BURYING OLD JOKES

When the management of
II Wig vaudeville circuit like
keith's issues orders to COM
edians TO cut out all anti
suffrage jokes on the stage,
il seems TO be a sign that
public sentiment is general
ly aroused on that subject
throughout the country, and
aroused i'm favor of wOmen's
right to vote. When jokes
on woman's suffrage were
sprung on the vaudeville
stage, several years ago,
they usually got a good
laugh, but now it would APP
pear from the order men,
toned, they are falling fiat.
The attitude of a mixed
audience in a theater is a
fairly good test of public
opinion and when people
stop laughing ut puns on cer-
tain public questions of the
day, it is time to realize that
they have become serious
questions.

 MT Rockefeller, Robert W. Taft, Charles D. Broeker,1 William Skinner and James s. Eaton, on yesterday, last day for final pleading, filed pleas in abatement under which they contend ed that the indictments should be dis. missed inasmuch as the deputy clerk who drafted the panel from which the grand jury that returned the indict- ments was selected, resided outside this federal district.
 Claims of immunity made by John l.. Billiard and Thomas Dewitt Guy Ter, will be argued Dec. 4, Judge Ses- siens decided. Nessrs.

Washington, NOV. f24-President. Will son said today he had received re- assuring adviees of conditions in Mex leo and was confident nothing seri- ous would result to American interests in the present controversy among the Mexican generals.
 The President thinks conditions in Mexico will constantly improve. Inquir- ies by the British, French and Spanish ambassadors as to the safety of their subjects have not been protests in any senses according to the White House view but merely indications Of the de- sire of those European governments for the exercise by the United States of it's good offices in behalf Of foreigners. The President indicated clearly today that the United States assumes no task or obligation in that connection. the European governments recogniz- ing merely that the United States, as the nearest friend to Mexico. could ex- ert more influence in behalf of for eigners or to accomplish the things which faraway nations might not find so easy to effect.
