AMERICAN WIFE
.TOFIGHT TOLAST.
COURT FOR VOTE
Denied Franchise by California
Courts, Mrs. Gordon Carries
Battle to Washington.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11--Right
up to the highest court in the land IS
to go the appeal of Mrs. Ethel Coope
Gordon, wife of Mackenzie Gordon. an
Englishman, that she be permitted
her inalienable rights of citizenship
as bestowed upon her by the male
electors Of California.
The California Supreme Court de-
cided against Mrs. Gordon when she
brought suit to compel Registrar Ze-
mansky to register her as an Ameri-
can citizen.
at is not merely my own citizen
ship that is involved" said Mrs. Cor
dom. There are 100000 women in
the equal suffrage States, and many
of these are doubtless in the same
predicament as myself l think 1t is
a matter which should be sifted thor
oughly and settled.
at is" she said, with laugh, Just
another fight for suffrage that ! am
making alone"
So in the Gordon household there
is just one American citizen, Macken-
gle Gordon, Jr, months old, whose
ballot Is worrying him not at all,
MY mother" said Mrs. Gordon,
would have the same standing ! have
were II not IOI the IdCl
Their is dead She Is an American and
he was an Englishman. Because she
is a widow she votes, while !. be-
cause my Scotch husband is alive, can
have no voice in my country's af-
fairs.
"They will not let me be natural
lied, either. I don't want to get the
ballot through my husbands naturali-
zatlon He will do 1t for me, but
many foreign husbands would not do
II for their wives. SO | think 1t is a
matter which should be settled by an
act of Congress II II can not be ar
ranged any other way"
AS a final shot at interpreting citi-
zenship. Mrs. Gordon declared:
IF they give us equal rights really,
II should mean that my husband by
marrying me became an American
citizen. II a foreign woman marrics
an American man she can vote ut
once Why should not the same APP
ply to a foreign MANI"

Benton Harbor and Paw, Paw, Spen-
Ger said with cOntemptuous en-
phasls:
SCOTS at Rural ConstabIes.
You will find that all those women
and men were murdered just as }
say, and l did it with these hands.
These country constables don't know
anything. If you will look into the
matter yourself you will find out that
I have told you the truth"
Just then a telegram came from
Sheriff Thompson at st. Joseph,
Mich, which was regarded as con-
firming Spencer confession of kill
ing Bessie Connors there. II read:
'Woman killed here June II last at
Beechwood Pond. Body found, but
not identified. We have warrant for
arrest of man answering Spencer :
description for about 40 hotel rob-
berries here and at Paw Paw"
The stories that Spencer tells under
stress of the third degree are horri-
BILE in their simplicity. AT times it
seems that he even prides himself on
his achievements. In one case he told
of marrying a German girl to whom.
he referred as Helen Goulds maid
She had $500 in a savings bank, and
he ascertained that fact after he had
known her three days. The next day
he induced her to marry him, as he
said:
I'VE were married by Lee NJ Beat
tie. pastor of the Fifth Avenue Church.
I told her l was a travelling sales
man I told her we would go West
snd buy a farm and live happily, and
