SLATE HURST FOR
FOREIGN MISSION
Rock Islander Only Illinoisan so
Far Decided Upon for
Post.

The Chicago Tribune today prints
the following special dispatch from
Washington under yesterdays date:
Elmore w Hurst of Rock Island
is to be appointed minister TO some
foreign country 1t was disclosed at
the White house today that President
Wilson has reached this decision and
has placed Mr.. Hurst's name on the
slate of diplomatic appointments.
No post has been selected for Mr..
Hurst, but 1t was stated at the White
house that it would be an important
one. Secretary of State Bryan is to
give the Rock Island man his choice
of several attractive assignments,
some in Europe and some in South
America. Mr.. Hurst is one of the
leaders of the Illinois democracy and
took a prominent part in the Wilson
campaign. 1t also developed that Mr.
Hurst is the only Illinois democrat
whose name has been placed on the
diplomatic slate so far. Representa-
tive SABBATH and other leaders of the
Harrison-Hearst faction have been
pulling every possible influence in ia.
vor OF the selection of Charles Vop-
. icka Of Chicago for minister to one
of the Balkan countries.
| Friends of Mr.. Vopicka stated
few days ago that his appointment
is assured, but apparently the presi
dent has reached no decision in the
/ matter.
John L. Pickering of Springfield
has forwarded to Secretary of the
! Treasury McAdoo a detailed state
ment denying all of the charges made
against him by the democrats who
are opposing his selection for inter
nal revenue collector. He includes
denials signed by the witnesses nam
ed in the charges

tainly not such a success at his Con
staRtinople post as his previous ac-
tivity in the diplomatic field had led
one to expect. He arrived in Con-
stantinople in the very thick of the
young Turkish honeymoon, when ouE
prestige, one month after the revo-
luton, stood perhaps even higher
than at the time of Lord Stratford de
Radcliffe. Within six months that
prestige was gone and, strange to say,
we even find the British embassy's
name involved IN that obscure and
somewhat unsavory incident which is
known as the counter revolution of
April, 1909 And that prestige was
never restored till the outbreak of the
present war (of which, by the way, we
had no previous information), when
the magnificent diplomacy of Sir Ed.
ward Grey himself revealed to the
Turks that England could still be re.

he is said to have married recently a
Siamese girl who had been brought
up in an English family and educated
in the doctrines of the suffragets.
Soon after her marriage this young
woman started a suffraget campaign
among her co-wives, with the result
that the unfortunate king now finds
the feminine part of his household in

Women Defend
Suffrage Bill in
Congress

WASHINGTON Jan. 3l.-Three num-
dred leaders of the woman suffrage
movement invaded the capital today in
defense of the French bill providing for
their Acknowledgement. The hearing
was held before the house committee
on elections. Chairman Rucker plead
ed with the invaders for order.
4 know it will be hard to maintain
order with so many women mere he
said.
Representative French, of Idaho, aft
er defending his bill, introduced Mrs.
Clara Berwick Colby secretary OF the
Federal Women's Equality association,
who delivered the opening argument.
The fact that woman suffrage" she
said, has not become the sixteenth
constitutional amendment after 80
years of effort by Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton ana her followers, is eloquent tes-
timony of the delays of congressional
committees that have a days sport of
the dignitied efforts of women to win
their political freedom"
Mrs. Colby declared that the authors
Of the constitution never had intended
to disfranchise women
Women Can Qualify"
Sex is an attribute and can not be
considered a qualification. woman
can qualify for suffrage by age and ed
ucatiOn as man qualities"
Representative Hayden, of Arizona
declared that the adoption of woman
suffrage in his state had established
beyond question the fact that women's
votes are more conservative than mems.
Representative MOndelI, of Wyoming,
honorary vice president of the Federal
Woman's Equality association, asserted
that "the grabbed Old bachelor who up
held disfranchisement of women" be-
longs to a class, Acknowledgement of
which legislatures might consider ia
vorably. He declared that society had
been upifted by the presence of women
at the polls.
The assertion that women take a
more vital interest than men in munic-
ipal questions was made by Represen-
tative Raker. of California, who also
favored woman suffrage.
Woman meets her new responsible
| ity," said he, with her usual splendid
courage"
Mrs. f. V. Spencer. of California, the
next speaker, declared that while men
would probably always control the ma
| tional politics Of the country, women
were needed for the benefit of munich
pal conditions.
/
Suffraaette Answers Georgian.
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, once a
WOman's suffrage candidate for presi-
| dent, locked horns with Representative
Tribble, of Georgia, who questioned the
right of the Federal government to
establish franchise rights in the several
states
The gentleman knows that | know,
she said, that there is precedent for
an amendment to the constitution
granting womans suffrage. 1t is not a
speculation, but an established fact"
Mrs. Lockwood wore her hat while
addressing the committee '1 will take
off my hat to this committee" she said
| when it reports out the bill giving
women the right to vote"
The committee then adjourned until
o'clock this evening.

CRAWFORD DECLINES
TO SERVE ON BOARD
Couldn't Give Matter as Much Time
as 1t Deserves-Weatherly to
Name Successor Soon

George Gordon Crawford yesterday
declined his appointment as a member
of the smoke board of consulting en-
gineers in a letter to Commissioned
Weatherly, giving as his reasons that
he did not believe his business would
allow him to give the matter as much
time as it deserved and stating fur
ther that in view of his position as
head of a big industrial company it
might appear to some people as com
plicating matters for him to become
member OF the board to enforce the
smoke ordinance
Mr.. Crawford is deeply impressed with
the Importance of the consulting
board of engineers according to his let
ter. He expressed the belief that the
black smoke of the city can be re-
duced one half very easily and with no
heavy expense to any one man. Mr..
Weatherly will name another man in the
near future. f. b. Kiser and Maj. r.
3. Elliott are the other two members.

New Orleans today offering something
more than 800 bales of Parchman cotton
for sale.
Efforts have been made to dispose OF

their appearance. Just why cotton men
should be afraid to handle this lot of cot
ton is a kind of mystery to the trustees
1t is supposed would-be buyers here We're
afraid there might be some entanglements
because of the fact that Boyce & Co. bar
gained for it two months ago and failed
to take 1t after the state had tied them
up on few thousand bales pending the
completion of the governors investigation
into the affairs of the penitentiary, with
special bearing on cotton transactions.

Although mud lnterfered with the work
of Gov. Elliott w. Major and Gov George

both governors declared they would be up
early tomorrow and would make up for

II intend to fix two road days when

is remarkable how many have responded
to Governor Majors proclamation
Reports from every county In this part
of the state told of throngs of workers,
many of them encouraged by the presence

In st. Louis county the response to the
governors call was slight, as the county

of st. Louis, however, contributed liber-
ally to fund with which to buy road
grading machinery for the rural parts Of
the state.
The response to the governors call
throughout the rural region was liberal.
In Cape Girardeau county $500 men worked
