EQUAL SUFFRAGE MEETING

srF $1,000 - 800 EsH.F--E et
Miss Anna Martin. president of
the Equal Suffrage Association Of
Nevada. and Miss Mabel Vernon,
state organizer. addressed q fair
sized meeting in front Of the Com
mereial Hotel Thursday night.
Judge Taber called the meeting
to order and introduced Miss Mar
tin as the first speaker. She was
received with applause. In the
course of her remarks Miss Martin
said that "Nevada's greatest ne. d
is for more women as Nevada has
the lowest percentage of women in
any state of the United States
$4,000 women over 2l.years of age
as compared with 10000 men. A
great state with prosperous homes
and farms a be built up only by
men and women. working together,
and Nevada. the only non-suffrage
state in the west, should be made
an inviting place for women to come
to. by enfranchising them at the
next election"
At the conclusion of Miss Mar
TINS remarks. Miss Vernon was in
truduced. She called attention to
the fact that the demand of wo-
men for the right of suffrage is
not based on the principle of abb
stract Justice alone, but on the de-
sire of women to continue to do the
work that is traditionally theirs
the care OF the home and children.
Government today" said Miss
Vernon, docs not mean merely
the maintenance of armies and
nayies, of jsils and penitentiaries.
but it means the education of chill
dren, the care of the sick, the pre-
yention Of disease and the reguls-
tions Of affairs that have to do with
the home. The government is do
ing a goodly share of the work
that was once entirely in the hands
nf women and absolutely under
their control. Women are asking
for power to do their own work
Effectively and expediIously."
She appealed to Nevada men TO
live up to the reputation for pro-
gress and liberality that western
people have all over the country.
She declared that Nevada would
be marked as q backward or pre-,
gressiys state, according to the ar
tion the men take on woman
suffrage at the nsxt election.
The ladies were given a respect
fnl herring and their remarks were
frequently punctuatsd By applause.
There was considerable noise on
the street aud the Alabama Min
strel band played a piece OK two,
but the ladies stuck to their work
and made a very favorable imprea-
sion.
They left this morning IN their
automobile to make y tour Of La
noble valley.

WEATHER THE THING
 IN COTTON MARKET
Texas News Will Probably Be Feature of the
 Market

New Orleans, Marca -9.-The weather will be the thing in the cotton market this week. The trade will eagerly watch all of the southern sections of the belt io which planting ought to be well under way during the next fortnight
 Texas news probably will be the fea- ,tuIe in the market this week, as that state will attract moSo attention than any other because of the unfavorable weather that has handicapped the farm CTS in the early producing counties. These early counties play a more important Fart in the market than is justified. merely by the number of bales of cot ton they raise. It is in this section of the belt that early movement of the crop comes from and the early move nent this year is more important than usual because of the old crop situa- ton and the strong demand for good grades of spots. Further unfavorable de- velopments in south Texas would tend to offset favorable developments over a much wider area in the latest portions of the cotton country
 Bears predict falling off in the ex- filing of March shipments. On the other hand the bulls say that any falling off in exports and the spot demand will be quickly reflected in a falling off in the movement into sight and the into sight has been a bear arugment for long time.

LIQUOR QUESTION
 STIRRING COUNTRY
National w. C. T. U. Worker in Kan sas City Address Declares the
 Whole Country Is Astir

Kansas City, March 29.-"If you have any money in the liquor business, get 1t out. and get it out quick. In five years brewery stock in this country will not be worth as much as Confederate money was in 1S65,'' declared Mrs. Mary Harris Arnor of Macon, Ga., addressing an ln- terstate national Women's S Christian Tenn perance union rally held here today Ali other meeting was held tonight. The states of Missouri Colorado, Nebraska Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Mis- sissippi were represented at the two gatherings which were the first of d series of interstate meetings to be con vened throughout the country to fight for national constitutional prohibition.
 Mrs. Armor was the principal speaker in the absence of Mrs. Lillian M. N, Stevens national president, who remained at her home in Portland, Ore.
 ''No question has stirred America since the days of slavery as the liquor ques- ton is stirring us.' she said. Every where you can see the lines drawing tighter. The whole country is astir. The liquor men never were so desperate. There may be boodshed; let 1t come. No blood could be shed for a nobler cause than national constitutional prohibition. When America adopts national prohibl- ton the world will follow.
 "We are in this fight for national con- stitutional prohibition to win, and if the present Congress does not pass the Hob Sheppard resolution submitting the question to a vote of the states it will be a great surprise. Already the Woma a s Christian Temperance union national headquarters has forwarded to Washing tin the names of 2.00o,O00 bona fde voters in this country who petition for constitu- tional prohibition, and we have just started to interest the men. The women want prohibition and the women are go- ing to have their way"

Serious reprisals also were threat ened, particularly if the government at- tempted the militarization of the railway men. which would mean calling them out under arms and enforcing military dis cipline.

Believed Assault Repulsed

Juarez, Mex, March 29.---It was be- lieved here today that General Villas assault on Torreon last night was re- pulsed or that some incident had pre- vented the attack. The last word from the rebel general came at Il o'clock last night when telegram from hir, was quoted as saying that the taking of the city was not matter of hours but of minutes.
 This was premature, for even Gen. eral Carranza on his arrival today said he had received no word from the front and that evidently Villa had not taken the federal stronghold
 The Torreon attack began last Fri day and up to last night rebel ad- General Monclovia Herrera had taken some of the most important points in the city
 There have been no newspaper dis patches dealing with this attack and the similarity of this situation with that at Gomez Palacio Is pointed ou- as significant When Villa was sue cessful there he permitted the news paper men to send their dispatches but when he was repulsed as he was twice. press messages suddenly ceased.
 In Juarez if was confidently ex- pected that news of the capture of the city would form the chief feature os the welcome to General Carranza and the fact that no message of success of any kind was awaiting him was accepted today as indicating that the fft of the city was stilt in the bal ance.
