WOMEN'S COUNCIL
MEETS IN SEATTLE
THREE MILLIONS REPRESENT
ED IN CONVENTION.
SIXTH TRIENNlAL SESSION
The Council Was Organized In 1888
and Is Composed of % National
Organizations.

Seattle, July 13.-The sixth tri-
ennial session of the National Coun-
ell of Women of the United States
will begin here this evening with a
reception to the officers, delegates
and visitors to the council. The
three days business sessions of the
council will begin tomorrow morn
ing and close on the evening of July
16.
The council is composed of 22 ma
tional organizations. There are also
nine local councils, consisting OF
more than 200 federated societies.
In all more than 100000 women
are represented. The council was
organized in 1888 with Frances e.
Willard as president and Susan B.
Anthony as vice-president at large.
1t represents organized effort along
the lines of education, industry and
philanthropy, as we'll as moral and
government reform.
Among the subjects to be dis
cussed at the present meeting are
the following: Modern methods of
child saving, peace and arbitration,
woman's progress in education, po-
litical equality, divorce reform, laws
concerning domestic relations and
legal status of women and children.

MUST PAY FOR ALL WATER
New Irrigation Rule VIII Cause
Many Settlers to Lose Farms.

Washington, July 12-It has been
made known that under the new reg
ulations recently issued by the in
terror department homesteaders on
government irrigation projects who
have not made full payment for
their water, but who have completed
five years residence, cultivation,
ETC., In full satisfaction of the home
stead laws, will no longer be per-
mitted to sell their entries in whole
or in part, as was permitted by Or
der of Secretary Garfield. Under
the new regulation no settler on a
government project can sell any por-
ton of his entry until he has made
complete payment for the water
This modification, 1t is feared, will
be a hardship to poor settlers, who
heretofore have been allowed to sell
out after satisfying the requirements
of the homestead act. If unable to
complete payments, they will be dis
possessed of their land and forfeit
all payments heretofore made.

Too Much Work for Court.

Olympia-Proof has been brought
which is investigating the Washing
ton state supreme court, that in a
number OF cases the court has in its
decisions seriously misstated facts.
That the court has made numerous
errors in many cases is generally
known to members of the bar This
condition of affairs is attributed to
the immense volume of work the
court has to handle.
Last year there were so cases filed
In the supreme court. With each
case came all the pleadings, tran
script of the evidence, briefs of both
sides and in addition the attorneys
usually made an oral argument to
the court. In one case alone the evil
dence was of such volume that one
Judge spent IA days and nights read
ing 1t, putting in an average of 16
hours a day. If each one of the nine
Judges had been forced to read this
case in full, where would the court
have got in disposing of the 500
cases before it.
Until a few months ago, although
the state supreme court actually had
seven members, it was actually and
practically a "one man" court. That
is to say, in the majority of cases
disposed of of but one justice read
all of the evidence and the record,
although a majority of all of the
court made it a rule to read the
briefs and hear and discuss the oral
arguments.
This enormous work could be OBJ
waited if the legislature were to pass
a law condensing all cases filed, so
that all members of the supreme
court might have the time to read
each one.

SCHIVELY DENIES

HIND LIMITATION STATUTE.
SHIFTS BLAME TO NICHOLS
Insists Senate Is Without Jurisdic-
ton to Hear impeachment
Charges.

Olympia. II. Schively,. insur-
ance commissioner, filed 60 type
written pages in his answer to the
impeachment proceedings which was
served Friday afternoon on Attorney
General Bell.
Pleading not guilty to each and
every one of the &c counts claiming
that the senate court of impeach-
ment is without Jurisdiction to try
the charges; entering a demur to
each count; invoking the statute of
limitations in "a instances; denying
that he has been absent from his Of
flee for extended periods or that he
has brought the office into disrepute
and throwing all the blame onto
Sam H. Nichols, ex-secretary of
state, for acts committed during the
time Nichols was eX-officio state in
surance missioner, Schively filed
answer to the 26 impeachment
charges preferred against him with
the senate by the house of repre-
sentatives.
In addition, Schively asks that II
senators be barred from sitting at
the trial. The first thing set forth
in the answer is the request for the
barring of Senator Paulhamus.
Schively claims that Paulhamus is
biased and holds a personal enmity
toward the accused.
With relation to the charge he
says it is a private matter, outside
of the insurance department, that
1t is pending in the state courts at
Spokane, where he is under indict-
ment, that such courts have jurisdic-
ton and the legislature should not
interfere with that jurisdiction. The
statute of limitation is pleaded as
against some counts, and all of the
counts are declared to charge no
crime and that no issue can be
joined thereon

TAFT'S DEMANDS

Washington-Acc to we'll
Informed members of congress, one
week or ten days will suffice for the
conference committee to reach an
agreement on the tariff bill and the
programme to follow the lines or
the senate bill, as far as can be
done without provoking veto. Inc
president wants free oil, lumber at
81, hides at per cent, with cor
responding reduction on all leather
goods, iron ore free and the corpor-
alton tax put at l per cent instead
of 2. 1t Is safe to assume that the
presidents wishes in these respects
will be granted.
Cheaper cotton and wooden goods
and cheap hosiery and women's
gloves-the former demanded by the
house and the latter by the senate
promise to be among the most stub
bornly fought questions in the con-
gressional conference on the tariff
bill.
Many members express the opin-
ion that the house will yield on cot
ton and wool and senate on gloves
and hosiery in compliance with the
protectionists ideas of standpattism.
If this should be outcome, it is pre-
dicted that vigorous protests would
be made in both senate and house
from the advocates of downward re-
toto

Chicago, July 12.-Illinois has
prospects of taking the lead among
all the states in the ratification of
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution authorizing congress to levy
and collect a tax on incomes.
What sentiment has dubbed to
the surface among the assemblymen,
Republicans and Democrats alike,
appears to be largely in favor of the
amendment, and In case the question
is voted on at the special session
next fall, the leaders assert the
probability Is that Illinois will be
the first of the states to ratify.
