GOVERNOR ON SIDE
OF KANSAS WOMEN
A
Promise of" Political Aid Re
news Hope of Militant
Suffragists.
MOVEMENT GAINS IMPETUS
Probability of Submission of Consti
tutional Amendment in 1912
Xow Conceded by State
Officials.
TOPEKA. Kan., Dec. . 11. (Special.)
The militant women of Kansas, who have
nerved notice that they intend to become
citizens of the state in all that the term
Implies, wound up a two-days' meeting
here tonight that hee caused the. ene
mies of woman suffrase to shudder. Poli
ticians and state officials admit that re
newed interest in equal suffrase in Kan
sas means that sooner or later the women
are.goin(t to vote and enjoy equal privi
leges with men. j
Votes Tor women wl'.l be the great re
form movement in Kansas. For more
than a quarter of a century a little band
of suffragists has fought valiantly for
the ballot, and made appeals almost with
out number to Governors, state legisla
tors, conventions' and representative
bodies for equal representation, but they
have not received much recognition. They
may vote for school and city officers, and
they may hold county offices,. I
The women of Kansas look" to Governor !
Stubbs as the leader in the great fight ,
for equal suffrage and they have as
surances that he will throw his influence
and that of his administration for the
election of a Legislature next year that
will submit an. equal suffrage amendment
to the constitution, and that will be
voted on in November, 1912. The acqui- i
Kltlon of Governor Stubbs to the equal
suffrage movement will give it powerful j
momentum. !
The Kansas Equal Suffrage Association
points to the splendid record of women
who have been elected or appointed to
offices of trufrt and responsibility in this
state. It declares that Kansas women
have held their own In all lines of com
merce and business where their 'services
have ben sought. In the history of the
state there 13 not an instance where a
woman who was Intrusted with large
sums of money became a defaulter, it
says, but there are numerous cases where
women employed in banks and other
business institutions have detected and
prevented the squandering of the funds
and ultimate failure.
AMERICAN MEAT SHUT OUT
Gorman Conservatives Strongly Op
pose Tariff Concession.
BHRLIX. ree. 11. In the Conservative
party convention today at Berlin, Count
fchwerin-Leewitz one of the most prom
inent Agrarian members of the Reich
stag, took strong ground, against Ger
many's making concessions on .American
meats In order to eecure better tariff
rates.
"The higher duties in the new tariff,"
he said, "are especially unfavorable to
Germany, but German agriculture is prac
tically concerned about the question
whether the' German conventional tariff
will be accepted again by Americans
without something equivalent in the way
of concessions, because of the fear in
agricultural circles that the Fereral Gov
ernment might make the provisions for
the American meat Imports adopted for
the' protection of the health of our peo
ple and today more necessary than ever
the subject of commercial treaty negotia
tions. This fear I regard as unfounded,
in view of the certain information which
has be9n conveyed to me.
"Such a thing I would expect even less
from the present chancellor than from
his predecessor. He values too highly the
lnterets of our public health ami is too
lust tow ard our German livestock growers,
to do such a thing. Moreover, the
Chancellor knows too well the sentiments
of the. country and the great majority of
the Kelchntag."
TAR BLAZES, THREE KILLED
Jfen Sleeping Near Vat Engulfed.
One, Burned, Escapes.
FITTSBTJRG, Iec. 11. Entrapped in a
lake of burning tar, four men were held
fast at the MoClintoek & Irvine Com
pany's roofing plant In this city early
today and were compelled to watch the
(gradually approaching flames. Three of
them were burned to death, but the fourth
managed to extricate himself, although he
wsts seriously burned.
It is said the men were not employed at
be works, but had been sleeping there at
night. In some manner the valve of a
tar vat opened and before the sleeping
men knew their danger they were en
gulfed. Unable to free themselves, they saw the
tr flow to a boiler, where it was quickly
ignited. - Then as the fire crawled toward
them they frantically called for help. The
night watchman- was attracted by the
cries, but was powerless to aid them.
LITTLE GIRL IS MURDERED

iETROny rec. U. The murder of
Helen Brown, 13 years old, of 271 Third
avenue, waa revealed today by the find
ing of the child's half-frozen body in
"W hitman's truck yards. The child's face
and head were cut and battered and there
was evidence that she had been mis
treated. When found the girl evidently had been
dead several hours. Finger marks on her
throat Indicated that she had been choked.
Crowds gathered during the day at the
scene of the murder and there were mut-
terings and threats of lynching if the:
