SUFFRAG|STS
ARRIVED BUT
AUTOS DIDN'T.
MISUNDERSTANDING OVER
TRAIN TIME DELAYS PRO-
GRAM, BUT THE LADIES
DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND.

A misunderstanding between
chamber of commerce and North
ern Pacific railway officials
caused considerable delay and in
convenience at the reception of the
national suffrage delegates this
morning. II was intended to take
the visitors from the depot in autos
for ride about the city. The To-
cal suffragists were on hand at the
depot at $50 when the train ar
rived. but there were no autos. A
few were hastily summoned after
the delegation stood about the de-
pot awhile. but most of the visitors
walked down to the chamber of
commerce.
Assistant Secretary Dresher in
formed the gathering that the
Northern Pacific office had noti-
fled the chamber of commerce that
the train would not arrive until
1885 and the autos had been dis
missed until that time. They were
recalled as rapidly as possible. but
the visitors could be taken only in
small attachments. and many of
them had to wait before they were
found conveyances. They accepted
the situation as If it were part of
the regular arrangement. The
mixup delayed the program and the
delegates did not begin to arrive at
the s. A. A. G. until noon for the
scheduled plunge in the tank. No
one is to know how many took the
plunge or anything about it. The
club was tastefully decorated for
the occasion.
The complimentary banquet to
the delegations is set for 2:30 this
afternoon at Davenport's. At 4 p.
m. the delegates will be released,
to do as they please until s a. M,

NO FAVORS FOR
BOY MURDERER
(By United Press)

MODESTO, Cal, June 28.-Dis-
trict Attorney Maddux states that
he favors prosecuting Frank Hop
kins, aged 70, who shot his baby
brother and buried him alive in a
pig pen Wednesday, as he would
prosecute any murderer. A formal
complaint, charging the boy with
murder, will probably be made. He
will be given a hearing and bound
over to the superior court. DR.. w.
F. Green, an expert criminologist
of this city, has made a plaster
cast of Franks jaws and teeth. He
said he found the boys dental con-
dition perfect. The opinion is that
the murder was committed as the
result of inherent brutality rather
than a sudden fit of anger.
