Notwithstanding the $10,000 salary offered

things, the most deplorable are these
so-called fads of society women, extreme
in their tendencies, that cause a continual
longing and striving to reach by people
who cannot afford It. This trait is very
often the downfall of many individuals,
especially women."
Mrs. Clark, tall enough to be graceful,
arid of Commanding appearance, Is one of
the most charming matrons at the nation's
capital.
"Women In the puhllo eye." nhe con
tinued, "who are continually looked upon
aa examples, should strive to radiate an
atmosphere of simplicity pnd good that
will tend to create the same substance In
the people who desire to emulate or copy
them. Some of the extreme fashions thus
set in vogue arc ridiculous Tt Is much
more beautiful to be one s self."
An Advocate of Cnpld.
Mrs. Clark believes In encouraging Dan
Cupid, for. she snys. if she could have her
way, every woman In America would have
a husband and a home of her own.
"Primarily," said Mrs. Clark, "American
women are more appreciative and grasp
opportunities more readily than any other
women In the world, no matter where they
are. But, In my judgment, Women should
have the opportunity to be queen of the
home, first of all. All right thinking wo
men must agree with this view.
"Now, I do not mean to say that we
must Judge the army of women who work
accordingly, because their lives need dif
ferent treatment, which resolves itself Into
a matter of environment."
"Then you do- not believe In equal suf
frage?" It was suggested.
"Oh. yea," she answered, "I believe In
suffrage this, far: I think women should
vote If they want to, and If fitted for cer
tain political placea all right; no one can
be the Judge, it is a matter for the Indi
vidual. But that woman waa Intended as
a helpmate for man goes without saying,
and especially should women endeavor to
be the helpmate of t'le American man. '
Talks of the American Man.
"I think American men are the strongest
and best. Why, they nearly kill themselves
In work, and women should do everything
to make their burdens lighter. The man
In the office, the mill. In tact, everywhere,
works harder than the man of any other
nation."
Mrs. Clark Is of a domestlo nature and
takes great pride that she can bak a
prise loaf and darn broken garment.
She continued: "I am very proud of the
fact that once I took th prize for baking
th best loaf of bread at a Pike county,
Missouri, fair, and also one for darning.
and I think labor not undignified for any
of tha first ladles of the land at any time.
The word 'servant' haa been much abused,
Ita arly meaning 'to erve being beauti
ful, and certainly there 1 nothing - better
than to do something for somebody.
"I think a womai can Jielp lit Amity way
and, beat of all, let m reiterate, she
should be a helpmate for her husband If
he would reap the' rewards. My 'husband
bas helped roe a much aa I have helped
him. But know this.'.' with still more spirit.
"I do not believe in helping him to the ex
tent of being a doormat."
Mr. Clark believe mutual sympathy
and companionship adds to making the
home leBS liable to disagreement between
husband and wife.
"If more women," said Mrs. Clark, "were
ready to accompany their husbands, w
would have less marital troubles, and the
world would be a better place to. live In,
for, after all, compatablllty is only possi
ble where there is mutual merest."

upon which a great many members of
both houses consider themselves promised
and since there is a bill up in each house
several more fights can be expected. It
Is the general opinion now that the bill
will not get through both house.
Tha most Important matter left for the
majority to settlela the legislative redis
ricting of the state. Several bills for
this reapportionment work have appeared,
but none ot them have been acted upon.
Th fight upon the question cannot be

