HEAR ARGUMENTS
ON SUFFRAGE LAW

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 9-Arguments
in the case involving the constitution
ality Of the Indiana woman's suffrage
law were heard today by the Indiana
Supreme Court. The rguments ad-
vanced by the lawyers representing
the interests attacking the law, and
those representing the women were
along the same line as those present
ed in the lower court in Marion coun-
ty, which held the law invalid, and
issued an injunction to prevent the
election officials of Indianapolis from
making preparations to handle the
women's votes or permitting women
to vote in November.
The argument of the attorneys at
tacking the law was that the suffra ge
act is unconstitutional because it con-
ficts with the sections of the present
Indiana constitution which describes
the qualifications Of voters at all
elections in the state. They also
charge that the expenditure of money
in preparing for the votes the women
may cast is illegal. and will constitute
an unauthorized burden on the tax
payers; that delivery to election in
spectators of lists of votes containing
the names of women will cause end
less confusion in the work of deter
mining the qualified voters in each
precinct.
The. section of the constitution re-
lied upon by the plaintiff in the case
described voters as every male citi-
zen of the United States, of the age
Of twenty-one years and upward" 1t
was said that the legislature has neith-
er the power to add or substract from
the qualifications thus set forth.
The lawyers for the women argued
that the constitutions reference to
male citizens" does not exclude 9th.
ers, and that 1t was intended to in
sure he right of suffrage to the desig-
mated persons, SO that the legislature
could not take away the right to vote
from them, but that in the absence of
express constitutional prohibition or
inhibition the legislature may admit
others as voters.
In passing on the questions, the low
er court said it had nothing to do with
those of policy or expediency.

WHIP GERMANY.
URGES WILSON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-The League
for National Unity, organized here
with the appreciation of President Will
son today is preparing an intensive
campaign for the unification of public
opinion in the war. A consolidation
of the chief elements of national life,
religious. political. labor, agricultural
and industrial, has been effected in
an effort to merge American thought
in a single channel.
In a brief speech at the white house
yesterday, President Wilson told the
leaders of the movement that recon
ciliation of the present diversities of
public opinion is necessary that
America must keep in mind that hos
tilities should end only when Germany
is defeated and her autocracy super
seded by democracy. Talk OF pre-
mature peace, he remarked, is abortive
to the nations war aims.
Honorary chairmen Of the league
are Cardinal Gibbons and DR.. Frank
M. North, president of the federal
council of churches. Theodore N Vail,
president of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co. was selected as act
i've chairman. with Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor; Charles Barrett, president
of the Farmers Educational and Co
operative union and George Pope,
president Of the National Association
of Manufacturers as vice-chairmen.

Piersol Was to Kidnap Britisher
For Germany; Says Prosecutor

and that on being asked what their
purpose was, that Peirsol replied, "By
-, we are going to get the Keet
baby" The prosecutor declared that
on the day the baby was stolen, Pier
sol and Cletus Adams went to the
Keet home to deliver package ad-
dressed to w. r. Wolfe, well know
ing that this was the Keet home mas
much as Cletus had delivered pack
age to the same place the day before" !"
"At the outset of this case, it ap-
pears that when this defendant sought
to approach some one to go into his
unlawful schemes he first put the
proposition that they would kidnap a
man who was the representative of
the English government and that he,
Piersol, was a representative Of the
German government and that the Ger
man government would pay them a
good sum for holding this English
man so that he would not be able to
bid on lumber real which might in
terfere with German representatives
bids"
"Piersol wrote all the letters receiv-
ed by Keet, the father OF the kid,
naped baby, as will be proved by ex
perts in handwriting"

Fire Anniversary
Goes Off All Wrong

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The 46th ami
versary of the great Chicago fire
turned up in sardonic mood today.
In the first place John c. Mcdonald,
chief OF the bureau of fire prevention.
whose slogan is that an ounce of pre-
vention is worth a ton of water, was
driven from his home by fire in the
basement.
The second instance concerned Cor
oner Peter Hoffman. Mr.. Hoffman
installed a safety device in the chin
ney OF his residence. The device,
however, turned back the coal gas and
when the coroner was awakened he
found his wife, three children and a
maid unconscious from the fumes.
None will suffer serious consequences.

