THE first Suffrage Club in Ar

when the Arkansas Legislature
was in session in 1911, the Constitu-
tional Committee (after having prom
ised to sec the ladies) absolutely re-
fused to do SO. Fifty ladies' had gone
to the Capital for that purpose. These
ladies' had an indignation meeting in
one of the committee rooms, and out
of the ashes of the old club, formed
what is row known as Political
Equality League. This same Legisla-
ture gave six votes to amend the
Constitution, and the following Leg,s-

votes out of possible one hundred.
We hope the next Legislature will
give us the right to vote. Will you

Denver, Col, Dec. 5.-The worst

tonight. In Denver IS inches OF
snow already cover the streets.
Three feet on the level is reported
from many places.
In Denver all traffic was at d
standstill before dark and shoppers

their homes. Public buildings We're
thrown G. ell to accommodate those
who were unable to find their way on

The auditorium theatre was the

doors to the ''lost" public. All the
hotels followed suit. Even the state
capital is filled with persons who
are unable to find their way home.
Late in the afternoon a hard wiad

lost within dozen doors of their Of

Monterey and Tampico May
Determine Mexico's Ul-
innate Fate
AMERICANS FLEEING
Interest in This Country and FOREIGN
Lands Centers on Seaport Town
to Be BOmbarded

Washington, Dec. 5.-Official dis
patches to the state department to.
day report as IN full flight out OF
Mexico, hundreds of American citi
zens ana also threats of attacks on
Monterey, Tampico, the latter port
being the one at which all foreign
interest IS now concentrated.
The solitude and interest of the
navy and state departments in the
coming assault on Tampico are keen
because It will be up to Admiral
Fletcher to see that the rebel, Gener-
al Aguilar, makes good his promise s
to safeguard American and other
foreign property interests and es-
pecialy tlse oil works of American
and Englishmen.
Biggset Fight Yet.
The officials of the administration
regard the coming contest at Tampico
as the most important of all big
fights, because it is probably that
Germany, the United States and Great
Britain will develop their policies"
if the rebels do not keep their en-
gagement with Admiral Fletcher. 1t
is not known whether the German
naval commander has agreed to act
in concert with Admiral Fletcher, as
it is reported the British Admiral,
Sir. Christopher Craddock, did. The
fact that Germany is sending her
own cruiser is regarded here as
meaning that she proposes to take
matters in her own hands for 1t Is
we'll known that the American squad
ron at 1ampico is large enough to
handle the whole situation if other
nations so desired.
The Sudden renewed of the flight
of Americans who had recently been
advised In the United States to watch
and wait, has no explanation at the
State Department, or elsewhere.
The State Department tonight re-
ceived dispatches from Felite Riverso
rebel governor and commander at
Topic saying he had ordered Gen.
Buenoss, another rebel general, to
release ". s. Windham" OF the
Quimichis ranch. The dispatch from
him mentions only Windham but the
State Department assumes that the
order also Aefers to the release OF
James DUN, assistant superinten-
dent ana a ransom of $4,000 has
been asked for him.

on FLOOR TO HIS COL.
LEAGUES
Speech Was in Reply to His Own
Former Statement That President
Was Using Coercion

Washington, Dec. 4.-On the floor
of the Senate today, James A Reed OF
Missouri who with Senator OGorman,
long stood out against the Admins

tee voted for number of amendments
subsequently repudiated by the Demo-
cratic caucus, vehemently denied that
President Wilson had exerted undue
influence" upon Congress in connec-
ton with the currency bill.
The statements of the Missouri
Senator were in reply to his own dec
laration that the impression had gone
out that the President was exerting
the pressure of his office upon Sen
ators who were not willing to accept
his views.
1.-THE President" said Senator Reed
with some warmth, has never at
tempted to coax or coerce Congress
into passing any particular bill.
deny that the President has gone a
hairs breadth beyond the performance
of his constitutional duty"
Senator Reed defended the senate
bill, asserting that if the measure
had been passed as agreed to in the
house it would have created an enor-
nous contraction of credit and
would have brought about a financial
calamity.
