BIRTH RATE FIGURES CITED l.icu tt-iiant -Governor Painter Tells Trades I u ion League President That Women Workers Are Firmly i n Bo n da ge . ST. L.UUIS, June 5. The hearing: con ducted by the Missouri Senate wage Investigation committee was enlivened tday by a spirited tilt between Lieutenant-Governor Painter and Mrs. Ray mond Kobbins, a Chicago settlement worker, ns to the place of women in the modern scheme of life. The Lieutenant-Governor declared that the at titude, of women in the Trades Union League, of which Mrs. Robbins is presi dent, in urging girls to concentrate in cities was destroying home ties and subjecting women to industrial slavery. Mrs. Robbins agreed that women were slaves, but that every woman was entitled to work. She declared her pur pose was to make women re bell lous, mo they would demand more pay and better working conditions. ParentM foreign Horn. "Will not the employment of women result In such a decrease In children that the country eventually will be come depopulated ?" asked the Lieutenant-Governor. "Oh, no," Mrs. Robbins replied. "There are 25,000 children in my ward in Chicago." "But are they not the children of foreign-born people, and do you not find in ;very city among the American born people that there are fewer chil dren from year to year?" "Yes," said Mrs. Robbins. Mrs. Robbins said she would be glad to see people go to the country to live, but Insisted that under existing con ditions there was work for women to do in the homes and it was better for them to be en gaged In gainful occupations and they thould be paid a proper min imum wage a week or more. Kn forced Slavery Admitted. "lias not women's employment in the industries enforced women's slavery in this country?" asked the Lieu tenant Governor. "Yes, said Mrs. Robbins. "And are not women workers more firmly in bondage than were the Afri can slaves who were valuable to their owners and properly cared for? "Do not employers now know that when they wear out one girl they can get another to take her place?" "Yes, that's true." said Mrs. Robbins. "If women were taken out of the in dustries and lived at home and took care of the families would they not be better off?" "Every woman Is entitled to work In this country," replied Mrs. Robbins. a colony of people coming from Iowa. He says the black soil of the Burns district appeals to the Iowa people. Railroad Talk Heard. "I am satisfied with Central Oregon." Mr. Hill told the people of Burns, They called attention to the fact that he has visited Burns now three times within three year, but that Burns still is without a Hill railroad. Mr. Hill laughed and told them that if Improve ments continue in future as they hav$ in the past business of the country will force them to build into Burns.

"DRY" COUNTY GOES "WET" Iinroln in Idalio Votes to Have I. squor by Only 28 Counts. BOISE. Idaho, June 5. (Special.) Complete returns from the , Lincoln County local option election today show that the county left the "dry" column and became "wet" by a majority of 28 votes. The "drys" carried a majority of the precincts, but the heavy major ity given In Shoshone precinct alone of ,127 sent the county Into the "wet" column. The tight waged, in Shoshone County during the last three weeks has been a bitter one. For four years the coun ty has been "dry" under the local op tion law. The recent division of the rounty by the Legislature, leaving old Lincoln County with several of the .heavy "wet" precincts, made it com paiatlvely easy for the saloons, to be voted in again. The "drys" carried North Shoshone precinct by one vote, Marley by six, Richfield by 21, Dietrich by 70. Grand View by 5. Oaken by 16. Falls City by 10, or a total of six precincts in which the total majority was 128. The "wets" carried Shoshone precinct by J2T. Haddock by six and Jerome by 23, making a total majority of 156. Ex tlov. rnor Frank-R. Gooding and Su perintendent W, J. Herwlg, of the Anti Saloon League, conducted the fight for tne "drya." iHy : Mrs. Rosa Waters. GOLDENDALE, Wa . June 5. (Special.)

He went as far as Caldwell but was forced to start fro there direct for the East. "The people of Southern Idaho are hungry for another railroad." said Fred Graham yesterday.

