Physicians who examined the body

improving American trade with South

ally he negotiated a reciprocity treaty
betwe IN Argentina and America that
gave great promise OF mutual benefit
to the business interests of the two
countries. but this treaty failed of rat

One of his most important achieve

rings and the other for consuming a
cigarette in the fewest whiffs without

HANLY FOR sUFFRAGETTEs.
Declares Women's Votes Would Settle
Prohibition Question.

Worcester. Mass. Special: J. Frank
Hanly, former Governor OF Indiana, is
an out-and-out advocate of woman's
suffrage This was brought out in an
interview prior to his delivering an adj
dress before the Economic Club.
The former governor believes that
the suffrage movement would be
good one to bring about prohibition.
II believe women should have a
vote" he said They are as much
concerned in the liquor question as
men. In my state 65 per cent OF the
population is rural. In the rural sec
tons the women who lead simple
lives would vote against the saloon.
"In the cities, where women use
liquor, they would not vote against its
sale. On this vital question it would
depend on the character of the women
like the men.
Yes, they should be given a vote,
and they would vote right on the
liquor question

ECHO OF FERRER EXECUTION

London. Gable: The red flag was
raised in London Sunday afternoon
and large mob moved upon the Span
ish Embassy to make a demonstration
OF its disapproyal of the execution of
Prof. Francisco Ferrer. the convicted
Revolutonist, at Barcelona a few days
ago.
Several bodies of police were sta
toned at the approaches to the en-
bassy and drove off the crowds in their
usual bloodless, effective way.
Considerable excitement and I'M
oasiness pervaded the neighborhood
The groans and hootings were plainly
heard in the embassy and at Bucking-
ham Palace near by.
The trouble began with a mass meet
ing in Trafalgar Square. which was or
ganized by several Socialist and Labor
bodies Several hundred of the mem
bers of these organizations marched
to the square carrying red flags draped
with crepe and bearing inscriptions
denOuncing King Alfonso.
A black-bordered banner was raised
against the Nelson column with big
letters that could be read from afar;
TO hell with the murderer Alfonso. :"
After j. r. Green. secretary of the
Friends OF Russian Freedom" had
called the meeting to order. he read a
telegram from the Countess of War
wick. saying:
No words are too strong 10 express
Europes horror at the murder of Fer
rer"
Several laborite members Of Parlia-
ment delivered strong orations. Vic
tor Grayson Of Manchester. the Social
list member, capped the climax by de-
claring that if the head OF every king
Of Europe was torn from his body il
would not pay half the price of Fer
rer's life.
He called the Russian Emperor "A
dirty monster" and said that King Ed
ward. who could have prevented the
execution. was responsible for what
ever might happen in England as a re-
suit OF IT, He demanded the expulsion
of the Spanish ambassador.
The Socialist Societies, carrying
their banners. then marched in good
order TO the Spanish Embassy singing
revolutionary songs and hooting King
Alfonso A great rabble panied
them. filling the streets.
1t was dark when they reached the
open square in front of the EN- bassy.
and they found that the square was
filed with platoons OF police. The
embassy windows were dark and there
was no sign OF life there. The police
would not let the procession enter the
square or even stop. The crowds were
turned back and kept moving up Vic
toria street toward the Parliament
buildings. singing, shouting and groan-
