MORE THAN A SCORE HAVE.

Correspondence.) It to expected by
many women lawyers' or the city that at
tills session or the Supreme Court of the
United States another iraaui would be ,
presented to that dignified body tor ad-
mission to practice, at Its bar. But with !
the end of the term only "a month stray,
these hopes ore not likely of fruition, and j
Mrs. Victoria Conklicg -Whitney, of St.
Louis, Is the last woman admltter, faav
lnr sisncd her name to the roll of practi
tioners on April . 190Q. There are but H.
women lawyers who have the honor of
admission within the rail ot the highest-
court ot the country, and the history ot
their successive admissions Is Interesting.
The rail of the court contains the names
of many thousands of men lawyers, acd
these 21 women Illustrate the axiom that
"all men and women) are created equal."
an evident Intention on- the part of the
makers of the Immortal Declaration.
For many years the prejudice against
women In the professions was so strong
that It was not us 111 1S79 that the bars
were lifted nt the Supreme Court and
Bclvr. A. Loclrrrood took- the oath to "de
mean herself according to the rules of this
court and to support the Constitution of
the United States." Kmlnently fitting was
It that the cothcr of the till that admitted
women to practice before the Supreme
Court and the Court of Claims should be
the first of her sex to demand admlralon
to both, and on Match . 1ST9. she became
a practitioner, her struggles or years bav
ins' at last bsrr.e fruit.
The most Interesting feature of these
admissions of women is that of the Pier
family, of Milwaukee, a mother and three
daughters' baring been successively ad
mitted to practice before the dignified
body. Mrs. Kate II. Pier, the mother of
this Interesting family, was admitted on
January SL 1331. and her daughters, Caro
line. Kate and Harriet, on January 13,
1ST, and February 1. iSOi. respectively, tho
Us: two on that date. Mrs. Pier is a
daughter of Vermont and was bora in
1S43, removing to Wisconsin In 1X3. In
1S58 she became the wife of Colonel Col
wert K, Pier, a lawyer and banker, and
later took, with her daughter Kate, the
law course of the University of Wiscon
sin, graduating with 1,1. B. honors In 1SS7.
She was actively engaged In business with
iter husband untn hla death in 1S36 and
since then has continued his practice as
well as attended to- the duties of Court
commissioner; which ofac she lias held
sine lfSll Iler eldest daughter. Kate
Hamilton Pior-Mockietosh, besides belrg
a beautiful woman. Is an extremely bril
liant member ot her chosen profession.
She is only '& years old. yet has won dis
tinction In the law and has been ot im
mense practical service to her husband, a
railroad contractor. Her attainments are
exceptional; she is a graduate ot the Wis
consin College of Physicians and Sur
geons and a member ot Jtha Milwaukee
Board of Cooking School Inspectors as
well as an active member ct the law" Brm
of which her mother Is. the .head.
Caroline, the second daughter. Is the wife
of John If. Roomor, an attorney of Mil
waukee, and an active member of the
Pier firm.
Harriet was born 'In 1STJ and is unmar
ried. She al-o Is an LL. B. of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, and for several years
has spent much of her time In the forests
ot Northern Wisconsin caring for tho In
terests of her mother, who owns large
tracts of land there. The self-reliance of
the Western American girl is typified la
this young woman. Cultivated to the high
est point, she donned tho roughest garb
and sallied forth into the wilderness, the
roughest sort of life htr dally portion,
woodsmen alone her companions, but she
cared for the interests with wlch she had
been entrusted aa well, or better, than
any man could have done.
Continued Her Husband's Practice.
Many of the women lawyers who have
attained to practice before the Supreme
Court ot the United States have made
successes that win bear critical compari
son with that ot most of the men mem
bers cf that bar. Notable among these
is Mrs. Ellen Bpencer Mussey, now of
Washington, but a native of Ohio. She
is the only woman -den ot a law rihool
In the world, is the 13th woman to be ad
mitted to practice before the Supreme
Court, was counsellor for the National
Bed Cross untn Its incorporation by Con
gress, and has succeeded in establishing
for herself a reputation aa a woman law
yer second to none in the world. She
Is a daughter of Piatt R- Spencer, the
Inventor of the Spencerlan system of pen
manship, and the widow of General R. D.
Mus&ey, whose large practice in the Dis
trict of Columbia she has not only con
tinued, but Increased since his death la
1$7- She established the first law school
In the "world, the primal object of which
was the education of women In this pro
fession, and is the author of the act
which placed mothers on an equality with
their fathers as the -natural guardians of
their children. She is counsellor for sev
eral foreign legations at the Capital.
