The power Of woman Is being exertcd
IN the matter OF admitting to the Union
as States the remaining strips Of terri
tory OF the country. The strong minded
women OF the country have been bonn
harding the Senate Committee In wash
ington, which have under consideration
the question Of erecting now States and
Increasing the number Of stars on the
flag. The women have gained a point or
two and the committees have so far
agreed to leave to each would-be State
the privilege OF deciding for itself wheth-
er IT. will or will not have woman suf-
frage. The Senate Committee on Ter
ritores could not stand the bombardment
from countless wolnen's clubs and organ
izations throughout the country. And
very Justly these bodies were stirred when
it became known that the new statehood
bill now pending in the Senate clussed
women with paupers, criminals and Idiots
as persons to whom the franchise was to
be denied. Hurrah for the women follSs!
Who can blame them for making q manly
fight along these lines?

MISSISSIPPI CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
Andrew Larson Dives off Boom and
browns in Sight of Companions


I, With eight companions standing near
him Andrew Larson, a young man of
twenty-five years living at 302 Twenty
sixth avenue north. drowned in the Mis-
sissippi river last night near the Itasca
saw mill at Twenty-eighth avenue and
the river, the body being recovered about
an hour later
Larson and several companions had
gathered at the swimming hole, which is
just above the mill, at about 6 o'clock
and We're diving off boom which was
near at hand. Larson dfved without any
of the boys noticing him and the first they
knew of his predicament was when he
cried for help.
When he came up the first time he was
quite close to the boom, but instead of
jumping in after him the others simply
stood on the boom and tried to reach him
with their hands. Before he could reach
the outstretched hands he sank again and
never reappeared.
River men who were at work on the
boom secured a boat and after graphing
for an hour succeeded in locating the body
just where it had gone down the last
time. The body was removed to the
county morgue.
