Washington, March 9.. Charges of corruption were made tonight by leaders of tile National Woman's party and Frank Barrow, repre sentative of thc national republican senatorial committee, against the forces opposing suffrage in the , West Virginia legislature. While State Senator Block has been speeded, across the country from California, to save the day for ratification, 'opponents of the amendment have brought to life a member of the legislature, Senator Archibald Montgomery, who moved frm West Virginia to Illinois some time ago and has not been conV sidered a member of the legislature.

"Guy's tools and his s'soup,' " the detectives replied. 1 Without a word she flammed the door. 1 Asi.de from the large quantity of dynamite sticks, the cache yielded five pint bottles of ;nitro-glycerine known as "soup" among cracksmen, a complete set of safe cracking tools, a time cl5ck, two heavy revolvers, fuses and blue canvas "swag" bags, various disguises and odd suits of clothing. , Eight men (besides Wads worth are in custody and a ninth is being sought. , Rise in Price of Coal Hinted at by Operators New York, March 9.
