SECRETARY BRYAN
FOR SUFFRAGE
Will Support Proposed Nebras-
kan Amendment.
VOTE IS MOTHERS RIGHTS
Secretary Declares Woman Has Proved
Herself Equal To Every Re-
sponsibilIty imposed On
Her.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary Bryan.
in a formal statement, came out for
woman suffrage. He declared that he
would ask no political right for him
self that he was not willing to grant
his wife, and announced his intention
of supporting the proposed State con-
stitutional amendment extending the
franchise to women to be voted upon
In Nebraska next November.
Woman, Mr.. Bryan said, had proved
herself equal to every responsibility
imposed upon her, and would not fail
society in this emergency. Above all
other arguments in favor of giving her
the ballot he placed the right of the
mother to voice in the ,molding of
the environment of her children. ''The
mother" the Secretary said, "can
Justly claim the right to employ every
weapon which can be made effective
in the protection of those whose inter-
ests she guards, and the ballot will
put within her reach all of the in
strumentalities of government, includ-
ing the police power"
VIII Vote For Amendment.
The statement, in part, follows:
"The voters of Nebraska will, at the
election next November, adopt or re-
ject a proposed amendment extending
suffrage to woman on equal terms with
men. AS a citizen of that State. it
will be my duty to participate in the
decision to be rendered at the polls.
/ have delayed expressing an opinion
on this subject, partly because ! have
been seeking information, and partly
because my time has been occupied
with national questions upon which the
entire country was acting, but now
that the issue Is presented in my State
/ take my position. shall support the
amendment. / shall ask no political
rights for myself that am not willing
to grant to my wife.
GAS man and woman are co-tenants
of the earth and must work out their
destiny together, the presumption is on
the side of equality of treatment in all
that pertains to their joint life and
It's opportunities. The burden of proof
is on those who claim for one an ad-
vantage over the other in determining
the conditions under which both shall
live. This claim has not been estab-
lished in the matter Of suffrage. On
the contrary, the objections raised to
woman suffrage appear to me to be in
valid, while the arguments advanced
in support of the proposition are, in
my judgment, convincing"

Mexico City.-The text of General
f1uerta's resignation follows:
Deputies and senators: Public
necessity, admitted by the Chamber of

preme Court, called me to the supreme
magistracy of the Republic. Later,
when in this same hall had the honor
Of addressing you in compliance with
tho constitutional precept, promised
at all costs to bring about peace.
Seventeen months have passed and
In that brief period of time l have
formed an army with which to carry
out that solemn promise. You all
know the immense difficulties which
my government has encountered,
owing to scarcity oflfunds, as well
as to the manifest and decided protec-
ton which great power of this con-
tinent has afforded to the rebels so
much SO that when the revolution had
been broken up. seeing that its chief
leaders were and continued to be d.
vided, the power in question sought a
pretext to intervene directly in the
conflict. and the result Of this was the
outrage committed at Vera Cruz by
the American fleet
Success was had, as you know, in
adjusting honorably through our dele
cation at Niagara Falls the petty
Tampico incident; but the revolution
continued, with the support of whom
we all know
'Yet, after the highly patriotic work
achieved by our delegates at Niagara
Falls, there are still some men who
say that l, come what may, seek my
personal interest, and not that Of the
republic, And as need to rebut this
allegation with facts. / tender my
formal resignation of the presidency

succeeded in doing away with the

itself Democratic, and having shown
now the right should be defended.

Fort Smith, Ark.-The finding of
charred fragments of the bodies Of
two men in the ruins of log cabin
and reports Of an attempt to destroy
the surface workings Of another mine
owned by the Bache-Denman Coal
Company were Sunday developments
in the conflict between strikers and
non-union coal miners and other en-
ployes in the Hartford Valley coal
fields.
The discovery of parts of two skulls
and human bones, raked from the
embers of the log cabin, explains, it
is believed, the disappearance Of J. w.
Sylesberry and John Baskins, mine
guards, after Fridays battle at Prairie
Creek and tends to confirm state
ment sworn to by Sam c. Thomas, a
company emnloye, that he witnessed
the execution Of Sylesberry and
Baskins.
According to Thomas, he and six
other men were taken prisoners after
the six-hour battle at Prairie Greek
and escorted to a hut at the head of q
gulch on Sugar Loaf Mountain. About
10 feet from the hut Thomas declares,
man opened fire with rife, kill
ing Sylesberry and Baskins. The
statement declares the man also at
tempted to kill Thomas, but that other
members of the party interfered.
The i've other captives were set at
liberty, according to Thomas mar
rative, and it is reported that the
bodies were then placed in the cabin
and the torch applied. Enroute to
Huntington. Thomas declared, the
party was fred on, but no one was

First Search Unsuccessful.
Conflicting reports of the finding Of
the bodies is explained by the fact
that in their first survey Of the ruins
Of the cabin the posse, headed by Paul
Little, prosecuting attorney. and Lon
Harris, sheriff of Sebastian county,
made no discoveries. Later more
careful examination of the ruins dis
closed fragments of the bodies.
At the request of Mr.. Little war
rants were issued for the arrest of a
number of men alleged to have partici-
pated in the attack on the Prairie
Greek mines last Friday, when the
tipple and other parts OF the mines
were dynamited and burned The war
rants charge murder, arson and rioting.
