Are Likely to Sleet Defeat at .
. ' Hands of Voters Next Fall.
NEW YORK. April 14. (Special.) The
decision of the Court of Appeals that the
reapportionment act, under which the
present Legislature holds office, Is un
constitutional, has stirred up the finest
political mix-up from Lake Erie to Mon
tauk Point The court has ruled that
unless a new and equitable apportion
ment bill Is passed, legislators must be
elected this Fall .In the old districts, as
laid out in 1895. The Judges failed to say
. In so many words that the present Sena-
, tors cannot hold longer than the present
, year, but 'awyers are agreed on the
proposition that at the next general elec-
. tion both Senators and Assemblymen
must be chosen, whether there is a new
apportionment or not, and under these
, circumstances, it would surprise nobody if
the Democrats controlled both houses of
tho Legislature next year. They certainly
will unless the Senators who have been
defying Governor Hughes get into line
and pass the reform bills which he has
, been urging. The Court of Appeals' deci
sion, however, has been the one thing
' necessary to brace up the Governor's
forces. He now has the whlphand on
legislators, and they thoroughly realize it.
Lining Up for Reform Measures..
State Senators seldom pay any atten-
' tion to public opinion except in the last
year of their term. They have been
Independent this Winter because they
thought there would be plenty of time to
repent next year. Now that they see
election only a few months away, the
' conditions are different, and many of the
rebels are willing to admit that perhaps
there is something good in what the Gov
ernor wants, after all. Therefore reform
measures have a better chance of passing
the upper house. 1
Every Senator also has ideas as to how
his district should be laid out. It is, a
certainty that the new reapportionment
bill, if one is passed this year, will be
by a party vote. Thirty-one of the El
members of the upper house are Repub
licans, a clear majority. But to pass a
bill ovor the Governor's veto requires a
two-thirds vote, which in this case would
be 34. Consequently it is necessary for
the legislative leaders to prepare a bill
that not only meets their own views but
is acceptable to the Governor as well.
' "Which further explains why the Insurgent
Republicans are doing a lot of thinking
these days ,and are seriously contem
plating the advisability of being good.
Complications iu New York.
In New York City the upsetting of the
reapportionment bill lias created condi
tions that make the politicians dizzy.
Vnder the law the Legislature maps out
the Senatorial districts and the Boards
of Supervisors in the different counties
designate the boundaries of Assembly
districts, three being inside each Sena
torial district.
In New York the Board of Aldermen
performs the duty of Supervisors. In
that body eight Municipal Ownership men
held the balance of power, and last year,
when the boundaries were fixed, they
acted with the Republicans. Since then
the M. O. men have acted with Tammany
to elect a Democrat Recorder and have
been Indignantly repudiated by Hearst
and thrown bodily out of the Independ
ence League. Now, from being political
outcasts, they are being eagerly courted
by politicians of both the great parties,
for it is In their power to map out the
Assembly districts so that either the
Democrats or the Republicans will gain
advautage thereby.
Murphy and McCIellan Struggling.
This explains why the Municipal Own
ership Aldermen are bracing up and be
ginning to believe that they really have
a mission in life. The redisricting will
also have an effect upon the factional
fight Inside of Tammany Hall, now being
waged fiercely by Mayor McCIellan and
Charles F. Murphy.
On the basis of the present representa
tion Murphy controls a majority of the
committee, and McCIellan hopes that new
boundary lines may be to his advantage.
In the meantime, of course, politicians
do not know where they are at, for old
boundaries are swept away and no leader
can tell who his constituents are or who
they are going to be. They will have to
wait for an answer until the Legislature
acta or adjourns without action.
The Judges of the Appellate Court in
their decision declaring the reapportion
ment unconstitutional cited only two
Senatorial districts the Second, illegally
made up of Queens and Richmond Coun
ties, and the Thirteenth, in the lower part
of Manhattan Borough. This encourages
certain up-state politicians to hope that
It will not be necessary to change the
boundaries of their respective bailiwicks.
They fail, however, to take Into con
sideration the fact that the old apportion
ment was made by the "old gang," and
that certain Senators, notably Brackett
and Stevens, were deliberately legislated
out of political existence. Both of these
men are friends of Governor Hughes
and are almost certain to insist that the
Injustice done them last year be remedied
at the present time. Furthermore they
have sufficient Influence with the Gover
nor to make them factors In the case. -
"The Court of Appeals," said one prom-
lnent State Senator who trains with
I Hmhos "baa, saved, the-Governor from
being humiliated, and I believe will keep
New York State in the Republican ranks
next year. The majority in the Senate,
led by John Raines, the President pro
tem, was thoroughly determined that no
reform legislation should pass this year.
"Arguments and entreaties had no effect
upon the-n. They thought themselves
securely in power for at least another
year, and did not care what might happen
this Fall, because their own seats were
not In danger. Now that they realize
that they must shortly go before the peo
ple, their viewpoint has changed. They
know that the Governor has the con
fidence of the people, and they will not
dare make an issue of it this November.
Consequently It is the one safe bet that
the Senate will eat out of the Governor's
hand. In seemingly as cheerful a mood as
the Assembly has been doing for several
months.
Public Will Reap Benefit.
"Superintendent of Insurance Otto
Kelsey, who seemed certain to be retained
in office, will undoubtedly be ousted
within a few days, and a good strong,
reliable man, in whom the public has
confidence, substituted In his place. It
also means that the public utilities bill,
which the Governor has been urging with
all the vigor' at his command, will be
on the statute books before many weeks
have gone by.
"The decision of the court will compel
the Senators to pass laws that the people
demand, and this enforced action on
their part will undoubtedly have a bene
ficial effect upon the Republican vote at
the elections this Fall."
LOXE MONTANA STAGE ROBBER
SECURES $28,000.
Posse In Pursuit With Slim Chance
of Overtaking Bandit In Wild
Mountainous Region.
BUTTE, Mont., April 14. A Miner dis
patch from Great Falls says that the
stage running between Malta and Zort
man was held up last night by a lone
bandit, according to a telephone message
received late tonight, and a sum estimated
at about $28,000 is said to have been
secured.
The message gave no details of the
daring robbery other than that it oc
curred just north of Zortman as the
stage wag entering the Little Rockies
with a consignment of money to pay the
wages of the miners at the Zortman
mines.
The robber apparently had five or Bix
hours' start of a posse mounted upon the
fastest horses to be had, which left
Malta Immediately upon receipt of word
of the holdup.
The location is In a particularly wild
spot in the mountains, affording every op
portunity for the shelter and escape of
the bandit. . One man commanding a trail
there could almost hold a half dozen
men at bay for hours. ,.
Some member of Kid Curry's gang of
train robbers and horse thieves is sus
pected of the holdup. Six years ago the
Curry gang held up a Great Northern
train in the vicinity of Malta, securing
about $43,000. Many of the pals of Kid
Curry etill live In Northern Montana.

