Bill TO Be MISUNDERSTANDING
Amendment To Be Proposed
tBy Cable to The Tribune.

10y Cdole 70 The Tribune
London. June 12.-Premier Asqulth an
nounced in the House Of Commons to-
day that franchise reform bill would
be introduced at an early date. The bill
as drafted will give one man one vote
on short residential qualification with
the simplest possibf form Of registra-
tion, the latter being at the public ex-
pense. clause fixing all the elections
for one day may be added.
The official woman suffrage amend
ment to the bill cannot be Forthcoming
until the bill is printed There will prob
ably be some limitation regarding
women voters. Simple adult suffrage.
without reference to sex, cannot be put
forward with any hope Of success, since
such course would give the register in
each constituency a majority of women.
This matter Is likely to cause trouble.

CHICAGO ALUMNI.

Fourteen Alumni and former stu
dents of Alma College met for an
informal luncheon in the east tea
room OF Fields store in Chicago,
Saturday, February cath The meet
inc was called as an annual affair
by Ambrose b. Wight, 95, Principal
of the Talcott School and President
OF the Alma College Association Of
the Northwest. The meeting was in
formal entirely, no set program be-
ing prepared, the business of the day
being a plain discussion of the needs
of Alma and the best opportunities
of service by the Chicago Alumni.
Mr.. Hurst. Field Secretary of the col
lege, was present and was called upon
for an address. He brought greetings
from Alma and told of the progress
of the college during the past year.
He then answered questions from
everybody in regard TO the college OF
the present and the prospect for the
future, Every member present arose
in turn and told of his work the past
year after which there was free
for-all' list OF speeches, in which var
ious members of the company were
called upon. Among those who de
livercd brief addresses were Ira NJ.
Hatch, Ambrose b. Wight, Rev J. /.
Mcbride and Rev George y. Hill.
Every remark OF the whole afternoon
expressed feelings OF loyalty TO the
Alma Mater, and it is safe TO say
that Alma can always expect the
strongest support OF her Chicago
Alumni
1t was regretted that several mem
berS, who planned on being present at
the gathering, were detained on ac-
count of business.
All members of the company eN-
pressed the deepest regret because
of the resignation of DR. Bruske from
the presidency, and a committee was
appointed TO send letter of apprc-
citation 10 the president The expires
Sions OF all showed to what an eN-
tent President Bruskc has endeared
himself in the hearts OF former men
and women at Alma. and that the af-
lection OF the present student body
is an indication of what has existed
during the past twcnty-one years

Rich, He Died Poor.

Atlanta Journal.
1t was the aspiration of Dr. Daniel
Kimball Pearsons, a frugal and hard
working millionaire, to die poor He
has achieved his ideal At the age of
90 he has passed out of the world,
leaving scarcely a fragment of the
large fortune he had accumulated but
in it's stead a memory rich in good
deeds. Years ago he had distributed
the greater portion of his wealth
among American colleges and he
seems to have favored especially those
Institutions that were lean of endow-
ment and were struggling for head
way.
There was an old mixture of gray
realism and luminous fancy in the doc
tors makeup. He delighted in max
ing money; indeed it appears to have
been his keenest enjoyment; yet he
cared little for it's possession. He was
accustomed to speak rather proudly of
the fact that in all his life he never
spent twenty dollars foolishly. "I
went to the theatre only once" he de-
clared, "and then 1 was ashamed of
