WASHINGTON. Jan. 15 (Fpeclal Tele

Inaugurated by the Mount Vernon Ledlaa'
association to prevent the establishment of
the District of Columbia reformatory at
Relvolr, Va.. almoet at the gate of George
Washington old home.
President Taft ha become Interested In
the matte- and the aasoelation Is hope
ful he will prevent this desecration, as
they Insist It would be.
Tf President Taft does not succeed. If It
become necessary, congress will be ap
pealed to and not only all the patriotic as
sociations, but all patriotic men and women
the country over will t urged to bring
the pressure of public opinion to bear on
the official o that the district commis
sioners may he compelled to locate the re
formatory elsewhere.

They are very determined and confident.

Mlas Comegy said today: "Mt. Vernon
Is the mecca and the shrine of the union,
to which thousands of visitors come from
all over the world.
VThe regents of Mt. Vernon feel It their
paramount duty In safeguarding the place
of national Importance, to preserve It sur
rounding from desecration, and they are
determined to be faithful to the trust they
have assumed. Already the district work
house has been establlahed at Occuqan, In
the same corner of Fairfax county, and It
I considered an Injustice to locate two
penal Institutions In one community. In
close proximity to the home and tomb of
Washington."
Mr. .Mrl.ean Talk.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15. (Special Tele

project to build a reformatory near Wash

"I am fully In accordance with the sug
gestion that the patriotic women of the
country should rally to the support of
the Mount Vernon Ladles' association In
the latter's protest against the building of
a reformatory too near the sacred spot
where Washington lived and lies burled.
"While I believe It Is true that Washing
ton's memory, as an object of veneration
and emulation, cannot be brought too fre
quently before the mutual vision of all
classes of hli countrymen even the crim
inal class, where reformation is possible
yet I also believe that It Is due to the
Idealistic emotions and to the realistic work
(In the preservation of Mount Vernon a
a patriotic mecca) of the people of the
nation and visitors from foreign shores to
keep undeflled the approaches to and en
vironments of Mount Vernon.
"Liet the women of the country, individ
ually and from organised meetings thus

hope that the long slay of the empress at

temporary Improvement, but her majesty's
health failed rapidly on her return to
Russia and In court circles It Is no secret
that she is In worse condition than she
ever ha been. Her aliment seems to
be a complete nervous breakdown accom
panied by hallucinations. One of the most
frequent of these is that the little czaro
vltch Is In deadly peril. Her anxiety for
her only son Is pitiful to see. 8he Insists
on having him with her as much as pos
sible, and as her symptoms are much
aggravated when he Is out of her sight.
arrangement are made to keep the little
fellow In his mother's apartments a greater
part of the time. The csar is greatly
worried over the condition of the czarina
and is constant in his attendance upon her,
at times discarding Important work In
order to be near should the complete
collapse come. Everything possible. Is being
done for her
but It Is feared that It la
a matter of a very short time before the
end will come.

J. L Dodge Will Reach Council Bluffi
by that Time, Hence Delay in
Arrangements.
The funeral of N. F. Dodge ha been
(hanged from Monday until Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock. The delay was oc
casioned by the receipt of a telegram from
John Lockwood Dodge, hi son, who I
located at Wilson, In the Jackson Hole
country. Wyoming, station that he could
reach Coun II Bluff on Tuesday morning.
He ha to travel nearlv two hundred miles
by atage to reach the nearest railroad

during the funeral. In the absence of
Dr. O. O. Smith, pastor of the First Con
gregational church, of which Mr. Dodge
became a charter memt er nearly fifty
years ago. the services will be conducted
by Rev. James Thomson trie pastor of
the church who wan succeeded by Dr.
Smith. Dr. Thomson Is now pastor of
the First Congregational church at Hamp

yesterday. It wa the nntural wish of the
family that the Rev. O. O. Rice, the ven
erable retired clergyman who was the
founder of the church, should preach the
sermon, but Father Rtce is now in south
ern California spending the winter and 1
too far away to be able to reach here in
time. It was decided to place his name
with one or two. other close friends of Mr.
Dodge, who are away from the city,
among the list of honorary pallbearers.
The active pallbearers bave all been se
lected from the officers and employes of
the Council Bluffs Savings bank with

