 SUFFRACETTES
Trouble Starts at Forty fifth Convention When Alice Paul Charges Con gressional Union Fails to Carry Out Instructions
TAssocIATED PRESS D1sPATcH1

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-The storm cloud which lowered low for time today over the closing session of the forty fifth annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage association, cleared away just before adjournment. The trouble started when Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the congressional committee, also leading worker of the congressional union, an affiliated society, presented her report. It was charged on the floor that the congressional committee ignored the in structions from national board by re fusing to collect it's funds through the national socitty's treasurer.
 After much discussion, a resolution was adopted instructing the congress sional committee to act in the future in accordance with the boards desires and then Miss Paul's report was ap- proved
 The special committee to discuss plans for holding together the organi- zations in the states that have already attained woman suffrage so as to have their help in the work for the consti- tutional amendment was agreed upon by the executive committee
 Hearings before the house committee on rules relating to the proposed crea- ton of q standing committee on equal suffrage closed here late today. The last hours of the hearing were occupied by champions of the suffrage move ment directed by Catherine Waugh McCulIOch of Chicago. They answered those who opposed woman suffrage and who had argued against any federal recognition of the suffrage question. No action on the resolution which would provide a house equal suffrage committee Was taken but it is reported that many members of the committee are seriously considering the extension of that authority to the present com mittee on the election of the president and vice president to consider woman's

RULES N. INCONVENIENCE
Republican State Confer ence Results in Forced Approval of the Direct or Statewide Primary Law in Empire State
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl

NEW YORK, Dec. 5-The radicals ruled the republican state conference
 thls afternoon and forced the ap- proVal of the direct or statewide primary law. State Chairman William Barnes motion to rcaffirm the more conservative primary plank in the last republican platform was defeated by a vote of 192 to 1S- Radicals led by Henry l.. Stimson, former sec retary of war, split with Barnes and lis followers over the question of re- t@ining the party convention The state chairman's proposition was that the conference favor the direct nom nation of congressman. members of the state legislature and county nun icipal officers, but keep the state convention for the nomination of governor and other officers of the state. -.-.-
 Delegates to this convention would be chosen directly by the voters who should have the right also to expect direct preference for nominations for state officers if so desired This did not suit MT Stimson and his friends. and after d long debate they carried q small majority of the conferees with them. The resolution adopted declared that the old candidates should stand on an equal footing.
 It opposed the use of the party emhlems on the general election bal let and the factional column If the primary ballot. At tno same time it e1 pressed belief in party organization and reiterated the doctrine of former Governor Hughes that the direct primary should be an adjunct to and q check upon rather than q substi- ute for the delbeTation and confer ence of the party's representatives.
 The conference was called bv the s,ate committee to recommend Iceis- i2tion to the republican members of the state assembly which was returned to republican control in the last cleo tion. Since nearly all the republican assemblNmen-e elect participated in the conference, it's recommendations are considered binding and were accepted as the program of the assembly ma 1'fItN at the next regular session he meeting recommended the adop- ton of vigorous compulsory work in2men's compensation law and tho reform of the rules of the assembly,

Alfalfa that is three feet and three inches from the ground to tip, cut in large quantities per acre at a ranch near Phoenix on December ,. is the way Harry Welch tagged an interesting exhibit brought to the board of trade yesterday. The alfalfa was the prop erty of one E. H. Williams whose ranch is on the south side of the river.
 While the daily papers are full of stories of snow and ice the soaring prices of coal and wood, the stoppage of traffic by reason of heavy falls of the beautiful-aH the said reports com- ing from the north and east, Arizona farmers cut three foot alfalfa on the fifth day of December. Quite a nice little boost
 When Williams brought in the stalks of alfalfa, Welch took them to his heart with murmured words of appreciation It was just what he wanted. Where the daily papers can give but a few words to descriptions of that three foot alfalfa, riven from the earth at the late date of December ,, WeIch is in po- Sition to have verbal "ecstatics'' over the find in several more formal prints that are public. Add to the above sta ustlcs the following and the total makes respectable advertisement for Salt River valley Arizona.
 Williams alfalfa was cut from a ffeId that yielded an excellent crop no longer than six weeks ago. The last cut made about ton and d half to the acre. all of fine clean hay.

Gently submitted a report of the high
cost of living. together with facts and
figures regarding wag scales, freight
rates, etc. Criticism is directed against
marketing methods, particularly of
housekeepers. Following are some of
the findings along this line:
"A h~ousekeeper can buy two pounds
of fish for 40 cents, but orders it sliced
for frying and pays 80 cents.
Boiled homeless ham is generally
purchased and the added cost is from
rs to 40 per cent.
Coffee is bought ground and in tin
packages. instead of bought in the bean
and ground in the kitchen.
Few buy a side of bacon and slice it
as needed. They buy In small guam
titles, enough for one meal at a time,
and pay to have it sliced as well. The
result is an increase in cost of 40 per
cent.
Crackers are bought in paper car
toons, when a ten pound wooden box
would keep them dry and crisp and
could be purchased for 40 per cent less,
There is a tendency to depart from
the methods of buying practiced in the
past and an absence of to be
found on all sides. This explains ar
added cost of living of at least % pei
cent and probably more to the average
