r*portant Reform.
Journal Special Service.
New York, Mav 7.Unless somo
other citv beats her to the wire there
will redound "to the everlasting
glory" of Bavonue, N. J., the credit
of organizing the first force of paid
and uniformed policewomen. Mrs. Julia
Goldzire is the originator of the plan.
It will be put up to Mayor Pierce Gar
vin and the citv council this week
when petitions will be presented to
them.
"Policewomen are bound to become
an institution in the whole civilized
world," says Mrs. Goldzire. A little
thought on the subject will disclose its
possibilities of development."
Mayor Garvin says he is not opposed,
but he is uncertain whether Bayonne
wouldi applaud the spectacle of a dele"
gation of "lady cops" putting the lau
rel wreath on his brow.
Drinkers Her Prey.
Mrs. Goldzire talked freelv of her
plans today. Drinking, smoking and
spitting men" inspired Mrs. Goldzire
with the idea. Iter observations of
municipal problems have taught her that
Bayonne policemen are powerless to
cope with the growing evils of Jersey
applejack, clay pipes and tar heel plug.
Mrs. Goldzire is convinced that much
will depend on the impression Bavonne
receives when the women policemen ap
pear. The uniform is therefore of vital
importance.
"It will be natty but not gaudy,"
Mrs. Goldzire says. "The helmet must
be becoming, because even a police
woman would be absurd in a red hat.
There will be no ostrich plumes or rib
bons, of course, but a trim helmet with
a star for ornament will become any
face. The greatcoat^ cut full, will
reach iust below the knees.'*
Favors Divided Skirt.
I am convinced the divided skirt
will be most sensible. The policewoman
will have to climb fences and cover
ground quickly the prosecution of
constabulary duty and her uniform
must not encumber her. She will wear
boots right to the knee, much like rid
ing boots, and will carry a small but
serviceable club. Brass buttons will
be used on the uniform."
"Will there be any lestrictions per
taining to the shoulders, waist line or
general contour of the figure?" she was
asked.
I infer that you refev to the corset
question," said Mrs. Goldzire severely.
I have described all of the uniform
that will be visible to the citizens of
Bayonne.''
HAY AND FIELD IN
A LONG-LIFE WAGER
Journal Special Service.
St. Louis, May 7.Captain U. W.
Brolaski, the veteran steamboat man,
who made a wager against John Hay,
Marshall Field and Corwin H. Spencer,
has won. The details of one of the
most remarkable bets on record were
learned two days after the demise of
Corwin H. Spencer*
It was made at a private dinner party
on board the little steamer Corwm H.
Spencer, May 27, 1904, where the quar
tet spent an evening on the river near
St. Louis. I was the occasion of the
last visit of John Ha and Marshall
Field to this citv.
Captain Brolaski is the oldest and
the voungest man at the table," said
Corwin H. Spencer, when the subject of
ages came up for discussion.
|'I'm 68," interposed Captain Brola
ski, "and I'll bet I live longer than
anv gentleman present."
At this time John Ha was 67 years
old. Marshall Field was 65 and Cor
win H. Spencer 53.
|'I'm goad for twenty years more,"
said John Hay, laughing.
"And I expect to reach the age of
100." added Marshall Feld.
''It is a bet then," retorted
a Ptain
Brolaski. "Without venturing any
money, I '11 be living when yotf three are
dead and buried."
There was a general laugh and the
distinguished guests turned to another
topic.
John Ha died at Newberry, N". H.,
July 16 of last year, aged 68 years,
Marshall Field died in New York Jan
15 of this year at the age of 67 and Cor
win H. Spencer was buried'in St. Louis

