THIEVES AGAIN STIR
LOGAN AS VICTIMS
PREPARE DEFENSE
Another Robbery Is Reply
of Culprits to Incensed
Residents = Anti Burglar
Devices Galore.

Storm has no terrors for the thieves Of
Logan. Residents, lulled into rancied Sc
Curty by the battermg racket of the CO.
mile wind through the night. were aroused
today by another robbery in the section,
This time the victim is Mrs f. b. An
derson, of 15il Louden street. While she
was out of the house less than AN hour
thief pried open a cellar window and
got away with $50 worth of silverware
and jewelry and S35 IN cash.
The suggestion is now being made in
Logan that the many robberies offer a
method OF helping the unemployed. 1t has
been pointed out that II each householder
hired a private watchman 1t would mean
work for hundreds of men. The serious
side of this proposition already has been
taken up and some of the residents of
Logan are banding together to hire watch
men for their homes.
The man hunt is on in full swing in
the district. Novel burglar alarms, on
which no patents are being sought, are
being invented every day by household
ers. who expect visits from burglars, and
some industrious thief is In for a tortu-
GUS session in the near future.
Burglary is the sole topic of CONVEX
sation in stores and homes in Logan.
Those unfortunate enough to have been
visited by the thieves are giving advice
to their more lucky neighbors,
A salesman at 1897 North 18th street
has installed a system of bottle burglar
alarms Each night before retiring, he
arranses 20 oE 30 bottles around each win
dow and door in his house The idea is
that thief entering will stumble over
the bottles and the crash of glass will
awake the occupants of the house.
Other men are said to be Installing big
steel hear traps with sharp teeth. Hard
ware merchants are doing It large busi-
ness in the sale of revolvers and ball
cartridges Vacant lots and Easements
are being turned into revolver ranges,
wherc the men OF Logan practice. The
sharp staCcatO snap Of automatiCs may
be heard in almost every street in the
section.
A wire nail burglar alarm has been in
vented by another man. who will not
give his name or address because he
says, If the thieves read about 1t they
would not come around The attitude
of many residents toward the burglars
is one OF expectancy. They want to be
visited. IIouseholders sleep with re-
volyers under their pillows or shotguns
standing up beside their beds. Bulldogs.
guaranteed not to let go once they grab
something, are being imported by the
dozen, and are being fed on raw meat.
Plans for the Vigilance Committee to
be formed by residents of the section
are raDidly nearing completion. The mat
ter will be discussed tomorrow night at
the meeting of the Logan Improvement
Association. Some members are said to
object to the plan, saying 1t is up TO the
city to provide protection for its citizens.

SUFFRAGISTS HERE
NOT CAST DOWN BY
ACTION OF HOUSE
Leaders of the Cause Elated
by the Fact That Con-
gress Considered Votes
for Women"

Suffragists in this city today saw VIC
tory instead of defeat in the failure of
the Bristow-Mondell resolution to pass
the House yesterday. The resolution pro-
vided for an amendment to the Federal
Constitution granting women the vote.
Advocates of this change are unanimous
in the view that the fact that the ques-
tion was voted on in the House after
nearly 80 years of trying to get that body
to vote on it shows concusivcly that
equal suffrage is a national question and
not one merely for the States
Miss Caroline Katzenstein, secretary of
the Equal FranchSe Society, said this
morning, in discussing the vote of yes
terday:
"'rhe defeat was not a defeat. 1t was
rather a victory, because the House voted
on the measure, and this is the first time
that it has done so in nearly a half
century of endeavor to get the question
before them for a vote We did not ex-
pcct to win ;,that is. to procure the neces-
sary two-thrds requisite for national
amendment. We are not disappointed,
but, rather, elated over it, because to us
it is victory. Equal suffrage is right,
and the only thing necessary for us TO do
TO get it Is to. work and advertise more
extensively"
Miss Mary II. Tngham, who is prom
nent in suffrage circles in this city, was
equally as optimistic. what is most
interesting and encouraging to me- she
said, lis the fact that the Representa-
tives from this State, Pennsylvania. re-
ceived the resolution so well. The vote
by those was 10 for and only against.
1t shows us that we shall be well re-
ceivcd i'm our work in this state. The de-
feat is not a setback. We expected II
and will work so much harder from now
on. Equal franchise is bound to come
Its only knock for moment was
the position taken by Miss Mary a. Burn
ham, prominent suffragist. "A national
amendment granting equal suffrage must
and will come And this Will be before
it comes throughout the country State by
state. We are going to work all the hard
er for our ends from now on | see
victory in the action yesterday. We
finally got the House to vote on it,
Mrs. s c. Stewart, secretary of the
Woman Suffrage party in this city, was
equally pleased. She said; II am par
ticularly pleased at the vote of the Penn
sylvaniars. Their vote strengthens us IN
our work in this State, The failure IN
the House yesterday was not ueleat
when looked at from all the surround
ing circumstances. l am content and
satisfied and not in the least disheart-
ened. We Will continue our campaign
ing in the same manner only with IN
creased vigor,'

The surrapists fell rs short Of the
necessary twozthirds vote with 81 mem

the fight. though the Democratic leader,

attitude of his party that suffrage was

suffragists.
Enthusiasm mingled with detection
when Speaker Clark announced the re-
suit and into the corridors from op-