MARSHFTELD. Mo-, Oct 9.-Paul
N. O'Day, prosecutor at the trial of
Claude ]. Piersol, charged with kid
naping Baby Lloyd Keet Of Spring
field, In his opening statement today,
declared that Piersol had admitted to
Samuel Allender, Chief of detectives.
at ST. Louis and Mr.. O'Day, that the
elaborate story he had told when frst
arrested Of being an agent OF the Ger
man government was pure invention.
Mr.. O'Day after reviewing the his
tory of the disappearance and subse-
quent finding of the infants body in
a cistern near Springfield, asserted
that PIersol for two or three years
had been giving serious thought to
all the particulars which must be con-
sidered in bringing to a successful
consummation crime of kidnapping.
The prosecutor stated that wit
nesses would show that short time
before the kidnapping of the Keet
baby, Piersol and his alleged band
had frequently been seen in the
neighborhood of the Keet residence,
that all of them were armed and car
ried masks and frequently stationed
an automobile at a convenient place
nearby.
Offered Money for Help
Mr.. O'Day declared the testimony
would indicate that Taylor B. Adams,
who also is charged with the Keet
kidnapping. had approached persons in
Greene and Christian counties OFFER
ing them sums Of money to engage in
kidnapping projects. These. persons
would be used as witnesses, the states
attorney declared.
The testimony would indicate, Mr..
O'Day continued, that about the 18 or
19 of March, Piersol and his compan-
ions were stationed in automobiles
across the street from the Keet home

OF DEPENDENCY

Members of the Richmond army
board will finish the work f-dsciding
dependency claims Tuesday afternoon.
ALI of the cases where the depend
ents were wives and families have
been disposed Of by the board and the
cases that are left are those where
aged or infirm parents, widowed moth

More trouble from the war tax.
This time the kick comes from the

makes the purchases, and it's all be-
cause most Of the cash registers in ci-

Formerly most Of the wares of the

(By Associated Press)


Without regard to the highly unfav-
orable weather conditions prevailing
and In surprisingly short time after
the successful British thrust of last
week, the British and French forces in
Belgium have launched another heavy
attack on the German lines.
The blow fell early today in tha
region east and northeast of Ypres
where Crown Prince Rupprecht's lines
had already been dangerously bent
back by the previous British thrust.
The British commander early re-
ported satisfactory progress on all
parts OF the attack which he an
nounced was made in conjunction with
our allies on our left
Paris Reports Success.
Shortly afterward the Paris official
statement indicated clearly that the
French forces in Flanders were those
alluded to by the British commander
In chief The launching of an attack
in concert with the British was an
nounced and the favorable develop
ment OF the attack reported.
A considerable force of French
troops took part in the beginning of
the Flanders drive in July 81 and in
the subsequent fighting that consoli-
dated the ground won by them from
point northeast of Langemarck as far
north as Dixmude.
This section of the front remained
comparatively quiet while the British
to the south were renewing their
drive last month. Apparently the
time is now considered opportune to
bring the line to the north more nearly
on the level with the advanced British
front The French attack today ex-
tended as far to the north as Houth-
olst Forest, about five miles toward the
coast from Bixschoote
British In Good Shape.
1t had been pointed out, that with
the salient part of the Passchendaele.
Gheluvelt ridge in their hands as the
result of their success last week, the
British were in an admirable position
to push farther east towards the
Menin-Roulers railway line
This invaluable line of communica-
tion for the Germans between their
bases In southwesterly Belgium and
| northern France and their Belgium
| coast position was already commanded
by the British guns.
The renewed push is in the direction
Of this line which before this mornings
attack began was about five and one
half miles distance from the point Of
the British wedge at Broddsende.
Foes Morale Suffers.
Numerous indications have been
found, according to reports from the
Flanders front, that the German NOR
ale in this sector had notably deterior-
ated under the crushing blows of the
British and their overwhelming artil-
lery superiority. Lack Of the former
vigor in the German counter-attack
and their comparative infrequency are
| cited as corroboratfve of this.
The theory is thus suggested that
despite the unfayorable weather condi-
tions, Field Marshal Haig decided to
hit the Germans another hard blow
while they were still staggering from
the effects Of their defeat last week
and thus shake still further their al
ready precarious hold on western Bel
GUM. possibly to the point where they
would be compelled to let go.
