HOW TO TREAT WIFE DESERTERS
They Should Co Punished Like Army
Deserters Look at Hoch, Who Mar
ried and Abandoned or Killed Thirty-two
Women, Correspondent Says.
Cincinnati, Ohio. Tho subjoined
open letter to President Taft. was
adopted unanimously as the sense of
the Susan B. Anthony Club, composed
of representative Cincinnati women.
Dr. Sarah M. Slewors, President of the
club, was authorized to forward It to
Mr. Taft.
To Hon. William II. Taft. President of
tho United States:
Out of tho din raised by a multitude
of voices against the women of our
country for race suicide, for going Into
lndustrln' and professional pursuits
Instead of marrying and rearing largo
families as their grandmothers did, I
wish to raise one voice for a Federal
law that will protect mothers and
children and compel truant fathers to
help support their children.
Deserters from families of children
should bo pursued and punished as
diligently as deserters from the army
and navy. As the laws now stand a
decree for support given to tho moth
er of children can be evaded by the
father going to another State to live.
In Cincinnati the Humane Socloty
reported 2,7700 doserting fathers In
eleven months up to Dec. 1. In Chica
go 1,500 men deserted their families
In three winter months on the west
side alone. The Humane Societies of
other large cities could no doubt re
port similar numbers of deserters.
What beepmes of these men? Do
they become homeless tramps? Not
they. But they go to another State
and pass themselves off for single
men and marry some unwary girl.
Seven years ago a enso of multiple
bigamy was apprehended, who con
fessed to having a wife in thirty-two
different States. His crimes were
treated as a joke, and tho conse
quences to the deluded wives, and to
the faith and trust of all women over
looked. Then came Hoch, who con
fessed to having married many more,
but the rest trusted him with their
money before the ceremony was per
formed, so he did not stay for It.
Somo of tho wives were not easily de
serted, so he despatched them as he
would a tronblesome animal. Now
Madson has married so many women
that he cannot remember their names
and was sentenced for only seven
years.
These three cases are symptoms of
a national disease that must be
stamped out If tho integrity of the
nation is to bo preserved. The germs
of this disease are penetrating and
coloring the minds and morals of so
ciety to an alarming extent, and
In consequence we have an ever in
creasing army of irresponsible bigam
ists and deserters.
The wives of these deserters strug
gle heroically against fearful odds to
keep their families together, but when
the mother must go to work to sup
port tho children there is no home
life, and the street, reformatories and
Jails overflow with them.
Urging women to marry while mar
riage and maternity receive no more
protection thnn our present laws af
ford is futile, for now women can sup
port themselves and need not marry
for a home.
Mothers should have a voice In law
making or they and their children
should be protected In their right to
survive honorably. Respectfully,
SARAH M. SIBWERS, M. D.,
President Susan B. Anthony Club.

HE W(NISJODIE POOR
Dr. Pearson Has Donated $4,000,000 to
Smaller Colleges and Universi
ties During Last 26 Years.
Chicago. Daniel K. Pearsons ("Die-
Poor Pearsons"), millionaire philan
thropist, who has given away over $4,
000,000 to 43 small colleges located
principally In tho west and south, in
the course of an interview doclared
that his reason for so doing was his
desire to act as his own executor. Mr.
Pearsons intends to give away what
remains of his fortune before his
ninetieth birthday, he says:
"I have been administrator of a
number of estates," said he, "and I
have never felt that such a trust can
be satisfactorily executed. I have al
ways Intended to die a poor man at
least, that has been my purpose for
a quarter of a century. I have quite
definite views of how my money
Grapevine Bears Apples.
South Bend, Ind. It will be of In
terest to Wizard Burbank to know
that apples grow on vines at Lapaz,
this county. J. M. Sherwood of River
Park, a suburb of South Bend, shows
apples growing on a grapevine. The
apple-bearing grapevine Is on the
farm of Mrs. Clara Cross, where the
vino has boon growing in an old apple-tree
for some years. The apples
are about tho size of a crab apple.
The seeds are said to be a cross be
tween the grape seed and tho apple
seed.

should bo Invested for tho public
benefit. Why then, should I myself
not assume tho responsibility of mak
ing the investment?
"You want to know what Impelled
me to set about giving away my for
tune? Well, I've been a hunter after
poverty all my life and It isn't hard
to And It even In America. I have
wanted to give young men the advan
tages of education because they need
it, and the country needs educated
young men.
"I have selected what you might
call tho wilderness for my gifts just
because in the wilderness education
is more needed and there It yields tho
richest returns ou a small invests
ment."
Mr. Pearsons himself does not know
how much money ho has given to edu
cational institutions. His latest gift
was one of $23,000 for the establish
ment of a woman's department in tho
Chicago Theological seminary. At
different times he has advanced sums
aggregating $150,000 to needy stu
dents.
Dr. Pearsons made his money in
real estate in the early days of Chi
cago. Ho not only dealt In city real
estate, but made a specialty of farm
lands. He represented the Illinois
Central railwuy In disposing of mil
lions of ilne farms in its land grant,
given by the 'stato when the road was
constructed. For almost GO years Dr.
Pearsons has been active in real es
tate. Investments that he made In
Chicago in the early years Increased
a thousandfold and have now been
sold.
Mr. Pearsons gives tho credit for
his philanthropic Interests largely to
his wife, who died threo years ago.
HAWK ATTACKS AN INFANT.

