WOMEN

DESERTING SAYS WRITERJOHNSON Author of "Salamander" Sees Men as the Real Worshippers of Future; Females Agostic. Women are becoming agnostic. Girls are going too fast. Men will come closer to the church during the next generation, but women will drift away. Women are going to throw all conventions to the wind. The revolt of the fair sex is going to be social, industrial and moral. Church pews will be deserted by women In the next generation and worship left to men, according to Owen Johnson, nephew of Henry U. Johnson, an attorney of this city. Young Johnson Is author of "The Salamander." In a daring interview the author discussed the so-called feminist movement and made the striking declaration that women are becoming agnostic. Men Long Out of Church. Men have long since slipped out from under the influence of the church." he said. "Being naturally orderly human beings, acting with forethought, they have come to see that they could establish little religions of their own in their own minds. Science has caused them to question many of the things the previous generation accepted as religious truth. "The women are now assuming the same attitude. They are becoming agnostic. They have ceased to stand in awe and fear of the church. That is, of course, this type of adventurous Salamander girls like those who play the leading parts in my story. Woman has been for centuries a benevolent little parasite. The new American girl is beginning to assert herself. Girls Going Too Fast. "But the trouble is that they are going too fust. You can not run the express through the subway until the rails are down. The women for the most part are not ready for this revolt against convention. If they succumb to the influence of the Salamanders there is going to be havoc." "How are you going to stop them?" was asked. "The men are going to stop them, if they are stopped," replied the author. "We men are going to see that it will be necessary for us to get back under the mantle of religious faith. We are going to see the need of setting an example for our wives and daughters. I predict that the next generation will see the men closer to the church than they are now, and the women will be just as much farther away. They are going to thrown all customs and conventions to the four winds. They are goinc to attempt to make their revolt complete. It will be social, industrial, moral in its scope. They will carry it in'o their fashions and their modes of dress." CLUBS FE ENDORSESSUFFRAGE Resoluticn for Right, After Hard Fight, Reaches Floor and Receives Votes. CHICAGO. June 13. The resolution providing for an endorsement of woman suffrage was adopted by the Twelfth hu-nnial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs today. TIh resolution was placed before the convention by the resolution committee at the opening of today's SHSsinn and after a brief debate the delegate., voted to adopt it. The resolution was drawn up by Mrs. J. A. Leach of Kentucky and was considered "just, barely a suffrage resolution." It admitted in a guarded manner t lint tiie general proposition of suffrage is all right in its way, but does not bind the convention to it nor will pny concerted action by the federation follow its passage. Many viewed the resolution merely as an effort of the federation officers to compromise with the suffrage leaders in order to prevent any outbreak. The resolution was drawn up late last night and shortly after 7 o'clock this morning was presented to the members of the resolution committee who put it into shape and reported it out ready for a vote on the convention floor. " "It. is a most conservative resolution," declared Miss Helen Boswell, head of the political science committee. "Its passage means that the convention as a body approves of suffrage, but it does not mean that. the. General Federation of Women's Clubs is pledged to aid the work." Many suffrage leaders expressed disappointment at the tone of the resolution. They had hoped to force the introduction of a resolution providing for unqualified endorsement. CROP OUTLOOK GOOD Indiana Farmers Garner Big Wheat Harvest. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., June 13 Crop conditions in Indiana are the best this year, according to the opinion of local grain men who have been following the situation closely. With the beginning of the wheat harvest in the southwestern part of the state this week, the conclusion has been reached that the harvest will be one of the largest ever gathered in Indiana. H. E. Kinney, a local grain expert, predicts that the crop will exceed the government estimate of 40,000,000 busheis by fully ten per cent. The stand of corn throughout the state is said to be almost perfect. The hot weather of the last few weeks has materially aided the crop although it has damaged oats. Chile sold $20,718,968 worth of nitrate of soda to the United States in UU3.

