MRS. TROUT IS IN
CONTROL Of STATE
SUFFRAGE FORCES
ROUTS MRS. M'cULLOCk ALLIES
DURING skiRMlsH BEFORE LEG
iSLATURE BY WINNING HER
POINT.

Springfield. ILL.,, April 13-Aside
from settling the method of amend
ing the constitution so as to provide
full suffrage for women, the final de-
feat OF the suffrage resolution in the
house establishes Mrs Grace Wilbur
Trout and her faction of suffragists as
the simon pure suffrage organization
of the state. The present suffrage law
in Illinois was drafted by Mrs. Cath
crime Waugh McCulloch, who was ov-
erwhelmingly defeated in her attempt
to put over the resolution in the as
sembly this week.
Mrs. McCullOch and her forces have
returned to Chicago with bitterness in
their hearts, but with surface under
standing that they will now do what
they can to secure the adoption of the
constitutional convention resolution.
Mrs. Trout and her followers, are tri-
umphantly In possession OF the field
here and are laying their plans for a
statewide campaign In the interest of
the constitutional convention. The
first thing to be done. Mrs. Trout says,
Is to secure the adoption of the reso-
luton by popular vote in the fall of
1918 and then endeavor to elect dele
gates tos the convention pledged to
vote for full suffrage for women. She
does not believe this will be difficult.
Just new Mrs. Trout IL busy gather
Ing the signatures Of all assemblymen
who voted for the constitutional con
vention. These are written, on large
sheet OF card board and will be photo
1 graphed and framed along with the
signatures of the members of the for
ty-eight general assembly who voted
for the present suffrage act.
Il feel that the members deserve
recognition and am adopting this
means of keeping their names before
the women of the state in order that
they may know their friends Mrs
Trout said TOO often we forget
those who have assisted us but |
don't want it to be said of the women
Of Illinois that they are ungrateful'
When Mrs. Trout was asked what
would be the effect of Mrs. McCul-
loch's threat to defeat in the future
all assemblymen who voted against
the constitutional amendment resolu
tion yesterday, she only smiled. A
moment later she took occasion to
mention the fact that 101 members Of
the house and practically the entire
support the resolution.

.SUPPL|CANT WOMAN
HALTS COURT ASSHE
.PRAYS GUIDANCE
STRANGE SCENE is ENACTED IN
JUDGE MAYO'S TRIBUNAL YES
TERDAY DURING PROBATE PRO-
CEEDlkGS.

A higher court than Judge Henry
Mayo's was yesterday afternoon callet
hearing before the venerable jurist, by
a woman witness who prayed that he
be given divine guidance in setting thu
suit. Before rendering her supplica
tions to the Almighty Judge Mayo was
subjected to interroga: ions pertaining
to his religion When he replied he
was great believer in Supreme Be
ing. silence was asked for and the
prayer issued from the ladies' lips as
she stood with bowed head and hands
pointed heavenward
This unusual scene was enacted in
contest waged between heirs of the
late David Grant. who resided neal
ronica before his demise. Mrs. Mary
Grant Wright, of Storm Lake, Ia. was
the principal in this unusual proce
dure.
Mrs. Wright was called to Ottawa tc
testify during an attempt to settle the
estate. A son was asking for an al
lOwance covering the cost of some i'm
provements he made upon the farm
with his own money. Mrs. Wright. an
other heir, thought she should be re.
imbursed while others to share in the
property were os different mind. The
case lasted all day with lawyers or
both sides going into the evidence al
great lengths. Finally when the tes
timony was all in and Judge Mayo an
nounced he would take the case under
adyisement, Mrs Wright. interpellat
ed:
Your honor might | have a ques
tion with you?"
To which Judge Mayo replied. Ger
tainly, madam in his grandest style
do you believe in an Almighty
Providence?' was interrogated. "Do
you know Him.
Judge replied. Il believe in such a
Peing, bltI have no personal acquaint-
ance with him, however"
Whcreupon Mrs. Wright suggested
that supreme guidance be asked and
then started her prayer.
She fingered in her imprecations
whilst she asked that the Judge be
caused to render his decision as she
believed he should, aad in this manner
Justice would be doled out to the
claimant and his reward what he
asked
The action left the lawyers and
court more or less stunned, as 1t was
The first time in the history of La
Sale County tribunal that the AL
mighty was called upon with uplifted
voice, inst as a case had been an
nounced. reserved for decision"
| When interviewed this morning by
| akiree Tradcr-Journal writer Judge
/ Mayo was still undecided as to which
side was the winner. Asked If he was
waiting for the spirit TO move him, he
merely looked puzzled and shook his
head and left his interviewer as much
in the dark as he seemed to be at that
| time.

Washington, L. c., April 1.-THE
United States government and the
food SPECTATORS will 'go to the mat"
early next week. Measures comforting
upon the government absolute power
to fix maximum food prices will be in
troduced in both houses. The unpre-
cedented rise in food prices since the
United States declared war against
Germany has made prompt passage OF
such measures imperative to the ma
tions welfare in the opinion of sena-
tors and representatives who will have
them in charge.
While these measures are being con-
sdered, the senate agriculture com.
mittee will undertake comprehen-
sive, investigation Of the whole prob
lem of food production and coaserva.
ton and endeavor to make recommen-
dations for drastic legislation at an
early date. Among the many plans
now before the committee are:
Senator Kenyon's proposal to auth
orize the president to commander all
grain.
Senator Frelinguysen proposition
for mobilization of the country's agri-
cultural resources.
Senator Kings suggestion for fur
ther restricting food exports In that
neutral European countries to prevent
re-shipment into Germany and Ans
tria.
Senator Smiths resolution for using
every means possible to import and
distribute to farmers fertilizer ingred-
tents made scarce bv the war
Suspension OF the manufacture OF
whiskey and beer in order to conserve
the grain supply of the nation.
Senator Borah of Idaho, who advo-
Gated drastic steps to meet the high
cost of living at the last session OF
congress, declared today that the time
has come when the government must
assume the function OF fixing food
prices. He suggested that the power
might be conferred upon the council
for national defense.
Americas duty in this war is first
of all to feed her allies and herself"
he said. 1T is more important to pro-
duce and export sufficient food prices
that 1t is for us to send armies to
France. If the most careful steps are
not taken at once. the world Is going
to be face to face with food famine"
Commission to Europe.

tige of doubt that America Is in the
world conflict with both feet and
that the United States will wage war
against Germany in full cooperation
thruout with the entente allies was
swept away today when 1t was official
ly announced that American commits
sions will in the near future be sent
to the allied capitals Of Europe, Lon
don, Paris. Rome and Petrograd
These commissions will probably re-
main there permanently until the war
is ended, directing American interests
and arranging full coordination Of ef
forts with the Allies to remove Prus-
sian militaryism and, as President
Wilson stated, make the world safe
