Favor a Woman's College.

The proposition to provide for higher
education of women by having at the
University of Virginia a college for their
special benefit, introduced in the house
several days ago, has received the ap-
prevail Of the committee which considered
the matter. The bill expressly stipulates
that there shall not be any co-educatfon
! whatever, but that the women shall have
all the uses Of the classrooms, the serv-
ices of the faculty and access to the
science halls when the male students are
not occupying them.
Alumni Of the university are favoring
the measure, and there is every reason
to believe that the efforts Of the women
will be successful Separate buildings
are to be provided for the use Of the
woman students on property belonging
to the University of Virginia.
Suffragettes Numerous.
bies of the general assembly, and not a
member is allowed to go in or leave the
chamber Of either body unless he shall
run the gauntlet of the women who are
demanding the ballot. But all Virginia
women are not backing the movement.
The matter came up Friday afternoon be-
fore the house committee on privileges
and elections, and for several hours there
was a flow Of oratory, more or less fervid.
when women spoke up and demanded
that they be given the right to vote.
On the other hand, there was read to
the committee a petition from forty we'll
known Women-society women. profess
sional women, saleswomen and stenOg-
raphers-who asked that the legislators
would not seek to vest women with the
ballot They could not see the least rea-
son for such step, and the supporters
of the movement made note OF the
signers and they will become the target
for missionary work. Claim Is being
made that to vest women with the ballot
in Virginia will mean that negro washer
women. servants and others will flock to
the polls thereby giving to negro women
the balance of power.

no other means Of earning q living. Sem
ator Parr says that in the counties
farmers like to serve on juries: that they
often need the money they earn to help
and are proud of the distinction of being
called to serve on 1uries. His bill pre-
vents any person from serving on more
than q single jury during a full twelve
months.
Alleges Doctors Trust.
The jury trust. as It may be termed.
is not the only thing which Senator Parr
has In mind. He ophes that the doc
tors OF the state are in league against
the poor man and the man who will not
pay for professional services. and to
that end he would not allow any man OF
medicine to engage in the practice of his
profession unless he shall swear that he
is not and will not become affiliated with
any association or combination which
gives the names Of persons who do not
see to it that the doctors do not have
black list In any part of the state.
When a physician IL called he must
respond, regardless Of whether the
parties are noted for refusing to pay
bills, and to make q list of those who
are poor pay will become a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine.

Capper Attorneys File Mandamus to
Get Recount of Ballots.

Al e++ernp+ to secure the admission
of a number of rejected ballots IS pelnS

nieht in the Supreme court. The writ

in various Kansas counties and to have

Guided in the returns to be reviewed by

a writ will be stubbornly opposed by
attorneys for George H. Hodges.
In an action fled last night, Capper
attorneys seek to compel the counting
of ballots rejected in Wabaunsee coun-
ty. This suit is directed at the county
clerk. the county commissioners and the
election boards in three townships of
the county. Similar suits affecting
Ness, Coffey, Lyon, Butler, Cloud, Dick
inson Morris and perhaps Leaven-
worth and Wyandotte, are threatened
today. These actions, together with
Capper application to compel the coun-
ty board in Bourbon county, to re-
canvass the returns, will be heard by
the Supreme court at o'clock Monday
morning. In the event the writs are
granted, it will probably mean an adj

mandamus proceedings will be con-
tested by the Democratic gubernatorial
nominee.
1t is probable that the greater portion
of the day Monday will be set aside to
arguments in this case. That will mean
a delay in the work of the state can
wasting board. In event the writ is
granted, there will probably be a long
delay in re-counting the votes in the
affected counties and this would be fol-
lowed by more legal proceedings. If
the court denies the application for
writ, the canvassing board will proceed
with its work on the face of such re-
turns as have been received and are
declared to be legal. On the face of
these returns the board would issue

until the start for Yale field, a few

Strong and Got Him Out of Jail.

The Rev. w. L. Beers. who is
charged with being responsible for the
death of his wife ten days ago, was
released from the county jail last night
upon a bond signed by thtrty-two of
his parishioners being filed, covering
the $4,000 asked. Twenty-one of the
signers qualified for 5000 each and ten
others qualified for 500 each. The
other name was given without figures.
The total amount of the bond filed was
5000 in excess of the amount required.
A number of those who signed the
bond are said not to have attended
church, or even been inside of a
church for ten or fifteen years. They
knew the minister, however, and were
anxious, they said, to help secure his
release.
Last night after the minister was
