Washington News Notes

Washington, April 1.-THE women
suffrage amendment recently defeat
ed in the senate vas again reported
to that body today by the suffrage
committee and vas placed on the cal
endar. Senator Hoke Smith gave no.
tice that he would raise a point of
order against it.
After three hours of hot debate the
house refused to cut the mileage al
lowances for congressman. All pro-
posals for reducing the allowances to
actual expenses were voted down, as
they have been for years previously.
Twenty cents a mile is the present
scale.
The Cummins bill to make common
carriers liable for full value of ship

cealed or the interstate commerce
commission places a rate on certain
values.

Women Candidates Defeated

Chicago, April 7.-Fewer than 1O0,-
900 of the 217.6 14 women eligible to
vote took advantage of their newly
gained suffrage, and voted in the NUM-
cipal election today. None of the nine
women candidates for places in the
city council were elected, and in most
cases the women candidates received
only a scattering even of the women
votes.
In the First ward, where suffrage
and civic societies had combined their
strength to aid Miss Marion Drake.
who opposed "Bathhouse" John Cough
lin, who for a score of years has rep.
resented the ward, Coughlin won by
nearly 1000 votes. He defeated Miss
Drake 3 to /, and received nearly
twice as many women's votes as his
opponent. The women voters concen'
trated their strength on questions Of
public policy submitted on a separate
ballot.

Indict Bankrupt Merchants

New Yark, April 7.-Fourteen new
indictments against Henry Seigel and
Frank E. Vogel, heads of the bank
rupt Seigel enterprises, were handed
in today in connection with the fail
ure of the Henry Seigel & Co. private
bank and the department stores which
had been controlled by them. The in
dictments charged grand larceny and
violations of the state banking law.
The grand larceny charges deal with
$625,000 alleged to have been obtained
by means of false statements. Those
for violations of the state banking
law charge that the men accepted de.
posits for the bank after insolvency.
Three other indictments charging the
same crimes have already been re
turned against the men.

The Electric Locomotive

The electric locomotive is like the
steam locomotive in only n respect
it is used to haul passenger and
freight cars. The steam locomotive
is nothing more or less than a COM
pact power house on wheels. The fuel
is carried in a tender, the water in a
tank. The coal is burned under a
boiler which produces steam. This
steam is utilized, through the medium
of a steam engine, to turn the driving
wheels. The steam locomotive gen.
crates power enough to drive Itself
along and to haul a heavy load, if the
grade is not too steep.
Now the electric locomotive is not
a power house ON wheels. 1t produces
no electricity. 1t merely receives the
electricity, from a third rail, or an
overhead trolley wire, and transforms
it into mechanical energy through the
medium of electric motors. The ac-
tual power is produced at permanent
power house located miles away. Here
the coal is burned to make the steam,
the steam passed through huge steam
turbine engines to produce the cleo
trical energy. This electrical energy
is sent out to the locomotives through
the third rail or overhead trolley sys'
tenn.
The electric locomotive can be made
more powerful and compact than the
steam locomotive because it does not
have to haul fuel and water to make
it's own power. The locomotive Is
merely a hollow shell housing severa
powerful electric motors which are
geared to the driving wheels. The
amount of electricity picked up from
the third rail can be changed int
driving energy with very little loss
whereas the steam locomotive utilities
but a very small percentage of the EN-
ergy stored in the coal. OF course
the electric locomotive is also equip
ped with air brake systems, with bel
whistles, etc., just the same as tn
steam locomotive.

ARMY OF "EASY MARKS"

In the past three years the people
of this country have been swindled
out of $1S3, 200. 900 by persons who
to defraud. This information is de.
rived from an examination of the rec
ords of the p%ostofice inspectors in
New York city. This huge sum vas
obtained by persons arrested, and in
addition there were hundreds of other
"get-rich-quick" operators who eluded
the postal authorities. The aggregate
number of EASY Marks" would make
a good sized army. says the Helena
Record.
The report of the postal inspectors
shows that over fifty varieties of
schemes are in vogue by swindlers
who obtain their victims through the
mail. The schemes range from OBJ
tanning two-cent stamps dishonesty
to the mulcting of the public to the
tune of millions in a single enterprise.
Worthless stock-selling schemes are
in the lead. Year after year there ap-
pear tens of thousands of men and
women in the United States who are
perfectly willing to send their money
to men in distant cities, about whom
they know absolutely nothing, except
the lurid lies which these me- tell
about themselves and their compan-
les stock in their own letters and cir
culars.
Fake land schemes make up another
numerous and remunerative class of
swindle. Sales of worthless medicines
and medical appliances net a great
deal of money. The report lists the
following among the schemes worked
less frequently: Fake horse and ath'
letic contests, fake banks, fake en-
ployment, fake G. o. D. express pack
ages, fake sale of state rights, fake
sale of various articles ranging from
dogs to peanuts, fake home purchas
ing investment contracts, fake silk
dealers, green goods, fake loan
schemes, and requests for rewards for
lost articles alleged to have been
found.
But all these varieties Of swindle
are insignificant money getters com
pared to stock swindles. In II par
ticular stock swindle, it is estimated
that the promoters tilched ilom the
public approximately $6,000,O0O

VOTING ~ MAIL

It is commonly conceded that the
problems of good government are in
timately if not vitality connected with
the problem of getting good citizens
to vote. If it were possible to secure
tile sound, sober. mature opinion Of
! men n women on the questions
that seriously AFFECT them through
the of administration. there
would be a t.uor democracy III this
country than was ever hoped for. AS
long as elections a be carried by
manipulation Of the emotional and
susceptible group of voters, just that
long will there be disagreement and
the election of mere politicians to
office.
Technically, of course, "good citi-
zens" are not good citizens If they
neglect or refuse to vote. Actually,
however, the exercise of the franchise
is hedged about with so many incon-
veniences and discomforts that busy
men are reluctant to make the sacri-
fee required. There is a large part
of the voting population in every com
munity that is easily aroused by SEN
~sationalism and appeals to class con-
seriousness. These voters respond
readily to the methods of Campaign
ing" which cater frankly to prejudice
and passion. The worst fault that
can be laid at the doors of the non.
voters is that they are passive, that
they do not get "stirred up" and that
they are willing to allow the poll
ticians to have their way so long as
that way does not too plainly inter.
fere with the n%on-voters' immediate
interests. 1t requires something very
unusual to arouse the full voting
strength of any city or community.
The movement now taking form in
some states to enable voters to cast
their ballots through the mails is not
exactly new. 1t was suggested a long
time ago, but naturally was not in
dorsed enthusiastically by the politi'
clans. The "ixers" and "heelers" and
bosses" with pet schemes want
to get out the silent VOTE" But the
voting by mail idea has grown in pop
ular favor of recent years. Kansas
and one or two other states permit
travelling men and those who are
away from their homes on business
or pleasure to cast their ballots by
mail. In New York and Massachus
etts there have been mail primaries
that were clean and unchallegned.
The m big objection to mail vot
ing has been that it necessarily elm
mates the sacred secrecy Of the bal
lot. But the secrecy of the ballot is
wholly fictitious. The cumbersome
Australian system and it's various
notifications do not insure or pretend
to insure secrecy to the voter. But l
is not at all certain that a method ma,
not be devised which will make bal
lots by mail more secret than ballot!
cast under the present system.
In any event, the voter who coult
sit down in the quiet and seclusion o
his home and mark his ballot will
care and elaboration could more nea
ly register his will than when he i
. hurried, harassed and confused in hi
efforts to vote intelligently in a pol
ing booth. The polling places. how
ever, would still be open for those VIII
preferred to vote that way, of purse
