WOMAN
IS DEAD

Mrs. John c. Su. u.llivan, one of our
oldest and best known pioneer wom-
en-, died suddenly at the family home
in San Diego this morning. The news
of her passing came as shock to her
friends and relatives here. ,Sevsn
years ago she was critically III for
months, but she partially regained
her health. Four years later the
family moved to the coast and the
change in altitude wrought wonders
in her condition.
Mrs. Sullivan's resident in Colo
rado dates back to '69,when she To-
Gated in the eastern part of the state
with her aunt and uncle. She
was married to John C. Sullivan in
'76 and in the waning days of that
decade the young people moved to
the Animas valley. For over 30 years
they were prominently associated
with the history of the country. Mr.
Sullivan first served as peace of
+icei and later after they located in
Durango was our postmaster for
years.
Idrs. Sullivan was devoted wife
and mother, good neighbor and true
friend. The Sullivan home was u
haven of rest for the tired wayfarer.
All we're welcomed. Many indeed are
the old time people that remember
with kindly feeling the debt of graf
itude they owe her, and will learn of
her death with a sense of personal
loss.
In addition to the bereaved hus-
band, Mrs. Sullivan is survived by six
children. John Sullivan who resides
in Durango leaves for San Diego to-
morrow to attend the funeral. His
wife will accompany him.

Rumors this afternoon that Sulzer
agreed to resign when the Legislature
reconvenes Monday night if impeach-

lead to no further attempt being
made to disqualify him from holding
office. However, both sides have de
MED that he has agreed to resign.
The prosecution rested this after
noon. The defense has requested a
recess until Monday. They gave as
the excuse that they were unprepared
to proceed Immediately and wanted
time to prepare motions and to de-
eide a future course.
Judge Cullen suggested the court
decide the question by vote order
ed at an executive session. 1t is re-
ported the appeals judges oppose a

DAUGHTER OF LADY
SACkVILLE MARRIES

LONDON, Oct. There was q
romantic sequel to the recent Scott
Sackville will suit, in which Lady
Sackville established her right to
over $3,000,000 begueathed her by
the late Sir John Murray Scott, when
Hon. Victoria Sackville West, daugh-
ter of Lady Sackvilie, was married
to Harold Nicholson, of the British
foreign office. The bride, who is 81
years Of age, is a charming girl, and
very popular in society, but since the
will suit she has become famous all
over England as "Kidlet," the pet
name bestowed upon her by Sir John
Scott. The bridegroom, who is sew
eral years older, is the son of Sir
Arthur Nicholson permanent under
secretary at the foreign office.
Scott's executors contented the
will alleging that Lady Sackville, who
was proved to have practically con-
trolled Sir John, had exercised un-
due influence. The many affection
ate letters from Scott, which were
read in court, frequently referred To
"Kidlet" and it was thus today's
bride became famous. Her father
Lord Sackville, is a nephew of the
Lord Sackville, who while British am
bassador at Washington was the
cause of the famous Sackville Incl
dent, which resulted in his recall, at
the request of the United States gov
ernment. Her mother was an illegi.
innate daughter of the ambassador
by the Spanish dancer Pepita, and
suitably ended the Sackville peerage
suits by marrying her cousin, the
present peer.

MISS WICK HAM ARRANGING
ITINERARY OF PANKHURS1

NEW YORK, Sept. Miss Lean
Wickham who came here from Eng
land to arrange the itinerary of her
leader, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst,
does not believe that votes for wo-
men will prove "A panacea for all ills.
She does believe, however, as she said
in a special interview granted the
United Press today, that it will mean
a great step towards the single stand
ard of morality.
"Many thousands of men and
enough women to make me ashamed
of the fact" she said, oppose equal
franchise rights for women SO stren-
uously for the simple reason that
they know consciously or subcon-
sciously, that it will mean single
standard of morality. This will not
come in a day or a week or year
1t will come slowly but it will come
1 do not need to go into details and
explain why this will be. 1t is all
too obvious. 1t will mean that women
will learn more of the details OF
what is going on in city or town
and when women who want the vote
learn finally just how some of their
men disport themselves, it will mean
the end of what you in America cal
the tenderloin."
Miss Wickham refused to say
whether she believed segregation oil
complete suppression of the tender
loin would be good thing.
"Mrs. Pankhurst is to discuss thai
subject when she comes here" she
said, "and / prefer not to express my
own views. l will say, however, that
