MORE LEADERS THAN TROOPS. SENATOR'S TILT AT FRENCH FEMINISTS. THE STRUGGLE FOR WOMEN'S VOTES. Woman suffrage and apart roughly handled in the French Senate on the resumption of the debate on a private member's motion in favour of votes for The executioner was Senator Duplantier (Right), whose caustic pessimism kept the House in roars of laughter. The Senator asserted that the feminists formed an army composed of more leaders than troops.

The average Frenchwoman did not want the vote. The average Frenchman said When my wife shall not." The argument that France was the only great country where women did not vote did not impress M. Duplantier. If other countries were wrong, that was no reason for copying their mistake. NO GOOD RESULTS.

In the countries where it had been introduced, woman suffrage had given no good results. They were the countries worst hit by the economic crisis, like Great Britain, the United States and Germany. The United States was the only country were children were kidnapped. Women with the prevented nothing, went on the incorrigible Senator. Drink They drank like men.

Demimondaines I Were they going to be given a vote i There were some 18,000 in Paris. With proportional representation they could have a deputy all to themselves, exclaimed the Senator, amidst cheers. It was claimed that women would prevent war. The Senator did not agree. On the contrary, on the basis of the equality of the sexes, they would demand the right to do military service.

Women's into politics always led to acts of violence, concluded Iff. Duplantier. The English suffragettes, for example, had committed veritable crimes. NATIONALISE EVERYTHING MR. E-.

SHINWELL'S VISIT TO NOTTINGHAM. Mr. E. Shinwell, who held the office of Minister of Mines in the late Labour Government, visited Nottingham last night to address a semi-private gathering of members of the Nottingham Labour Party on Present, and Future." Aid. H.

Bowles, the leader of the party in Nottingham, took the chair. Dealing with tho unemployment problem, Mr. Shinwell said it was agreed by friends and foes alike that this was the greatest problem of the country's history. and what was the solution of it? "Clearly tarTlYs are no solution. Not oven our opponents will mako that claim now.

In fact the 'lories are running away from it as fast as they declared Mr. Sfnnwell. It was unfair to claim a success for tariffs by referring to a cnango for the better in certain trades. Prom the national angle the tariff policy had completely failed. The Socialist solution of the problem was in two forms the spending power, and a reduction in the hours ot labour, and clearly that was the only way out.

Mr. Shinwell claimed that the Labour Party must face up to two problems. What were they to do in order to secure power, and thus advance their policy, and what were they to do when they secured power Dealing with tho prospect of regaining power, Mr. ishinwell said that if the present Government tailed, the Labour Party must be prepared to demand an immediate general election, and appeal to the electors for a mandate to advance the whole of the Party's policy. It was a significant fact that in the event of an economic crisis, the trades union co-operative movement would be the strongest bulwark the country had.

Mr. Shinwell pointed out that when tho Party was back in power, they would have a considerable difficulty concerning their policy, but jf they were to become impressive, and do anything at all, they must advocate a comprehensive policy of banks, mines, land, and everything. 'nottm. and the beer duty. mr.

ii ai day's plan already CARRIED OUT. Our Lobby correspondent writes Nottingham Members of Parliament are mildly astonished at Mr. Hayday's suggestion to the trade unionists that they should approach their local Members of Parliament to make a protest to the Chanced lor of the Exchequer. Tho members are wondering where Mr. Hayday has been living in a political sense in the past month or two.

Mr. Caporn. for instance, spoke of the matter to me to-night, and 6aid that all that Mr. Hayday now advocates was attended to months ago. "We saw the Chancellor." he said, and it was the largest deputation I havo ever been on.

We impressed upon him all the facts in connection with the damage that was being done by the high beer duty and the unemployment which had resulted from this in the licensed trade and associated trades. Mr. Chamberlain himself admitted in the clearest terms that the trade is overtaxed, and inferentially he promised that it would be one of the first to be relieved when the financial situation of the country is such that he is satisfied this can be done." Other members spoke in a similar vein. It is evident that those whom Mr. Hayday was addressing can be assured that their interests are by no means being overlooked.

THE STAGE AND ITS RIGHTS. MR. HOLFORD KNIGHT'S SUPPORT. Mr. Holford Knight, M.P., who will move an amendment in the House of Commons to-day to the Sunday Entertainments Bill, widi the object of allowing the Sunday opening of theatres, yesterday made the follow ing statement to a Post reporter: I am not concerned with the business interests of the theatre, which are subordinate to the public.