Met by Governor Winthrop and
Driven to Palace Where He
Reviews the Troops.
SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, April 14 Sec
retary of War Taft and his party arrived
at noon today on the Government yacht
Mayflower. Governor Winthrop and Sec
retary of Porto Rico Regis Post went
aboard to greet the Secretary. The yacht
was taken to the naval station landing,
where it was met by the naval officers
here.
Secretary Taft was escorted by a bat
talion of marines to the city entrance,
where Lieutenant-Colonel Bailey, of the
Porto RIcan regiment, and staff awaited
him. Under escort of the regiment the
Secretary, who was in a carriage with
Governor Winthrop, was driven to the
palace, where from the balcony he re
viewed the troops. After the review an
Informal reception was held and promi
nent citizens called on the Secretary.
Mr. Taft is the sixth Cabinet officer
to visit the island since it was occupied
by the Americans, Messrs. Alger, Payne,
Moody, Root and Metcalf preceding him.
The announcement that the Mayflower
had been sighted was the signal for the
gathering of thousands, and soon the
streets surrounding the naval station were
filled with eager spectators. Secretary
Taft's reception by the Porto Rlcans was
cordial.
FRUIT DAMAGE IS HEAVY

High as Million Dollars.
KANSAS CITY, April 14. There
were killing frosts again last night in
the fruit district of Kansas and West
ern Missouri, adding to the damage
already done. All reports agree that
heavy loss has been caused millions
of dollars, according to Secretary La
Goodman, of the Missouri 7alley Horti
cultural Association. Several days may
elapse before the full extent of the
injury can be estimated accurately.

