A sea Of bonnets filed Hamilton hall
last night There were bonnets that had
been the pride of some milliner's heart,
and others that were strange aggrega-

bonnets were located the happy, smiling
faces Of Topeka's better half, the female
part. The men were there, too; sand

pair of immense sleeves at either side.
When anything funny was said all the

was the wiser.

The Meeting This Morning.

There were dishes to be washed and
floors to be swept this morning which
probably accounts for the fact that only
about 200 women of Topeka attended
the opening of the second days equal
suffrage rally.
Rev. c. NJ. Sheldon began the meeting
with a prayer in which he asked for
better homes and purer politics.
Susan b. Anthony was the first speaker
today. Among the good things she said
were:
I'VE want TO put a stop to that horrid
old cry that the men are ready to let the
women vote whenever the women want
to vote. / saw that same statement in
this mornings paper. We have been
trying for forty years to get the men
ready"
ssWomen of today are not meek know
nothings. They have tasted the sweets
of the ballot. They have got tired of
floating your kites and in turn getting
your foot on their necks.

MISS ANTHONY AND THE OTHERS


Some Remarks by the Distin guished
Woman About Her Co-Laborers.
81 call her Carrie. Lane Chapman"
said Susan B. Anthony, speaking of her
disciple, Mrs. Gait, "and prefer to think
of her that way. Her first husband was
a Mr.. Chapman and they had only been
married year when he died, but now
she mas married again. Her husband is
a splendid man. He is all right and the
only unfortunate thing about it is that
his name is Catt.'
Susan B. Anthony doesn't like Mrs.
Lease. She is careful not to say anything
about her, however, if she can help it
She was very much vexed because an
eastern paper had quoted her as speak
ing of Mrs. Diggs, Mrs. Lease and Mrs.
Cougar in the same sentence. 81 don't
put Mrs. Diggs with those women" said
she with a sweep of her long arm. 81
never allow myself to speak of them to-
gether. Mrs. Diggs is all right, and she
is a very dear friend of mine" She
seemed very much ag9rieved at the i'm
piled insult to Mrs Diggs.

after they had had surfeit of woman
suffrage doctrine for more than two
hours.
Mrs Gait was born in Wisconsin, but
moved to Iowa in early childhood When
she grew to womanhood she taught
school and was principal of the Mason
City schools. Leaving school work, she
took up journalism and did work on the
local papers in Iowa After three years
she moved to San Francisco and took
position as reporter on the San Francisco
Journal of Commerce. She was the first
woman reporter in San Francisco. She
spent one year in the journalistic
field in California and then became
a disciple of Miss Anthony, and since
then has been an active advocate of
equal suffrage. She has spent six years
on the platform and is now national or
ganizer of the Woman Suffrage associa-
ton. She owns to being past thirty but
looks younger.
Mrs. Gait talked to JOURNAL reporter
after the meeting last night about the
situation in Kansas "What we want in
Kansas" she said, sis that the parties
will put suffrage planks in their plat
forms. If they do not do it we still have
hopes of carrying the amendment but by
a reduced majority. Our work will still
go on nevertheless whether planks are
adopted or not and we will win the fight
Miss Gait said in speaking of the ma
tional situation, 81 am satisfied that in
fifteen years the political disabilities of
women will be removed in every state
and territory in the United States"

teresting Facts.

theresa a
terestfng Facts.
Mrs Theresa A Jenkins, of Cheyenne,
Wyoming, is here to tell about the work
ing of woman suffrage in her state. She
addresses the suffrage meeting this
evening.
ssWhy we were so we'll satisfied with
equal suffrage that when the state con-
stitution was adopted the suffrage clause
met with no opposition" she said to a
JOURNAL reporter. We had the right
to vote in territorial times from the time
of the organization of the territory in
1859. We do not attempt to work separ
ately in politices we only cooperate with
the men and they cooperate with us.
What do you think of women holding
officer" the reporter asked.
81 consider it perfectly proper. So far
the women we have elected have made
no mistakes and we have great many
women holding office. Do you know that
every county superintendent in our state
is a woman? The educational field is
that to which we give our greatest atten-
tion.''
.sDo the women come out and vote at
elections?"
"Yes, all of them. I don't know of
woman that does not vote. In the city
of Cheyenne we have a total vote of
$780,, and at the last election 1922
women registered. Out of that number
all but eighteen of the women voted"
"What effect has suffrage on ring pol
itics and mOrals?"
"a very good effect" responded Mrs.
Jenkins with emphasis. "Not a corrupt
man can get on the tickets. We don't
have to beat them The women don't
go to the primaries-we hold our own
caucuses in the parlOrs and the men don't
dare disregard u.s. The best men are
with the women and they say we don't
dare to put a bad man on the ticket for
the women will not vote for him."
'sDo the country women voter
"Yes, they take great interest in the
elections. l have known women to ride
% miles in order to vote"

that most of the women in Wyoming are
Republicans probably from the fact that

Thomas, who were arrested some days ago. II
was also said that Voss and Svenson had been
promised immunity from punishment If they
would return and turn States evidence. The
statement has. in all probability, but little
foundation. Voss and Svenson were arres ed
in Sacramento for having unstamped opium IN
their possession and before it was known that
the men were smuggers they were released on
$500 cash bail each. They at once fled 10
British Columbia, and their whereabouts has
been no secret 10 the special agents OF the
Treasury stationed here, but the men were
beyond reach OF arrest
Ii has been also stated that VoSs and Sven

United States District Attorney carter would
send them a written guaranty of immunity
from punishment. This NJ r. Garter has steadily
refused TO do. as he has no right TO promise

and could not legally guarantee any such
thing until after the men have surrendered
themselves, IL then. When Special Agent Gull
lom of Oregon left here few days ago 1t was
supposed his mission 70 Oregon was TO try 10
induce Voss and SvenSon TO return. and he may
have succeeded bet ii so District Attorney Gar

from him as TO what shall be their fate.
SO far the United States Grand jury has re-
turned no indictments against either OF the
four men Miller, Wichman, Thomas or Green

Svenson in their Illicit trade. Further news
from the north is anXl0usly awaited.

DAMAGED DECKS,
Nothing but Whispers on
the Bark Ophir.
Governor Markham and Friends on
a Government Tug-No Opposi-
tion Boat to Vallejo.

parture Bay with coal, arrived yesterday, hav-
ing suffered severely from the effects of

shop, smashing and demoralZing things on
deck generally and crushing In the FORWARD
part OF the deckhouse Several new sails were
lost, being blown into Shreds by the force of
the storm. The damage TO the Potter has not
yet been estimated by the skipper, Capt ain
Meyer, but from all appearances it Will require
the outlay of several hundred dollars to make
repairs.
A United States Marshal is still In charge of
the bark Ophir. which has been detained on
account of an attachment levied for an unpaid
$50 account. The proposed voyage OF the
Ophir has been regarded with some suspicion
along the water front for some time past. the
story originating when that vessel had some
trouble shipping crew. Captain ferguson
wanted TO ship men without paying my ad-
vance money and was very particular as TO
what men he accepted. Not many days ago his
negro steward deserted, and when the cook got
ashore he told Of the myst riOus way in which
the men on the bark acted. every one was
whispering" he said. sit was nothing but
whisper. whisper all the time."
Governor Markham made use of one OF the
State tugs for private excursion rendered
