MEN OF NOBILITY SCORED Fewer Class Barriers Declared to Esist in Scotland Than In South, Enabling Scions of Peasantry to Attain High Places. LOXDON, March 10 Lyold-George, Chancellor of the Exchequer and re former, has delivered his long-awaited speech on his land proposals to a mass meeting- of Liberals in Glasgow. His chief points were: "The Government intends to erive ef feet in legislation to the principle of rating rate values. "J regard the proposal to transfer all rates from the structure to the site as impracticable and the objection to any part of the rates being- put on the site as pusillanimous. 'There are several alternative methods within these two limits which we could apply. "Dukes are always in the habit of asking more for their land than it is really worth. Duke's Price la Cat. "The Duke of Montrose asked 1130.- 000 for land wanted for public purposes in Glasgow. He got 195.000. "He was rated on that land at about 12 cents an acre, and the people of Ulasgow had to pay him 2000 years' purcnase. We shall see in future that the Duke contributes towards the rates on the basis of the value he assigns. "The Duke of Sutherland asked $2, 395.000 for the lean, scraggy part of his estate. He overlooked the fact that ins trustees had sworn that the whole of the million acres for death duty purposes were worth $2,000,000. "Does he suggest that his trustees committed perjury by swearing that the land was only worth one-third of its real value? There never has been such a case since the days of Ananias ana faapphlra. " Resurrection Is Forecast. In his peroration he declared that "the chariot of retribution is drawing -'-!" uuu inai. lie LI1C U&WR of the resurrection of the oppressed Eiiaing ine horizon." "There are substantial differences in some respects between the agrarian conditions of Scotland and those of xne Jaouth," said Lloyd-George. "But still there is one great, deep, underly ing principle of all sound, just, and beneficient land laws in every land. That the land in all countries was created by Providence for the benefit of all those who dwell therein, and that any privileges, rights, or Interests attaching for the time being, whatever their origin may be, to the ownership of land that are inconsistent with this erreat purpose ought in the interests of the community to be ruthlessly over ridden. "There is no more serious evil that can affect any country than that its peasantry should be quitting it. Peas antry in a country is like & gold re serve, and the moment there is a run on the bank you begin to realize the true value of that resource. Scot Class Barriers Fh. "This resource Is drawn upon largely by every branch of the national life. There is no part of the Empire, there is no country in Europe, which draws as largely upon these resources as Scotland does. The reason is that you have fewer class barriers than we have in the South. Your education is more democratic so the children of the peas ant and the laborer find their way to the foremost positions In your life. It is more difficult in the South for the peasant to break away from the lot into which he was born. In the South you have got snobbishness in many parts like a steaming haze, op pressing ana piague-paralyzing activ ity, progress and energy. . "In many of our schools it is taught as part of our education. I was taught that my business was to be humble, to lower my head humbly to all my bet ters, and it was explained carefully to me that my betters were the parish equlre and the parson. I have obeyed the instructions from my youth very faithfully." Proud" he added, "of having had the honor of inscribing the first lady elect or on the lists." In the Seventeenth Arrondlssement the lady president of the league, Mile. Eonneville, was received with equal politeness and Madame Grunberg, Madame Launay and half a dozen "midinettes" were inscribed on the list of the Nineteenth Arrondlssement. In some of the other Mairies the em ployes were not so pleasant. "Are you a Frenchman?" asked one employe harshly. "No, I am a French woman." replied the applicant. "Only French men can oe inscribed, retorted the se vere clerk. "That Is yourNway of in terpreting the law," insisted the lady. "i-scort this lady out," said the clerk to the gendarme, as his final reply, and two gendarmes took her by the arm and led her to the door. Somewhat similar scenes haDDened In the other Mairies, where the clerks had received no orders. But it is not yet sure tnat those who succeeded in get ting on the list will be allowed to vote. The lists will pass through a commit tee of revision, which is at liberty to siriice their names out BILL EDWARDS ACCUSED BALTIMORE MAX NAMES POLITI. CIAJf AS CO-RESPONDENT. Lawyer for Joseph R. Stonebreaker Says Full List of Others Would Read Like Page of "Who's Who." NEW YORK, March 2 "Big Bill" Edwards, bachelor, Princeton football star, and Commissioner of Street Clean ing in the McClellan and Gaynor admin istrations, was only one of the many notable men named a few days ago by Joseph R. Stonebreaker in a suit for divorce against his wife. Constance. In fact, Wayne M. Musgrave. Stonebreak er's lawyer, said: "The list of co-re spondents reads like a page from 'Who's Who.'." uivers otner men, including a Pittsburg steel magnate and B. Clif ford Kline, brother of ex-Mayor Kline. are on the list. Mwiras, wno was served with a subpena to appear for the trial March said: "I II be there. I'll be at the trial and give them any information I can. The truth is I know nothing about this divorce case. I think there must be some mistake about me beinir one of the co-respondents. The charge Is as ridiculous as it is untrue." btonebreaker. the plaintiff lives In Baltimore. He is a son of" the late Joseph R.

About six months ago I was sued for alienating the af- rectlons or Mr. Stonebreaker's wifa. put in an answer denying the cnarges, but tne case has never been put on the calendar." Lawyers for Mrs. Stonebreaker have demanded a bill of particulars from her husband's attorney.

