Insufficient Kvldcnce From the time the police chief was culled lo the house sensational events were on tap. After a consultation between Mrs. Sales, the chief nnd I'rosrculor Roberts and Hie 1.1 and 12 years old sons of Mr. tind -Mrs. Sales warrants were issued for Salrs' arrest on the statutory charge and the delinquency charge. At Iho hearing on the statutory charge Sales was discharged because of insufficient evidence.

YANKS TACKLE BIG TASK. (Continued from page one.) CHINESE PHEASANT SEASON 10 OPEN The Chinese pheasant season opens tomorrow for Jackson county as well us the quail season, and the sports men of the city and valley were busy toduy oillag up their guns and mak ing preparations for an early start tomorrow morning. The pheasant soason lasts 10 days. Each Chinese pheasant hunter Is only allowed by law to shoot the rooster pheasants, and five pheasants Is the big limit. State Game Warden Dalley has Instructions to search all bags. He has seasoned deputies who will help him out during the remain- dor of the season. WASHINGTON, Sopt. 30. Tho bread line Is now ono of the familiar sights la Washington. This does not mean a lino of people unable to pay for food. It gathers at dinner time at the doors of scores of eating places In all parts of the city. The restaurant Is not popular these days unless it hns a line extending out on tho sidewalk and perhaps half way down the black. One of the most popular cafoterlas In the region of tho new ordnanco buildings at Sixth and I! streets, always has a lino. Men and women stand for 20 minutes oven beforo they enter the front floors, then perhaps 15 while the lino is bolng served. In the new temporary housing quarters which the government is now erecting for war clerks there will be restaurants under govern ment auspices whero food will be served at cost. ooinpliitely at home In the bewilder ing complication of ravines and ridges. Some Americans have actu ally been captured twice and each time have been retaken with tholr captors. Itcservcs Riudi In Tho headway the Americans have been making is evidently a disagree able shock to the enemy. During yosterdny men belonging to a reserve division were captured after being rushed back at top speed to meet the expected attack. Among the other troopB captured yesterday were men from the fifth guards division, which had a taste of American fighting capacity at llelleau wood. Men of another reserve division rushed from Mulhausen also were taken. . Not only was yesterday's fighting extremely cheering, but there were Indications of considerable withdraw als by the enemy. Romagne, where it was expected the Germans would stand, was reported in flames. Later It became known that the enemy had evacuated Vllosnes after having blown up the buildings. The bridge across the Meuse at that point has been destroyed. 1 doubtful if there nro many Ger mans there now, for they must real ize that they cannot hold on. Hard fighting seems to have taken place north of the Ciiinhrui-lbinuiiiuc road. In Ibis district the village of Hleburt hus been captured by the Cnniidians. In the north the Ilrilish lire work ing through Ploegsteert. It is re ported they have reached St. l?cs. It is also said Hint they lire in Os trnverne and that they have entered Waterdamehoon. WILSON FOR SUFFRAGE. (Continued from page one.) of urging upon you with solemn earn est for reasons which 1 shall state very frankly and which I shall hope will seem as conclusive to you as they seem to me. This war could not have been fought, either by the other nations engaged or by America, if it had not been for the. services of the women services ren.dered in every sphere not merely tn the fields of efforts In which we have been accustomed to see them work, but wherever men have worked 'and upon the very skirts and edges of the battle Itself. We shall not only be distrusted but shall deserve to be distrusted If wo do not enfranchise them with the fullest possible enfranchisement, as It Is now certain thnt the other great free nations will enfranchise them. We cannot isolate our' thoughts and ac tion in such a matter from the thought of (the rest of the world. We must either conform or deliberately reject what they propose and resign the leadership of liberal ' minds to others. Women Most Ioynl The women of America are too noble nnd too Intelligent and too de moted to be slackers whether we give or withhold this thing that Is mero Justice; but I know the magic it will work in their thoughts and spirits If you glVe It to them. I propose It as I would propose to admit soldiers to the suffrage, the men fighting In the field for our liberties and the liber ties of the world, were they exclud el. The task of Hie women lies at tie very heart of the war, and I know bow much stronger that heart will beat if you do this just thing and show our women that you trust them as much as you In fact and of neces sity depend upon them.
