Chicago, Nov. 5.--Women now have
full suffrage in eleven states ana
In the territory of Alaska. according
to latest returns tonight from Tues
days election. which apparently gave
the franchise to women In Nevada
and Montana.
Late tabulation of the vote on equal
suffrage in Nevada and Montana did
not upset the lead previously record
ed in favor of the women. but rural
and mountainous counties had not re-
ported.
In addition to the eleven states now
listed as granting full franchise to
women. the sex have the right to vote
for certain offices in twenty-five other
states. In Illinois. one of the twenty
two women may vote for all statu-
tory offices including presidential
electors
Eleven Suffrage States.
The eleven suffrage states with the
time Of granting the franchise are:
1-Yyomng 1890; q Colorado,
5-Washington, 1910: 6--California.
1913; ARIZONA. 1912: S. Kansas,
1912; e-Oregon, 1912: l0--Nevada,
1914: Montana, 1914
The twenty-five states allowing par
tial suffrage to women are: Ken
tucky, Michigan, Massachusetts,. Min
nesota. Mississippi. Nebraska (defeat-
ed full suffrage Tuesday,, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico.
New York. North Dakota. Oklahoma.
Ohio defeated full suffrage In 1919
and on Tuesday,. South Dakota. Ver-
mont. Wisconsin.
Claim Too Much.
Despite the claims Of woman suf-
frage leaders that they won the vote
in some of the other seven states
which voted on the subject Tuesday,
late returns bear out early indications
that the franchise was denied women
in Ohio. Missouri. Nebraska, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
Officers of the National Woman
Suffrage association tonight began to
recapitulate the results of female
votes in the various states in which
they balloted on Tuesday. They con-
tend that the women were instrument
tai In California in passing the laws
that drive out pugilism and segregat-
ed vice and failed in driving out sa-
looms only because of the too drastic
provisions of the amendment.
Elect Their ChampiOn.
The suffragist leaders also assert
that women showed their power at
the polls in Chicago by clecting DIS
Judge of the municipal court Charles
L. Billings. who introduced in the ILL.,
nois legislature the bill that gave
women the right to vote for many Of
fices In Illinois Billings would have
been defeated by the mems vote but
was carried to victory by the women's
ballots.
The leaders also declare that wom-
en- aided materially in voting prohibit
ton on Tuesday for Washington, Ore
gon and Colorado.
Tabulation Of the woman votes in
Chicago shows that they cast 104.64,
ballots on Tuesday The total regis
tration of women in the city il near
" 170. 900. The percentage of women
who stayed at home was much larger
than that of men. In Chicago demo-
Gratis received about 43 per cent OF

bayonet work which the enemy often
avoids. The Russian cavalry has by

ships Can Pass in Seventy Days, Say
Officials.

Washington, January 3.-The Pau
anna Canal will be in condition to
pass vessels all the way across the
Isthmus within the next seventy
DAYS, it was learned to-day, unless
UNEXPECTED obstacles are encounter
ed. This is the judgment of high
canal official, who declines to fix the
date more definitely.
The only remaining obstacle to pre-
vent the passage of vessels now are
the Cucaracha slide, which blocks the
cut at Culebra, and other small slides
in the same locality. Dredging
is progressing satisfactorily on these
slides.
In view of uncertain conditions
surrounding the work it has been
deemed impolitic to attempt to fix a
definite date for the opening. Even
after a passage is possible several
months must be spent in training the
operating force before the waterway
is opened to commerce.

one of the most battling diseases with

The Cost of Girl

According to a petition to a Surro-
sate in darkest New York 1t costs q
minor daughter Of parents who hap
pen To be persons Of social position
in that vicinity no less than S6,100 a
year TO live and be educated. The to-
tai is made up of the following items
Salary of governess, $500; board and
expenses of governess. $500; at
lessons, $500; riding lessons, $500:
dancing lessons, s1O0; general house
expenses, $500; dress, $1,000;
pocket money, $3.50.
This will remind those who re
member it of the famous saying of
the wife of wealthy deniZen of the
same city. In the course Of a suit
brought against her by an architect
who didn't get all the money that he
claimed to be due him, she remarked
that it was as much the duty of 4
woman to live up to her income as
it was to live up to her reputation.
Obviously, the cost of high living
is keeping pace with the high cost OF
living generally. The average per-
son will think that girl can worry
along and secure pretty good edu-
cation to boot on considerably less
taan $1,000 a year. In any event,
the vast majority of girls do it. 4

than how to squander it would be Il

WHITE CONVICTS ESCAPE.
Two Get Away From Hampton Gang
By Saving Chains.

