CANNON SURPRISES GAINES
Sends Sergeant-at-Arms to Keep
TennesSeean in Order.
Each Man Accused of Insulting the
Other-Peace Was Not Restored
Till the Mace Was Brought. =

Washington, D. ca sharp clash
between Representative Gaines (Dem.,
TENN and Speaker Cannon occurred
in the House of Representatives in
the course of which each claimed he
had been insulted by the other. So
persistent was Mr.. Gaines in address,
ing the chair when declared out of
order that the Speaker directed the
Sergeant-at-arms "to compel him to
be in order" Promptly obeying the
directions of the Speaker, the Ser
geant-at-arms, for the first time in
several years, took the mace from its
Gaines, but the Speaker called him
back upon hearing the Tennessee
member say he would be in order.
The trouble arose during the read
ing Of the General Deficiency Appro-
interrupting with question, and
was held to be out of order.
II did not know I was not in or
der" Mr.. Gaines remarked.
The Speaker, with some warmth,
said that Mr. Gaines had been mem
Der of the House long enough to
know that he was not in order.
1T takes a student like the
Speaker" retorted Mr.. Gaines, to
know what the rules are, and he has
to study them every minute with
somebody to prompt him."
"The gentleman from Tennessee,
the Speaker holly replied, lis abso-
lutely discourteous and misstates the
facts"
BY this time both men were thor
oughly wrought up.
"The gentleman from Tennessee"
came back Mr.. Gaines, lis no more
discourteous than the Speaker is dis
courteous to him, and the gentleman
from Tennessee has not misstated the
facts
"The chair desires at all times to
be as impartial as he can, but the
practice has grown up occasionally
for member, on the supposition that
the Speakers tongue is tied, to insult
him, and the Speaker will not sub
NIT to it,
1.-THE tongue of the gentleman from
Tennessee is tied, and he is insulted
by the chair. The Speaker has done
it for twelve years" replied Mr..
Gaines.
The Speaker commanded Mr..
Gaines to be in order.
'The Speaker will be in order,
too was Mr.. Gaines fling.
Unable longer to stand Mr.. Gaines
taunts, the Speaker ordered the Ser
geant-at-arms "to see that he remains
in order" 1t was then that the mace
was taken down.

SUFFRAGETTES GLAD
TO GO TO PRISON
AristOcratiC Women Exchange
Fine Raiment For Prison Garb.
REFUSE TO GIVE PEACE BONDS
81 Am a Woman, Not a Coward, !"
Says One to the ssInsulting' Al
ternative-Lady Constance Lyt-
ton, One OF the Leaders.

London.-The twenty-eight suffra-
gettes who were arrested while trying
to thrust petition urging their
cause on Premier Asquith, were sen
fenced to Imprisonment
Most of them are well educated;
many are of aristocratic birth. All
received with equal fortitude the
commitment to the second division, Z"
as the manner of their Incarceration
is termed in English penology.
That means that these devoted
women must exchange their fashion
able gowns for the rough and I'M
couth prison raiment, dotted with
broad arrows, significant of guilt, as
are sthe stripes in America. Their
food will be the ordinary prison fare
of thin porridge, watery cocoa, and
a small allowance of meat and pota-
lowed to communicate with each
other, and must exercise in single file
in the prison courtyard.
Despite this prospect all the women
went to captivity with every outward
sign of cheerfulness. They might
have given bonds to keep the peace
and escaped Imprisonment They re-
jected the alternative, which they
pronounced insulting.
Said one: ITO suggest that / be
bound over is to intimate that l am
a towards The fact is am wom-
an"
Lady Constance Lytton, sister Of
Lord Lytton and daughter of a for
mer Viceroy of India (whose fathers
Last Days of Pompeii" and other
works have delighted so many,
warned her friends that if they got
her released by providing bail she
would repeat her offense.
Twenty-seven women were sem
fenced to Imprisonment for one
month An exception was made in
the case of Mrs. Pothick Lawrence.
who, having been previously con-
victed of the same offense, was sem
fenced to two months Imprisonment.
Mrs Lawrence briefly addressed
the court in behalf of the other suf-
fragettes. She asked the magistrate
to note that the arrested women do
not belong to The breaking
classes. but are women of honorable
reputation, and that many of them
have done service FOR the welfare of
the community. Mrs. Lawrence de-
clared that they were entitled to be
treated as political prisoners.
Among the others convicted are
Miss Lawless, Miss Stratford Dugdale,
daughter of Commander Dugdale and
cousin of the Hon. William r. W.
Peel, who was elected i'll bye-elec-
ton as member of the House of
Commons for Taunton; Miss Solo
mon, daughter of the ex-Premier of
Cape Colony, and Mrs. Catherine
Elizabeth Corbett, an aristocratic
supporter of the movement.

