Hint at Suffrage Exodus.

Just s7,2l9 for the 1915 woman suffrage
campaign was raised at the Thanksgiving
suffrage rally in Carnegie Hall last
night. Senator Lawrence V. Sherman, of
Illinois, was the only one present of the
four Senators from suffrage states who
had promised to attend.
Representative Taggert, from Kansas
City, sat on the Senatorial bench for the
evening, however. He urged the women
to emlgrate TO Kansas. A conspiracy to
defeat the suffrage amendment in New
York in 1915 was limited at No definite
proof was forthcoming, but the facts are
these: Kansas needs more people. The
women want to vote. II they don't get
the vote In New York they'll go West.

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-With Commits

Whitman today, II appeared more likely
than ever before that the real trail OF
the graft would be followed to the

deceived by Lieutenant Becker, who Is

for the murder of Gambler Rosenthal
In the last few days Waldo has learned
that he has been deceived by many
men In his department much higher and
more important than Becker.
There was much speculation today
as to what action Waldo would take as
the result OF the testimony before the
aldermanic committee by James Pur-
cell, former gambler and partner. of
Rosenthal, who swore that he paid
graft money to two inspectors and six
captains besides many minor officers
Two of the captains mentioned are dead
and two are retired.
An estimate OF the amount of graft
collected by the police was made today
on the basis Of Purcen's testimony. He
swore that he paid $1,000 in five years
or $4,000 year. II Is said that a
conservative estimate would put the

papers and periodicals are publishing
news items in a false and misleading
manner, or Intentionally suppressing
them for political purposes or other
ulterior motives. and also the advis-
