DEWER. March 20. (Special.) The
fact that she is traveling alone from
Central Kansas to the Pacific Coast
holds no fear for little Violet Wing,
aged 6 years, who passed through Den
ver today en route from Formosa, Kan.,
to her home in Oregon City, Or. As
Violet came through the Union Depot
sates after alighting: from a Ruck
Island train she immediately was taken
ift charge by Mrs. Emma Flaven, secre
tary of the T. W. C. A., who took a
lunch box from under the arm of the
srirl and led her into the women's waiting-room.
In a few minutes a crowd of
men and women travelers attracted by
the big dark eyes and cheerful smile of
the child gathered about her and asked
question after question.
Was she afraid to travel a distance
of several thousand miles alone, and
wasn't she afraid that she might get
on the wrong train and get lost?
"No, I am not afraid," she said. "I
am going back to my mamma and papa
in Oregon City and papa Is going to
meet me at the depot." was the reply.
Tied on to her coat are two tags
one a baggage tag and another on
which is written: "Violet Wing to
William Wing. Oregon City, Or."
She left Denver at 12:li o'clock this
afternoon over the Union Pacific.
OREGON CITV. Or.. March CO. (Spe

his daughter, the directions and tags
having been arranged wtih the Kansas
relatives through correspondence. The
father is ns confident that his little
cirl will reach liim as. she is of arrlv
lug here without accident.
H. H. ROGERSJR., SCORED
Conrt Kaps Effort to Collect From
Home for Crippled Children.
NEW YORK. March 20. Henry II.
Rogers, Jr., was severely criticised by
the appellate division of the Supreme
Court In an opinion handed down by
that tribunal today in a suit brought
against him by the Messiah Home for
Crippled Children, in the matter of the
title to the home on which Mr. Rogers
said he held' a mortgage of $600,000.
It is contended that the property was
given to the home outright by the
H. H. Rogers, fr.. now dead.
While the V:ourt held that the case
must be settl.ed In court, it said: "There
Is no other way of characterizing the
transaction than as a fraud on the
plaintiff (the home). After adopting
resolutions of appreciation and thanks,
with public dedication, the home finds
that its supposed generous donor has
saddled it with the onerous burden of a
$600,000, 6 per cent mortgage which
does not represent a dollar of actual
money indebtedness."

defective electric wiring, and the build

Riflrn Old,' Ammunition Scarce. . .
Nevinson estimates that between 60,
000 and 80,000 men would respond to a
call for the mobilization of the volun
teers. He thinks the rifles of the vol
unteers obsolete and - of several dif
ferent patterns and that, ammunition
is scarce. .
"In scattered groups," Mr. Nevinson
continued, "they would try to harass
the regular army sent to occupy the
country. The movement, therefore, is
not a bluff proper. Neither is It formid
able from a military point of view. The
intention is serious, though fantastic,
and it is formidable because no one
wants to shoot "his own people."

Meeting, Says Her Sex Must
Supply Shortcomings.

Boissevain (Inez Milhoiland), suf
fragist leader of New York, addressed
an open air meeting in front of the

viting questions from the men in the
crowd.

but said: "Woman's place is . in the
kitchen."
"There are nine million women who
can's stay in the kitchen, because they
have to go out and work." Mrs.
Boissevain replied. "They are not
working because they find it easy.
Conditions are bad for them. They
are under political disability and are
harassed" by economic conditions and
ancient prejudices. If working men
find it necessary to have laws to pro
tect them, how much more the work
ing woman." . .
"How can women give their children
proper attention if they, go into poll
tics?" asked another auditor.
"If a woman is to rear a healthy and
perfect child," she answered, "she must
control the conditions in the home and
outside the home. She has to prepare
the world for children."
"Why cannot men prepare the world
for children?" came another question.
"Well, look around you," was the
reply. "I do not know why they can
not, but the answer Is they have not."
