THREE rRAINMEN CREMATED

Supreme Court Says Women Cannot
Vote at Municipal Elections.
Female sufrraCe LAW Knocked Out.


The supreme court In the mandamus
proceedings brought to test the con-
stitutionality of the act passed by the
last legislature granting school and
municipal suffrage to women, handed
down an opinion written by Judge Nc
Grath and conquered in by the entire
bench. declaring the law wholly un-
constitutional and void. The court
saws that the general rule is that the
source of all authority TO vote at popu-
lar elections is the constitution, that
the electorate is constituted by the
fundamental law; that the qualiGca-
tions of electors must be uniform
throughout the state, and that where
ever the constitution has prescribed
the qualifications of electors they can
not bc changed or added to by the leg
islature or otherwise except by an
amendment to the constitution.
Section 1 of article of the constitu-
ton. which provides who shall be
electors and entitled to vote, is quoted,
and the statement made that its terms
are applicable to 'all elections" The
court says that to empower the legisla-
ture to confer the elective franchise
upon classes of persons other than those
named, some other provision must be
pointed out which confers that author
ity in express terms or by necessary
implication.
La support Of the act it was argued
that the constitution in section - and
ia of article IL empowers the legisia-
ture so provide qualifications for voters
In Y, 'lage and city elections; and the
celebrated case of Bellies VS.. Burr, rs
Michigan, with others, were quoted to
support the contention. The court
says, however. that these cases in
volvcd only the validity of acts conferr-
ing upon females the right TO vote for
school district officers under constit.,-
tions which, like our owe, name no
school district officers and do not pre-
scribe or suggest how s-cb officers
shall be chosen, but in express terms
relegate TO the legislature the duty of
providing for and establishing system
of public schools.
The constitution has already pro-
vided for electors, and when it provides
that an officer shall be elected, it GER
tainly contcmplates an election 10y an
electorate which il has constituted.
No other election is known to the con-
stitution, and when it provides that
the legislature may divert the maner
I'm which an officer shall be elected, it
simply empowers the legislature to
provide the details for the holding of
such election. The court, therefore,
unanimously held the law invalid.

Chicago City Election.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Elections today
were hotly contested and Republicans
seemed to have at late hour tonight,
the best of it. The Times, Democratic
paper, comedies the election of the en-
tire Republican judicial ticket, with one
possible exception, and claims no more
than five of the county commissioners
inside OF the city. Outside of the city,
of course, it is Republican. The judi
cial ticket heretofore has been on nom
partisan basis, but this year the Demo-
Gratis broke away and nominated a
ticket of their own and the Republicans
seemed to have elected every judicial
candidate. A great fight has been over
the election of Judge Gary, who pre-
sided at the trial OF the anarchists. At
the time Governor Altgeld pardoned the
anarchists he made a severe attack
upon Gary and the fight has been Bit
ter against the state machine with the
result that Gary seems not only to have
polled the full Repu blican strength, but
to have drawn on the Democratic vote
as we'll. The general result shows de-
cisive Republican gains over the presi-
Dental election of year ago.

Cincinnati-One-tenth OF the pre-

THE COSTA RIGA AFFAIR.
Official Notification of the In
suit.
The Diplomatic Aspect of the Mat
ter and the Probable Action
of the United States.
By the Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. - Secretary
patch from United States Minister
Baker, who was on board the steamer
Costa Rica, when fired on by the
Honduras authorities because the cap
tain of the vessel refused to surrender a
refugee from Honduras on board as
passenger. The dispatch further con-
firms the press reports of the firing on
the United States flag.
While the ship was in the port of
Amapala, the authorities demanded
the surrender of Polecaro Barilla, who
was recently concerned in revolution
ary movements against the Honduras
government. The captain declined
after the ship had received her clear
ance papers, and while she was leaving
port six or seven shots were fired to
bring her to. Minister Baker was on
board at the time. Whether the shots
were fred directly at her or in front is
not stated. The matter was discussed
at the cabinet meeting this afternoon.
Captain Dow, who is in command of
Costa Rica, is the same captain who
harbored Barrundia, who was killed on
LIS snip several years dSo Dy NuH'i1o
lean authorities. 1t has been estab-
lished that political refugee who is a
passenger as Barilla was, cannot be
taken from ship on which he is. The
chance presence of the United States
minister on the vessel in this case is not
considered to make any difference in
the diplomatic aspects of the case.
Nothing could be learned of what reply
was sent to Minister Baker or what
steps it was proposed to take in the
matter. The United States steamer the
Alliance sailed yesterday from San Jose
to Acajutla, in Salvador. Whether this

New YORK, Nov. 7.-One OF the most
peculiar campains in the history OF the
state closed at sundown today and it is
safe to say that the Democratic mana

greatly assisted by the organized efforts
of independent Democrats.

Democratic ticket for Judge of the court
of appeals, against whom the independ-
ent Democrat waged war, was over
