MRS. STUBS PLEASED
WITH WESTERN TRIP
Leader in Fight for Woman's
Suffrage Resumes Her Work
in the Capital.

With her characteristic smile and the
spirit of fight still shining in her eyes,
Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubs. of the Con-
gressional Union, returned to Washing
ton TODAY after a three months cam
paign in the far West, and announced
that she was ready to begin anew the
fight for the enactment of the Bristow-
Mondell resolution.
And we are going to get II, too -
said she, with determined look. I'VE
have behind us this year the organized
vote of more than 100000 women of the
West, and the writing on the wall OF
the November elections has caused all
PARTIES, Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis. to sit UP and take notice.
Now that there are twelve equal
suffrage States. there Is sufficient power
in the hands OF the women of those
states - insure the ultimate granting
of equal suffrage to women in all the
going to stop until that day comes.
Changed Their Minds.
Not only do we expect to get the
RristowMondell resolution passed. -
she added, but we expect to get it
through during this session of Con-
gross. I'm inclined to think the Demo-
Gratis have changed their minds on the
suffrage question since the last ses-
sion"

sion of the suffragist war squad ."

feat of the Democrats at the Novem-
Der elections. and during the past

the policy of organization of the vot-
ing women now being carried out by
the Congressional Union.
She timed her stay in California so
that she might arrive in Washington
in time to begin the Congressional
work with the converting of Congress,
and will remain here all winter.
Leader In the Fight.
Mrs. Stubs was the leading figure
in the fight made by the Congressional
Union during the last session for the
cnaction OF suffrage legislation. and
headed most of the delegations Of
women who made almost daily visits
to the Capitol.
That there will be many more dele
cations during this session and even
more determined women to deal with
than previously, is promised by Mrs.
Stubs. who is already planning new

Gratis.

Persons in Encounter With Mob

London.-The first effect of the
Dublin home rule tragedy has been
to smash Premier Asquith's plans for
taking up the amending bill. The pre-
mier announced that the question has
been postponed Indefinitely. Irish
members are so exasperated over the
killing of four persons and the wound
ing of many others in the clash be-
tween the regular troops and the Ma
tionalist volunteers, that they are in
no frame of mind to grant any con-
cessions to Ulster. The Laborites and
many Liberals support them.
The government announced in the
house of commons that Deputy Police
Commissioner Harrell, who ordered
out the troops, had been suspended
and that his superior commissioner,
Sir John Ross, who expressed a de-
sire to share the responsibility, has
resigned his office.
A special inquiry will be held, prob
ably by a judicial commission. In the
meantime, the demand for the removal
has not been granted, largely because
an attempt to march them out would
be the signal for attacks by the mobs.

Dublin.-Rioting broke out again
but subsidized without resious results.
The rumor was afloat that the Scot

Amiens street station. A great crowd,
for the most part from the slums, sur
rounded the station. The rioters
amused themselves by stoning street
cars. Six hundred volunteers paraded
through the streets, a crowd of 1000
following them, marching in step and
singing.

EGGS 40 YEARS OLD
Crock Full Discovered i'm Old

Valley.
WERE UNEARTHED BY FLOOD
Water Washes Dirt From. About Old
Stone Buiiding-Antedates
Oldest Settlers.

The floods in the Cimarron river
valley in Southwest Kansas uncovered
an old house that the oldest settlers
in that territory did not know ever
existed. On the floor of the old stone
house was found crock full of eggs
which to all appearances were perfect
ly preserved after being under ground
at least more than forty years.
The story of the unearthing of this
old stone house, indicating a settle
ment in Southwest Kansas years be-
fore anyone of the present old timers
knew of it, was reported by w. C. Mil
lar, ranchman of Kiowa county, who
recently made a trip into Morton
county.
The Cimarron river this spring, in
a sudden freshet washed away the
ranch building at the old Beatty
ranch, at Point Rocks, in southern
Morton county. The garden adjoining
was also washed out by the flood, the
river current making a deep cut there,
and excavated the stone walls of an
old house.
In the house, when uncovered, were
found a good many household utensils
and a crock containing eggs. The
eggs had been Theoretically sealed I'M
der many feet of sand and shaIe. They
seemed to be just as good as ever.
Mr.. Millar owns big ranch near
Belyidere, in southern Kiowa county.
He formerly owned a place in north
ern Barber county, between Sun City
and Lake City, and it was on his land
that the famous Indian council of 1867
was held at which the treaty with the
Indians was made by General Miles.
Mr.. Millar has photographs taken
at the council, which was attended by
many prominent newspaper correspon-
dents of those days. One of the lat

The photographs showed the cor

that the silk hat came into that coun-

KANSAS SILL HAS MONEY
Deposits in State Ba-sss Exceed s1o1,
900, coo Despite Heavy Drains
of Harvest Time.

Reports just issued by Charles N
Sawyer, state bank commissioner,
show SOL ,255, 253. 95 on deposit in the
932 state banks of Kansas, June 80.
The date of the call was the day of
low tide in the Kansas banking bust
ness, yet the report shows a de-
crease of only $10,657, 092.41 over
June 4, last year. This is an increase
of nearly three million dollars over
the showing of the state banks for
June IA, 1912. The reserve is 1862
as against "a per cent last year.
1t was predicted by the state bank
commissioners that the reports of the
state banks for June would show a
falling off in deposits over a year
had been expected.
With a short crop last year, a heavy
drain on the banks for feed during
the winter months and the expense
of the record-breaking harvest, the
resources of the banks had received
severe test.
The call for a statement was issued
in conjunction with a call by the ma
tiona1 comptroller of currency, who
asked for a statement from the ma
tiOnal banks on the same date the Saw
yer call was made.
THE report was perhaps for the
worst day of the year so far as the
banks were concerned" said Commits
sioner Sawyer. 1.-The revenue of the
banks were at low ebb and not one
dollar from the bumper wheat crop
had started back to Kansas. 1t is
really a remarkable showing, and
with the big wheat crop and prospects
for a bumper yield of corn, Kansas
should break some records this fall
and winter"
