SUFFRAGE MARRIAGE PLAN Political Ceremony Idea of Boston Leader of Women. BOSTON. Mass., Oct. 1. (Special.) Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, Boston's marriage service adapted to the needs and views of woman suffragists. She believes that the ceremony should em body perfect equality for man and woman and not allow either to have the upper hand. "The word obey In the marriage serv ice is now generally objected to," says Mrs. Blackwell, "and many women whether - believers In suffrage or not. refuse to repeat It In the marriage service. I think suffragists would very generally concur in advising its re niova.1 "Possibly it would be a good idea to put In some clause which should make direct reference to the question of equal political rights. For Instance, some such phrase as this might be In serted: 'I promise to aid and assist my husband (or wife) In every way. and to help him (or her) to uphold hla (or her) political views."

The legality of the aviation weo d!ngto take place in a balloon at tho Clark County Harvest Show next Sat urday has been questioned and several of the' leading attorneys of Vancouver differ on the question.

Henry Cliyassen will marry Miss Nina Stanley. Rev. H. S. Templeton, of the First Presbyterian Church, officiating. The business men of the city and the Fair Association have pledged presents enough for the couple to start house keeping, after the aerial ceremony. The question of the legality of the ceremony was first brought up by Miss Stanley, who wanted to know If the knot would be tied as tight as If the wedding took place In a church. Fred W. Tempes. County Attorney, said he would look up the point, as It was a new one to. him. James P. Stapleton, former County Attorney for four years, said that the ceremony wonld bo Ille gal, and to make the marrlaze legal and binding it would have to be per formed again on terra ,firroa. He gave as his reason that the-license was is sued to be used in Washington, and no other place, .and.Hf the. couple, were married in a balloon, they were not In Washington. . It Is likely that the matter will . be taken up with the State Attorney-General, at Olympla, before the ceremony takes place. .

The curtain of night which was swung down on tha Austin flood scarcely before Its vic tims all had been claimed and Its sur- -viving spectators fully ' realized how. great a tragedy the elements of water and fire had enacted, was lifted by dawn today, revealing a ghastly scene of death and desolation. Austin Itself, yesterday a busy mill town of 3000 persons. Is only a ghost of a town today. '', Torn to pieces by' water and eaten by fire, th"e wet and charred remnants of its buildings, believed to hold the bodies of COO or more persons, were Birewu along uie vaiiey eage, piiea in rows where the Vain street business seotlon was, or swept In scattered masses down the ravine. Desolate Scene Presented. Spectators, many of whom barely escaped being victims of the disaster and hundreds of persons from sur rounding towns, looked .down from the steep hillsides on Austin and Costello through a veil of fog- this morning tot see the wreckage of some 400 houses, a score of business blocks, three churches and several large lumber mills, and three miles further down the river at Costello the ruins of mora than B0 buildings. ' , The flood did not spend Its foroe un- . Ill ii racea mure uikd ten muoa irvia the - reservoir. Wharton, still farther " on, suffered somewhat, but is prac tically Intact. The loss of life at Cos-, tello, where the residents had mora warning, is .believed to be but one. . " Loss Is 640O,0OO. - The property loss in the valley is es timated at upwards of J6,000,000. In Austin, out of the hundreds of persons directly involved in the de- luge, hardly a dozen survive. The furious flood let loose when the 5ay- , leas' Pulp &. Paper Company's dam. crumbled yesterday afternoon, picked up a huge battery of heavy timbers In the mill -yards at the foot of the dam -and with these thousands of planks and logs rammed Its path with terrlfioi havoc. ' ' At the hospital today there were but six injured for the care of the small army of physicians and nurses who poured into the devastated town all night and day, the medical supplies remaining unused in the cars rushed, here by the railroads. Sightseers Turned Back. The state constabulary arrived this afternoon and too charge of the st-, uatlon here. Immediately orders were Issued he" the railroads to bring no more sightseers to Austin and signs were placed on the chief roadway . permitting none to pass but workmen. Hundreds of automobiles and carriages) . were turned back. During the night searching parties with engine headlights, automobile lamps, pine torches and improvised lanterns of every sort, picked their way Into every pile of wreckage that was accessible, seeking any who might be alive, but scarcely a living person - waa found. . Surrounded by death, men who at . first had shuddered at the touch of a dead body, set about indifferently ." searching mangled forms for papers of Identification ere they had been long; . at work. One corpse among so many did not seem ghastly; the sensation waa appalling. . ; Wide Area Devastated.
