of the well-known Republican leader
of Seguin, was pursued by band OF
youths determined to avenge an al
legged assault upon one OF their mum.
Der, complaint charging aggravated
assault with a "blunt instrument
upon Walton Smith, was filed in
county criminal court, Monday after.
noon against Nolte. Young Nolte was
released under 5000 bond.
According to the story told by
version of the affair. Smith had writ
ten letter to girl here which con-
tanned Objectionable references to him.
He and companion had driven TO
Smiths home. Friday night. he. said,
and called Smith outside. He tough;
Smith with his bare hands. he said.
As result of the trouble Friday
night, Nolte was surrounded by n
band of youths while he was at q
cabaret. He succeeded in making his
escape to the home Of friend where
he spent the night.
An entirely different version of the
attack on Smith is offered by friends
of Smith. Four young men who ad-
NIT they were in the crowd that was
after Nolte Sunday night, stated Mon
day afternoon that Nolte had beaten
Smith with some weapon, although
Nolte is larger and stronger than
Smith. They declared that it would
have been all right for Nolte to use
his fists, but that he did not do this.
They also declared that they intend
to get Nolte and make him fight one
of them with his fists. That was their
intention Sunday night, they said.

PRESIDENT URGES
WOMEN TO VOTE AT
GAR. CONVENTION
Coolidge Does Not Touch
on Recent Clash With
Probers.

Washington, ID. c., April f5.-Some
action designed to encourage par
ticipation by women in the coming
election was predicted by leaders
speaking at the thirty-third congress
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution.
President Coolidge, addressing the
convention last night, pointed out
that for the first time in a national
election. the women Of the United
States have known far in advance
that they would have a voice in the
decision, and urged that they exercise
their right Of suffrage to the fullest
extent.
Declaring the people Of the nation
may well be called Ito the preserva-
ton, the guardianship, and the grad
ual perfection" of the American sys-
TEN of government. Mr.. Coolidge at
the same time warned against de-
parture ain this current troubled per-
iod" from the principle of. coordinate
legislative. executive and judicial au-
thority. The recent clashes between
thN tAttutiNt anu ittiSidtiNt DIdhtbc,
of the government, however. were not
mentioned specifically by the Presi-
dent.
The value of preparedness was
emphasized by General Pershing. who.
with Ambassador Jusserand of
France. and Howard of Great Britain,
also addressed The congress last night.
Asserting that the stability and flu
ture Of the republic depend on the
of our young men and
women" General Pershing said the
citizens training camps are attempt
ing to "train young men to an under
standing of their responsibilities as
citizens"
The reports of the resolutions and
other committees occupied most of
the attention of the congress this
morning, and meetings of state dele
gatiops and national executive COM
mittees have been called for this af-
ternooXn. The committee reports in
cluded those on the Pilgrim Mothers
Memorial Fountain at Plymouth,
Mass. and the painting to be pre-
scented to the War Museum Of France,
the Ann Rogers minor essay contest,
the society's magazine, preservation
of history spots, the national old
trails road, correct use of the flag,
the Liberty loan fund, the liquidat
and endowment fund, the student loan
fund publicity, and the memorial to
Caroline Scott Harrison.
