pressed surprise at the announcement
by DR.. Anna Howard Shaw for eleven
years president of the National Ameri-
can Woman's Suffrage Association. that
she would not be n candidate to succeed
herself at the annual convention here

her reasons for retiring from the presi-
dency her belief that she can be OF more
service to the cause by devoting her
energies to campaign work in the vari-
Gus States.
None OF US had dreamed that Or.
Shaw would not be a candidate for re-
election" said Miss Ethel NJ. Smith, Of
tho Congressional committee. today. 'Of
course, 1t is not as II we were losing
her altogether. for she will be a big fac
tor in the State campaigns. but all of
us will hate to lose her as our president
and national leader"
That Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait.

committee. an International figure In the
suffrage world. Is the one woman In
America best suited to take up the
reins which are 10 be dropped ty DR..
Shaw, was the opinion expressed by
many suffragists today. Mrs. Gait Is
at present actively engaged In the work
of reorganizing New York for the next
campaign, and 1t Is feared that she may
not be willing TO give this up even to
accept the national presidency. Others
who are mentioned as po sible candi-
dates are Mrs. Raymond Brown, presi-
dent of the New York State suffrage
organization. Mrs. Harriet b. Laidlow,
also of New York. and Mrs. Mary Gar
ret Hay, who organized the woman
suffrage party in New York
Mrs Grace Wilbur Trout. of Chicago,
Ia also mentioned qs "A possible candi-
date for tho presidency. She is par
ticularly strong among the women Of
the West. and. should she be brought
out against Mrs. Gait. the race between
the East and the West would be a close
one, II Is believed.

POSTAL BANK DEPOSITS
SHOW HEAVY INCREASE
Foreigners Said to Be Holding Their
Earnings Instead Of Sending
Funds Abroad

Washington, Jan. 3l.-More than
100000 persons have been added to
the list of postal savings bank depos-
itors since the European war began
increasing the total deposits Of the
ssytem at the rate of nearly s3,OOO,oOO
a month.
Officials think this means thousands
of foreigners working in this coun-
try are holding on to their earnings
instead of sending money orders to
their native lands as in time past.
Figures made public tonight by the
postofiice department showed that
the total amount on deposit with pos
tai savings banks December 81 was
$50 100000 to the credit of $4,000
persons. Until the war began the de-
posits of the system had increased
steadily at the average rate OF "a
900 900 a month.

Proposal Is Rejected

The leading &c man statesmen
admitted Earon Eur.an's intentions
were excellent and TO some extent
justified by circumstances, but they
declared such a peace wou d be more
rrinous to Germany than total de-
feat. Disarmament of Europe, they
contended, would only mean that
Great Britain would be able to tyran-
nize the whole world and Germany
would have lost all chance for safe
guarding her CONNER ..al, industrial
and economic interests.
The other terms advanced by
Baron Burian, namely, the status
quito antebellum, that is to say, the
restoring of Belgium, and northern
France, but also the recovery by Ger
many OF her colonies, were, with tho
exception OF the relinquishment to
France of French Alsace and of the
Polish provinces to Poland, no abso-
lutte hindrance to peace.
For the reasons set forth the Ger
man statesmen declare the negotia-
tons for peace are hopeless and thar
therefore it would be madness to
take any steps revealing disposition
for peace on the part of Germany ana
Austria Hungary as this would only
weaken their .ase."

His son Lester, high school stu

The quadruple killing took place in

Coroner Feinberg stated that Auer'

tragedy for several days. The dead

his father had brought the rifle home
nine days ago. The coroner express.

The boy found under his door a
note in his fathers writing which

When the coroner came he found

that the Russian must, at all costs,
