do a woman of national fame will lead
it And the Chicago suffragette band

Gen. Coxey refused to say who the
woman of national fame was. He said
she was from Cleveland.
Asked what the army would demand
from Congress in the way of legislation,
the commander-in-chief said one thing
would be government-owned railroads,
and two others would make possible the
getting of money to live by those out of
employment at about per cent interest.

the soldier of Massillon, and something

ANTF-SUFFRAGE HEADS
SCORE SENATOR CLAPP
Deny Association Is in League with
Liquor Dealers and Sweat
shop Men.
CALL 1T "GRATUITOUS INSULT

Senator Clapp. Of Minnesota. was CEN
sured severely at meeting of the Dis
trict Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage yesterday on account of the re-
marks he is quoted as having made at
a suffrage meeting at the Cairo. Thurs
day night, in the course Of which he
said:
Il saw displayed outside the anti-suf-
frage headquarters the invitation for all
those opposed to suffrage to come in
and sign. II the women there knew
whom they were inviting into their pres
ence they would not be so hospitable.
They are, inviting the liquor dealers, the
sweatshop men. the white slavers. and
the corrupt political boss
Il challenge Senator Clapp to sub
stantiate his assertion" said Mrs. WILL
lam Cosswell, a member of the execu-
tive board Of the anti-suffrage society.
Our organization never had. has not
now, and never will have any connec-
ton with either the liquor dealers, the
sweatshop men. the white slayers or the
corrupt political boss. Senator Clapp was
aware of this when he made his state
ment which is gratuitous insult to say
the least"
Mrs Grevc. former vice president of
the Ohio State Anti-suffraSe Associa-
ton. answering Senator Clapp's state
ment said the control of the sweatshop
evil Is In the hands Of the women Until
the woman is willing to make her own
garments no sweatshop law can be en-
forced. The woman is responsible for
the exodus of families from the home
into hotels. boarding houses and apart
ments. Legislation protecting the woman
worker has not been enacted in a woman
suffrage State until after its enactment
in a male suffrage State.
Others who spoke were Mrs. Mary
Mshon and Mrs. J. Mark Smith, Of Cali
fornia.

fortunate as to find boat. and being
In an isolated place. on landing they
built fire In the sand, In which they
buried their feet to keep them from
freezing.
Thenceforward their journey was one
of horror. The country was rough and
they were obliged always to proceed
through brush and briars, boys and
swamps and out of sight Of roads and
houses.
When they were approaching the
Rappahannock River they could hear
a pack of bloodhounds in full cry be-
hind them and farther on the excited
cries Of citizens and soldiers. who were
pursuing them. Fortunately they had
been supplied with meat by negroes, and
this they threw to the dogs, who gave
up the chase to stop and eat It
: By crossing stream the fugitives
broke the scent. and succeeded in escap-
ing the hounds.
Their energy was now almost spent,

rain they providentially found shelter in
negro's hut. Food in abundance was
supplied them, and they had a nights
comfortable rest. They were also
cheered by the news that they were near
the Rappahannock.
Next day a party of negroes built a

the vicinity of Fredericksburg. They
were now but fifteen miles from the
Potomac. though in a country much trav-
ersed by Confederate cavalry.
On nearing the Potomac they again
found a negro who befriended them, d.
recting them to the house of a German
who owned a boat. This they secured.
that period were not permitted on the
lower Potomac and a squad OF Confed-
crate cavalry was close upon their track.
Even as they showed out upon the
broad bosom of the Potomac they were
fired upon; but escaping unhurt, they
rcwed to the steamer Ella. the flagship
of Commander Foxall A. Parker, U. S.
N. who received them on board.
Commander Parker at once took Col.
Streight and his party to Washington.

GUTHRIE is SECRETARY;
60 ON CHARTER

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 9.-The Okla
homa students at the University o
Kansas have organized an Oklahomi
club, the first ever to be organized
in the University of Kansas. Abou
60 students were present and aftel
spending a few minutes in getting
acquainted, they proceeded to tn,
business of the hour and elected Of
ficers for the coming year. Follow
ing is a list of the officers elected

The purpose of the club will
three fold. First, to enable student
from Oklahoma to get acquainted
with each other To this end the
social committee will meet in the
near future and arrange for series
of social gatherings to be held during
the school years.
Second the club will endeavor to
show Kansans what OlNlahOmans are
able to do, and will make itself
considerable factor in university life
Third it will keep the Oklahoma
papers informed of its doings and
interpret the University of Kansas 20
the people of Oklahoma. 1t will in
no way attempt to attract students
away from the University of Okla
homa, but in case students will go out
of the state anyway to attend school,
it will show them that the University
of Kansas is the best place to which
to go.
When asked of his opinion with |
regard to the club. Chancellor FRANK

II am heartily in favor of the Okla

been needing for some time, ami
