Wil- Son, a prominent equal suffragist, went | before the Political Equality Soctety | today and advocated the abandonment of the fight for equal suffrage, anti- vaccination and other reform move- ments. Mrs. Wilson startled her hear- ers when she declared that there was only one way to reach recreant legisla- 4 tors and that was by inaugurating the plan of initiative and referendum. Mrs. Wilson went to the capital to fight for a repeal of the compulsory vaccinatfon law. She Is principal of the private school maintained by the Berkeley. She formerly served in the Berkeley School Department as princi- to the vaccination law made her per- Sona non grata with the school authori- ties. At the meeting at the home of Mrs. William Keith today Mrs. Wilson When people who are spending their own time and money ‘and. labor in a cause entirely for the good of others, making an impersonal, dis- interested plea for bumanity, are met by the supposed representatives of the people with nar- row-minded, bigoted unfairness, what hope is there for 'any reform measure placed before them? None whatever. When the antivaccination blll came up before the House there was a warm debate, which lasted more than ninety minutes. A repeal measure needs the votes of a majority of the | members present, which majority was forty-one. The count stood: Ayes 35, noes 26, and so we lost, although we had a majority of nine of those voting. You will probably he surprised when T tell you that we will galn our ends quicker if jwe drop completely the equal suffrage, the ahti- vaccination and any other reform measures and work entirely for the initiative and referendum. That {s another reform measure of much broader scope than either of the others, and would most immediately include them if adopted. i e e i s CUT BY RAZOR WIELDER J. J.

At the end he was attended only by a blind schoolmate, Rasendo Uruchurtu. Over a year ago young Bacigalupi sued his father for support. The complaint of the son was a pitiful document, nar- rating the helplessness of his condition. It stated that the youth was at ‘that time dependent upon the bounty of his grandmother, whose resources were but meager. In his answer to the complaint the wealthy impresario of talking ma- chines declared that he was unable to contribute to the son's support owing to the demands made on his purse by his famiily, which Included several daughters who were in soclety. The suit created much feeling at the time, and when it was on Judge Hebbard's calendar the father was bitterly ar- raigned by the court for his neglect of the afflicted son. But the parent finally won his case. Without means of support, the blind youth endeavored to earn his living by singing on the concert stage, but did not succeed. Last summer he went East. e LR BIG SHIPMENT OF WINE Good Prices Are Realized by Santa Clara Producers SAN JOSE, Feb. 15.—The largest wine shipment from this county in ten years has just been started to New York City.
