SUFFRAGETTES To KICK OVER
TABLES To GAIN PUBLICITY
Mrs. Edna Cutter OF Kansas City
Urges Chicago Women to Do Sem
satiOnal Things to Advertise Their

Cause.
Chicago.-"If you want to arouse
enthusiasm over the suffrage move
ment, get publicity.
ITO get publicity kick over a tea
table once in a while. Have one Of
your society leaders take trip
through the stock yards district dis
tributing literature and roses in the
killing pens and decorating the cows
and hogs with suffragette badges.
at may seem silly to you, but it
will get columns printed about the
suffrage movement"
The above advice was given the
members of the Mississippi valley
suffrage conference at the Hotel La
Sale by Mrs. Edna Cutter of Kansas
City
Publicity and enthusiasm go hand
in hand" she explained, "and If we
are to progress, we must everlasting
ly seek publicity
"The newspapers are glad to pub
lish anything that is new and inter-
esting, but no editor is going to be-
come excited over the report that the
Illinois Equal Suffrage officers gave
a lavender luncheon in flower
smothered parlor"
The meeting applauded Mrs. Cut
ter's talk and at once began to lay
plans for the adoption of her sug-
gestions.
Methods of raising money to fl
nance a nationwide campaign of ed
ucation and other questions of i'm
portance were discussed by speakers
and delegates.

PETS IN DEATH CHAIR,
JUST LIKE MURDERERS
Veteran Who Has to Kill 800 Amu-
ally is Going to Use Electricity
as Painless.


Westfield, Mass.-A death chair in
which animals will be despatched by
the same methods used in the electro
cution of murderers will be establish
ed by DR.. r. d. Earle, veterinary
surgeon. DR.. Earle is called on to
end the sufferings Of upward of 300
pets annually principally cats and
dogs. After much experimenting he
is convinced that electrocution is the
most humane method of killing them.
DR.. Earle says that while only the
most despised Of men are electro
cuted, the reverse would be ture in
the case of animals In electrocuting
dog an electrode will be placed on
wet sponge at the back of the ami
mails neck, the wire running along
the spinal column to the tip of the
tail A current Of greater voltage
than that used in the Charlestown

DEATH RUMORS
ALL RESTRICTIONS

Muskogee. Okla, Aug. 15.--Creeb
homesteads as we'll as all surplus
lands become alieDable immediately
on the death of the allottee, and II
makes no difference whether death
took place before or after the five
years restrictions.
On the death of a Seminole allot.
tee all his lands including homestead
becomes alienable and the heirs can
make a proper conveyance of this
land.
Restrictions on alienated Choctaw
and Chickasaw lands were not re-
moved by the act of congress passed
April 81, 1904.
Patents in the Choctaw and Chick
asaw countries date from the time
that they were signed by the last of
the chiefs of the two tribes, the time
that the deeds were signed by the
secretary of the interior is of no con-
sequence, and the signatures of the
chiefs makes the patents good
The one, three and five year clause
runs with the land and not with the
individual in the Choctaw and Chick
asaw nations.
Deciding directly contrary to the
supreme court of Oklahoma in the
Stonebraker case, Judge R. e. Camp
bell in the circuit court of the United
States today held that the death of
an allOttee conferred on his heirs the
right to sell the land inherited includ-
ing the homestead and that the gov
ernment restriction of five years had
no effect when the allotee died This
decision applied to lands in the Creek
and Seminole nations and is of vast
Importance to property owners in
Muskogee county In the 10000 suits
brought by the government a number
were based on the assumption that
the heirs of an aIlottee could not sell
the land until five years after the re-
were removed and this view
was taken by the Oklahoma supreme
court. Judge Campbell takes the OPP
posite view.
Judge Campbell in all handed down
five opinions and they cover practi-
cally every question that was not de-
cided by the supreme court of the
United States. In three decisions the
government loses out, and on two
points the contention of the attorneys
for the government is sustained.
AS a general proposition however
the land owners of Oklahoma win a
big victory. particularly so on the de-
cision of the court that patents date
from the time that they were signed
by the chiefs and not from the time
that they were executed by the de-
partment of the interior Also on the
Creek and Seminole cases where the
heirs of an alIottee are given the right
to sell restricted land.
The decisions involve a great many
thousand acres of land, and they mean
4 victory for the defendants in thou
sands of the 10000 suits brought by
he government.
Attorneys for the government say /
hat the cases win be appealed to the
court of the United States.
