Miss Whittemore is secretary oil
the league, and in the last campaign
was one OF the active workers against
the Democrat candidates In the state
OF Washington.
THE attack OF equal suffragists
upon the Democrats Is not as Demo

the party refusing recognition or the
suffrage movement" said Miss Whit
temore There are now over four
millions OF enfranchised women In
the United States, and we feel that
they have right to be heard by the

EFFORT TO BRING GOVERNORS NAME
 INTO TRIAL FAILS

Montgomery, March 10-(Special) attorneys of James G Oakley. on triad in the city court for the embezzlement of $220a of state funds, to bring the name of the governor of Alabama into the case. The leading counsel for the de- fense, Wiley H. Hill, made it very evil dent that he was trying to make the Oakley trial an administration issue. and while the attorneys for the state success fully resisted every effort of Oakley's lawyers, it was very evident that they We're trying to conect the governor with the case. e..s
 Several times today the attorneys for Oakley tried to introduce testimony con corning the governor, but every time the court held that such testimony was ir- relevant The name of the governor, while frequently mentioned, was, there fore, not permitted to figure in any of the testimony
 The first attempt of the defense to bring in the governors name was when James H. Hard, Jr., auditor of the Amer ican Trust and Savings bank of Birmng ham. was placed on the stand. Wiley II. Hill. leading counsel for the defense requested the witness to explain what. dealings the governor had had with that bank. A similar attempt was made when the cashier of the First National bank os Birmingham was called to the stand, but the court upheld the contention of the state that such testimony was irrevelant. and refused to allow witnesses to mention the governors name.

State Seeks to Show
 Oakley's Con1plicity
 In Heavy Defalcation
J. G. OAKLEY WILL BE
 PLACED ON STAND TO TELL HIS OWN STORY

Montgomery. March 10.-tSpecialD James G. oakley. under trial for the embezzlement of $2207.02 of convict de- partment funds, will be placed on the stand by his attorneys. This announce ment was made late tonight by several of OaIley's lawyers, who said that there was hardly a doubt that the for mer president of the state board of convict inspectors would be called upon to testify in his own behalf
 Oal<leys testimony promises a sen sation. according to his counsel 1t is declared that he will divulge many inn portant facts heretofore unknown in connection with the convict depart ment dedication.
 Just what oakley will tell is purely a matter of surmise. Whether or not he will bring in the name of the gov ernor of Alabama is equally uncertain. but it is thought that he will do so.
 His attorneys announced tonight that he would go on the witness stand in his own behalf, and rumors circulated reported that his testimony would be of a most sensational nature. 1t is eN- pected that he will tell all he knows of the convict department defaications.
 There is considerable speculation here regarding Oa<leys testimony His case has been followed with peculiar inter est, and while it is not thought that he will be able to tell all the facts in connection with the heavy shortage in his department, it is believed that his testimony will be interesting. Attor- neys for the state declared tonight that they were prepared for anything that Oakley might say. They maintain that they will be able to successfully combat the defense on every issue raised by Oakley's attorneys, and state that they are looking forward with in- terest to his testimony.

THE MOON WILL BE IN ECLIPSE TONIGHT Will Enter Shadow of Earth At 9:41 and Emerge
 At 12:44

Washington. March 10.-There will be almost total eclipse of the moon tomor- row night. visible from all points in western Europe, North and South Amer ica and western Africa Astronomers at the Naval observatory here tonight pre- pared to take advantage of the oppor- tunity for special observations. It was pointed out that the fainter stars are more easily seen during an eclipse, and that they are of great importance in correct- ing lunar tables. As yet, astronomers have found 1t impossible to compute. from the ory, tables which agree exactly with the positions observed in the sky
 The shadow of the earth will not cover entirely the moon. but at the middle of the eclipse more than nine -tenths of the moons diameter will be in the shadow.
 The moon is due to enter the shadow. ac- cording to precise reckoning at 9:il S-l0 o'clock tomorrow night, eastern standard time; should reach the middle of the eclipse at II :12 9-l0 o'clock and leave the shadow at 12:i4 a. m. Thursday.
