I've have devoted most of our time
this year to the work of organiza-
tion," Miss Anthony said. "We have
had three times as much money in the
treasury as ever before and our menu
bership has doubled
"What has been the greatest work
of the past year done by the society
apart from organizing new branches?'
Miss Anthony was asked.
Undoubtedly 1t is the preparation
of the monster petitions to congress
asking for sixteenth amendment,
and also asking that in the constitu-
tions of the new islands the word
male shall not appear in the suf-
frage clause. We have sent two
copies to congress of such petitions
from every state organization of the
suffrage association. We have also
sent petitions from the officers of or
CARNATIONS representing over 2,OOO,-
900 laboring men. A large number Of
labor societies have voted to sup
port our cause"

was pinioned up against the smashed
front of the southbound car with
both legs severed and killed instant

minutes.

slightly injured of the men extricated
themselves and began to pull peo-
pie out of the rear ends of the two

children who had escaped injury and
