CAR
MERCHANTS SCORE IN SECURING
BETTER TRAIN SERVICE FOR THE
CITY.
As a result of an agitation begun
by the Retailers' association several
months ago announcement was made
by Secretary Kirkpatrick today that
the Frisco will put on a motor be-
tween Oklahoma City and Lawton
leaving the former city early in the
moiling and returning late in the aft-
ernoon. Mr. Kirkpatrick wrote to C. R. Gray
vice president of the company on Jan.
12 and in a reply received today Mr.
Gray says the Frisco will try out a mo-
tor car service between these two
points beginning some time this month.
The exact date for the installation of
the service has not been fixed but It
will begin as soon as the necessary ar-
rangments can be made.
The new service will be a great
convenience to the northeastern part
! ot the county as it will enable people
j to come here from Tuttle Hailey and
! Amber to transact their business and
return the same day. It will also be a
convenience to Chickasha people who
desire to make trips to points on the
lino south and return In the after-
noon. This is the second addition to the
train service of the city that has been
secured through the persistent efforts
of the merchants. The Rock Island
train which arrives in Chickasha in
the morning from Waurika. returning
in the afternoon was the first fruits of
their efforts.

Bridge Balls and
Dinner Women"
Soundly Scored
Kansas City Feb. 2. Miss Sylvia
Pankhurst the English apostle of mil-
itant woman suffrage arrived in Kan-
sas City and spoke to the members of
the Woman's Dining club. Miss
Pankhurst had a few things to say
about suffrage and why women need
it.
"Every woman needs suffrage" she
declared. "To begin with they need
it to broaden their minds just as our
English women so many of them
needed it a few years ago.
Bridge balls dinners I think the
women who give their lives to such
things as that ought to be swept off
the face of the earth" and Miss Pank-
hurst's face flushed and her blue eyes
sparkled and she said: "I would
love to be one of those to do the
sweeping.
"NeoJ suffrage? Why every human
beings needs it to gain proper respect
"An- woman who doesn't take an in
terest in politics is a woman without
patriotism and without pride and. yes
I will saV it without conimou seuse.

fect women and the children of women

Conference Committee Fail to Agreo

Active in Passing Bills Muskogee
Fair Bill Comes Up
Special by United Press.
Oklahoma City Feb. 2. The senate
yesterday afternoon advanced to third
reading Senator Barefoot' bill which
appropriates $100000 for tha ruction
of a dormitory for the Girls' Industrial
College at ChickaSha.
This action practically insures the
passage of the dormitory bill by the
senate.
Bills appropriating $60000 for the
maintenance of the school for two
years are pending in both houses.
Split on County Division.
The two houses of the legislature
failed to agree on the provisions of the
county division bill which has passed
both houses but in a decidedly differ-
ent form and the bill was sent to
conference. Senators Thomas Smith
Sorrells Kendrick and Potter were
named as the senate conferees while
Tehee Maxey Fuller Jayne and
Campbell will represent the house.
The bill as passed by the senate
repealed the county division law en-
tirely while the house proposed an
entirely new bill amending that law
so as to make it more stringent and
lessen the chance of fraud. The sen
ate Is disposed to accept the house bill
if some further amendments can be
agreed upon. The particular point to
which Senator Smith author of tha
bill raised objection was that it mere-
ly requires the promoters of a new
county scheme to make affidavit that
the name3 on their petition are those
of qualified voters. No requirement is
made for any verification as to the
actual signing of the names on the .pe-
tition. He stated that he is willing to
accept the bill if some additional mod-
ifications of that sort are made.
Proceedings In Senate.
The senate passed finally bills by
Allen and Redwine accepting the grant
of federals jails and reconsidered the
Goulding bill in regard to signatures
by mark passing it on reconsideration
25 to 13. Bills advanced to third read-
ing were those by Jones and Smith
amending the law- in regard to county
bridges and by Kendrick repealing
the provision of the fee and salary bill
which allowed counties of less than
l.'.OOO population having $9000000
valuation to pay the same salaries as
those of greater population. Favorable

to that we always do" she said. "I
have jus-t one answer to make what
about the disreputable men? Disfran.
chise women of publicly admitted evil
lives?" Miss Pankhurst received the
suggestion with a scornful wave of her
hand. ' Not unless I disfranchise the
men who make those lives possible."
Miss Pankhurst said that women
will be granted the rights of suffrage
in England this year.
