st. Louis. April 1.-Crimes against
women have increased almost 100 per
cent in st. Louis since the board Of po-
lice commissioners month ago abol-
ished the segregated vice quarters. This
is indicated in the police records Of the
last month, published today.
Since the resorts on Lucas avenue
were closed complaints have been COM
ing in from all parts Of the city and the
former inmates of the segregated quar-
ter are invading the residence and bus.
mess parts of the town. Police investi-
cation has disclosed that many women
are now active in manicuring and mas
sage parlors.
A resolution now before the lower
branch of the municipal assembly calls
for an investigation Of the sudden in
crease in the number Of these massage
parlors in fashionable residence quar-
ters. In a raid on newly established
manicuring parlor in a south side resi-
dence block few days ago, the police
found four women known to have been
driven from the segregated area.

Mrs. Alice Curtice Meyer. of st. Louis

yesterday in behalf Of woman suffra ge.
After the interruption had continued

way some of you men treat me 1t Is
hard to believe some Of you ever had

"Oh. sister. that's where you're dead

tually prevent the sale Of cocaine and
morphine.
In an analysis Of the bill. which was
given to the senate finance committee
by Charles b. Towns, expert on drugs
and the dope evil" the, inadequacies
and faults of the measure as 1t STANDS
are pointed out. DR.. Towns wrote an
other measure as a substitute FOR the
pending one. His substitute was turn
ed down by the committee.
The chief trouble with the bill as II
stands Is in section 6. This excerpts
from regulation by the federal govern
ment preparations and remedies which
do not contain more than two grains
of opium or more than one-fourth OF
a grain of morphine. or more than one
twelfth Of grain Of heroin, or more
than one grain Of codetne. or any SAT-
or derivatives of any Of them In one
fluid ounce. or, If a solid or semi
solid preparation in one avoirdupois
ounce, or to linaments. ointment. or
other preparations which are prepared
for external use only"
DR.. Towns says that no legislation
could be more favorable to the CHIEF
promoters Of the drug habit than just
such exceptions as are made In the
bill now before the senate. He believes
that the writing Of this clause upon the
statute books would at once be follow
ed by the introduction into the market
Of many new preparations which would
contain drugs of the sort included IN
the exceptions.
Expert testimony says one OF the
greatest public menaces in the line OF
dope" are the six or eight hundred
com positions which section OF the
bill would except from regulation.
Those who favor strict federal regula-
ton Of narcotics argue that the super
vision must be rigid and there must
be no loop-ho
It is clear that II the proposed leg
islation is to have teeth the language
of section must be changed and the
avenues toward preparations OF an IN
sidiously poisonous sort must be closed.

SUFFRAGE UP TO STATES.
Southern Woman Tells .confsrsne
Congress Will Never Aid.

Des Moines, April 1-Southern wnom-
en- must proceed in their efforts for
the ballot along different lines from
those pursued by suffragists of the
south, according to Miss Kate Gordon
Of New Orleans who delivered the
principal address at the closing session
Of the Mississippi Valley Equal Suf-
rage Association conference.
Miss Gordon declared herself in fav-
or Of equal suffrage by states as OPP
posed to franchise rights granted by
an amendment to the federal constitu-
ton.
Il do not believe we ever will be
able to secure suffrage by federal
amendment" said Miss Gordon. Il be-
lieve every state has the right to say
who within that state shall vote. with
out national interference. We may
have a situation that other states can
not solve.
Now that the democratic party has
made Of woman suffrage a states
rights matter. southern women are 60
ing to put it up to the democratic party
to grant them suffrage by states.
ITO this end q southern women's
suffrage association has been formed,
an organization which is to be big
power in the south"
Miss Gordon Is president OF this as
ISOLATION. Miss Gordon said the south
ern women would shrink from the me-
cessity Of applying the grandfather
clause to the colored women. She
added that the civil rights Of the COL
ored women would be far better ham
died when women have the vote.
Miss Gordon was interrupted by q
fire Of questions, but she refused to de-
part from her insistence that suffrage
by states was the only method for the
south.

Chicago. April Wheat: The fall
ure Of Liverpool TO respond to our
weakness Yesterday caused a better
feeling in wheat today. At the close
prices were Il a and u higher. Liver
pool reports prospects Of light Argen-
tina shipments and fIrner Russian Of
fers. The principal bullish factor from
a domestic standpoint is a complaint
that rains in the southwest were in
sufficient in the territory most affect
ed. The market today was smaller than
that of the past few days and seemed
more Influenced by corn than any news
regarding wheat.
Corn-There was a marked improve
ment in cash inquiry, shippers admit
ting sales OF 10000. Prices for cash
corn are firmly held and consequently
liberal cash sales are significant of
considerable demand. Shorts were not
disposed to press the market and while
the range was q cents. the bulk of the
trading was done within narrow limits.
The country reports extremely light re-
ceipts and a continuation Of this con-
dition may reasonably be expected for
the next sixty days Purchases OF corn
nv substantial people on all good
breaks are likely to yield profits.
Oats-Oats recovered from an early
smell of weakness and closed firm on
the rally in corn. Cash demands is
fairly good, but our cash oats continue
70 press for sale in our markets and tc
be offered abroad in competition Witr
our product.
Provisions-The light western hos
run was the cause Of uneasiness on the
part of shorts and good rally result
ed in prices. The demand for lard anc
ribs was particularly good. On the
rally there was selling by scattered
holders as we'll as from source cred
tied to some Of the smaller packers.

Chicago, April 3-Altho unexpected
" steady cables from Liverpool put
some strength into wheat today the
effect was not lasting. Bearish crop
conditions and lack Of export demand
led to renewed selling. Diminishing
supplies in Argentina and Australia
counted temporarily on the side OF the
bulls. Opening prices were unchanged
to h@h higher and there was some
further advance but then came de-
cided setback.
Subsequent advices of a little export
business at New York resulted in u
fresh upturn. The close was firm, at
A@s to " net advance.
Corn.
Corn gave way with wheat after q
moderate bulge due to coverfng by
shorts. Country offerings indicated a
belief in lessened necessity for feed
owing to the mild weather. The mar
ket, which opened a shade to Is q 4

broke sharply.
