WASHINGTON is 18TH
STATE FOR SUFFRAGE

OLYMPIA, Wash, Mar. 90 With
the ratification by the Washington
Legislature of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment to the federal constitution,
Washington became the 35th of the
Sc states necessary for adoption to
place it's stamp of approval upon the
universal woman suffrage law. The
legislature was called in extraordi-
nary session for the purpose of con-
sidering ratification of the amendment
by Governor Louis F. Hart.
Delaware probably will be the seth
state to ratify the woman suffrage
amendment, Governor Townsend hav-
ing issued a proclamation March 6
calling the Delaware legislature in
special session yesterday. Action on
the equal suffrage amendment was ex-
pected to be the main object of the
session.

Unlawful To Transport
Fern Plants Or Ginger

BY a rule of the board of agricul-
ture and forestry just approved by
Acting Governor Curtis p. Iaukea
(Rule No o., it is now unlawful to
carry any ginger plant, fern plant or
Spanish moss, sometimes called old
mans beard, from M island to an
other or from one place to another
on the same Island, except upon a
written permit issued by the board.
In short, no one is now permitted
to carry about any kind of fern, gin
ger or Spanish moss plant or part
thereof.
There is a weevil on Oahu that is
destroying the ginger; and on Hawaii
is another weevil that threatens to ex-
terminate the ferns. The Spanish
moss, it is feared, may get started in
the forests and become as destruct-
i've as it is in Louisiana, Florida and
other places.
Neither the ginger weevil nor the
fern weevil is known to be on Maui,
but the board of agriculture and for
estry is afraid that it may be and
therefore has decided to take no
chance that may be avoided. Under
the rule it will presumably make it
illegal to use ferns from the noun
tains for decorations at luaus or
funerals.

Public Administrator 0. P Ray
from making sale of the lands
belonging to the estate of the
late William L. McCampbell, de-
ceased, was tried before Judge
Lamb this week in the Circuit
Court at Salisbury, and decided
in favor of the administrator.
This removes the last hindrance

are advised by the administrator
that the land will be offered at

TRAIN WRECK.

Monday morning about three
o'clock an extra freight, east
bound, pIowed into the water
train at the Wabash station and
damaged both locomotives,
smashed the caboose of the
water train and severely hurt
the fireman of the water train
wno was camping in the caboose.
The water train engine was
headed east, at the rear of the
train, the caboose being between
1t and the tank cars into which
water was being spilled from the
big tower tanks. The extra
freight train came round the
curve in the face of all sorts OF
signals and at a high rate OF
speed, evidently, and crashed in.
TO the tender Of the water trair
locomotive, crushed the caboost
and dragged it nearly a hundred
yards down the track, broke the
frames of three freight cars il
the extra and put out OF com.
mission another box car in the
water train.
The fireman on the extra was
also hurt in the collision.
This is about the fourth wreck
at this point occasioned by the
presence Of the water train and
why the Wabash will persist in
getting water at a cost of nearly
a quarter million a year exclusive
Of damages from wrecks instead
of putting a pipe from the Char.
iton river to Moberly and getting
a big and more sufficient supply
of good, soft water for the shops
and engines, is and has been q
puzzle.

BASEBALL BUNKOEO
Championship Sold To Gamblers
Eight NOtables Indicted
Premier Humiliated

The championship games last
season we're thrown to Cincinnati
by Chicago White Sox players
who sold out to gamblers. Eddie
Cicotte, one of the most popular
pitchers, has told how it was
done and a Chicago grand jury
has indicted him Joe Johnson
and have six others on the legal
toboggan. Eddie got ten thous-
and dollars for punk, pitching
md Jackson got five thousand
for bum batting. Others are
said to have received various
sums for their part in throwing
the game and il is alleged that
the gamblers who fixed the
PLAYERS, won about two million
dDllars. The gamblers double
crossed the players who sold out
the games, paying only twenty
thousand dollars of the hundred
thousand promised,
Charles Comiskey, vet baseball
magnate and for years owner of
the SoX, has discharged eight of
his players and declares if they
are found guilty, he will see that
they never play professional ball
again The penalty for selling
out the games will be, maximum
two years in pen and a heavy
fine under a charge of conspiracy
to defraud.
Organized baseball has been
hard hit. the first time that sus-
picion has been we'll founded
that crookedness has decided
games, but the action of Comis-
key will restore confidence to
some extent. In any event,
betting on games will be lighter
for some time.
