r London, March 19. Conquest of the
world by " Imperial Germany and a
Germanlzation of woman," would
deal a heavy blew to civilization. Mrs.
Emmellne Pankhurst. militant suf
fragist leader, declared today in an
Interview with the United. Press.
Mrs. pankhurst was discussing with
me the appeal of President Walter
Kunciman; of the board of trade for
an. organization of English women to
aid' the government In the war. The
militant suffragettes. he said, wel-r
corned the chance to shw that worsen
may be an Important asset.
"-But what Is the position of the
German women in the wa?" 1 asked.
-"It would be terribEe disaster if
the Germans captured the world." was
her decisive response. "The Germans,
we muBt admit, take good care of their
women. But they regard them I do
hot like to use the word as breeders.
They consider them solely a means of
maintaining the race. On the other
hand, a conquest of Germany by the
allies would mean not only the liber
atjon of civilization, but the libera
tion of German, men and women from
German ideas."
" . Alcohol CanHi Crime.
I was about to put another question
when Mrs. Pankhurst llnterrupted,
"What about the violation of women
: by German soldiers?" She asked,
r I suggested that probably there were
bad men In every army.;
"But there are more bad men in the
army which consumes the most aleo-.
liol." she replied. "I lon't believe
British soldiers wouid behave like the
Germans under similar circumstances.
When the tables are turned and the
allies begin to advance into Germany,
the supply of alcohol Should be cut
off."
"There is no necessity, nor . will
there be any that English women act
ually take up arms," said Mrs. Pank
hurst with a smile. "But it is the
duty of Knglish women to perform
the normal work of the nation while
the: men are at the front, if they
are needed.
"The suffragettes have always want
ed the government to regard English
women as a reserve force. The vast
Intelligence and capability of women
may be made an asset- Two-thirds of
Lord Kitchener's army are married
men. British women, who have any
control over men are insisting that
they loin the forces at the front. It
Is the bachelors who are holding back.
They lack a woman's influence.
Wona;: Suffer Most.
" "It labour women who have been
the greatest sufferers, economically,
from the , war especially the women
of education.' Many men who ought
to. be at the. front are filling places
"that these women could fill. Never
theless, the men generally are doing
nobly. In your Civil war. you know,
the United States was forced to adopt:
conscription. But so far it has been
unnecessary, here. .' : ; . : j
: "We suffragettes love our country;
as much as all the. women of Eng-j
land could. We could have gone toi
America where women are gt-tting the)
vote or to some English colony, but!
we remain in England' because of our
love for our country. j
"We feel that,a German victory will
set-back the feminine imovement in-j
definitely, and we know that the wom-j
en of England can be canrted into a
tremendous asset for j assisting thtj
cause of the allies."

Ort May 6, 1914, the Consolidated
Contract compan of Portland en
tered into a contract to ; clar and
grade 38 riiiles of highway in Colum
bia pouritvl It is claimed that1 the
company lest mojney on the contract.
although 1 pt was taken on most fav
orable terns.
It is claimed by engineers that its
failure to make a profit was due to
lack of ex perience, equipment an,d or
ganization. ; Mudh of the ' work' was
let out to subcontractors without the
consient of the highway department.
The contractors' methods of doing bus
iness with the subcontractors were
disclosed to the jdiscredit of the con
tractors I:, a sMlt brought in the
Multnomah ; county court by a ! mer
chant of (Hatskahie to obtain a Judg
meiit for supplies furnished sub
con'.ractorn.
Vijl Work reU sown. :
Friction arone between the contrac-i
tors; and the highway department en-l
gingers, ykho Insisted that the work
should iot be slighted, but should b
don according j to specification. A
piece of wall work, which the engineer
asserted as not properly built and
which wais not (accepted by the en
ginfeer. fell down damaging the rail4
roald - track, i. . j j
At thej beginning of the year the
stae highway engineer had computed
his final ; estimates of quantities and
offered tb make a final settlement.
The fcontractors (refused to settle ;and
threatened to bri4g suit against the
coujnty for extract in order to protect
thai I interests of the county engineers
wete kept on the jjob, at an extra ex
pense to j;he eouhtp,-. H j.
Accordihg to the estimates of the
staeihiglway engineer, there was due
thai contructors .the gum of approiH
mateiy 10.000. Instead of accepting
SHR
this, amount and seeking an adjudica
tion ofj its claims for extra work in
the courts .-the. company deferred man
ing a settlement, relying upon Senator
Day toi secure the dismissal of j Engi
neer Bowlbyi and the appointment of
a new official,
Pending' this consummation the
company has! negotiated a loan of $50,
000 to ftide itj over. The only hope for
the company to extricate itself from
its embarrassment is the success of
Senator Day in getting a state appro
priation and! the appointment ofj a pli
able engineer.
Would prohibit Competition.
Another aitempt of Senator pay to
further his interests as a paving con
tractor and those of his business as
sociates was his endeavo at the last
legislature to secure the passage of a
law that would practicullyrohibit
competition Jn pavinj bids.
Again the intimate relationship be
tween ithe Oregon Independent paving
company, the Consolidated Cpntract

Joe Keller Was "It
Thereby Hangs This
esting Story, Tra
To be a parole officer and special
agent of a governor is one tiling. To
be chief mogul of a boxing cl lb is An
other. Either may be all right by !it-
i
self alone, but when the. two iare com
blned in one person, that person'js fet
no longer know the paths of pleasant
ness. . - j
At least, that would seem o e the
experience of Joe Keller, erstwhile cap
tain of police in Portland, latsr onei of
the organizers and presiden t of the
Mohawk boxing club, and now parole
officer of the Oregon penitentiary and
special agent of Governor Withyeorabe.
The Mohawk club was organized a.st
September. Premises at 4714 Union
avenue were leased from the owner,! N.
C. Evans. The lease was signed by. jthe
club and by Keller and a man named
McDonald individually. The j rent. $0
a month, was paid up to jinuary 1.
but none has been paid since that time.
Now, unpaid rent is a well tnownj If
not a popular, bugaboo. The bugafcoo
camped on the trail of Joe Kjeller. fis
tic impresario, when he attejmpted! to
mount ambition's leader. jHow (the
bugaboo was outgeneraled 1 a chap
ter by itself !n the thrilling! romajnc
that might be woven of the -Uariegated
career of the ex-captain of police
Rvans, desiring his rent and having
no intention of "queering" Keller Ttith
the governor, who had just jappoirited
him to a responsible and confidential
position, attempted to attach the re
ceipts of a smoker a the Monawk club
the night of March 12' '
Instead of following Instructions
and serving the attachment after jthe
box office had garnered its harvest.
the deputy constable served
the writ
when Ithe

fight fans arrived they wed

with a dark hall and padlocked doors
While . Evans was vainly
trying to
collect his rent. Jack King, wj
ell known
local sporting man. came to
th nronosal that he cancel
Wm with
the lease
to the Mohawk club and make another
lease to a new organization at a lower
rental
King quoted Keller as saylhs to him,
"You fellows have got to get me
out
of this trouble. You know
am in
the governor's office now
the
can
the
eovernor's special agent and I
queer the whole game," meaning
boxing game.
That's about all. except that Kelli
(er's
father and brother are both deputy
constables. And that Gus Moser, Kel
ler's, attorney, is the Senator Mpser
who fathered the infamous spoilsmen's
bill in the last legislature. And that
Mi)onald, who signed the lease with
Keller, is said to be slated for
pointment as deputy 'sheriff.! .

yfho wouldn't be a governor's spe'

paid, provided he had such powerful
and influential friends as . lex-Captain
Keller seems to have?
