Decide Upon a Strenuous Cam
paign for the Franchise.
THEIR MONEY TO THE CAUSE
Will Spend No More on Opera
and Fine Feathers.
Will Cut Out All LuXurieS ;
Also Christmas Presents.

Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, october 81
Women of Pennsylvania will be
enfranchised by 1915 by the following
simple manner outlined at the state
convention session:
They must cut down their opera ex-
penses.
They must not buy aigrets and other
extensive hat trimmings, or luxurious
furs.
They must refrain from all luxur-
les.
They must not send Christmas pres
entS.
on the other hand they must contrl-
butte largely and cheerfully to the funos
of the movement.
The delegates attending the conven-
ton in Fort Pitt hotel assented to TINS
proposition without a murmur of dis
approval. The plan was first proposed
by Mrs. J. Claude Bedford, chairman
of the Woman Suffrage association OF
Delaware county. Mrs. H H. Harvey
of Wilkes-Barre said funds for the
movement were more vitality needed
than for foreign missions. Another
delegate then asserted she had stop
ped all her charitable contributions and
will support only the suffrage cause in
the future.
Budget Is $4,000.
The idea of the meeting was that
suffrage in Pennsylvania is assured If
the budget of $4,000 goes through
for the work of organization, bringing
out the vote and gaining support of
legislators. Immediately pledges were
called for and in five minutes $7,20O
was pledged, the Equal Franchise
league of Pittsburg, through its presi-
dent, Mrs. John o. Miller, pledglng
$4,000.
An important event was the passage
unanimously of a resolution calling
upon Senators BoieS PenroSe and
George T Oliver representing the
state, to be present in congress when
the suffrage amendment is presented
and to vote for its adoption.
An amendment was adopted to the
new constitution which will broaden
the associations work. 1t will make
possible the extension of the move
ment to the field of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, the State
Grange and other powerful bodies.
Mrs Frank NJ. Roessing, state preSi-
dent, presided.

Federal Army of Mexico Eyacuates
Chihuahua City.

Dallas, Oct. 31.-A dispatch to the
Dallas News from Ell Paso said Chi
huahua City, Mexico, was evacuated
by federals yesterday, leaving the city
open to capture without resistance by
Pancho Villas rebels. Villas men
had occupied the outskirts of Chi
huahua before the abandonment. The
federals were said to have retreated
toward Juarez. The dispatch adds:
Thousands of American and Mexi-
can citizens who were unable to board
the troop trains are panic stricken.
They have no means of getting away
from the stricken city, ana fear is
held for their lives Many believe
that followers of Orozco will be given
no quarter by Villa during the occupa-
ton of the state capital. What few
residents of the city have horses and
wagons are following in the wake of
the military trains, carrying all their
possessions with them"
The fear for Orozcos sympathizers
is based on resentment expressed by
rebels against him for fighting in the
federal army.

Manufactured goods form the

The report in brief declares for a
campaign of personal evangelism; for
the bringing up of the youth in the
church, for the dedication of one-tenth
of their income to the church, for the
hearty support of all boards created by
the church to assist in civic, indus
trial, social and educational uplift and
reaffirms the action of the general
church on higher education, for large
funds for poorly paid ministers and
for the cause of temperance
The resolutions also contain the
statement made yesterday pleading for
the evangelizing of the world and ac-
cepting responsibility for $50, ,000 900
people.
Before the adoption of the report an
attempt was made to include resolu-
ton in behalf of the superannuated
ministers but this failed.
Bishop Mcdowell in explaining the
report said all the activities of the
church were not included, for the rea-
son that the committee did not wish
to burden It with details to the ex-
clusion of it's spiritual force.
This is not a convention for the
passing of tariff bill or for the revis-
ion of the currency" said the bishop.
1t is a convention solely for stimulat-
ing interest in the kingdom of God"

In the last few years, since the de-
parture of Jacobs from the employ of
the Santa F'e to go into private enter

tation work, nearly all of the mechani-

ELks WILL GREET
 A BROTHER MEMBER
Parade and Gift for Capt Danny Mur-
 Phy to Be Given Tonight.

