WOMEN TO VOTE.
Illinois House Passes Bill by
Constitutional Majority.
CAN NOW VOTE FOR PRESIDENT

Victory Gained After Long Struggle
Measure Now Goes Up to Governor
Dunno, Who Is Certain tn Sign II
Women Also Eligible ~ Vote on
u. S. Senators.
At Springfield, ILL.,, woman and
her cause triumphed in the house
of representatives when the suffrage
bill was passed by vote of so to So.
Now the bill will go to Governor
Dunno for his signature, and when he
signs it, as it is believed confidently
he will, Illinois will take its place as
the first state east of the Mississippi
river to give considerable voting
power to women.
Equal suffrage, as broad as it is
possible to make it without a consti-
tutional amendment, became almost
a fact in this state when Speaker
William Mckinley announced the re-
suit of the final roll call on the bill.
Will Vote for President.
Under the operation of this act
women in Illinois will be allowed to
vote for all offices created by statute,
including presidential electors and
United States senators, and on all
propositions submitted to the people.
1t was not until there had been
hard fight that the bill was taken up
and passed, and it marked the end of
a long, arduous and intelligent cam
paign by women and their friends in
side and outside the general assem-
bly,. The result was greeted with an
outburst of applause from the crowd
ed galleries and floor of representa-
tive hall
Women Given Credit.
Members of the legislature gave
full credit for the victory to the sa
gacity of Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout,
president OF the state suffrage organi-
cation, and Mrs Sherman Booth,
chairman of it's legislative committee,
who have been in Springfield through
out the session. Mrs. Antoinette
Funk and Mrs. Medill Mccormick
have been other members of the suf-
frage lobby during recent weeks.
Mrs. Trout was so affected by the
victory that she broke down and cried
in the house gallery. The strain was
severe during the roll call, as it look
ed for a time as though the bill had
been defeated by a narrow margin.
Mora Na&ae Than Naadad
The bill had received only seventy
six votes, or one short OF the consti-
tutional majority of seventy-seven,
when the roll call was completed.
Speaker Mckinley had cast the sew
enty-siXth vote. On the call of alb
sentees Representative Barker cast
the seventy-seventh vote. Cheers
swept over the house. With the vic
tory won additional votes came easily.
Representative Farrer, Jackson,
Harris, Ryan and McCarty were
among those voting for the bill after
the majority had been obtained. The
final vote showed six more votes re-
corded in favor of the bill than were
needed.

TRENTON
OWNERS ARE
DISCUSTED
Tri-State Franchise There is
Open to Any Purchaser
at High Dollar
LOST MUCH MONEY
WITH GOOD BALL CLUB

TRENTON, n. j., Jan. 9.--Directors
md officials of the Trenton rri-State
Club are dismayed After having
spent several thousand dollars clear-
ing up the Indebtedness Of the club
for the past year, it is likely that
they will have to spend a whole lot
more before they can go ahead with
plans for the coming year.
Creditors of the club have protest
ed TO Referee in Bankruptcy Samuel
u. Oliphant, Jr, that the sale of the
club had not brought the proper
returns. and as a result the counsel
lor ordered another sale, TO take place
on the twentieth of this month.
The present club directors are de-
termined not to sink any more money
in the club for its purchase. and Il
any one comes along with higher
bid than was made ou the last occa-
sion they can have the present pos
sessions Of the club and franchise and
do what thy please with it.
This means that if q contractor
comes along and makes high bid
ON the lumber which composes the
fence and grand stand and bleacher
81 is likely that they will get It, and
then up will go Tri-State ball IN
Trenton. Norris Park will become a
thing of the past and Tri-State bal
will be history
AS a matter Of fact, the whole Tri-
State League is shaky. Three OF M
clubs are trying to lean on Connie
Mack's broad shoulders for assist
ance in the way of a farm, and th'
others are far from enthusiastic. Th'
fact that not one team in the league
made any money last year, no mat
ter whether at the top or bottom o
the heap, is causing baseball fnan
ciers TO open their eyes.
If the Trenton club goes under thu
local directors certainly are open t.
sympathy Under adverse criticism
they attempted TO give fans as good
brand of bali as was in their power
They succeeded, and in doing so los
more money than in any other seasol
OF Tri-State ball here
With the incorporation of the Unit
ed States League also came the re
port that the organization was con
templating Trenton as site for
likely franchise Information TO tha
effect looks ludicrous In the frs
place, if Trenton cannot support Tri
State ball. how on earth can il sup
port a team that is expected to com
pete With the National and Americai
League Clubs2
Here is another version of tn
United States League that comes Il
from Cleveland
"That the United States Baseball
League may be revived this year. wit
a club ia Cleveland. is a report tia
reached the Maps headquarters Th
league lasted only a few weeks las
