(SptoUl Dlatwtcb to Te Journal.) 8eattfo, Wash., Jan. 16. Hitter war fare which has smoldered for weeks within the ranks of the Washington Equal Suffrage association burst forth like a volcano when the programed elec tion of officers of the new national council of women voters was accom plished Saturday at Tacoma and Mrs. Emma Smith De Voe was elected its president. Mrs. George A. Smith of Septtle, a life member of the Equal Suffrage asso ciation, although entitled to appear and speak as a delegate, was denied her con stitutional privileges of the floor and a near riot resulted when Mrs. Da Voe arbitrarily tuled against the Seattle woman and caused an adjournment of the meeting. ' . priminal proceedings against Mrs, De Voe, In Which slander will be alleged, are threatened by Mrs. Smith. The lat ter charges that she has been wantonly maligned by Mrs. De Voe. "The most corruptly organized and mendaciously managed political machine in the history Washington was broken to bits before the women who attended today's meeting at Tacoma finally adjourned," declared Mrs. Smith. "While Mrs. De Voe was elected pres ident of the National Council of Women Voters, her victory Is a barren one. Trie women who attended the meeting learned, in spite Of the fact that I was unlawfully deprived of a chance to speak, that Mrs. De Voe Is the chief manipulator In a discreditable political scheme to deliver the votes of the new ly enfranchised women of Washington to Governor M. E. Hay and for State Senator W. H. Paulhamus, when the former is a candidate for election as governor of Washington and Paulhamus becomes a candidate for United States senator." COOS LUMBERMEN WANT SHORTER DEER SEASON (Special Dlxmitch to Toe Journnl.) Marshfleld. Or., Jan. 16. The peti tion which Is being circulated by some of the sportsmen of Coos and Curry counties asking that the deer season be nade longer is receiving some oppo sition on the part of lumbermen and timber owners. The sportsmen want a longer deer season, while some of the timber owners want the season to last only 15 days, from October 15 to No vember 1. The tlmbermen take the stand that the hunters make camp fires in the woods and cause the burning ot valuable timber and therefore do not want a long season lh which this danger may exist The sportsmen hold that h camp fires of the hunters do not oause the forest fires, but that instead most of the fires are started from the donkey engines or by sparks from log ging locomotives.

Kursman, a Fifth ave nue milliner, who arrived from Paris.