COLUMBUS. O.. June 3. Lee Cage, member of the Iron Moulders' Union of Wheeling. W. Va.. confessed in the united States District Court here today that he killed Detective John J. Rear don. of Pittsburg, at Steuben vllle, O., In 1910. The killing occurred during a period of labor trouble. Cage was tried at Steubenville more than a year ago on a charge of having muraered nearaon. and was acquitted refusing to take the witness stand. Be cause he has been In Jeopardy once. an. other trial on. the same charge Is barred under the constitution and laws of Ohio. Cage's confession resulted in speedy dismissal of proceedings which were pending before Judge Slater involving the disposition of sr.ooo reward money offered by the Commissioners of Jeffer son County and another suit by Rear don's administrator to collect JB000 damages from Jefferson County because of Reardon s death. Following Cage's admission that he fired the BUots which practically riddled the body of the Pittsburg detective, an agreed order was entered allowing the dead man s heirs SIdOO. Cage declared that he had come Into court voluntarily. "So you were not satisfied with hav ing killed Detective Reardon. but now come Into court and confess to that crime so that you may help to defraud the little daughter of your victim out of what rightfully belongs to her?" queried Attorney Lewis. "Oh. I don't know as I am," retorted Cage. Judge Sater, apparently stunned by Cagt s unexpected admission that he killed Reardon, said: "You really mean to tell this court that you assassinated that man" re ferring to Reardon. "They burled him. didn't they?" was Cage's answer. President Gets Oregon Petition. SALEM. Or.. June 6. (Special.) Superintendent of Public Instruction Alderman today received a letter from J. P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, acknowledging the receipt of petitions signed by 62.200 Oregon school children asking that the Battle ship Oregon lead the fleet through the Panama Canal at the opening exercises.

FAIR ACCUSER DUE SUNDAY Reduction of Bond Denied When Aid of Attorney Rejected Prisoner Bitterly Denounces Veiled Woman of Mystery. Gone was all the suave assurance and cheerful smile of Edmond C. Von Klein, anegea -marrying swindler." when Municipal .nidge Tazwell yesterday morning, resenting the prisoner's atti- j tude. revoked the special privileges which had been allowed him, and sum- manly ordered him to the box where the rest of the prisoners are kept dur ing court. The handsome young sus pect showed great loss of poise at this blow, coming atop of his alleged iden tification by a third accuser, the mys terious "womnn in the white veil." who says h ? robbed her daughter of Jewels valued ttt J1Z.U0O. The breach came when the Court summarily appointed Tlowden Stott, an attorney, lo act for Von Klein. Judge's Anger Aroused. 'Your honor. I don't want a lawyer: I want to handle this rase mvaelf." de murred the prisoner, who burst at once into a long plea to the court for a re duction of bail and for an immediate hearing. He cut across the Court's an swers until that functionary became angry and said: "You have been granted numerous courtesies, but you seem to fell to ap preciate them. If you Insist, as the law allows you, on having this case continued from day to day. pending the .riivai ot tne complaining witness, you will take your place in the box with the other prisoners." "Won't your honor reduce the bond?" pleaded Von Klein. "J am alone here, without friends, and T need them. I w-lll appear whenever T am wanted. Tn Chicago en utter stranger furnished a oona or i4,ooo. and all sorts of pres sure was brought upon me to Jump It; even the State's Attorney was willing mar i snouia. Dut i rerused, and I came all the way to Portland on my honor." I'Owrr Bond Denied. "The bond will stay as It is," said the Court, and Bailiff Johnson conducted the prisoner to , the box. to huddle among prisoners charged with drunk enness and vagrancy. Decisive proceedings are expected Monday, as Miss Xewcomb. the young woman who charges Von Klein with faking a marriage and then escaping with her diamonds, is due to arrive Sunday night, with other witnesses. In the meantime the prisoner is do ing what he can to prepare for han dling his own case, though the author ities believe he will produce able coun sel when the test comes. He was sup plied yesterday with a copy of the In formation against him. He observed quickly that It was signed by Max G. Cohen, acting Municipal Judge at the time, and convicted Tuesday in Federal Court of subornation of perjury. "I'll make a point of that fact," said Von Klein. Von Klein showed his first bitterness yesterday in discussing the new charge brought against him by the "veiled woman." giving the name Weber. "She is the same as Mrs. F. Howard, of Den ver," he said, "who Identified me In Chicago as the man who stole her dia monds not her daughters, as she now asserts. Tettk Are Exhibited. When she faced me at the Harrison street station she wanted to see my teeth, but I covered them until she had described the teeth of the man she was looking for. She then said he had bridge-work in front. You can see I have none," tapping the strong, white incisors. "She also has given several different places where she asserts the robberv occurred. When she went to the County .Tall Wednesday, I called her a lot of names, and she Just laughed. That's the sort of a woman she is." This new actor in the case, after one brief appearance in Municipal Court, of which the effect was to procure an in crease of the bond of $6000, has dis appeared again, but remains in the city, pnd will await the outcome of the case. If conviction fails here she will go on to Milwaukee, where another charge awaits Von Klein, and then, if he retains his freedom, she will com mence a prosecution, she savs. COURT RULING FREES COX Cincinnati Banker and Associates Held Not Oulpablc.
