The "outrage on suffragists In Wash ington" figured prominently In the arguments of the suffrage supporters. "Not one man who struck a woman in that parade, not one man who spoke Indecently to the women would vote for woman suffrage," was one of Dr. Shaw's remarks. She declared that all the suffraglBts ask Is the right to share In the vote of the country. While Mrs. A. J. George was speak ing against the resolution there was laughter from the suffragists when she declared that woman's place is In the home. Turning to the committee she said: "Sisters, nearly 80 times when I have used the words 'home' and 'wom an' In meetings like this the suffra gists have laughed." She declared that she formerly had believed in suffrage but had changed her views when she saw how "suf fraglsts feel who speak of the home." denly at the King and fired one shot from a seven-chambered revolver. The tragedy caused Intense excitement. SchlniiB was seized immediately and overpowered. The wounded King was lifted Into a carriage, which was hurried to the hospital. He was still breathing when placed In the carriage, but died before reaching the hospital. Prince Nicholas, the King's third son, and other officers hurried to the hospital. On his arrival Prince Nicho las summoned the officers and, speak ing in a voice choked with sobs, said: "It is my deep grief to have to an nounce to you the death of your bo loved King and to invite you to swear fidelity to your new sovereign. King Constantino." Crown Trince Constantine, who sue coeds King George, at present is at Junlna. The nssnsRin of the King, on being arrested, refused to explain his motive for the crime. He declared that his name was Aleka Shinas and, In reply to an officer, who asked him whether he had no pity for his country, an nounced that he was against govern ment. Shlnns maintained a perfectly impas sive demeanor. Precautions were taken at once throughout the city and perfect order is being maintained. The King fell Into the arms of his aide when shot. Two soldiers ran upon hearing the firing, and helped to support him. He was placed in a car riage and efforts were made to stop the bleeding, but he breathed his last on the way to the hospital nearby.

In spite of the eloquent ar guments of the French Premier, Aris- tide Brland, embodied in what Is pro nounced the finest speech of his ca reer, the senate overthrew the govern ment on the question of proportional representation. After the Benate, by a vote of 161 to 12S, had adopted the amendment In troduced by Senator Paul L. Feytral, a Republican-Liberal, which proposed that the majority should receive the whole of the representation, the min isters immediately withdrew and held a brief consultation. They then pro ceeded to the Elysee palace and hand ed their resignations to President Poincare. The President accepted the resignations, but requested the minis ters to continue to transact business until their successors had been found. A cabinet crista In the present situa tion in Europe Is considered bad enough, but It is pointed out that the crisis precipitated by the senate Is graver still, for it is a crisis not of the ministry only, but of tho French parliamentary regime, and it is added that any ministry falling to place pro portional representation at the head of the programme Immediately would be turned out by the chamber. The only solution seemingly open is for President Poincare to dissolve the chamber, but as an election would be made on the question of proportional representation, the new chamber would be Just as much at odds with the senate as ever. Bryan Man Dies Unshorn. BAKER, Ore. Even though Bryan's man was elected and Bryan is his right-hand man it did not suffice and Edward Flenners died here without a hair cut. Flenners was a great ad mirer of the Commoner and when Bryan was defeated for president, the first time, Flenners declared he would not have his hair cut until his favorite was elected president. His locks grew to below his shoulders and despite his age of over 60 years, it was Jet black. Flenners died at St. Elizabeth's Hos pital from liver trouble and had been a county charge during the Winter. Thirty Battle With Knives. MINNEAPOLIS. Battling with knives and bludgeons, more than 30 men, divided into antagonistic groups of railroad workers and citizens, clashed on the outskirts of Cologne, Minn. Several of them were left cut and bleeding on the battlefield and three, one of them fatally cut, were brought by special train to a hospital here. According to James Harvey, one of the wounded men, the railroad men received their pay and went to Co logne to spend it. There were several brushes between townsmen and rail roaders, when the latter were attacked from the rear.

