SuFFRAGISTS, TURNED DOWN
Votes for Women Message to
Congress.

Washington, De. 9.-Facing dele
CATION of American militant suffra-
gettes, President Wilson refused to
send special message to congress
urging votes for women.
The President also declined to in
corporate such a suggestion in one OF
his regular messages. And. until con-
gress itself asks him to, he said, he
could not recommend that the house
appoint committee to investigate the
question of suffrage.
However, the President was so dip
lomatic in handling the delicate ques-
ton that the women left him satisfied
that If he ever gets the opportunity
he will aid their cause.
The President based his refusal on
the fact that his private views could
not govern his actions. AS leader OF
his party, he insisted that only such
organic questions as had been passed
upon by a national convention or a
conference of elected representatives
Of the party were subject to his &C.

INCHES OF SNOW.
One of Largest Hotels and Several
Office Buildings Forced to
Clise-Cold Follows
the Snow.

Denver, Dec. G.--The severe snow.
storm, which had completely tied up
all forms of business in Denver and
Central Colorado had ended, accord
ing to the weather bureau here, and
clear but colder weather was fore
casted. With freezing weather came
anxiety as to the maintenance of tele-
graph and telephone communication,
which alone saved Denver from abso-
lutte isolation for twenty-four hours.
The total amount of snowfall in the
storm was given, officially, at 45.5
inches, or 2.52 inches precipitation.
Denver has been placed under vir-
tual martial law with the police of the
CITY directing all movements Of traffic
and pedestrians.
One of the greatest hardships as
companying the storm was the ex.
IRENE shortage of coal. One Of the
largest hotels in Denver has been
forced to close Office buildings have
exhausted their supply of fuel, and
were forced to close. Other hotels,
housing hundreds of narooned trades
people, fear they will be unable to get
coal
Two stage coaches near Boulder and
one near Buena Vista are lost, and it
is feared the drivers and the occu-
pants, if the coaches carried any pas
sengers, have frozen to death In the
Trinidad mining district, where mar
tial law is in existence, the tents OF
both the soldiers and the coal mine
strikers are absolutely isolated. Many
of the tents, at the time communica-
ton was last obtainable from there,
had been blown down, and the suffer
ing was said to be intense.
Throughout this state buildings in
practically every town have collapsed
from weight of the snow. The Foster
building, in Denver, was flooded by
the bursting of water reservoir on
the roof, and hundreds of offices suf-
fered great damage The roof of the
First Baptist Church caved in, and
twenty persons were submerged. All
were taken out uninjured.

Of stock can hardly be built without a

buildings are in such fine shape that
no repairs are necessary but they are
exceptions. AS rule there are re-
pairs to be made that were neglected
during the busy season and right now
is good time to put in the stitch that

Do a lot of thinking on your own
account before you allow a smooth
talking land agent to trade farm
four times as large as yours to you,
even though he may tell you that the
land is better and the climate ''just
about the same as here" There is
reason in all things, but in "hoss"

dom that both sides win.
1t seem that there are a few who
think that all our ills can be cured by

year-old beeves could by fixed by law
it would come several points nearer
