WOMEN APPEAL
TO GOV. COX
Protest Against Proposed
Invasion of State
Rights.
OPPOSE AMENDMENT
Deplore That Democratic
Party at Least Does Not
Deal Fairly With South.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 31.--The
Southern Women's League for the
Rejection of the Susan B. Anthony
Amendment, which has opened head
quarters in the Hermitage hotel in
this city made public today a ringing
appeal to Gov. James NJ. Cox. demo-
cratic candidate. for a hearing OF its
members on the questions of state
rights and party honor. The appeal,
which voices the principles and the
determination of southern opponents
OF federal suffrage, Is signed by Mrs
James $. Pinckard, president-generai
of the league. The text of the letter
addressed to Governor Cox is as fol-
lows:
My dear Governor Cox:-The
home-loving women of the south,
who do not picket, card-index or
blackmail candidates. appeal to you
as the leader of the democratic party
10 grant us a hearing-not on woman
outrage, which any state can adopt
for itself without changing a comma
of the federal constitution-but on
two fundamental democratic princi-
pies. state rights ard party honor.
We NiiAc DtCduHt "
fs boldly proposed, regardless OF the
Onalterable opposition of the majority
of women, to bring about the politi-
col conscription OF our womanhood
and the destruction of southern civili-
cation by using federal patronage
and party pressure to coerce the leg
tslators OF Tennessee into violating
their solemn oath of office and their
state constitution.
Even the New York journal of
, Commerce, northern republican
newspaper representing only the code
OF honest American business. editor
tally condemns this Tennessee pro-
position as plain perjury and viola
tion OF the elemental principles of
morality. Yet II is boasted by suf-
Jragists that you, the candidate of
the party dedicated to local self gov
crnment have sent secret agents into

rights, but to urge legislators to dis
honor their oaths OF office. We hope
that this Is not true.
you said recently that you had
found nothing In Holy Writ or any
other authority against woman suf-
frage. Neither do we find anything
In Holy Writ to Justify either woman
suffrage or perjury even though
Moses, Peter and Paul, not being
politically ambitious, omitted direct
references to votes for women.
We cannot believe that this om-
mission on the part Of the apostles
gives any candidate at this date an
excuse to Ignore the plain morals OF
the Tennessee situation while refer
ring to the Bible.
AT San Francisco, in spite of the
fact that the democratic Legislators of
eight sovereign states have defeated
this amendment, and the people OF
thirteen other states, including your
own state OF Ohio, have repeate dly
rejected woman suffrage at the polls.
southern men and women, even leg
islators and delegates, were absolute
ly denied a hearing on state rights
while negroes, suffragists, Hindus
Korean, Filipincs, Porto Ricans and
other were granted courteous hear
ings for two days.
THE suffrage plank adopted there,
oondemning the south and tho major
ity OF the women OF the country with
out a hearing cannot be regarded as
anything but a studied insult to the
south, for while It congratulates 20
northern republican legislatures for
ratifying. It implies a desire to read
out OF the party the entire south
which opposes this amendment.

QUAKE VOLCANO I
STILL FLAMING

MEXICO CITY. Jan. 1O.-Flames are
stiu being emitted by the new volcano
at San miguel, in the western part
Of the state of Vera Cruz, according to
adviees received here last night. It
is stated volcanic dust has floated as
far as Coscomatepec, about 20 miles
east of the new crater. Every village
in that vicinity has been destroyed
while lava and floods OF contaminated
water from sources opened by the re-
cent earthquakes are flooding the dis
trict near the crater.
Refugees from San Miguel confirm
earlier reports telling Of numerous
deaths from falling buildings and pol
sonous gases. Rebels who had their
headquarters in that region have SUI
fered severely both from casualties and
from loss Of supplies, 1t Is stated.
Reports from Teocelo by way Of Vera
the fear that the old volcano near Cofre
de Perote will become active since
cracks have appeared on the sides OF
the mountain.
First accurate reports from Couztlan
were carried last night in special dis
patches from Jalapa quoting DR.. Gar
ella Luna, who had Just returned from
Couztlan. He stated ne had counted
~ dead and 100 injured in that village
and asserted the roads between Court
Ian and Quimixtlan were completely
destroyed.
Jalapa reports that other travellers
arriving there say the village OF Bar
rama Alta, near Couztland, was almost
destroyed with numerous victims. In
Jalapa itself 95 per cent Of the build
ings were damaged. Water service
there is limited to two hours daily.
Vera Cruz authorities hope to main
tain the present supply for eight days:
by which time 1t is hoped the water OF
the river Jamapa, which supplies the
city, will be fit to drink. Recent vol
canic disturbances have rendered them
unfit for use.
Relief measures for quake sufferers
are progressing rapidly, 200, 900 pesos
being subscribed by the employees, OF
the national railways and more than
500, 900 from the army. Each soldier
contributed and the officers subscribed
amounts larger than were given by
privateS.
Rebels who attempted to ambush Gen.
Candida Aguilar, governor OF Vera
Cruz, while the latter was travelling to
the earthquake zone in that state di-
recting relief work, have been decisive
ly defeated, according to a war de-
partment statement A column OF cav
airy surprised the bandits under Hi
jinio Aguilar and Constantine Galan
near Agostadero, killing 80 and wound
ing many others.

The unprecedented depression in the
price of cotton is being closely watched
in Saxony, where much spinning and
weaving are done. The cotton manu-
facturers of that country have prepared
statement which shows that In 1914
cotton sold for 291s pence per pound,
and down to 1894 when the price on
Nov. - was by far the lowest ever
known, namely 2.90 pence. The report
says where fertilizer was used in 1894
it cost seven cents a pound to grow
cotton and in Texas where no fer
tilizer was used it cost 81 cents. The
price obtained for this cotton in Liver
pool was five pence. From this was
deducted 10 per cent for waste, o6
for handling, $1,25 for freight from
Texas, inland expenses, and the Texas
planter received $50 cents per pound
for cotton that cost him $40 cent, while
$50 cents went to the other cotton
growers whose cotton cost them seven
cents. 1t is estimated the growers were
heavy losers.

JACKSON is TO BUILD
HOUSE WITH COUNTY

JACKSON, Tenn, Jan. 10. Spl,)-
The construction of a modern court
house in Jackson, combined with a city
hall and auditorium and equipped with
complete facilities and accommodations
for all departments, is being advocated
by a number of representative citizens
and members Of the county court
The city commission has made
proposition to the county court that the
city would join the county in building
a modern courthouse and city hall on
Court square, and it Is believed that
1t would be poor judgment on the part
og the county officials not to carry out
their part of this proposal The fact
that the Accommodations of the old build
ing are handicap to the efficiency OF,
the courts and officials occupying the
building, 1t is believed that the prop
osition made by the city commission
would be advantageous to both the
county and city. The need of q new
city hall is equally as urgent as is the
need for new courthouse.
