SUFFRAGE NOTES

Where does President Wilson stand
on the suffrage question? This is the
query that is agitating the hundreds
of delegates to the forty-ffth annual
convention of the National Woman's
Suffrage association who are here for
the opening session tomorrow. II the
president ignores the issue in his mes
sage to congress Tuesday, they plan to
march to the White House in a body
and demand that he go on record.
The delegates are announcing their
intention to start on it's way al amend
ment to the federal constitution that
will snfranchise women. Suffrage
leaders declare such an amendment,
and the Women's right to it. now that
they vote on national questions In ten
states, is to be urged on congress with
determination. A statement from the
president is desired as an expression
of the democratic party's policy on the
suffrage advocacy.
The s~uffragists rallied in Washington
Yesterday In anticipation Of an open
ing mass meeting, scheduled for this
afternoon. A delegation Of 100 wo-
men, led by Miss ane Adams, aug
mented the force already In Washing
ton, and other delegations were ex-
pected to make the attendance around

A SUBSTITUTE FOR GASOLINE.
BenzoI Is a German Product Which Is
a Step in tho. Right Direction.

Toledo Blade: The daily consular
and trade reports issued by the de-
partment Of tell Of a sub
stitute for gasoline now getting a test
from motor car owners of Germany.
This is known as benzol, which Is a
by-product of the gas making and
coke manufacturing industries. 1t
has been found to be suitable for mot
or trucks and buses, but there is a
division Of opinion as to it's usefulness
in propelling pleasure vehicles. The
price Of benzol is a little less than
that of gasoline.
1t is recognized that the greatest
impeachment to the universal use Of
mechanical vehicles Is the cost of the
fuel. Rewards which are fortunes In
themselves are held out to any one
who will provide the world with a
cheap substitute for gasoline, one that
will be not only effective, but the sup
ply of which will be in no danger Of
exhaustion, as is the case Of gasoline.
The benzol of the Germans does not
seem to be the thing, particularly
since 1t is only slightly less costly
than the gasoline. But the fact hat
even in a small way there is a com
petitor for the ordinary fuel is a hope
full sign.

DISASTROUS PRANK OF BOY
Lad Causes FIood-Traffic Is Stopped
for Hours and Many Fine
Clothes Ruined.

Kansas City, Nov. 3.-The old story,
beginning for want of a NAIL" ETC.,
was re-enacted here when the Hal
lowe'en prank of n small boy caused
a flood, a call for the police, the fire
department and the water department,
closed a saloon temporarily, ruined
four dresses and two suits of clothes,
and tied up traffic on two downtown
streets for half an hour.
The boy spied ar empty telephone
cable spool in a street. A little block
of wood held it from rolling down hill.
The boy waited until he was sure
there were no policemen watching,
then removed the little block of wood
and ran.
The big spool started slowly at first,
but as its diameter, and weighing 1000
pounds, rolled on, it's momentum in
creased until it was travelling 80 miles
an hour. Just before reaching a
crowded thoroughfare it crashed into
a water plug.
The plug was broken at it's base
and the rushing water shot into the
door of a saloon. Four girls were
within ten feet Of the plug. Their
dresses were ruined. Two men also
were soaked.

NARROWED FOR TEN YEARS
ESKIMO PARTY is FINALLY RES
CUED FROM DRIFT ICE.
Remarkable Story of Adventures of
Ten Persons Received at Winnipeg
From Frozen North.

Winnipeg, Man, Nov. Hudson
Bay officials here received meagre re.
ports from the North that a party of
Eskimos numbering, it is said, ten
persons, were rescued from an island
in the mouth of Hudson bay upon
which they had been marooned for
a period of 10 years.
The Eskimos were caught off
shore on drift ice and carried, after
weeks of hardships, t the island upon
which they were found. This island
has been steadfastly avoided by YES
sells because of reefs and magnetic
disturbances which affected ships
compasses. 1t is over 100 miles off the
mainland.
The Eskimos had lived during all
the period of their forced stay on fish
and seal meat.
Several children were born during
the decade of their Imprisonment and
some of the party had died.
Those who were rescued seemed all
to be in good health.