DERATION

FIVE-YEAR-OLD LAD LEAVES SICK MOTHER TO BECOME SON OF CALIFORNIA COUPLE

little Walter McGee, five years old next month, the only child of Mrs. Minnie McGee, 1032 North H street, who is a helpless, bedridden victim of rheumatism, is a greatly excited youngster. He is to leave mother, perhaps, forever, and become the adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. Cook, who live at Glendale, Cal., near Los Angeles, and he is to make the long trip to his new home in far-off California, tagged like an express parcel, all by his lonesome. Railroad officials have agreed to deliver the child safe and Bound to Mr. and Mrs. Cook. It is a great sacrifice Mrs. McGee is to make; this separation from the curly haired younster whom she fairly worships, "But," she said to Miss Florence Benner, city visiting nurse, "I have no future to offer Walter. I will never be any better, so my baby must go where he will be properly cared for and grow up to be a fine man." Then she kisses his face with all the intensity of mother-love, and smiles very bravely. Nurse to Help. "Mother," Walter asks, "who will help you when I go? Who will wash your face and bring you water?" "Miss Benner, dear," replies Mrs. McGee. "She will continue to help mother." "Will you. Miss Benner?" the youngster asks the nurse, turning to her for reassurance, '"cause if you won't I will stay with mother." He is told again that mother will be

Display of Emblems to Honor Birth of Flag June 14, 1777

After repeated appeals which have been made for the proper observance of Flag Day, tomorrow, by the patriotic societies of the city, they believe many Richmond homes and business houses will respond by displaying the national emblem. No public exercises have been arranged, although several pastors will touch on the origin and history of the flag in their Sunday morning sermons. The story of the stars and stripes, describing its evolution through various stages to the present emblem is interesting. Story of the Flag. In September, 1775 there was displayed in the South what is by many believed to be the first distinctively American flag. It was blue with a white crescent, and matched the dress of the troops, who wore caps inscribed "Liberty or death." The colonists desired to adopt a common flag; but they had not yet declared independence and were not at first, seeking independence. They took the British flag as they knew it, and made a new colonial flag by dividing the red field with white stripes into 13 alternate red and white stripes. This is known as the Cambridge flag, because it was first unfurled over Washington's headquarters at Cambridge. Mass., on January 1, 1776. It complied with the law of 1707 by having the Union Jack on it; it also represented the 13 colonies by the 13 stripes. Drop Union Jack. As the colonists gradually became converted to the idea that independence from the mother country was necessary, they began to modify the flag, first by leaving off the Union Jack and using only the 13 horizontal stripes. The modified flags were not always red and white, but regularly consisted of combinations of two colors selected from red, white, blue and yellow. The final modification was the replacement of the Union Jack by the white stars on a blue field. POINCARE'S FATE HANGS IN BALANCE PARIS. France. June 13. In a desperate effort to save his political life, President Poincare appealed today to to Rene Yiviani, former minister of instruction, to form a cabinet to succed the minis! rv which resigned yesterday. 1'pon the success of Viviani. who is a Socialist, will probably depend the j political fate of President. Poincare. it lie is unable to form a new cabinet or if lie (ioes succeed in making up a ministry which is forced from office, President Poincare will undoubtedly have to surrender to his political enemies. The gravest political situation of the present century faces the government of France. In addition to the dissension over the throe-year military law and other governmental policies, the national treasury is empt yand the governments is not in a position to borrow more money. CHEMICAL NO GOOD AS TRASH REDUCER The receipt of a letter from G. B. Young, health commissioner of Chicago, has defeated the hopes of the board of public works that the reduction of garbage by a chemical process, the invention of a Chicago man, might to a great extent solve this vexatious question in Richmond. Previous to the receipt of Mr. Y'oung's letter the board members had read an article in an engineering magazine indorsing the new disposal plan. City Engineer Charles wrote a letter to its inventor, who replied that by his system three times the amount of garbage collected in Richmond could be disposed of and the by-product would have a commercial value. Then came the letter from Dr. Young, stating that the chemical process had not been proved altogether satisfactory. He said it was not a simple process and that its economical result might prove disappointing. So the bothersome garbage disposal question still remains unsolved in the hands of the board of works members. FAST KILLS MAN ATLANTA, 111., June 13. Mrs. J. H. Thompson died nere today after fasting forty days in an effort to gain reliei from indigestion.

well cared for in his absence, so very happy and contented, he prattles joyously of the long trip in the "choo choo" train, not knowing that his anticipated pleasures are real tragedies to the helpless woman who helpless in her bed listens to him, unable to take him in her arms and cuddle him. Visit California. Last year Mrs. McGee and Walter went to Los Angeles in hope that her condition might improve. Instead her condition became worse bo, with her son, she returned to Richmond. While in California, Mr. and Mrs. Cook became infatuated with mischievous little Walter and lately they have bee"h writing Mrs. McGee to send the boy to them, promising him a good home until manhood. Mrs. McGee has finally decided to make a mother's supreme sacrifice and Walter, with his long ticket pinned in his pocket and a large tag tied to his coat is to go alone to his new home. Mrs. McGee has no money to pay the child's fare to California, and she has not asked the Cooks to meet this expense, so Miss Benner has agreed to raise the necessary $33.55 by subscription. The Penny Club, one or two other organizations and a few individuals have promised to contribute. Others who desire to do so can communicate with Miss Benner at the Commercial Club.

