NO WOMAN SUFFRAGE
FOR WELLESLEY BEAUTIES
They Vote Two to | AgaiRS
Voting

Wellesley, Mass, February 4.-We.-
lesley College students by a vote 81
very nearly 2 to l decided today that
woman suffrage had no attraction for
them The students had been ballot
ing since Friday, the question submit
ted being, Are you in favor of the
extension of suffrage to women?"
Replies were received from $50 stu
dents, of whom 293 welcomed the
right to ballot, while 557 concluded
that their present legal status would
not be unbearable.
The result was a great SUI prise to
the one hundred members of the
Wellesley Equal Suffrage League, who
thought the members of an education
al institution of such high standing
as Wellesley would pine for the bal
lot.
The members of the faculty, how
ever, were strongly in favor of the
ballot. Out of 40 replies, SO favored
suffrage, while none opposed it.
The vote by classes on the ques-
ton submitted was as follows 1911,
no, 1O3; yes, SO; 1912, no, 11S; yes,
66; 1918, no, lis; yes, so; 1914, no,
1875; yes, 81.
One feature of the vote was note
worthy The percentage in favor Of
the suffrage increases in direct ra-
ton with the age of the voter. n
the freshman class only % cent. de-
sired the ballot In the sophomore
class the percentage was 80; in the
junior year the percentage increase
to SO, while A per cent. of seniors ia,
vored the ballot Among the facul-
ty so per cent were in favor, thus
lending force to the contention Of
suffragists that as women improve in
wisdom and experience their desire
for the ballot strengthens.

ans club, and will prove very benef-
ctal to the city and the people enter
ing.

EARTHQUAKES CAUSE
OF Mine DISASTERS
A VICTORIA METEOROLOGICAL
EXPERT MAKES STARTLING
DECLARATION

Victoria, b. C., Jan. 27.-That seis-
mic disturbances have an important
bearing on coal mine disasters is the
declaration of F. Napier Denison, of
Victoria, a meteorological official, af-
ter carefully studying the seismolog-
ical records which he has kept for the
last eleven years. He says the great
est period of earth unrest was in
1910, year which saw the great
est number of colliery disasters in
the worlds history. These records
he believes may become of great
practical value Another interesting
development is that the swing of the
pendulum of the millimetre scale has
been continually rising in the last
eleven years, showing an increasing
earth unrest, and if this continues,
Mr.. Denison believes, greater earth
quake disasters are likely to occur
than the earth has ever known.

FIGHTING EXTRADITION
CASE OF JUAN SANCHEZ AZZONA
UP FOR HEARING AT WASH
INGToN

Washington, Jan. 27.-On the dock
ct of the district court today appeared
the case of Juan Sanchez Azzona, a
former member of the Mexican con-
gress and related to several of Mex
icois most prominent diplomatic rep
resentatives, who is fighting against
extradition sought by the Mexican
government on the charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
Azzona has been in custody since De-
cember g. He has repeatedly de-
clared the charge is simply ruse on
the part of the Mexican government
to secure his return to Mexican terri
tory. He admits he was active in STIR
ring up opposition to President Diaz
in the last election and claims that
the newspaper in Mexico City which
he edited was forced to discontinue
publication. His case has attracted
unusual attention among diplomats of
the Latin-American republics.
Azzona was set free this afternoon
by the supreme court of the District
of Columbia. Mexico's demand for
his extradition was refused on the
ground that the requisition was i'm
properly drawn.
