Thousands of Women to Meet
Republicans On Suffrage

CHICAGO, June Thousands of
suffl agjsts, most of them clad in the
regalia of the National American Wo-
mans Suffrage association and re-
cruited, it is declared, from every
state in the country, will march down
boulevard late today to the Col
iseum and there present to the resolu-
tions committee of the Republican ma
tional convention an appeal for the
endorsement of equal suffrage.
The white column in long line
spreading across the avenue sixteen
abreast with fluttering yellow ban
ners and bands of music will be one
of the picturesque demonstrations of
convention week. Along the line of
march of twenty blocks the street will
be cleared and decorated with flags
and yellow and white bunting. Outer
Grant Park, from which the marchers
will emerge will be the reviewing
area. In the reviewing stand the
national officers of the organization
who will leave the line of march at
that point, Governor Dunno, of Illi-
nois; legislators and other invited
guests, will be found.
Before noon the women, thousands
of them from out-of-town, began
gathering. With the blowing of a
bugle. the grand marshal of the
parade, Mrs. Kellog Fairbank, of
Chicago, will take her place on the
viaduct that leads into Michigan boul-
evard. Escorted by platoons of po-
licemen and policewomen, she will
lead the line into the boulevard and
south toward the Coliseum.
One of the picturesque features
planned was the college womens di-

vision, distinguished by the caps and
gowns made by the marchers and the
brilliant hoods of those who had re-
ceived degrees.
In this division were assigned al
umnae of Vassar, Wellesley, Smith,
Bryn Mawr, Northwestern university
and the Universities of Chicago, Wis
consin, Michigan and Iowa. Students
of the art schools of Chicago were to
wear brilliant distinctive dress. Work
ing girls were to be led by Miss May
Irwin.
Women Of foreign birth whose hus-
bands have become American citizens
formed large group. A battalion of
several hundred Polish women car
ried red, white, and blue parasols in
such formation that the American flag
was pictured by their column, was
planned as feature.
Kansas, Wisconsin, Michigan and
New York, sent particularly large
gorups of marchers. The standard
dress of the marchers seen early at
mobilization points was varied by
some of the marchers in picturesque
manner. A group of 500 young wo-
men, the junior auxiliary of the Chi
cago Political Equality league, wore
d costume which included shoulder
cape. They wore military wide
brimmed hats and carried batons on
which were yellow poms poms.
A delegation led by Mrs. Gait will
present the suffrage plank to the res
olutions committee. This appeal will
be distinctive from the one to be pre-
scented by the Congressional Union for
Woman Suffrage demanding support
specifically of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment

Yaqui Indians In Southwest
Have Great Fighting Ability

Benderas was resourceful organizer
as we'll as capable fighter. He man
ufactured his own gunpowder and
made treaties with neighboring tribes.
He also recognized the advantage OF
preparedness and engaged several
white soldiers to drill his tribesmen in
the science of war. At the end OF
three years he had been so successful
that he was able to effect an advant-
ageous peace with the Mexican govern
ment, one of the conditions being that
he be made salried general of the
regular army. A few years later
Banderas led to second revolt but
this time he suffered disastrous de-
feat, was captured and shot in the
presence of his soldiers.
THE Yaquis take their name from
the Rio Yaqui (Chief RIVER, which
flows for 500 miles through the noun
tain gorges of Sonora, and finally
emptying into the Gulf of California.
Along this river the Indians make their
homes of reed and adobe, with roofs OF
grass and mud. The warriors are a
well-proportioned race, but they are
prone to over-indulgence in the native
drink mescal. Family ties are more or
less negative among the men, the Gus
tom of exchanging wives being pop
ular practice of not distant past.
They are closely related to the Mayos
who from time to time have been fore
ed into unwilling alliance with their
more bellicose kinsmen.
"a noteworthy characteristic of the
Yaquis is their fondness and talent for
music. They have retained many of
their primitive dances but the custom
of tattooing the chin and arms is no
longer practised to any general ex-
tent"