Hampton, January deputy
Sheriff J. Herman Lightsey arrived
at Hampton yesterday, bringing the
news with him Of the escape OF two
convicts from the Hampton county
chain gang, Joe Cook and John Maui
din, both white men, who several
years ago entered the house Of some
negroes and stole therefrom goods
exceeding in value the sum of $23.
and, who, upon Incarceration in the
local Jail, cut their way to liberty
through a two foot brick wall. After
being convicted of the crime of grand
larceny they were placed on the coun-
ty chain gang for periods of 4 years,
and on last Monday morning at s
o'clock freed themselves of the chains
that bound them and made good
their escape 1t seems from reports
received here and from account given
by Mr.. Lightsey that there was an ac-
'cessory to their escape. The chains
attached to the left arms Of the con-
victs and the shackles which bound
their feet were cut off clean with
some instrument procured for the
purpose. The tracks leading from
the place where the convicts were
last seen showed that three men left
the chain gang together and went for
. distance of about two miles where
the three tracks ended and buggy
track commenced. Sheriff Lightsey
and hurriedly summoned posse pur-
sued the tracks for several miles
through bays and ponds. 1t was as
certained upon inquiry by Mr.. light
sey that the two men stole from Mr.
w. P. Harrison a horse which was
kitched near a bay where Mr.. Harri-
son was cutting timber. The convicts'
earb had been thrown aside and civil
lian's clothes donned by the convicts.
Mr.. Harrison pursued his horse and
the escaped prisoners in an automo-
bile. The heavy rains which fell in
this section Monday obliterated the
trail and made further pursuit i'm
possible.
Dogs were hurriedIy obtained from
the Barnwell county authorities and
attempt was made to follow the trail,
but without avail. The Hampton
county authorities have offered re-
ward of $50 for the apprehension of
Cook and Mauldin.

asked, why did you shine one of my

the Louisville Courier-J ournal.
1t is probable that there were

AS to the priority of these old-time
wells. it is a matter Of small lmpor-
tance, since the birth of the petro-
leum business dates from the famous
Titusville discovery referred to by
The !ntellingencer.
West Virginia did not become
large oil producer until about ~
Years ago, although oil operations OF
varying character have been going
ON at intervals in that State almost
since the beginning of developments
in PENNSYLVANIA. There was fairly

civil war, but it was crushed out dur

in any subsequent year, though West
Virginia stands high on the list as an
oil-producing State. The production
for 1912 was 100000 barrels. In
value it exceeded that of any Other
year with the sole exception of the
record year of 1900.

Louisville, Ca, January 1.-Rob-
ert Paschal, George Hart and Will
lam Hart, the three negroes accused
of the murder of Mrs. Jefferson lrby,
will be tried in Atlanta. Judge Ben
Rawlings, of the Jefferson County
Superior Court, to-day ordered
change of venue to Fulton County, on
the ground that the accused negroes
might not be safe from mob violence
if brought here for trial.
Indictments charging the three
with murder were returned at short
special session of the county grand
jury to-day. One of them is said to
have confessed, duplicating the 9TH
erS.
The murder of Mrs. Irby, which oc-
Cured near Wrens, Ga, several
weeks ago. was unusually brutal.
According to t"o little daughters
who witnessed the tragedy, three ne
groes attacked her in her home,
slashing her throat and then crush
ing her head with an axe. Paschal
and the two Harris were arrested
soon afterward and brought to Louis
Vile for safekeeping. Threats Of
violence caused their removal to
Waynesboro, Ca, and after the
State militia had guarded them sew
eral hours from a mob there, the
SUSPECTS we're taken to Augusta. Two
days later. to avoid possible violence,
they were transferred to the Full
ton county jail in Atlanta, where they
still are held