Since Parliament is called upon to review the ambit of lawful entertainments on Sunday, the artists of the theatre joined with others, like myself, who desiro to see a great British institution like the stage obtain its rightful consideration. Further, in my view, the dignity of Parliament itself is engaged. To include the cinema and exclude the stage from Sunday performances is without rhyme or reason, and Parliament, frankly, should not do such things." NEW ADVENTURE FILM. JUNGLE HELL" SCREENED IN NOTTINGHAM. Jungle Heil," which was shown by Wardour to the trade and Press at trio No tingham Scala to-day, is tho first talking phture made by that n.repid pair of adventure-seekers and explorers, Mr.

EARL OF JERSEY AS FIRE CHIEF. DIRECTS OPERATIONS AT BLAZE ON HIS ESTATE. 500-YEAR-OLD MANSION DAMAGED.

The Earl of Jersey turned fire chief to-day, i when fire broke out on his estate at Osterley Park, HounsloAv. The buildings affected were used, as gardeners' dwellings and carpenters' workshops, and a gardener and hie wife escaped just in their dog. The gardener, awakened by the smell of burning wood, raised the alarm, and the Earl immediately began to direct his staff until the Isleworth. Fire Brigade arrived. The blaze was confined to the outhouses, and nobody was hurt.

At one time it was feared that tho house might be involved, but this danger was quickly averted by the firemen A large portion of the original mansion, over 500 years old, was badly It was occupied by tho head gardener. Hounslow and Isleworth fire brigades had. a stiff fight with the blaze, drawing water from the lily-pond. "LOVE-SICK MAIDENS" AND FORTUNE-TELLER. WOMAN GETS HARD LABOUR FOR FALSE PRETENCES.

Amazing references to a mysterious preparation called Zep," by which it is alleged to have been claimed that women could obtain views of their future husbands, -were made at Beverley (Yorks.) Quarter Sessions yesterday. The case was one in which Mrs. Ethel May Wilkinson, 58, of Wellington-road, Bridlington, appeared on charges of false pretences and fraudulent conversion. She was sentenced to 18 months' hard labour. Lord Irwin, in his charge to the Grand Jury, said: "Wilkinson claimed that she had" the power, by means of some material called to foretell the future marriages of Dora and Mabel Lyne, and by means of Zep 'to bring those marriages about.

She alleged that Zep possessed such qualities that if a piece of material worn by Dora Lyne and Mabel Lyno was soaked in Zep, and then burned at a lamp, she (Wilkinson) had the power to see in the smoke the men who would marry the ladies." Counsel said that between January and June, 1930, these two love-sick maidens" paid £195. When the money was exhausted Wilkinson urged them to sell their jewellery, and Dora sold £150 worth, handing the money to Wilkinson. ILLEGAL TO GIVE WATER TO THIRSTY CALLER. EXTRA RATE MUST BE PAID. It ie illegal to give a gasping man a glass ol water at your door, unless you pay a nondomestic water rate.

This fact was explained by the Registrar at Clerkenwell County Court yesterday. It arose out of the use of water for washing a horse' 6 feet. Tho Metropolitan Board sued the owner of the horso for Bs. water-rate under the section of the Act referring to nondomestic supply, and an order was made for payment of tho rate. An official of the Water Board explained yesterday that all water used for non-domestic purposes has to be paid for.

Olwrges range from os. for water to wash a single horse and 10s. for a garden hose or water to wash down a car. Where large quantities are used, such as for a fountain, the board instals meters. it was pointed out, giving a thirrty traveller a glass of water could be defended on ground that he was a householder's invitee! guest.

NEW YORK BOXING. KID BERG'S IMPORTANT BOUT TO-NIGHT. Kid Berg, the Whitechapel light-weight, has been presented with yet another opportunity of trying to win a world title for England. But he has first to beat the Cuban, Kid Choclate, in a return bout over 15 rounds on July 11th. It is planned tq match the winner of this fight with the winner of tho Tony Canzoneri Petrolle bout for the world's lightweight championship, either on August Bth or early in September.

The two losers will appear on the same programme hi a preliminary contest to the title fight. Thus a great deal depends on the result of Bergs fight to-night with Mike Sarko, an American who has a victory over the Scottish featherweight, Johnny McMillan, to his credit. The fight, which takes place at the Island Stadium, will be over eight rounds. Berg's opponent to-night was to have been Jimmy McNaniara, a previous victim of his. but the American had to cry off through indisposition.