MRS. EATON GOES
HOME FREE WOMAN
JURY HOLDS HER NOT GUILTY
OF CHARGE OF
MURDER.
IMPRISONED FOR 7 MONTHS
viii Keep Chickens and Bees and Sell
Eggs and Honey-Has Written
a Book While in
Jail.

Plymouth, Mass, Nov. Mrs. Jen-
ME May Eaton has gone home to keep
chickens and bees and sell eggs and
honey. She has written a book while
in Jail.
A Free Woman.
After seven months Imprisonment
on a charge of having murdered her
husband, Rear Admiral Joseph G..
Eaton, by poison, Mrs. Eaton stepped
from the courthouse here a free wom-
an.
Mrs. Eaton received the verdict
calmly. She was standing between
her counsel when the verdict was read
and then sank YEARLY into her chair.
Judge Aiken had warned the specta-
tors against any demonstration. A
faint cheer broke from the crowd,
however, which was cut short by the
pounding of a gavel in the hands of a
deputy.
Crowd For Defendant.
The allnight session of the jury had
led to reports of a disagreement and
much uneasiness was shown in the
crowd, which was openly in sympathy
with he accused woman. Many be-
lieved 1T was the record of Mrs. Eaton
as a wife, mother and daughter, an
told by herself on the witness stand,
which had the greatest influence in
causing her acquittal.
Although the prosecution was at no
time able to prove a direct case
against Mrs. Eaton, the circumstan-
tial evidence was damaging when At
torney Morse announced that Mrs.
Eaton would take the stand. Failing
conviction, the prosecution hoped to
prove Mrs. Eaton insane. On the
stand she was clear-headed, calm and
convincing. She developed the story
of her life as a life of service to her
husband and her daughters, and with
stood all attempts by the prosecution
to involve her in contradictions.
After Mrs. Eaton had left the court
room the jurors through their foreman
asked that they might be allowed to
meet her. The permission was grant
ed and they formed a semi-circle in
the corridor. Mrs. Eaton came out
from the judges lobby and thanked
them individually. AS she did so she
burst into tears for the first time since
her trial started. A little later Mrs.
Eaton gave GU. the following state
ment:
II am glad most Of all because of
my aged mother and my lame child,

The accused woman freed Of the
charge of murder confided her ambi-
tons to a friend as she left for her
home. Since l have been in the

Of my life," she said. 1T is stranger
than any novel of fiction"

WILSON PLAN IS DEFEATED
FOUR FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
PLAN is ADOPTED.
The Original Idea Was for Twelve
Branch Concerns in the
Nation.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The Wilson
administration was defeated when
the senate banking and currency com
mittee tentatively agreed upon four
regional reserve banks for the pro-
posed new currency system, with a
provision that after two years the
federal reserve board may add as
many additional banks as it deems
necessary, o exceeding IL.
The pending bill fixes the number
at IL and it has been understood that
the administration would not consent
to have it reduced below nine.
The sharp reduction in the number
of reserve banks was the first radical
amendment the committee has agreed
upon and it was earnestly opposed by
the administration supporters in the
committee. Senators Reed and Hitch
cock, however, voted with the five
Republicans for the reduction, leaving
but five Democrats behind the admin
~istration proposal.
The White House was silent con-
corning the committees action, but it
has been generally supposed that the
president, was vigorously opposed to
cutting the number below nine.
The committee has pending still the
proposal to abandon the administra-
ton regional plan and to create a gov
ernment-controlled central bank.
There is also pending Senator Reeds
proposal that the unification of the re-
gional banks be accomplished by the
creation of a government clearing
house which would act as a reserve
reservoir.
The question Of the capitalization
and stock ownership of the proposed
regional banks was taken up immedi-
ateiy after the number was tentative
ly fixed, but no decision was reached
In the matter.
The administration supporters con-
tested every step in the reduction in
the number of the regional banks.
Two of them voted to retain the IL
and three voted for 10 banks. The
proposal to fix the number at eight
was defeated seven to five, and by
the same vote the number was fixed
at four. The proposition to insert the
provise that the federal reserve board
might increase the number to IL
after two years, was voted into the
bill with only two members oppos-
ing 1t.
The committee took a recess to al
low various members to go to their
homes for elections, consideration Of
the bill going over until Wednesday.
