The handsome Husband.

In Germany the view is gaining
ground that good looking men are the
cause of most unhappy marriages. and
League Against Beauty has actual
ls been started there for the purpose
Of preventing women from taking TO
themselves handsome husbands. The
founder of this strange league is r.
woman who is herself very pretty,
but she says that she has made care
full Investigations and out of Is cases
of unhappy marriages IL were caused
by the fact that the husbands Twere.
very handsome. The league has al
ready fairly large number OF MEM
bers. all Of whom are pledged only to
choose ugly men for their life part
ners. That there is something in this
idea, curious as it may seem, Is evil
dent by the fact that most extreme
ly pretty women seem unconsciously to
choose husbands who are devoid of
real dandsomeness.

STATE SUFFRAGE
MEET At MADISON
WISCONSIN WOMEN PLAN CAM.
PAiGN FOR BALLOT AT AN
NuAL CONVENTION.
PARTY SEEKS 10000 VOTES
Amendment to National Constitution
Granting Equal Suffrage Is Pro-
posed-Suffrage Planks
Are Urged.

Madison-The stste suffrage con
vention at the opening session listen
ed to the address of Mrs. H. NJ. You
mans, Waukesha. president, and va
riety of paress on many phases of
The - Suffrage problem.
The speakers urged the Importance
of a federal amendment and increased
educational work. The resolution for
the amendment to the constitution
was presented by the Rev. Olympia
Brown of Racine. She said that an
amendment was the easiest way and
the most secure method of securing
the ballot for women in all the states.
A resolution was adopted that every
party be asked to put suffrage plank
in its platform.
Mrs. Henry NJ Youmans, president,
in her address, said:
Sat the last election on woman suf-
frage in Wisconsin a year ago we
polled $4,000 votes. The opposition
polled $4,000 more than we did, so
that, at that time we needed nearly
$4,000 more votes than we received to
win. When our next election on wom'
an suffrage rolls around, some of our
friends will have passed away; posi-
bly, some will have had the bad taste
to change their minds; the population
of the state will have increased. We
shall have to convert $4,000 or TO-
600 more men in Wisconsin to the be-
lief in our cause before we women
of Wisconsin can win the ballot.

AMAZING STORY REVEALED BY
COMMERCE BODY QUIZ OF
FRISCO GOES TO CONGRESS.

Report Of Commission Will Show That

1t will be shown in the official report
that the railroad was forced to the

pay interest on fictitious indebted
ness of $40.000,000 created by enor-
nous commissions paid to bankers
and brokers for the sale of it's securi-
ties, and profits to promoters of feeder
lines in the southwest.
2. The chairman of its board OF d.
rectors and controlling factor in its
management, B. F. Yoakum, made
profits for himself and associates by
trading with himself in the capacity
of promoter and builder OF Texas
roads which he caused to be sold to
the Frisco at big prices.
The report of the commission to
congress will show that approximate

total funded Indebtedness of $244,000,-
900 was paid to bankers and brokers
in commissions and more than $1,000
900 to Yoakum and his associates as
profits on their feeder lines. The av-
erage rate of commission to brokers
and bankers was 12.5 per cent, while
the profits OF Yoakum and his associ-
ates in the promotion of the feeder
lines sold to the Frisco ranged from
ten per cent to more than 100 per
cent.

According to the figures introduced
into the record by Examiner Brown,
Yoakum made a profit of $52S,41S by
the sale of the st. Louis, Brownsville
& Mexico railway to the Frisco.
The total amount of profits from all
the lines Investigated at the ST Louis
hearings amounted to s7.413,000. all of
which went into the pockets of the
promoters, and was at the same time
