NOVAK NOT MURDERER
MYSTEllY IX BAY CITY CKIMK
GROWING DEEPER.
Witness Who Saw Man Run From
Ofrice Declares prisoner Is
Xot Person With Revolver.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 1. The posi
tive declaration of J. F. Hlgglns, the only
man, claiming apparently, who saw the
slayer of Miss Caroline Brasch. the girl
cashier who -was mysteriously murdered
in her office yesterday, that J. Novak,
the Roumanian arrested today as a sus
pect In no way resembled the man he
saw, has deepened the mystery surround
ing the murder. Novak maintains that
he is Innocent, and his demeanor Is calm,
though a little bewildered.
The police today recovered from a
pawnshlp the clothes he wore yesterday
and dressed him in them. Hlgglns was
then brought Into the presence of the
prisoner for the second time. He said
that Novak did not resemble the man he
saw with a pistol In the corridor of the
office building in any particular 'of dress,
appearance or bearing. The police de
clare that they still believe Novak to be
the man, despite Higgins' failure to
identify.
Novak was captured today when he ap
plied to an employment agency for a Job
at Reno. He was immediately taken to
the city prison. No trace of Novak was
obtained until there was a hurried
summons this morning from John
Dressier, assistant manager of the
G. W. Ewer Employment Agency,
at 612 Clay street. Dressier said
he had received an application for em
ployment from a man who gave the name
of J. Novak, and who wanted to be sent
out of the city to some remote construc
tion camp. Detectives hurried from head
quarters, and when an Austrian laborer
returned to the office, in readiness to
start for the scene of his labors, he was
placed under arrest.
In the office of the Captain of Detec
tives, Novak, who declared himself ' a
Bohemian, persisted In his denials that
he was responsible for the death of Miss
Brash. He was forced to account for
every movement he made yesterday and,
somewhat to the surprise of the officers,
declared he had not been In the Wells
Fargo building after the hour of noon,
about two hours before the shooting.
Novak's statement that he did not visit
Gray Bros.' offices a second time has
not yet been refuted by the tangible
evidence, and the police are working on
the theory that the person who disputed
the correctness of the time .check with
Miss Brash Just before the shot was
fired might not have been Novak.

papers, as well as the commercial shops

400 etchers and photo-engravers are Idle

The author of the above expression was
the Hon. Georg-e Washington Plunkltt,

activities of the "votes for women" ad

horror, but he frankly admits that be
cause of their bizarre campaign they
are making headway every day.
"Over In England." Mr. Plunkltt con
tinued, "the women simply make blith

are bright and up-to-date and not mussy.
Today I hear people talking about votes

each member is required to sign the fol
lowing pledge:
"We. the undersigned women, hereby
declare that we will not marry any man

who insist on the literal carrying out

of the suffragettes, said today:
"Within six months I expect that we
will have the pledges of over 100.000 hand
some and Intelligent young women. Our
new battlecry is going to be "Votes or
no wives." If all single young women
will Join us it will only be a short
time before man has capitulated and
woman comes Into her own.
"To Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont belongs
the credit of the Idea. When she first
suggested If I did not think It feasible.
Then I talked It over with our members,
and we decided to make a genuine test
of the proposition. I hope that the un
married women of New York and the
entire country as well will see this,
their great opportunity, and adopt our
method or a similar one of advancing the
great cause.
"A man who will not promise to work
for suffrage does not deserve a good
wife. He would probably beat - her If
she married him and ever crossed his
wishes."
Great Parade and Campaign.
The suffragettes are also planning to
mark next December by a day of pa

which their petition is to be presented

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, who Is re
garded as one of the leaders of the
suffragettes, has recently returned from
a trip to Europe. She announces that
her New York sisters have no intention
of adopting the "militant" efforts of the
English workers, and explains that the
Intention here Is to confine work to "per
suasive methods." And she adds:
"I do not want the word militant' to
be applied to anything that I may do or
to anything that may be done by an
organisation with which I may be con
nected as a member."
Mrs. Catt made this statement at a
meeting of the Interurban Woman's Suf
frage Council. She also outlined a plan,
which was adopted, designed to have an
effect upon "recalcitrant legislators."
"We will strike them in their tenderest
points, namely, their constituencies," she
explained. "Any man who has taken a
stand against woman suffrage will be
attacked, and those who have expressed
themselves In Its favor will be supported,
regardless of political affiliations. In
this way we will help our friends and
strike stunning blows at our enemies."
Before election time comes around, how
ever, Mrs. Catt will supervise a "cam
paign of persuasion" at Coney Island. A
petition headquarters will be established
there. In charge of Mrs. Prlscllla D.

Street Meetings Effective.
Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch is one of
the women workers who believe that the
cause of her sex Is making rapid strides
onward.
The suffragettes," she said, "have al
ready reached a great many persons by
means of their street meetings, who
would never have dreamed of going to
an indoor woman suffrage meeting. Mem
bers of the Equal Franchise League have
also taken part In street meetings with
excellent results. The Equality League
for Self-supporting Women has also found
the street meetings one of the best meth
ods of spreading the propaganda."
When Mrs. Clarence Mackay returns
to the United States this month the cause
of "Votes for Women" will take a boom.
For Mrs. Mackay Is energetic, enthusias
tic and has lots of money, a combination
that is bound to prove effective.
It will be Interesting to watch the de
velopments of the next few months. For
the women promise all kinds of surprises,
they may make good.