Thursday night the committee of Norwich lodge of Elks, No. 430, met to complete arrangements for the big re-
 cept1on they mean to give tonight to Capt. Danny Murphy of the world s champion baseball team, the Phiia- delphia Americans, and by the time their deliberations were over they felt assured that their brother Elk would be given royal welcome that would leave no doubt in his mind of the place he has in the hearts of his broth
 CT Elks and in the esteem, of the Nor Wich public in general.
 The outside feature of the evening will be an automobile parade in which Capt. Murphy will be escorted to the Elks' home, where the lodge members will carry out the rest of the pro- gramme.
 Esquire John J. Flynn has been made marshal for the parade and has issued his orders to have all brothers with automobiles assemble at the E1ks' home promptly at 7.45 o'clock this will move promptly at o'clock from the home with Tubbs' band leading the way with martial music and red fire blazing along the way
 The parade will proceed to the gar age on Thames square where Capt. automobile With him will be Jack (Stuffy) McInnis, first baseman of the Athletics: John F. Gunshanan of Hartford, who is an old baseball player and John Green of Philadelphia, who is Capt. MurQhy's guest this week here.
 The Athletics captain in his auto mobile will be taken into the parade which will then move back to the Elks' home.
 At the Home on Main street Nor wich's first citizen in things munici- pal Mayor Murphy will address the city's first citizen in things baseballic and make him a gift which the lodge has prepared for the occasion. The rest of the evening will be given over
 to fraternal sociability in the true EIks' spirit.
 This is the first time the people have
 been able to hail one of their fel- low citizens as the captain of the worlds champions and they do not in tend to let the chance go by with out due recognition.
 Besides being the captain of the top notch baseball team in the game today, Captain Danny is also a loyal citizen of the Rose of New England so that the celebration does not enlist the interest of baseball players alone, and the line of march of the automobile parade tonight will contain many who will remember other things that Capt. Murphy has done for Norwich besides bringing it into notice as the home of the captain of the Philadelphia Ath- letics.
 When the Thermos campaign was on here 8 year ago Capt. Danny put over a home run in the financial cam paign when he rang the bell for a S750 contribution. On the diamond he has been mighty with the bat to come to the aid of his team and he has been no less responsive when calls for his help have been given here.

HAS NO RIGHT
OF EMINENT DOMAIN.
Clause Unconstitutional in Connecticut
 College for Women Charter.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 23-The su- preme court of errors today handed down a decision declaring unconstitu- tional a clause in the charter of the Connecticut College for Women, locat- ed at New London, which gives the institution the right of eminent domain to acquire property.
 The charter was granted by the gen eral assembly of two years ago, and was approved by Governor Simeon k. Baldwin, former chief justice of the supreme court. It is said that the gov ernor made the final draft of the clause in the charter himself By a coinci- dence the decision declaring the clause unconstitutional was written by Jus tice J K. Beach of New Haven, who was recently elevated to the supreme bench of the state by Governor Bald win.
 The case was that of Jeremiah c. Calvert of New London vs. the Con- necticut College for Women. The col lege sought to secure certain lands owned by Mr Calvert, but the parties failed to agree. Thereupon the college sought to make use of the clause in it's charter giving it the right of eminent domain.
 The case was taken to the superior court, where Judge Case rendered a decision sustaining MT Calvert. Upon sustaining the demurrer, the case was taken to the supreme court of errors.
 Judge BeaChs decision is a lengthy one covering 19 pages. He says that the constitutional question raised is whether it is possible to condemn pri- vate property for public use; and as to whether the acquisition of the land by 8 college would constitute use for the public generally. He holds the clause is unconstitutional.

He then asked if the baby was at the house and when she told him it was he said he was going to see it whether she wanted him to or not and that he would wait to go with her

HEARD COMPLAINT
 OF THERMOS COMPANY. New Haven Road Officials Here on Inspection Tour Visited Plant.


 Officials of the public utilities com mission and of the New Haven road were in this city Thursday morning on the annual tour of inspection of the New Haven road. The party arrived on special train at $40, inspecting the Midland division, which begins at Groton station.
 In the party were Engineer C. C. El well of the public utilities commits sion, C. N. Woodward. general super intendent of the grand eastern division of the New Haven road, Superintend- ent Honywiu of the Midland division and Trainmaster Considine of the Mid land
 While here the special train was rolled in on the siding at the plant of the Thermos Bottle company and the officials entered the plant to acquaint dustries on the line and to inquire rel ative to service rendered. The officials were shown over the plant and inform ed by the officials of the Bottle com panX that they expend in freight rates about $160 q day and the complaint was made that they suffer considerable 1 loss from the fact that glass pur- chased in Indiana is transferred from the regulation cars of 50 feet to two smaller cars of 36 feet before the con- signment reaches here. This has been explained by the road agents in this manner, that the roads were, so con structed regarding bridges and cul- verts that they could not accommodate the 50 foot cars
 The New Haven officials stated that the New Haven road could acCommo- date any 50 foot car and were a t a loss to explain the matter further than to state that the exchange of freight from one car to another must be west of New York city. The ThermOS Bottle company has increased the freight business in the city largely and it is only natural the road officials felt an interest in the welfare of the company.
