T. R. FAVORS SUFFRAGE
He Comes Out for Federal Amendment
Giving Women Votes.

New York, April 29.-Colonel The
odore Roosevelt has issued a state
ment pledging his support to the pro-
posed federal amendment giving the
vote to women. His announcement on
the subject of suffrage was made pub
lie after he had conferred with Miss
Alice Carpenter, Mrs. Evan Evans and
Mrs. Philip Gerberding of San Fran
cisco.
The statement follows:
L believe that the time has come
for greater and truer nationalism in
this country. l believe in the national
ization of the issues which affect not
only men but women also.
Laws Handicap Railroads.
The great problems of our country
are national In the matter of the
railroads, for example, 46 different
sets of laws for their regulation mere
ly check and handicap their develop
ment and management.
Universal federal law is essential
for railroads. In the same way the
questions of the Acknowledgement
of women has become national and
demands federal action.
4 therefore heartily endorse any
federal amendment which shall sub
stantially provide:
First That the right of the citi-
zens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged on account
of sex.
Second. Congress shall have pow
er and it shall be the duty of con-
gress by appropriate legislation to en-
force the provisions of this article

DYER is HAPPY
Clay Center Man Sees Nothing But
Good Times Ahead

Prosperity and Republicanism have
returned to the Sixth district accord
ing to D. B, Dyer of Smith Center, can
didate for state auditor. Dyer who
is in Topeka today, declares that bust
ness conditions in the northwest coun-
try insure prosperous year for every
one. With another big wheat and
corn crop anticipated and a genuine
hope for a sweeping Repu blican vic
tory in November. Dyer sees nothing
but peace, joy and contentment
AS an evidence of prosperity, Dyer
today pointed to the fact that an ele-
vator company in his town. handled
10000 bushels of corn in March. The
company has shipped more than 1000
cars of corn, he said. Now there is
the prospect for a big wheat crop and
everyone is happy.
with ideal business conditions, an
other big wheat yield in sight and the
certain return to sound Republican,
ism, 1 am just a happy man. said
Dyer. "Out in my district the Senti-
ment for a return to Republican rule
in the nation is becoming stronger
every day My prediction is that the
nominee of the Republican party in
Chicago will win easily and that Kan
sas will pile up a majority of 10O,-
900 for the party. Every congressman
from Kansas will be Republican"
Dyer is a candidate for state auditor.
He has been making an active cam

THEY Went FISHING
CoffeyviIIe Citizens Did Not Wait to
Meet General Brewster.

More than a score of persons whose
testimony is desired by the state, in an
investigation of Coffeyville and Mont
gomery county conditions, have been
busy fishing just beyond the Okla
homa border. S. NJ. Brewster, attor-
ney general, returned today from COT
feyville. but he plaI.s to return Mon
day night and will meet the fishermen
When Brewster went to Coffeyville
several days ago number of persons
suddenly remembered business APP
pointments in other towns. Other
persons merely organized congenial
party and went fishing. The other
day the fishing party sent to Coffey-
vile for a load of groceries. 1t is
probable that they will remain in
Oklahoma until the investigation is
concluded.
Brewster today declined to discuss
the result of his probe of alleged law
violations in Coffeyville. He will re-
turn Monday to complete his work, he
stated. and will personally direct the
investigation. A number of witnesses
were called this week during inquisi-
tons by the attorney general and
county attorney. Testimony taken
during the Investigations will not be
made public at this time.

MEET, CRISIS
Session on Saturday Almost Unprece-
dented, Prompt Speculation.

London, April 29.-The cabinet met
unexpectedly this morning causing the
circulation of most sensational rumors
in view of the fact that ministerial
meetings are never held on Saturday.
The meeting was at once connected
with King Georges conference with
Premier Asquith and Lord Kitchener
yesterday afternoon and the reports
of a new government crisis.
In some quarters today it was rum
ored that the special cabinet meeting
had to do with the Irish crisis and
the almost unanimous demand by the
newspapers that Secretary for Ireland
Birrell resign. Another report was
that it had to do with the conscrip-
ton fight in parliament.

He LEFT ON FOOT
Bissell, in Charge of an Officer,

Around the Jail.

1t was only after a long walk that
took him through the West side, near
the site of his crime, the Crane street
district and Oakland that Fred Bissell

Jail.
At 7:45 o'clock Tuesday evening
while a crowd of several hundred per-
sons were pacing before the front of
the county jail, Deputy Sheriff Hol-
man and Fred Bissell left the prison
through the sheriffs residence on
Van Buren, street. Bissell had been
taken from the Jail through a corridor
in the rear of the building, that con-
nected with the Van Buren, street
wing.
To avoid suspicion Holman had
donned a pair of overalls borrowed
from a trusty. Bissell appeared just
as he had been taken into custody,
and was ,unhandcuffed.
From the Jail, Holman and Bissell
walked north on Van Buren, street to
Fourth street. There they turned
west and continued on West Fourth to
Taylor street, little more than block
from the scene of Bissell's crime. At
Taylor. the two men turned north
again and walked to the river. There
they turned east and followed the
river, through the City park and the
Crane street district. At State street,
Holman and B1SSel1 turned north and
followed State to Sardou avenue,
where Holman called the automobile
in which Bissell was taken to Law

Dear Sir-I notice the comment
relative to the mob violence contem-
plated in the case of Bissell, the sup
posed murderer of the little innocent
child, Edna Dinsmore. and 1 see that
Governor Capper and Mayor House
are very much disturbed for fear dis
grace would have come to the great
state of Kansas should the mob have
succeeded in their attempt to punish
the criminal degenerate / once upon
time felt that mob law was likewise
disgraceful, coming as L did from a
country where the law was enforced,
but after having exposed myself to
every danger in protecting a wilful
murderer and afterward seeing him
practically cleared of the crime by a
manipulated Kansas court and jury. I
concluded that where the evidence was
practically certain of the right party
that no mistake could be made in al
lowing justice to be done. Inasmuch as
we have no law permitting capital
punishment in Kansas SC much the
more the necessity of dealing with
"brutcs'' as the offense warrants. In
this case to my mind the action of
Governor Capper and Mayor House In
n much greater disgrace to the state
of Kansas and the country at large
than would have been any action that
mob may have taken. and as a mat
lcl VI AeiOis NONtIIOT 1dpper uISSTaced
the state and showed mighty poor
judgment on his part when he paroled
such a demon from the penitentiarv.
Little Edna Dinsmore was more to her
mother than a thousand such brutes
as Bfsse1 could be to any parent or
to any community. They should not
only permit perfect freedom in adj
ministering punishment upon such fell
lows, but should give reward to the
successful person accomplishing the
job, which would then be ended and
Kansas would be away ahead in char
acter and cash as well. Yours for
justice. j. F. RANDOLPH
