WOMEN ASK HELP
OF PRESIDENT WILSON.

WASHINGTON March 17.--Pleas
to President Wilson to have him urge
a constitutional amendment for wo-
man suffrage throughout the United
States were personally made today by
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper of New
York; Miss Mary Dixon of Maryland,
Mrs. Claude " Stone, wife of Con-
gressman Stone of Illinois; Mrs. Har-
vey W. Wiley of Philadelphia and
Miss Alice Paul of Washington.
Mrs. Harper told the president that
his book, "The New Freedom" car
ried strong arguments in favor OF
suffrage,
1--WE only ask you to take every
word of what you have said for the
political liberty of men and apply
them to women" she declared.
The delegation was introduced to
the president by Congressman Raker
of California. President Wilson re-
piled that II he did not incorporate a
suffrage paragraph in his message to
the special session of congress, 1t
would not mean he is opposed to SUI
frage. He explained that the special
session will be devoted mainly to the
tariff and other important matters.
"The president was courteous and
sympathetic throughout" declared
Mrs. Harper after the conference. She
then declared that President Roose-
velt was appealed to without result
to provide for suffrage, and that the
suffrage plea to President Taft had
also fallen on deaf ears.

MILLION YOUNG CHINOOK
AT JONES CREEK HATCHERY

More than million young chinook
salmon are now in the troughs at the
Jones creek hatchery awaiting liber-
alton in the Rogue The little fish
are now about an inch and a half in
length, and will be turned out to
shift for themselves within few
more weeks.
Henry j. oMalley. superintendent
of the United States bureau of fish
cries, visited the hatchery Wednes-
day, and later left to inspect the
hatchery at Elk creek. In speaking
of the work being done on the Rogue
Mr.. 0'Malley says:
Approximately $780, 900 salmon
fry and in the vicinity of 5000, 900
steelhead and rainbow trout fry will
be hatched at the Elk creek hatchery
and liberated this spring and sum-
mer in the Rogue river and its trib-
utaries.
In the neighborhood of $500, 900
early chinook salmon eggs were TAX
EN- last fall at the Elk creek hatchery.
Approximately 100000 chinook
salmon eggs were taken at the Ament
dam and 100000 silversides. AL
ready 100000 steelhead trout eggs
have been taken at the Applegate
station, and 1000 trout are being
held for ripening. We should take
at least 100000 trout eggs.
This trout work is all done at
state expense, the state fish AMI
game commission furnish the funds.
The Macleays own the hatchery and
the government operates it. We are
preparing to take rainbow trout eggs
in the Klamath country, particula ly
at Spencer creek. which will be
hatched and liberated in the Rogue.
We will not operate in Fish lake in
the Umpquas this year.
"All of our fish are being held un-
til they reach the lingering stage,
and we confidently expect, within
few years, to make tn, Rogue the
best stocked trout stream in the
country.
"The steelhead taken his year are
the largest we have ever had, averag-
ing over IL pounds in weight The
cessation of commercial fishing for
steelheads is beginning to tell in in
creased quantity and size of fish"

with the old familiar twinkle in his
half-closed grey eyes, sparkling
above ruddy cheeks and close crop
ped grey beard, head Cooked" on
one side.
But the vein of levity vanished as
the personification of "Cannonism"
seriously disclaimed any future po
litical ambitions or reprisals.
II am going to stay in politics
as a citizen" Cannon declared "Pll
never lose interest in politics until
we'll, until I'm dead"
Uncle Joe" said he was not going
to re-engage in active business
I've got a little land, a few
FARMS" he said, "and some bank
stock an some other things. I'm go
ing to look after them and the things
on the farm. Then | hope later to
go down in the Yazoo and st. Francis
country in Mississippi and Arkansas,
where a lot of Illinois folks are in
vesting, and look over the lanG
there"
When asked if he intended to re-
visit Washington often, Cannon sa'd:
"Tll came back maybe to the
Gridiron club dinners, if they invite
me. I'm a member of the Lincoln
Memorial commission, but that will
not bring me back often.
Cannon said he was glad he was
going back home" to a house he
owns.
"Ive lived in a rented house for
ten years-paid over $4,000 rent,
said Uncle Joe. "I'm much ahead OF
the game at that, having had no taxes
to pay"
Cannon said his personal effects
had all been moved except one small
packing box of papers he was storine
in the capitol.

and things, to schools, libraries ano
societies since last fall" said the vet
eran. my, but it was a job. | per

Cannon's official adieu had beer
said long before today. Final hon
ors to the patriarch had been accord
ed in congress and privately. To
DAVIS leave taking was confined to
few intimate friends and other asso
ciates at the capitol.
