THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1914 7 PROMISES To Ohio Suffragettes Were Not Kept By Dry League, Women Speakers Declare. State Association To Submit Another Amendment. Right To Change Rules of Procedure in Civil Code May Be Given To Supreme Court. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Columbus, Ohio, December promises to support the equal suffrage amendment were made by the leaders of the State Anti- League and that they were unfulfilled was the burden of the complaint of several speakers at the annual meeting of the Ohio Equal Suftrage Association to-day.

Decision to submit the suffrage amendment to the people not later than 1916 was reached, the majority being opposed to an earlier date. Miss Florence Allen asserted her belief that as many as "drys" voted for the amendment last month. The assertion that promises were made for the upholding of the cause furnishes strong independent support of the allegation of the liberals that they were forced into the prohibition fight this year by the knowledge that the officials of the Anti-Liberal League Intended to place their strength behind the equal suffrage amendment and then, if successful, to utilize ze the female voters to carry the dry amendment in 1915. It is the intention of the Equal Suffragettes to establish a state headquarters in this city in 1915, and for this purpose the leaders to-day asked for contributions of $15,000. Work will be begun as speedily as possible for a submission in 1916, and will be directed from this, city.

In the last year, according to the Treasurer, Mrs. Zella Deming, the association recelved $19,431 51 and spent $18.856 10. More than half of the money came from persons outside of Ohio. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, who WAS re-elected President for the eighteenth time, announced that she had received from an unidentified woman 8 diamond ring valued at $150 am 8 donation to the cause.

Not being able to return it, Mrs. Upton will utilize the gem for the raising of funds, eschewing, however, anything looking like a raffle or lottery. In addition to Mrs. Upton the following officers for 1915 were elected: Miss Zore DuPont, Cleveland, First Vice President; Mrs. Dora Sandoe Bachman, Columbus, Second Vice President Mrs.

Ethel R. Vorce, Cleveland, Corre sponding Secretary; Miss Rose Moriarte, Elyria, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Zella Hart Deming, Warren, Treasurer, and Mrs. Julius F. Stone, Columbus, Auditor.

Mrs. Harold Davidson, Dayton, was elected State Representative for the tional Suffrage Association. By a resolution, the association decided to continue the policy of entering into no alliance with any other group, faction or propaganda, and local organizations are forbidden to do this. The action elimintes chances of formation of an ment to assist the Anti-Liberal League in its campaign for prohibition next year. RIGHT TO CHANGE RULES Of Procedure May Be Given To Supreme Court.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Columbus, Ohio, December marked the session to-day of the commission named by Governor James M. Cox to recommend to the General Assembly suggestions for shortening and aimplifying judicial procedure and reducing the cost of litigation. Two leading proposals were adopted for transmission to the law-making power. The commission believes they will go far toward eliminating the lame features of the code of civil procedure.

Two tentative bills, prepared by Simeon M. Johnson, of Cincinnati, were adopted. by the commission. The idea underlying the chief one is to give to the Supreme Court the right to formulate rules of procedure where the civil code provisions are not satisfactory, The bill would give the Court power to prescribe the forms and manner of service and writs and all other process, the mode and manner of framing and Aling proceedings and pleading, of giving notice and preparing and entering orders and generally to regulate and prescribe the forms for all pleadings in all civil cases. As the Court promulgates new rules the sections of the civil code are wiped out by the operation of the law.

The measure would allow the Court to adopt registered mail as a means of service. This is one of the suggestions for expedition of justice that has received favorable consideration, and may be recommended. Shortening of the time for making returns on summons also is suggested for consideration. The second measure provides for the forms and modes of procedure in appeals to the Courts from the orders of administrative boards or officers. The bill 18 designed to make effective a provision of the new constitution adopted two years ago.

The committee named H. H. Johnson, of Cleveland, and Judge E. B. Follett, of Marietta, to draft a report.

They may recommend a general change in the constitutional provisions relating to the Courts. In an address to the commission former Judge Scott Stahl declared that 80 per cent. of the law's delay is imagination and 99 per cent of the remaining 20 per cent is the fault of Judges and lawyers, and not due to the civil code imperfections. He further thought that lawyers' fees are the basis for the thought that the cost of justice is abnormally high. CITY MANAGERS Form National Association- -Springfield Official President.

Chicago, December the bureaucracy which of late has been grow1sg with remarkable rapidity in this county is eliminated, there can be no permanent or substantial prosperity in the Finited, States. This is the substance of a statement by A. B. Leach, of New York, President of the Investment Bankers' Association of America. Mr.

Leach declared that business in the East was improving and that there was a hopeful tone, but that the shadow of governmental interference in private enterprise was over it all. "Bureaux, bureaux," he declared, "these are the hampering factors, and until the tendency to make every business -which shows indications of assuming large proportions the subject of supervision and regulation by the Government is overcome, it seems almost impossible for us to expect any great prosperity."

