COMMITTEE FOR
WOMEN'S VOTES
Senator Ashurst Reports Fav-
ordbIy For Franchise
He RECOMMENDS A TEST
Report Says Granting of Vote to Wo-
men Would Add to Justice and Fair.
ness of Government.

Washington, June Ex-senator As
hurst submitted the report of the wo-
mans suffrage committee recommend
ing the passage of the Chamberlain
resolution for a constitutional amend
ment extending suffrage to women.
I'm this republic" says the report,
''the people constitute the govern
ment. They are its creators and its
maintenance; they are the govern
ment. The granting of the elective
franchise to women would add to the
strength, efficiency, justice and fair
ness of government, we have not the
slightest doubt.
"It is anomalous and archaic, in a
free republic, professedly made up of,
controlled by, and administered for all
the people, to deny to one-half of its
citizens the right of exercising val
liable function of citizenship, to wit,
the elective franchise, thus preclude
that one-half from the right and power
to say what law or policy shall be its
rule of conduct. And this anomaly be-
comes. odious and abhorrent when we

citizenship thus excluded is the iden-
tical one-half from which springs so
much wisdom, courage, cheer, hope
and good counsel"
The report sets forth that the things
to be considered in granting equal
franchise, are whether women as a
class will vote whenever full oppor-
| f,,p ifv &c, nff of nf n
hend the questions upon which they
vote; attempt to learn something OF
the character and fitness of the per-
son for whom they vote; vote against
dishonest persons for office; oppose
dishonest measures; refuse, directly
or indirectly, to accept bribe, and
refuse, directly or indirectly, to give a
bribe; place country above party; re-
cognize the result of the election as
the will of the people and therefore as
the law and continue to fight for a
righteous, although defeated, cause so
long as there is a reasonable hope OF
success"
I'VE submit" the report concludes,
that the class of voters sought to be
enfranchised by this resolution an
swer each and everyone of these inter-
rogatories with distinguished credit to
itself and that it fully, fairly and in
good faith measures up to these re-
quirements.i We, therefore. upon all
grounds, conclude that the Restitution
should be submitted to the states for
their adoption or ratification"
Senator Ashurst said he would use
forceful energies to secure vote on
the resolution at the special session.
but that he would not press it in such
a way as to arouse opposition or inter-
fere with tariff legislation.

FOR HOW LONG?
Cambridge Raises Pertinent
Question.

When neighbor tells us that
be has recovered from serious
illness, the first question that ma
turally arises is, How long will
he keep well?" Temporary relief
is one thing. but lasting cure is
altogether different. There is moth
ing temporary about the work of
Doan's Kidney Pills, as the follow
ing Cambridge evidence proves be-
yond a doubt.
Mrs. Roland III. Bassett, SIG Hen
ry St., Cambridge, Nd, says: .1

and I could not do my housework
as 1 should. l suppose that my
kidneys had been weak for years.
as I had always had more or less
pain n them after catching cold or
overworking. A relation, who had
used Doan's Kidney Pills, recon-
mended them to me, and I got a
box at Bradshaw's Pharmacy. They
proved their merits by removing
the trouble. I have not had one
symptom of kidney trouble since
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me some
years ago. I gave them my endorse
ment at that time, and gladly con-

London, June 14.-British cabinet
ministers were absolved by the parlia-
mentary committee from all blame in
connection with the scandals alleged
to have surrounded the contracts be,
tween the British goyer's<Hszt and the

ministers concerned acted throughout
in the sincere belief that there was
nothing in their action which would
conflict with their duty as ministers
of the crowd.
The majority of the parliamentary
committee was composed of Liberal
and Radical members of parliament

Law Into Effect Next Spring.
Chicago, June IA. = County Judge
Owens expects to have women watch
ers at the polls next spring, now that
the legislature has passed woman's
suffrage law, which Governor Dunno
will sign.
Watchers must be householders, but
the judge believes he will have to
trouble in finding enough women of
this class. Three watchers are required
at each polling place, and one of these
will be woman if Judge Owens can
accomplish it. The new law requires
a separate booth for the women, which
will simplify the work.

NEW PHAGAN
EVIDENCE
ConIey's Admission Strengthens
Rumor That He Saw Child
lust Before Staying.

Frank A. Hooper. associated with
Solicitor Dorsey in the prosecution of
Leo NJ. Frank on the charge Of
strangHng Mary Phasan, admitted
Saturday that Jim Conley. negro
sweeper at the National Pencil Fac
tory, had made important additions
to the story Of his part in the muir
der mystery and had told Of circum-
stances on the day Of the crime
which he had revealed in none Of his
previous statements.
A persistent report that ConIey had
made the startling admission that he
had seen Mary Phagan enter the fac
tory on the day she was slain arose
at the time the negro was questioned
more than an hour by Solicitor Dor
sey early in the week, and this ru-
NOR was heightened after Attorney
Hooper's interview with the negro
Friday.
In all Of his statements to the de-
tectives Conley denied he saw the
girl at all on the day of the crime
until he was Mortified by the sight Of
her dead body lying in the rear OF
the second floor where he was d.
rected by Leo Frank Solicitor Dor
sey is believed to have wrung the
statement from him that he did see
Mary Phagan when she came in the
door of the factory and went to the
second floor to Franks ONCE.
Hooper Mum on Topic.
Mr.. Hooper refused either to at
Arm or deny this report, declaring
that his connection with the case was
SO recent that he would not be war
rantsd in making any definite state
ment for publication in reference to
the evidence in the possession Of the
prosecution.
His attention was called to the fact
that while in all Of the published
statements of Conley the negro de-
MED seeing Mary Phagan go into the
factory, no one connected with the
prosecution could now be induced to
say that ne still stuck to this parttc
ulAr and puzzling feature of his
story. Mr.. Hooper, however, would
make no comment on the circum-
stance.
He contented himself with the gen.
eral assertion that the State has
| big stack Of evidence of which the
defense Is in entire ignorance and Of
which they will remain in ignorance
| until 1t is presented when Frank is
placed on trial for his life
Il went to the police station yes
terday merely fSr the purpose of hav-
ing Couley r6nearSe MS story 10 me,
said Mr. Hooper. 1T is true that he
told me Of a number of circumstances
of which l had been in ignorance be-
fore, circumstances which have a
most important bearing on the case.
He made additions to his story
| which, while they were along the
same general line as his last affida-
Wit, gave a detail that assisted me
remarkably in getting much clearer
idea of the events as they happened
on that day.
viii BE Revealed at Trial. .
IT can not tell what they were. They
will be revealed when the trial is in
actual progress. Mr.. Dorsey has
guarded his evidence carefully and
has refratned from trying his case in
the papers. II 1t were not presump-
tuous for me to step in and give this
evidence away to the public and to
the defense it would at least be
| most unwise.