Will Not Talk Disarmament.
ROME, April 14. From the exchange
of official comirmnications between
them, it is apparent that Germany,
Austria and Russia are unanimous con
cerning - the question of limitations of
armaments at The Hague conference,
and that they will permit of a discus
sion of the question, but will not par
ticipate in it, not considering the prop
osition a practical one.

HAS NOW 800,000 MEMBERS
Results Fonnd in Civic Improve
ments, Juvenile Courts, Solution

Manifold Public Interests.
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.
WASHINGTON,- April 9. (Special Cor
respondence.) A few years ago a friend
ly discussion arose among the women's
clubs of the United. States as to which
was the oldest. This honor was claimed
by both the Sorosis, of New York, and
the Woman's Club, of Boston, each of
these haying been founded in 1868. But
it developed that the club movement, like
young Lochlnvar, came out of the West
The Ladles' Library Society, pf Kalama
zoo, Mich., was founded in 1862, and the
Minerva Club, of New Harmony, Ind., in
1859. Close on the heels of these four
pioneers came other clubs, though the
Ladles' -Physiological Institute of Bos
ton has the distinction of being Ithe first
and only woman's club that had a man
for a president,' Professor C. P. Bronson
serving in this capacity and being re
membered In due season by his grateful
followers in the present of a new suit
of clothes.
The nrst clubs were generally given to
tho study of literature, but as the world
progressed and the great changes of the
age came on, the women were swept irre
sistibly into the vortex of definite en
deav6r. Like birds of a feather, they
began flocking together. They wanted
to discuss and understand things. They
became interested in everything under the
sun from symphonies and suffrage to
whole wheat bread and theosophy. Clubs
grew from these meetings, the member
ship Increased rapidly, and then the affili
ation movement began. With this union
came streng-th.
First Federation Movement.
Sorosis was probably the leader in the
federation movement, having called a
meeting of clubs in- 18S9 for the purpose
of mutual improvement. The following
year there were several state federations
formed, and at the first biennial meeting
of the body known as the General Fede
ration of Women's Clubs, in Philadel
phia in 1894, there were five state federa
tions represented Maine, Utah, Massa
chusetts, New York and Kansas the las
ter then Including Missouri clubs, which
represents 46 state federations, with an
aggregate membership of 800,000 women.
The work of the clubs included In this
general federation Is as widely varied as
the- many sections they represent. Every
possible movement that militates for the
good of the people finds an echo in some
one, or perhaps all of those clubs.
Emperor William has declared that wo
man should be interested only in her
three K's her Kinder, .her Kueche, and
her Kirche. American women also be
lieve this, but they go about proving that
it is a broader thing than even his
majesty knows, for they are using every
effort to make not only their own, but
all other children a happy, useful ele
ment of society by throwing around them
better laws, better educational possl
billtes, and healthier environment; they
mean to have not only their own, but all
their neighbors' kitchens well-kept, under
competent hands and stocked with pure
foods, for they knew the health of the
Nation depends upon this; and they mean
to make their own and every other church
stronger, broader and more powerful by
having it go hand in hand with prac
tical charity when perplexing social prob
lems must be solved.
Learning Lessons in Charity.
There have been a good many hitches
in club work, and no small amount of
adjustment has been necessary. An early
Idea that more charity was needed away
from home than at home had to be lived
down. This sometimes brought ludicrous
complications. For example, a good Bos
ton woman went down to a Southern
State to offer several hundred books to
start a library for a club, only to discover
that the organization had already placed
three or four libraries in the field. At
the same time a letter reached that sec
tion from the naval prison in Boston,
asking that the charity of the South be
directed that way, for the prisoners were
in sore need of books and something to
amuse them.
The same error recently arose in rela
tion to the child labor question, many
well-meaning clubs of the North and East
laboring to eliminate child labor In South
ern factories, while . Southern women
were equally zealous in the effort to help
the Consumers' League stamp out the
sweat-shop evil in New York and Eastern
cities. The General Federation of Clubs
has brought these earnest workers all to
gether; through its committees it has in
vestigated the needs of all sections, and
it is now prepared to offer unprejudiced
help in a systematic fashion.
"It has been the women's part since the
beginning to put Into the world beauty,
regeneration, and uplifting," said the
president of the General Federation of
W omen's Clubs not long ago. "While the
men have been -quarrelling over the
money question and the tariff, the women
have- been safeguarding humanity," said
a New 'England man. This is true of the
General Federation. It has come through
a process of evolution,- but . the work it
does is good and far-reaching and lasting.
The force of its membership of 800,000
souls is felt through 12 competent stand
ing committees, each composed of women
who know what they are about, and who
are capable of achieving the things they
attempt.
What Clubs Have Really Done.
The committee on art, for exaple, has
established traveling picture libraries, has
planned loan exhibits, has encouraged the
decoration and beautifying . of school
rooms, and has waged successful war
against the poster and advertisement evil.
On club inthe West has spent JIO.OOO on
the decoration of school rooms alone.
The committee on civics has practical
results to show in the shape of the res
cued Palisades on the Hudson, the pro
tection of the famous Cliff Dwellings in
the Mesa Verde National Park, and in
creating a greater interest in hygiene
throughout the, country.
The committee on Civil Service Reform
has been instrumental in having laws
enacted that provide for a better care of
the dependent, the delinquent and the de
fective wards of the various common
wealths. It has also undertaken a two
years campaign to secure State laws that
shall place all officials an? employes of
the charitable 'and reform institutions of
the United States under the merit system

