WOMEN TO PRESS
ILLINOIS VICTORY
Springfield, 111., June 16— President
Wilson, former Presidents Taft and
Roosevelt and the governor of each
state where equal suffrage prevails
have been invited by telegraph to be
present at a women’s jubilee, to be
held here Friday night to celebrate
the passage of the bill yesterday
granting limited suffrage to the women
of flinois.
The women are going ahead with
their plans for further enfranchise
ment. It was announced today. A con
stitutional convention is one of these
and a number of schools of instruc
tion is another. The constitutional
convention, it is expected, would en
franchise women so that they might
vote on every proposition now decided
by the ballots of the men. The schools
of instruction—of which Chicago will
have several—will hold courses in
citizenship as well as practical lessons
in voting by hand-marked ballots ahd
by machine.
Get Limited Rights.
By the bill adopted yesterday women
may vote for all officers which are not
mentioned in the constitution of Illi
nois. That is. they may vote for presi
dential electors, mayors, aldermen,
municipal court judges and minor local
officers. They may vote for assesors
and members of the board of review.
Trey may not vote for governor, lieu
tenant governor, other state officers,
members of the legislature, county or
district judges, congressmen or Uni
te 1 States senators.
The bill gives as large a measure
of suffrage to women as the constitu
tion permits the legislature to grant.
Wornen cannot obtain complete suffrage
in this state without a constitutional
amendment or a constitutional con
vention.
The total male vote of the state is
approximately l,200,00t) and the en
franchisement of the women practical
ly will double it.
It will be necessary to provide sep •
arate ballot boxes for the women and
a readjustment of present election
machinery must he made.
AMERICAN YACHT IS
RELEASED BY JAPS
Washington. June 16—The American
Yacht Columbia seized by the Japanese
authorities for unluwful entery in the
closed port of Nagahama, has been re
leased and what threatened to be an
international incident has dissappeared.
The news of the yacht’s release came
to the Japanese embassy today in a
cablegram from Tokio.

proached the entrance of the harbor at
Nagahama she was met by the port au
thorities and warned against entry.
The vessel, however, steamed up to a
warf and proceeded to repair.
Although not so stated in the dis
patch, it is presumed that the Japanese
authorities satisfied themselves either
that these repairs were urgent or that
there w’as no intent of violating the
law.

RUSSIAN CABINET IS
AT OUTS WITH DUMA
Ministers Resent Alleged In
sult But Refuse to Dis
solve Body.
St. Petersburg, June 16.—A com
plete breach has opened between the
Russian government and the duma.
Members of the cabinet declared to
day that neither the ministers nor the
heads of departments will appear in
the duma again until conditions are
established under which representa
tive^ of the government will be free
from insult.
The direct cause of this decision
was a remark made by M., Markoff, a
reactionary member, during the de
bates on the ■ estimates. While the
minister of finance was speaking
Markoff cried out, “Stealing cannot be
tolerated." He added that his remark
applied not only to the minister of
finance, but to all of the various de
partments of state.
The miinsters and officers present
in the house thereupon arose from
their seats and left in a body.
Later at a meeting of the cabinet
the minister of the interior spoke
strongly in favor of the dissolution of
the duma. He was. outvoted, most of
the ministers arguing that the con
flicts between the cabinet and duma
were personal rather than political.
Many of the ministers expressed the
opinion that the quarrel would prove
only temporary.
C0URT~READY*F0R
FINISHING TOUCH
TO RATE DECISION
Washington, June 16.—Finishing
touches to the supreme court's decision
in the railroad rate cases from Mis
souri, Arkansas, Oregon and West Vir
ginia are believed to have been added
today in secret conference. The deci
sions with these in the other 49 cases
before the court are expected to be
announced Monday.
Justice Hughes is picked by most
lawyers familiar with the court pro
cedure as certain to announce the con
clusion of the court, as he did in the
Minnesota rate cases last Monday. In
doing so he will review the opinion of
Judge Smith McPherson, of the West
ern Missouri circuit court.
By a coincidence Judge McPherson
in that opinioh commented on the
“moral courage of Justice Hughes,”
then governor of New York, for veto
ing a 2-cent passenger bill. Judge Mc
Pherson held the Missouri maximum
freight rate and the 2-cent passenger
law confiscated the property of the
railroads and enjoined their enforce
ment.
"The relations of a governor to pro
posed legislation and those of a court
to legislation consummated,” held
Judge McPherson, "are entirely dif
ferent.”
McPherson May Be Reversed.
The apportionment of values and ex
penses of the railroads on the revenue
basis as done in the Missouri cases by
Judge McPherson, was disapproved in
the Minesota cases. Those errors. Jus
tice Hughes said, were not sufficient
to change a return of 3.5 per cent into
a remunerative rate.
In the Missouri cases. Judge Mc
Pherson held that the return from the
freight rates would result in a deficit
on the Hannibal & St. Louis and the
Burlington, and a return not exceed
ing 2 per cent on the other 16 roads
concerned. The returns from the 2
cent passenger law, according to the
judge, would show profit on the Rock
Island, St. Louis & Hannibal, Kansas
Citv, Clinton & Springfield and the
Great Western; a profit of from 3 to
4 per cent on the St. Louis & San
Francisco, 4 and 5 per cent on the
Santa Fe. a fraction over 2 per cent
on the Kansas City Southern and be
tween 3 and 4 per cent on the Bur
lington.
In view of that finding many believe
the supreme}, court will first consider
whether errors in valuation and appor
tionment have been sufficient in the
Missouri case to convert a deficit or
low return into a reasonable return.
Many think the court may find the
laws valid as to certain roads and in
valid as to others.

