WOMEN BARRED
AS LAWMAKERS
Colorado Will Have No More
Equal SuffTagiStS, Men
Say
Say
PUBLIC IS AGAINST IT

DENVER. Nov. 14-There will be no
women in the Legislature next January
Four of the fair sex wanted seats in
the lower house, but they went down
to defeat November G. It was sale
this morning by recognized leaders Of
both big parties that no woman again
would be nominated for legislative
office. They said they were in touch
with the public pulse. and that women
we're not wanted for office. These
same leaders assert that equal suffrage
IN Colorado rapidly is becoming a farce
In spite Of the peppery assertions To
the contrary, and that the rank and file
Of citizens, women included. wish the
fair sex eliminated from the political
game.
-Four women ran for the House OF
Representatives recently. Three Of
them were 'on the Democratic ticket
and one was on the Socialist. but an
were defeated. Never in the history
Of Colorado has a woman been elected
TO the State Senate. And no woman
ever will be, according to the party
leaders,
It was in Waite's administration. in
1895, that equal suffrage was granted
10 residents of Colorado. The follow
ing Legislature in 1895 had three wo-
men members of the House. Those
were the first women legislators in the
State. Mrs. Holly. a Republican, in
troduced and had passed the now wei
known age-of-consent law. Two years
after the lower house had two women
members, while in 1899 there were -four
women members. In 1908 Mrs. Alice NJ
Ruble Of Denver was the only woman
member Of the Legislature. Since
then no woman has won a seat in the
State Assembly halls
From the foregoing It will be seen
that nine different women have been
elected to the house. Mrs. Evangehne
Heartz served twice. Pueblo is the
only county outside OF Denver that has
supplied amy women legislators for
Colorado. Mrs. Hearth. i'm her service
in the Assembly introduced about a
dozen bills, most Of them relating to
union labor, and most of which never
became laws. Arbitration and en-
ployers' liability measures were the
main ones.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The conviction that In some sort of fash
ion 1t Is the intention of steam railroads to
make either or both sides of the Potomac
river in the vicinity of Georgetown center
of freight or passenger traffic is one that
does not seem to be readily shaken A cir
cumstance that may tend to strengthen 1t
Is found by some In the revival OF the bill
ma king certain changes in the chartered
rights of steam railroad that is authorised
to build line this side of the Potomac
river from the vicinity of the Little Falls
to the vicinity Of the Aqueduct bridge.
The Importance of this lies in the fact
that 1t forms a link in series of roads
which are. 1t Is said. controlled by the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and will when
built. form a continuous line from the
Metropolitan branch at Linden along the
border Of the District to the neighborhood
OF the Little falls, and thence along the
river to the AQueduct bridge and thence
along Water street to Rock creek.
At the present time no portion of this
road is operated except a small section that
extends from Linden TO the vicinity OF
Chevy Chase. 1t Is. of course. not known
whether any OF the much-talked-of plans
for making some point on the southern sioe
of the river opposite the city a railroad ter
minal are to be carried out or not. but It
would seem that II anything of the sort
was to be done Ii would be necessary, IN
order to make the connection effective, that
south of the Aaueduct bridge.
There was very little interest taken in
trading at the meeting Of the stock ex-
change today, and the usual listlessness or
the Saturday half holiday was apparent.
This was added to on this occasion by an
access. II possible, of the indifference noted
as one Of the features of the market for
some time past.
There was but slight trading. as there
were apparently no orders, and so there
was comparatively but little done. No ex-
PLANTATION Is given of this condition and Its
continuance except the usual one. and that
is the scarcity Of money for use as loans.
1t Is rather difficult to find exactly what
the situation Is in that respect. as one au-
thorfty says that the banks are all loaned
up, while others claim that finding there
was no use here for portion of the funds
in local Institutions that 1t has been sent
away to New York.
The financial situation continues TO be
pretty good, as far as what are known as
available resources are concerned, for II is
stated by those who are interested in the
National City Bank. that began business
the middle of December. that the deposits
now amount to about $780, goo.
or course. may be said that this money
came from other Institutions, and that IL
does not mean an actual increase In the
banking resources of the city, but on the
other hand it is thought that good per-
centage represents funds that were not III
cluded in the deposits of any local institu-
ton.
