TUESDAY AFTERNOON


 Equal suffrage" was the subject of Tuesday afternoons meeting of the District Federation of Women's Clubs. The meeting was opened with the song America" with Mrs. Harold Strauss at the piano. Mrs. T. T. Gotham pre- sided Mrs. 0. F. Ellington of Little Rock, prominent official in the suff- rage cause was the first speaker. Her subject was Equal Suffrage move ment in Arkansas. She reviewed the movement from it's beginning, with an organization in 1885 of only seven women in the city of Little Rock, on up to the present, thus portraying the wonderful growth to date, and the brilliant future prospects of Suffrage under the new administration, when women are free, and at liberty to give full sway to their ambition. Mrs. Minnie Rutherford Fuller of Little Rock, prominent in Club, Suffrage and w. c. T. U. work was the next speak CT. Her subject was "The New Con- stitution." With copy of the old Constitution in her hand she read, and commented on it's flaws, and from the standpoint of suffrage, offered many suggestions for it's improvement. She told what tn new Constitution stood for, namely, "Home," Children" "Busi- ness and Morals" etc. She urged the cooperation of all women in the Red Cross work and every other means of work for the good of our land and country.
 Mrs. T. T. Gotham made the closing speech on "Our New Citizenship" and a wonderful speech it was Mrs. Cot nam is one of the brainiest women in the entire Southland. Her speech was a masterpiece. She suggested many forms of "New Citizenship" including Education and the creation of Govern- ment efficiency. She asked that won- en be allowed to aid in the building of new and better citizenship. She urg- ed all women to pay their poll tax, and qualify for voting.
 After the distribution of flags, the audience arose and sang, "Star Spang- led Banner" while the flags were wav- ing.
 After hearing these wonderful speeches, and the portrayal of what Woman's Emancipation means for good to our country, those sitting back and reviewing the whole in the light of "Mannish Women Neglected homes," "Race suicide" and Petit coat Government" are bound to stop and take notice. Pessimism must be relegated to the rear. Each speech was the result of deep study and thought, and each was a roseate vleW of prospects under the new constltu- tion.
 After adjournment the guests re- paired to the home of Mrs. E. H.. Vance for the reception. Those in the receiving line were officers of the var ious clubs of the town including the s. I. A. and the Country Club. Many rich and beautiful gowns were in evidence, some of which would rival Worth" creation. The reception was followed by delightful program

Prisoner Declares he is Now Ready
to Suffer Any Penalty.

Bologna, Italy, June 25.-Altredo
Cocchi, the fugitive New YORK mo-
torcycle dealer, abandoned on satur-
day his pretense of innocence of the
murder of Ruth Cruger, and confess
ed his guilt. Jealousy was his mo-
tive. He was unable, he declared,
to win her love, and became furious
when she rebuffed his persistent at
tentions.
The admissions Of the young ltal-
ian, whose escape the New York po-
lice failed to prevent, were made IN
tears, after searching Interrogation
by Judge Zucconi broke down Cocchi's
reserve. Prior to this examination,
Cocchi had cooIly and insistently main
tanned he had known Miss Crugcr
only two days before her disappear
ancc in February, when she went to
his shop to have her skates sharp
ened, and had declared his conduct
toward her was entirely correct.
Under Judge zucconi's searching
questions, however, Cocch finally
burst into tears. He became so agf-
tatcd as his confession fell halting!y
from his lips that the persons sur
rounding him believed he was about
to have an epilctic fit.
He was granted time to recover,
and then resumed the story of how
the eighteen ycar-old Wadleigh High
School graduate met death at his
hands in the building where her body
was recently uncarthed from the
cellar.

take to the roadway and fight it out.
All four men set upon Devlin. He
knocked one down, and upon arising
drew a revolver from his pocket and
fired twice at the detective. Both
shots took effect. 1t was at this
juncture that Miss Whelan scream
ing interfered in the battle and
rushed to Devlin. Two more shots
were fred and they entered her brain
killing her instantly. The chauffeur
of the car was arrested last night,
but he was unable to tell where mis-
passengers fled

WOMAN WADEs PAYsTTE RIVER

Quite a little excitement was caus-
ed last Friday at the Mckinney
ranch northeast of New Plymouth
when Miss Lillian Orvis who had
been working for Mrs. Mckinney and
for some time had been acting rath-
er queer, suddenly made her escape
from the place, wading the Payette
river headed toward Payette. Con-
stable j. B. Cosman was notified and
Immediately started with a car for
the Mckinney place. He took her
tracks which led along the bank of
the river. She was overtaken by
Mr.. Cosman when near the d. w.
Ainey ranch north of Fruitland and
brought to town and cared for at
the Willard Alden home until Mon
day morning when she was taken
to Caldwell by Mr.. Cosman for ex-
animation before the Probate Court.
Miss Orvis, while somewhat mental
ly unbalanced, due to sickness, is a
bright appearing lady.

they had been for the past week

joying the sights of the city and al
SO while there Mr.. Brown entered
samples of butter in the butter con-
test of ten states.
The ten states which entered into
the contest were Idaho, Oregon,
Washington, California, Colorado,
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah
and Montana. From these states were
entered sixty-five different samples.
Mr.. Brown won a gold medal for
the best samples in this state and
was awarded a bronze medal as Srd
in the Northwest. He was only beat
en- by two points by Oregon for
the Grand prize of all of the states.
This shows great increase over
last year on account of the better
care taken of the cream by the
farmers.

BETWEEN THE DEVIL
AND THE DEEP SEA

The Editor of the New Plymouth
Sentinel sens to be between the
devil and the deep esa. He could
make a million dollars in a million
days, but says he, if the Payette
County Enabling Act is carried on
May 11th and he has to pass through
a cemetery every time he goes to
the county court house, he would
rather die, than live million days.
The Editor of the Enterprise has
watched the City of Fruitland grow
from a sagebrush desert to its pres
ent thriving condition, and it looks
pretty much alive to him. We have
seen no tombstones, or sodded
mounds that might cause a thrill of
sadness in passing through.

A good window display is an indi-
cation of thrift. The merchants of
Payette are not lacking in this line
of advertisement. So often merchants
neglect this important part of their
business except just before Christ
mas. or some other time when they
are expecting a crowd in town, but
the business, houses of this city
have a good display in their windows
all the time. The display at the
Moss Mercantile, advertising the AL
bers pancake flour, is especially good
and must have been gotten up by
some one who had baked pancakes
over a camp fire. He never got il
out of book.

The announcement that James God

been arranged by the Ellison-White

as well as to those who are interest

Born on a farm in the south, the
future grand opera star went west
at the age of eighteen, where he
remained for some time. Urged by
all who heard him sing, to take up
music as profession, Mr. Goddard
after much thought went to Chicago,
and began to study with William
Clare Hall, one CT the best teachers
in that city, who proceeded to per-
feet the natural beauty of a remark !

AT the end of two years Mr.. Hall
took Mr.. Goddard to Paris and plac-

greatest of his time) where after two
Years Of practical work Mr.. Goddard
made his debut at Covent Garden,

acclaimed one of the
worlds great singers by the London

Mr.. Goddard, however, has not con-
