PEW YORK. March 27.-Mrs.
Harlot Mohr, who aid she was from
Virgin, created a panic in a Sixth
Avenufcgurface car last night with a
revolver She was arrested after a
terrific s,ggle with a policeman.
The troub started when the conduc
tor asked flrS. Mohr for a fare.
"Here's mfare", 8he cried, "draw
ing a revoiv. ym fr0m Virginia
and I m lookirt, for my husband and
when I find M ' blow his head

NEW YORK, March 27 If Strang-
er visiting New York return to their
hotels late at night or early in the
morning fu.ll of the good things dis
pensed at the hospitable hostelric of
the town, they may be led to believe
that they have exceeded the danger
limit and are beginning to "see
things", when -they find nearly every
doorstep occupied by a woman, pa
tiently awaiting developments. These
silent figures, silent only because
overcome by sleep, will not be mere
creatures of the belated pedestrian'
imagination; they will be really there,
every one of them a suffragette, act
ing in accordance with the advice
given by Mrs. Florence Melley, one
of their leaders. "To get a man's
vote sit on bis door-stcp." she said the
other day at a meeting and her re
mark was received with such en
thusiasm, that it clearly indicated
how perfectly her advice agreed with
the ideas of her sister suffragettes.
If any doorstep should remain un
occupied it will be due to the fact
that there are not enough suffragettes
in the city to go round. The im
mediate result of this move will be
that the male citizens of New York
will sneak out of back-doors and over
the roofs of neighboring houses to
evade the suffragettes blockading
their front-door steps.
The suffragettes are conducting
vigorous campaign and even propose
to hold an open-air mass meeting in
Printing House Square at half past
two o'clock n the morning to convert
the newspapermen employed on the
morning papers in the locality. At
first they also intended to invite their
male sympatbzers to that meeting,
but the plan was abandoned, because
it was feared the night air might in
jure their complexion and being out
so late night nterfere with the domes'
tic duties of the "men".
Between keeping tab on the saloons
protecting pretty girls at the street
crossings during busy traffic . hours
keeping school children from running
under the wheels of delivery wagon
and other vehicles, chasing autos vio
lating the speed ordinance and sitting
around in magistrates' court rooms
the policemen of New York are kept
so busy that they have no time for
catching thieves, burglars and other
criminals. For that reason nobody
was surprised to hear that Comission
er Bingham has established a secret
police system, which shall be devoted
exclusively to the fcrretting out of
crimes and criminals.
Only a few days a leathergood)
merchant on Broadway, whose estab
lishment is on Broadway, nearly op
posite police headquarters, was rob
bed by burglars of goods valued at
more than $1,000. The feature, par
ticularly humiliating to the police de
partment is, that a few days before
the burglary the owner of the estab
lishment notified the police that the
locks of his factory had been tamper
ed with and a special watch wa or
dered to be kept on his place. The
front entrance to the building was
carefully guarded," but the thieves
were so inconsiderate as to change
their program and to enter the place
through a scuttle in the roof.
A few nights ago two of the trained
police dogs succeeded in capturing
three evil-doers, who had outdistanc
ed their blue-coated pursuers and
would have escaped, had it not been
for the four-legged assistants of the
police. Some facetious individual
thereupon sent a letter to Commis
sioner Bingham, recommending, "for

The dignity of a fledgeling Brook
lyn lawyer suffered a shock when he
entered the Supreme Court in that
borough the other day and asked for
an order which he had left to have
Justice Marean sign. When he re
ceived the papers he found attached
to them a slip on which was neatly
written, "I will not sign such a damn
fool order as this. J. T. H." When
the young attorney had partially re
covered from the shock he asked in
a bewildered way:
"What does this mean?"
"It means just what it says" replied
the clerk without any show of sym
pathy. "The Judge is not in the habit
of affixing his signature to what he
regards as damn fool papers."
The youthful barrister looked about
bipi in a dazed way for a moment or
two and then passed slowly out of
court. It appeared that he asked the
court to be allowed to amend a sum
mons and complaint so as to add a
Federal Trustee in Bankruptcy as a
defendant- He wanted the order
made "nuc protunc' in the unual way."
It seemed from the brief but eloquent
indorsement by Justice Marean that
there was no "usual way" as to such
motions.
Some of the New York' theaters
where particularly lurid shows are at
present running, must have been
stingy with their free passes lately.
One of the New York assembly-men
has introduced in the legislature two
bills, which would make guilty of a
misdemeanor every person who in
any capacity prepares, advertises or
participates in any indecent play or
entertainment, every lessee, owner or
manager of any place who leases or
permits it to be used for such exhibi
tion, and every person who prepares
or posts in any public place posters
tending to demoralize the public
morals or calculated to shock the
Sense of decency or propriety.
If these bills should become laws
it would be necessary to build large
additions to the prisons of the state
to accomodate the actors, actresses,
chorus girls, managers and bill-posters,
not to speak of the numerous em
ployes and attendants at various the
aters making a specialty of "haut
gout" shows. It does not appear
from the bills who is to
whether a show is "off color" or not.
The pastor of the First Congrega
tional Church of Jersey City has de
cided to wage' war against persons
violating the law prohibiting spitting
in trolley cars and other public con
veyances. It is rather rough on the
well-meaning pastor that one of the
New York morning papers published
the account of his proposed campaign
under the more than ambiguous head
line, "Pastor a Spitting Crusader".
CENTRALIZING THE POWER
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Sen-ator
Crawford of South Dakota, suc
cessor to Senator Kittredge, who was
chairman of the committee on inter
Oceanic canals, has signalized his en
trance into the Senate by introduc
ing a bill which would abolish the
Panama Canal Commission and place
in the hands of the President all au
thority over the canal zone. The bill
authorizes the President to proceed
with the excavation of the canal to
completion and to appoint a director
and a chief engineer. He is given
authority to fix their compensation,
but Congress is permitted to change
the amount if it so desires. '
The President is also given author
ity to remove any of the zone offic
ials at his pleasure. It is specified
that "AH orders and regulations with
respect to the government of the
canal zone hereafter enacted by the
President or pursuant to his direc
tions without prejudice to the power
to revoke or amend the same"

with the exposition held in St. Louis

MAKES NO MISTAKE
SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.
Naval Constructor Holdcn A. Evans
of Mare Island, speaking at a ban
quet given by the Rotary Club in this
city, declared it was absolutely neces
sary to maintain a powerful fleet in
Pacific waters. He said: "The Pa
cific, Coast is especially vulnerable
and can only be defended by a power
ful fleet- Without such a fleet an
enemy can raid the coast, destroy
commerce and effect landings at
many places. The acquisition of the
Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands
has broueht the United States into
world politics and has left this coun
try with responsibilities which it can'
not shirk." :

The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be

regularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indi

For thirtyyears Lydia 1. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been tho
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a tri.il.
Proof is abundant that it has ctin -l
thousands of others, and why shouil a
