' MAN IS SHOT IN
I ’’VOTING BRAWL”
Chicago, April 10.—As the sequel to
an argument over women's suffrage, a
well dressed man, believed to be Wil
liam Woods of San Francisco, wasi
shot dead and James Franche, alias
“Ditty the Goat,” is sought by the po
lice on a murder charge. A young
woman also is wanted in conection'
with the tragedy.
On Voting.
Woods, Franche and the woman
were said to have been drinking to
gether in a case last night, when an
argument over equal suffrage arose.
The Californian contended that women
had the right to vote. According to
the story told the police Franche took
- exception to the Westerner’s remarks
[ and shot him.
Sparring Man.
Wood’s right name was Isaac Hen
. agow, but he was known in sporting
. circles as William Wood. He former
. ly was sparring partner for a puglist
known as “Kid” Farmer.
Want Full Rights.
Declaring that women demonstrated
• their desire to vote at Tuesday's town
ship elections, Illinois woman suffrage
leaders today began a movement for
' full voting rights. This could be ob
tained only through a change in the
. state’s constitution.
Under the equal suffrage act women
cannot vote for state officials, legisla
tors, congressmen or other constitu
tional officers. The law granting them
votes on questions of public policy and
for President and city officers is pro
vided for by statute.
Dry Campaign.
Inspired by victories in the Illinois
local option elections Tuesday, tem
perance forces today issued a call for
a meeting next Monday to plan a wet
and dry vote in Chicago at a mayor
alty election next spring.
The drys contemplate beginning the
city campaign now and continuing it
i
until election day a year hence.
Revised returns from Tuesday’s lo
cal option elections in Illinois show
52 of the 102 counties in the state are
now anti-saloon territory.

THE ‘DIVINITY’ OF SKIRTS
STiRS UP GEORGIA TOWN
U-
Great Furore is Created at
Mount Airy
Mount Airy, Ga., April 10.—This lit
tle town is stirred by a new brand of
religious lanaticism which is spread
ing at a great rate and threatens ser
ious consequences. Followers of a
flaxen-haired Irish girl, who claims
tc be divine, have flocked here from j
various points in north Georgia and j
are causing a religious upheaval in
'this section.
The cult is holding three services:
a day in a' large tent pitched near the!
Baptist church. So zealous are some I
of the devotees that they are trying to
divorce their wives of other faiths,
give their children away and devote
their lives to the new belief.
Members of the band, organized
three years ago, believe that their girl
leader is superhuman and immune
from all ills of the flesh; they sav
i that her face shines like an angel’s.
Considerable excitement prevai's ■
among them as they think the end of
time is now at hand, that all prophesy
;is now fulfilled, and that only the
i members of their sect will be saved.
They spend most of the time singing,
reading the Bible, and holding meet
ings.
The use of tobacco is forbidden, as
well as any attempt to adorn the body.
The high cost of hiving troubles them
not, as fasting rather than feasting, is
the order of the sect.