On the whole women who have at
tained the distinction of admittance to
practice before the bar made famous by
John Marshall, and to speak In the cham-
Dcr where Webster made his imperishable, .
reply to Hayns during the sessions there
ot the United States Striate, are mora
than wrfrthy of tho adulations of their
countrymen. Without material help from
the stronger sex they have hewn a way
Into .the primeval forest ot sex .prejudice
and erected a "pyramid of sex equality
that must be a lasting monument to their
courage and power of brain. In the
centuries that have passed it has been
held that woman had but one thing' to do
obey her lord and master, but in 'this
20th century she has. attained a position.
She Is' a property-owner.' a wealth-producer,
a factor by necessity In the busi
ness world, a leader In social reforms and
charitable work and a strong influence in
the political world. And with' all these
avenues opened to her she has not desert
ed the fireside where every woman feels
her heart to call her, but tor which all
cannot be chosen.
Other members of the bar of the highest
court In the land are: Laura de Force
Gordon, of San Francisco: Ada M. Blt

EXTRACTING FUEL POWER FROM THE POTATO
Germany Has Found the Toper, Good for SomrfMng Else Besides Food
'l
MONO other things tor which the
potato and Its direct products have
lately been successful!- employed
are the heating or houses in Winter, the
Illumination ot great' buildings and the
propulsion ot automobiles.
In Germany they have carried the de
velopment of the vegetable's manifold
possibilities to the highest point, and some
marvelous results have been achieved
there.
Consul-General Frank Mason has Just
cent to the United States Department ot
State from his post at Berlin a remarka
ble account of the manner In which Ger
many has been making capital out ot the
potato.
As a consequence, he says; the abun
dance of land adapted to potato culture
and the steady lacreasa eft be product
through consummate scientific methods
the crop had reached In 1S01 the danger
point of overproduction; that Is to say,
the harvest of tS,CS7,CnM tons of potatoes
raised th serious problem of how to dis
pose of them without waste or so depress
ing the market price that there would be
left In It no profit for the fanner.
The first result was a tremendous In
crease In the production of potato alcohol
during the Autumn and Winter months, a
consequent oversupply ot raw spirits on
the market. and the exposition of Febru
cry. to Illustrate, promote and ei
tend by all practical means the use of
denaturlxed alcohol for technical and In
dustrial purposes. The exposition has
been repeated this year. and. as already
Indicated, on a broader and more compre
hensive scale in' that 1; now covers not
merely the alcohol Industry, but the cult!
xatlon and the several principal uses of
potatoes.
.If is estimated that' of the entire annual
potato crop of Germany, one-halt Is con
sumed directly as human food. Germans
have long been In the foremost rank as
potato eaters.
Aside from alcohol, which forms a spe
cial category itself, the uses to which the
potato are put are mainly the manufac
ture, of starch, starch sirup, potato Sour,
dextrin and starch sugar. In all these
specialties' the increase of both production
and export has been rapid and steady
during the past ten years. The exports
of dextrin and potato Sour to the United
States from three factories In the district
of Berlin alone reach a total value of
nearly SM0.W0 per annum.
For two years past the navy of the Crar
has been urine alcohol boat motors up to
300 horse-power with highly successful re
sults. More recently .the Internal revenue
tax has been removed from Russian alco
hol when used for Industrial purposes, and
the government has adopted the definite
policy of making the potato, through con
version Into denaturlxed spirits, a source
of Increased wealth to the peasantry.
In lamps, chandeliers and street and
corridor lights, -alcohol, vapor is burned
like' gas in, a hooded shame, .covered by
a WeUbaeh mantle. Under- such -condi
tions alcohol vapor bums with an Incan
descent Came which rivals the" arc light

cs he Is, he may come down Kern Blver
to Bakersfleld and risk taking the train
in an effort to elude pursuit by the very
audacity of his movements. To guard
against this possibility. Bherlff Kelly has
depuUied City Marshal T. J. Packird. of
Bakersfleld, one of the most determined
officers In this state, to head a posse
to lay In wait tor him In the Kern Blver
Clnyon.
Like Murderer Tracy, McKlnney Is a
dead-shot. Like the Oregon outlaw, he Is
a bold and determined man and when cor
nered is expected to fight to tho last.
