Suffragists Open Meeting.

Suffragists Open Meeting.
The state suffrage convention,
which opened in Madison, listened to
the address of Mrs. II. M. YOumans,
Waukesha, president, and variety Of
papers on many phases of the suf-
frage problem.
The speakers urged the Importance
of a federal amendment and increased
educational work. to induce President
Youmans to accept reelection. She
was offered a secretary to tighten her
work.
The resolution for the amendment
to the constitution was presented by
Rev. Olympia Brown of Racine, in her
address on "The National Question"
in which she said that an amendment
was the easiest way and the most Sc.
cure method of securing the ballot for
women in all the states.
A resolution was adopted that ev-
cry party be asked to put suffrage
plank in it's platform.
Mrs. Henry NJ Youmans, president,
in her address, said:
.'At the last election on woman suf-
frage in Wisconsin year ago, we
polIed $4,000 votes. The opposition
polled 10000 more than we did, so
that, at that time, we needed nearly
10000 more votes than we received
to win. When our next election on
woman suffrage rolls around, some of
our friends will have passed away:
possibly some will have had the bad
taste to change their minds; the pop
ulation of the state will have In
creased. We shall have to convert
$4,000 or 10000 more men in Wis
consin to a belief in cur cause before
we women of Wisconsin can win the
ballot.
I'VE have our task then laid
down for us here in Wiseonsin-the
education of $4,000 or 10000 men,
and as many or more women. Who is
to conduct this education? You and
1. How? By all the hundred ways
known to the ingenuity of women.
We cannot go into details.
I'm general, we know we must keep
the question constantly before the
public mind-get the public used to
the idea"

Pick Delegates for Meeting.

The Wisconsin chapter of the Amer
lean Institute of Architects will send
A. C. Eschweiler, Hugh Guthrie and
Henry Rotier as delegates to the an
nual convention to be held in New
Orleans, December 2, 8, and 4. AL
ternates chosen are William H..
Schuchardt. Armand Koch and Peter
Brust
This convention will be the most
important to the people outside the
profession of any that has been held,
according to local architect, who is
authority for the statement that the
status of the government fine arts is
to be discussed. He said that the
profession at large is of the opinion
that the standard of the government
architecture has fallen far below that
of the best private work in the coun-
try and it will be the -endeavor of the
institute to correct this state of af-
fairs.
Architects say that since the repeal
of the Tarsney act under which the
government was permitted to employ
country and since the resignation of
James Knox Taylor, formerly super
vising architect of the treasury de-
partment, government standards have
sadly deteriorated.
The prospective convention is the
forty-seventh annual meeting.
Little Violation of Game Laws.
An increasing respect for the game
laws is evident in the records of ar
rests made in northern Wisconsin
since the deer season opened. Com
paratNely few have been reported,
and little hunting was done prior to
the opening of the season. Deputy
Warden l. FL. Boomer, who is super
vising the wardens in northern Wis
consin, has reported the arrest this
week of Charles Waite, Ben Butler
and A A. Crenbell of Sawyer county;
George Austin, John and Bert Hill and
Bert Ward of Douglas county, for vio-
lations of the deer hunting laws.
Besides Deputy Boomer, Deputies G.
F. Asmuth and d. NJ Cranston are
acting as field officers in other Sec
lions of northern Wisconsin.

JIM SEIGLER GOES TO PRISON.
Begins Sentence of Years for Kill
ing Wade Patterson.

Aiken, April flames G. Selgler,
charged with the murder here more
than year ago of Policeman Wade
Patterson, and convicted of man
slaughter, and given a seven-year SEN
tence in the State penintentiary, was
carried to Columbia this afternoon to
begin his period Of servitude.
seigler, who is one of the best known
men in the county, descendant Of one
of the Oldest and best known families,
and himself prominent farmer, was
tried last year and convicted. His
attorneys appealed for a new trial
The arguments we're made the su-
preme court in January, and last
month this tribunal handed a decision
affirming that Of the Aiken court.
seigler has taken this very hard and
he goes to the State penitentiary a
broken and Inundated man.
The local authorities were somewhat
perturbed here this morning when a
guard. Jennings Minis, from the peni-
tentiary, asked for the prisoner, and
they refused to deliver Seigler, bas-
ing their refusal, upon the allegation
Minis was too intoxicated to take
that Minis was too intoxicated to take
SeigIer into his custody. Solicitor
Gunter was conferred with about the
matter, and advised Sheriff Howard
and that there was nothing to do but
deliver him, but that it would be ad-
visable to send an Aiken deputy along
to keep a watch over both of them.
But at midday another guard arrived
from Columbia and solved the problem
for the local authorities by taking
charge of both men. He stated that
after Minis departure from Columbia
it was learned that he left in an In
toxicated condition, and the second
guard was sent out on the next train.
Sheriff Henry H. Howard, who
sternly disapproves any laxity in Of
fetal circles, was indignant and very
much wrought up over the entire
thing. He said:

Rev. DR.. Karland, enlogized the late
financier in the sermon. In part he
said: while I have been speaking
to you, have had in mind the per-
sonality of that truly great man who
was removed from among us-our
senior warden-his free and open
heart, his quiet, unknown good, his
fixed enduring friendship and its
secret hand, so generous with its
means that no one knows the mighty
blessings he sent straight to many
