DODGE JEALOUSY
Great Parade in Chicago to
Be Made Up in Order to
Avoid All Friction

Chicago, April 17.-No political, so
cial, church or other women's organi-
cation will be represented as such in
the suffrage parade here the evening
of May 2, it was announced from suf-
frage headquarters here today. 1t was
decided to avoid at the outset any of
the antagonisms and jealousy as to
precedence that might be aroused by
the women's clubs parading as orgari-
cations. The order was given that the
women should assemble by wards and
that no club insignia should be carried
among the marchers. The only regalia
required in the parade will be the IL
linois suffrage cap and American flags.
Club banners may be carried by rep
resentatives among the marshal's staff
but may not be displayed elsewhere.
Every woman in Chicago was urged
to march by literature sent out today.
Ministers received requests to urge
their parishioners to take part In the
nation wide demonstration. 1t is ex-
pected that the parade will be two
miles long. Permission has been OBJ
tanned to use Michigan boulevard and
to erect stands along the lake front
park. Governor Dunno, Mayor Harrl
son and other prominent persons will
review the parade which will be head
ed by detail of mounted police and a
squadron Of cavalry.

queer actions had not been permitted
to see him.

dressing Mr.. Polk's wound, Rose was
questioned by the mayor and a score of
detectives. He refused to answer any
questions about himself. Two letters
addressed to Mayor Mitchell were
found in his clothing.

of the day, Park Row is congested with
hundreds of men and women on their
way to and from luncheon.

curious picked up teeth that had been
knocked from Mr.. Polk's mouth and
had fallen on the running board of the
machine.

Pending Attempt to Secure
Another Trial.

Atlanta, Ga, April 1.-THE execu.
ton of Leo NJ Frank for the murder
of Mary Phagan, which had been fixed
for noon today, was stayed through
action of attorneys yesterday in filing
two motions in superior court. 1t was
generally expected that the motion
asking a new trial on the ground Of
newly discovered evidence would first
be pressed for action. If after argu.
ments on April %. this motion Is
denied, appeal probably will be taken
to the supreme court of Georgia, which
already has affirmed the lower courts
in denying a new trial on previously
submitted evidence.