""BACK RAT E BILL
Seeing Loss of Thunder
^:,in Allison Amendment, zz
May Rebel.
r-
By W.'W. Jermnne.
1
Washington, May 7,It may not
eventuate, but there is some possibility
that the getting together of the repub
licans of the senate in support of the
vAlhson court review amendment may
drive the democrats into opposition and
thus prolong the rate bill debate almost
indefinitely.
The democrats have been following
the debate with complacency, because
they thought they saw an opportunity
for political advantage. Their support
seemed necessary tor carrying out the
president's policy, and so they were
figuring, to reap a good deal of benefit.
AH their hopes, however, haye been
upset by the getting together of the
republicans on the Allison proposition
and from the tnutterings that are to be
heard on tlie democratic side of the
chamber, one is almost justified in be
lieving that the democrats are to invoke
the power they unquestionably possess
and carry the debate forward, hoping
thereby to find an opening for a recov
ery of the ground they have lost.
The unanimoua consent under which
amendments are now being considered
under the fifteen-minute rule, was made
in rather an indefinite way, and it is
said today that some doubt exists as
to whether that agreement can actu
ally be held to be binding for longer
than one daylast Friday. This is
the question raised this morning by
Senator Olapp of Minnesota, who sees
the danger or the democrats becoming
obstreperous.
Even under the fifteen-minute rule,
debate can be practically without limit.
By offering an amendment changing one
word in any pending amendment to the
bill, every member of the senate would
have ft right to talk fifteen minutes
more, and this done with about seventy
five amendments, would stretch the de
bate out to great length. Whether this
is to happen or not, cannot yet be de
termined, but the fact that there is
danger of it should be known to all
who have been following the rate ques
tion
Senator Bailey is disappointed in not
bem? able to divide the republicans
and make his party a controlling factor
in shaping and enacting the legislation.
Senator TiUman shares this disappoint
ment, but has not been as skilful in
disguising it as Bailey,

Mother Kills Sleeping Woman
and Then Takes Own
Life.
New York, May 7.Mrs. Mary Water
entered the room of her home in West
Seventy-sixth street, where her two
daughters, Agatha and Ruth lay sleep
ing early today, and shot and killed
Agatha, the eldest and her favorite, and
without attempting to harm Ruth, then
killed herself. Temporary insanity
due to worry over the daughter's ill
health, is assigned as the reason.
Mrs. Water was the wife of John R.
Water, an insurance broker, and was 52
years old. Agatha was 26 and Ruth is
17.
The mother who has been melancholy
for a long period, had grieved over the
thought that Agatha, who was her al
most constant companion, expected to
sail for Europe^ next Saturday in the
hope of recovering her health. During
Sunday the mother had displayed no
symptoms of mental disturbance, but
had spent a portion of the day in plan
ning the trip which Agatha was to have
in Europe.
About 2 o'clock this morning Mrs.
Water entered the room occupied by
the two girls, and placing the revolver
at the temple of her daughter fired,
killing her instantly. She then left the
room.
As she descended the stairs she sent
a bullet into her own head. She died
almost instantly, her body falling at the
feet of her husband, who had been
awakened at the first shot and was hur
rying forward to ascertain the cause of
it. GOSTS AW $150,000

Eolitical
Norwegians. --i
By S. C. Hammer.
Oorgafpondenca of Tha Journal.
(Jhristiania, Norway, April 22.Sel
d.om. if ever, within the compass ot a
single week has Norway sustained a
greater loss than that which befell her
in the first week of April. On the first
day Johannes Steen, the old liberal
leader, passed away at the ripe age of
79. On April 6 Alexander Kjefiand,
whose splendid works will live forever,
died suddenly, 57 years old. Mr.
Steen's death took place at Vosse
vangen, near Bergen, where he lived at
the house of his son-in law. Mr. Kjell
and died at Bergen, far away from his
dear ones, at the public infirmary,
wrere ho had intended to undergo an
operation. On the day before his
death he was among the spectators who
thronged the streets of Bergen to see
the procession which Conducted Mr.
Steen's remains to the steamboat pier.
On the following morning Mr. Kjelland
himself was found dead in his bed, *and
today, simultaneously with Mr. Steen's
imposing funeral in Christiania Mr.
Kjelland's remains will be brought
from the Bergen steamboat pier to
Stavanger to be interred in the Kjer
land family vault in his native town.
In Norway, where politics and liter
ature are interwoven in a manner
rarely found elsewhere, the decease of
two leaders like Steen and Kjelland
calls forth interesting reminiscences.
It is easy to follow the current of his
tory thru their life work, notwithstand
ing their different fields, personal quali
ties which left no room for comparison.
Become Democrats*
Born in Christiania in 1827, Mr. Steen
was a voung man of 22 with a record as
a ski sportsman, and a Latin scholar
when Mr, Kjelland was born in 1849.
Ten vears later, when Kjelland as a
schoolboy underwent the Latin training
which he has described%o painfully and
vividly in his famous novel "Poison,
Mr. Steen entered the storthing as a
member for Trotnsoe. The death of
King Oscar 1, father of the king de
throned last summer, brought about a
change which had lon been in prepara
tion, and within a short time the peace
which was the characteristic feature of
the reign of the first Oscar was follov.ed
by one of the sharpest conflicts in the
historv of the union. In this conflict
Mr. Steen took has stand on the left
wing under the leadership of Johan
S\erdrup, the famous liberal chief,
whose political genius is unsur
passed in this country up to the
present date, a'rid for twenty
vears he co-operated"with him in all the
important questions i of national and
democratic interest which covers that
stormy period of our recent history.
In this period Mr. Kjelland grew to
manhood. Apparently unaffected by
the turbulent contest about him, Mr.
Kjelland's keen intellect pierced thru
the surface of things and a deep dis-
gtiBt at the conventional and official
humbug about him filled his mind and
made his heart beat in sympathy for
the very democracy for which Mr.
Steen and the liberals were toiling.
Kjelland's Fame Grows.
In 1879 the last phase ,oponed in the
struggle^ between the liberals and the
crown. was a struggle of life and
death and onth outcome depended the
fate of Norway for years. In this con
flict the versatile genius of John Sver
drup was supported by the unflinching
steadfastness of Mr.' Steen. "In the
same year Kjelland made his

