Lady Cook of England, For

ibY Morning journal Special Leased Wire !
Washington. Feb 9.-Lady Cook of
England, formerly Miss Tennessee
ClaGin had an audience with Presi-
dent Roosevelt making a plea to the
president for his support of the move
ment TO- give suffrage to women
"My interview with the president
was a most charming one. i can un-
derstand how his wonderful popular
ity with the people. | feel chat | have
been amply repaid for my trip to
America declared Lady Cook after
the conference.
Lady Cook and Olive Logan called
ON the president on a tWo-fold mission
their principal object being to discuss
with him the question of suffrage for
women
The president expressed his regret
that ne could do nothing for Olive
Logan, who sought a position in the
congressional library because of a
defect i'm her hearing
Lady Cook came to the relief of her
friend by providing her with a home
in England SO that her declining years
may be more comfortable.
The interview was not confined to
the question of suffrage. 1t covered a
broad range of subjects in which the
president is interested. such as mar
riage and divorce. the perpetuation of
the race ana kindred questions.
The president told me he had tne
greatest admiration for women" said
Lady Cook. "and declared We are the
power behind the throne"
Lady Cook stated that She pointed
out TO the president that lnasmuch as
aliens and the negro race have been
given the right of franchise she could
not see why women should not be ac-
corded the same privilege.
President Roosevelt led me to be
Iieve that If after careful study of the
question Of suffrage for women he
thought it would advance them he
would lend his influence. in behalf of
the measure.
"The president told me he did not
see that much good came of a result
IF giving women the voting privilege,
where it had been extended To them.
He could not see that the mere fact
IF them having this right is going to
bee their Tedpmptf "

By THE JOURNALS SPECIAL Wire.
CHICAGO. Aug. s-The Standard Oil
Company Of Indiana. won a victory
over the government to-day when
Judge Grosscup. of the United States
Circuit Court granted it writ of
error. This means that the case in
which judge Landis fined the oil trust
S29.240.0o0 win be taken to the United
States Court of Appeals
The oil trust Attorney also appealed
for a writ of supersedeas. but this was
denied by Judge Grosscup He said
he would not grant this at present.
Government attorne-s demanded that
a bond be given by the Standard Oil
Company to cove the fine imposed up
on it. 10 this the trust attorneys
strenuously objected on the ground
that such a proceeding would be ur-
reasonable.
They claimed the caoital stock Of
the company is only S1.0OO,OO0 and as
sets amount TO few million of doll
lars. Attorneys for the government
told Judge Grosscup that the assets
in their opinion are worth $1,000, 900.
