President of Southern States
Suffrage Conference Ar
rives This Morning.
FIRST ADDRESS
THIS AFTERNOON
She Will Be introduced by
Mrs. Fred Roege, Presi-
dent of the Pensacola Suf-,
frage League - Tonight
She Will Be Introduced
by Mayor Greenhut Both
Addresses at City Hall.

Miss Kate Gordon. of New Orleans,
president of the Southern States Stuff
rage Conference, and one of the most
prominent woman lecturers OF the
country, will arrive in the city Satut-
day morning, and will speak twice at
the city hall, once in the afternoon at
the suffrage rally, Immediately after
the Better Babies Contest. when Mrs.
Fred Roege, president OF the Pensacola
Equal Suffrage League, will introduce
Miss Gordon, and in the evening ut
eight O'Clock when Mayor A. Greenaut
will introduce the speaker.
Miss Gordon believes, and has a
large following in that belief that
suffrage is a state right and that he
power to define states electorate
should remain the exclusive right Of
the state. Recognizing that suffrage Is
no longer a theory to be debated nut
condition to be met, and that votes
for women is inevitable. and a world
movement, Miss Gordon takes ;he
ground that the South should face the
issues sQuarely and take steps to pre-
serve the state right, or otherwise that
public opinion will make it mandatory
through nationaI CONSTITUTIONAL
amendment.
In a statement made recently Miss
Gordon said:
The National Council Of Voters.
consisting of enfranchised women. has
for it's object the influencing of ra-
tional legislation to secure the ballot
for the women who have not vet re-
wish to see the power OF the state
retained, yet as women we are equally
determined to secure as of paramount
Importance the right which is she
of an American citizen.
I'VE, therefore, appeal to those
vested with the power to largely shape
to influence public opinion
to adopt woman suffrage through state
action. Failing to accomplish, the
onus of responsibility VIII rest upon
the men Of the South, if southern wo-
men are forced to support a national
weighted with the sane
objections as the Fifteenth Amend |
ment."
Following is the program for the |
day:

Canada, Where He We'd

WANTED-To know the whereabouts
some times spelled Czoboly, an Aus
trian by birth and alleged to be a
pretty good confidence man by pro-
fession. Any inquiries can be ad-
dressed to Chief of Police Sanders,
who will take pleasure in forwarding
same to parties very desirous OF
communicating with Coboly or
CzobOIy.
The chief is desirouS of securing some
information regarding the whereabouts
of the above party for the reason thaC
he has in his possession a letter, which
states, without any equivocation or
evasion, that the baron" for as such
he posed in Pensacola-has left behind
him two wives. From Pensacola the
polished baron journeyed to the Gull
tured town of DeF'uniak, there remain
ing until his welcome was worn out,
and then hied himself northward.
ENTERTAINED MANY.
The baron was discovered" in PEN
sacola along about January 10. He was
at first unassuming and did not prefix
his title to his name when registering
at the San Carlos hotel. Reluctantly
he submitted to interviews and he Was
equally as reluctant to display his tai
ents as a pianist-but such perform
er-nothing equaIling him had ever be-
fore been heard in Pensacola. He
could sway his audiences, make them
weep, groan and then dance with joy.
And then arrived on the scene his
secretary. The latter came as un-
heralded as the baron and then
both, unannounced departed. One day
before his disappearance the baron
sent a telegram and one sentence CT
it read: "Complete failure here" That
might explain ais departure.
The baron posed as an unmarried
man in Pensacola, but UP in Chicago,
over in New York and across the border
in Toronto. there were then waiting
for him several persons who could
prove to the mind of the ordinary per-
son and leave TO doubt existing, tnat
the baron" was doubly welded, and
this is the reason Chief Sanders is in
receipt of an inquiry regarding the
"baron's' whereab bouts.
According to this inquiry the man
sought for as 4 musician; gives COIL
certs around hotels and other places,
and he is quite an aggressive man
has a fine appearance. Austrian by
birth, and apparently a pretty good
confidence man by profession"
A fairly accurate description of the
"baron" and he would be recognized
through it by most any of those in
Pensacola who We're so fortunate as
to make his acquaintance. But 10