CIGARMAKERS STRIKE.
Boston, May 7.A strike of union cigar
makers of this city was started here to
day. It is estimated that about 1,200 men
are out in an effort to force an increase
in wages.
ap
pearance in literature, and within the
next five years down to the famous de
feat of the government in 1884, Kjel
land's literary star was constantly ris
ing. He was writing with a whip, as
it were, and its lash smarted to The
quick. Like an elegant frondeur with
a pointed rapier, sudden and unsparing
in his attacks, Mr. Kjelland entered the
ranks at the head or which Mr. Steen
was fighting in his heavy armature of
unimpeachable honesty, untiring work,
and broad mass of knowledge, and his
share in the result, tho not yet meted
out by history, will not be disputed by
any one familiar with that period.
The result of the, liberal victory, how
ever, did not come up to the expecta
tions. At the formation of Mr, Sver
drup 's administration, Steen was not
called upon to become a member, a
mistake which soon proved to
of grave consequence. No one had
to suffer more for this mistake than Mr.
Kjelland himself. During the reaction
in* the later half of the 80s, Mr. Kjel

pension"a yearly gift of honor of
about $420 granted to Ibsen, Bjornson
and Lie. No one denied that he wyj a
splendid author, but his "views" of
fended the reactionaries and clerics.
He took his revenge in a novel which
always will stand as a document not
only' of literary, but of historical and
cultural importance, But his work was
done, and in 1891, the same year in
which Mr. Steen finally was called on
to form a second liberal administration
in Norway, Mr. Kjelland wrote his last
novel. As he had first appeared in
literature a perfect artist, he laid
down hia pen at the height of his fame,
when he understood that he had no
more to say to his countrymen and was
appointed a burgomaster in his native
town under Mr. Steen *s first adminis
tration. During his second adminis
tration at the turn of the eentuTy, Mr.
Kjelland becameofprovinciall

Steen a Teacher.
Mr. Steen was a teacher born and
bred, and thru his long life he was in
structing his people in the difficult les
son of true democratism and unselfish
patriotism. Mr. Kjelland appeared
among us ad a revelation, perfectr ele
gant and sarcastic 'and disappeared
with the same suddennewv as a meteor
in the night. But his, task as a teacher
is no more obvious than that of Mr.
Steen. A*& sworn enemy of reaction
and humbug in any form, hej too, was a
noble champion for the cause espoused
by Mr. Steen and Norway will forever
cherish their memories.

Journal Special Service,
Hackensack, N. J., May 7.Mrs.
Anna Valentina, condemned to die on
the gallows in the county jail here on
Friday morning, Mav 27, haa made her
last affidavit and her attornev firmly
believes that it will at least save her
life. The lawver and the condemned
women were together in the jail for
nearly three hours and carefully re
viewed the ease with tho aid of an in
terpreter.
"The affidavit in craestion/' said
Lawyer Hussey, "will show that Mrs.
Valentina had a strong provocation for
killing Mrs. Rosa Saiga at Lodi in
March, 1904, While it was not shown
at the trial, we will show'to the board
of pardons that Mrs. Salsa was gufltv
of improper relations with Michaele
Carlue, Mrs. Valentina's commonlaw
husband. The condemned woman caught
the couple together in her TOom three
times. Even after Carlucci discarded
Mrs. Valentina she went back and
leade him. Then came the
Rosa Salza and the challenge
from the window. Mrs. Valentina told
me with her hand on the crucifix that
she did not enter the Salza home with
a knife."
Despite the hope expressed by her
lawyer, Mrs. Valentina ^aid she fully
expects to be hanged. She is religious
ly prepared for the end.