Like him. he is fertile in resource, a
tireless rider, and one who knows how
to take advantage of every point ot van
tage .for an ambush. Like Tracy, too.
he is treacherous to the last degree:
like Tracy, too. ho takes no account of
friendship, and the companions ot years
aro as likely to fall victims-to him as
the veriest stranger, as was the case with
his partner Tom Sayres. That he win not
hesitate to shoot a harmless man In the
back was thoroughly demonstrated by
his murder ot Charlie Blakey at King
man. I
A reward ot J50O for his capture, dead or
alive, has, been offered by the Arizona
authorities: CM .has been offered by the
State of California and S0 by Sheriff
Collins, ot Tulare. Stimulated by these
rewards "officers everywhere are in arms
against , him. His capture or violent
death can hardly be more than a ques
tion of a few days or weeks at the most.

As another example of the efficiency of
this organization may be cited Its system
ot alcohol distribution to rural districts
as a convenient fuel for motor purposes.
Since the Inception of this movement It
has been a point of extreme Importance to
replace the steam locomobiles for thrash- j
lng. grinding, fuel cutting and other agri
cultural purposes, with alcohol motors,
for which are claimed the Important ad
vantage of Immediate readiness tor opera
tion, no coal or water to be provided, no
fireman needed, freedom from smells or
danger ot lire; and, finally, greater econo
my of maintenance.
Bnt In order to promote the substitution
h-of spirit motors tor steam and horse
power It was necessary- to make alcohol
cheap and easy to obtain by farmers In
districts where no raw spirit is made. To
meet this requirement the Central Asso
ciation undertakes to deliver free at any
railroad station In Germany denatutized
alcohol Of SO per cent purity for. approxi
mately, 15, It and 17 cents a gallon, ac
cording to the material with which It Is
denaturlxed. The Hamburg - American
Steamship Company has in service a har
bor inspection launch which, with a 3
horse-power spirit engine, makes, a speed
of ten knots, and preparations are being
made to greatly extend the use ot such
motors In the launches and ships' boats
ot the German Kavy.
The German government has Instituted
an elaborate competition with -valuable
prizes for the best alcohol motor vehicle
for military purposes, and the tests ot
the several competing carriages will take
place during the coming "Spring. In this
way it is arranged to equip the army with
motor vehicles that cannot be put out of
service by a blockade of Imported petro
leum products In time of war.
BLOOD WILL TELL.
Chances Better for Those of Good
. Stock Than Bid.
Kansas City Star.
Ever since Professor Welsmann cut oft
the tails of many generations ot mice, but
failed to produce a tailless variety, the
question of the influence of heredity has
been.hbtly debated. It Is a rather com
plicated .subject because of the -difficulty
of distinguishing traits due to heredity
from those produced by surroundings.
How much ot William Pitt's success, tor
Instance, was due to the- fact that he
was the son of Chatham and' how much
to his training from association with his
father? Did not John" Stuart Mill owe
more to his intimacy with James Mill and
Jeremy Bentham than to the accident of
birth? A few years ago a certain family
which produced criminals from one gen
eration to another was adduced .as evi
dence of the strength ot heredity. But It
was soon pointed out that the training ot
children In hiint of crimp mlrht hnv
I
something to do with the family degeneracy.
It Is. however, impossible to deny that
however strong the Influence of surround
ings blood will tell. This does not mean
that the child ot a criminal may not be
brought up ah honest man. Indeed, it
signifies hardly more than that a Fiji
Infant can by no possibility become a
second Newton or Shakespeare: that the
chances, other things being equal, are
rather better for the child of good stock
than for the one from bad. in the cur- I
rent Issue ot the Popular science Monthly
Dr.. F. A. Woods gives some facts from
a study ot Lehr's "Genealogy," which
tend to emphasize the part ot heredity In
leading to high mental activity.
This "Genealogy" traces to the 12th de
gree .ot remoteness eight ot the principal
reigning families' of Northern Europe.
Provided there had been no intermar
riages nearly 23,000 persons would have
been Included In the tables, but the al
liances between the families reduce this
number to 3312. Dr. Woods regards this
group as especially adapted to his study.
since the social position ot Its members
was about the same and the opportunities
open to them were not dissimilar. For
Instance, the Danish Princes probably had
about the same chance to distinguish
themselves as bad the Prussian. They
lived in stirring times and opportunities
to show ability in war, and government
came to alL But no geniuses appeared
In Denmark, while Prussia at the time J
was full of them. ur. woods remarks
that not only were there great men and !
women In Prussia, but .their relations In
Brunswick and Sweden were making repu
tations while tho Princes -of nine-tenths
of the other countries of Europe were do
ing nothing worthy of mention.
