WOMAN'S PARTY TO
T0URTHE NATION
Hiss Mabel. Vernon, Secretary
of Organization, . Tells of
White House Picketing and
Eastern Activities.
SOUTH SIDE
, The National Woman's party, famed
for the picket which it has conducted
before tire White House, is about to
embark on a natfon-wide tour which
wil1 take the speakers of the party into
every large city of every state in the
country. This was the announcement
made by Miss Mabel Vernon, national
scctetary of the party, who is in Oma
ha today. Miss Vernon and Mrs.
Lawrence Lewis of the national exe
cutive committee of the Woman's
party, who will be the speakers to go
through the middle west fltates, arrive
in Nebraska November !, when they
will hold a meeting in Lincoln.
On November 2 they will speak in
Omaha. Miss Vernon stops here on
her way to Sioux City, where she will
spctk'at Morningside college Thurs
day morning to tell of the work done
by the picket line inwhich she has
taken an active part
"There can be no-doubt that the
picket has been effective,", said Miss
Vernon. "We have produced a situa
tion which has compelled action on
the part of the administration. On
Monday the house created a Woman
Suffrage committee, Representative
Pou, chairman of the rules committee,
tol4 me last May he would keep this
rule for a suffrage committee in his
pocket until the end of the session.
There was absolutely no chance for it
in a war session. When the measure
,was voted on the whole question dis
cussed was the picket and the commit
tee was created.
"Senator Jones of the Senate Woman
Suffrage committee - has persistently
refused by the desire of the aminis
tration to report the suffrage resolu
tion to the senate. Dudley Malone, a
staunch administration supporter, re
signed his post as collector of the port
of New York as a protest against the
unfair treatment of suffragists. Mr.
Malone did this after he saw suf
fragists mobbed and arrested for car
rying to the White House banners pe
titioning for justice to women. The
following day Senator Jones went to
the government workhouse where the
suffragists are confined as criminals
and the next day he reported the Suf
frage resolution to the senate. We
do not mind criticism as long as we
get action." ' "
While Miss Vernon and Mrs. Lewis
are touring through the middle west,
Miss Doris Stevens, an Omaha girl
and a prominent member of the na
tional executive committee of the
Woman's party, will be on a speaking
tripthrugh the middle Atlantic states
and New England. Miss Stevens was
recently arrested for picketing and
sentenced to sixty days, but was par
doned by President: Wilson after three
days spent in the. workhouse.

CHINESE ENROLL
ATCREIGHTON.DNI
Ten Medical Students From
Celestial Empire Come From
- Far East to Study
Here.
The professional departments of
Creighton university tpenyl Monday
with an attendance lower than
that of last year, due to the number
of men enlisted and drafted into" the
army and to the raising of require
ments for entry. ; The law school reg:
istered 102 students this year, com
pared with 145 of a year ago. A large
number of Creighton law men went
to Fort Snelling to'the first training
camp for officers. ' Others enlisted in
the machine gun corps of the Nebras
ka National Guard and the remainder
chose the aviation section.
This yea.- the law school has raised
its course fromJhree to four years.
The leading colleges throughout the
country are adopting this standard,
owing to the fact that the necessary
knowledge of the law cannot be in
culcated in a short three-year course.
Attendance at the Dental school
is forty less than that of last year,
which was ISO. , Here also the dif
ference in part is due to the draft and
to the raising of the course from
three to four years. On account of
this there will be no sophomore class.
: The medical and pharmacy courses
suffered least of all. The attendance
is normal.
The number of foreien-born stu
dents studying at the university was
increased by ten Chinese students,
who came from St Louis college,
Honolulu, to take advantage of the
medical course offered here. Oh Ting
Lee, Kin Che Chock and Ah Joe all
say that the fame of 0ma 'and
Creighton has, spread even to the
island down' Hpnoluluway. '
Attempts Death to Avoid ; J'v
Testimony 'Against Friends
r Enid,' Okl Sept. 26. This intro
duction of state witnesses neared a
close today in the trial of eleven al
leged draft resisters of central Okla
homa. Following the testimony of J.
C Harrod, aged father of three of the
defendants, who Friday attempted to
commit suicide, government attorneys
announced they expected to conclude
introduction of testimony today.
Harrod, weak from the loss of
blood, occupied the witness stand
throughout the morning. Toward the
close of his testimony he was asked
to tell why he wished to die.
In a voice so low that none but the
court could hear he replied.
"I'was willing to suffer, as I tried
to, rather than tell the things I knew
I would have to tell here against my
neighbors." Harrod lives in the im
mediate vicinitv of. the eleven defend-
Pants. ' 1
The old man testified to having
joined the Working Class union two
years ago. He told of the activities
of "Rube" Munson, alleged state
organizer, and declared that the real
purpose of the organization was to
rebel against the government to resist
the dratt. v

MINERS DEMAND BIG
WAGE INCREASES
' i
Twenty to Seventy Per Cent
Advance Asked by Coal
Workers in Session at
Washington.
(By AMoclatc Preaa.)
Washington, Sept 26. Immediate
wage increases of from 20 to 70 per
cent were demanded by the country's
coal miners, it was announced here
tonight, after a preliminary meeting
of operators and miners' representa
tives of the central competitive field in
Washington to discuss a general wage
readjustment.
The demands were formulated by
the miners' representatives tonight
and will be presented at a joint
meeting tomorrow. Therexis every
indication that the mine owners will
refuse flatly to meet them, first, on the
grounds that they are too high, and
second that the recent fixing of coal
prices by President Wilson will not
permit of any increases.
Serve as Nation-Wide Basis.
The increases asked, while stipu
lated for the central field, comprising
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and western
Pennsylvania, will serve as a basis tor
the entire country, and if they are
granted would have to be met by other
districts.
The miners position was presented1

America.
who called the conference. Liberal
wage increases, he declared, were
necessary to prevent men from leav
ing the mines to go into munitions
and other work which pays higher
wages. Unless wages are raised, he
said, miners will leave for higher
money elsewhere and production of
coal immediately will be cut.
The operators, aside from contend
ing that they cannot afford to pay the'
increases, declare the demands are not
Justified inasmuch as a general wage
raise was graiueu lasi npru, ana point
to an ' increase given in April, 1916,
which they say was granted with the
distinct" understanding" no more de
mands were to be made for a period
of two yearsc , . .