all the balconies will be used for
seats to acomodate the crowds of
visitors.
Adjoining the coliseum on the south
is an annex three stories hight, 10 feet
deep and with frontage of about
100 feet on Wabash avenue. 1t is
connected with the main building by
several broad entrances.
In the banquet of the annex, at the
south end of the main building and
near the speakers stand, is the tele-
graph and telephone room where
scores of special wires have been in
stalled for the use of the news gath
ering associations and newspapers In
sending stories of the convention to
every section of the country. In the
basement of the main building is a
completely equipped temporary hos
pital in charge of twenty-five OF chi
cago's leading physicians and surg
cons who have volunteered their ser
vices for the occasion.
The upper floors of the annex have
been fitted up with the administrative
rooms of the officers of the conven-
ton. Here are the private offices OF
the chairman, secretary, treasurer
and a score of minor officials. The
convention post Office for the prompt
distribution of mail to the officials
and delegates is in this section. There
is large meeting room for the Re-
publican National Committee and

WASHINGTON, d. G., June 7,-No
indians in the Southwest, have earned
greater respect for their fighting
ability than the Yaquis, who we're re-
ported recently as threatening the line
of communications of one of the Amer
lean forces operating along the Mex
lean border in pursuit of bandits. Con-
corning this warlike tribe the National
Geographic society has issue dthe fol-
lowing bulletin from its headquarters
in Washington:
"A distinguished ethnologist has
said of the Yaquis that they are the
only Indians on the continent who,
surrounded by whites, from the be-
ginning of their history, have never
been fully subsidized. In spite of the
numerous defeats which they have
sustained at the hands of Spaniards
ard Mexicans, dating back to the first
half of the sixteenth century, they
are today a brave, stalwart, athletic
race, admired for their industry as well
SIS for their courage Most of the va
quis are to be found in the southern
part of Sonora, one of Mexico's border
states, to the south of Arizona. Here
they raise corn, cotton, and the mescal-
producing maguey. The women are
expert weavers, while the men are al
ways in demand as miners, sailors,
farm laborers, and as expert pearl div
ers. Most of their trading is done at
the port of Guaymas, on the Gulf of
California, where one of their chief
articles af barter is tn esalt gathered
Gu the ADJOINING coast.
THE Yaquis are not numerous
tribe, the highest estimate of their
number being $1,000 in 1S49. 1t is
probable that at the present time there
are not more than 10000, about twenty
per cent of whom were transported by
tile Mevican government to Yucatan
and Tehuantepec few years ago as
the surest means of quelling the up
rising which continued to occur per-
iodically. AS far back as 1909 the
Yaquis were a dreaded foe. Captain
hurdaile in that year sustained three
successive defeats at their hands,
meeting with his most serious revers-
es when he commanded so Spanish
and 1000 Indian allies.
"One of the most SANCTUARY revoits
of the Yaquis was that which occurred
in 1926 when they were led by the re-
markable chief known as Banderas,
because Of his banner which was said

12,4O0 of which 9,4OO seats are on
the main floor and 5000 in the bal
comics. The crowds will enter through
four main doors on the Wabash
avenue side. There are % exits.
There will be 100 doorkeepers and 100
ushers in addition to large special
detail of police to handle the great
crowds. The seating arrangements
VIII follow the general plan of former
conventions although several changes
have been made which it is believed
will add to the comfort and conven-
fence of the delegates and visitors.
The speakers platform, twenty
feet long and forty feet wide, is at
the south end of the building. 1t will
provide seats for the officers of the
convention and members of the Re-
publican National committee. Sus-
pended over the stand is a specially
designed sounding board. 1t consists
of an inverted conceived pyramid built
of wood with the apex over the head
of the presiding officer. 1t is de-
signed to throw the voice through the
hall. Directly in the rear of the
speakers stand is a raised platform
with 1000 seats for the use of pres
idential candidates and other dis
tinguished guests. On either side of
the speakers platform, extending the
entire width of the building is a press
section, containing 558 seats for
working newspaper men.
In front of the speakers stand are
the seats for the 991 delegates and
back of these is the space set aside
for the seating of the alternates. The
section reserved for the delegates and
alternates is enclosed with heavy
