ANTI-SUFFRAGISTs.
semi-Annual Report of the Work in
Illinois.

Chicago. May 3.-The Illinois associa-
ton opposed to the extension of suffrage
to women today issued its semi-annual
report of the progress of the work Al
ter giving the results of the legislative
action in the middle west in regard to
woman suffrage during the past winter
the report says:
Everywhere there seems to be a grow
ing conviction that the best work of men
lies along the lines of moral influence
and unselish endeavor, in a realm where
the Golden Rule is not read backward
and that the lowering Of this high ideal
to the plane of expediency, trucking
and bargaining which the admission of
all classes of men to the ballot often
makes necessary in politics would be
distinct calamity to women themselves
and to society at large. At the same
time these capacities directed through
the home or through organized effort to
the formation and guidance of that pub
lie opinion which lies behind all law and
without support of which statutory en-
actments are worthless, may render in
valuable and indispensable public ser
vice.
If women would use as much intel
lgence and energy as participation in
legislation would require, in teaching
their children, boys and girls alike in
broad liberal way, the great principles
OF temperance and chastity. they would
do more in a generation towards eradi-
CallnS the evils OF 1nfeTnperancG ana
impurity than they could do by a cen
tury of voting. If in the same way they
would inculcate and everywhere stand
for the pronciples of justice and unset
hshness and a true regard for the rights
of others, in social commercial and po-
htical relations they could do more
towards reforming those conditions OF
society which breed anarchy and are the
despair of the practical politician than
they could ever do through legislative
action There is much evidence that it
is to these aims that thoughtful and
philanthropic women are directing their
attention, rather than to suffrage.
I'VE believe that there is a growing
recognition Of the fact, that, instead of
being a social advance, woman suffrage
is part and parcel of that great retro
grade movement which seeks to destroy
the orderly organization Of society and
reduce it to the absolute individualism
which characterizes only the lowest
form Of social life.
Advanced socialism is anarchisnl,'
one Of our most conspicuous advocates
has recently said, a state of society
without law, without institutions, with
no bond Of union or principle Of growth
except unrestrained human impulse; in
short a return to those elementary con-
ditions from which human society or
iginally sprung. We do not believe that
the American people are prepared %
abjure civilization for such a night
mare"

My Fellow Cidzens-I have great
honor in standing on this historic
ground to receive the greetings of my

a larger area than the original thirteen
states to liberty and union forever"
The party then returned to the hotel
for luncheon, and in the afternoon en-

morning in the probate court.
While the terms of the viii have been
closely guarded it is gossip that there will
be many surprises. Mrs. Sells was ec-
centric woman, and this fact is evident ia
the provisions Of her will.
The most surprising thing of all. gos-
sip says is the fact that Willie Sells. the
adopted son, is entirely disinherited.
Rumor says that Mrs. Sells grievances
against her adopted son dates back to her
marriage to Simon Greenspan. Willie
Sells was violently opposed to the mar
riage and he made no secret of his OPP
position, Mrs. Sells was consequently
offended and when she reconstructed the
will she left him out entirely

1t is evident from the terms of the VIII
that Mrs. Sells resented any Interference
or criticism because OF her marriage with
Simon Greenspan. 1t is said that in this
original win a provision leaving SIS

the relative heard OF Mrs. Sells marriaee
she wrote her scOrching letter full az
bitter criticism of her action; Mrs Sells
did not forget the will She hunted it u3
at once and affixed q codicil cutting our

1t has been supposed that Barbara
Tauer, the woman who has been Mrs
Sells companion for ten years. would be
handsomely remembered in the Will. but
it is claimed that she is cut off without

Of Mrs Sells She has served her without
pay and when she died was one of the
chief mourners. The fact that she does
not receive anything from the estate is
one of the strange, uneXpiainable things
in the life of a strange woman.

new TURN TAKEN
Members of Council Don't Want
Appeal Taken.
Majority Sign Order Not to Use
Their Names.
THE CASE MAY FALL.
Suit Was Commenced in Name
of COuncilmen.
Their Action May Make Hazen's
Decision Final.
Appeal Filed in Supreme Court
This Afternoon.

The Hughes appeal in the mandamus
case may fall before it gets to a hearing
in the state supreme court.
A majority of the members of the city
council signed a formal document today
protesting against an appeal which may
mean that the mandamus suit will end
where it is The suit is against the
members of the city council and must
be appealed in their name and when a
majority of the members refuse to have
anything further to do with the case and
request that no appeal be taken it has
the appearance of a. law suit without
clients.
The members Of the council who sign
ed the order refusing to consent to an
appeal of the case are:
Myers, of the Second ward.
Griley, of the Second ward.
Snattinger, of the Third ward
Weber, of the Fourth ward.
Warner, of the Fifth ward
Nichols of the Fifth ward.
In addition to this Councilman Chaney
of the Fourth ward has notified the at
torneys for Hughes that they must not
use his name in the mandamus suit
Ex-Councilmen Belts and Morgan.
who were interested in the original suit
have also signed the order that their
names must not be used in connection
with the appeal.
There are only eleven members of the
city council and consequently six mem
bers constitute a majority. The place
in the Sixth ward made vacant by the
resignation Of Mr.. Hughes has not been
filed.
This document will be used in the
hearing of the motion for a stay in the
supreme court Saturday morning.
APPEAL IS FILED.
The Parker-Hughes mandamus case is
now in the hands of the supreme court.
The attorneys for Col. Hughes took the
case to the higher court on a bill of ex-
ceptions filed this afternoon with a mo-
ton to stay proceedings. The motion to
stay is a request that the council be not
required to obey Judge Hazen's order.
This motion win be heard at $3.50 o'clock
Saturday morning. The court will prob
ably allow the motion which means that
the council will be ordered not to carry
out the order of the district court until
the case is settled. The case will be set
for hearing at the earliest date possible
and then will come up for hearing on it's
merits. The bill of exceptions filed by
the attorneys for Col. Hughes is simply
an appeal from the decision of the lower
court.
