SUFFRAGE GIVEN TO WOMEN Purpose Is "ot Merely to Alleviate Sufferings of Individuals, but to End Wrongs of Whole Hebrew Race. BY DAVID J. G ALTER. PHILADELPHIA. June 10.' This is election day for the Jews of America. Three millions of them, scattered througnout the length and breadth of the land, were called to report at the polling station nearest their home to chose 400 men and women, who shall constitute the American Jewish Con gress, the first organization of Its kind in the history of the Jews in this country. I ay men and women because one of the first things they did before they brought this complicated organization into being was to decide the question ' of woman suffrage. By a unanimous vote the women were given the same rights and privileges with the men. There is no doubt that in the election which is being held today many women will come out victorious. Such per sonalities as Mrs. Joseph Fels, the wife of the well-known single taxer and philanthropist; Miss Henrietta Szold, president of the Hadassah, the lead ing Jewish women's organization in the land: Mrs. Richard Gotthell, chairman of the Women's Congress committee and wife of the well-known Semitic scholar at .Columbia University, will undoubtedly be elected. Jews Would Relieve Oppression. The idea of the congress was first broached at a conference held at New York August SO, 1914. It grew out of the desire on the part of the American Jews to be of service to their brethren still living under oppression, by ap pealing to the conscience of the world and by efforts to secure a hearing for the claims of the Jews at the forth coming peace conference. The master mind responsible for the congress idea was that indefatigable worker in the Interests of his co religionists, Mr. Justice Louis D. Bran delj. While his appointment by Presi dent Wilson to the position of Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States interrupted him when he was in the midst of "putting his plans Into effect, however, the work was taken up by others and is now nearing com pletion. With the election over today, the wheels will be put in motion for the congress proper, which will take place in Washington not later than September 2. Brandelt Summarizes Work. It was Justice Brandeis speaking shortly before his nomination by the President, who outlined the work of the Jewish congress in these words: "Though we may give ever so gener ously in money, we shall still fail to do our part in this great crisis unless we seek, not merely to alleviate the suffer ing of individual Jews, but to end the wrongs to the Jewish people. We can not cope with individual suffering un less we succeed in removing the cause of that suffering. And the fundamen- tal cause of Jewish misery is not the war. The war is but an accident, which has made the long-existing misery ob vious to the whole world. The war has acted as a. magnifying glass, intensify ing the suffering in some places ten or a hundredfold, so that now none, ex cept the blind, can fail to see It. The underlying cause of Jewish misery is ever the same. It is now the same as it was before the war. And after the war is over the misery will continue further unless the conditions under which more than one-half of the Jews of the world live are radically changed. In order to end the misery an end must be put to injustice, an end to oppres sion, an end to denial of opportunity." Many Jewish Catherines Held. In the course of the agitation carried on in behalf of the Jewish emancipa tion, different plans of organization were advocated, and during the time of the discussion and consideration of the subject many important Jewish gatherings were held and action on the matter was taken by conventions and meetings of Jewish organizations in all parts of the country. In addition, at least four notable conferences were called into being in connection with the propaganda, which was carried on for the Jewish rights. The National Work men's Convention of September 6 and 6, 1915; the conference of presidents con vened by Adolph Kraus, grand master of the Independent Order B'nal B'rith, and held in New York , on October 3, 1915; the preliminary conference for an American-Jewish Congress held in Philadelphia March 26 and 27, 1916; the conference of National Jewish organ izations held in New York July 16, 1916 these conferences representing large numbers of organized Jews in this country and giving expression to the sentiment of the Jewish masses of the people, ultimately paved the way for a coming together of all Jewish forces in America on a common platform. The officers of the American Jewish Congress are Nathan Straus, chairman Colonel Harry Cutler, Morris Hilquilt, Dr. Harry Frledenwald, Dr. Isaac A, Hourwich, Judge Leon Sanders, vice chairmen; Adolph Lewlsohn, treasurer Jacob Carlinger, honorary financial secretary: Bernard G. Richards, execu tive secretary. HOUSE UPHOLDS MEN0CAL Session Stormy Over Issuance of $30,000,000 Treasury Bonds. HAVANA. June 10.

