Senator Gavit Opposes New Suffrage Bill Strenuously Hammond Woman's CluVs Endorsement of Measure Doesn't Go Very m Tar With Lake County Senator.

"I am opposed to the bill, openly and secretly, publicly and privately. I do not believe it Is a good thing to have women voting, and if it is necessary for me to sign a minority report from the committee to get rid of the bill, I will do It." This statement is credited to Sonaor Frank Gavit of Whiting, and pertains to the municipal suffrage bill which received unanimous indorsement at the hands of the Hammond Woman's club last Saturday. Mr. Gavit, however, is not alone in his opposition to the bill, and the probabilities are that If a ballot vote had been taken at the Hammond Woman's club the report would not have been quite unanimous. The fact of the matter seems to be that quite a number of the Hammond ladies are indifferent to the measure, but. on the other hand, It has its strong supporters. The bill is known as a municipal suf frage bill, and provides that women In incorporated cities and towns shall have the same right and be under the same restriction in voting on munici pal questions as any man. If the bill becomes a law they will also have the same rights as men to hold office. Mrs. J. M. Turner, who is one of the strong supporters of the bill in Ham mond, said this morning that-the Ham mond Woman's club approved the bill on general principles rather than because of any particular issues in Hammond, and scouted the idea that a suf frage party was in formation. Speaking of the suffrage bill, the Indianapolis Star yesterday said: Committee Divided. "The committee on Judiciary (A), which has had the measure In charge since its introduction, may submit a divldded report on the bill, a majority favoring its passage and the minorityfavoring indefinite postponement. "Senator Harlan of Indianapolis, a member of the committee, has promeluded in the evening's program. The card games were announced at eight o'clock and the guests played several -games of pedro. Dancing followed the games and was enjoyed until a late hour. An enjoyable program of music was played for the dancing. ATTEND Fl'NERAI, SERVICES.

Ised several women of thla city who are interested In the bill that he woula endeavor to have a report made not lator than today. At a meeting Of the committee after adjournment yesterday the friends of the bill endeavored to have a report signed and ready

for presentation this morning, but the members of the committee who are not favorable to the bill asked for more time. Would Complicate Fla-urea. "Senator Proctor said neither his wife, mother or daughter desire to vote, and no women of his acquaintance ever asked him to vote for such a measure. "At one time since the bill was Introduced it was believed that a unanimous report favoring its passage would be submitted to the senate, but It now appears there will be opposition even to a favorable report. Some of the members of the senate are opposed to the passage because they declare It gives women the right to vote only on municipal questions and that In compiling figures to make comparison of municipal1 with- state elections, the figures would become misleading. Senator Clark of Indian apolis, who Is not a member of the committee having the suffrage bill In charge, said he would be In favor of its passage if applied to all elections, but In Its present form he was doubtful if he would give It his support. "Senator Royse, chairman of the committee, has been waiting to get a majority of the members In favor of recommending the passage ot the bill before submitting his report to the senate. He and other members, who are friendly to the measure, have been endeavoring to persuade those who do not Intend voting for the passage of the bill to sign a favorable report, but their efforts have been unavailing. were made, and the members will meet for an all-day session in the church.

AN OLD-TIME STEW. . In the days of oar grandmothers, when the cooking waa done at the open fireplace, it was railed a "Skillet and lid," nnd the heat was both above and below. The Teaael was a deep, wide skillet having long, Iron legs, and this vran set over a bed of bright, glowing coals that were raked out on the hearth. The pan waa always lined with aliees of bacon, earrots, onions, and savory herbs, and on thla lining, the meat was laid. ' A little water waa added enough to keep the contents from burning, and to furnish liquid for occasional basting. Over this was placed an iron lid, tightly fitting .and .deep rimmed, with a depression of top for holding hot coals and ashes, and lato this depression, covering the whole lid, were heaped shovelfuls of bright, live coals. The cooking was done literally "between two fires." The cools were replenished as wanted. The lid could be lifted occasionally, for the purpose of basting, or udding a little more water, if needed. The coarser, cheaper, tough and tasteless pieces of meat were thua rendered dellclously tender and savory. Generally, a few drops of vinea-ar or lemon fulee was added to the water la the pan to make the meat more tender, when the dish was done, the meat was taken up, the gravy reduced, slrained and finished with a little thickening, and either poured over the meat and vegetables, or served separately. Braising can be done In the range oven with an ordinary pan with a tight-fitting cover, such as can be bad of any boune-furnlshtng or department store. Or It can be done In an Iron kettle on top of the stove having a tightly fitting cover to retain all moisture, and then it is called a pot roast. and after a short business meeting the hostesses served refreshment and an hour wa spent In an enjoyable social way.