Goulds to Announce
Date of Daughter's
Wedding to Decies
Will Make Details of Match Between
English Lord and Miss Vivien
Known Soon.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15. (Special Telegram.)
Despite the fact that na statements have
been made by ihe family. It Is the belief
that Mr. and Mrs. Oeorge J. Gould will
officially announce the set date for the
marriage of their daughter. Miss Vivien
Gould, to Lord Decies at the dinner-dance
to be given at the Gould mansion on Fifth
avenue next Thursday. The event Is being
looked forward to as decidedly one of the
most brilliant social' functions of the sea
son. Miss Gould will then be formally
introduced.
Lord Decies, who returned to New Tork
during the week from London, la stopping
at the Waldorf-AstWlk hotel, but is a fre
quent guest at 4he. Gould home.
Lord Decies does not take favorably to
the discussion of the differences of ages
of himself and hi fiancee. Miss Gould being
twenty-seven years his Junior. He made it
plain In an Interview that he considered
that a private affair.
"Me old." he said. "It's all tommy-rot.
Why. in England a man, especially tf he
has led an outdoor life as fellows of my
sort do, Is regarded aa young at BO. Sup
pose Miss Gould Uf 17. What of ItT So
long aa Mlas Gould and Mrs. Gould are
pleased, I don't think any one else should
bother."
That It Is a love match Is borne out by
tho declaration of Lord Decies. When
asked how he had been so fortunate to
win so fair a band1,' he said: "Quite in the
ordinary way. I should Imagine. It was
my first courtship, you know. Wa met in
the ordinary manner, and I cannot recall
that there waa anything unusual about our
early conversations."
"I came over to your horse show," he
said. "I Itke horses and so does Miss
Gould. That established the bond. Then I
told her about the shows I had been to In
South Africa and In India and that in
terested her. Perhaps that aeema a little
romantic, but out of these things the
friendship grew."

WOMEN SLAYERS DISCUSSED;
Three Women Charged with Murder
for Gain in News.
MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN TALKS
i Interview on llelnoa olarldent
of Female Crime Mr. I.oaan
Defend Iter ei Moral
Standard Not Falllaa.
NEW TORK, Jan. 1.V Three women
rharged with murder apparently for rain
figure In yesterday's news.
At Wheeling. W. Va , Mrs. I.aura t
Farnsworth Schenk is on trial, charged
with trying to kill her elderly millionaire
husbnnd with poison ao that she might
have his money and freedom. In court
today Mr. Klein, a detective who had
posed a a nurse, told a graphic story of
the events thst led up to Mr. Schenk
arrest, the most startling part of which
was a reported offer of Mr. Schenk of
$1,000 to the woman detective to poison
Schenk.
In Albany, N. Y.. Mrs. Edith Melber
wa arralerned for killing her 5-year-old
son Oeorge. the police allege, because he
stood In the way of her marriage with a
man who would have been able to give
her lite comforts she desired. She has
confessed the killing, though- not the
motive, and when she was taken to Al
bany it was necessary to have a heavy
mnh
police guard to protect ner rrom a moo
of Infuriated women who had gathered
I to wreak vengeance on her.
Allelic Mra. M.irtln Insane.
At Newark, N. ,T., counsel for Mrs.
Caroline B. Martin, swelling sentence for
the murder of her daughter, Ocey Snead,
In order to. It Is a'leged, get Insurance
money, served notice of appeal to the
supreme court In an effort to have the
woman adjudged Insane. j
What Is the reason why women thus
figure so prominently In the criminal ;
newa? This question was put to Mr, j
John A. Logan. Her answer follow: I
"Does the fact that these women figure
in the day's news accused of murder for "
money Indicate a weakening of the moral j Independent miners of copper In the conn
fiber of women In general? 1 think not. nd th"r rth "d Nvda consoll-
There have always been women who have daled mln"s Produce the metal at such a
been willing to commit the most heinous
crimes for the sake of material advan
tages. There have always been men
more men than women of which the
statement Is equally true. .
"The fact that woman Is charged with
such crime aa are laid at the door of
Mrs. Schenk, Mrs. Melber and Mra. Mar
tin gives these crimes greater news value
than If similar crimes were chnrged
against man. This In Itself I evidence
that woman Is leas likely than man to
commit such crimes.
Mad Utrlvlna Is lunar.
"It Is, however, I believe, that the
mad striving for wealth and pleasure is
responsible for this class of crime on
the part of, both men and women. Mod
ern conditions of life are such that crav
ings for pleasure are created which can
only be satisfied by the possession of
money.
"There Is a striving for things which
are beyond reach and with certain tem
peraments even the awful crime of mur
der will not stand In the way of reaching
the end desired. Such temperaments,
however, are rare.
"The fact that there are ao many cases
in one day s news Is, I am sure, coinci
dental and in no way indicates that man
kind or womankind Is growing more
reckless of human life."