Reports That Officials Expressed Opinions As to Friedmann's Success Denied. Washington. The Public Health Service, through Surgeom-Ceneral Blue, issued its first statement here relative to the Government investiga tion of Dr. F. F. Frl dmann'e alleged! tuberculosis cure. " The 'statement, which emphasizes, the- -Government's policy to proceed cautiously, is as fol lows: . ' "On arch-fl the Secretary of the Treasury, on the recommendation ofj the Surgeon-General of the Public j Health Service, caused a board of! medical officers to be detailed to make i a thorough investigation of Dr. Fried-1 mann s alleged cure for tuberculosis. "TheBe officers proceeded immedi ately to New York and arranged with Dr. Friedrnann for demonstrations of his remedy upon -persons suffering from tuberculosis. These demonstra tions are being carried on in New York hospitals and will be continued until sufficient information has been obtained for the forming of an opinion as to the merits of the treatment. Dr. Friedrnann has submitted to the board a culture of the bacteria, 1 which he states is used in his method , of treatment. In addition to the ob-! servation of persons under treatment j by Dr. Friedrnann, the board of offi cers will make experiments to ascer-: tain whether this culture is, as Dr.; Friedrnann claims, harmless to warm-1 blooded animals. I "Considerable time will necessarily : be required to carry out the investi gation, four the work will be carried ; out as rapidly as possible. j "In the meantime the public is in formed of the inadvisability in the great majority of cases of traveling) long distances in the hope of receiv-! ing treatment, as those selected for demonstration constitute only a small ; proportion of applicants. Certain statements purporting toi be expressions of the opinion of the board of officers of the Public Health Service bearing on the investigation have appeared in newspapers. These : officers have expressed no opinion and ' will not be in position to do so until ! the work has advanced sufficiently to' warrant some knowledge in regard to ! Dr. Friedmann's treatment." SIXTY OR MORE DEAD IN EASTERN CYCLONE'S WAKE Chicago. More than 60 persons are reported killed and hundreds are in Jured, some of them seriously, toy a storm, of tornado intensity which raged over Central, Western and Southern and parts of Eastern states Saturday. Property damage will run well Into the millions. Definite information has been re ceived accounting for more than 40 persons dead, with reports from points temporarily cut off from wire com munication by the storm adding hour ly to the list. Reports from Alabama show the loss of life was heaviest in that state, the number of dead there being al ready placed at 28. Two are dead In Indiana, two in Tennessee, three in Ohio, two in New York, one in Michigan and two in Louisville. The greatest loss of life is reported from Lower Peach Tree, Ala., where a cyclone which struck that place de molished the town and killed 27 per sons. Seventeen of the dead are white persons. Thirtyjtwo were hurt, some fatally, by the twister, which did prop erty damage estimated at $150,000 and then swept on to Fulton, Ala., where 50 persons were Injured, but none killed. The storm swept with great fury over a dozen states, left in its wake a long train of death. At Poplar Bluff, Mo., five persons were killed and 50 injured in the crash of the falling buildings, while at Hoxie, Ark., one was killed and 63 persons injured and the town virtually wiped out. A big hotel in the course of construction was blown down and the roof was thrown on another building, crushing it and injuring a dozen occupants. Eight-Hour Day Bill Vetoed. Reno, Nev. After pursuing a rocky pathway through the legislature, a bill having a maximum of eight hours a day labor for women was vetoed by Governor Oddie. The veto was sus tained in the senate. Although ex pressing himself as in sympathy with the object of the act, Governor Oddie said in his veto message that an eight hour day for women in this state was not practicable and would prove more injurious than beneficial to women wage-earners. The overworking of women, he said, was a condition not existing in Nevada as in other states. Miss Pankhurst Is Free. London. Sylvia Pankhurst, the mil itant suffragette, won her liberty from Holloway Prison by a "hunger strike." Further confinement would have en dangered her life. Miss Pankhurst, daughter of Mrs. Erwmaline Pank hurst, leader of the militants, was sen tenced February 18 to two months' imprisonment for engaging in a window-smashing campaign. She went on a hunger strike and the authorities pried open her mouth with a steel gag and fed her through a tube. Apaches to Be Set Free. Albuquerque, N. M.
