KAISER'S MARTIAL MUSTACHE IS NO MORE
WHAT IF IT SHOULD DROOP WHEN IT GROWS AGAIN?
The Emperor surprised his subjects on his last trip through central
Germany by appearing with the 'aggressively erect tips of his mustache
clipped. Cares of the war have aged the Kaiser whitened his hair, according
to one report. The etching is of a hypothetical Kaiser, such as would appear
if the famous mustache should lose its bristling nature, flagging with its
owner's spirit.
MARTIAL ENDS OF KAISER'S
MUSTACHE ARE CLIPPED
Germans Impressed by Change In
Emperor's Appearance.
LONDON, Nov. 13.
A dispatch to the Standard from Copen
hagen says:
"The Kaiser has clipped off the upstnnd
ing ends of his mustache. The stnrtllng
change In the monarch's appearance has
been observed during tho last day or two.
when the Emperor was passing through
central Germany on tho way to Inspect n
largo number of recruits completing their
military training. Tho loss of his ng
grcsslvely erect mustache robs William II
df much of his former almost ferociously
martial appearance.
"When it wns observed somo timo after
tho beginning of tho war that tho Kaher's
hair had turned white, no one paid much
attention to that change, but tho removal
of tho ends of his mustache has Impressed
tho public Imagination."

NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-Mrs. Lora M.
Wagner, of Tottenville, Staten Island,

of Education because she remained
away from her duties while her baby
was born. Intends to go back to her
work next Monday and begin teaching
again desplto her suspension.
She continued to teacli until a day be
fore the child was born.
Whllo no objection will be offered to
tho teacher-mother entering the school
building or her old classroom ns a visitor,
she will, however; be prevented from
teaching her classes. Officials of tho
board sold It would be ridiculous of her
to try such a move, in view of her sus
pension. The husband of Mrs. Wagner and her
friends, supported by members of the
board, are determined to fight "the case,
and If need be carry it to the courts.
Isadora M. Levy, a member of the
board, who Is backing tho teacher-mother
campaign, says the board will settle the
controversy by permitting Mrs, Wagner
and other teacher-mothers to return to
their school duties.
Advices from Albany state Camlssloner

of Mrs. Bridget C. Protto and other dis

UNIFORM SAFETY
LAWS ADVOCATED
BEFORE GOVERNORS
Illinois Executive Pleads for
Measures to Protect Both
Workers and Industries in
All Sections.
MADISON, Wis , Nov. 13. Governor
Edward F. Dunne, of Illinois, today made
a strong plea before the Governors' con
ference hero for co-operation botwecn the
States to securo tho' enactment of uniform
laws for the safety of workers.
Such co-operatlonl Governor Dunne
holds, Is essential for tho protection of
business nnd manufacturing In Stated
which havo enacted progressive laws
against unjust competition of business
and manufacturing In other States which
have no safety appliance laws, or fall to
properly enforco such laws as they have
enacted.
The Governor recited some of the
achievements of the department of fac
tory Inspection in Illinois.
"Since tho enactment of such laws," he
said, "tho Illinois department has com
pelled over 13,000 dangerous machinery
ports to be provided with BafeguardsIt
has enforced the construction of over
C0O0 fire-escapes and exits, and 7000 de
vices on elevators Insuring their safety.
"A progiesslvo State, which enacts hu
mane laws for the conservation of human
life and limb, and for the preservation of
the health, morals and well-being of its
laboring citizens, Is placed at a great dis
advantage ob compared with a non
progressive State, which, by Its failure
to enact such laws. Invites the manu
facturer whose only aim Is financial
profit, within Its borders, and thus en
hances tho manufacturing development in
such nonprogressive states.
"Federal legislation, under the Interstate
Commerce Act may be applied to Inter
state railroads and other interstate utili
ties, but most of the product of our
manufacturing Industries are not impress
ed with an interstate character.
"A Federal law muBt be uniform In its
application to all parts of the United
States, and a law which might me salu
tary and advisable relating to the manu
fcture of goods lu the tenement districts
of New Tork, Philadelphia and Chicago,
might be grossly unjust and unduly
onerous In Western villages and cities.
"It may be objected that the enact
ment of such uniform laws as the re
sult of conferences between commissions
representing various States is in viola
tion of the Constitution of tho United
States, which declares 'that no State
shall enter Into any treaty, alliance or
confederation.' My nnswer to this is that
no official compact or treaty between the
States Is necessary. The enactment of
uniform laws in each State, correspond
ing with the laws df a sister State, will
be the result, not of Interstate agree
ment, but Interchange of experience and
wisdom between the citizens ot such
States."

DR. ANNA H. SHAW'S
RE-ELECTION SURE,
HER ADHERENTS SAY
Test of Strength Between
Suffrage Factions Arises
Over Policy of Blacklist
ing Congressmen.
NASHVII,U3, Tenn., Nov. 13.-A test
of strength between Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw, candidate for re-election ns presi
dent of the Woman's Suffrage Associa
tion, nnd tho anti-Shaw forces will oc
cur today when tho convention votes on
whether to continue the policy of black
listing members of Congress who are on
record as opposing suffrage.
Tho Shaw contingent predicted that
tho blacklisting fight would cement tho
president's forces and Insure her re
election. It wns also predicted that tho
blacklist policy would be indorsed by a
big innjorlty and tho association definite
ly committed to active opposition to all
national legislators who fall to indorse
suffrage.
Tho recent blacklisting of Congressman
James Mnnn, of Chlcngo, wns the sub
ject which started tho debate on the
binikllst question.
"The case of Congiessmnn Mann Is a
striking example of the valuo ot the
blacklist," Mrs. Medlll McCnnnlcIc an
nounced from the floor. "Congressman
Munn has always been a strong antl-suf-f
racist. Ho Insulted women on tho floor
of Congress at tho time of tho Washing
ton parade. Ho has always stood for
reactionary mensurcs. Aftor the black
list wai published with his namo in it ha
declared himself tdv woman suffrage.
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trdut, who brought
about Cjngressman Mann's conversion to
suflrago ns well as being chiefly instru
mental In having tho Illinois suffrage law
passed, started a real debate by declar
ing: "Congressman Mann wrote to me that
hereafter he would not oppose suffrago
only after hp was Informed that tho Illi
nois association had definitely refused to
Indomo tho black list. Tho policy of the
black list will nover put men Into the
gentle frame of mind necessary to obtain
their votes for suffrage. You can't get
anything from a man when he Is angry."
CONTROVERSY WAXES WARM.
Tho controversy grew hot and furious,
and Miss Jane Addams was forced to
rap for order when the Massachusetts
anti-Shaw faction declared tho black list
had antagonized Senntor Lodge ana lost
the Massachusetts suffragists tho suffrage
plank In the Republican platform.
Tho administration slate, headed by
Doetor Shaw for the presidency, was en
nounced today. Tho Shaw forces have
stolen much strength from the Insur
gents by naming Mrs. Desha Brecken
rldge, of Lexington, Ky., the anti-Shaw
candidate for president, on their own
ticket. Mrs. Trout, who was slated for
vlco president by tho anti-Shaw forces,
announced this morning she would accept
no office.
Tho Shaw slato follows:
President, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw.
New York; first vlco president, Mrs.
Katherine Dexter McCormlck, New
York; second vlco president, Mrs. Desha
Breckenrldgc. Kentucky; third vice pres
