Because John Fl. Hohmann, single
handed, obtained sixty new mem
hers for the organization during the
past year, the members of the
Mankato Automobile club, in ses-
sion last evening, showed their APP
preciation of his efforts Zy a rising
vote; and because they appreciated
his work beyond the power OF the
standing pose, they accented their
Joy by presenting Mr. Hohmann with
$50 In vain Mr.. Holman tried to
get the floor in order to Kill the
money proposition, but he failed in
the effort and the motion was car
ried by q unanimous vote.
Mr.. Hohmann thanked the meeting
for their appreciation and said that
ne did not want the money but that
$40 would have been enough il 1t
had to come to that.
Report of Secretary.
The report of Carl Engwalsen, sec.
rotary of the club, showed that at
the first of the year, there were l56
members in the club. Four OF these
died during the year. They were
Louis Balzer, Fred Fox, DR.. A. O..
Bjelland and C. E. Helm, and twelve
of the members who had sold their
cars, or moved from the city, had
dropped out of the club. During
the past month fifty-four members
had been added, bringing the men,
bership up to total of 1876.
Treasurer eBn Bangerter's report
of the finances of the club, showed
that in the past year, the receipts
had been $1,342.17, the disburse-
ments were $96692 leaving balance
on hand of $S75.25.
Review of the Work.
At the opening of the meeting,
President r. e. Brown called upon
John Holman to make review OF
the work of the organization for the
past year Mr. Hohmann stated, that
the club had not actively invested
as much money in the matter OF
had formerly but that $500 OF the
clubs money had been deposited in
the county treasury to be used in
the building of the scenic highway
This part of the highway in which
the club was investing this money
lies in four counties. Bids will be
taken for this highway sometime in
the coming month and the work will
be pushed to completion inside OF g
years time. Mr. Holman referred tC
the fact that much of the clubs
money had been invested in two
roads, namely, the Lake Washington
and Madison highways. He felt that
the large amount of travel over
these routes justified the expense.

suffrage convention sessions were
suspended today while the thousand
delegates moved on to the capital
to urge favorable report by the
house rules committee on the reso-
luton to create standing committee
for woman suffrage in the house.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw had charge
of the presentation of arguments be-
fore the committee. She told the
committeeman it was not purpose
of the speakers to convert the con-
gressmen to suffrage, but to con-
vince them that the suffrage move
ment is entitled to a house commit
tee and it's equivalent or similar
one in the senate.
Washington, December 3.-When
women have the vote, Mrs. Joseph
T. Bowen of Chicago told the ma
tional suffrage convention today
they will give members of their own
sex fair show in the police courts.
Mrs. Bowen urged the need of wom-
en- police, women jurors and reform
of the courts and penal institutions
to help women and children.
From the time Of the arrest of
a woman" said Mrs Bowen, ito the
final disposition of her case she is
handicapped by being in the charge
of and surrounded by men, who nat
urally cannot be expected to be as
sympathetic and understanding as
one of her own sex. In the police
station she is at disadvantage, for
sucf places of detention in most CT
our large cities are not fit for hui
man habitation. In Chicago the
majority of them are dark and I'M
sanitary The women are herded
together, the innocent with the guilty.
the clean with the unclean, the
young girl with the prostitute. The
sleeping accommodations are vile.
TousIed and Untidy.
when woman appears for her
preliminary hearing she is tousled
and untidy as result of being
without proper toilet accommodate
tons, and is therefore apt to create
an unfavorable impression. In all
police stations separate rooms or
cells should be provided, with plenty
Of light and air and sleeping and
toilet accommodations for the
women"
Mrs. Bowen told of what had been
done to meet this situation in Chi
cago by the establishment of the
court of domestic relations and the
morals court. The latter hears the
cases of the women charged with
improper conduct
cheney is greater among women in
mates of correctional institutions,
she said, than among men. IF
women fall and commit crimes be-
cause of this mental deficiency it
would seem more than ever neces-
sary to have them examined by a
psychopathic expert and committed
not to prisons-but to such re-
formatories as Bedford, whose sci
entific treatment and humane care
has made it one of the few hopeful
spots in our wretched prison sys-
tenn"
Driven to Lives of Shame.
Mrs Bowen declared that condi-
lions in the factories and stores
that employ women drove many to
life of shame.
