countless ways we have shown our devotion to the life of the nation, to the liberty of its citizens and to the happiness of all the people." For the first time probably a sharp, blood-tingling bugle call blared forth from under the eyes of the old Quaker meeting house, and then a chorus of women's voices sang the inspiring words of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Later the women Joined in staf ips,;:Ae4v... Appeal to Congress, The resolution read by Miss "James petitions congress "without delay" to proceed in "the most . feasible and practical manner to remove the barriers, which prevent American women from" the exercise of full franchise, and to make our country not a government in which half the people are denied the right of participation, but in truth and reality a democracy." The reading of this brought forth another round of applause and upon motion of Miss Frances Robinson a copy will be sent to the Indiana congressional delegation. Among the women who attended the meeting were Mrs. Anna Vaughan, Mrs. Catherine Wilson, Mrs. Emily Dill and Mrs. Esther King, all over 75 years of age, and Mrs. King, past eighty years. "This is the first time the women of Richmond have ever publicly demanded the ballot," enthusiastically stated Mrs. Vaughan. "I am glad that I have been able to attend this meeting, it Is splendid, and it is so appropriate that it should be held at a Friends meeting house." , At the conclusion of the ceremonies a lunch was served in the basement of the church. Preceding the meeting an automobile, trimmed in yellow, paraded the streets, a bugler sounding army calls. the resignation immediately and so notified President Huerta. Sub-Secretary Resigns. The work of the ministry of foreign relations is practically at a standstill today as Esteva Ruiz, the sub-secretary, also resigned,, refusing to serve any one but Portillio. Senor Ruiz said today: "The resignation of Senor Portillio was caused by a difference of opinion between him and President Huerta regarding the mediation of Argentina, Brazil and Chile. The foreign minister proposed that an envoy be sent to Washington to act in an informative capacity toward the representatives of the nation's intervening, which the president did not approve." The three men most prominently mentioned as candidates for the ministry of foreign affairs are Frederico Gamboa, who formerly held the portfolio; Senor Lozano and Senor Emilio Rabasa. him a salary, and providing an expert to conserve the shade trees' of Richmond, which are famous throughout the state, but many of which have been and are still being ruined by "tree butchers" posing as experts. The board will communicate with Mr. Fierstone and will also make a more complete investigation of the 'ort Wayne forestry plan. BUY $4,500 BONDS The entire $4,500 bond issue in Perry township was purchased yesterday by Breed, Elliott and Harrison, of Indianapolis, at a premium of $80. There were four bidders, the only one from Wayne township being the Dickinson Trust company. The bond issue was ordered to pay for a $4,300 addition to the Perry township school in Economy, under construction by the Miller-Kemjper company, of this city.

WORK OF PRISONERS SAVES COUHTY $150

The use of prisoners to work on the roads of the county is meeting with the approval of farmers, W. O. Jones, county superintendent of highways, said today. In eighteen days the county made $150 for working six prisoners a day on the road instead of employing men at $2 a day, besides paying the prisoners' expenses, including meals, transportation and a guard. Road expenses increased the past month because of the large amount of material and machinery purchased. The nine road superintendents, paid out for wages, including their own, fuel for road rollers, cost of road machinery purchased in the last few weeks, and other incidental expenses, a total of $1,726.98. For that sum of money every mile of the 240 constituting Wayne county's quota of county roads, has been gone over. Much of it was graded and rolled, making the surface like new. The system has now been reduced to such a fine point that about a mile of road can be graded and rolled for such a small sum as $7 or $8 dollars. Superintendent Jones wants double the number of prisoners at work and thus double the saving to the county. I M, C, A, TO LOSE TWO MORE OFFICERS With the resignations of Arthur Roach, physical director and Ora Hughbanks, assistant secretary, the Y. M. C. A. board of directors will have two more vacancies to fill, making three new officers with which the association will start off the winter, 1914 season. It was officially announced today that the resignations of the two men will be handed to the board of directors at the next meeting. Mr. Roach filled the place of Percy Paul Pierce February 10, when Mr. Pierce returned to New York. It was with the understanding then that Mr. Roach would leave about the middle of June. He will take charge of a summer camp. Mr. Roach came here from Dayton and Is well liked. Hughbanks has been connected with the local association for about five years and for the past year has been the assistant under General Secretary Learner. He will leave to enter a training school for general secretaries of Y. M. C. A.'s. Mr. Hughbanks is well known in the city. He was a student at Earlham College for three years and was captain of the foot ball team until he graduated. He was regarded as one of Earlham's best all-around athletes while he attended the school. It is probable that'the vacancies of Mr. Roach, Mr. Hughbanks and H. A. Pettijohn, retiring boys' work director, will be left open until late in August when steps will be taken to have permanent men placed in the offices. Temporary men will be secured to take up some phases of the work necessary in the summer. However, It is expected that the association will be operated during the summer on a shortened force. WIFE DESERTER RETURNS FOR HER Wesley Martin, who deserted his wife in this city last Sunday after a domestic dispute in the covered wagon in which they were traveling, appeared at the Home for the Friendless today and asked that he be permitted to take Mrs. Martin away with him. His request was refused because the woman is mentally unbalanced and in a poor physical condition. Martin then told the authorities that he intended to establish a home in Chlllicothe. O., and that when he was able to support her he would send for her, to which arrangement the authorities agreed. CAPTAIN SANFORD LEAVES RICHMOND Following the vacation of the local branch of the Salvation Army by Captain Leo Sanford and wife, Tuesday, Captain and Mrs. Alfred Jewel, stationed at Linton, Ind., will come to take .charge of the army work in Richmond. Captain Sanford has only been in the city a few months, succeeding Captain Vendeville. He makes the second captain to leave the work here in less than a year. His successor has had wide experience as an officer of the institution. MAKE CHILDREN WARDS OF BOARD Seven children under thirteen years old were made wards of the board of children's guardians today in the juvenile court by Judge Fox. They are George and Herbert Martin. Adelbert and Margaret Stevens, Paul Comstock, John Lee Pharis nd Coweba Wilts. Five of the children wijl be placed in homes of the city and probably the Paris and Comstock boys will be sent to White's Institute. It is said the boys were incorrigible. The others were classified as "dependent and neglected" children. GEO.
