The longest special train that ever

Women win victory

Indianapolis. March 3-Woman's
suffrage In Indiana today won VIC
tory when more than 900 women
marched to the state house, swarmed
onto the floor of the senate and argued
their cause with cornered legislators.
Senator CRUDE, unable to withstand
pleas, introduced a joint resolution to
amend the state constitution to grant
women full suffrage. From the SEN
ate the women went into the house
and there stopped the PROCEEDINGS
while they made their pleas. Here
however. they were less successful
than in the upper house, for little at
tention was paid them.
The women first found Governor
Ra1ston upon entering the state house
A few minutes later the states exec
utive was adorned with large badge
upon which was printed t"votes for
women"
Aftor enlisting the governor in their
cause, the women, who scorned the
elevators, rushed up the stairs to the
senate chamber They crowded onto
the floor, buttonholed the trapped sen :
ators and presented their arguments to
the men who We're unable to leave. n
took Senator CRUDE only a few min
utes to be convinced of the Justice of
the cause by the women who surround :
ed him and his resolution was intro
duced The women then departed.

The opening address by DR.. Anna Shaw,

they stood shivering for more than an
hour and finally they we're forced to
seek refuge within the building.
Around the treasury department the
crowds were massed SO tightly that re-
peated charges by the police were SEEM
ingly ineffective. 1t was as though the
bluecoats charged a stone wall. Occa-
sonally the mob gave way in one place,
only to break over and under the wire
hedge at some other.
Cavalry Takes Charge
When the cavalry suddenly appeared
there was a wild outburst of applause
in the reviewing stand. The men in
brown virtually brushed aside the mount
ed and foot police and took charge. In
two lines the troop charged the crowds.
Evidently realizing they would be ridden
down the mobs fought their way back.
When they hesitated. the cavalry men
under orders of their officers did not
hesitate Their horses were driven into
the throngs and whirled and wheeled
suntil hooting men and women were
forced to retreat. space quickly
cleared.
The parade in itself, is spite of the de-
laws, was a success. Passing through
two walls of antagonistic humanity the
marchers for the most part kept their
temper They suffered insult and closed
theft ears to jibes and jeers. Few
faltered, although several of the older
women were forced to drop out from
time to time.
The greatest ovation probably was
given to General Rosalie Jones. who
led her little baud of ''hikers' from

Attack on Hurley.
McMurray made a strenuous at
tempt to discredit Hurley in the eyes
Of the committee today, but his ar
guments proved to be boomerang.
They made friends for both Hurley
and the Gore amendment.
McMurray claimed that the best
citizenship of tho Five Civilized
Tribes was backing him in his fight
for the approval OF the contracts,
citing various Indian organizations
Hurley questioned him and McMurray
admitted that Ed johnson. a promi-
nent Chickasha Indian and a member
Of the board Of directors of the In
dian Rights association. was finan-
cially interested in the contracts.
McMurray also admitted that Dr. Tom
l.. Howell, of Davis, president OF the
Chickasha and Choctaw Treaty Rights
association. would also profit largely
in case the contracts eventually were
sustained. Hurley then told the COM
mittee that this was probably why
McMurray was so popular with 50
many citizens of the i've tribes.

Senators smiled when Hurley fore
ed from McMurray the information
that probably one-half Of the total
amount 20 be derived from the con-
tracts would 20 to influential citizens
McMurray grew bitter and declar-
ed Hurley was acting in bad faith,

been WORKING in the interest of the
giders ard that hc had done such
work since he came into his present
position. Hurley then made "a straight
appeal to the members of the COM
