lures to Act on Suffrage
By Emma Bugbee

UTICA, Nov. 18.-The women voters
of New York are not through with
Thaddcus C. Sweet. Although they did
not succeed in effectng his defeat as
member of the Assembly in the last
election, they have started campaign
to reduce his power as Speaker of the
Assembly by changing the rules so
that the Speaker will be unable to pre-
vent vote on measure. This action
came as the only surprise IN the first
days program Of the annual conven-
ton of the New York State League of
Women Voters which opened at the
Hotel Utica to-day.
The hostility Of the league to Sem
ator Wadsworth and the renewal of
the campaign for the women's welfare
bills, as we'll as many uncontroversia l
matters referring to Americanization
and education Of women voters. APP
peared on the list of recommendations
OF the executive board. These recon-
mendations are expected to be adopted
by the delegates tomorrow.
Mrs. Frank A. Vandcrlip, nominee
for the presidency OF tho league
sprang the surprise attack on Speaker
Sweet, and thereby also served notice
that under her leadership the women
voters would keep things stirred at
Albany next year as much as theT did
this year, when the women's welfare
bills were the most exciting matter
before the Legislature
Legislative Methods Attacked
Mrs Vanderlip wanted the women
to come right out in the open and
wanted them to urge their Assembly,
men to refuse to reflect him as Speaker
when the Legislature convenes Her
plan, however. was defeated.
A substitute recommendation was
adopted, which was directed not against
Speaker Sweet personally, but against
the whole structure Of bill control in
the Legislature. The recommenGatio.,
was:
"That the League of Women
Voters 60 Oh record as being abso-
lutely opposed to the autocratic
power which the rules give the
Speaker of the Assembly, and recon-
mend that their Assembly districts
call the attention of their Assembly,
men to this undemocratic proc dure
and urge them to amend the rules Of
the Assembly TO make it possible
that the individual members who rep
resent them may express their CON
victions by votes on the floor of the
Assembly on questions that come be-
fore them"
The women seem to be almost unani
nous in their opposition to the re

the assault, the girl was justified bv
reason of indignites which had been
put upon her. He argued also that
medical testimony showed that there
was strong probability that the rirl
had been temporarily insane at the
time Of the affair
Assistant District Attorney McKen-
nell declared that the whole of the
state rcformatory system was actually
on trial. The system, he said. was try-
ing to reform these girls and make
something out Of them, and in many
cases it was successful There we're
some cases which were too obstinate
for any treatment, he affirmed. and this
was one of them. He cou'd only de-
scribe these refractory, fighting, inso-
lent and insubordnate girls as hell
cats" He extolled the women attend
ants, who, he said, had in many cases
left refined homes and given up ad-
vantageous business positions to de-
vote themselves to work for the better
ment of humanity. He declared that
the evidence had proved the assault.
and that the issue of insanity was so
nebulous as to be untenable.
The case may go to the jury today.

Artists Model on Trial

Marian Brooks, who says she is an
artists model and that she halls from
Norfolk. Va, went on trial before
Judge Rosalsky in General Sessions
yesterday, charged with having stolen
$1,000 diamond ring from Jerry Lowe,
civil engineer attached to the United
States Shipping Board Offices here.
Mrs. Brooks, young, good looking and
we'll dressed, asked to see loves ring
in the Moulin Rouge on October %,
Lowe charges. She slipped it on her
finger and later was unable to tell
what had become OF it, he says. She
says:
Your Honor, a little investiga ton
in my home town would show who I
am and that such a charge against me
is preposterous."
The trial will be continued to-day.

CLAIMS THE MURDERED
 CANADIAN HELPED ROB

As a sequal to last weeks robbery of the Caldwell Toggery Shop and the stealing of Attorney Jordan's auto, one Jack Dalton is now being furnish ed free board and lodging at the hos telry of Sheriff c. w. Harp. Dalton was apprehended at Springerville and brought to Holbrook by Constable Al win Tremmell. When apprehended, the prisoner was in possession of the Jordan automobile and approximately half of the goods taken from the Tog- gery shop.
 Dalton asserts that he was assisted in the robbery of the Caldwell store by the Canadian soldier found mur- dered near Seligman on the 4th of October, and the man who is now in custody at Visalia, Cal, charged with the murder.
 However, advices from the county attorney of Yavapai' county, where the murder occurred, to Sheriff Harp, are to the effect that the Hudson car and the two men mentioned by Dalton, passed through on the 4th of October, two days before the robbery at Holbrook and this refutes absolute ly the prisoners story as to his ac- complices. That he was assisted in the Holbrook robbery there seems to be no doubt, but he has refused to give any version of the robbery other than the account above referred to.
 Dalton has been in this part of the country since last July, working at vorious ranches and at Cooley.
 The search for Dalton led officers into New Mexico where the robbery car had been reported as having been seen, and when Sheriff Harp returned an aggregate of 13 hours sleep was all this officer had obtained since leaving Holbrook Tuesday until his return on Saturday last. The sheriff says that while the "way of the trans gressor is hard" still he has nothing on an officer forced to catch freights, autos, wagons, burros, and all modern and ancient means of travel to appre- bend him.
 Of the three prisoners who broke jail last week, one Adele Thomas, negro, now on probation from the Florence penitentiary, has been recap tured at Gallup and returned to the county bastile, where it is quite un- likely that he will effect another get away.--Holbrook News.
