absent yesterday when the House

prevent the requirement of the Os.

SUFFRAGE BILL
PRACTICALLY KILLED
English Parliament Occupied With
Measure Which Has Aroused
Much Interest.

London, March S.-The "Women's
Enfranchisement Bill" which came
up for second reading in the House
today and which was introduced by
Mr.. Dickinson, a liberal, although
practically identical with the meas
ure introduced by James Keir Hardie,
a Socialist, last year, has evoked far
greater interest The bill simply pro-
vides that women shall have a fran
chise upon the same terms upon which
1t is now granted to men.
Had to Promise to Be Good.
The militant tactics of the Woman
Suffragists of recent months and
their bold raids upon the House of
Commons have given the question
prominence which it had hitherto not
attained. The House was crowded
when the debate on the proposed
measure began but only women whose
good behavior was guaranteed by
of Parliament were permit
ted to enter the gallery.
Bill Practically Killed.
Today was simply a repetition OF
the familiar arguments for and
against female suffrage and there was
a complete divergence from the usual
party lines. An attempt was made
to close the discussion but the Speak
er declined to accept the motion and
the opponents of the bill held the floor
until o'clock when the sitting was
closed automatically They thus won
the day as this practically kills the
bill for the present session.

ADAMS TRIAL
COST $4,000

Wallace, Idaho, March S.-The trial
of Steve Adams charged with the mur-

tier, ended last night when the Jury
after being out for thirty.two hours
reported that it could not reach
verdict, its members standing six for
acquttal and six for conviction, X
was discharged by the court.
The trial just closed has been an
expensive one for the county in
which 1t was tried, 1t being estimated
that it has cost over $4,000. Although
the states attorney insists that Adams
will be tried again, presumably al
the October term of court. the gen
era opinion is that he will never
again be tried on the charge of mul-
dering Fred Tyler.
To Testify in Meyer Case.
1t is likely that Adams will be
taken to Caldwell in the next week or
two to testify in the trial of Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, and that in
case they are convicted he may later
be tried as an accessory
Big Fund for Defense.
The trial of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, the officials Of the West
ern Federation Of Miners, will likely
be called sometime in April. Already
the unions over the country including
many Socialists have contributed to a
fund to be used in providing counsel
for the defendants. This fund is said
to have already reached the total of
100000.
This coming trial promises to be
one of the most sensational in the
country, The defendants are charged
with entering into conspiracy which
resulted in the assassination OF the
ex-governor of this state and with
various other crimes.
