6uffrapette Leader Held at Ellis
island to Await Decision.

Washington, Oct 21.-President
Wilson is to take hand in deciding
the question of whether Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst, the weil-known suf-
9ragette OF England, shall be admitted
60 this country.
President Wilson on Sunday called
q conference with Secretary Wilson OF
the department OF labor and Commits
Eioner General Caminetti OF the I'M
migration bureau. High government
officials who are believed to know the
attitude OF the president predicted
that Hrs Pankhurst would be admit
ted
Earlier In the day Commissioner
Camlnetti, after an informal hearing
of counsel, had declined to release
Mrs Pankhurst on bond from the FL
lis island immigration station, where
she is being confined pending final &C
ton ON her appeal from the order of
deportation issued in New York on
Saturday.
New York, Oct. 21.-Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, foremost of British mill
tant suffragettes, who reached Amei-
Ca On the liner Provence to appeal for
the support OF Americans in the rev
Olution" for which she says she Is
fighting, is a prisoner at Ellis island
under order of deportation awaiting
the issue Of an appeal, which is ex-
pected to be decided at Washington.
Meantime she is denied the privilege
OF landing under bond.
Mrs. Pankhurst was detained by an
immigration inspector on arrival of
In Provence on Saturday and was at
once taken before special board Of
inquiry, which, after examining her,
decided that because she had been
convicted abroad OF @acts involving
moral turpitude," she was an unde-
sfrabie alien. The board therefore,
ordered her exclusion.
An appeal was entered Immediately
and immigration Commissioner Can't
netu VIII hear arguments on her case

have great faith in the sense OF justice
and fair play of the American people
and 1 know they want to give me
chance to defend the movement which
has been SO misrepresented. There is
TO doubt that my detention is unjust"
Three things in the examination of
Mrs Pankhurst seemed particularly to
arouse her indignation. One was that
she was accused Of moral turpitude,"
another that the proceedings were in
secret and the third that her political
opponents" in England had, in her be-
lief. furnished much of the language
nsed by the special board in questions
put to her. Her examiners were cour-
feous, more or less" she admitted.
@The climax came" she declared,
when they said I was guilty Of moral
turpitude. Then 1t was that said:
Your ancestors were guilty of moral
tarpiture when they threw the tea into
Boston harbor.'

The outgoing executive issued a
statement in which he denounced the
tribunal which had removed him as
"Murphy's high court of infamy."
Murphy controlled the assembly
and ordered the impeachment" Sulzer
said. HE controlled most of the mem,
bers of the court and dictated proce-
dure and wrote the judgment. He was
the judge and jury; the prosecutor
and the bailiff"
He entered a general denial OF all
the charges in the impeachment ar,
ticles, denied he had ever asked Allan
A. Ryan to obtain the influence OF
Murphy or Republican State Chairman
Barnes to stop the trail; said the tes-
timony of Henry Morgenthau could be
explained; asserted that every dollar

campaign had been properly accounted

he had been faithful to his trust"

pie the commission they gave me an

Got One 'POssum

The High School Possum Club
was out again Friday night last
on the trail of the lonesome. The
crowd remnined an hour later
than they did the previous night
but the results fell off &c 2-3 per
cent. They only got one possum
this time. They broadened their
field of operations and took coon
dogs with them. The coon dog
'treed' about 8 a. m. Saturday
so far away that it would have
required an automobile to reach
them, so the crowd gave it up
and came home with one possum.
They got home about 8 a. M.
footsore and weary. The crowd
was made up Of twenty-one per-
sons who rode to the Wheeler
bridge in a hayrack so heavily
laden that the team had to make
frequent stops to recuperate and
at midnight a lunch was served
with coffee made out there. The
membership of the club present
at the last trip were: Misses
Mary and Ruth Gilbert, Louise
Applegate, Carrie Wheeler, Lou
Staples, Lizzie Bennett, Ella

