Wash, Dec 24. (Special.) Activity of women as a result of universal suffrage In Washington has not been directed Immediately to the liquor question, as prophets as serted it would be. Instead. Its first mark seems to be capital punishment, Although the prediction has been made that the suffrage movement ' would send the state to prohibition within Ave years, the start has not been made. With capital punishment, the situa tion ts otherwise. The plan to abolish It is under way and appears to be sup ported by strong sentiment. An Instance Is found In the Ludo vltch murder esse, now on trial before Judge Wilson K. Gay In the Superior Court. No less than 1 Jurors have been excused because opposed on prin ciple to th. extreme penalty. The case gives evidence of being an ordinary brutal murder. K. Ludovltch was a prisoner in the city stockade. The charge against him is that in last November be brained Mathlas Rude, a guard, with a mattock. But the 26 talesmen, when questioned one after another, declared that they could not conscientiously give a verdict to hang. With this as an Index to public opinion, coupled with the increasing difficulty of courts all over Washing ton to secure juries In murder trials, Mrs. Katherlne Stlrtan. of this city, has begun to- circulate petitions for the abolishment of capital punishment. They are directed to Governor Hay and members of tbe Legislature, and they will be used In support of effort to pass a bill repealing the law. Such a measure will be introduced by Rep resentative Goes, a Seattle newspaper man. who has been elected to his first erm In the House. J Mrs. Stlrtan brands the law as in humana relic of the dark ages. She advances the usual argument that if men are dangerous through mur derous Impulses they should be placed In detention, where they may be con trolled. "This," she contends, "is suf ficient for the protection of civiliza tion. Murder by law is on a plane no higher than murder through sud den passion. Both are against nature's law. The mysterious springs of life are beyond human beings, and we have no right arbitrarily to meddle with that which has been created by a higher power. I find the sentiment against capital punishment far more general than the public realizes, and I believe the Legislature will repeal the law." Women have their eyes on the forth coming conventions to be held in. Ta- coma January 14, which, occasion will be of two-fold interest to the voters of Washington. There will Ae two conventions a "National" convention comprising delegates for the women voters of Washington, Colorado, Wyo ming and Utah, and also a state con vention. The leaders In the movement say that the representatives from the four states have the backing of 270, 000 women voters. From the National standpoint, the organization will prob ably be called the National Council of Women Voters. One of the leading eligibles for president Is Mrs. Emma Smith DeVoe, of Seattle, president of the Washington Equal Suffrage Asso ciation. The state convention will be composed of delegates from the various suffrage clubs throughout the state. Out of 63 applicants for registration clerk In the City Controller's office, 48 were successful: and of the 48 ten were women. The names of all of them were placed on the eligible list of 71 submitted to Controller BothwelL All of these clerks are employed in checking the petition for the recall of Mayor Gill, which has Just been filed with the Controller, and also will be retained for the registration to begin January 3 for the municipal primary. The ten women who "have passed their first civil service examination in Se attle are Mrs. Sylvia Hunsiker, Miss Frances Malone, Mrs. Ruth. D&bnjten, Mrs. Alice Jenkins, Mrs. Josephine Stuff, Miss Emma Hathaway, Mrs. Mary Wal, Miss Ethel G. Weaver, Mrs. Ora MacDonald and Miss Florence J. Blackmore. On the petition for the recall of Mayor Gill is a total of 11,202 names, of which 631 are those of women. The number of names necessary, based on the election, was 8670, so that there is a surplasage of 2632 names. At the election the total vote cast was 33,398, and of that number Gill received 17,- 817. Under the charter the Controller is required to check the petition with in ten days, and certify his findings to tbe Council. The recall election must be held within 40 days and not less than SO days from the date of the report of the Controller to the Coun cil that sufficient names have been signed. It is assumed that the Con troller's report will be dated December 30, and that the Council will set the date of the recall election 40 days afterward, or February '9, 13 days be fore the municipal primary election of February 21. - Thus the town Is full of. political unrest. The time for filing petitions for nomination to the" City Council will expire January 7. The lists were opened December 8, and up to date more than 40 aspirants have paid the necessary filing fee of 330 to' get thela names before the voters.
