LOOK OUT FOR WOMEN
Suffrage States VIII Have 81 Votes in
National Convention.

New York, March 4.-The National
American WCman's Suffrage association
has issued a statement reading in part
as follows:
Look out for women in the next
presidential election is the advice to
politicians by DR.. William Tindell. lie
is secretary to the board of commits
sioners of the District of Columbia. a
long time friend of Susan B. Anthony
and one of the vice presidents Of the
State Equal Suffrage association.
DR. Tindell has discovered that six
presidents of the United States were
elected by a smaller number of votes
than those which woman suffrage
states will control in the next electoral
college.
1.-The states having woman suffrage
are California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah,
Washingto Ton and Wyoming, with a to-
tai of 81 vores in the electoral college
ct is surprising to me-" said DR.
Tinda1l, that politicians are not tumb-
ling over themselves in their efforts to
get upon the band wagon especially N
view of the fact that the states in
which woman vote Cor president and
vice president will have 81 votes in the
electoral college and twice that num-
her in the nominating convention; that
they are all punched in one section Of
the country and therefore have a COM
mon interest and are likely to be con-
trolled by their views of that interest"

Topeka Socialists Pass Resolutions
Demanding Investigation.

A meeting of socialists was held in
Topeka, at Labor hall, Sunday evening
The Lawrence, Massachusetts, mill
strike. which involves thousands OF
workmen. employed in their mills was
discussed.
The following resolutions were passed;
Resolved, That we give utterance to
our supreme adherence and most posi-
tive condemnation of the high handed
manner, in which the state, county and
city officials of Massachusetts are pro-
ceeding, under the. name of the law,
against every claim of decency and
right, vouchsafed to American citizen
ship and common humanity; and, De
it further,
Resolved, That we give warning to
the lords of greed, wherever they may
be, that we will no longer tolerate such
outrage, in the sole interests of prop
erty rights, in contradistinct1on to the
rights of humanity; and be it further,
Resolved, That our eyes being now
opened to the fact that there are
classes in this country, and seeing that
we belong to the exploited class, we
pledge ourselves never to vote for our
exploiters, and that no ballot shall ever
be cast by us, that bears the name or
any candidate nominated on capital
istic ticket, of any party of any name
whatever. We solely pledge ourselves,
at all times, to vote for the party of
our class, knowing full well that no
candidate nor party is great enough to
legislate or govern, in the impartial in
terests of two separate and distinct
classes whose every interest is antag-
onistic, namely, the parties of the ex-
ploiters and the party of the exploited.
And, be it also,
Resolved, That we send a telegram to
Representative Phil Campbell, a mem
Der of the committee, at Washington,
instructing him TO vote for congress
sional investigation of the strike at
Lawrence, Massachusetts,, and that he
be furnished a copy of these resolutions
and that a copy be given to the daily
press.
The following telegram was sent to
Congressman Campbell, of the Third
district of Kansas:
Mr.. P. P. Campbell,
Washington, D. G.
We, a body of citizens in convention,
assembled in the city Of Topeka, Kan
sas, earnestly request you to vote for
congressional investigation of the
Lawrence, Massachusetts, strike situa-
ton, copy of resolutions to follow.

FACTORIES CLOSING.
Over 100000 Workers Besides the
Coal Miners Are Idle.

London, March Factory after
factory is closing down all over the
United Kingdom as a result of the ma
tional coal strike and those responsible
for the trouble are simply marking
time for the present although it is ex-
pected negotiations will soon be re-
sumed.
Besides the miners, considerably
more than 100000 of whom have
ceased work it is now estimated that
there are upwards of 100000 workers
in other industries idle owing to the
strike and the number is increasing
hourly.
The crews of coal carrying vessels
lying in the coaling ports are now be-
ing discharged as the ships are unable
to get cargo, and the railroad en-
ployees are suffering in a similar way
because of the curtailment by the
companies of their train service. One
short line railroad in Yorkshire has
discontinued service entirely.
In isolated instances the striking
miners have refused permission to
men to enter the mines in order to
feed the horses which have been left
below or to keep the workings clear.
Generally, however the utmost good
feeling prevails between the men and
the owners.

TAFT WANTS HELP.
The President Proposes a National
Board of Trade.

Washington, March president
Taft has taken the initiative in a
movement to bring business men of
the country into touch with the gov
eminent for advice in the administra-
ton of laws, the enactment of new
statutes and the development of COM
merce.
Virtually, the president proposes a
national board of trade broadly repre-
sentative of the commercial and in
dustrial organizations and of such
character as the government may
properly recognize by charter from
congress.
AS one of the first steps in the plan,
Secretary Nagel of the department of
commerce and labor by direction of
the president has called a convention
of delegates from commercial organi-
cations in all parts of the country to
meet in Washington on April IL for
discussion and to plan the organiza-
ton. Invitations already have ueen
sent to 1000 local chambers of COM
merce, boards of trade and other
commercial bodies. Responses to the
announcements of the tentative plan
have been such that President Taft
is convinced the time is ripe for put
ting the proposal to the test of prac-
teal experiment.