Make Musselfork Navigable

Someone at Washington, D. C.
with a humorous vein in their
system has kindly sent the
Courier men an invitation to at
tend the tenth annual convention
of the National River and
Harbors Congress of the U. S.
A. to be held at Washington
December 3, A and 5. President
Wilson is to speak at the con-
vention hall of the Willard
hotel. 1t looks a little like ex-
trayagance for the government
people at Washington to waste
the paper to send out these in
vitations to the editors of country
newspapers but if the weather is
good and business slow, the
Courier bunch may shut up shop
the week of the convention and
make the trip east to present a
special bill looking to the dredg-
ing of the Charlton and Mussel-
fork to make them navigable at
all seasons of the year. This
would stimulate trade and would
open up a Keytesville to the
Gulf route via the Musselfork,
Charlton, Missouri and Missis-
sippi river, matter of vast in
difference to the rest of the
country but important to US. If
any are interested, talk it.

MEXICO ISA DRY TOWN
Dfys Win BY 6S Votes Last
Saloon Closes April
Voted Monday.

The city Of Mexico, Mo. went
dry at the election held Monday.
II was a redhot fight blood on
both sides. The drys won by a
majority of 65 votes. There
were four saloons in the city and
Of these three close soon while
the others license will not ex-
pire until about the first Of next
year. The fight was one that
brought the usual share Of per-
sonalities into it and a few
days before election day
the wet" city attorney of
Mexico mixed with the president
Of the College there on the street
and the final result was that the
president threatened to spank
the attorney who called the po-
lice and had the gentleman ar
rested. It was a merry little
fight and it won't be long until
the Mexican will have to import
their pulque and drink it on the
"qt." instead Of taking it boldly
against the bar, 1t begins to
look like the saloon is having a
hard time of it. Yet, in the face
Of the closing of saloons, the
consumption Of liquor goes mer-
rily on at an increased rate, ac-
cording to the state revenue or
inspection returns. This also is
verified by the express COM
pans returns. A contest may
be entered into over the election,
but it is doubtful if the saloons
could get renewal Of licenses
pending a decision. The vote
was under the old law permit
ting cities to vote separately
from the counties. Moberly
will be a Mecca for Mexico
drys as well as Keytesville dry
vets.

MERCHANTS AFTER TRADE
Weekly Auction Sale OF VAR
led Goods-TO Give
Auto Away.

The Commercial Club has ar
ranged for a trade drawing cam
paign and have decided that it will
give an automobile away in order
to boost the campaign. The
Club made the decision this
week at several enthusiastic
meetings held for the purpose.
The secretary was authorized to
take up at once correspondence
with automobile firms concerning
the machine to be given away
about May l. Another thing
they have decided is to have a
weekly auction to be held prob
ably at Dameron's garage. The
first sale to be held November
Is. Many of the merchants
have agreed to contribute to this
sale different articles to be sold
and some bargains will be offer
ed. The committee to look after
the automobile affair was A. F.
Arlington and L. B. Thrash and
those attending to the auction,
Charles Levy and W. H. Burns.
The general belief is that the
two measures will draw business
and they will be pushed along
the best possible way.

George W. Thompson Dead
On Tuesday morning, October

OSViSS W. lHOihpSOH Dedu
On Tuesday morning, October
22st, Sumner lost one of its most
enterprising citizens and most
companionabIe of men, George
W. Thompson succumbing to
heart trouble with which he had
heen afflicted for several years.
George W. Thompson was
born in Linneus, Mo. March Z,
1867, the son of Col. G. W. and
Ellen Thompson, who when he
was 5 years old moved to Laclede
where George received his
schooling and business training.
He came to Sumner with Will
Caruthers in 1891 and for sew
eral years they were the leading
mercantile firm in that section
of the country.
In public life, in social affairs,
in the various secret orders to
which he belonged, he was ever
one Of the leading spirits, full of
the milk of human kindness,
with charity for all and malice
toward none, nothing was more
natural than that he should be
popular. Like others imbued
with pnblic spirit, he sacrificed
his personal interest for the ad-
vancement of the community
and it is immaterial to him now
whether he is acco, ded the
merit which was his due.
He is survived by his prostrat-
ed wife and daughter, Georgia
and sens, Earl, Virgil and William
to whom the Courier extends
deep sympathy.
