SUFF BILL
IS SIGNED
Telegram BY United Press.

Telegram by United Press
Springfield, H., June 26.-The gov
ernor signed the equal suffrage bill
this morning, which enfranchised one
million six hundred thousand women,
more than doubling the number of
women entitled to vote in the United
States.
Illinois is the first state bordering
on the Mississippi river to recognize
the demand Of women for the ballot.
While the governorship and the gen
eral assembly will not feel the influ-
ence Of women's vote, the preslden-
tial issue and city elections come un-
der the new law owing to the peeuli-
arity Of the law
It was impossible at this session to
get full suffrage, as that would have
required constitutional amendment.
Illinois allows only one such amend
ment at any one session and the gov
ernor's bill initiative was given the
precedence.

er's apprentice. was severely injured
when the ash pan OF locomotive was
dropped upon his right foot However
what was thought at first to be a
serious injury proved to be nothing
more than bad cut when examined
by a physician.
The cause Of the accident was the
breaking Of chain from which was
suspended the ash pan from engine
No. 2l4l. Though the pan weighs sew
eral hundred pounds, it fell only a mat
er OF few inches, but the edge cut
through Summers shoe and inflicted
a deep wound in his instep. He was
taken to the Chickasha hospital and
though the wound bled profusely from
Ia severed artery, no bones were broken
and it is thought to be only a matter
Of days before Summers will be back
