South, Former President of Kentucky Association, and Miss Marjorie Shuler of New York, on Congres- sional Board, Confident of Success Mrs. John G. South, former pres- ident of the Kentucky association, who is from Frankfort, the capital of that state, together with Miss Mar- jorie Shuler of New York City, who is a member tof the congressional committee of the national American Woman’s Suffrage association, and ‘Mrs. Elizabeth Darrow O’Neil of Far- go, the congressional chairman for the ‘North Dakota votes for women league, arrived in the capital city last evening to confer with Gov. Frazier relative to a special session of the North Dakota assembly for the rati- fication of the federal amendment. and to look over the suffrage situa- tion in the west. They expect that the federal suffrage amendment will be ratified in time for the women of the country te vote in the 1920 presidential elec- tion. The federal suffrage amendment wag passed on June 4 iby congress and already it has been ratified by 12 states, which is one-third the number necessary to complete the ‘ratifica- tion,” said Miss Schulter. “These states represent more than one-half the voting population of the country. ‘One more legislature, the Montana, is now meeting to: ratify the amend- ment. In three other states, Utah, Indiana and Nebraska, special ses- sions have been called for ratifica- tion and other governors have agreed to call special sessions. To Organize Woman Voters “With the suffrage work so nearly ended, the National American Wo- man Suffrage association is turning its attention to organizing the women of the various states into a league of women voters which will enroll in political parties, but the league itself is to remain free of political parties to educate and agitate for needed legislation. During this year it is try- ing to get better federal education laws and laws for the protection of women in industry. It has establish- ed committees on American citizen- ship, food control, protection of wo- men in industry, unification of laws relating to the civil status of women, improvement of elections, child wel- fare, social welfare and data. These committees will survey their various fields and recommend a program of legislation) to be submitted to the league at its annual meeting next winter, when the delegates will decide what shall be worked for during the following year.” One Of Six Honored Leaders Miss Shuler was one of six women invited by Vice President (Marshall and Speaker Gillette to represent the National Suffrage association when the suffrage amendment was signed in the presence of the officials of congress. RETURN OF OTIS SKINNER TONIGHT TOBE GENUINE THEATRICAL EVENT Otis Skinner whose return to Bis- marck tonight in what is perhaps his best vehicle ever, is of more than usual interest to the theater-goers, so. under the circumstances, some account of his career may possess interest. Skinner was born in Somerville, a native Boston son, in 1858. His father was a Universalist preacher, and many of his forebears were clergymen. His mother was a Bartolomew, of Puritan stock. Mr, Skinner attributes his the- atrical tastes to the fact that his par- ents moved to Somerville from a se- questered New York town shortly be- fore his brith, and were immediately entranced with the theaters of Bos- ton. It was in the days of the famous OUR SERVICE COMPRISES: Examination and question- ing to determine the cause, condition, treatment, prop- er lenses, etc., for your own particular eyes.

HOSKINS Kodak Department BISMARCK Old Boston Museum; they had a right to be entranced. ‘ Young Skinner was given a letter of introduction from the late P. T. Barnum, who was a friend of the fam- ily, to William Davidge, manager of the Philadelphia Museum. Davidge had advertised for actors and Barnum’s letter did the trick. Started at $8 a Week This was in 1878. Skinner's salary was $8 a week when he got it. He had a room in Wood street, a tiny room near the garret, for which he paid $1.25 a week. “I made it a point to pay my room rent regularly,” said Mr. Skinner today “and to do this I was frequently ob- liged to get rid of some of my belong- ings I had brought from Boston. I had brought all of my cherished books —histories of the drama, biographies of actors and actresses, copies of a all my school books. a small zinc trunk, and when rent day came around I would get out the trunk, select an armful of books and take them to a second-hand store. If it had not been for the book store I think J would have starved, “In that season I played 180 differ- ent parts. One night I was called upon to play an aristocratic banker—and I did not have a white shirt. At last I found a paper cuff I had discarded. It was fairly white in the middle, so I fastened it around my throat like a collar, and kept my coat buttoned. “I finished the season with just enough money to pay my way back home, and I left my little zinc trunk to cover my lodging bill. When I came back, to the Walnut street theater the next season, at a salary of $15 a week, which I collected regularly, I went to redeem that little zinc trunk, but the Once he got a fair start, Otis Skin- ner’s rise was steady.

Many novel features will be intro- duced at this dance tonight, among them being moonlight waltzes, con- fetti, serpentines, and several sur- prises. The Lewis & Clark orchestra, probably the best jazz combination in North Dakota, will furnish the har- mony. The dance will be held in one of the large barracks at the army post, and the floor is large enough to provide dancing for at least 500 people at one time, it is said. Red lemonade will be waiting to quench the thirst of those who grow dry and even those who are not inclined to dancing can be assured of an interesting time by mereiy watching those who are dancing and the many features of the evening. Only a little more money is needed for the fund and it is expected that the attendance tonight will make up the deficit so that the pole can be or- dered immediately, the handsome flag already bought by the women of Bis- marck unfurled to the breeze and all of Bismarck’s soldiers and _ sailors given a real warm hearted welcome home, ——— | CITY NEWS | ——<—_____________- Wing Merchant Here G.
