BOSTON, Sept 6-"No babies, no

Equal Suffrage Association Indignantly
today. 1t is all nOnsenset"
She is herself the mother OF three
beautiful children. She said.
Il have never seen more ideal homes
more ideal mothers. than among my
suffTagist friends.
There is no more reason that women
should be prohibited from voting be-
cause they have no children than are
men, and there are many men who are
childless and yet who vote tnteIligently
and cOnscientiously every year
"A woman should be no more re-
stricted by the number OF children she
has than tie number OF hands and feet
she has She ought TO be allowed TO
vote because she is an entity in herself
who has the same right and the privi-
lcge Of voting that q man has and for
the same reason that he has"

Their homes are frame houses, well
furnished, often built high upon the
mountain side but always close to a
stream.
The mountains extend the full
length of the coast, the cities and
villages nesting in the little valleys
along the beach. These mountains
are ragged and rough, beautiful and
majestic, forming one long panorama
that beggers description. Here n
is overwhelmed by the wonders and
ganGeur of natur and the soul is
thrilled by the beauties that tongue
and peen fail to portray.
Beyond the mountains in the inter
ior, the country is more level and
the finest kind of wheat fields cover
thousands of acres.
Each ear discovers some new
grain or fruit that can be adapted
to the Alaskan climate, for the re-
sources of the country are not yet
dreamed of. The illusion that this

fast disappearing and as the natural
resources and advantages become
better known, new industries spring
up and ere many years pass by it

the people, their customs, modes of
life, the beautiful legends that tell
so much of their history and beliefs;
of the interesting people me meets,

MURDER TRIAL
ON AT W APELl1
CHARLES BROWN FACES JURY
FOR ALLEGED STAYING OF
HIRAM CAKES.

Wapello, Nov. Especial. THE
state has rested in the case of Charles
Brown of Fredonia, who is on trial
here for the murder OF Hiram Cakes.
q promininet citizen of Columbus
Junction last August
The prosecution yesterday called
to the stand Dir. f.. A. Hubbard and
~. w. Pence of Columbus Junction.
who attended Mr.. Cakes after he was
injured These gentlemen testified
that post morten examination which
they had held showed that Cakes
death was due to a blood clot on the
brain and to the destruction of the
brain tissues. They said that his skull
had been fractured at the back of the
head. They also declared that there
was no mark Of external violence on
his face, where Brown is supposed to
have struck him.
The alleged murder occurred in Co
lumbus Junction the latter part OF
August Brown walked UP to Fl. G.
Cakes, a citizen of that place, struck
him q violent blow in the face, knock
/ ing him from the sidewalk. Cakes fell
a distance of about three feet, strik-
| ing the back of his head on stone or
cement crossing. He died about SO
hours later from the effects of the in
iuries received from the fall and the
blow. The cause Of his death as stated
Iby physicians, was destruction of the
brain tissues at the back and front
Of the brain and frecture at the base
of the brain. The trial of the case will
likely take up considerable time and
will create a great deal of interest
iamong the residents of the county.
After the blow was struck by
Brown, he disappeared and was gone
several days. One evening about IL
O'Clock he appeared at the county, jail
and gave himself up to the authorities
He stated he did not know that Cakes
had died as result of the blow until
he heard 1t over in Illinois, and he i'm
mediately retraced his steps and gave
| himself up.
