STILL IN THE FIGHT.
Alameda Woman Suffragists Re-
organize for a New Campaign.

ALAMEDA, Oct. 2S.-The Alameda Ia
dies who advocate political equality have
resurrected their Organization and pro-
pose to renew their fight. When they
campaigned two years ago for the
womans suffrage amendment they ar
gued that their sex was entitled to a
vote on every question submitted to the
people. Now they are conducting the agi-
tation on different lines. They will be
satisfied If only women property holders
are given the ballot, and they only ask
the right of suffrage at school elections.
The Alameda Equality Club held a re-
union yesterday at the residence Of ex-
Assemblyman j. A. Waymire. The equal
ity question was discussed and plan Of
campaign was outlined. A committee was
appointed to intercede with legislative
candidates Of all parties to secure their
influence in behalf of the woman's suf-
frage cause.
Among those who attended the meet
ing were: Mrs. Swift, State president of
the Woman's Suffrage Association; Mrs.
Sperry, treasurer, and Mrs. Krebs, sec
rotary: Nine. Sorbier Mrs. DR.. Beecher,

Footpads Vanquished.
ALAMEDA, Oct 2S.-Sam ScofieId. son
of the president of the Pacific Coast Oil
Works. was held up by footpads a few
nights ago, and by the rapid and effect
i've use Of his fists he vanquished the
ruflans, who made good their escape.
The hoid-up occurred at the corner of
Encinal avenue and Walnut street. Mr..
Scofeld was on his way home near mid
night when suddenly he was confronted
nv three men who commanded him to
sfop and throw up his hands. Instead of
obeying the order Scofield, who has some
pretensions as an athlete, jumped at the
footnads and began to use his props"
with telling effect One of the men went
down from blow In the face, and the
others took to their heels and ran. While
Scofield was chasing them the fellow who
had been fioored disappeared The affair
was not reported to the police, and there
is no clew to the footpads.
