BELGIUM GIVES IN
TO SUERS' DEMANDS
Government Accepts Compro-
•mise Bill Against Plural
Voting-Strike to End
BRUSSELS, Belgium, April 24.—The
BRUSSELS, Belgium, April 22.—The
Belgian government is reported to be
about to accept a compromise and thus
bring to an end the political strike of
half a million workers who demand
equal suffrage. The strike has crippled
industry and commerce in Belgium for
the last ten days.
The compromise is regarded as favor
able to the workmen, nearly hal/' a miN
lion for equal suffrage.
The leaders of the oScialist trades
unions and their followers gained their
chief point, which was to make the
government take up for consideration a
change of the Belgian parliamentary
franchise with its hated system of
plural votes for the wealthier and more
educated classes.
The Chamber of deputies adopted a
resolution by M. Masson with an amend
ment moved by the premier, condemn
ing the principle of a general strike.
When the chamber of deputies met
this afternoon there was a tense feel
ing of expectancy. The conciliatory
motion of F. Masson, Liberal leader,
was taken up immediately.
Deputy Liebaert, a clerical, proposed
an additional clause reading: ‘The
chamber disapproves and condemns the
general strike.”
Premier de Broqueville accepted the
motion as amended and'ask.ed the other
members of his party not to suggest
any changes.
The Scxdalist leader. Emile Vande-
velde. then spoke, saying: “We, the
deputies on the left, support M. Mas
son’s motion for a compromise. It re
mains for us to convoke a Socialist
congress, which alone has the power
to decide whether the strike shall end
or not. but we have the conviction that j
the adoption of the motion will be a j
step in advance.”
The first part of the motion was then i
adopted unanimously by the chamber.
The Socialists ‘voted against the sec- j
ond part of the motion, but it was car
ried by the Conservatives and Liberals,
the vote standing 124 to 39. The Social
ists abstained from voting when the
two parts of the motion were taken to
gether. In that way ti was carried by
a vote of 138 to 2.
Was a Black and
Tan Republican;
Now a Democrat
(By Associated Press,)
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Ingenuity
and political influence nave failed at
least one woman employe of the federal
government.
As Assistant Secretary Williams, of
the treasury department, was about to
transfer a woman clerk to another de
partment he received a hurried telephone
call from tw6 prominent United States
senators to postpone action until they
could indorse theih constituent’s pro
test.
Personally, today they presented her
claims to recognition from the Demo
crats on the ground that she was a suf
fragist steeped in Democratic principles
for the triumph of which she had work
ed during the campaign.
Mr. Williams listened attentively and
then shoved before the senators a rumu-
lative file of papers covering the case,
including letters from this now “life
long Democrat” to officials of the pre
ceding administration in which she
sought preference on the ground that
she was a “blahk and tan Republihan.’*
She was transferred.

DR. TALKS ON FOOD
Pres, of Board of Health
“What shall I eat?” is the daily in
quiry the physician is met with. I
do not hesitate to say that in my judg
ment. a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and im
properly prepared food. My personal
experience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
“From overwork, I suffered several
y^ars with malnutrition, palpitation of*
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last sum
mer I was led to experiment person
ally with the new food, which I used
in. conjunction with good rich cow’s
mil*. In a short time after I com
menced its use, the disagreeable symp
toms disappeared, my heart’s action be
came steady -and normal, the functions
of the stomach were properly carried
out and I again slept as soundly and
as well as in my youth.
“I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that
it-has a most prominent place in a ra
tional, scientific system of feeding.
Any one who uses this food will soon
be convinced of the soundness of the
principle upon which it is manufactured
and may thereby know the facts as to
its true worth.” Name given by Pos-
tum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.

