Washington, July discouraged!
but undaunted by President Wilson's
declination to use his influence for
congressional action on a constitu.
tional amendment for woman suf-
frage, the leaders OF the "votes for
women" turned their heavy artillery
I'm the direction of the house rules
committee only to find that the meet
ing called to vote on the Mondell-
Bristow amendment has been post
poned until August I. a..
According to plans the committee
was to meet and vote on a special
rule providing for debate on the
amendment in the house at this ses-
sion OF congress. When the suffra
gists reached the capitol they were
surprised to find the committee room
empty and that the meeting had
been postponed. Fearing a coup by
their enemies the suffragists posted
sentinels TO watch the committee
room and despatched others to appeal
to individual members to have a
meeting.

Steal Anything

One or more night providers en-
tered the home OF Mrs. A. II. Scher-
er, 109 Hanover street, last night,
probably some time after midnight.
There was at least one confederate
on the outside, probably stationed
there to give the signal In case
there was any danger OF detection.
The would-be thieves were scared
OF however, .before they had a
chance to do any actual stealing.
Miss Bessie Powell, a young lady

dance between two and three o'clock
this morning, saw a man standing In
the yard between the Scherer resi-
dence and that of A. II. Schroeder
next door. She took notice OF this
man, and saw him make a move, as
entered the house by way OF the
screen door OF the front porch and
the main front door, which she
locked. The screen door and the front
door had been LETT unlocked by other
members of the family. SO. she could
go into the house when she came

He has been friendly with villa since
