ANTI-SUFFRAGE
SENATOR'S ARE
GIVEN REBUKE
Those Refusing to Vote for
Amendment Chided by
Sheppard. -

Senators who refuse to vote for the
suffrage amendment were chided by
Senator Norris Sheppard Of Texas in
a speech delivered In the Senate yes
terday. He declared that by their ac-
ton they were denying to the people
the most sacred right Of petition
which had been guaranteed by Magma
charta. the Bill Of Rights and the
Constitution itself.
Senator Sheppard addressed himself
particularly to. the Senators from
Southern States who are opposing the
amendment. He called to mind that
II was by the votes of Senators from
the South that the provisions for
amending the Constitution were adop-
ted, and said they were untrue to the
historic traditions OF the South in de-
clining by their votes the right of the
people for a submission of the amend
ment to the States
The refusal of certain Senators to
submit the suffrage amendment 10 the
states is tantamount to depriving the
people throughout three-fourths Of
the States of exercising their sover-
eign authorityc," Senator Sheppard
said, To the States as co-equai units
of an inseparable whole. acting
through a three-fourths majority. be-
longs alone the right to say whether
or not the Federal suffrage amend
ment should become a part Of the
Constitution. The Senator who de-
nies them that prerogative is a
usurper of their functions and de-
spoiler OF their rights.
"The preservation OF the peoples
rule is the issue at the heart Of the
conflict that now divides the world.
The United States has entered the
struggle because the principle Of the
peoples control has been everywhere
imperilled. The basis OF German i'm
perialism lies in the fact. that the
German people may make no change
in the German constitution unless the
German Emperor agrees that 1t shall
be made. Thus he stands between
the German people and the German
constitution, and yet there are men
in the United States Senate who say
they will not permit the American
people to consider q change in the
American Constitution in the manner
solemnly prescribed in that Constitu-
ton unless these men first agree and
believe that It should be made.
Senator Sheppard told his colleagues
from the South there was no reason
to fear the race question In connec-
ton with extending the right of suf-

EMMONS FARMER
SLAYS LAD HE
TRIED TO SCARE
Tragedy in Vicinity of Linton
Results from Depredati0ns
of Gang y

Linton, n. Dr. Oct. 2.-No action has
yet, been taken in the ca BE OF Anton
Bockmaier, an aged farmer who is
nearly blind who in an effort to
-frighten some boys who were raiding
his root house the latter, part of last
week shot and instantly killed Fred
Schumacher, member of well known
Emmons county family. 1t is alleged
that band OF boys had for some
time past been making forays on gar
ages, cellars and storehouses, and it
is claimed that they already had once
visited the Bockmaier cellar, which
is some distance from the house,: Last
week Epckmaier again heard the
youngsters at work in his cellar, and
with the remark that he would "give
the young devils good scare," he
took down his shotgun, went to the
door and fired in the general direc-
ton of the cellar. When son of
Bockmaier started in pursuit of the
raiders he tumbled over the dead
body Of Schumacher, who had been
shot throwgh the neck and instantly
killed. Bockmaier is much distressed
by the tragedy. He insists he fired
with view to shooting over the heads
of the young men, and he accounts
for the fatal results of his act by ex-
planning that because of his poor eye
sight he did not make sufficient al.
lowance for the fact that the root
cellar, upon which his victim stood,
is at. considerable elevation above
the house from which Bockmafer
fired.
