Gen. Gomez artillery with remarkable
results After engaging in % battle,
and being wounded three times, he re
signed his command because 50 guerrilai
who had aided the Spaniards were ex

| While a colonel of the famous 2Oti
Kansas volunteer infantry in the Philip,
pine war, Funston performed feats oi
bravery that brought him the title OF
brigadier general. His canturc= of Aguin.
aldo and his fordng of the Rio Grande
river at Columpit under fire featured his
work.
Funston has been described by his SUI
periors as absolutely fearless. Ever
ready to plunge into danger, he cared
little whether his force equalled that OF
his opponent. One day, the story goes,
when it appeared certain that Filipinos
would destroy three companies under
Funston's command, Gen. Harrison Gray
Otis inquired OF the colonel how long he
could hold his position.
Until | am mustered QUIT" Funston
replied; and he made good by repulsing
the Filipinos.
When the volunteers were discharged,
Funston retained his rank as member
of the regular army. As regular Ne
made a mark by maintaining order in
San Francisco during the disaster of
1906 Temporarily in chorge OF the
troops at the Presidio, when the disturb
ance came, he quickly declared martial
law and set about obtaining accommoda-
tions for the homeless, keeping down the
cost of food and arresting trouble max
ers 1t was while he was in command
of the troops at Vera Cruz in 1914 that
he was raised to the rank Of major gen
eral. He then was 40 years old.
The ambition of Funston's youth was
to 90 to West Point, but he failed in an
entrance examination. In later years he
outranked West Pointers who
were in school when he failed of admis-
sion.
. Physically, Funston was one of the
smallest men in the United States army,
He was barely five feet and FIVE inches
tall and usually weighed less than 100
pounds. In civil life he was modest and
retiring. He was 81 years Of age.

 It is to meet the needs of these men, IS well as the American soldiers that the stations are to be established by means of a $7OS,OOO fund set aside by the Red Cross war council.

 SUFFRAGE
(By United Press)

| WASHINGTON. Sept 15. Suf- frage leaders view the passage of the war revenue bill under which thou sands of working women will pay in creased income taxes. as one more argument for speedy adoption of the suffrage amendment
 Under the new revenue bill nearly 1; s4,000,O00 will be contributed by wage earning women of the country" said Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the national American Woman Suf- frage Association, today.
 Unless these women live fin the western states, where women vote, they are unrepresented in the national law making body. Yet If their salary is over S1,000 per year part of their actual living is taken by an act of that body.
 Nearly half the stockholders of the | Pennsylvania railroad are women. These women will pay the taxes Will lingly, because 1t is the law, and this is war of emergency. But in spite of this they cannot choose their representatives in congress as can the male stockholders of the same corpor- ation.

 Most of the mining in the Tolovana lis done on Livingood creek, but new pay has been found on Amy creek, where considerable activity will be found next season. One reason for the smaller production has been the scar city of labor.
