FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES CAUSED HEATH . .New York, August |g —Bgl|cp leaned toward the theory of saieide by poison as an explanation of the mysterious death of John Sutphen, private secretary, whose bdoy was found Sunday on a couch in his lux urious apartment. Financial rever ses and failing health, his physician j had cautioned him against, further drinking, formed the basis of this j j CARRIER PIGEON SEEKING REPUGE ON ■ LINER BRINGS LUCK TO PASSENGI 3R8 VIS \ s. S. PRESIDENT GARFIELD New York, August 30.—Since the •days of Noah the pigeon has been universally considered a bird of good omen. After the pigeon’s first cousin the dove, was released frojh 'the Ark during the latter days of the flood, and came back with the olive branch indicating that land was nearfiy, these birds have been regarded as emblems of hope.~ The legends of practically every ace in the world are full of some reference to pigeons, bolstering up o i his belief in their qualities as ■:cod luck bearers. So strong is this superstition imprinted in the minds of men that in various of the leading cities of the world flocks of pigeons eat and strut about public squares unmolested. Passengers on the S. S. President Garfield of the United States Lines a few weeks ago were given a prac tical demonstration of the good luck bringing qualities of the pigeon. Bound from London to New York, the President Garfield was about 1, 200 miles off the English coast when a carrier pigeon which had been hov ering over the vessel, became ex hausted and dropped into the lap of a woman passenger who was sitting on the boat deck. The woman, Mrs. Edith Sneooks, of London, examined the exhausted bird -and found on the tag attached to one of its legs the identifjoqtion mark “K, 22, Norfolk, England.” Ac cording to officers on the President Garfield this is the insignia of pig eons used in the British Army car rier service and it is believed that the bird released during the training season had in some way gotten off its course and started across the At lantic, keeping up its flying until ex hausted when it had chosen the Unit ed States liner as a landing place. Tjj*.. President Garfield’s carpeb tefeirftda. a handsome' Wicker 'Cage for the pigeon which under treat ment by the ships butcher, official steward to birds and animals aboard speedily recovered it sstrenpth. The arrival on board pf the pigeon reviv ed stories of the good luck these birds are supposed to bring, both among the passengers and crew, and until the President Garfield reached her pier in Mew York it looked,, how ever, ps if this particular pigeon was not running true to form, as a bringer of luck for the immigration officials told Mrs. Sneooks who is not an Ameridan citizen that as the British quota for the pionth had been filled she could not land. Though not exactly blaming, this misfortune on the carrier pigeon Mrs, Sneooks was not at all pleased at the prospect of havinp to return to England without seeinp her brother, a resident of Fort Wayne, Ind. Not knowing hoW she could enter the country after the British quota was eioce-^J Mrs. Sneooks decided she would have to return to England. It wa sthen that the pigeon starred again in its good work. Newspape, men, keen on the sceqt of an unus ual story, the newspaper men learn ed from the Englishwoman that the immigration officials had told her she could not land. She had only In tended to visit her brother for awhile This put an entirely different face on the situation fo ras avisitor Mrs. Sneooks could come in though thq juota was filled, while she cquld not iome in as a permanent resident.

BRITISH WOMEN READY TO FIGHT FOR RIGHTS London, August 30 C45)—That wo men have been deliberately hoaxed by men lawmakers is the deepening suspicion of feminists leaders in England. So strong is the feeling that a deputation representing the principal organizations of women throughout the country is to wait -.pon the Home Secretary to urge amendment of the Sex Disqualifica tion Act. ■ In the opening sentence of the act it is laid down that a person shall not be disqualified by sex or mar riage from the exercise of any pub lic function. It is now clear, say the feminists, that whenever it is chal lenged the act fails to secure sex equality. Its chief effect has been to enable women to sit on juries which rightly or wrongly, is rega&ed by most English people as a penalty rather than a privilege of equal citi zenship. Further, women have been admitted as laweyrs but this is be cause the legal societies have accept ed the spirit of the act and have not tft-nflwUepg*-' ite. t • from these points the act, according ;o its, women critics has signally failed in some vital particulars. ... The act does not give women e<j -ality of opportunity in the Civil 'ervioe and it does not safeguard he position of women public ser ants, as exemplified in the differ entiation between men and women oolice whe nthe plea of economy be* ng necessary, most of the latter wbs ]ismissed. It does not secure women ’.iblic servants from dismissal on ec .unt of miariage. It does not se "ire admission for women to the un iversities on equal terms with men, md it does not permit vor:en. oth erwise qualified, to sit in t is house of Lords.
