FOR BROTHER
YOUNG WOMAN SAID TO HAVE
ROBBED THE CHURCH.
Took Money Being Raised BY Clean
ers' Society to Purchase
New Organ.

Bloomington, H., Feb. 15.--A ire
mendous sensation was created here
this afternoon by the arrest OF Miss
Helen Dixon, a pretty girl VINO for
two years has been treasurer of the
Cleaners Society of the Second Chris
tian church. it being alleged that she
had embezzled $1,000 of the church
funds.
she was the custodian of money
that had been earned by the society
in various ways, the money to be APP
piled upon the payment of a new or
gan. This organ had just arrived al
an expense of $4,000. When Miss
Dixon was asked for the money in
her possession, she could give no re-
ply, simply stating that she had
nothing to say regarding it.
Late last night Miss Dixon broke
her silence and confessed that all the
money had been sent to her brother,
but she could not tell where he was
located. She said that he had APP
pealed to her at various times for
money, promising to pay 1T back and
that she did not have the heart to
refuse MIN. She believed that when
he knew of her plight into which she
had fallen that he would raise the
money and ave her released.
It finally became necessary To
place her under arrest this afternoon
Miss Dixon came here from Michi-
gan, where her parents are supposed
to reside. She is also said to have a
brother in Chicago.

Chicago Feb. 15.-With the light
of battle in their eyes 200 women
from the various states in the union,
have assembled in Chicago to meet,
discuss, and resolve that women
should no longer be deprived of the
right to the ballot. This is the thir-
ty-ninth year the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage association has
done this, but the hope of the bright
er day in the near future is none the
less strong.
The main features TO be brought
up during the convention, as decided
on last night, we're:
Establishing of a Susan B. Antho-
ny woman suffrage fund OF 100000
to carry on the work.
Change of date for annual meeting
from spring to fall.
Concentration of the lecturers and
in Oklahoma with the hope
that by a referendum vote women
may be Included as electors
Renewed activity in New York,
West Virginia, Indiana and South
Dakota, where woman suffrage bills
are now pending in the legislatures.
Extend in every way the call for
the submission to the people of a
sixteenth amendment to the federal
constitution which, if passed, would
give women the same right to vote
that men nave.
Among the delegates are many

BOYS THINK OF SUMMER.
Baseball Outfits Brought TO Light

Healthy school boys seem to be
about the only residents of Paducah
unmindful of the epidemic of grip,
and changeable weather, and are talk
ing matters in their regular course.
The first touch of real warm weather
two days ago set them to thinking of
summer, and baseball outfits were
brought from their storage places,
and for the past two days boys play
ing catch is a common sight at the

made.

Women's Suffragists Meet in Chicago
And Discuss Means to Promote Cause

women from the south, VIII advance
the argument that woman suffrage
will solve the race question. In sup
port of this they declare there are
100000 more white women In the
south than there are negro men ana
women together. and if the fran
chise is extended to women the
whites will have ballot supremacy
of 600, 900 plus the entire white male
vote.
Great things the expected Of the
Susan B. Anthony woman suffrage
fund, providing the suggestion is
adopted by the convention. 1t is to be
100000, but thus far only $1,000
of this has been obtained, and that
through the bequest of 'mere man. -
The $1,000 was given the association
in the will of the ,ate Col d. r. An
thony, the lighting editor" of Leav-
enworth, Kas., who was a brother of
Susan B. Anthony An effort will be
made, however, to interest Mrs. Rus
sell Sage. Hetty Green, and othei
millionaire women.
II was a blow to the suffragists
when their efforts to have the fran
chise extended to their sex in the
constitution of Oklahoma were de-
feated. The only hope left there is
the initiative and referendum clause,
and by agitation it is believed the
question can be placed squarely be-
fore the "men people,"

London, Feb. 15.-The use OF
nightcaps, which were discarded half
a century ago, except by elderly wo-
men. is being revived by fashionable
English ladies. According to Diapers
Record, headgear of that kind is be-
coming an Indispensable part of a
woman's wardrobe. The nightcap OF
1907 is dainty combination of cam
brio, lace and frills, with colored rib
bons and rosettes. The revival is
ascribed partly to doctors and partly
to elaborate coiffeurs.
