MISS COUSINS DISCUSSED.
Chicago Women Think Her Structures
the Result of Illness and
disappointment.

Chicago, April 6.-Opinions of woman
suffrage voiced by Miss Phoebe Cousins
on sick bed at St. Louis were general
ly discussed yesterday by Chicago wo-
men.
'I certainly believe with Miss Cous-
ms said Jane Adams, that women
are no better than men We never claim
we are, but we do think they are the
equal of men, and consequently they
have an inalienabl right to the fran
chise- From an ethical standpoint they
have a right to the full expression of
their opinions. Two hundred years ago
only nOblemen were allowed the right
to vote, but gradually it has extended
down to the working classes, and 1t is
only a question of time when women
will be allowed to cast a vote at the
polls Regarding Miss Cousins state
ment, We must take what she says with
a great deal of charity She has long
been a sufferer and is well known to be
an ambitious woman PrObab bly, her
sickness has caused her to take a pes
simistic view of things No matter
what she says, we shall still continue
to work toward attaining our ends
DR.. Sarah H.StevensOn said that Miss
Cousins was not responsible for what
she said. The statement in the pa
perS is that of a woman who is i'll. Her
long illness has diScolore6 her views
DR.. Julia Holmes Smith of 499 Dear
born avenue, said: Il really feel that
Miss Cousins is too i'll to be held re-
spoEsible- The women who have work
co IN the Suffrage movement are the
women who have won for US our pres
ent advantages. The whole troubl
with Miss Cousins is disappointed am
bition. She wanted to be first She
criticises the methods of the workers
but does not count the results. I think
we are all more sorry for Miss Cousins
than we are offended at her"
Mrs. Lucy R. Flower said that while
she believed in the suffrage movement
theoretically, she did not practically Il
do certainly believe that all women are
happier married than single. I feel
sorry for Miss Cousins, because she had
hard life Failure to attain the height
of her ambition is doubtless the cause
of her attack on the leaders of the suf-
frage movement. Nothing she has said
will change my opinion of the move
ment or of its leaders. I see no cause
of her abuse of Susan B Anthony
Miss Anthony is a woman true to her
ideas, and no one can help but admire
her.

The Queen of the Carnival
Sends a Message
Announcing Her Return to Visit Us
Again at the Fall Festival

Since the appearance of LORNA last
autumn, nothing has been heard of her
Royal Highness until today, when the
following letter was received at the
Journal office:
my Dear Delightful People of Topeka:
Il am LORNA, your queen. I give you
greeting of my love- and such love as
were I the universal maiden. My heart
throbs and my brain aches to embrace
you again. 1 am coming, and the mo-
mentS that lie between, are stalking
ones that loiter on their way.
"Ohl My heart be still! Do you re-
member the night of the Carnival you
crowned me? AS the ivory tusked ele-
plant Bonded his knee for me, as I was
lifted to his back, covered with silken
tapestry, as I seated myself on the bro
caded throne, canOpied with gossamef
film of cloth of gold and the long cav
alcade started down the broad avenue,
lit with a thousand puIsing lights, as
MarshaIfs band began to play, my soul
trembled in an ecstacy no earth born
damsel knows.
'Oh Topekai I am coming again to
be crowned. am coming with the
clouds. The perfumed airs of night
shall watt me TO you. will spread my
extended arms over you in blessing and
benediction.!
L have drifted with the changing
currents of the air; I have startled
Omaha. A thousand Instruments have
suddenly clinked and ignorant eyes
have watched my trackless course;
sleepy burgs. like Belleville, sighted my
trailing, moonlit robes, but 1 can know
no other love than thee.
''AdOrn the ethyl Ribbon the door
knobs, Plant carnations and roses on
the phaeton's whirling wheels! Flood
your streets with altar of roses; carpet
them with flowers; build your auditOri-
UNI; collect your subscriptions; invite
a hundred thousand spectators. And
then, my love, as dawn greets the day
will I come to my bridegroom, dear, de-
lightful Topeka. And when the bells
chime that the Carnival is here, my car
shall descend and shall alight to- en-
brace you.
Queen of heart and soul and all
Queen Of the Great Carnival"
LORNA.

TRIED 10 BLOCK IT.
F. z Grimes Sought to Put OF the
Bribery Investigation.

A covert attempt has been made to
prevent the investigation of the alleged
charges of bribery in connection with
various measures considered by the
legislature, but it has failed and the
investigation will begin tomorrow and
expend at least $4,000 of the states
money in taking testimony and max
ing campaign material for both sides
F. E. Grimes, the Republican member
of the committee who has been elected
secretary, questioned the power of the
committee to sit at this time. He
claims that the concurrent resolution
does not provide that the committee
shall conduct the investigation after
the close of the legislative session. Upon
that basis he raised the further Ques-
ton as to the legality of any proceed
ings which the committee may have.
Mr.. Grimes took his legal documents
books of parliamentary law and other
authorities to Attorney General Boyle
last night and attempted to show why
the committee cannot lawfully pro-
coed with the work which has been as
signed to it. Mr.. Grimes has claimed
all along to be very much in favor of
the investigation and his sudden change
of front and attempt to prevent the
StigatiOn at a time when the MEM
bers are on their way to begin work
has created some comment.
Mr.. Boyle scarcely examined the pa
pers in the application for an opinion.
He merely said:
There is nothing, so far as am able
to observe, which can in any way inter
feTe or prevent the committee from
taking UP this investigation. The in
tention of the resolution is plain. The
investigation was to begin at a time
when the session of the legislature had
ended and that is all there is to say.
The failure of the resolution to express
ly convey the power to sit as a com
mittee al a certain time does not inval-
idate it,
In questioning the right of the COM
mittee to proceed, Mr.. Grimes said to
the attorney general:
AS I understand it, if the members
of the committee have no power or
authority to sit after the adjournment
Of the legislature, then the members of
the committee cannot draw any pay
for their time and services, and no wit
ness can receive any compensation
therefor. In addition to this, if the
committee has no authority to sit after
the adjournment of the legislature, then
we cannot compel any witnesses to ap-
pear before US, or punish them for con
tempt, if they fail to attend or refuse
to answer"
Perhaps it was through fear of re-
ceiving no pay that Mr.. Grimes aided
BY some Of his friends attempted to
prevent the investigation.

