Tells Them He Has No Power to Introduce a Votes for Women Bill and Threats Will Not Awe Him. LONDON, Aug. %—The Canadian Premier, Robert L. Borden, when he faced the suffragettes for the firat time to-day took a firm stand. He told them very emphatically he had no power to Introduce a general measure of suffrage for women in the Dominion of Canada and that no threats of the employment of militant methods would have any in- fluence on him, The delegation of the women's social and political union was introduced by Miss Barratt and she stated that thelr chief object was to ask the Canadian Premier if he intended on his return to the Dominion to introduce a government measure for the enfranchisement of women. She mentioned the Canadian homestead law as an instance In which great Injustice was done to women, but remarked that even if the laws were right women would still want the vote, pata at "wdeeae banal TELLS OF NEW YORK COINERS DPNVER, Colo., Aug, 2&—That there {a a plant in New York manufacturing spurious half dollars which are sent to various agencies throughout the United States, is the confeasion made by Ignacio Moncini, an Italian, arrested yesterday at So} near Trin.dad, charged with counterfeiting, Monein! declares the counterfeit half dollars are went out from the New York headquarters of the ging and t he has been distributing them to other Italtins, who Becret Service Ament — SHIPPING NEWS, —| PORT OF NEW York, ARRIVED, Dernen Thames aL are hl | Chataiet INCOMID bug 1 AY, Curityba, Nipe, rutetla, Porto Barrios, OUTGOIN( AMSHIPS, SMILED TODAY fa LArernool Cro’ava, Bermuda, in Juan, Almiatite, Jamaica, SEVEN LITTLE FOVS i To Vaudeville in Fourteenth Street DOIE, FOY AN-D #215 BE VEN CTLDRED « WITH DADGIVEA FINELITTLE SHOW They Follow in Eddie’s Foot- Steps Just Like a Flight of Stair’ At last New York ts vouchsafed the Privilege so iong enjoyed by New Ro- chelle—the privilege of seeing the Geven Little Foys, whose fame has grown as steadily as (tay hair of the Sutherland sisters of equal number.