The stars are the only distinctive feature of the American flag. The charming story which credits Betsy Ross with making the first flag of stars and stripes is still accepted by historians. When Washington suggested the six-pointed star, she demonstrated the ease with which a five pointed star could be made by folding a piece of paper and producing one with a single clip of the scissors. Some writers are of the opinion that both stars and stripes in the flag were derived from the coat of arms of the Washington family, but this theory is not generally held. Congress Acts. The official adoption of our first flag was in 1777. On June 14 of that year the Continental Congress passed an act providing that "the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation." The 13 stars were arranged in a circle to symbolize the perpetuity of the union of the States. Vermont was admitted to the Union in 1791 and Kentucky in 1792. It was felt that these two new States ought to be recognized on the flag, so in 1794 Congress passed an act making the flag 15 stars and 15 stripes. This remained the flag of the United States throughout the War of 1812, until there were 20 States in the Union. In lSltJ, an effort was again made to modify the flag so that all the new States would be represented on it. To be continually adding stripes would make the flag very awkward in shape and appearance, so after arguing the matter for two years. Congress decided to return to the original 13 stripes and one star for each State. Congress has never determined the arrangement of the stars nor the shape and proportions of the flag, and there has been great variation, especially in the grouping of the stars. There are still many who believe that the symbolic circular grouping of stars should be restored. ORDERS MEAT SUPPLY OF SHOP DESTROYED Although commenting favorably on the conditions in local hotels, restaurants and meat markets in general. Dr. Lou Clem, city food and dairy inspector, who, with C. L. Hutchins of the state food and drug department made an inspection of sanitary conditions of local business places, asserted that several places had been found that came far from filling the demands for cleanliness. Dr. Clem said th" better class of hotels and restaurants in the city are kept in good sanitary condition, and that with few exceptions all were compling with the law. Mr. Hutchins also expressed his approval of the methods in vogue in the markets of. the city. In one meat market about one hundred pounds of meat was found that was declared unfit for consumption. The owner of the shop, whose identity was not made public, was ordered to destroy the meat and to clean his place of business. Dr. Clem has filed no charges.

Welcome to Rebels. The mediators have made it plain that they will welcome the sending of delegates from the revolutionist party at any time under terms of an armistice.

GARY, Ind., June 13. Arthur Tracy, 18 years old, who was hypnotized by Prof. Griffiths and who for more than twenty-four hours lay on his back and moved his feet in imitation of a bicycle rider, was brought out from under the spell today after the Professor had been arrested and threatened with violence by angry citizens. Tracy was hypnotized Thursday night by Griffith who gave the boy the illusion that he was riding a bicycle. The spectators were greatly amused and Griffith refused to awaken him, finally transferring the boy with his feet still peddling, to a public showwindow. Members of the Woman's Club protested to the police and six officers carried the boy to the police station. Griffith refused to awaken him and it was necessary for two policemen to hold the boy's legs for eight hours. Mayor Johnson then personally arrested Griffith and only after threats of personal injury had been made against him did he consent to release tne boy from his hypnotic state. Griffith will be charged with child cruelty. Griffith recently hypnotized Battling Nelson, the prize fighter, and made him dance and sins before a large crowd o spectator

help in hastening the agreement. But they are convinced that the United States will give its consent here to no scheme which In the end will be rejected by Carrania. The Mexican delegates have attempted to secure an agreement upon the date at which provisional government is to be created. They want it

placed in power as soon as nossime perhaps within a very few days. The Americans don't believe that an election can be held until the latter part of August and that the establishment of a provisional government is not essentially a matter for haste. Two weeks probably will be allowed from the date or tne signing or a protocol. The form of government may be either that of a provisional president, chosen here or a provisional president and four cabinet chiefs, all of whom shall be selected in the mediation conference and two of whom shall represent the Huertesta party. It is conceded that the. provisional president and any cabinet must be of Constitutionalist sympathies. In the plank already adopted is included provision that the laws of Mexico shall remain unchanged during the term of office of the provisional president and all elective offices in the republic shall be filled anew at the election to be called this year.