Chickens Into a House.
Po Ell, Wash. Tho year-old baby
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred. Shepherd, who
live on n farm about two miles from
Pe Ell, was attacked by a hawk a few
days ago.
There were two pet chickens on the
place, which at this time were on the
doorstep. Tho hawk was evidently
after tho chickens and swooped to
ward thorn. Tho chickens ran Into
the house and under the lounge. The
hawk followed and, not noticing tho
chickens but noticing the child, which
was playing on the floor, attacked It
and Bank Its talons into the child's
face, lacerating it.
Tho mother heard tho child scream
and ran to its assistance. She scream
ed and scared the hawk off the child
and it flow Into the kitchen. William
Shophord heard tho noise and came
Into tho houso and despatched tho
hawk with a club. It was a largo
bird, measuring 3 feet 4 Inches from
tip to tip.
BODY BECOMES PETRIFIED.
Sixth Case of the Kind In Cemetery
at Portland, Ore.
Portland, Ore. When, at tho
Mount Calvary Cemetery, the body of
Paul Limerick, who died ten years
ago, was disinterred preparatory to
removal and reburlal, It was found
tho remains had become petrified.

brown color.

BY KIEFF MASSACRE
Details Slowly Trickling in About
the Slaughter of Jews
in Russia
TRYING TO SUPPRESS THE NEWS
Special Advices to Papers of Berlin,
Vienna, and London Say that Many
Were Killed and Injured In the
Riots Fugitives Crossing Frontier.
Berlin, Sept. 30. Not since tho
Kishenev massacre of 1903 has tho
German press been so aroused over
an anti-Jewish outrage as to-day over
the reports of tho attack on the Jew
ish quarters of Kleff and its suburb of
Solomka, and the attempt of tho Rus
sian authorities to suppress all news
of the outrage.
The official news agency of Russia
and tho Russian newspapers, under
orders from the government, are deny
ing the story as sent yesterday to
Berlin. That the story was reliable is
Bhown by to-day's accounts from spe
cial correspondents, which bear out
the account, even to the details. In
quiries made of Russian sources have
met with denials, and it has remained
for the true story to filter out through
the special correspondents. Every
paper in Berlin prints long stories of
tho three days' rioting in Kleff, which
began with the Jewish Now Year.
The Morgen Post says that "tho
corpses of many of the murdered
Russians were convoyed to the mor
tuaries and many of tho woundod
wero removed to tho hospitals."
The Tageblatt has a message from
Kleff, via the frontier, to the effect
that between twenty and thirty per
sons wero killed and hundreds wounded.
The Lokal Anzelger has a long story
from Podwoloczyska, tho first Aus
trian town this side of tho frontier.
In part it says:
"Great anti-Jewish riots have taken
place In Kloff, and In tho suburb of
Solomka, where tho Jows live in
large numbers. Armed bands of reac
tionaries marched to tho ghetto,
shouting mockingly: 'Hurrah for tho
equality of the Jews!'
"Tho mobs demolished tho homes
and shops of tho Jewish residents
and plundered everything that thoy
could lay their hands on. In terror
tho Jews fled to tho collars and at
tics of their homes, but in neither
place wero they safe from the savage
attacks. In defending thomselves,
many Jews wero nhot and others were
brutally beaten and fatally wounded.
Tho rioters spared neither women nor
children.
"Tho police watched the rioting
with no thought of Interfering, and
there is no telling to what length it
might have gone had not a deputation
of leading Jows waited on Governor
Gen. Ivanoff, and demanded protec
tion. Troops were then sent to Kleff,
and they dispersed tho mob In short
order and occupied tho approaches to
the ghetto to prevent further outrages.
None of tho rioters have as yet been
arrested, the authorities evidently
condoning the outrage.
"Tho severest censorship is being
exercised to prevent the news of the
affair from reaching foreign countries.
Many Jewish families fled from the
city, and are now living abroad."
Tho Hartunglsche Zeltung of Koe
nigsbnrg, on the Russian frontier, says
that the "streets were littered with
tho prostrate victims, some -dead, oth
ers writhing in agony."
Fugitives from Kieff have crossed
the frontier, and are telegraphing In
dividual accounts of the massacre to
their friends and benevolent associa
tions here and in other cities, appeal
ing for financial aid.
