| TEA GRILL THE
| ASSEMBLY
The Legislators Who Refused
Votes to Women Are
Put on Toaster at
Yellow Tea

IF madly burning ears did not pre-
vail last night among the 81 assem-
lymen of California who voted
against submitting the question of
the voters of the state. it was because
these hardened individuals are totally
lost to all feminine influence. These
81 men were the subjects of indigna-
tion, condemnation or pity, according
to the viewpoints of those speaking at
the yellow tea" given last night by
the Equal Suffrage league at the home
of DR.. Harriet Welch, 1926 Sutter
street, in celebration of the birthday
anniversary Of Susan B. Anthony.
Two minute talks were given by a
number of those present, among the
speakers being Mrs. Mary Gamage,
president of the club; Mrs. Horace
Coffin, Mrs. Hathaway, Mrs. Isabel
johnson, DR.. Minora Kibbe. Mrs. j.
w Felt, Mrs. Alice L. Park and Mrs.
e. H. O'Donnell.
Mrs. Gamage said that if each woman
would go to Sacramento just once she
would see the need of the work that
lies before women so that they may be
represented and not misrepresented as
they are at present Dr. Minora Kfbbe
thought that too much advertising was
done-too much publicity prevailed for
the best good of the cause and it would
be better to conduct the campaign in
a quieter fashion.
Many tales were told as to the diff
culties of interviewing assemblymen
lators in their endeavor to escape dis
cussion.
Jokes were teld, experiences related,
and merriment prevailed throughout
the evening. Fruit punch was served
from a table prettily decorated in yell
low-the national color of the suf-
fragists-and the toast to Miss An
thqny was drunk by her followers.
Posters reading, Women vote for
president and for all other officers in
all elections on the same terms as men
in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho
Why not in California were proudly
displayed.
valentines with a little picture of
Miss Anthony and a verse embodying
her sentiments were presented to each
guest, as we'll as yellow card, on one
side of which were the names OF the
Legislators who voted for suffrage,
while on the other face OF the card
appeared the list of those who voted
against it. This. it was said, was for
future reference. Many changes in the
personnel of the legislature are pre-
dicted for next term, and particularly

BIFFALO-G s. Palo Alto. Cal. Were there
any buffalo in the eastern states, or did they
roam only in the western states?
There were no buffaIoes in either the
eastern or the western states. What
is commonly called the American buf-
falo by Anglo-Americans is the Dos
Americanus" of some naturallsts, ana
the "bison" of others. The bison Is
interesting as the only species or the
OK family indigenous to America, eX-
cent the musk OK 1t is very differ
ent from the buffalo of the old world
For a time the animals were found In
vast numbers in the great prairies be-
tween the Mississippi and the ROCKY
Mountains They were found as far
north as the vicinity of Great Marten
lake, latitude So degrees or 81 degrees
The southern limit appeared to be New
Mexico. They were comparatively rare
west of the Rocky mountains and ap-
pear to have been rare to the east Of
the Appalachians, even on the first
settlement of Europeans. The animals
have been found in the western part
of the state of New York and in large
numbers in the state of Ohio.