RAILWAYEARNINGSGROW PROSPERITY SHOWN IN EVERY SECTION OF COUNTRY. Western Carriers Exceed Banner Year of 1916, Revenues Increasing More Rapidly Than Expenses. WASHINGTON, June 10. Nearly com plete returns from all railroads for the four jnonths ending with April, made public Saturday by the Interstate Com merce Commission, show continuing improvement In net earnings in every section, notwithstanding greatly in creased operating expenses. The East still continues the dark spot on the railroad map, but cnows a marked Improvement In April over March. Southern roads showed net revenue for April, 1917, of $4 a mile less than April. 1916. while Western roads, grouped as a whole, made more money than ever before, exceeding by $31 per mile net revenues of the banner period a year ago. Operating revenues reached new high figures, $1,192,911,654 for the four months, an increase of nearly J106.000.000. Expenses rose approximately $125.- 000.000 to S72,000.0OO. For April, reve nues showed an increase of $37,000,000 and expenses increased virtually the same amount, leaving net revenues ap proximately $100,000 more this April than last. The discrepancy in per mile figures is due to the operating of less mileage last year. Western roads showed increased re ceipts of $56,000,000 and increased ex penses of $46,000,000 during the period. For April, the increase in revenues was $18,000,000; in expenses. $14,500,000. SHELLS AIMED AT DIVER Bombardment of Algeciras Not Due to Target Practice. MADRID, June 9, via Paris, June 10. Investigation of the accidental firing of shells into Algeciras from Gibraltar last Saturday show that it was not due to a mistake during target prac tice as was reported at the time, but that the shots were fired at a sub marine which fled into the straits, pur sued by three cruisers. The submarine attempted to escape in the darkness by running close to the shore. Gibraltar was notified of the approx imate position of the submarine and in attempting to reach it bombarded the city. Only slight damage was done. PORTLAND WOMAN DESIO'S OF FICIAL. BUTTON FOR. ELEVENTH ANNUAL. ROSE FESTIVAL. Emblem designed by M linmmel.

Clara J WOMEN FIGHT OFF WOULD BE SLAYER Alf Lindsey Slashes His Own Throat When Prevented From Killing Wife. TROUBLE IS AT LA GRANDE Mother and Sister huiier uis u Hands in Coming to Rescue of Airs. Undsey, Who Is Slashed by Husband. . LA GRANDE, Or., June 10. (Spe cial.) Alf Lindsey, a lew yeuro one of the best amateur basketball players In Eastern Oregon, last night at midnight attacked his young and attractive wife with a kitchen knife, but was prevented from killing her when the victim's mother and sister inter fered, but not before he had inflicted deep wounds upon his wife's head. He then drove tne unite into ni throat on the left side, severing hlB windpipe. Struggling in the blood - spattered home of the Potts family, where Mrs. Potts. Mr. and Mrs. Lambert and Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey lived. Mrs. Potts and her other daughter, Mrs. Lambert, ior getting their own danger, gave heroic battle to the crazed young man and, with their bare hands cut and lacerated in the struggle, beat him off and man aged to get Mrs. Lindsey out of the house in the middle of the night. The moment the women had escaped to safety, Lindsey turned on the front porch and stuck the dull blade Into his throat. The exterior veins were sev ered and, with his wounds bleeding freely, he staggered into the house. Screams of the women brought neigh bors to the scene, and the horrified women were given first aid. None of the women was seriously . hurt, al though Mrs. Lindsey is in the hospital. Lindsey was alive when physicians and Chief of Police Rayburn arrived, and he was carried to the hospital near by. Doctors Hall, Biggers and Bacon sewed up the gashes last night, and this evening the man still lives. That he can recover is deemed practi cally impossible. Motive for the act, it is said, is found in the fact that Lindsey and his wife had not been living happily. The Potts family and Mrs. Lindsey were about to move East, and to this Lindsey seriously objected. The matter came to a climax last night when Lindsey wrote a note saying he was tired of life and then tried to butcher his wife and himself. While being taken to the hospital he was able to attract the physicians' at tention to the note in his pocket, and indicated his desire to be allowed to die. The public at large knew nothing of the family difficulty, as they lived quietly and peaceably to outward ap pearances. No taint of scandal Is at tached to the family troubles, and a good name has always been borne by those implicated In the bloody affair. FIRST-AID Iff! SHELLED CHICAGO UNIVERSITY STUPENT TELLS OF TRENCH LIFE. Germans, He Declares, Train Machine Guns on Ambulances and Riddle Cars With Shrapnel. CHICAGO, June 10. American college men in the ambulance service in France have performed a heavy task in the opening of the Summer offensive against the Germans on the west front. Besides running the gauntlet of Ger man snipers, the volunteers have worked for days without rest, aceord- ng to a letter received today by a friend from Carroll Gates, a junior In he University of Chicago, who has been awarded Croix de Guerre for valor in the ambulance service. "We operate from the third-line renches, where the wounded are brought in from No Man's Land, and the shells fall all around our ears. One fellow was wounded and ten of our cars shot full of shrapnel. "The road going to our post on the trenches is in full view of the Germans and the 'bodies' shoot at us with ma chine guns. A fellow had a piece of his nose shot away by a bullet. At the time of one attack our post was only five-eighths of a mile from the German first-line trenches and they fired at our ambulances as much as they did at the French soldiers, so it is not a very healthy place for a peace-loving man." 1PAHQ PHONES SILENT EMPLOYES OF INTERSTATE UTILI TIES COMPANY STRIKE.