Foreigners Are Paid
Much More Than They
Deserve, Says Greene
CBv Associated Press.)
BOSTON, April 24.—Mary Konovsky's
testimony which has figured recently in
published discussions of industrial con
ditions, was the subject of the address
of President Edwin F. Green at the
opening today of the annual meeting
of the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers.
The fictitious name of Mary Konov-
sky has Been given to a Russian-Poland
girl, twenty-two years old who was em
ployed in a textile mill at Little Falls,
N. Y., at $6 a week and struck for
$6.90.
t“The testimony of Mary Konovsky
(before th© commisioner of arbitration)
has been published throughout the coun
try,” said Mr. Green.
“In consequence thousands of kind-
hearted people have grieved over the
pitiable condition of this poor Poland.
Mary Konovsky stands before the com
mission. She is a poor human creature,
born and bred in poverty and misery,
uneducated, untrained, stolid, stupid, but
possessed of an immortal soul and eager
for the betterment of her condition. She
wants $6.90 a week and will be satisfied
with that amount. Her former employ
er, a manufacturer, who has a large
factory representing an investment ex
ceeding $1,000,000 who is the agent of
the stockholders of his .company, all of
whom demand that he run this factory
at a profit, says outspokenly:
“ ‘I will pay Mary Konovsky $6 a
week and this is more than she is
worth. She has no industrial training.
I want trained, educated girls, if I can
get them.’
“You have heard the despised em
ployer. kind ladies $nd gentlemen. The
services of Mary Konovsky are for sale.
He bids $6 a week. What will you bid?
You, mistress housewife, with tender
eyes, will you pay more than $6 a
week ?
“ ‘No,* you say. ‘She cannot speak
English. She knows nothing of the
mechanism of a modern kitchen, I
don’t want her.’
“You, Mr. Storekeeper, what will you
give? You could not use her services.
She is unprepossessing and uncouth.
“All the rest of you, doctors, lawyers,
clergymen, politicians, editors, what will
you bid for the services of Mary Konov
sky?
“She wants only $6.90 a week. For
God’s sake, gentlemen, don't let the
cruel mill get her again. Take her into
your homes, into your offices, into your
studies, give her a chance in the world.
You all cry together, ‘we don’t want
her. We have no use for her, but make
that mill pay her a living wage.’
“The cotton mills and woolen mills
in this country are the training schools
for hundreds of thousands of work peo
ple, transforming them from ignorant
and clumsy foreigners into skilled, self-
respecting, educated Americans.”
Mr. Green said that the business of
the cotton mills, on the whole, was
poor.

Also Many Unpaid
Bills But No Money
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
VALDOSTA, Ga., April 24,—-'Though
V. B. Wilson the prKner who threatened
to commit suicide and who wrote a note
stating that his body would be found
out by the V. *M. and W. trestle, has
not been heard from his friends do
not believe that he committed suicide,
but they think that he has gone off to
some other ctiy to find work.
It is said that he left a good many
small bills around the city and one or
two unhonored drafts, one of them
having teen drawn on the Exchange
Bank of Tifton, though there is no
such bank. The check was made pay
able to Wilson, but it is believed that
he wrote it himself. Efforts to locate
him out near the river where he said
his body would be found, have proven
futile.

PUERTO CORTEZ, Honduras, April
16.—By Mail to New Orleans.)—A seri
ous clash between the military and
judicial authorities and bitter indigna
tion among tlie foreign residents of this
section of Honduras have resulted from
the action of the judge of letters in
imposing a sentence of three years ii*
the common jail upon Mrs. George
Lefebvre, wife of a respectable French
merchant, who accidentally killed a
young mafn named Milliett a yeay ago.
General Lee Christmas, the Afneiican
who is military commandante of the
Puerto Cortes district, has -declined to
carry out the judge's order to piace
Mrs. Lefebvre in the common jail, where
male criminals and women of ill repute
only are confined. General Christmas
has permitted Mrs, Lefebvre to remain
in her home, on his own responsibility,
until President Bertrand has had an
opportunity to pass upon protests which
have been filed by the foreign colony.
The judge is furious about the action
of General Christmas and it is feared
the talk of revenge which has come
from some of his friends may result
in an open outbreak.
Insanity Causes
More Vice Than
”Living Wages"
(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, April 24.—Many of the
“working girls who fall” and at least
50 per cent of the men and women
sentenced to prison or other criminal
institutions are feeble minded according
to Dr. W. E. Fernald, superintendent
of the state hospital for the feeble
minded at Waverly who addressed a
meeting at the City club last night.
Dr. Fernald said only 2,000 of the 12.-
000 feeble minded persons in Massachu
setts are under restraint. “Unless the
state extends its system of restraint
and segregation to these afflicted per
sons, the increase of criminals and the
girls who fall will be appalling,” he
declared.
“Investigations by the vice commis
sions show that from 25 to 40 per cent
of the girls who fail to protect them
selves are feeble minded. It is really
not so much a question of low wages,
the committee found, as it is that the
girls have no resistance power.”