Foreign Special. PRESIDENT'S ASSASSIN. GOUGULOFF'S APPEAL AGAINST TRIAL DECISION. The appeal of Gouguloff, the man who President Doumer, against the decision of the court to send him for trial before the Seine jury, will be heard tomorrow. M.

de la Panouse, advocate for Gouguloff, will plead that the doctor who gave the injection to Gouguloff to see whether he suffered from a certain malady, did not take the oath before he proceeded to the analysis. Another technical question will also be raised. If the defence is successful on these points, the trial fixed for the last fortnight in July will be postponed. FLOGGING FOR DOG CRUELTY DUCHESS OF PORTLAND ANIMALS' CONDITIONS ABROAD. Sir Robert Gower.

speaking at the annual meeting in Jxmdon yesterday of tho Society for the Pro cctiou of Animals in North Africa, said: Our feelings were harrowed the other day with that case in which a man beat his dog to death. I am asking the Homo Secretary to-morrow to authorise courts to adeninister flogging in such cases." The Duchess of Portland referred to the improvemen in the condition of animals abroad, and said that one no longc- regarded an animals' hell side by side with a tourists' paradise.

An anonymous donor from the village of Thureaston is the latest contributor with 127 ancient and modern farthings, some of which date back to the reign of King George 11.

At a meeting held last night at Bulwell, under tho auspices of tho Nottingham Economic League. Mr. E. J. W.

Disbrowe said that both Republi can and Democratic opinion in America I was becoming internationalised. In both tho political camps it was recognised that America could not stand aloof, that her problems and those of tho rest of the world are largely identical, or. at any rate, interdependent, and that unless red ruin was to be broadcast, recovery must be achieved along the lines of international co-operation and agreement. INCREASE IN WORLD UNEMPLOYMENT. IMPROVEMENT ONLY IN POLAND AND FINLAND.

As compared with the position in June, 1931, there has been an almost general increase in unemployment throughout the world. Comparative figures for June, 1931, and the present month arc issued by the International Labour Office at Geneva, and these reveal an improvement only in Poland and Finland. In Germany the total of unemployed increased from 4,211,000 to 5,675,000, and in Great Britain and Ireland from 2,577,000 to 2,821,000. Moreover, the improvement uusally noticeable during the spring has not taken place this year. In tho United States unemployment in the last three months increased by 8 per cent.

Router states that the decrease shown in Finland was only 3.1 per and in Poland only 3 per cent. HOLIDAY TRAVEL. CONCESSIONS BY THE RAILWAY COMPANIES. Extensive arrangements, have been made this year by the four-group railway companies for holiday return tickets. A large number of Saturday and Sunday book- ings are offered, this concession being a recent innovation by the companies.

First-class holiday tickets are to be offered at greatly reduced rates, which amount to only one-sixth of a penny per mile more than the ordinary third-class fares. A cheap weekly first or third season ticket has i been introduced, enabling passengers arriving at 1 their holiday destination to arrange any number of rail ionmevs to daces ot interest.

I should like to state that, as foreman of the jury at the recent inquest, I consider Aid. Turney's remarks uncalled for and an insult to ratepayers. All the jurymen were conversant with the locality and the speed of the buses, so wo were perfectly justified and entitled to add tho rider. The Corporation Passenger Transport Department is not so efficient as to be immune from criticism by those who upkeep and patronise these services. Let us havo a few moro buses and less speeding, also adequate means of protection at the front of trolley A.

Mabson. Trent Baths Charges. Regarding the imposition of a charge for admission to Trent Baths, I would suggest that, in tho event of the Baths Committee not abandoning tho charges altogether, scnie concession be given to those bathers who use the river in the early morning. Workmen obtain modifications of fares on the Corporation transport vehicles, and some such amelioration should be granted to swimmers. The early morning bather is.

as a rule, consistent in liis attendance there, and does not occupy the water for many minutes. Further, could not these baths be equipped with a shower If the charge is levied, there should bo something for our Bird. The Nottingham Unemployed. Please permit me officially to reply to your correspondents, A Victim and "A.W.", regarding unemployed organisations in Nottingnam. "A Victim stated in his letter that ho did not belong to any unemployed organisation; that, to our minds, is deplorable for many reasons.

There it no Conservative Unemployed Association in Nottingham. Wo collect contributions outside the exchanges, and our is Unemployed Workers' Section of the Nottingham and District Trades Council. By joining the section an unemployed worker may obtain the assistance of the officers and committee of the section and tha council. With regard to social amenities, we have been trying to obtain rooms for the use of members, and our efforts likely to be successful. For a penny a week our organisation represents members before Courts of Referees (sending their cases to tho Umpire if necessary), the P.A.C., city and county, both for relief and readjustment of assessments under the means test regulations.

