STORM CAPITAL.
LEGISLATORS ARE BEsIEGED BY
FAIR sUFFRAGIsTs WHO DE-
MAND THE BALLOT.

Springfield, H., April IA. -(Spec-
1al.) After triumphant journey
across sShe corn belt of Illinois from
Chicago to the capital city, the mem
! bers of the equal suffrage lobby to-
day have invaded both houses of the
legislature and are busy importuning
every member to pledge his vote TO
support the woman suffrage bills now
pending before the assembly. The OBJ
stacles in the path of the women poll
ticians have been but few.
One minor note of discord has been
heard, but it does not deserve en-
phasis and would receive no notice if
it were not for the fact that the suf-
fragists themselves desire some at
tention to be paid to it. If it were not
for this desire the incident might safe
ly be passed over, but the suffraglsts
are of the opinion that full publica-
tion of the details, however much
temporary inconvenience they may
cause one Of the leading members OF
the movement, will be advantageous.
Think Letter Will Help Cause.
1T is their opinion that publication
will serve to illustrate completely and
adequately the hollowness of argu-
ment used against the suffrage cause
by unreasoning men, and they be-
lieve that Mrs. Guerney Stubbs, VINO
is at the head of the Springfield suf-
frage lobby, can afford to be the vic
tim of the incident that it may serve
this good purpose.
Mrs. Stubbs is the wife of a Chicago
physician, and this caused some con-
fusion when members of the legisla-
ture received letters signed by James
q. Stubbs, M. D., protesting vehement
~ against the cause. DR.. Stubbs' Ian
gauge was of kind described by the
Buffragists as immoderate. 1t was be-
yond dispute emphatic, and as soon as
the suffrage special arrived efforts
were made to ascertain if by any
chance DR.. James E. Stubbs was Mrs
Stubbs' husband.
"Dr. James E. Stubbs?' said Mrs
F. Gurney Stubs, interrogatively. %
no, he's not my husband. He is my
father-in-law He does not see this is
sue as we see it, but my husband is in
perfect agreement with me-
Subsequently il was agreed by the
leading suffragists that DR.. James T.
Stubbs' communications might serve g
good purpose for the cause, If giver
Dut, to disclose the unreasoning char
Rcter Of the opposition. DR.. James e
stubbs, who is thus identified, warned
the legislators not to fall victim tt
the "siren suffragists," and expressed
his opinion that it was not to be won
dered at if '1ustrous eyed cyprians'
found favor in the eyes of mankind.
Says "Female Women" Don't Wan
Vote.
In part his protest was as follows:
t'I am aware that there are quite ;
number of female men in your honor
able body who are in favor of the bal
lot for women. Now, let me say tha
where there is one male woman there
are hundreds of female women who d.
not want the franchise. | notice :hs

OBJECTED NAMES
NOW REACH 500
DEFENSE IN PETITION CASE MAX
ING STRONG FiGHT-sAY MANY
SINGERS DID NOT VOTE.

A formidable array Of 500 names,
signed to the petition to revoke the
mulct license in the city, have been
objected to by the attorneys for the
defense in the trial in progress be-
fore Judge G. w. Vermilion of the
district court. EARLY this afternoon
the presentation of the challenged
names was completed and recorded by
the court. Practically all the sigma
lures challenged are on the grounds
that the men did not vote at the last
general election.
A legal battle to substantiate the
objections is being waged this after
noon, the attorneys for the plaintiff
holding that although many of the men
who signed the petition did not actual
ly vote they were really legal voters at
the time and that their signatures
should therefore have weight.

| A correspondent in yesterdays bal
letin called attention to the sections
of city ordinances governing tht
tspeed at which automobiles may bt
driven in the city.
1t is in order to state that the
speed of automobiles In all cities il
Illinois is governed by state Law
which stipulates as follows.
One mile in ten minutes when
turning corner or intersectine
streets or cross roads, and one mile
in four minutes where any street,
road or highway PASSES through the
residence portion of any incorporated
town, city or village.
A speed of one mile in six minutes
where such street or highway passes
through closely built up business por-
lions of any town, city or village.
Elsewhere and except as otherwise
provided in sub.sections tabov9
quoted) a speed of one mile in three
minutes: Provided, however, that
nothing in this section contained
shall permit any person to drive "a
motor vehicle at a speed greater than
is reasonable, having regard to the
traffic and use Of highways, so as TO
endanger the life or limb or iniure

Racing on public highways IS alb.

The law above quoted was APP.
proved and became effective in 1903
and governs over all city ordinances.
Ii offers ample protection to citizens,
but it is violated in Cairo every day
