In Chile, it was pointed out, the church is in favor of full suffrage for the wome Dur- ng the past year, partly because of the political upsets of the country, women have gained their greatest triumphs in progressive legislation, the conference was told.

The women of Mexico, however, are in a difficult position, Miss Torres said, due to an error which nobody could have detected at the time When the recent presidential election ted, she said, the women'’s organ- tzatlon drew up a list of pledges and took them to all the candidates. They met with indifferent success until they approached de la Huerta, who un. qualifiedly indorsed every one and promised sincerely to work for more liberal legislation for women. Consequently in every state of Mexico the women's clubs were in- structed to work for de la Huerta Almost before they knew it the de la Huerta revolution had started and the women found themselves prac- | tically in the position of armed rebels against the established government.

Property Rights Discussed. The forenoon session today was de- voted to discussion of the property rights of married women in the vari- ous nations. It was brought out that most of the Latin republics had adopt. ed the body of the Napoleonic code as their fundamental law, and that this in turn was based upon the Ro- man law. In most countries, delegates stated, women did not retain property rights after marriage unless a contract ex plicitly defining their rights had been drawn up and signed before the cere. mony. Such a contract fully protects the wife but, the delegates said, it is very rarely that a woman dares be so distrustful of her future husband as to demand that he sign away his | rights In Chile, it was explained, the law pparently protects women except for a peculiar catch. The marriage cere- mony contains the word “obey.” The law does not provide for divorce. Hence a woman might a greut | some man | | one seen violating the dry law. the ! THE EVENING LQUIR ODORNAD ORY LA EVDENGE Buyer, Seller Equally Guilty by indiana Measure Now in Force. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 80. Armed with added’authority contain- ed in a “bone dry" law passed by the 1925 Legislature, Federal and local officials believe Indiana now can be | made extra dry. The new law became | effective Tuesday. “The bone dry” law is a codifica- tion of many old laws relating to pro hibition enforcement, but penalties provided in former Jaws are increased and enforcement officers given more latitude in making arrests and in pre- | senting testimony. One of the principal features is that the purchaser of liquor is held equally as guilty as the vendor. Imprison- ment of 30 days to 6 months and a fine of from $100 to $500 may be im- posed upon a person who purchases intoxicating liquor. The same penal ties may be inflicted for possession of intoxicating liquor or for carrying liquor on the person. The selling or giving away of liquor also merits the same penaities. reli Is Evidence, The work of enforcement agents is facilitated by the provision that the| smell of liguor may be used as prima fatle evidence of the operation of a blind tiger. Heretofore it has been necessary to produce fluid liquor as evidence and agents say this has been difficult because the law violators in many instanc have been able to de- stroy the intoxicants, Authority is given conductors on common _carriers and persons in charge of public places to arrest any LYNCHBURG HILLS COVERED BY SNOW Killing Frost Reported in West.

Fifteen Nebraska towns reported freezing temperatures and three kill- ing frosts last night, causing fears for tender vegetation, although no report of extensive orchard or early crop damage had been received today. Kansas and Missourli were not so fortunate, although the southwest Missouri strawberry crop. esti ed worth $3,000,000, was only slightly damaged. In the vicinity of Salina, Kans., a heavy, dry frost did tremendous dam age to fruit. The apple and cherry loss would be 75 per cent, stated W F.

Nothing ever cam of her deflance of the word ‘“obey she said. Mrs. Ella M.
