Object to Cutting .1-Ccnt Cadi I 'un-
charge in 2 Cents.
S in! .i TI World.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Iec. 1 I. Lep.
rosoiitaltv es of all the railroads op-
erating ill the state were here today
at the hearing of the corporation
commission on a proposed order to
modify an order Issued by the com-
mission several months ago relative to
the charging of I cent extra where
passengers boarded trains not having
purchased tickets They vigorously
objected to reducing the charge.
When the order allowing the charge
of the extra cent was made several
things were considered by the com-
mission and tlie order was allowed
rather on condition that the railioads
do other things they were not doing.
Complaints were sent to the commis-
sion asking that the roads be roipilrol
to keep one door of all the coaches
open for egress or Ingress. Traveling
men especially complained about the
rule of the roads to reiulre each pas
senger to snow tickei ueioro eiueruiK
the cars.
When the order was made finally
it nllowed the roads to charge the
1 cent extra where a passenger had
failed to buy a ticket but required
the opening of a car door at every
car and prohibited tho rule of show-
ing tickets before boarding the train.
Complaints came to the commis-
sion that the railroad companies were
not conforming to the order. It was
complained that In some cases proper
facilities for passengeis buying tick-
ets were not maintained.

CONGRESS TO VOTE
ON SUFFRAGE NOW
Advocates Win Victory in
FiKht to Have Federal
Amendment Tested.
WASIIINHTON Dec. II. Woman
sufl'ruge advocates won a partial vic
tory In their long fight to have Ihe
Susan II. Anthony federal amendment
voted on In congress today when the
house Judiciary committee reported
tho measure for consideration without
recommendation. A campaign now
will be launched to get a special rule
to bring the amendment before tho
house for action pruhubly some time
in January.
Doth suffragists and nntisiiffragists
expressed satisfaction over todays de -
Velopmeul unit are coiitiueiii oi vic-
tory on the floor. Tho anxious that
tho resolution be reported favorably
the suffragists were pleased because
tho committee which generally was
regarded ns hopelessly against their
cause went as far as it (lid. On the
other hand their opponents declare an
onuortunltv to have the house vote on
tho issue Inevitably means a defeat for
suffrage which will settle the question
nniloniillv for many years.
The vole In favor of reporting tho!
resolution 11 to X. does not represent
the sentiment of the committee on the
Issue. Some of Its bitterest enemies
voted favorably most of them confi-
dent of seeing It beaten on the floor
and desirous of quieting charges of
"smothering" in committee.
One element of the committee
headed by Itepresentutlve Igoo of

Ocularly the right if the fluted States
to linn. i!o a iuo omeni for peace was
asserted lieio tonight before the
league to enforce peace by Senator
Stone chairman of the senate foieign

"Since the war has almost from the

Senator Stone "ft seems to me that

fciing these losses for nearly two and
a halt years with no end yet In sight
that we have a light without rcgald

Innocently trom Ihe ruthless ads ol

The senator declared that he wished
I' distinctly uinlcit.tooil that he spoke
on his own personal responsibility
but said he laler might speak "In an-
other form" on whether any neutral
or group of neutials "should attempt
any aflitiualive action to end Hie
piesent war." He said he would not
discuss the wisdom or unwisdom of
an approach of tlie belligerents with
peace
proposals but merely of "Ihe

warned that such n movement would
not only be futile but offensive.

"I am not disposed." he added "lo

borhood the law-abiding members of

pertinence. Why should not the same
rule apply morally ami legally to the

"There have been times" he con-

such things give us some right of our

nation suffering on so large a scale
the evils of war Is obligated fiom any
Just point of view to stand helplessly

SUICIDE VICTIM NOT OF
THE BON TON MILLINERY
Woman Wlio Died Was Proprietress
of Hon Man he Parlor mi
Main Street.
The woman who recently commit-
ted suicide at the I. uxor hotel was
proprietress of the Hon Murchc mil-
linery parlors on Main street until a
short time before her death but was
In nowise connected with Ihe Hon Toll
millinery. The Impression has gone
forth that she operated the Hon Ton
due no doubt to the similarity of the
names. The Hon Marehe wont out ot
business some time since. The Hon
Ton is operaled by Mrs. Kate Hust
and Miss Willla Cowan both of whom
have been greatly annoyed during Hie
past few days by people calling ihcm
up to find which one was the suicide
victim.

In each case those found guilty of
having stolen overcoats in their pos-
session were fined and senten I

Probably the most bold seekers of
raiment that coincided harmoniously
with the briskness of the weather was
the man who entered a downtown

coat donned n heavy overcoat and
walked out. lie was Intercepted hy

Notes From Germany and Aus-

WASIIIXHToV Doc. 1 I. Arrival
of both the Herman and Austrian
peace notes and broad intimations at
the entente ally embassies that tho'
proposals of the ceiilial powers would
not be flatly rejected without ex-
amination weie the oiistatidlug do-
vclopmeiils hero Inlay in tin) peace
move.
(lerinany's note substantially tho
same as the published text arrived by
cable in the early hours of the morn-
ing and Just as the slate department
was closing for the day. Austria's nolo
in rived. Secretin y Lansing said It
was Iileiiltcal Willi lierioaiiy's and that
neither contained any change 111 mean-
ing Iroin the semi-official versions.
It was stated ofucially that neither
(erman.v's nor Austria's note would
be fin warded hi fine toluol row If lu-
ll I then and there was no outward
Indication that the . readout had
made up his mlml what action If
any he would take in transmitting the
central power proposals to Hie entente
belligerents.
Altitude Moderates.
With the ii ii ii ii i incut of the
Ci no in proposals two days ago It ap-
peared that the entente allies were in-
clined to reject the offer flatly. It ap-
peared very I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 If President
Wilson could find a way to add a
word of iiii'di.itlon lu transmitting the
notes. With the apparent moderating
ol that fust altitude as reflected in
the Hrltlsh now spa ioi. s and among
the entente diplomats here tho way
seems easier for the president to ex-
press 111 suie way tlie llopo of the
I lilted Stud that the proposal for a
ilisi iisioii of peace will not be rejected
without consideration. In such a step
there Is a likelihood of the I'nited
States being supported by some of tho
Km open n neuti als. The minister of
one of them today nsked his govern-
ment to authorize him to assure tho
president of indorsement lu such a
move and il Is behoved others are con-
sidering the sumo phase of tho situa-
tion.
Conferences Held.
The Spanish (itnhassador.JNfr. Ttinno
and tlie Swiss minister. Doctor Hitter
both conferred today with Secretary
Lansing. Their government's also lire
acting as Intermediaries In transmit-
ting Ihe proposals. Whether they dis-
cussed tho prospect of a neutral con-
cert was not disclosed but the Im-
pression prevailed that In tho absence
of a decision by President Wilson tho
siil'led was scarcely moro than
touched upon.
The change In the attitude of the
entente embassies however was re-
garded as the most Interesting de-
velopment pointing to the probable
position of the allies. It was Indicated
that to avoid being placed In tho posi-
tion of flatly rejecting peace overtures
Without knowing what Is proposed It
was not Improbable that after mature
deliberation among themselves the
allies would make reply Inquiring
upon what basis a discussion Was sug-
gested. Such an action by tho ullles
it was pointed out would not hy any
leans hind them In a conference
(.eiioiul Misting ( C.'
The Herman view ( I tho next prob-
able step is that .1 meeting of repre-
sentatives of all the belligerents
should be proposed for a gem ral dis-
cussion of all approach to a basis for
peace. (Senium officials here repeat-
ed!" have expressed their conviction
that once having gone that far. the
movement would result lu an actual
