After Hrai-ln Story of Smmll Mlse,
San Francleoo Jurist Drcldc.
Neither Tarent Shall lias. Her.
Women In Room Cry.
SAX FRANCISCO. Dec. 51 Special.)
After creating a scene In the court
room by scratching and Denting her
mother. little Louise A. Schroder, the
11-year-oM daughter of Mra. Rose
Schroder. dITorced from her husband,
told Superior Judge Van Nostrand In

Wild excitement ruled In the court-

REDMOND MAKES APPEAL
London Business Men Hear Why
Ireland Needs Help.
DUBLIN. Dec . Spe. king at
the City Liberal Club In Lon
don. John Redmond made a well
reasoned appeal to a body of business
men. based on two grounds the Inef
ficiency and extravagance of the pres
ent method of governing Ireland and
the congestion of business In the Im
perial Parliament. Next year, he said,
all of them would be engaged In dla
cussing a great measure of appease
ment and reconciliation for Ireland,
and. although they could not at the
present moment discuss the exact de
tails of that tneaaure or the exact ma
chinery that would be proposed for
carrying It oat. It was still of the ut
most Importance that the main princi
ples and the broad aspects of the
problem should be fully understood and
considered at once.
When they were told that Ireland
was a pauper dependent, and that her
poverty waa due to the Incapacity of
her own people and their Inaptitude for
commercial pursuits, let them remem
ber that for at least 200 years It was
the deliberate policy of England to de
stroy Irish Industries. In the seven
teenth century Irish Industries were
beating English Industries In England's
own market, and the Parliament of
England took steps to prevent that
state of things continuing. Because
England succeeded by her legislation In
auppresslng Irish Industries, that was
no proof of the Incapacity of the peo
ple of Ireland for Industrial pursuits.
The very moment that Grattan succeed
ed in establishing his free Parlia
ment, from that moment Irish Indus
tries revived.
Then cane the fnlon. and from ths
day of the Union down to today It had
been one continual history of decay and
Industrial stagnation In Ireland. One
of the first results In Ireland would be.
as the outcome of self-government, a
revival of the Industrial prosperity of
the country.

George H. Wilcox, the present Mayor.
The main planks of Mr. Bensell's
platform are progressive; he wants the
sewer system, so long promised snd
discussed, to be put In without further
delay, and to have the main street at
the boat landing planked.
Mr. Wilcox Is not opposed to a sewer
