THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1912. SUFFRAGE MOVE ANSWERED! State Charities Members to Hear Prominent Men Ifemben of Citizens' Union Are Sot Anxious About "Women. MEH EXPRESS THEMSELVES While Imw Fiiw the Saffraslsts, the General Feellmc to Am!t Admitting Woasra te the Vaiaa. Some of t)i member of the Citizens' unioa are somewhat taken aback by the decision of the Woman Suffrage society to Join trie union's ranks. "We are asked to consider all sorts of subjects from suffrage to aeroplanes and, while we are friendly to all of them to a certain extent, we haven't time to con sider them," said Ernest Sweet, one of tlte members of the executive committee of the union. "While-1 am friendly to the women, I am opposed to adding any thing to the Interest In hand." E. -V Benson said that he must have time to digest the move of the women to join. the CiUiens' union before giving an opinion. ' ..'""' C. J. Smyth of the executive committee said that while he always looked with favor to the women's participation In anything, because they aiwaya work for the best, he could not give an opinion. W, F. Baxter gave It as his opinion that the union would not take a stand on the woman suffrage question. He said that there was no objection to assistance from any quarter, and the wont citisen In the literal sense probably meant women as well aa men. ' Lysle L Abbott expressed his opinion that the suffragists bou.a be admitted to the union. "A woman is as much a cltl sen as a man," said Mr. Abbott, "and I think there could be no objection made te having the co-ope rat,on of tne ladies. " "That the Cittxens' union wishes toe support of the wjmen of Omaha is indi cated by a resolution which was adopd at the last meeting of the executive com mlttee as follows," says Kalph Sunder land: " The Cltlseos' union recognises the in fluence of the good women of this city as one of the greatest potent amies, in the cause of civic reform, as well a In every beneflclent cause, and cordially in vites their co-opera Lion to tae sad that we and they may ail have mora and greater reason to be proud of our city and Its Institutions.' "As to whether women are eligible to membership in the Ut.sene' union, I do not recall whether the constitution covers the point ot not. It Is a question upon which I would express no individual opinion, and do not know the feelings of the other membeia of the executive committee, "The purpose of our organisation Is to secure good government for Omaha, and I believe the women will iieip heartily n such manner aa they may uream best." The 'Palimpsest club, one ot the men's organisations, asked by the Suffrage so ciety to take a stand for or against suf frage, replied through plenum iosm that the club was a purely social organ Isatlon. Die state conference of the Associate.! Charities will open in tmaha at the Boyd theater Sunday afternoon, January 2S, to continue until January 3a. alias fonts, secretary ot the local charities, has sent 800 letters to Nebraskans In terested In charitable work, and many of them have signified their Intention to attend the convention. Rev. Walter T. Sumner, superintendent of city missions of Chicago and dean ot the cathedral, will deliver the first ad dress at the Boyd. He will discuss "The Child In Industry The Nation's Mortgage on Futurity." The remainder ; of the meetings will' be held in the assembly :-oom of the Rome hotel. Speakers with a national reputation as charity workers will attend this confer ence and participate In the program. J. M. Hanson of the charity organisation of Youngstown. Or., will be one of the speak era. - J. C. Lathrop of the Illinois Society for Mental Hygiene of Chicago Is also on the program. Hotels and Autos to Be Regulated Assistant City Attorney Brome will begin drafting an ordinance today im regulate hotels and lodging houses In the city, according to instructions from the city council. This ordinance will not provide for a license or permit, but will require all proprietors ot such places to pay an annual occupation tax. What the amount of the tax will be Mr. Brome has not decided. He will draft it to Include all hotels and lodging houses in the city and will so word It that no place will be put out of business unless conditions are such as to warrant closing the place. air. Brome believes a graduated Income lax would be preferable to a fixed tax, but thinks an ordinance could not be drafted to effectively cover and enforce this idea. Some of the houses do not keep books, and hence any tax on the volume of business transacted by them would be tax on an estimated Income. Another ordinance Is being drafted by Mr. Brome designed to abate the nuisance of noisy automobiles by compelling chauf feurs to keep the muffler "cut In." Many complaints have been made that auto drivers do not utilise their mufflers and are nuisances not only to the sick, who suffer from the noise of traffic, but also the more sensitive citlsens who enjoy good health. Mrs, Nash Offers to Pay . Coal Bills for the visiting Nurses According to Mrs. Adams, " superin tendent ot the totting Nurse association, there have been more calls on the asso ciation this winter for food, fuel and clothing than In any winter for more than fifteen years. (Sickness has, how ever,, not been greater than In former years, although more attention has been called to the consumptives of the com munity and more aid given them. One of the three nurses employed by the as sociation gives her time wholly to the care of tuberculosis patients. The association has received a bo Sanaa from Mrs. E. W. Nash, who said that she was willing te pay for all orders of coal which the association wished to send. She said that H was sometimes hard for her to keep warm In her own home and would like to feel that she was aid ing someone else to keep warm.

HORSE PLAY IN CBONK CASE "Playing horse" was charged against attorneya In the Cronk divorce rehearing by Judge A. C. Troup ot the equity divi sion - of the district court. The case dragged Us weary length along and the testimony was merely a rehash of the details of the trouble of the Cranks, which have been aired and realred time after time.

Blabaugh, counsel for Mrs. Cronk, Insisted upon encumber ing the record with needless questions, objections, arguments and side remarks directed at each other.

Then It would criticise the lawyers for making useless objections snd side .remarks.