Bardes Ranges are very good Religious News Contradicting the general impression, Rev. Dr. Ernest C. Wareing, associate editor of the Western Christian Advocate, declared that men are more than women in an address at Lane 83m- Inary yesterday morning. Dr.

Wareing several years ago conducted one of the largest Bible classes of men in the United States. "The Jewish religion is for men," said he. "The women have their place, but the line of descent and the high prerogatives of the faith were given and held the men. The crusades were men's movements. If you approach a man on the right side he will take religion.

Ife is naturally religious. Why does not Christianity draw men to-day? There great movement of men toward the church to-day. They have been coming into Bible classes for the past three years at the rate of 2,800 a Sunday, "The preacher who is to succeed must get people to believe he has something they want. The reason that preachers are less successful in getting people to want goodness more than they want goods 18 that they have failed to make the people see the superlative value of goodness. This la the preacher's art, to advertise his business so the people will want goodness more than they want the things that perish with the using.

Preachers must learn the art displaying religion and become experts in methods of publicity if they are going to succeed in this age."

Statements By Other "Dry" Workers, Who, It Is Said, Have Made Strong Allegations garding Affairs in Cincinnati, May Also Be Probed. That the Hamilton County grand jury will make a rigid investigation of the charges made by S. A. Probst, head of the Antisaloon League, that ten men forced to vote "wet" at the point of a revolver last election day, was made certain yesterday when County ProsecutorThomas L. Pogue announced that he intends to probe the matter to the bottom.

"I shall take up the investigation of these charges and go through with them to the very minutest detail," said Prose-cutor Pogue. He also announced that he will call Mr. Probst and Rev. Jacob J. Hawk, who, as a notary, declares that he took the affidavit of the alleged leader of the ten men who claim they were forced to vote against their convictions.

It is even probable that Prosecutor Pogue may call the attention of the grand jury to statements attributed to other "dry' workers regarding conditions in Cincinnati. It is claimed that some exceedingly strong allegations are being made about affairs in this city at the recent "wet" and "dry" election by speak. ers in small towns throughout the State, and Prosecutor Pogue may send for some of these and give them the opportunity to tell what, if anything, they know to the grand jury. Probst Not in City. "Anyone may have any Information or who claims to have it will be called before the grand jury to give their information to that body," declared Prosecutor Pogue.

Superintendent Probat was out of the city yesterday and at his headquarters in the Methodist Book Concern Building it was stated that his whereabouts was not known. It is thought that he went to Columbus to confer with Wayne Wheeler, State Superintendent of the Antisaloon League. Rudolph Mack, attorney for the Hamilton County Dry Amendment League, is also out of the city and is supposed to be in Columbus. A demand that. Superintendent S.

A. Propst, of the Anti-Saloon League, be summoned by Prosecutor Pogue before the grand jury to explain his accusations at Portsmouth, Ohio, is made in a lution adopted yesterday at the annual meeting in Richelleu Hall of the Hamilton County Liquor League. Another resolution adopted without a dissenting voice pledged the organization, composed of 450 saloon proprietors, to "stand pat" on the present license and regulatory laws. The election of officers developed some spirited friendly rivalry between the "Reds" and "Blues," with close victory for Max Weinberger, heading the Red ticket. The various proposed methods of distributing licenses were discussed, and as a result the league placed itself on record as favoring the existing laws and system.

This action is regarded as nificent, as reflecting the views of the organized saloon men through the state. Will Increase Membership. The league resolved to launch a movement to increase the membership, so as to be enabled to meet any contingency. WeinLerger, who conducts a saloon at 111 East Sixth street, wrested the Presldency from his opponent, 'President Gustav Hills, of 111 Calhoun street, by seven votes.

The woman under the roseate coverlets held out her jeweled hand. The maid save one swift glance at her mysterious, avaricious eyes and vanished.

As she closed the door after her the envelope, torn into shreds, fell to the floor. Mrs. Darnell sat up alertly and quickly perused the slow, even script written on the old-fashioned blue-lined paper of country hotel. "Dear Cousin Jean: Since you last heard from me I have found Gallon. am leaving to-day for Silent Creek.

His 'Master Key' mine is only 10 miles from there. Won't he be surprised to see me? will let you know later how our scheme comes out. "Good-by for now. Keep mum! ever, Harry." Fear of One Man. When Gallon thought he had killed Wilkerson he became Infected with the ineradicable disease of dread.

In his converastion with John Dorr he had given first expression to his feelings. The young mining engineer, on account of his youth, did not fully understand that men do not speak of such things until age-loosener of tongues as well as of the chords of life--suddenly oppresses them; makes them feel helpless; brings them to a realization of what the ultimate fact of death means. He had barely caught the appeal in the old man's voice when he had comprehended Ruth's peril. The old man, with shaking limbs, had watched the rescue. When he saw that his daughter was safe he also perceived the solution of his problem.

