TIN TOWN SUFFERS
 SEVERE FIRE EARLY
 YESTERDAY MORNING
Nine Dwellings And Struct- ures Burned To Ground By Blaze Which Originated In The Ramos Pool Hall

Fire which started in the pool room of Alejandro Ramos, in Tin Town early yesterday morning, destroyed nine houses of that Bisbee suburb, rendered a number of people homeless and caused a loss of about S2,500.
 The store of F. H. Morales and three adjoining dwellings were destroyed, the building in which the pool room is located and five other houses.
 During the fire. according to sev- eral who were nearby many reports were heard. The reports resembled gun shots and could only be accounted for in the supposition that the occu- pants of the houses had much ammu- hilton stored The size of the loss was kept to a minimum, due to the character of the buildings destroyed. Tin Town is literally a community built of tin and boards. No water connections are in the neighborhood and it is remarkable that the entire community was not burned to the ground.

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORTS COMPLETION
 OF JULY 4TH FUNDS
Parade Features Wonderful But Full List Will Not Be Reported Until Later. S25OO Subscribed

Twenty-Five hundred dollars will be the amount raised for the Fourth of July celebration in Bisbee, according to a report made to the general com, mittee last night by the chairman of the finance committee. This sum, practically all of which has been col lected, will go far towards giving the Warren District the biggest and best Independence Day fiesta ever enjoyed in the Southwest.
 Chairman Bennett, of the parade committee, reported in part last even- ing but reserved a complete one for a later meeting Some very attractive features have been outlined by the committee and more are in tentative shape. Float prizes will be offered and the owners of fifty machines have signified their intention of taking part.
 The executive committee has decid- ed that the program shall consist of eight pages. excluding the cover. The program will be unique in the respect that it will contain no advertising whatever.
 Tentative plans favor the holding of a miniature wild west about Warren sometime during the celebration. This may be under the direction of Clay McGonigle. one time champion roper of the world.
 Attorney Boyle of Douglas has been secured by the literary committee for orator of the day. The flag raising of the day will be staged at Warren Park. The fraternal orders have been cordially invited to participate in the and present indications are that the majority will accept. Night fireworks will be held in Bisbee and several sets of day fireworks in Warren. Two hundred colored post CTS, advertising the Bisbee affair, have been ordered printed and will be scat tered all over the country.
 The committee adjourned to meet again next week.

COPPER QUEENS
 LOSE ANOTHER
C. & A. Defeats Cellar Cham pions g to 6 At Warren
 Grounds On Sunday

c. & A, 9; Copper Queens, 6.
 True to their form. the Copper Queens lost again Sunday to the c. &. A. ball rossers at Warren. Past performances presaged the result ac- curately. Frankly the fans will ex- pect a shake-up in the Copper Queens before they again appear in pubic exhibition. Regardless of the indi- vidual merits of the players, the com bination seems unable to respond in time of need. the hits are not forth coming. The Copper Queen hasn't won a game this season.
 Martin, a youth fresh from the Zinc fields of Missouri, heaved the C. & A. crowd to victory, striking out 15 Queensmen, and allowing but seven hits. Bill Gallagher thereby deducts that Missouri can produce good bah players as well as good mules, for which the state has long been famous. Martin heaves quite as well with, his left as hit right wing, and has a big slow out curv that nearly broke the backs of the Queensmen Sunday, bit ing at them.
 Williams did good enough job in the Queen box, striking out s and al- lowing but ten hits, although one of them, by Champion, was disastrous home run. Joe Chapman, manager of the Copper Queens, pulled some right heady base running at times, using hits and run plays effectively and on one occasion drew the play to him self on first base, while the runner on third stole home.
 The scores are as follows:

Northerners Will Meet Locals In Matched Game Here.
 Is One Of Fastest

 The club has already raised about s70 among the players and have their hearts set upon about $60 more. which will meet the local portion of expenses for the trip. The Miami club is touted as perhaps the fastest in this part of the southwest.
 The Blue and Whites rather ran away with Sundays game at Warren, scoring 93 to the Wanderers total of 36. The scores are as follows.

the flood was again receding.
No attempt will be made to blast
a channel through the six-mile long
ice gorge. engineers decided. The un-
dertaking, they said, would probably
prove fruitless, even though thou

used. w. II. Petersen, Rock Island

Clarke, has opposed any further at

believes the situation will solve it.

The ice In the big floes towers
thirty feet in the air at some points
and is said to be frozen to the bed of

Scores of men have been engaged In
attempting to break IL up for five
days but their efforts have been at

CONGRESSMAN T0WNER Is
A WORKER FOR SUFFRAGE.
Eighth District representative Issues
Statement Praisins Cause
Of Women.

