SUFFRAGE UP TO the PEOPLE
RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR POP
uLAR VOTE ON PROPOSED
AMENDMENT UP TO
GOVERNOR.
Galleries Filled With spectators-5.
Proposed Measure Women Are
Allowed Full Rights Of Bal
lot at All Elections.

Topeka, Kan.-The senate passed
the bill putting the question of wo.
man suffrage up to the voters Of the
state. The measure passed was the
house resolution providing for an
amendment to the constitution and
popular vote to determine the matter
The bill was made an emergenc,
measure and considerable discussio
was created. Some slight amendment
were made to straighten out the legai
phraseology and the resolution wa
adopted, 27 to IL, the necessary two.
thirds majority.
The resolution as amended was
messaged back to the house, and that
body, by vote Of SO to 10, concurred
in the senates amendments. Thus the
resolution needs only the governors
signature to complete its legislative
history and place 1t before the people
for final decision at the next genera!
election.
The bill was made a special order
in the senate at 1890 in the morning
Before o'clock the women began
gathering in the senate chamber tt
watch proceedings. Some of them
found seats and patiently sat waitln,
for the cricucal moment to arrive
Others button-holed senators, supply
ing them with literature and urging
them to support the bill. II was no
ticeable that several Of the senators
sought the committee room, where be
hind locked doors they awaited tht
sound of the gavel. BY 10 o'clock the
senate Hobbies were filled.
The moment the bill was presented
Brewster offered an amendment pro
vidlng that the women's ballots have
printed on them the names of the
presidential electors. This was
adopted.
There followed discussion as tt
the legality of the law, in which Judg,
Price depressed to the extent of de
Tending the judiciary from recent at.
tacks by the press and from the stump
1t must be remembered that bill
and a constitutional amendment arc
both required before Kansas women
can have equal rights. If the constl-
tutional amendment is submitted and
then adopted by the people, the women
can vote at all state, county, city,
bond or other special elections. They
now have the right to vote at city
and school elections. But If the
amendment is adopted the women
cannot vote for presidential electors.
If the bill, considered in the senate,
becomes law, the women at the next
election may vote for presidential cleo
tors at the same time as the men.

To Capture Bank Robbers.

The committee on banks and bank
ing introduced bill appropriating

However, the bank commissioner Is
restricted to the offering OF reward
not to exceed $1,000 in any single
robbery. This bill is the result OF a
letter suggesting such plan written
by ]. n. Dolley.

The initiative and referendum was
defeated in the Kansas senate by a

AIaek! The Poor Bank Robber.

Senator Cembern of Neosho county
would not only send bank robbers to
prison for from 10 to so years, as was
provided by a bill passed by both
houses, but he would make them hard
to catch by offering big reward. He
has introduced a bill in the senate au-
thorlzing the state bank commissioner
@ offer a reward Of $1,000 for every
hank robber in this state, dead or
live. Mr.. Cambern, who is a banker
believes this would tend to cut down

Won't Cut Lieutenant Governors Pay

The house killed the bill reducing
the salary of the lieutenant governor
from $7OO to $500 year. The bill had
been recommended for passage in the
committee of the whole but when 1t
came up for final vote it received the
death blow. Democrats and Republi
cans alike voted against it, holding
that the dignity of the office alone en-
titled the lieutenant governor to more
than $500 year.

PREPARING
To FORFEIT
The FRANCHISE

Preparatory to instituting legal pro-
ceedings to forfeit the franchise Of
the Portland, Eugene & Eastern Rail-
road company, Mayor Lachmund has
called a special meeting Of the coun-
ell for this evening for the purpose
Of passing an ordinance repeating the
ordinance passed by the city granting
the franchise 10 the railroad company.
The city attorney, together with
additional counsel employed by the
city, for a week or more have been
looking up legal authorities as to the
procedure to be taken 10 forfeit the
franchise. They finally decided that
before a suit was filed in the court
that It would be necessary for the
council 10 pass an ordinance repeating
the one granting the franchise. and
that is the reason of the special meet
ing A soon as this is done complaint
asking for the forfeiture of the fran
chise will be filed In the circdit court.
Grounds OF lnnullment.
The grounds upon which il will be
sought to have the franchise declared
forfeited are that the company has not
compiled with its terms in providing
street car service on Center street,
and also in failing to install its line
on Front street; and also in failing
to provide the required size of rail Oh
I the Center street track.

TO the robbers.
When the store was opened this
morning Mr.. Gardner found jewelry

boxes and then placed them In the top
of his work bench, the top of which
was closed and locked