OHIO,s FRACTIONAL FIGHT.
Senator Foraker VIII Oppose Bellamy
Storer's Appointment.

Washington. April ca battle royal
will soon be on between The administra-
ton forces in the senate led by Mark
Hanna and Senator J. B. Foraker, W no
is now in Ohio gathering ammunition
whereby he viii fight the confirmation
of Beuamy Storer as FIRST assistant
secretary of state. It has been decided
that St0rer's appointment will be made
this week The pressure has been strong
on both sides, and President Mckinley
has finally made up his mind to side
with StCrer.
Secretary Sherman has all along in
sisted on StDreT'5 appointment but it
is not so much a victory for Sherman
thus far as for Archbishop Ireland and
other close friends of the ex-cOngress-
man.
There is an old score to settle between
Foraker and StOrer. IN 1884 the Fora
lzer men prevented Storer from receiV
ing the usual Endorsement of second
term Since that time the fight has
been going on ana Foraker Won out in
getting control OF the state organization
and IN the nomination of his candidate
for governor over the Sherman and Nc
KinIey candidate two years ago.
Foraker viii therefore oppose the con-
firmatiOn of Storer. and the senate will
be treated to some fire alarm OTatOry
ere many days. 1t will equal the cele-
brated fight between Cleveland and Sen

BRYAN DRAWS A CROWD.
The United States Supreme Court
Room is Packed to Hear the
Nebraskan.

Washington, April 6.-The crowds
about the United States supreme court
yesterday were a light reminder of the
late campaign. They were attracted by
the presence in the court room of ". J.
Bryan, late Democratic candidate for
the presidency, who had been annOun-
ced to appear as counsel for the state of
Nebraska in the argument of what is
known as the the maximum freight
cases.
The limited capacity of the court
room was taxed before the case began,
and the corridors were soon filled by the
anxious people.
Mr.. Bryan was in the court room
early, occupying a seat behind Mr.
Smythe, attorney general of Massacllu-
sets, with whom he was to appear in
the case. Mr.. Bryan moved the adnis-
sion to the bar, early in the day, of H.
Q. Bell, deputy commissioner of pen
sions
The Nebraska case was not reached
until o'clock, and John L. Webster
counsel for the state, was then recog-
nized to open the argument. He con-
sumed the remainder of the day and
had not concluded when the court ad-
journed
When Mr. Webster finishes, as he
will today, Mr.. Bryan will be heard.
The railroads are represented by Jas.
Carter OF New York The decision of
the case will determine the constitu-
tiOnality of the law of 1893, fixing a
maximum rate for freight charges on
the part of railroads operating in the
state.

CHANDELIERS IDEA.
If Congress AbOhshes Railroad Com
petition it Might as Well Abol-
fsf1 All Com ratifinn


Washington, April 6.-Senator Chand-
1er's bill in the nature of an amendment
to Senator F'oraker's railroad pooling
bill, is entitled a bill abOlishing COM
petition in trade and production and
authorizing com binatiOnS to enable
merchants, manufacturers and pro-
ducers Of commodities subject to inter
state commerce to maintain prices and
make profits, Notwithstanding business
depreSsiOns.''
The body of the bill declares that it
shall be unlawful for different and COM
peting merchants, manufacturers and
other producers of commodities, which
are or may be the subjects of interstate
commerce, to enter into any contract
agreement or arrangement for the di-
vision of apportionment among them
selves or with others in like business of
the whole or any of their gross or net
earnings, or for the restriction of pro-
ductiOn in their business, or for the
fixing OF the prices of commodities by
the order or recommendation of repre-
SentatiVes designated on behalf of the
various parties to any contract or
agreement or by the order or recon-
mendatiOn of the majority of such rep
resentatives for the maintenance of
prices of commodities once fixed or the
enforcement of any such contracts by
fines and penalties imposed upon any
or the parties thereto, and each day of
the continuance of any such contract
shall be deemed a separate offenSe; pro-
V1ded, however, that under conditions
named in the bill, ii shall be lawful for
Such merchants, manufacturers and
producers to enter into such contracts,
agreements or arrangements which
shall be enfocible between the parties
thereto.
The bill then gives the interstate COM
merce commission supervision over the
business done by merchants, manufac-
turers and other producers under agree
ments made in pursuance OF the au-
thority given by this bill and by the in
terstate commerce act. The body of the
Foraker pooling bill is adopted by Sem
ator Chandler, but for the words used
in the railroad business he substitutes
throughout the bill the words used in
manufacturing and trade"
Mr.. Chandler said he would not press
this bill unless an effort was made To
pass the pooling bill' allowing rail-
roads TO com bine. In that case he
would urge this as an amendment to
the pooling bill. If congress abolishes
railroad competition it might as well
abolish all other competition.