of appointment. The educational commit
tee is having women placed ' on school
boards and is bringing the mother and
teacher in closer relation through the
education of the child.
The commitee on household economics
is home-making in its highest and best
sense. The pure food commitee. proved
Its potency in the passing of the recent
pure food law. The commitee on forestry
has a correspondent in each state and
will use every effort to enlist the Interest
of the people in the preservation of the
forests throughout the country. The
committee on industry and child labor is
investigating the industrial status of
women and children in the country and
devising means of improving it. Twenty
five states are fighting for Juvenile court
laws, and the commitee on legislation
is still working for statutes that will
protect women and children. Through
the library extension committee 300,000
good books have been sent out to the
poorly educated of the country. Carnegie
libraries have grown from several smaU
beginnings in this way.
Influence In the Homes.
The Influence on home life that has
been felt through the state federations
and the general federation Is notable.
Believing in the good old household arts
first of all, they have established kinder
gartens. Industrial and manual training
schools, also truant schools for the un
ruly, and vacation schools and night
schools for workers. Instances of specific
work of local, state or general federa
tions may be recounted in volumes. In
California the women have preserved
historic Telegraph Hill; have secured
1,000,000 names to a petition for the preser
vation of the Calaveras big tree grove;
have secured (3000 to park and plant trees
around old Dolores Mission; have con
tributed to the fund for housing students
at the University of California; have
planned a road to connect the old mis
sions of Father Junipero, and at Vallejo
the women of a club owned the only fire
engine until the town got ashamed and
established a fire department.
Illinois clubs had the first Juvenile
court laws enacted in that state; had
women probation officers installed, and
are attempting a solution of the child
labor question by giving scholarships to
children whose mothers are widows and
dependent upon their earnings. In Chi
cago the vacation schools established
through, the efforts of the women repre
sent in their attendance 28 nationalities
and turn away each season 15,000 whom
they cannot accommodate. The School
of Domestic Arts and Science in Chicago,
established and managed by club women,
had last year 1100 pupils. The Kilo Club
there serves meals to 1000 working women
at cost.
A New Orleans club helped greatly in
the fight against yellow fever by having
lecturers sent among the schools of the
poor, explaining the necessary precau
tions against the disease. In Massa
chusetts the club women are trying to
overcome the National spendthrift habit
by opening savings banks for school chil
dren and the little people of the state
have' saved not less than $10,000 a year
In this way. Pennsylvania clubs have

Plays Sharp Politics in Recall

FEELING HIGH IN BRUSSELS
By Royal Decree, Government Mea
sure Concerning Hours of Labor
In Mines Is Withdrawn.
May Dissolve Parliament.
BRUSSELS, April 14. King Leopold's
unprecedented action in withdrawing by
royal decree the government bill concern
ing the hours of labor in the mines has
aroused the greatest indignation in all
parties. The situation is aggravated by
the fact that the decree was countersigned
by Ministers who had officially resigned
and therefore possessed no authority be
fore Parliament.
The government, under the law, is en
titled to withdraw a bill pending in both
houses until the Senate adopts tt, but in
not announcing the decree until after Its
resignation and when it had been demon
strated it had only 32 supporters the gov
ernment hi considered as being guilty of
political sharp practice. .
The situation is grave and dissolution of
Parliament is inevitable.
