THE MORNING OKEGOMAX. SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1913. 3 DANIELS TALKS ON VOTES FOR WOMEN Secretary Has No Fears for Love, Marriage and Home Under New System. AID NEEDED FOR REFORMS Sex Admonished to Cso Ballot for Health, Sanitation and Protec tion of Children Extension Is Bound to Come. SAN FRANCISCO, July 25. Secretary Daniels, of the Navy Department, told the women of the San Francisco Civil League tonight that whatever the opin ion of individuals about the wisdom of woman suffrage, "We may as well get ready for the inevitable, for women are going to vote." "Only last month," he continued, 'Illi nois gave them the ballot for all ex cept constitutional offices, and the pres ent generation will witness complete woman suffrage in every state in the American union. And when it comes, the Constitution will not be broken and the home will not be dethroned. "Yours is the first state," said the Secretary, addressing himself directly to California, "with big population, with seaports of prime importance and cos mopolitan population, to give the ballot to 'women on the same terms with men. How will it turn out? Every foe as well as every friend of woman suf frage is watching you. Is it too much to say that the question for this gener ation is hanging in the balance, to be determined by the wisdom of your ex ercise of the ballot? Child Is State's First Care. "The world is only now fully awak ening to Jefferson's conception of gov ernment. This chart of human liber ties first of all declares to the state that, paramount to the protection of In fant Industries, is care for the infants of the Republic "For 6000 years they have been per mitted to die by impure milk, impure food, disgraceful sanitary conditions, unhealthy surroundings. death-hole tenements and typhoid and other pre ventable germs. We. have, spent mil lions to protect infant industries until they have grown into giants and we continue to feed them. We have spent only a pittance to protect the infants. "It Is only in recent years that the conscience of the country has been aroused to the protection of girlhood and the suppression of the white slave traffic has been vigorously undertaken by local, state and Federal govern ments. Juvenile courts have come out of this new enlightenment. Woman's Work Is Outlined. "If the women of California exercise the right of suffrage for health, sani tation, the protection of child, the wo men, the home; if they stand against graft and hysterics; if they sentence immoral men to political St, Helenas; If they oppose privilege and the rule of protection that lets one man get rich at the expense of the many; if they set their faces for the real reforms, who will dare say that suffrage has not been Justified of her children? "The only argument against suffrage that has had and still has weight, has been the fear that women would neg lect the home for the hustings; that the family life would be less retired and less wholesome; that race Huiclde would ensue and that the modesty and grace or our women would give place to self-asserttveness and grossness. Of course, if such results should follow, woman suffrage would be worse than the murrain or the locusts of Egypt and the plague would ruin the race. But did God make man and woman capable of forgetting the object of ex istence? Can love and marriage and the family ever fail to be the trinity that will have no rivals? To doubt that the family will always be the cen ter is to doubt the wisdom of God." SCION OF RICH AMERICAN FAMILY, HIS SECOND WIFE AND 10-MONTHS-OLD BABY WITH NURSE, JUST ARRIVED FROM EUROPE ALASKA CASE NEARS END Defense Rests in McDonald Murder Trial at Juneau. JUNEAU, Alaska. July 25. The de fense rested today in the trial of Jo seph MacDonald, general manager of the Consolidated Mining & Milling Com pany, of Guanajuato, Mexico, who is cn trial here on a charge of murder In the first degree for killing N. C. Jones, a mission worker, at Treadwell. May 14, 1302, when MacDonald was su perintendent of the Treadwell mine. The Government began the examina tion of witnesses in rebuttal today, and the case probably will go to the Jury Monday. MacDonald was on the stand testify ing in his own defense all day yester day and part of today. He told how Jones had bothered him many weeks before the killing trying to induce him to close the Treadwell mines on Sun day so as to "avoid the wrath of God." MacDonald then illustrated how. when Jones was killed, he held the chamber of Jones' revolver with his left hand while with his right he shot Jones first in the arms and then in the body, caus ing death. The trial will cost close to $100,000, so witnesses naving Deen summoned from all parts of the United States. Most of the expense falls on the defense.

Extent to Which Oakland Women Are Using- Liquor Also Declared to Be Alarming. SAN FRANCISCO. July 25. (Special.) The public welfare and censorship committee of Oakland, in a report made today, puts the responsibility for the growth In popularity of Immoral dances directly to the social leaders. Speaking of "rag" dances, the commit tee rapped the society women of the city thus: "If the society people would acquaint themselves with' the difference between dances given by the social set3 and the 'rag dances given by public dance halls tliey wo-ild realize the demoralizing effect their encouragement of 'rag dancing has on the people." In a section on restaurants the com mittee reports that after careful in vestigation it has been shocked to note the extent to which Oakland women are taking to drinking and charges that many restaurants are serving liquor without food.

Sheriff's Deputies Driven From Mines on South Range Gover nor Not to Attempt Arbi tration at Present. CALUMET. Mich., July 25. Reports that Governor Ferris would come to Houghton tonight to help arrange a settlement of the strike of 15,000 cop per mine employes in the northern pen insula brought out an unofficial state ment from the mine managers that they would welcome tne Governor's pres ence. Any plans for arbitration under the direction of the Governor were soon dispelled, however, by the announce ment that the Governor had no present j Intention of coming to the copper coun- Is protecting the mines against any further outbreak of the strikers. Disorder Are Sporadic. Disorders occurred spasmodically In the outlying districts of the mining country today, but in no case did the union members manifest the spirit which appeared in the attack on Cal umet & Hecla properties yesterday. A call for troops came from the South Range when union sympathizers drove away the Sheriff's deputies at the Baltic, Tri-Mountain and other mines, but an Investigation by mili tia commanders convinced them that the situation was not serious enough to require the presence of fftate sol diers. It was the consensus of opinion among officers of the three companies already here that the storm center would remain about Calumet. Accord ingly, company electricians strung wires all about the Calumet & Hecla shafts and shops with 60-candlepower lamps depending therefrom every six feet. The militia commanders were convinced that the illumination would prevent any possibility of "planting" explosives about the buildings at night. Union Issnn Statement. After a lengthy conference, . union officials issued a statement outlining the position of the miners. The state ment declared that the strike was not called until peaceable means had failed and reply had been refused to a letter to operating companies requesting conference for the adjustment of griev ances. The statement urges that as a labor er's citizenship gives him a voice in his government, his employment should give him a voice as to hours, wages and labor conditions, that that is what is meant by "recognition of the union," and that to offer to treat with indi viduals and refuse to treat with a com mittee representing the employes is a mock of fair dealing.
