WOMEN WILL DECIDE
 FATE OF SALOONS
324 Townships in Illinois to Settle
 Liquor Traffic Today.
SUFFRACETTES RUN FOR COUNCIL
Extra Heavy Police Details on
 Duty in Chicago. Wards Where
 ment Prevails.

Chicago, April 7.-Upon the votes today of women depended the fate of more than 5000 saloons in Illinois outside of Chicago. In 324 town ships in sixty-seven counties they went to the polls to express their at titude toward the liquor traffic.
 Fifty thousand down-state women were eligible to vote. If there was any hope that inclement weather would keep the women in their homes it was blasted by the early returns.
 The local option question was not voted on in LaSalle county, Judge Craig of the state supreme court hav- ing last night issued a writ of super sedeas preventing consideration of the proposition.
 Fighting Was Frequent.
 At Pana, Christian county, the peti- tion to place the local option question on the ballot was thrown out by court action and new one was filed, but so late printers were compelled to work all night to get out new ballots. Several men tried to break through the guard which the anti-saloon forces placed about the printing shop and fist fighting was frequent. Twen- ty-one saloons are involved in the county.
 Every available policeman and a large force of extra deputy sheriffs were sworn in and placed on guard at the polls at Springfield to prevent threatened trouble. Anti-saloon work CTS asserted that 200 saloons in the capital would be voted out of ex- istence before nightfall. and feeling was running high.
 Defeated in Past.
 At Bloomington, Quincy and Free port local option has been defeated in the past by small majority and the enemies of the saloon were de- pending upon votes of the women to win for their cause.
 For the first time in Chicago women today went to the polls and enjoyed equal rights with the men in an al-s dermanic election.
 More than 217,5OO women had registered, and election officials esti- riated that more than eighty per cent. Of those registered woudl vote today. The number of men registered totalled 455,2S3.
 For fear that many of the women might spoil their ballots in casting their first vote, nearly d half million extra ballots were distributed at the polls. Fresh ballots were given to those who requested them.
 Police Details on Duty.
 Extra heavy police details were on duty in several of the wards where there are close contests.
 Although twelve important proposi- tions appeared on the ballot besides names of the aldermanic candidates, most of the interest in tod'ay's election was in the success of the eight women ca dddates for council and the general result of the women's vote.
 One of the propositions voted on today provides for the building of a comprehensive subway system at cost of $130,0OO,000.
 The polls opened at o'clock and closed at o'clock.

C., in April, 1912, when her husband neglected her and at a skating rink pulled chair from under her, injuring her. A similar episode was in Hartford a month later. She said that the following July, while she was on a sofa having a crying spell" her husband put his hand over her mouth, nearly smoth- ering her. Tn January, 1913, after returning from a dance her husband pushed her into the gutter, spraining her ankle, and that he then ran away. She declared that her husband had humiliated her by not noticing friend of hers and when she spoke Of it to him he secured a revolver. brandished it, pointed it at himself and then at her and said:
 "One of us had better go!'
 Suffered Many Indignities.
 Another instance of alleged cruelty was the throwing of broken sofa leg at her. She declared she had suffered many indignities as well as cruelties.
 MT. Yelling was always cruel on Sundays" said the wife. He was silent, cold and frequently angry. One day when he was cutting bread he threatened me with a knife.'
 She said that when she told him she was tired of paying for his cig- arettes he hurled a heavy book at her. Once he pulled her hair tell ing her she looked like Bluebeard's wife. One day., she. declared. he jabbed pin in her back leaving it sticking there, and the wound bleed- ing.
 Tired of Family.
 "On May 30, 1913, MT. Yelling said he was going to leave me-" said Mrs. Yelling. 1T told him if he did it would kill my father, who had been dangerously sick. MT. Yelling said. he did not care, he hoped it would; he said he was tired of the whole d. Hooker family. He hoped to see me in h; he guessed we would both go to h.; it was h. to live with me anyway and he had had enough of the whole Hooker fam ily."
 Mrs. Yelling declared that her hus- band had said he wished her dead; he swore at her, told her he hated her, and she was so afraid that she locked herself in her room.
 Lost Seventeen Pounds.
 "I lost seventeen pounds last spring." she said.
 Mrs Yelling said the final separa- ton was August IA, 1913. Her hus- band that day told her she spent too much time on her face and he was tired of looking at it.

PRESIDENT WILSON STILL UNDECID|
Prominent Politicians Have No PIa(
 In Eligible List Being Consider(
 By Chief Executive-Aspiran Names Kept Secret.

Washington, April 7.-By the tin final steps toward the organization the twelve federal reserve banks hal been taken, which is expected to within another month, President WI son will send to the senate the naml of five men who, with the secretaj of the treasury and the comptrolll of the currency, will compose the fe| eral reserve board and put into oper] ton the nations new currency sy tenn.
 The president to date has not d termined on single name. He h| made no offers and really has not b| gun individual consideration to al extent. He has before him data col corning long list of men who hal been recommended to him as wortl of places on the board. Informatid about their qualifications, and pd sonality has been carefully prepar} for the president so that he can h| gin the sitting process practical without need of further inquiry.
 Names Kept Secret.
 Few people, perhaps less thi half dozen, know just wh| names are before the president, butt is understood that some of the biggd men in the country are on the list.
 One of the reasons for extrer, secrecy is the uncertainty whethI those who eventually will be offerI places on the board will accept. Sonl of the men being considered receij salaries of $25,O00 and $3O,000 a yeI in their present positions in the fina, cial and business world, and wou| have to make sacrifices to take tl salary of $12,000 allowed membq| of the board
 Politicians Not Considered.
 The president has not made up n mind definitely on the character the personnel of the board. but thoI is reason to believe that two. men banking experience, two men of t( business world, with a knowledge finance, and an economist of recoI nized ability will be named. It Is sal to be quite possible that three bud ness men, one banker and an ecoI omist may be finally decided upoI though the trend is in favor of tl first named order.
 One thing is certain, and this ! that the men who are on the preS dents eligible list are not prominel in politics.
 No Weight in Selections.
 MT. Wilson has determined thatp litical considerations shall not wei1 in his selections. Already, it is sa a man of big business and bankil who would have been f ted for the board has been eliminat( ! from consideration because of bri period of active participation democratic politics.