World Shipments of Wheat
Larger Than Expected.

Show Favorable Conditions.
THE CORN MARKET is EASY
Owing to Profit Taking on the
Part of Longs.
Firmness of Hogs Gives Some
Strength to Provisions.

Chicago. March 4.-WHEAT-World
shipments larger than expected reduced
wheat prices today. Cables, too, did not
prove very responsive to Saturday S
strength here. The weather map contin-
ued to show generally favorable condi-
tons and the short interests had been
cut down.
Opening quotations were nc down to a

a loss of 1sc to &c, touched $1.043s and then
sagged to 81. 03s4@ 1.o37s.
Smallness of the decrease in visible sup
ply led to a further backset. The close
was nervous with May at $1.03az@1.03zs a
net decline of 1AQ5sc.
CORN-Profit taking on the part of
longs made the corn market easy. May
opened with 1sc to 15c advance at 715sc to
72c, but gradually declined to 7114@71ssc.
The realizing carried the market still
lower. Closing figures easy at 71Ac for
May, loss of Nc net.
OATS-Demand for oats turned out to
be limited and there was a feeling OF
depression in consequence. May started
unchanged to 1sc lower at $3.50 to 5312c

BIDS FOR MORRIS FIGHT
Huge Hopes VIII Get Good Money for
New York Go.

New York, March 4.-The local CLUB
managers are beginning to bid for the
Al Palzer-C Carl Morris fight. The Nc
Mahon brothers, managers of the Empire
A. c. club, offer a purse of $4,000 to be
evenly divided between the boxers If they
would fight at the Empire Athletic club.
The National Sporting club then raised
the ante to $11 900 for the fight. 1t ap-
pears that William Newman of Harlem
eastern manager of Carl Morris is not
overanxious to have the fight at the Ma
tional and the Mcmahon brothers have
announced that they will equal the Ma
tional Sporting clubs offer in the follow
ing manner:
Newman, being willing to allow Morris
to fight at the Empire for 1000 Jess Nc
Mahon will give Palzer 5000 as his end of
the bout and in addition will present AL
bert with an extra 81, 900 as soon as he
steps into the ring on the night of the
fight.
So that Mcmahon will give Palzer Sc 900
and Morris 5000. In other words, Palzer
can get more by fighting at the Empire
than he can by fighting at the National.

TICKETS Sell WELL.
Concert at Auditorium Thursday
Night to Have Big Audience.

Tickets are going like hot cakes for
the Louise Smith concert which will be
given in the Auditorium next Thursday
evening for the purpose of raising
money for a fund to defray the ex-
pense of holding free daily pipe organ
concerts.
Here is the report of one of the mem
bers of the Ad club who is interested
in pushing the sale of tickets:
1.-THE reports which we are receiving
from the people who are disposing OF
the tickets would indicate that the sale
is better than we had hoped for in view
of the fact that weather conditions are
not favorable. We will have disposed
of 500 tickets late today. 1 am .basing
these figures you understand from The
reports 1 am receiving from stores and
others VINO are handling tickets.
e. L. Overton has just reported that
he will have personally disposed of 300
tickets by evening. The tickets are
going well at WaShburn college. Mr..
Crawford, OF the Majestic and Novelty
will assist in every possible manner.
There seems TO re according to reports
received from people handling tickets, a
tendency on the part of Topeka people
to assist the Ad club in the work of
6isposing of the tickets"
Every ticket sold pays for a number
on a days program in connection with
the proposed free daily pipe organ con-
certs,'' said Bernard Crosby today, a
member of the Ad club who is working
tirelessly in the interests of the free
concerts. This is the best adverIis-
ing that Topeka can get, both locally
and abroad.
There are 700 transients in the city
every day ard they will be given the
opportunity of enjoying a treat in the
free concerts. 1t will make restfLl
period in a long day Of shopping"
Mrs. Louise NJ. Smith, is said to have
remarkable dramatic soprano voice,
and the people of Topeka will have a
rare opportunity inaSmuch as they will
hear a S1.50 concert for but 25 cents.
Mrs. Smith will be assisted by jose
phine Deador, pianist. and Prof. D. H.
Seymour, organist.

places of business:

SCHOOL PROBE STILL ON
Report May Be Made at Board of
Education Meeting.

There are many conflicting rumors
making the rounds relative to the in
vest1gation the high school authorities
are making of the school class organ
izations. The students will be uneasy
until after the meeting of the board of
education, when it is expected report
of the findings will be made.
The management of the school has
been ascertaining just what students
belong to the organizations who are not
members of the classes which the clubs
are supposed to represent. Just what
action will be taken when the informa-
ton is submitted is not known. The in
vestigation is due to the fact that class
scraps have been the order of things
lately, one of whom having become so
warm that the high schoo' authorities
decided to suspend a dozen or more
students.
1T is just a little family matter"
remarked Principal A. J. Stout today,
and Superintendent c. C. Starr would
have absolutely nothing to say on the
question.