WOMEN At STATE CAPITOL
Suffragists and Anti-Suffragists
at Albany, N. Y.
Delegation Pleads For Submission OF
Amendment Striking the Word
''MaIe" From Suffrage Clause.

Albany, NJ Y.-The slow but
steady rise in the movement for
woman suffrage was well exemplified
when the forces for and against it
marshalled themselves in the Assem-
bly, Chamber for the annual debate on
the proposed constitutional amend
ment, whose adoption twice by the
Legislature, and then by the people
at general election, would eliminate
from the constitutional description of
the qualifications of voter the sin
gle restrictive word, male" For
twenty years and more this occasion
has been one of the annual field days
IN the Legislature. The procedure
has been the same year after year,
and the result the same, but with
this Observation-Disclosures in former
years the occasion was regarded by
the Legislature more or less as
farce, now it is an increasingly seri-
Gus matter Formerly it was brave
legislator or politician who showed
serious tolerance for the idea of CIV
ing the unrestricted ballot to women;
now an equal courage would be re-
quired for strong position against
it.
There is little prospect of the pass
age OF the proposed amendment this
year. AS usual, it will probably be
passed in one branch and buried in
the other, but the private comments
of prominent legislators make in
creasingly clear the fact that in this
State the politicians will give the bal
lot to women when majority of the
women are themselves convinced that
they desire it, Even if the Legis.a-
ture should adopt the amendment
this year, 1t would have to be passed
again in 1911 Chat is, by two differ
ent and successive Senates), and
could in no case be submitted to the
people for approval before the gen.
eral election of 1911.
The Rev. Anna H. Shaw, president
of the National Suffrage Association,
did one important service for the suf-
fragists when, with marked clearness
of thought and decision, she pointed
out that what the suffragists want is
not that the Legislature should give
women the ballot, but that they
should give them the opportunity to
present the project for the judgment
of the people.
The great Assembly chamber pre-
sented bright appearance when the
time came for the joint hearing
Whether welcome or not, to the argu-
ments of the suffragists was added
the presence and the eloquence of a
group of Socialists, plain of dress and
serious of mien, with whom universal
suffrage, regardless of sex, is cardi-
nal principle. In accordance with the
general legislative custom. the first
part of the hearing was devoted to
the arguments of the opposition.
Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, of New
York, had charge of the opposition
and announced the names Of the
speakers on that side; the speakers
for the suffragists were announced
by Mrs. Henry Willard, of New York.
Each side was given two hours for
the presentation arguments. The
first speaker for the ants was Mrs.
William Forse Scott, of Yonkers.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions Of things. New ideas
often lead to better health. success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered
from coffee drinking, were sleepless
nervous, sallow, weak, and irritable
MY wife and / both loved coffee and
thought it was bracer" (delusion)
Finally. after years of suffering
we read of Postum and the harmful
ness of coffee. and believing that tc
grow we should give some attention
to new ideas, we decided to test Pos
tum.
When we made it right we likec
it and were relieved of ills caused By
coffee. Our friends noticed the
nge-fresher skin. sturdier nerves
better temper, etc.
these changes were not sudden
but relief increased as we continued
to drink and enjoy Postum, and we
lost the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg, until it was dark and rich they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's

taneous cheer when the sailors first
came into view behind an escort of
coast artillery from Fortress Monroe.

BIG DEMAND FOR PossUMs.
Animal PopuIarized by Taft Dinner
Now Held at $40 Each.

Atlanta, Ga.-So great is the de-
mand for possums in the North since
the Taft banquet here that the mar
supials are bringing $40 each, ire
spective of what they weigh or how
old they are, and dealers are unable
to get half enough to supply the de-
mand. Prior to the visit of Presi-
dent-elect Taft possums could be got
for fifty cents each and were retailed
for 81. Then they could be had very
easily. Now it is different. One
order was received here for $50 pos
sums at $40 each and an order came
from Hartford, Conn, for lao pos
sums.
1t is not for eating that the pos
sums are desired, but for pets. Re-
publican societies and social func-
lions now being given in the East
ern cities call for possums and they
are all being ordered from Atlanta.
To fill the demand scores of pos
sum hunters are busy in Georgia.