Congressman Horace NJ. Towner o.
Corning Is one OF the many influential
men OF Iowa who are supporting the
equal suffrage cause with enthusiasm
and sincere interest, as may be found
from the following statement issued by
Congressman Towner and published II
the Bedford mes-l;epublican:
1T almost seems necessary 10 apol
ogize for pressing The application of
fundamental truths 10 such a question
as this. But an argument against suf.
frage for the women Of America can
not be made without violating almost
every primary principle upon which
the republic Is founded.
Our government rests upon the con-
sent of the governed Consent cannot
be expressed except by the ballot. and
a woman can no more vote by deputy
than man. So
"A woman Is as much entitled To life,
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness as
Is a man. There Is no means Of secur-
ing these or Of safeguarding them ex.
cept by the ballot.
She contributes to its progress In
times Of peace and to its defense In
time Of war, yet politically she Ii
classed with immature children and
idiots. with the insane and with Grim
inals.
she Is primarily responsible for the
education Of her children. Is 1t just
that she should have no voice in the
management OF the schools?
"She is interested In the protection Of
the home. yet she has no part In max
ing the laws which guard II.
"She Is interested In clean streets,
pure water. potable water and civic
righteousness. and yet the village vag-
abond who believes that germs are
myths, cleanliness a fad and saloons a
necessity Is honored with the ballot
which is denied to her"

Mabel Lodge. state organizer. when
asked to give her opinion Of the state
plan Il think It Is the best In that II
keeps the practical work, like enrolling
the voters and planning for election
day. uniform over the state and allows
the widest latitude on publicity.
"On the practical side so long as Il
was a question OF carrying the legisla-
ture the plan involved the state sena-
torial district as unit Now that It Is
question Of carrying the state by
election precincts the county is the
INIT. In Instances where that is not
workable II permits even smaller units
Whatever the size OF the unit the prac
tical work Is carried ON uniformly ev.
erywhere.
Every organizer knows that the
point at which suffrage workers are
most likely to differ Is on methods OF
publicity. With the boards plan local
workers are not asked to startle Sleepy
Hollow with a brass band they feel
that such methods would arouse Sleepy
Hollow's opposition. but the brass hand
Is not denied them II they think II will
win Sleepy Hollow's cooperation.
Both on the practical and the pub
Iicity side 1t has been demonstrated
that the plan Is workable and that II
insures the greatest possible degree OF
local cooperation. The latter. It seems
to me. b its strongest feature"

SUFFRAGE PROVES ITS
REAL WORTH IN TESTS
Western States Leaders In All
Reform Movements, Says
Rev. Elmer {. HIgI0y.

II believe In woman suffrage because
of what practical experience has prov
ed as its worth" said the Rev. Elmer
e. Higley. pastor OF the Grace Metho-
dist Episcopal church OF Des Moines
and former resident OF Colorado. The
benefit OF women's suffrage does not
always appear on election returns. 1t
cannot be reckoned In figures and so
does not appear In statistics. There Is
moralizing influence which Is the
dread OF certain type of politician
and the joy OF another type.
AS to legislation, the suffrage states
are clearly In the lead as to reform
movements. child labor laws, laws gov
erning the age Of consent. minimum
wage. compulsory education and many
others.
There are today between seven and
eight million wage earning women In
this country. II has been contended
that woman's place Is In the home. but
our Industrial conditions have forced
her out of the home into the Industrial
life."

nearest town or the county seat GER
tainly Is a matter of interest and con-
Germ to the country women whose chill
dren find their recreation and amuse-
ments there.
Farm life Is no longer isolated. but Is
as much of the community life as the
town. Taxation concerns the women
OF the farm. because IL the taxes are
too high or the tax money wasted the
women suffer quite as much as the
men-in fact, they are apt to suffer
first because the luxuries and comforts
for the house are usually the first to be
omitted when poor crops and high
taxes make sacrifices necessary.
The duties and responsibilities Of the
farm woman have changed just as
have those of the city woman. She
can no longer carry on her tasks and
rear her family within the four walls
Of her home or the boundaries OF the
farm fences; her children ~ away
from her for their education. for their
companions and their amusements.
Products from the outside world come
into her home. The farm woman In
Iowa In 1915 is part OF the life OF her
generation. and she must change her
methods Of work and influence just as
the farmer has changed his methods to
suit the generation in which she lives.
Suffrage for women Is part Of the prog
ress OF civilization. II is coming just
as surely as mems suffrage came, and
| believe the farm women Of Iowa are
alive to this new responsibility and
ready to do their share in equal suf-
frage, which means only that men and
women shall have an equal voice In the
affairs of the government under which
they both live. whose laws they equal
ly obey. whose taxes they equally pay.
