SHANGHAI, China, May L.
When China's national convention
assemblies probably in July, to
adopt a new form of government
for China, there win be a big del
egation of suffragists present to
see about votes for women"
1t was important for the suf-
fragists to get Votes for women"
into the sample constitution. They
asked the members of the assem-
bly, to put it in and the members
said they would think" about It.
They did nothing but think" for
weeks.
Finally the suffragists decided
that the assembly did not think"
fast enough or else that 1t was do
ing the wrong kind of thinking.
One day a delegation of thirty
prominent suffragists flocked into
the assebly hall at Nankin. They
took Stats. Each produced a bomb
and held 1t up, ready for action.
Then the chairman OF the dele
CATION arose and addressed the as
sembly.
Eve want" she said. Votes for
women"
They got them.

 Land CrabberS

TOPEKA, Feb. ZU-The decision Of the supreme court in the school land cases has a far reaching effect It gives actual settlers on the school lands of the state clear title to the lands, puts an enS to the apparently endless chain of litigation that began in 1900. Lands affected in the west ern half of the state comprise many thousands of acres which originally belonged to the state under the Uni ted States school land act. These lands were sold to settlers but were abandoned when the boom collapsed in 1885 and 1886. In 1900 spectators sent all over the east bought up all old certificates and brought suit to re- cover the land from actual settlers on the ground of forfeiture made when the lands were abandoned was irregular

Marshal Can Find No One from Whom to Make
 Collections

The question Of what the city would do with the money taken in under or. dinance NO. IF. taxing foreign real estate agents S75 per quarter. has Keen settled apparently Althoust. the ordinance has been in effect for two whole days the fine tooth comb" has failed To discover a real estate agent of that particular genius aimed al by the ordinance and an armnss man could count all the dollars taken in under this tax on his fingers.
 While the city was busy spreading the lime, the birds flew away. All of the foreign real estate agents except one who were operating in the city at the time the ordinance was agita- ted have departed hence to other fields The city marshal stated yesterday that none were operating in the city except one who is temporarily out of the city and this ninety-aud ninth it is understood will comply with the new ordinance.
 Perhaps the ordinance should not be declared a failure, however, mere ly because the lucre has slipped through the city's lngers-or rather through the fingers of its right hand. the city marshal It was at no time intended that the ordinance would fill the city's coffers. As a matter of fact the agitation for the passage e such an ordinance was based on the principle that it would prevent this class of agents from taking so many oodles of dollars from the city, so if this be the raison d etre of the ordi- nance, it is what Uncle Joe Cannon declared the United States to be, pippinof a success.
 Whether or not the Hoffman Bros. Loan and Trust Co, and A. J. Kissel- burg are exempt fro mthe provis- ions of the ordinance will be decided today at Tombstone. The issue today is whether or not the temuorary in- junction issued by Judge Sutter last week. restraining the city from en- forcing the ordinance against Hof- man Bros. Loan and Trust Co.,, and \.