Taking Inclusion of names in Llppln
cotrs "Dictionary'' as his test. Dr. Woods
finds only IS of the 2313 to be persons of
genius. Of these only one. Catherine II
ot Russia, gives no striking- proof ot
heredity. At least seven are descendants
ot Illustrious parents or grandparents.
Frederick William, the "great elector" of
Brandenburg, for Instance, was the, great
grandson of William the Silent. The oth
er eight ate what Dr. Woods terras
"new variations." They sprang from
mediocre stock, but had distinguished
descendants. William of Orange, for instance,-
had no Illustrious ancestors, but
his genius has repeatedly appeared in his
descendants. Were environment the main
cause In producing distinguished men and
women. Dr. Woods thinks that cases like
that of Catherine would be the rule and
not the exception. The fact that 90 per
rnt of the cafs are comnatlblp with tK
heredity theory he regards as proof of
Its correctness.
That half of the geniuses studied are
new variations does not disturb Dr.
Woods. 'This," he says. " is pretty well
In line with results in the study of genius
in generaL That Is, the vast horde of
mediocrities is just about as likely to
produce a great man as the relatively
smaller number ot great persons are
likely to perpetuate their own kind."
Very rarely an individual seems to in
herit the best traits of a' long line of
mediocre ancestors In such a combina
tion as to make him distinguished.
Franklin and Lincoln are Illustrations
of this type of genius. But Dr. Woods
says "we' should consider the millions of
mediocrities who have to be born from
mediocrities before one mind like Frank
lin's Is produced." Of course, geniuses
are so rare that under the most favorable
circumstances the chances are against
the reproduction of all their qualities In
their children. Dr. Woods uses the Illus
tration of dice throwing. It Is possible
In a very large number of attempts to
throw all aces. But In certain families
of genius like the Hohenzollems. the dice
are loaded, and such a result may be ex
pected In a large percentage of throws.
The Women Inspectors. .
New Tork Evening World.
The case against the women Inspectors
of immigration appears to bo' carried;
there Is now no reasonable doubt that at
the end of their 90 days' probation their
services will be dispensed with.
It Is the reason thereof that is the curi
ous thing. Fears were felt originally that
the women would prove Incompetent physi
cally. Tho public In Its mind's eye saw
them clambering up insecure ladders to
slippery 'decks at great personal risk.
These and other material obstacles they
overcame. It appears that they have been
found lacking because they ask too many
rude questions. Their asslsnment was a
most delicate one to discover and defeat
any plan to Import women for-Immoral
purposes. They do not seem to have re
lied sufficiently pn their feminine Intui
tion. When a suspicion assailed them
they voiced It In questions so objection
able as to arouse a feeling of resentment.
So they are to go," and men supposedly
less tactful in such missions are to be
reassigned to this duty. It is an odd les

CALIFORNIA'S "HARRY TRACY"
Bloody Career of James
McKlnney, Gambler, Dead Shot
Murderer and Outlaw
BAKEKSTTELD. CaL, April H. What
Harry Tracy was to Oregon and
Washington, James McKlnney. the
four-time murderer and outlaw. Is now to
tho Sui Joaquin Valley and the State ot
California. WMle he has not yet killed
a many men as the famous outlaw ot the
Northwest did during his battles with the
officers ot the law, McKlnney has still no
lees than four cold-blooded murders to his
credit, besides three men who his uner
ring rifle has brought near to death's
door.
McKlnney, criminal career began tea
years ago In Tulare County. He Is a
native .of theeo parts, and but for
whisky and gambling would probably
havo become a Quiet, Inoffensive and
law-abiding cltlren. Bnt the latter
vices caceefi his ruin. He became a
victim of the fiery fluid and tho green
cloth. In Tulare County ten years ago
he shot and badly wounded a man In a
aajoon row. Fur this crime he served
seven years in San QuenUn prison.
On hla release he turned up In the min
ing town of Bandsburg. In this county,
where he resumed his old habits, following
the occupation ot barkeeper and gambler.
While there he got into trouble for as
saulUng a frequenter of one of the resorts
where he raadehls headquarters. He was
arrested by John W. Kelly, at that time
Constable at Bandsburg. end now Sheriff
of Kern County, but escaped prosecution.