WASHINGTON, April 24.—Senator
Chamberlain's resolution for the abro
gation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, in
the opinion of state department of
ficials, will be confronted with the con
tention that neither that treaty nor the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty can be abrogated
by the action of the United States with
out the consent of Great Britain.
These treaties, the officials point out.
are in the nature of rival contracts and
where one party, the United States for
instance, has acquired a valuable con
sideration finder their terms, it cannot
escape the liability without the full con
sent of tlie second party.
Diplomatically and according to the
verbiage of international law, the status
of the United States, they hold, is one
of “national servitude.”
Legal officers of the government seem
to be of the opinion that nothing can
be done by the president or congwess
toward terminating the treaties except
by the consent g of Great Britain or un
der the terms o'f an arbitration.

Big Mob in Mexico
Drives an American
Miner Across Border
(By Associated Press.)
DOUGLAS, Ariz., April 24.—J.S.DouSr
Ias, of the Cananea Consolidate Copper
company, who was ordered by a mob
yesterday to leave Cananea, arrived here
late last night and reiated his experi
ence.
Trouble had been brewing for a week,
he said, owing to the company’s shut
ting down more than half its works be
cause of lack of fuel. Many of the 2,000
men thrown out of employment had been
given odd jobs and supplies but that did
not appease the maority.
Early yesterday, he continued, a crowd
of 2,500 persons surrounded his office
and sent a delegation of four, accompa
nied by Colonel Alvarado, of the state
troops, and Prefect Durazo, to him with
four demands.
“They declared must immediately ap
point a successor as general manager of
the company; they said I must leave Ca
nanea at once as under article 33 of the
Mexican constitution I had been adjudg
ed by the people, a pernicious character,
that Governor Pasquiero would arrive
Tuesday with the demand that the mines
be reopened and all idle men put to work
and that if the company did not imme
diately operate the mines they would see
that another company did.”
Douglas said Colonel Alvarado had
only 200 soldiers there and was unable to
control the situation. “He advised me to
leave as did officials of the company, so
I closed up my business as well as 1
could and left a few hours later. I don’t
know what the company will do.”

ECZEMA CAN BE CURED TO STAY, and
when I say cured, I mean just what I say—
C-U-K-E-D, and not merely patched up for
awhile, to return worse than before. Remember,
I make tnis broad statement after putting
twelve years of my time on this one disease and
handling in the meantime nearly half a million
cases of this dreadful disease. Now, I do not
care what all you hate used, nor how many
doctors have told you that you could not be
cured—all I ask is just a chance to show you
that I know what I am talking about. If you
will write me TODAY, I will send you a FREE
TRIAL of my mild, soothing, guaranteed treat
ment that will convince you more in a day than
I or anyone else could lu a niontuS? time. If you
are disgusted and discouraged, just give me a
chance to prove my claims. By writing me today
I believe you will enjoy more real comfort than
you had ever thought this world holds for you.
Just try it and you will see I am telling you
the truth.

CHRISTIAN NAMED JUDGE
OF NASHVILLE COURT
NASHVILLE, Ga., April 24.—Col. C.

of the city court to succeed Judge W. D.
Buie. #
Judge Buie’s. resignation will take ef

The ultimate fate of Dr. W4 J. Me-
Naughton, the Swainsboro physician,
who Is now in the Chatham county jail
under sentence to be hanged for the
murder of Fred Flanders, will be in
the hands of Governor-elect John M.
Slaton.
Governor Brown has definitely decid
ed that he will send this case over to
his successor, who assumes office in
June. Although Governor Brown does
not, it is said, wish to shirk responsi
bility in this case, he reasons that he
cannot consistently make a final dis
position of it until after Mrs. Flanders,
who was jointly indicted with Dr. Mc-
Xaughton for the poisoifing of her hus
band, is put on trial. Therefore he will
not, as has been generally supposed,
commute Dr. McNaughton's sentence to
life imprisonment.
