GOV. COX PLEDGES
AID TO SUFFRAGE
WOMEN OFFER A BIG RE-
WARD.
Will Do All in His Power to Bring
About Ratification of Amend
ment by Tennessee.

Columbus, Ohio, July 16.-Mem-
bers of the National Woman's party
were assured today by Governor Cox,
Democratic candidate for president,
that ne will do all in his power to
bring about ratification Of the fed
eral suffrage amendment by Tennes-
see. His promise was given to a
delegation from the woman's party,
headed by Miss Alice Paul, chair
man, late this afternoon, prior to his
departure tonight for Washington,
where, with his running mate,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, he will con-
fer Sunday morning with President
Wilson.
The suffrage leaders urged the
governor to use his influence in an
effort to have the Tennessee legisla-
ture ratify the amendment and some
of them intimated that unless he
came staunchly to their aid he might
expect little or no support from the
women voters in the November cleo
ton. Mrs. Margaret Graham Jones
of Seattle, Wash, said "the women
are going to vote for the candidate
who gives US the 36th state" Other
speakers voiced similar sentiments.
Not That Kind, Says Cox.
To suggestions by women speak
ers that the governor might expect
their votes in November if he should
be successful in efforts to obtain rati-
tication by Tennessee, Governor Cox
urged them not to "preach the gos..
pei that I should receive the votes OF
the women because l helped to give
them suffrage" He told them there
were things more vital "than re-
warding man for service which he
has rendered in behalf of suffrage"
Governor Cox suggested to the wo-
| mans party representatives that they
appoint committee to confer with
him on a definite plan to be followed
in handling the Tennessee situation.
In giving his promise to help them
the governor said:
81 give to you without any reser-
vation the assurance that my time,
my strength and my influence will be
dedicated to your cause, with a view
to procuring a favorable result in
Tennessee.

SEVERE QUAKES
AT LOS ANGELES
SHOCKS CAUSE DISORDER AND
DAMAGE
Men, Women and Children Are In
jured in Excitement Follow
ing Tremors.

Los Angeles, July 16.-Four severe
earthquake shocks today threw the
city and its suburbs into excitement,
indirectly causing number OF IN
juyies to men, women and children
and slightly damaged several build
ings, mostly old ones, but none to a
great extent.
While the shocks seemed to GEN.
ter in Los Angeles, some Of them
were felt more than 30 miles away,
but no material damage was done.
An unusually warm morning pro-
duced from some citizens the remark,
Good earthquake weather. 1t was
said in Jest and none was more sur
pr:sed than those who made the re-
mark when the first tremor came at
1910 in the morning.
Il felt much as does the sudden
stopping of a street car, operated by
"a inexperienced motorman, only
thai the tremor produced the un-
pleasant sensation. multiplied many
times.
Causes Agitation.
Excitement, in many cases hysterl-
cal, followed the first shock, and had
hardly been calmed when. at 1:2I IN
The afternoon, came the second. tol-
lowed two minutes later by the third,
and then fourth at 6:13.
Tie afternoon shocks were sharper
than the morning tremor and caused
much agitation.
Public places were scenes of near
panic, some people running for the
open air, some fainting, some stop
ping to pray. Many gathered at
street intersections, waiting to see
what would happen. Others who felt
they must be on their way walked
down the middle Of the streets, with
watchful eyes on the buildings. Many
sought Pershing Square, in the heart
of the downtown district, as a sane
tuary.
Big Windows Break.
Mortar was Jared from brick
walls and plaster from ceilings
cracks appeared in some of the older
structures and water main was
broken. A few copings and chin
neys fell, part of an embankment
collapsed, throwing dirt and brick
;nto the street and plate glass win
dows in some Of the downtown apart
ment stores were broken.
Perhaps the greatest clamors came
from the prisoners in the county and
city jails. = =,
In the former 400 prisoners felt
the morning shock with comparative
calm. but became wildly excited at
the first of the two in the afternoon.
They yelled, shook the bars of their
cells and screamed to be taken out.
The turkeys were trying to quiet
them when the third tremor came.
The resultant uproar lasted an hour.
For hours the receiving hospital
maintained by the city @5 crowded
with women and children. most of
them having tainted in the excite
ment; some, however, suffered more
serious accidents.

Over twenty-five years ago It was recognized tha the Insurance Trust evil from which the people or Alabama suffering, and this fact resulted m the enactment of a law which was approved teoruary lo' 1897, which reads in part as follows
 'To more effectively protect the people against com binations eonspracies and agreements between insurers whereby rates of insurance raised or fixed, and whereas existing laws have proved inadequate to pro- tect the people against combinations conspnaces and agreements between insurers whereby rates of nsur- ance are raised fixed by such practices therefore, III order to suppress such combinations, conspraces and agreements to the end that competition in business shall alone make such rates be it enacted etc, etc., etc.
 The law provides that members of combinations to fix rates may be required in of loss to pay penalty of 25 per cent addition to the loss suffered whenever judgment is obtained against them. This law has been held to be good by the Supreme Court of Alabama in more than one and by the Supreme Court of the United States also.
 Notwithstanding that they have been required to pay the penalty many the consprators continue to majority of they could escape the penalty made and provided and rates in Alabama have been raised until they higher many instances than they were twenty-five years ago, notwithstanding the great inn provements which have been made in buildings and ln fire protection.

 If the people use the weapon at hand they will get relief if they continue to give aid and comfort to the enemy, they may expect the enemy to exact tribute in the future they have in the past.
