CHICAGO, Oct. 19 Colonel Roose
velt at 11 o'clock tonight told Night
Nurse Fitzgerald that he felt exceed,
ingly tired. He had put in the time
since the consultation of his surgeons
at 6:30 in reading and talking with
Mrs. Roosevelt, shaving himself, hav
ing a bath and eating a little lunch.
His temperature at S:30 was 98.2, at
which figure it remained when taken
again at 11. His respiration and pulse
were stationary and about normal.
"I feel quite tired," he said to Miss
Fitzgerald, as she; left him for the
night. ,;I think I saw too many peo
ple today. I will be glad to sleep. I
need it."
The Colonel took a book, saying he
would read a few minutes and then
go to sleep for the night.
Colonel Roosevelt must rest all day
tomorrow in absolute quiet if he is
to be able to take an early train for
New York Monday morning.
This was the decision reached by
the surgeons who met in consultation
after a day during which, they assert
ed, the Colonel overdid it. A succes
sion of social gatherings and at least
one important political conference
which he held with Governor Johnson
took place today, and the surgeons
definitely determined to call a halt.

Willamette was entered Friday night

The cause of Equal Suffrage was
preached to the people of Oregon City
Saturday evening by Miss Ethel E.
Griffith of the College Equal Suflrage
League, and S. S. Gillespie, an attor
ney of Portland, who spoke from an
automobile to a large street audience.
Miss Griffith spoke on suffrage from
a woman's standpoint, stating that
women are held responsible for the'
health of the family and should have
a voice in-the appointment and elec
tion of the various market and milk
inspectors, as well as in many other
matters in which women are,- or
should be vitally concerned. Miss
Griffith eetf fourth the need women
have for the ballot, while Mr. Gilles.
pie spoke on the need of the country
for the ballots of the women and urg
ed upon the voters of the state that
they place "Justice before Chivalry."
That the prejudice against women
is a relic of barbarism, was Mr. Gil
lespie's opinion, and he outlined the
gradual evolution of the primitive
races and compared it with , man's
dawning recognition of women.
"The ballot for women is the anti
septic needed for the dangerous
growth of modern evils" was one of
the arguments which Mr. Gillespie
advanced.
The thinking people of the state
are beginning to appreciate the good
work done by the women of Washing,
ton and California and the sentiment
in favor of Equal Suffrage is spread-

accused of contributing to the delin
quincy of Valeria Proffitt, a fifteen,
year-old girl, who .committed suicide
early Friday morning by , drinking
carbolic acid, following an all night
automobile trip to Portand, will be
tried in the county court tomorrow or
Tuesday. The coroner's inquest re
vealed few new circumstances in con
nection with the trip and the myster
ious act of the girl. The only conclu
sion that can be drawn from the. tes
timony at the inquest, Is that the
girl, after being out all night, feared
to face her parents. Dr. Guy Mount,
who made the post mortem examina
tion, said the girl had not been mo
lested recently, which is corroborated
by the other four members of the
party. Clara ' -Johnson, also fifteen
years of age, who is being held as a
witness by the jail matron, said she
took a sip of port wine the boys had, .
and that Miss Proffitt did not drink
any of the wine. She said the young
men drank some of the wine. Mrs.
C. C. Hall, of the firm of Everhart &
Hall, who sod the girl the acid, said
that Miss Proffitt explained that her
little sister had cut her finger, and
she wanted to use the actd for a wasp.
Frank Proffitt, father of the dead
girl testified to finding a half emptied
bottle about .300 yards from the house.
Peter Marrs, the driver of the auto
mobile, said the car was taken to two
garages for repairs and that the last
time it broke down the other mem.
bers of the party boarded a street car
and went to West Portland. They ate