Here was quick mind needed to proteot Ruth's property. Somewhere in that hill was the richest of Caitfornia gold. Once more he said to himself "John Dorr can find 'The Master Feeling himself too weak to meet the girl who was now clinging limply to her rescuer and also discerning in his own slowing pulse that his time was short, he went down the hill, crossed the gulch without word to the wondering miners and entered the bungalow. A moment later John Dorr entered with Ruth in his arms. The old man merely looked up.

"Always look after her, John, he said slowly, "and if Wilkerson comes back-" Dorr looked at the old man with pity in his eyes. "She isn't hurt," he said, gently putting her down on the couch, Then he straightened up. "I'll always look efter her." he promised. Gallon stared over af: the white face of his daughter as uhe lay unconscious on the couch. thus expressing to himself his own comprehension of the fact that there was coming such period In his own life.

He went out without look backward. When he returned the room was empty, He fingered the books on the table and fell into state of profound thought. He did not hear the door open behind him. Ruth, freshly clad and wholly recovered from her experience, wondered at her tather's attitude. She stepped softly toward him.

He did not turn. She went nearer. She laid her soft hands on his shoulder and then, If the fingers or lifelong fear were touching the very nerves of his being. Thomas Gallon slowly twisted his head by a supreme effort of will to so the sight which of all things in the world he did not want to see, the face of his enemy. By the magic of the strange phantasmagoria which represents our mental processes if we looked at them carefully, he did see the face of Harry Wilkerson.

he breathed. eyes closed, compelled to by his troubled conscience: but he was recalled by a loved and familiar voice: it was Ruth bending over him saying: "Father! Father! what is the matter?"

and the Original Bounding Tramper hated face. "Ruth!" he said, and It struck him that on her face was 'a look almost of terror. He must reassure her. Dread and fear and terror do not belong in the hearts of of maidens. By a tremendous effort he dow pulled himself together and smiled.

the "Why, nothing was the matter, child; I was only thinking." But there was something in his tone that made Ruth draw back. In her inno- tip cence she had not learned to discern the difference between the various rude pas- let sions that govern this world. She was still afraid. She crept out the door. Ing Gallon let his head fall on the table upon his empty arms.

As Ruth closed the door softly behind old her, she saw a light burning in John Dorr's cabin and there flooded over her sense of relief that there was some one to whom she could go. Careless of maiden- at ly modesty, Western girl as she was, as obsessed by the fear of that strange scene she had just left in the bungalow, she fled up the hill toward that one beacon that held out hope of life and--did she know him Once at the door she knocked hard, be- it cause it seemed to her that she had been pursued up the hill by some strange and miserable demon. "John! John!" she cried. gle The door was flung open and he appeared, his bulk filling the yellow ing from jamb to jamb," The moment he appeared it came over her that she had done an unconventional thing; yet there was that demon of fear creeping up the hill after her, and she had turned her eyes to the kind, brave face of of the engineer and held out her slender arma and whispered: "John, I don't understand; something has happened; I am and scared." John Dort looked down at her fair face for a moment and shut his eyelids. Was the It true, that she had finally come to him? He, too, felt the presage of dread.

Way down the hill, across the gulch drenched in moonlight and shadows, it seemed to him that he saw one of those grotesque and impossible figures, mirages of the he desert night. Then he took Ruth into his strong arms. ing Thus It is in this world that those whose arms are empty feel the Angers of fear at their throats; and only those whose See the spectacular moving pictures, Manufacturing Company, at the following ORPHEUM EVERY STAR HEUCK'S EVERY HIPPODROME EVERY METROPOLITAN SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, THE ARCADE MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, CINCINNATI BUCKEYE STREET.

And the man whose arms held nothing, whose hands were clenched in an agony culminating fear, saw through the wina figure' of a man on horseback on crest of the hill. Resurrection. A tall, dark, stern man, who did not the porter, got off the Overland express at Silent Valley. The little hamlay there like a mirage of some man's dream. There was but one familiar buildin the place, and Harry Wilkerson gazed at it and smiled.

"Well," he said audibly, "this looks like times! Now to find Gallon!" It seems that in that clear dusk which marks the border line between life and death we see things more clearly than any other time; and Harry Wilkerson, he looked over the familiar valley, remembered that long night when almost mortally wounded by Thomas Gallon's bullet he had crept to safety. Every peak, gulley and gulch was as plain to as it was on that night, but this time conveyed a different meaning. During those long hours of agony and thirst years ago this scene had meant to him simply a hell from which he must strugout; now it was a paradise he was going to regain. He had heard a great deal about GalIon's mediocre success and he did not fully understand why it was that "The Master Key" mine did not pay better. Was it possible that his former partner not been able to find that rich vein gold after all? He smiled again.

He would find it. Then there was that girl whose vivacity beauty he had heard so much about. Same instinct told him that Gallon must be ever thinking. of him, and with dramatic impulse of a man who has long nursed the hope of bitter vengeance, he planned his reappearance. He would find his old partner alone, and there and then they would once more have it out.

This was the reason that had not taken the motor stage, but had come on horseback, silently watchfor, his opportunity. His keen eyes scanned the scene below him and easily picked out the bungalow.
