WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
CONVENTION WILL.
ORGANIZE WORK OF.
STATE EXTENSION.
Omitted Press Service)

ST. LOUIS, March pa league
of women voters to speed the final
enfranchisement of the women of the
United States and to remove all legal
determinations against women, was
one of the many interesting subjects
discussed at the National American
! Woman Suffrage convention here to-
day. The session will last until Sat
urday, March 20. Delegates from ev-
cry state in the Union are in attend
ance.
! The jubilee convention, which COM
memorates the fiftieth anniversary of
the granting of suffrage to women IN
| Wyoming in 1869, was attended by
some of the best known suffrage lead
ers. In 1869 the National Suffrage
Association was formed, to be fol-
lowed by the American Suffrage As
sociation. In 1890 they were merged
into the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. For fifty years
the organization has been continuous.
AS the most fitting memorial TO
the half century of campaigns, wom-
en- of the country were invited to send
SiSACeotCo " q WOlHdI FOIcIS OOH-
ference. Upon this foundation the
convention hopessto build New Ma.
tionai Voters League.
Each fully enfranchised state was
represented in the league conference,
including Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho,
Utah, Washington, California, Ore
gon, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Kan
sas, New York, Michigan, South Da-
kota and Oklahoma. Each state sent
fifty delegates.
Some of the questions raised in
general at the discussion were: "Why
does the United States lag behind
other nations in extending votes to
its women?" "By what policy can
the enfranchisement of women be
most speedily brought to final tri-
umph ?" "Are women voters treated
with the dignity and respect they
merit at the hands of political par
ties ?" "Have women voters accom-
nlished the best results with their
franchise ?" "Can women voters
work for good causes most effectively
as an independent, non-partisan group
outside the party, or as partisans
within the party?"

tudes. On it's rapid vaporization alone
must often depend the lives of the men
in the aeroplane. This gasoline would
not be good for general use It would
z lack power on the ground, its loss in
storage by evaporation would be great,
and it would be expensive.
Making aviation gasoline for the
Government took very considerable
part of the low boiling point or highly
volatile constituents of the crude oil,
and, as result, the gasoline left avail
able for regular use lacked those quail
ties which assure easy starting of the
automobile engine.
The Governments demand for avi-
alton gasoline reached its maximum in
the late fall of 1913, and then for peri
Cd of about six weeks the deficiency of
Red Crown gasoline in low boiling
point constituents or easy starting
qualities was most apparent.
Now that the war is won and the
great demand for aviation gasoline has
ceased, we are again able to offer the
same grade of Red Crown gasoline as
formerly, with the same full and con-
tinuous chain Of boiling points-from
the low to the high-whichis necessary
for easy starting, quick and smooth
acceleration, high power and long
mileage.

Highly volatile gasoline for fighting
aeroplanes was one of the war needs.
The output of this special gasoline by
Z all the rehneries east of the Rocky
Mountains was not enough, SO Califor-
mia was called upon to furnish a large
part of the supply. At the request of
the United States Government the Pa
cific Coast Petroleum War Service
Committee apportioned Californias
quota among such of the large rehners
as were able to make this special gaso-
line.
The Standard Oil Company, being
the largest Of these, had the greatest
quota to fill. We were glad to do our
part. We supplied more than our quo
Ia of aviation gasoline.
- Aeroplane engines, operating high in
the air under conditions of extreme
cold and rarefied atmosphere, require
different gasoline from engines operat-
ing on the ground. In fact, the needs
are so special that the gasoline manu-
sactured for aeroplane use (often used
at attitudes of from 10000 to $4,000
feetJ would be utterly Indifferent for
use IN automobile or other internal
combustion engines operated on land
or sea.

HOLD BOY WHO SHOT SISTER
Coroner Insists That He Cannot Free
Young Bornqesser

Coroner Knight today held Otto
Borpgesser, nineteen years old, of 55O2
Wyalusing avenue, for the grand jury
in connection with the shooting of his
sister, Marie L. Borngesser, twenty
three years old, on June 49,
D. Coroner Knight explained that, al
though the girl in an ante mortem
statement exonerated her brother of all
blame aud declared the shooting an ac-
cident, the law was such that the cor
oner could not dismiss the case.
Miss Borngesser died June "a at the
Presbyterian Hospital of gunshot
wound in the abdomen. Testimony of
her family and of Patrol Sergeant
Young and her own ante -mortem state
ment showed that on the night of June
16 she grew anxious because her sister
Dorothy had not returned from New
York and decided to go downstairs to
wait for her. She got cold, her state
ment says, and put down a window,
then went into the hall to get a wrap.
Her brother heard the noise, saw the
figure in the hall and thought burglars
were in the house. He grabbed a rife
and fired, the bullet hitting his sister.

new National Free Zone Association.
This body was organized at the free
port convention at the Merchants As

"RED" CASE GOES TO JURY
Verdict Expected Today In Chester
Case

Cases of three supposed Radicals and
Bolshevik propagandists, charged with
melting riot by holding an unlawful
meeting in Chester on April 81, went
to the jury this morning. A verdict is
expected during the afternoon.
The accused men, who have been on
trial for the past three days in Court
No. 2, Media, are: Wasel Kaminski
and Andrew Green, and Michael Kales-
wiscz. the latter a Polish merchant in
Chester. Their cases were heard by
Judge Isaac johnson.
Kaleswiscz was the last witness called
by the defense this morning, and his
examination delayed the proceedings
considerably because of his inability to
speak English plainly. He denied that
he had Bolshevik sympathies, or that
he denounced the government and up-
held the soviet movement in the speech
he made at the April meeting.