Flirt with Women
and Then Rob Them
Sheppard and Gilmore Work Scheme
that Bring Them to Grief in
New York.
NEW . ..K, March 6. (Special Tele
gramsCharged with victimizing fashion
able women by flirting with them and then
robbing them of their Jewels, Harry II.
Sheppard and John Gilmore were ar
raigned In the Jefferson market police
court today. Two well dressed women ap
peared as complainants against them. One
was Miss Clare Plant and the other Miss
Nellie Sinclair.
Sheppard waa held for general sessions
In bonds of $1,000 and Gilmore, against
whom there were two charges of larceny
was held In $2,000. Sheppard Is well known
to the police. He has served time on Black
well' Island and his picture Is Nn the
rogues' gallery.
According to the police, Sheppard and
Gilmore frequented fashionable restaurants
In Broadway and Fifth avenue. They
dressed In Immaculate suits and Sheppard
represented himself as an Englishman. The
men would keep a lookout for women with
out escorts, and then, under the pretense
of picking up a napkin or doing some
little service would manage to start a
conversation. Sheppard Is a fine-looking
fellow and so is Gilmore. By calling them
selves stock brokers and making a lavish
display of supposed opulence the men ap
parently never had trouble In making
acquaintances among women. They always
picked out the ones with plenty of Jewelry.
The police say that after striking up an
acquaintance Sheppard and Gilmore would
have a paste duplicate made of one par
ticular ring worn by their victim. Then,
at another meeting, one of them would ad
mire the ring and ask tho woman to let
him Inspect It. After the inspection the
woman would receive the paste one In
place of the real one, the officers say.
More than fifteen women of fashion have
complained to the detective bureau that
they have been robbed in this way.

In the banking business In New York and I
that he has turned over to District At- j
tortity Wiiitlman books and document!
implicating many men who stand hlah in
fin mcial affairs. ;
Unlike Charles W. Morse, Robin, It is I

determined to lighten his own punishment j
b implicating others. I
Mr. W'hittman Is known to have been

Joseph 11. Robin, who has pleaded guilty to
imlb tnient of larceny of $:'7,000 from the
Washington Savings bank, and hi sister,

ference with District Attorney Clark.
Robin before leaving to walk over to the
district attorney's office this morning, sent
word to an Inoulrer that he expected to
be busy with Mr. Clark all day.
That Robin has been of valuable as
sistance to the stale was Indicated by his
confident attitude, as to the final dis
position of the additional Indictments which
are still pending against him. Already the
district attorney ha announced that the
Indictment for perjury against Robin
sister will ba dismissed. As the basis upon
which Robin pleaded guilty was to save
the county the expense ot a trial. It will
have to recommend that the additional In
dictments be dismissed.
It was learned today that an Important
witness needed to testify Is out of the
state. This witness Is expected to return
not later than Monday. In event he does
not return by then It Is understood Mr.
Whlttman will act Independently. The dis
trict attorney Is determined to let no per
son guilty of wrongdoing escape from
punishment.
The Investigation by Mr. Whlttman into
the methods of high finance, which resulted
in the crash of two banks and a trust com
pany has been most thorough. For more
than a month Assistant District Attorney
Clark has been In the possession of the
books of the Carnegie company.
Examiners of the state banking depart
ment have been called upon for additional
evidence and both state and United States
bank examiner have been In consultation
with the district attorney.
Before the district attorney haa completed
his probe, it Is expected that many in
dictments will be found.

Federal Office Does Heavy Business
at Salt Lake City as Besult
of Exhibit.
'SALT LAKE CITY, March 5. (Special
Telegram.) As a direct result of th land
show held In Omaha recently and through
literature distributed In Nebraska the local
United States land office report exceed
ingly heavy business. The report for Feb
ruary as Just completed shows the amount
of government land taken In Utah during
the month to have been 60 per cent greater
than the amount taken in any one month
before in the history of the state.
Fully a third of the homesteaders were
from Nebraska and many from Omaha.
The land taken consist principally of land
designated under the enlarged homestead
act of February 19, 19e9, which- grants to
the homesteader 820 acres of semi-arid
land and does not require residence. This
means that the Nebraska homesteaders
will hold their Utah lands and reside still
in Nebraska.
The outlook Is that the coming sprmg
months will be the greatest In history In
point of bualneas for the land office.
The Commercial club attributes the land
rush to th successful advertising at
Omaha.
