A GOOD TIME FOR
THE NAVAL MILITIA
Washington, D, C., Feb. 7.
The Navy department is consid
ering plans to attach the naval
militia to tlie fleet which will
make the initial trip through the
Panama canal. The naval mil
itia on the Atlantic const will go
(trough the big ditch in their own
ships, while the Great Lakes or
ganizations will form part of the
crews of the Atlantic reserve
licet.
This information has been
communicated unofficially to of
ficers of the National Naval Mil
itia association, so that the na
val militia shall have sufficient
t imc to arrange for the trip. As
in the mobilization last October,
the naval militia will be enlist
ed temporarily in the regular
army and will be discharged at
(lie conclusion of the cruise.
While the program for the
trip has not yet been determined,
if is probable that the fleet will
sail from New York down the At
lantic coast, proceeding to San
Francisco after going through
the canal. At San Francisco a
grand review and sufficient shore
leave to give officers and crews
an opportunity to see the expo
sition grounds will be the features
•>f the expedition.

family here, is being held in the
city jail on the charge of forg
ery. In the girl's effects was
found an elaborate outlay of col
ored inks and pens and it is the
belief of the police that she used
this outfit to conduct spurious
check operations on a large scale,
she appears to be about 18 years
old.

TO PAY HEAD TAX "MtAKEl
HER BLOOD BOIL ’
New York, Feb. 7.--The suf
fragists have a new grievance to
use in their demand for “votes
for women.” Mrs. Harriet Stan
ton Blatch, one of their promi
nent leaders, had to pay Si as a
head lax when she arrived on a
steamer from the Bahamas yes
terday because her husband, who
accompanied her, is an English
man and the United States, there
fore looks upon her as an alien.
“II makes my blood boil,” she
said. “1 was married before this
law became effective and I have
('never before been asked to pay
the tax.” Her husband cheerful
ly handed over the money.
Mrs. Blatch was greeted by
scores of suffragists who had fit
ted out a tug with their banners
and who sailed with her on a
triumphant tour around the bat
tery, up the Hudson river, oppo
site her home. On board the
boat the suffragists held a birth
day party in her honor.
