ness of Epidemic, But Order
Stands.

Alexandria, Va, June AFTER
hearing the opinions of seven physi-
clans regarding the scarlet fever cpl
demic, the health committee of the
City Council tonight decided to adhere
to its action Of yesterday afternoon In
ordering the public and private

this afternoon.
The police were instructed to notify
the pastors of the different churches
in the city and also the superintend-
ents Of the Sunday Schools that there
will he no Sunday school today. This
ban to be continued until the epidemic
abates.
There was a diversity of opinion
among attending physicians over the
necessity of the closing of the schools.
DR.. German. health officer. told the
committee that a total of twenty-eight
cases had been officially reported to
him. Among the physicians. the total
number being treated totalled forty
three cases.
DR.. German thought that as long as
the foregoing places had been ordered
closed the committee should direct
that all places where persons congre-
gate In large numbers should also be
closed.
DR.. Smith stated at the meeting to-
night that he had treated twelve cases
and h, did not believe they were scar
let fever. All were very mild. he said.

Hopewell, Va. June 4.-The Police
Department is certain that conspir.
aey prevailed in the murder of Gar
abedian, the Armenian coffee house
proprietor. on Friday night. when a
fellow countryman OF his is alleged
to have shot him to death on account
of his failure to pay over $500 said
to have been due the man making the
demand
Hakoh Ohanasain went hurriedly
into the place and asked for the
money. He was excited. and said he
had just received a letter informing
him that his family and other rela-
ttves had been massacred by the
Turks. On failure - receive the
money. II was charged that he drew
a .3s-calibre automatic and fired eight
shots point blank at the coffee house
proprietor. three OF which took eff
rect. and from which no died In a
rev minutes. Ohanasain was arrested,
and acting coroner Justice Brttton
summoned a coroner's Jury to investt-
gate the killing.
The chief witness against Ohanasa in
was held by the jury as being I'M
plicated In the murder. and 1t is said
that the evidence pointed strongly to
his having committed the deed
All From Same Native Town.
There were quite a number of Ar
menians present when the murder
took place. but at the coroner's in
quest their testimony as TO what actu-
ally occurred varied greatly. It seems
that all the parties present at the
time OF the shooting came from the
same Armenian village In which the
victim formerly lived. and it is
strongly limited that there was some
black hand work involved In the muir
der.
The police are working on various
clues, and II is believed there will
be developments involving a number
or resident Armenians Cases involv-
ing the foreign element here are. ex-
tremely hard to handle, especially
when the witnesses are unable to
speak English, which is usually the
case. The services of interpreters
have to be secured

they never conceded a victory to the
opposing outfit until after the last
man had died in the closing inning.
A team with the fght which ths

Record of National Political Conven-
tons.
UP from the South will journey a
delegation of women to St Louis to
ask the Democratic Convention to en-
dorse State rights suffrage for women
Other sections will send women to
urge plank in Chicago at the Re
publican Convention. The Democratic
Convention may be startled at this in
uovation. since. strange as 1t may
seem, the party which proclaims de-
moCracy has not been particularly de-
mocratic in considering women as
people. The Progressives have al
ready welcomed women as a part of
the people of the United States. Their
platform contains woman suffra ge
plank. The Republicans may receive
women courteously and repeat the
pledges OF the past. Such action will
not be unprecedented. Three national
conventions OF the Republicans have
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of giving
women the ballot. The record runs
as follows
At Philadelphia in 1872 this resolu-
ton was incorporated in the plat
form:
The Republican Party. mindful OF
its obligation to the loyal women of
America. expresses qualification that
wider avenues Of employment have
been opened to woman, and II further
declares that her demand for addi-
tional rights should be treated wit h
respectful consideration"
Again in 1876 the national conven-
ton, held in Cincinnati. adopted the
| following:
THE Republican Party recognizes
with approval the substantial advance
recently made toward the esta blish-
ment of equal rights for women by the
many important amendments effected
by the Republican Leglsla lures, in the
laws which concern the personal and
property relations of wives, mother and
widows. and by the election and ap-
pointments of women to the superin-
tendents OF education, charities and
other public trusts. The honest de-
mands of this class of citizens for ad =
ditional rights, privileges and i'm
munities should be treated with re-
spectful consideration"
At the st. Louis Convention in 1896
the following plank was inserted:
The Republican Party is mindful
of the rights and interests of women.
Protection Of American industries in
cludes equal opportunities. equal pay
for equal work, and pre- lection to the
! home. We favor the admission of wo-
men to wider spheres of usefulness
and welcome their cooperation in res
cuing the country from Democratic
reimbursement and populist misrule. -

HARMONY AND ENTHUSIASM.

The concluding paragraph of the pre-
amole declares that this continued
trust and confidence could only have
been inspired by the knowledge of the
fact that he was wise In counsel. i'm
partial in Judgment and Just in ae-
ton"
In the resolution adopted the Viz
gtnia Democracy, through their deie-
gates express TO Mr. Ellyson their
gratitude and appreciation for his
splendid services TO the state and ma
ton and wish for him a long life of
success and happiness.
The retiring State chairman well
deserves all that Is said OF him. He
has indeed been wise. impartial and
Just Mr. Ellyson has worthy sue
cessors in Colonel Rorer A. James as
state chairman and Congressman Car
ter Glass as member OF the national
committee Of Virginia. Both are men
Of ability and long and loyal party
service, and both enjoy the confidence
Of tho people.

Well. we'll. now South Carolina steps

hasn't reached the center of activity
but she certainly stepped far across
the line when the Democratic State
Convention recommended to the Leg

nit the matter to the voters at the next

women suffrage she will lead the pro-
