the aspersions cast on him by Con-
gresham G. M. Fowler, in his open
letter yesterday, Speaker Cannon to-
day said he will make "fur fly" ~hen

talk on the floor and talk lengthily.
Cannon said:

The investigation can have brought
no comfort to the Sutton family.
Hence. the more eager they are to un-
cover the participants in the deadly
deed. Before they are done they may
convince congress that Sutton's COM
panions of that deadly night should
be dropped from the marine corps and
otherwise punished, and that the au-
thorities of the marine school at An
napolis should be taken to task for
failure to enforce proper discipline and
to maintain rigorous order.
Unsatisfactory as the Sutton fami-
Tvs efforts to themselves may be, 1T Is
bound to work for improvement of the
marine school and better conduct Of
the marine corps. The lesson will be
taught that there is no place for ca
rousal and combat within the military
and the marine service. That is not
the way for young men to prove their
brains or patriotism or bravery or
prowess, to say nothing of their de-
cency and good breeding.

Weather Conditions.

The high pressure area that was on
the north Pacific coast has moved in
land with somewhat decreased
strength and a low area has appeared
over the province of Alberta. Fair
weather has prevailed over the Paci-
fic northwest, but light showers fell
over the northern Rocky mountain
slope and as far east as Minnesota.
Heavy showers fell in portions of the
Gulf states. The large area Of nigh
pressure over the Atlantic states has
maintained fair weather generally east
Of the Mississippi. 1t is cooler along
the Rocky mountain slope and warm
or east of the Mississippi. The con-
dtions are unsettled in this vicinity
and point to showers tonight or We'd
nesday.

the assistance of business men of Wal

the case of two young men from Elk

among the substantial young business
men of this state.
During the four years they attend

to secure and saved 81 a week each to
assist their sister in the east to Sc
cure an education. Professor w. A

they didn't throw the rum overheard,
did they?"
But you approve of the motives
that prompted them to throw the tea
overheard, Mrs Belmont"
Certainly. What / mean is that
they foolishly rugged themselves out
as Indians for no reason and there
fore are applauded as heroes / men
ton them to show that neither here
nor in England have we gone to these
extremes. And still we are ridiculed
and we never have dressed as Indians
and we haven't deprived old ladies of

Mrs. Belmont believes that English
women will get the ballot long before
American women will She believes
matter may be settled by vote of
parliament whereas in the States a
popular vote will have to be taken.
Mrs. Belmont dropped remark that
eff we don't get the ballot by quiet
means We'll get it in some other way"
She was asked what she meant.
Il mean," said Mrs Belmont, that
if the republican party and the demo-
cratic party persistently refuse to rec
ognize our claims we shall start in to
organize a powerful third party. No,
l do not mean party of women alone
There are many men throughout the
country who will not vote because of
the candidates that are nominated
These men will join our cause.
Women are not the towards men
are in the matter of voting. We shall
urge those men who now do not vote
at all because of their disgust for the
methods of the parties in power to
join with us. And so the two big par
ties of the country, because of their
disregard for the welfare of the coun-
try, will force us in time, perhaps, to
organize powerful third party that
will compel them to pay attention to
