dent in local government was estab-

When the telephone company an
nounced that 1t would charge higher

promptly advertised a mass meeting
at which the city's course against
the company should be determined.
The officers of the city recognize
that the city business is the business
OF the citizens and we want to advise
and cooperate with you in a matter
OF SO much consequence to the citi-
zenship," the advertisement read.
The citizens turned out in numbers
and voted approval of the commits
sion's plan to refuse to pay rate In
crease of SO cents a month ordered
by the government to begin this
month. Suit will be started to enjoin
collection of higher rates than those
given in the franchise granted by the

Chimney "Sweeping" May
Be REQUIRED in State

INDIANAPOLIS, March 24.-Enact-
ment of ordinances, making compul-
sorry the annual sweeping" of chin
neys in every city and town in Indi-
ana, is advocated by H. II. Friedley,
Indiana state fire marshal The saw
ing of thousands of dollars worth of
property from damage by fire and the
economic saving in the administration
of the different fire departments,
would result, according to Mr. Fried
ley.
One of the principal causes of fires
is the defective flue, statistics in the
fire marshal's office show. Investiga-
ton, after the damage has been done,
has called attention to some defect in
the flue, or the source of the fire was
traced to SCOT and accumulated dirt
burning. BY local legislation, making
the cleaning of chimneys compulsory,
defects in the flues would be discov-
cred and the chimneys. which now
in many instances are never cleaned,
would be opened at least once a year
Mr.. Friedley believes that such Or
dinances should contain provisions
fixing the price to be paid the Chin
ney sweeps" who demand exorbitant
prices now, he says. He believes a
fair and profitable charge for each
chimney in a one-story house would
be twenty-five cents, fifty cents for
each chimney in two-story house,
and twenty-five cents for each addit-
ional story. Another essential feat
ure in his opinion is that reports be
required of chimney sweeps" to local
officials of each flue they found to
be defective.
The cost Of answering fire alarms
in Indianapolis is estimated at $50
for each run. During the first two
months of this year the department
made 466 runs at a cost approximate

,SuFFRACISTS
SEE NEED OF
union IN WORK
St. Louis Plan for Concentra-

gress Of Women.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. March 24.-Union-
ization of women in their fight for
equal suffrage was the outstanding
subject today before the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, which opened jubilee celebra-
ton today. marking the fiftieth ami
versary of the granting of suffrage by
Wyoming
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent of the association, was on the
program today to outline the plan Of
unionization. The delegates were told
that the union, while having a SEM
blance OF political party, will not
have for it's aim political ascendency
1t will be the. reorganization of the
present association, and its chief OBJ
ject will be to bring clearly to the
front the advantages Of possessing
the right to vote.
Plan Call For Congress.
One plan for the union that may
be considered calls for congress.
One house would be composed Of rep
resentatives OF the 100000 women
from states which have full suffrage.
The other would be composed of rep
resentatives of non-voting states
Each house would be allowed to con-
slider its own problems, and national
problems would be considered in
joint session.
While this proposal was to be
brought before the convention today,
final action will not be taken until
the last day Of the convention next
Saturday.
A number of section meetings were
held today at which state problems
were decided. At a meeting of one
section of women who have been
granted suffrage these questions were
discussed: How can the laws of
several state defining the legal status
OF women be unified and approved"
What can women voters do toward
the Improvement of election meth
ods?" what can women voters do to
make the United States worthy of
world leadership"

right to vote for president and OF that
number 100000 in Is states have full
