were attacked in the resolutions which
were unanimously adopted.
The first resolution adopted by the
association sounded imperative

CONGRESS DELAY
ON DRY MEASURE
Hobson Decides Not to Press
Vote on National Prohibi-~
ton Bill Now.
SUFFRAGE ALSO TO WAIT
Petitions for Another Hearing Before
House Committee Are
In Vain.

Washington, d. c., May 21.-Pros-
poets for action at this session of con-
gress on either the nationwide pro-
hibition or the woman suffrage pro-
posed constitutional amendments faded
further away yesterday as the result
of developments in the house.
While presenting to the house two
kilograms from religious gatherings,
praying for congressional action on
the prohibition resolution, Represen-
tative Hobson of Alabama, its sponsor,
announced that for the present he did
not purpose to press it. He gave as a
reason that many members of the
house, particularly from southern
states. who are for prohibition have
been frightened by the section which
bears on states rights
Representative Mondell, author of
the suffrage amendment resolution,
said he purposed to urge his measure.
Two delegations yesterday vainly
sought to have the house rules COM
mittee accord another hearing on suf-
frage. One of the delegations COM
prised Virginia suffragists and the
other was the group of women.
Chairman Henry told both of them
that he could not call the committee
together to consider the suffrage ques-
ton.
Thomson for Hobson Bill.
In circular letter to his constitu-
ents of the Tenth district of Illinois.
Representative Thomson, a progress
sive, yesterday announced that he
would vote in favor of the Hobson |
resolution. Mr.. Thomson says he will |
support the resolution because he is |
opposed to the manufacture and sale |
Of intoxicants for beverage purposes.

Woman Refuses to Testify at Trial
AT the inquest held over the body Of
Eulalio Rangel, Mexican murdered at
Ottumwa by Rafel Davila as the result
of a quarrel which began in Daven-
port, Mrs. Maggie Davila, wife of the
murderer. was not placed on the stand
and the sensational testimony which
she is expected to give was not brought
out. Coroner Elerick had County At
torney Steck called, but the fact that
her husband was the man held re-
sponsible for the killing gave the wife
the right TO refuse to testify. The
mother-in-law of the slayer, Mrs. Eva
Doud. at whose home the shooting oc-
CURED, had also assumed a different
attitude since the time of the murder.
Mrs. Doud and her daughter had no
doubt as to whom they saw do the
shooting Saturday, but at the inquest
the younger woman refused to testify
and her mother said that she did not
know who the man was that entered
the house and shot Rangel. Two pic
lures of the Davila woman were found
among the effects of the dead man
when the coroner searched his clothes.
A number of letters that teemed with
endearing terms and sent by The Da-
villa woman to Rangel while he was in
Davenport mad Bettendorf, where he |
worked in a foundry, were also found |
in the dead mans pockets. When the |
coroner attempted to quiz Mrs. Davila |
regarding the letters and pictures she |
refused to testify and had two lawyers |
for counsel. Her mother refused to
identify the letters as having been
written by her daughter and said the
pictures were not given Rangel and
that he must have taken them from
the home. The coroner's jury return
&c verdict without naming any per-
son other than that death was caused
by three gunshot wounds, the gun in
the handso some person unknown to
the jury. A more thorough investiga-
ton will be made by the coroner and
county attorney.
VandaIs Sought by AuthoritIes-
Plain clothes men on the Davenport
police force have been placed on the
rail OF vandals who paid a nocturnal
visit to the Lewis home, 419 Kirkwood
wrecking flower beds, tear
ng up plants by the roots, and cutting
great holes in the lawn. The wanton
destruction has caused heavy loss
o Mr.. Lewis. an employee at the Cor
ion-Van Tine company. and Chief
'chramm has actively interested him
elf in the case. The police are OF the
opinion that the work is that of certain
'nemies of Mr.. Lewis. No other
lower beds or lawns were touched in
hat particular neighborhood, all of
which strengthens the belief that the
amage was wrought with an idea of
aging OF a grudge.
