WOMEN SUFFRAGE
SEEKERS WIN TWO
STATES; LOSE FIVE
Given Ballot in Montana and
Nevada-Fail in Missouri,
Ohio, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Nebraska.

CHICAGO. Nov 5.-An official count
will be necessary to decide whether wom-
en- shall have the right OF the ballot in
at least one OF the seven states which
voted on the question at Tuesdays elec-
tion.
Almost final returns show Montana and
Nevada have granted women the right
of franchise, while Missouri, Ohio, Ne
braska and North and South Dakota
refused to grant equal suffrage.
In Montana, where workers of the
American Woman Suffrage Association
made heroic efforts to win the ballot,
the vote was so close that the official
count viii be necessary to decide the out
come, but the women have n slight lead
on incomplete returns. Returns have
been received from all towns where Buf-
frage encountered opposition, and the
measure Is running behind less than 500
votes.
Only one-seventh Of tho total vote has
been heard from. leaving the result Of
about $4,000 votes still to be received.
Miss Rankin, chairman of the Montana
Suffrage Association, says the measure
will carry by comfortable majority.
VOTE IN OTHER STATES
The vote against suffrage in Ohio is
estimated at $4,000 In Missouri suffrage
was beaten by four to one in the cities
and three to one in the rural districts
In Nevada, which seems won to the
cause of equal suffrage. 1O5 precincts out
of 24O gave 36l9 votes for woman suffrage
and 250S against.
The ratio of the female vote on the
subject OF prohibition in California and
Washington has not been tabulated yet.
Both these States voted for the first
time to oust saloons. The California
proposed amendment would have pro-
hibited the manufacture of wines, an i'm
portant industry In the State. The
severeness of the proposed law is given
by leaders OF the Antl-Saloon League as
possible reason for the defeat Of the
measure.
In Illinois the proportion of female to
male voters in the Democratic. Repub-
lican and Progressive parties was about
the same. The woman political leaders
were mostly identified with the Progress
i've party. Figures in many precincts
showed, however that the percentage of
women to men was larger In the Demo-
cratic party than in the Progressive.
"The victory In Montana is highly en-
couraging; the defeats in the other States
are not discouraging," said Mrs. Medill
Mccormick, who as chairman of the Con-
gresslonal Committee OF the National
American Wcmans Suffrage Association,
has headed the campaign. "our success
in Montana is due to our fine organiza-
ton In that State. Lack OF organization
is largely to blame for our failures"

BRYN MAWR STUDENTS
APPEASED BY NEW RULING
co-eds Can Now "cut" Eight Glasses
Without Paying Penalty.

Without Paying Penalty.
Modification of the "no-cut" rule re-
Gently made by President NJ. Carey
Thomas, Of Bryn Mawr College, has been
announced by the president as the result
of petition from the Undergraduate AS
ISOLATION. Under the modified rule no
excused ''cuts' OF classes with certain
provisions. The rule. in part. follows:
"Cuts In excess OF eight shall reduce
the grade for the course in which they
are taken by two points for each such
cut. When the unexcused cuts exceed
20 per cent. Of the semester's scheduled
lectures of any course, the penalty shall
be four points for each additional cut"
The new rule was preceded by state
ment that "the faculty, after carefully
considering the petition of the undergrad
uate association, continues OF the opinion
that II Is ineXpedlent to leave the regu-
lation OF attendance at classes to the
student body" 1t then announces that
for the year 1914-1915 the rule has been
modified ".in the hope that no large per-
centage of the undergraduate body will
avail itself OF the number OF cuts mem
toned"
Students are said to have declared their
to those at Harvard. Princeton and Yale.
To this the faculty objected on the ground
that Bryn Mawr is on higher plane than
the mems universities.
The undergraduates carried their trou-
bles to the New York Alumnae, in annual
meeting at the Bryn Mawr Club, New
York city, last night.
Mrs. Learned Hand. wife of United

CARRANZA DESERTS
MEXICO CITY; NEW
CAPITAL ATPUEBLA
General Villa Moves Army
Into Aguascalientes,
and Constitutionalist Chief
Flees With Cabinet.

AGUASCAL1ENTBs, Mex, Nov. g.
Moving his army into the neutral city of
Aguas Calientes, General Francisco villa
established this place yesterday as the
temporary capital OF Mexico. Delegates
to the peace conference who represented
Carranza were arrested by Villas orders
and are held prisoners. Martial law has
been declared and Villa troops control the
city and dominate the delegates to the
convention.
Ordered by the convention to carry out
its orders, villa began yesterday the
movement OF troops to the south to
establish General Gutierrez as provisional
President in the permanent capital. The
troop movement already has resulted in
skirmishes with Carranza forces moving
to the north to invade villa territory,
several sharp fights having occurred.
Ell PASo, Tex, Nov 5--GeneraI Car
ranza has fed from Mexico City. taking
with him the Government funds and ac-
companied by his Cabinet, according to
information received here last night from
Mexico City. Carranza, the reports say,
has established his capital In the ancient
city of Puebla and has gathered there all
troops he could persuade to accompany
him. General Gonzales and General Jesus
Carranza, two of General Carranza's
chief commanders. whose armies jointly
number $1,000 men, are in Puebla with
CarranZa, and the city is being fortified
for siege. villa has 10000 men moving
on Puebla.
In a speech made Sunday by Carranza
at Puebla, he said
nI,t 81 ~
abandon me in this case, as n representa-
tive of the army. I will go into exile.
But should they support me. as I con-
fdently expect they will, will fight to
the bitter end"
Charges are made here that villa is
recruiting troops at San Antonio. and
that these troops are destined to attack
Laredo, Carranza's strongest border
point Laredo has a strong garrison.

the 9Th and 18th Infantry. United States
Army for a movement against Mexico
Mexican soldiers today fired a number OF
shots across the river on the Americans.
The American troops were engaged in
maneuvers with ball cartridges, and the
Mexicans said that shots fell on the Mex
lean side. The Mexican fire was not re-
turned.
of CarranZa and various political factions
in Mexico that American troops be with
drawn from Vera Cruz and the demand
of this Government for positive guaran-
tees before the city is evacuated, have
brought about almost a deadlock in the
Mexican situation.
1t was made clear in Administration
quarters yesterday that Carranza has
been given a certain length of time In
which TO meet the demands for guar
antees. Acting Secretary OF State Lans-
ing would give no hint as to the time,
but 1t is known that the latest note. the
third on the subject, was intended to
force the realization on CarTanza that
this Government will temporlze with him
no longer.
General Funston has informed the War
Department that reports from Mexico
City are that there IL "anti-American
agitation" there.

 The following letter tells its own story:
 Douglas, Alaska. Aug. 9, 1913. Northern Life Insurance Co., Dear sirs:
 I wish to thank you very much for your check for s9O6O in payment of my claim for two weeks total disability and six days partial disability, and for the exceedingly prompt manner in which it was handled.
 In view of the fact that my little accident happened only five days af- ter taking out the policy in cour com. pany. and before the policy has been received by me from the home office, I was very much surprised and more than pleased with the expediency with which the claim was settled and have recommended your policy to others, and hope these recommendations may bear fruit later.
 Respectfully, ~ (Signed) DR. R. c. MATHIS.
