Subsequent Investigation by tho police and Coroner Gut tnve J. Schaefer, however, brought tho conviction that Poege had thrown himself into the water with suicidal Intent.

Mr. Slossen told of his experiences with woman suffrage In Wyoming and of how he and his mother voted together in Kansas.

It Is not a question, In Mr. Slos-sen's mind, whether or not we are to have woman's suffrage, but he declares It must come. It Is not an experiment, but has been successfully In operation for forty-two years In Wyoming. The American suffragettes are not of the militant sort, aa are their EngllBh slaters.
