TRAPEZIST PLUNGES FROM

DETROIT, Feb 6.—Mrs. Katherine Sclt, 36 years old, a trapeze perfor- mer plunged to her death here this afternoon when she slipped ii-om her husband's grasp during the initial performance of the annual Shrine Circus at the State Fair Coliseum. The tragedy occurred before an audience of more than 10,000 child- ren and old people from various homes in the Detroit area, who attended the performance as guests oi’ the Shriners.

The husband, Cari solt, was hunt ing from s trapeze by his knees. He had been holding Mrs. Soit by the hands and whirled her in the air, catching her feet. When he at- tempted a second whirl, to catch her ‘by the hands again, their hands touched, but not long enough for either to obtain a grip.

. The woman fell. striking the heavy net with the back ‘of her head and shoulders, fracturing her skull and breaking her neck. She died five minutes later.

Few in thin big coiiseum know In accident had occurred, and none except those who carried Mrs. Bolt out reclined how serious the fall had been.

Bolt, who vergcd on ooiiwlfl l"!!! the death of his wife, told in a sobb- ing voice how this season was to be the inst in the ring for himself and ma. Bolt. They were to have retired spending the rsst of their lives on c modci form near Denver, Ind, their homo town. The farm is bought and paid for.

S., The Sec'y of Stewards reported. the foli- iowing figures-for local expenses iincluding Missionary and mainten- ance fund $1090.57 and for all church ‘purposes $1384.17. Showing a surplus on the years work.‘ The stewards and all officials of the church were high- ly spoken of for their faithful work during the year and were all re-elect cd to office.

gllessing"'bids fair to express the at- ticue of the feminists in their rela- tions vvith Quebec, for no details as to the course of action to be pursued in the battle for the mnuicipal fran- chiso arc forthcoming from the Lea- qlle for women's Rights, in view of tho rlzlnoi‘ that the Montreal Bil] is likely to bc withdrawn from consid- eration by the Provincial Legislature This is in keeping with their resolve trot. to announce the name of thei sponsor of the bill to admit women

to the Bar, for the present. j

Following representations made to ‘ tho City Counicl, wherein the Lea- gue for Women's Rights asked the council to insert a clause in the lviountrcal Bill to give the vote to all married wcmcn property owners. without distinction of matrimonial regime, the aldcrmen put in a clause to give the municipal franchise to nlorrlcd women separate as to prop- erty. , If the city authorities do not in- ti-nd to proceed with their bill, ‘cor-I tuinly the feminists are not going to withdraw gracoiuliy and losc the advantage which they [cc] they gain rd by having the City Council con- rcdc the principle of women's right to vote. There arc other mcans of bringing up the matter in the Pro-

vincial Legislature, hilt just what,

their tactics are to bc, MrsP. F. Cnsgrain, president, declines for the present to state.

"Anyone who gives away the plan of action in advance is sure to meet defeat," shc stated emphatically, "Tile victory of Waterloo would nev- cr have been won if the plan of act- ion had been given out before hand. We are not going to tell."

"Wc have obtained something im- portant in the fact that the City Council conceded thc principle of votes for women, and just because of a hitch in procedure wc are not go- Iiig to give up the advantage we gained. It was not exactly what we wanted, for we asked for the vote without destinction of matrimonial regime. They only favored giving the municipal franchise to married wom- tn separate as to property, but this did constitute a recognition of the principle of women suffcrage, and we are not going to sacrifice this gain."

France's exports show a decline. Unemployment is growing. And what particular hits the Frenchman of moderate means is that the cost iof living still climbs.

The present situation is giving rise ‘to some concern. The number of ,thc unemployed, who in December Iwerc estimated to number 10.000, now inppear in the official returns as be- |ing between 30.000 and 40,000 and ltlie official figures admittedly do not
