SUFFRAGISTS HAVE THREE-SIDED DEBATE Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Brown and Miss Olay Discuss State and Federal Plans of Attack. BIG OONVENTION OPENS Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 6.—A de- bate on the question of whether the National American Woman Sutfrage association should drop its work for state amendments and concentrate its efforts on a federal amendment was a feature of the opening session of the association’s annual convention here today. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper of New York, as leader of the “federal amend- ment” forces, argued in the affirma- tive, while Miss Laura Clay of Lex- ington, Ky., argued in favor of con- fining the fight to individual states; a third debater, Mrs. Raymond Brown of New York, took a middle ground in favar of both federal and state v ork Mrs. Harper declared that the as- sociation should concentrate on. the Susan B. Anthony fedecal amendment amd_the work in the individual statcs be discontinued. ¥ . “We¢ have now #Hbtained’ enough ewual suffrage states 0 make our reasure. a national political issue,” Mrs. Harper said, “to force it en- dorsement by the plattorm of all five of the parties; to persuade a pr esiden- tial candidate to declarc for the fed- cral amendment which his party was too boss-ridden to favor; to compel the president of the United States to reverse his own attitude completely and defy the platform on which he was elected, and to wrest from a re- luctant congress a vote in both houses and to scare it so badly that it has resorted to every subterfuge known in order not to put itself on record again before election, g “Have_wé'not now reached a point where we, can stop thes¢ minor at- tacks on our opponents’ right and feft wings and march our forces SUPER-ZEPPELINS T0 GROSS ATLANTIC Giant Dirigibles Being Built to straight up to the congressional| (Oarry Mail from Germany fiachy oo g g Sy o e 0 United States.

Epstein said the Zeppelinl had been christened “Amerika” and “Deutsch- land.” They can make the aerial voy- age between Berlin and New York in seventy-two hours, he said. “They are so constructed,” said Ep- stein, “that they can rise higher than any . aeroplane and thus escape hos- tile aviators, They also can descend to the water and:travel thete under lation may the ultimate object be attained, she said. 5 iur etiunl aulfr{ud as “the llnuflt political issue before the pub- lic,” Mrs. n:voh'(:h alluded to the state campaigni ) e been fought and won, resulting in a growing num- of men being elected to congress the votes of women., . * t group of states was o e s and o0 the fedsral W into the immed#u tional politics,” Mrs. ‘; s mr‘rbhfno 0 be passed before ) llk“«bu'::o passed | ' houses of congress, however, fight only just begun, Not F "‘:'m be enfranchised until g‘ ratified by three-fourths of all states. ‘This means that it is the utmost importance to en our state organizations.

OMAHA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, The Congress of British Labor Declares for Protection Principle Birmingham, England, Sept. 6.— The Trades Union congress, repre- senting nearly 2,500,000 organized workers of Great Britain, took an im- ortant and unexpected step today Ey ldo&t)i&x . with a majority of more than 1,000,000 votes, a resolution vir- tually endorsing the principle of pro- tection, The resolution asks for “the adop- tion of methods for restricting. or preventing the importation of cheap manufactured goods produced at low- er rates of wages and under worse labor conditions than prevailing in this country.” Although these words themselves lcce?t the principle. of a protective tariff wall, the protectionists among the labor delegates and in other cir- cles are not inclined to regard the workmen as having been won over to a complete change from free trade. One of the labor members of the House of Commons said the meaning of . the resolution was merely that measures should be taken to investi- gate the origin of goods and condi- tions under which they are produced with a view of preventing the unload- ing of cheap goods in this country af- ter the war, which is much feared. Valentine's Estate Goes to Young Son Chicago, Sept. 6.—The bulk of the fortune of Patrick A.

The will was made in 1905 and was filed in New York, according to ad- vices received here today. An estate estimated at more than $10,000,000 is disposed of by the will. Mrs. Valentine had been left $8,000,000 in her own right by her former hus- band, Phillip D. Armour, jr.,, and re- ceives one-third of the. Valentine es- tate.

American peo- ple would do well to consider the method employed by the English to combat this in- sidious disease. Everyone knows how damp the English climate is and how dampness affects those suffering from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness and head nolses as a constitutional disease and use an internal remedy for it that is really very efficacious. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they had their hearing re- stored by this English treatment to such an extent that the tick of & watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches from either - ') vherefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deatness.

Says Inside-bathing makes any- one look and feel clean, sweet and refreshed. Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- [ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins, which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts, which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. A ‘splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is. a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins ffom the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow- els; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into . the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside-bathing.

JOINT COMMISSION EXCHANGES VIEWS Summary of First Session’s Proceedings Given Out by Cabrera and Lane. NEXT MEETING ON FRIDAY New London, Conn., Sept. 6.—An exchange of views in which consid- eration was given to the “growth, control and stréngth of the constitu- tional government” in Mexico, mark- ed the first formal conference here today of the Mexican and American commissioners appointed to lring about an amicable and permanent set- tlement of international difficulties. A summary of the proceedings, is- sued at the conclusion of the meeting, alluded to the defacto Mexican gov- ernment as having “become every day stronger during the last two years and in particular since the recommis- sion” of the government. This sum- mary, agreed Li?on by Luis Cabrera and Franklin K. Lane, chairman of the Mexican and American delegates, respectively, follows: “This morning’s session lasted three hours, during which Mr. Cabrera pre- sided. The gnt matter of importance was the presentation of mutual cred- entials. In accordance with the Mex- ican form of opening conferences, Mr. Cabrera made a declaration of the purpose of the Mexican members of the commission, saying it was their duty to fulfill in every way possible the great 'responsibility cast upon them by First Chief Carranza, and that they all stood committed to giv- ing their full powers to bringing to a conclusion this conference in such a manner as would be most profitable to Mexico and the United States. After that, Mr. Cabrera stated that it was the desire of the Mexican mem- bers of the commission that the full- est information should be given to the commission regarding all matters involved and that they were quite ready to meet the Americans in a spirit of utmost frankness. “The members of the commission then exchanged views in general about the situation in Mexico and especially on the border, with the view to mak- ing a preparatory study of the sub- ject. During the conference the com- missioners reviewed the growth, con- trol and strength of the constitutional government, which has become every day stronger during the last two years anfl in particular since the recognition of the constitutional defacto govern- ment, showing thdt order was being established throughout the republic, being extended, etc.” The six commissioners and two sec- retaries attend the conference, at the conclusion of which the party re- turned to the presidential yacht May- flower, to spend the afternoon cruis- ing. The next meeting will be held on Friday. AT B - S Movements of Ocean Steamsbips. La Touraine.

LIVE STOCK MEN DELAYED With all reports indicating that the highways between Omaha _nnd Lin- coTn are in excellent condition, the belief now is that a large crowd from Omaha will attend the State fair at Lincoln today, Omaha day. Two girls at the Commercial club were put to work yesterday calling up the club rmembers to learn how many were going. Favorable re- sponses were received from a large number, although many could not tell this morning how their affairs would line up tomorrow for the trip. The entertainment committee of the club also is working on the mem- bership to get out as many as possi- ble for the big Omaha day. There were 2,500 Omahans on the fair grounds at Lincoln last year on Omaha day, and the committees hope to see that figure surpassed this year. The South Side fellows may have to delay their trip to Lincoln until Friday. This is due to the settling of the strike situation, which has result- ed in the arrival of heavy runs of live stock the latter part of the week in- stead of in the fore part. Ordinarily the heavy runs come on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday the cattlemen in the yards expect the run to begin to slacken. This week, however, the. shippers in the range country failed to get their stock to town and loaded in time. to arrive at the market early in the week.