EASTERN EXECUTIVE FAVORS
WOMAN'S VOTE IN MESSAGE
Governor Baldwin of Connecticut
Recommends Kqoal Suffrage
and Explain Why.
HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 16. (Special
Telegram.) Governor Simon W. Baldwin,
the new executive of Connecticut, la the
first governor In an eastern state to give
official recognition to the idea of women's
vote, by recommending in his first mes
sage to the legislature the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution enfranchis
ing women In his state.
"I today discussed the question more
fully," he said. "I believe women eventually
will obtain the vote," said Governor Bald
win, "but I do not believe they will ever
take as much Interest In using It as do
men."
"You see. It is this way," exclaimed the
governor, "with conditions aa they are now
in America, a great majority of women
receive a better education tlan do the
men. The boy of middle-class parents has
to be out hunting work by the time he is
14 or at the mom IS years of age. The
girls belonging to our families of com
paratively humble means are able to stay
In school until they are 18 at leaat.
"Of course, it seems a certainty that
equal suffrage will eventually come, but I
don't believe we shall ever see the day
in which men and women are equally in
terested In politics."
"Why do you think so?" he was asked.
"Women are fundamentally, pli.iaically
and mentally different from men." an
swered the governor slowly. "They are as
high an order of beings-higher If ou like
but different.
"Cmiueatlonably the lendenclea of r omen
are towards the arte the finer things. Men
are less Imaginative, mote stolid. Then,
loo. at the tict the political game Is a
rough one. 1 don't think the ladles would
like It."
"How would women take their polities?"
he was asked.
"Most conservatively," wa the reply.
"Conservatively?" aid the Interview.
"Why not." rejoined the governor
quietly. "Women ate ty nature much
more conservative than men "

American Smelting and Refining company
and the consolidation practically undr one

cipal coriorations Involved are the Ameri

American Smelters Security company, the
American Smelters Steamship company, the

pany, the international Steam Pump com
pany and the Power and Mining Ma-
c"'"erv company.
Three companies represent an enormous
capitalization and control a large per
centage of the copper. lead and silver min
ing buainess of the country. This business
has 'grown to such an extent that It con
trols a large part of the market of the
1'nlted States In the foreign exchange due
to the heavy export and import of the
corporations owned and controlled by a t
single group of flnanclera. There has been
a rumor In Wall street for nearly a year
that the vnrloua consolidations and financ
ing conducted by the OufrRenhpim is pre
liminary to a general consolidation of the
leading copper producing Interests of thft
low Pr,CR 'nRl n"n mining companies
such as the Anaconda, have found It dif
ficult to compete with them at present
prices of copper.
More than a year ago an effoit waa made
by William E. Corey of the United States
Steel corporation to bring the conflicting
interests together, and while the plan de
signed by him for the consolidation of the
various properties was ostensibly aban
doned for the time on account of the anti
trust law, both the Amalgamated company,
which is known as "the copper trust," and
the Guggenheim interests have been merg
ing many of the subsidiaries and Wall
street believes that if the United States
supreme court's decision in the Standard
Oil and Tobacco cases 1 sufficiently con
structive to show the corporations how I
they mav merge without breaking the law, ;
a big copper consolidation will be floated ;
this spring.
People Up in Arms
Over Child Murder
Police Oet Mrs. Melber Away from
AngTy Crowd by Stopping; Train
Before Reaching Albany.
ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. 15. A rune of the
Albany police disappointed aeveral thou
sand persons who crowded the Union sta
tion and the .streets today to catch., a
glimpse of Mrs. Edith Melber, the young
Schenectady widow brought here from
Rochester to answer the charge of murder
ing her 6-year-old son George.
Stories of the woman's confession to the
Rochester police and of how she killed the
boy by pouring carbolic acid down his
throat when he asked for a drink of water
and hid his body in swamp land near the
Schenectady turnpike, had collected a
throng of such temper that the police
feared to risk taking the woman through It.
Therefore they had the express stopped
at West Albany, three miles from the cen
ter of the city, and Mrs. Melber and the
detectives who brought her from Rochester
got out there.
Thus when Mrs. . Melber reached police
headquarters In an automobile the crowd
there was comparatively small. There
were a few shouts and hoots as several
policemen hurried her Indoors, but nothing
like an organised movement.
Though pal and trembling, the woman
preserved her composure until she got In
side, then she fainted. It was several min
utes before she recovered sufficiently to be
arraigned before the coroner, who has
charge of the case at present.