Killed II U Friend and Partner.
After getting clear of this trouble he ap
peared In Bakersfleld, and la December.
1200, he shot and killed In cold blood his
triced and gambling partner, Tom Saj-crs.
In what is known as Jap Alley. While it
was generally believed to have been a 1
cold-blooded, deliberate murder, without a
single mlttgaung. circumstance or provo
cation, no one saw it done, and McKln
ney was acquitted on trial.
From Bakersfleld the murderer, after his
acquittal, went to Portervllle, In Tulare
County, and. there last July shot and killed
Billy Lynn and severely wounded two oth
ers, one the Constable ot Portervilfe.
He was arrested but a few weeks after
wards, made a sensational escape from
the jail at Vlsalia, fleeing with a price
upon his head and was protected and
aided by the friends ot his boyhood days
who stood by him In his trouble. From
Portervllle, after staying sometime at
the ranch of a friend near there, he
sought refuge In the mountains of Kern
County in the vicinity of GlenvtUe, Linn's
Valley and KernvUle. Here he had hosts
ot friends who protected him. supplying
him with provisions and warning him ot
any pursuit. But there was little effort
made to capture him, few officers car
ing to take the chances ot falling by his
unerring rifle.
At the November election McKlnney"s
escape from the custody of Sheriff Park
er was made a pollUcal Issue and result
ed In the defeat ot that official for re-election.
His successor, W. W. Collins. Im
mediately took up the matter and pur
sued the outlaw unrelentingly. The lat
ter left the vicinity ot Glesdale, going
south into Socora. Mexico. About eight
weeks ago McKlnney was located at Her
moslllo and an effort was made to appre
hend him and secure his extradlUon.
The necessary papers were Issued by Governor-
Pardee, but when Sheriff Collins
reached Herraos'Uo this Mexican officials
had. allowed the ouUaw to escape.
Doable Murder In Arltonau
For a short time nothing ?ras heard
from the tuslUve murderer, but a series
of hold-ups and robberies occurred. In
rapid succession along the Arizona-Mexico
border, which are now believed to
hive been the work of McKlnney. The
first definite news ot his doings came
from Kingman. Arlr.. where on April 1
he murdered In cold blood Roy Winches
ter and Charles Blakey. known as" the
"Cowboy Pianist." at Cedar StaUon. a
short distance from Kingman. It Is sup
posed that McKlnney, who at that point
went by the name of T. B. Mclntyre,
mistook the two for officers in pursuit
of him. Blakey was .shot la the breast
and Winchester In the back with buck
shot. After the killing, McKlnney went To a.
neighboring ranch and compelled the
ranchman to shoe two horses tor him
and, after warning the ranchman If be
valued his. life to not betray him, the
murderer mounted his horse and rode
away.
Likely to Meet Tracy's Fnte
His whereabouts Is for the moment a
matter ot conjecture, posses are at his
front, rear and both flanks. Rapidly they
are closing In upon him: each hour the
cordon Is drawn tighter around the hunt- .
ed man. Ere this sjory is printed be may 1
have met the fate ot Tracy, as It Is be
lieved that he will never be taken alive. ;
He carries both a rifle and two pistols, !
and when last seen was well supplied I
with ammunition. He knows every foot
of the mountains, even to the -most ob
scure trails and the country affords htm
every advantage. The pursuit Is now la '
a district far removed from railroads. ,
. the nearest being some U) miles away. 1
I The only communication is by a private
telephone line to KernvUle from Call
en te. a small station S3 miles south ot
Bikersfleld. Days may elapse before
news of his doings is received.

TESTIMONIALS. We never use testimonials, our best recommendations

been effected.
WOMEN
Female complaints have proved a stum
bling block to some ot the best physicians
and It requires the keenest Intellect,
backed by never-ending research and long,
experience to correctly diagnose the nu
merous Ills to which woman-is called upon
to bear. Womanly modesty sometimes pre
vents the sufferer from seeking aid until
the case becomes acute and something
has to he done or death will ensue. If
men realized what women "suffer, some
times silently, they would treat the weak
er sex with more consideration and re
lieve their burden as far as it Is in their
power to do so. Some women are old
before they have reached tbe age of 30
years, though Nature never Intended that
they should. The reason is easily
given neglect of Nature's laws and Im
proper treatment at the hands of some
Inexperienced physician. Any woman who
reads this and is suffering from any
cause, don't hesitate but come at once