DUE HOMAGE PAID
SUFFRAGE MARTYR
BY BRITISH WOMEN
London, June 16.—Suffragets, mili
tant as well as nonmilitant, came from
all parts of Eiigland today for the
funeral of Emily Wilding Davison,
who met her death while interfering
■with the king’s horse in the derby on
June 4.
A special train brought the body of
the woman suffrage “martyr” from
Epsom to Victoria station, where a
procession of 6,000 women was waiting
to escort It across the city through the
principal streets to St. George’s
church, Bloomsbury, where the serv
ices were held.
Crowds gathered early In the morn
ing in the vicinity of the militant
suffraget ' headquarters, where the
blinds were down and a huge banner
hung at half mast. Many detachments
of women arrived from the provinces
to participate In the parade. They
were dressed in white with purple
sashes. They wore black bands round
their arms and carried boquets and
wreaths of white flowers. Twenty
brass bands furnished the music for
the procession.
There was a great display of ban
ners, bearing such legends as “Fight
on! God will give the victory,” or
“Unconquerable and not afraid.”
“Suff’* Guard of Honor.
The train bearing the Coffin left the
Epsom station soon after 11 o’clock.
The coffin was covered with a purple
pall and was accompanied to London
by Miss Davison’s brother and a suf
fraget guard of honor.
The program arranged last night
was for the funeral precession to pass
through the "main Streets of London
between Victoria station and Blooms
bury. This morning the officials of
Scotland Yard suggested that the
women should parade through the
quieter side streets. The suffraget
leaders became highly indignant and
anounced they would pay no attention
to the police.
The possibilities of a collision thus
loomed large.
March to Dirge Strains.
The funeral procession started from
Victoria station at 2 o’clock. The cof
fin covered with flowers was In an
open hearse drawn by four black
horses. The bands played dirges while
the members of the various women’s
societies fell into line behind the
hearse, each group headed by its ban
ner and all wearing mourning emblems.
Enormous crowds surrounded the sta
tion, making progress difficult.
The parade was divided into 11 sec
tions. The suffragets mached in fours,
all carrying flowers.
The coffin was In the middle of the
procession and the , clergy of St.
George's church, Bloomsbury, marched
at the head. The rector of the church,
Dr. Baumgarten, had Issued a state
ment that he was not a sympathizer
with the women’s militant tactics.
No Trouble Experienced.
With the exception of Mrs. Emme
line Pankhurst, who was rearrested to
day, and “General" Mrs. Flora Drum
mond, who Is ill, all the leaders of the
militant organization occupied promi
nent places in the procession.
Owing to the dense throng of spec
tators /the funeral procession moved
very slowly. A young woman at the
head, dressed entirely In white, car
ried a cross aloft. The bands played
the "Dead March.”
There was some slight booing here
and there, but the crowds were for the
most part orderly and sympathetic.
A deal of confusion and commotion
was caused by the report that the po
lice would compel the paraders to
proceed through secluded streets.
There was no serious trouble, how
ever.

ing and currency committees, respec

the main features of the currency bill
they have been drafting for the last

ever, will not go Into detail in his cur
rency message, preferring to back the
Owen-Glass bill as an expression of

ment will be along the line of a letter

country currency legislation was nec
essary during the present session of
congress, so that "any attempt to
create artificial disturbances after the
tariff shall have become law, may bo

will make It possible for men, big and
little, to take care of themselves In
business.”

and it is' n<5t known whether the presi
dent will read It to congress as he did
the tariff message or send It to both
houses, as was the custom before he

NOT DANGEROUS TO
STOP HEART ACTION
—
Wizard Carrel Says Circulation
May Be Halted For Period
of Ten Minutes.
Paris, June 16.—Surgical research
has proved that operations in the
thoracic cavity can be performed aa
easily as in the abdomen, according
to Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research, New
York. _ . ...
In a lecture at the Beaujon hospital
In Paris, the Nobel prize winner de
clared that experiments on animals had
demonstrated the heart to be an organ
of great resistance and that it does not
suffer harm if the circulation is inter
rupted for five or even 10 minutes.
The brain, however, said Dr. Carrel, is
more delicate and may not be inter
rupted for more than three or four
minutes, which nevertheless gives
time for the accomplishment of much
surgical work.

hoped, but expected the Senate would
ratify the new arbitration treaties al
ready signed with Great Britain and
other countries despite the opposition
against him No date for the signing
of the Japanese renewal has been
determined.
Bryan Is Hopeful.
The senatorial opposition which Sec
retary Bryan Is hopeful of overcoming
was originally voiced by Senator Cham
berlain, who Insisted that in renewing
a treaty with Great Britain, specific
representation be made to remove tha
Panama canal tolls controversy from
the field of arbitration. The question
of arbitrating the issue with Japan over
the California alien land law also ha*
been a subject of discussion among
senators opposed to renewing that
arbitration treaty.
President Wilson has had frequent
conferences over the arbitration with
Senators at the White House and at the
capltol. Members of the foreign rela
tions committee likewise have been
frequent callers at Secretary Bryan’*
office. Mr. Bryan today would not say
