See VICTORY IN DEFEAT
National Suffrage Association Issues
Statement of Confidence.

Washington, Nov. 3.-At headquar-
tiers OF the congressional committee of
the National American Woman Suf-
frage association, this statement was
issued:
1.-THE campaign in the four big east
ern states, though it has not enfran-
chised women in any one of them, has
put the cause of suffrage on footing
never before attained in this coun-
try and impossible of attainment in
any other way. In New York, alone,
en- who want to vote, and has regis
tered at the polls half a million men
in favor of suffrage. This enormous
suffrage sentiment cannot fail to be
converted into votes for our federal
amendment in congress if the mem
bers of these four states pretend to
represent their constituents.
Moreover, out of the campaign has
grown agnificently organized body
of women who will not cease working
for the franchise until they have won
it. 1t is likely that Tor the present
they will concentrate their energies in
backing our work for the Susan b
Anthony amendment. This will not be
a change of method or policy, for we
all realize that the state and national
work go hand in hand. An advance
in one means corresponding advance
in the other.
tIt is automatic that once the Susan
B. Anthony amendment has passed
congress, a favora BILE sentiment in the
electorate must be won before it can
be ratified.
1.-The four eastern states through
their campaigns have gone a long
way toward ratification"

claims was shot and killed by her son,
Philip Brown, when the deceased was
chasing her with the family butcher

than was obtainable this morning.
Following third degree" proceed
ings in the county attorneys office
this morning, wherein witnesses told

what took place after it, county Off
Gals were convinced that young
Brown was not the only one concern
ed in the killing.
1t is believed by the county attor-
ney and police that Mrs. Brown is not
telling all she knows and that a Ger
tain man whom she wishes to protect
is involved. The cops are looking for
the man. All principals In the case
are colOred.

JOLT To KANSANS
Suffrage Returns From East a
Blow to Orators.
Women Will Win i'm Next Fight,
They Promise.

Returns from New York's suffrage
election were severe jolt to Kansans
who participated in that states big
battle. Both w. Y. Morgan, lieuten-
ant governor; and Major A. M. Har-
vey, of Topeka, had predicted suf-
urer, was the only Kansan to admit
probable defeat of the cause after his
trip to New York state
All of the KansanS who followed
the New York suffrage election, how
ever, believe that the women will win
Because of the part played by Kan
sans in the eastern contest, the re-
turns were of especial concern to suf-
frage advocates in this state.
II am not surprised" said Earl
Akers today. ''It really wasn't the
kind of fight that wins. Had the
suffrage advocates sent their speakers
into the field to make eight, ten or a
dozen speeches day, they might have
made better showing. That would
have been che Kansans way of doing
things. 1t would have taken New
York by the ears Again, the politi-
clans were not ready for suffrage and
against votes for women. But suf-
frage is coming in New York-maybe
in the next contest"
IT never predict defeat for my
cause Major Harvey said in explain
ing his prediction that suffrage would
win. TT was quite a jolt, but the
women will win the ballot in their
next fight. Watch and see."
The defeat of suffrage was more
decisive than / had expected said
Robert Stone, speaker of the house
of representatives. But 100000 in
New York is not as great defeat as
it seems in Kansas and the women

Suffered From Long Standing
Case of Stomach Trouble.
FRIENDS ADVISED TANLAC
Claims That Remedy Brought

Trouble.
FRIENDS ADVISED TANLAC

Although Tanlac, which has been

suits, was introduced less than two
months ago in this city and vicinity,
it and in return endorsed it most
highly. One of the latest to give
praise to the master remedy, is ]. w
Wilkinson, a well known farmer who
lives out from Wichita, who said:
''I have suffered for years from
stomach and bowel trouble. My en-
tire system seemed to be out of or
der, and 1 felt all run down. My ap-
petite was very poor and my digestion
was worse. In fact 1 had great trou-
BILE in digesting anything that 1 ate.
/ would become dizzy after eating, and
it was a hard matter for me to find
sleep at night; oftentimes I would lay
awake for hours after retiring.
Tanlac was recommended to me by
a friend; at the first opportunity I
procured a bottle and began to take
the wonderful medicine. And want
to say that my condition has i'm
proved in every way. Tanlac has
done me more good than I thought
in my case. My stomach does not give
me any more trouble. My digestion
is fine, and when 1 retire at night it
does not take me long to doze off into
a good sound sleep I gladly recon-
mend Tanlac to all my friends and
feel very thankful to the friend that
advised me to give the medicine a
trial.

cense for the Wabash Railway com
pany, now an Indiana corporation, to
operate in Missouri was refused today
by Secretary of State Roach.
secretary Roach sent a letter to }.
L. M1nniSs general solicitor for the
railway, in which he quoted a Missouri
statute of 1913, providing that no cor
poration not chartered under Missouri
laws shall be authorized to carry pas
sengers or freight from one part OF the
state to another. He also quoted a
section of the statute which provides
that no corporation can be licensed in
Missouri. unless it could be incorpor-
ated in this tate.
The new Wabash company was in
corporated in Indiana under a law
which permits a railroad company to
go into the business of buying and
selling railroads. There is no similar
law in Missouri, Secretary Roach
pointed out, and consequently the Wa
bash could not be incorporated under
the Indiana plan in this state.
Take Matter to Court.
The secretary of state said he
would be glad to cooperate with the
counsel for the railroad company in
having the matter settled speedily in
the courts. Railroad men today re-
called that shortly before the Euro
pean war, when the r organization of
the Wabash was under nsideration,
a definite plan was submitted to the
Missouri public service commission.
This plan later was withdrawn but
at the time it was contemplated that
the reorganization plan should be APP
proved by the commission before the
railway was bought at foreclosure.
This plan was not followed in the
recent reorganization and today it was
pointed out that the stock and bond
issues of the Indiana corporation
might not be subject to regulation by
the Missouri commission.
Road DefieS Roach.
St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 3.-Edward F.
Kearney, president of the wabash, to-
day said the road would be operated
in Missouri under its constitutional
rights regardless of the refusal of the
secretary of state to issue a license.
By refusing the license, he said, the
state would lose SO, 665-the license
fee-which the railroad would be glad
to have back.
If the Wabash did not operate the
trains in Missouri, he said, it would be
subject to litigation.

railway will be issued for years and