WOMEN GET ON POLL LIST Many Permitted to Jlegister in Paris by Clerks Who Arc Polite. PARIS, March 10. When the time limit for inscriptions on the elec toral lists for the coming elections for Parliament expired, the employes at the 20 Mairies of Paris were not a little surprised to see a number of women who came to have their names registered on the books at the last minute. The League for Women's Rights had resolved to spring this surprise on the public authorities. Several of them however, took care to notify the Mayors of their arrondissements the evening before. They were, perhaps, the wisest, as the Mayors, being polite and defer ential to the fair sex by instinct and training, could not but make up their minds to give them satisfaction, and. consequently, the employes received orders to inscribe the feminine would be electors. Thus It happened that the ladies were well received at the Mairies of the First, Seventeenth and Nineteenth arrondissements. In the First Arrondlssement. the ladv doctor. Madame Edward Fillet, vu-.e-president of the league, was the first t be inscribed. The employe reeeivliij: her with the greatest courtesy, thankee, her for having been so kind as to comi and be the first on the list and hopei that she would come again. "I ami BOY GANGS ARE NATURAL Necessity, When Properly Directed, Benefit, Says Sociologist. KAXSAS CITT, Mo., March 3. Boy gangs are not a menace in the belief of Professor .ulackmar, head of the de partment of sociology and economics in the University of Kansas, who ad dressed the Mercantile Club in this city. "The gang is a necessity in the life of a boy," Professor Blackmar said. "We all have our gangs. This club is a gang for promoting good things for tne city. Just so, the thing to do is to turn the boy gang to good account and encourage the boys to something oi Denent. .Discourage playing in the alley by encouraging games and con tests." Play is a necessary part of the life of a child, he argued, and it is the duty of grownups" to aid the children and see that they have proper surroundings for their play. "No man should ever get too old to get down on all fours and ride the baby on his back," he said.

If Her Play Is Produced By Comedle Franeaise It Will Be First. Woman's Since George Sand's Day. PARIS, March 10. (Special.) Mile. Marie Leneru has written a play, "La Triomphatrice," which will be read to the Committee of the Comedie Fran eaise shortly by the new administrator, M. Albert Carre. If, as seems proba ble, the play is, accepted, it will be the first work by a woman performed by the Comedie Franeaise since the days of George Sand and Madame de Girardin. Mile. Leneru has had a re markable history. She was "discov ered" by M. Antoine at about the same time that M. Octave Mirbeau "discov ered" Marguerite Audoux, the author ess of "Marie Claire." There is nothing in common between the two writers except the fact that the circumstances of both lives seem scarcely such as would make literary artists of them. Madame 'Audoux was very humble workwoman when she wrote her first book. Mile. Leneru lives in different surroundings, but she is hampered by ' physical infirmities which almost cut her off from human intercourse. Yet "Les Affranchis," written by Mile. Leneru, and produced by M. Antoine at the Odeon one Sat urday afternoon a few years ago. showed extraordinary insight into human nature and a wonderful grasp of dramatic art. The audience was astounded, after the first few scenes. to find that the new dramatist this time had written a play which, for inten sity of feeling and for a certain sense of mystery, might be compared with Ibsen's modern works. Nothing is naturally yet known of La Triomphatrice," except that it has aroused the enthusiasm of Madame Bartet. who will play the principal part, and M. Carre, who will read the play to the committee himself, as the authoress is unable to do so. "Les Af franchis" was a very powerful study of intellectual friendship, growing in to passion, between a philosopher who has "freed" his mind from ordinary dogmas, and bis devoted disciple of 18. who thinks that she has freed her self. But, . although he dares, she at the last moment dare not. The mother superior of the convent in which she was brought up wins her back to re nunciation, and the philosopher won ders at the end whether their self- sacrifice may not be the worst selfishness. TUCSON, Ariz., March 6. (Special.) Who has not heard of Geronimo. the Apache, and of Cochise, that other Apache warrior, renowned for qualities very much like statesmanship, as well as for his cunning and fighting prow ess? A scout of the Geronimo days, a blood brother" of old Cochise, Is dead. He was Captain Thomas Jefferson Jeffords and his tall, spare frame, stal wart for so many years, fell at the age of 83. Captain Jeffords was a genuine In dian fighter. He was the first scout to get through the Apache country of Arizona to Tucson in 1860 with mes sages from the California division of the Army. Scouts before him Aad tried and failed. It was afterwards that Captain Jef fords and Cochise, whose stronghold was in a rugged canyon in the Dragoon Mountains, southwest of Tucson, went through the ceremony of transfusing blood into each other's veins. Cochise presented the Captain-with a double barreled shotgun. He still had it when he died. It was said by some that only Jef fords knew the location of Cochise's grave somewhere in those same Dragoon Mountains. Either he kept tnat secret through sentimental lovaltv to the old chief, or because he feared what the Indians would do should he reveal it. After his death Madame Alice Morajeska, an author and ex newspaper woman, whom Jeffords once took into the Cochise stronghold, said that he had shown her the loca tion of the grave. He showed her also that underground passage, miles in length, by which Cochise used to give tne united btates troopers the slip. Jeffords died at the Owl's Head mine, belonging to Madame Morajeska, about .sa mnes west or this city. In 1871, when General Howard came to Arizona to make a treaty with Cochise, In 1876, he served with Gen eral Nelson A. Miles in the campaign against Geronimo that resulted in his capture. His title of Captain was acquired on a steamer plying between the UDDer Mississippi and Missouri rivers to New Orleans. SAFECRACKER USES JAIL New York Prisoner Works 1 0 Years From Cell. MIXEOLA, N.

The grand jury investigated the alleged confes sion of a prisoner who said that for 10 years he has been using the Nassau County jail as the base of safe-cracking tng expeditions into the neighboring country. On one occasion he used the jail as a temporary storehouse for loot taken from a store in Port Washington. The scandal involves several women prisoners who allege that they were abused by the keepers and by some of The Price 3f, baSSS a Few Weeks Hence $29 to $50 more than at present will not be an extravagant price for the book; but it would be an extravagance for you to -pay it needlessly, by neglecting this opportunity to pay less.
