"It Is not coming all at once, but tho history of progress shows that these things do come when thoy onco get a good start. "I do not think that suffrage will cure all evils, but it will do good. Its greatest effect will be to Influence the home keeping side of government. It will im prove economic conditions in a largo sense, making It possible to secure purer food and more sanitary conditions. Tho women are more Interested In these things than the men, and they should haveNi hand In the voting. I do not sco apy good reason why any woman of In- telllgenan and property should not have equal rights with man." Dr. Claxton is commissioner of the bu reau of education at Washington. The bureau has been In existence for about fifty years and has done much toward Improving methods of education. Special attention Is paid by the bureau to give tho rural schools what they deserve, as more than W per cent of the children of the I'nltcd States live In the country. Employed In tho bureau are experts in all branches of education. They travel at homo and abroad tq secure data and Information, all of which Is used to batter tho Kchools in this country. Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States com missioner of education, will be the guest of the University club at luncheon this noon, at which tlmo ho will sprak on some phase of the subject of education. Dr. Claxton Is a graduate of Johns Hopkins university and the Univer sity of Tennessee nnd hua studied In dif ferent European countries, and now holds notable positions In tho cducatlonul world. Tho luncheon will be for members only. Weakening under the relentless fire of questions of opposing counsel, C. W. Hull, head of the C. V. Hull company, who has been seeking to annul the divorce de cree and $91,000 alimony contract of I1I1 former wife, now the wife of William R. McKeen, Jr., head of the McICecn Motor Car company, made overtures of peace Monday afternoon. McKeen, Hull and attorneys on both sides spent most of today dickering over terms of settlement. The negotiations are being carried on In secret, ana It was Im possible for outside parties to learn what proposal were being made and how far apart the negotiators were. Revelations of the contents of deposi tions v. l.lcli have come during tho last few days have had much to do with bringing the Hull side to the point of proposing compromise. Tho McKeen side always has been ready to talk settlement. When both sides several months ago be gan taking depositions of witnesses In the case it became apparent that each de sired to "feel out" tho other and deter mine in advance of actual trial Just how strong the other side was. Only with this purpose could many of the deposi tions have been taken. Depositions can be used in a trial only when the wit nesses themselves cannot be produced. In the Hull-McKeen case depositions of Hull and several other persona who would be certain to be In the city if the case should come to trial have been taken. Compromise Desirable. The revelations of depositions on both sides, on both direct and cross-examtna- Ltlons, have been sufficient to make com promise appear more and more desirable to both Hull and tho McKeens. An additional reason for Hull's disposi tion to compromise and put an enu to sensational disclosures is that ho is con templating matrimony. This lias been', ah open secret for months. Borne sensational' depositions, whether they are truo or not, have brought Into the case names of half a dozen or more prominent and wealthy citizens. Whether the skeletons In tho closets of these are, genuine skeletons or merely hove been created by imaginative deponents, those persons are not anxious to have them exhibited in open court. It Is reported thnt persons who have experienced fears h(.e urged Mr. Hull to give up the flght to break the contract to pay his former wife $31,000 alimony, The publicity bureau and committees In chargo of the teachers' convention have been greatly perturbed by a telegraphic report from Lincoln, published in nn af ternoon paper, announcing that W. J. Bryan would go direct from Lincoln to his "winter home In Florida. Bryan will address the teachers at the Auditorium Thursday night as was announced several months ago.