Arrangements were made in conjunction with the W.E.A. and the Department of Adult Education, U.C.N., and the City Education Committee for classes during last session free of charge. The committee is composed mainly of unemployed workers, whoso hope is that their voluntary service in the cause of the unemployed will help to end the present situation, and that their children may not have to suffer as they have done and still do. If the 16,006 unemployed in Nottingham were solidlyorganised we should be able to make more impression on the local and national legislators. The whole trade union movement is behind us, and we take male and femalo members.

An inexhaustible supply of pure water from Mont Blanc, and a volume of gas sufficient to light the city for a century. According to Abbe Mermet, these are the subterranean treasures at the disposal of Paris as soon as she chooses to adopt means of utilising them.

The-Abbe, who has achieved fame as a water diviner, startled an influential scientific audience in the Salle Wagram by the conviction with which he expressed himself regarding these possibilities. There is, ho declared, quite close to Paris, at a depth of about 1,600 feet, a river comparable to the Seine. It is a stream, forming a diverted section of a great flow of water having its origin at Mont Blanc. Tho water is of the purest type, and is capable of giving Paris a supply of more than 200.000 gallons a minute. Nor is this all.

Not far from this subterranean river there exists, the Abbe declares, a vast volume of gas which, if utilised for the use of man, might be expected to illuminate Paris for 100 years. LINDBERGH BABY AMERICAN SURRENDERS TO CZECH POLICE. STORY ACCEPTED WITH RESERVE. An American, who is declared to have confessed that he murdered the Lindbergh baby, is being detained by the police at Neustadt on the River Waag, Czechoslovakia. The American, exhausted and penniless, surrendered at the police station, as he was without any means of support, and told the police that, with six companions, he made his way from America to London, but later decided to go to Russia.

He, however, was deprived of his money and documents, and was abandoned by his companions, who made their way to Russia. IDENTITY NOT DISCLOSED. The self confessed murderer has so far refused to disclose his identity, and his story has been accepted by the police with reserve, until they are able to check his movements. It will be remembered that Major Schoeffel, of the New Jersey Police, who was in charge of the Lindbergh baby investigations, made a journey to Central Europe, when he was believed to have checked up certain details of the kidnapping which had a European end. Major Schoeffel at the time, however, denied this, and declared that his journey had nothing whatever to do with the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.

CHILD IMPRISONED FOR FOUR YEARS. CRIPPLE'S MUSIC STOOL FOR A BED. Remarkable allegations were made at Bath Police Court yesterday, when Percy Harold Townsend, 57, and Dorothy Ellen Sparrow, 30, living in Morford-street, Bath, were charged with wilfully neglecting the woman's daughter, Gwendoline Mary, aged 9. It was stated that the girl was a cripple, I whoso legs were bent almost at right angles, due in part to the fact that sho had no proper sleeping accommodation, and had to use an open music stool for her bed. It was alleged that she had been kept confined and closely guarded for four years in a room from which she could see only an adjoining roof and a small bit of sky.

Sho had never been to school. So closely was she guarded that men at work in a garage only a few yards away knew nothing of her existence. Tho man explained that the child was kept in for fear that they should be turned out if the landlord knew that the woman and child were there. Ho denied that he and the woman were i living together. The man was fined £10 and the woman was remanded.

The child was sent to a home. BARONESS AS AITRESS. TITLED PEOPLE IN RESTAURANT VENTURE. i A baronet, a baroness, and an ex-member 3 of the V.A.D. are associated in tho manage-1 ment of a new London restaurant, which opened its doors this week, The business has been opened by Miss i Grace Caldwell, who was with the V.A.D.

The Baroness Yon Trebnitz also comee from the Antipodes, although she is a mem ber of an old Saxony family. Her father, 3 who resides at Sydney, is the Baron Paul Heddwig Yon Trebnitz.

BISHOP OF LINCOLN ON HIS BOYHOOD. FATHER A CURATE WHO MARRIED ON £100 A YEAR. Recollections of straitened circumstances during his boyhood were drawn upon by the Bishop of Lincoln, speaking yesterday at the annual meeting of the Poor Clergy Relief Fund, at Sion College, Victoria Embankment, London. For the first twelve years of my life," said the Bishop, my father was a curate in a country parish. 1 remember how straitened circumstances were in our home.

Wo counted not. only every sixpence, but every penny, too. "My father started on £40 a year, which was raised to £60, and he married on £100 a year." Nevertheless, Dr. Swayne declared, the clergy were not on the whole as well off to-day as they were at that time, because formerly clergymen were tho sons of well-to-do-people and almost invariably had private some cases very large ones. 10-day the majority had nothing but their professional incomes to live on.
