JUSTICE THE GOAL,
WOMEN DECLARE
Final Plea Offered by Speak
ers at the Suffrage
School.
NO FAvoRS ARE ASKED

I'VE want justice" was the final
plea offered by the women Of the suf-
frage school before the mass meeting
of Omaha men and women assembled
at the Young Women's Christian as
sociation Saturday evening. The speak
er was Mrs. Frank Shuler OF Buffalo,
N. Y, corresponding secretary of the
national suffrage organization. She
stated that in her judgment the
agencies which have brought about
the great trend toward her cause
are the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the
Women's Christian Te importance
Union and the Women's clubs.
Mrs. T. 7. Gotham of Little Rock,
Ark. said: I'VE want no favors; we
merely ask that the state recognize
our equal worth. To the city of Oma-
ha womans suffrage would mean the
assistance of women in such things as
sanitation and child welfare. If you
could say in the advertisements that
you send broadcast over the country
that Omaha is the best place in the
country to bring up children, You
would have great influx of popula-
ton. Why not use the woman's ability
in your city,"
Mrs. H. w. Wilson Of New York
said that women are not trying to take
mems Jobs away from them, but that
there is work that women are pecu-
liarly fitted for.

POLICE BRUTALITY
STARTS REVOLUTION
Use Machine Guns on Crowd
Until Cossacks Fraternize
With the People.
NOT MANY EXECUTIONS

London. March ia review OF the
Russian revolution, forwarded from
Petrograd by diplomatic official,
says:
at would be misconccption to be-
lieve that the revolt was started by
faction or that it was accompanied by
great amount of bloodshed and dis
order. The actual trouble began Sat
urday. when citizens gathered to pro-
test against the food shortage These
good-natured crowds were treated
with great brutality by the govern
ment police, who used machine guns
on the people and aiterward on the
soldiers who opposed them.
Fraternize With People.
an the first outbreak l50O people
were killed or wounded by the police.
When the Cossacks were called TO aid
the police they fratcrnized with the
people.
"On Monday the First guard rcgi-
ment joined the forces OF the pro-
vincial government and soon was fol-
lowed virtually by the entire Pctro-
grad garrison.
THE incendiarism and disorder at
this time was entirely due to the ac-
tions of the police and the result was
the burning of two police stations and
one prison and the ransacEing OF
houses. including the home OF Baron
Frederick. Except in cases where
the police were caught III the actual
commission of murder, all the adher-
cnts of the reactionary party were I'M
prisoned, but not shot.
Capture of Winter Palace.
"The winter palace was strongly
held by the police, but was captured
without losses to the revolutonists.
No violence was offered to any mem
Der of the royal family. From the
time when the provisional government
took control there was no lootlng,
drunkenness or disorder.
Outside of Petrograd not a single
shot was fired. All the other cities
accepted the new order without re-
sistance and it was warmly welcomed
by the people in the army,
THE reactionary party has been
completely suppressed and the only
fear now is that the moderates will be
unable TO hold in check the extremists
among the revolutionaries.'
Vienna, March 10 Via London,
March l7.)-The news of the rcvolu-
ton in Petrograd produced the great
est sensation here, but at present there
is no official inclination to pass judg
mcnt upon the probable effect of the
entirely unlocked for event on the
European war, The general opinion
here is that the course of the war
at least will be influenced by the
moral effect of the Petrograd coup,
because its swiftness and extent has
introduced a new factor in the worlds
oolitical and military activities,
