SUFFRAGE LEADERS ARE ANGRY Much Bitterness Against Both G. 0. P. and Democrats Is Experienced.
By WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS. . r STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE "WASHINGTON. April oil. The last fre.rnairjng chance of women voting In the national elections next November Is kenging by tv thread thinner than gos(smir. In the- opinion of the National fWomen's Party loaders here today, there fremajns just a shred cf her that the suffrage amendment to the constitution will be ratified in timg to give women m. voice in naming the next president of .the. United States. AjS.SE D rSOM KKTE STATES. Even were the necessary thirty-sixth (ftate to ratify tomorrow, it i3 pointed ut, the women voters of at least nine nates would be barred from the rolls tecausa the last day for registering in these states is now passed. So it i3 that while suffrage leaders are wearing brave faces and publicly hoping for the best, they privately admit there is considerable bitterness against both Democrats and Republicans because of the delayed ratification. ASUT AT BOTH PASTIES. Charges may soon be leveled against loth parties for blocking national votes for women. Both are now under suspicion because of a growing belief among cmen that neither is over-anxious to fcave a heavy feminine vote cast In this H'ectlon, which it is impossible to reeken with beforehand. ' Admittedly . an crJcnown quantity, such a vote might conceivably toss upon the scrap heap the expert calculations of the professional politicians and for this reason many feminists here believe) neither Jtepubllcans nor Democrats are especially anxlou3 to have ratification. JTIVE STATE POSSIBILITIES. Miss Alice Taul of New Jersey, chairfnan. with other members of 6he national executive committee of tho woman's jarty. however, refuse to give in and ere now engaged In leading a forlorn fcope charge against the amendment's premies. Five states continue to be regarded fxs possibilities and every atom of the party's strength is being brought to tear in an attempt to induce at least ene of them to ratify. Two states are yeally needd to mike suffrage sure, for srhile one will make up the necessary thirty-six states . ratifying. Ohio may ae to drop out of line of ratifying rates on a legal technicality. The five stares offering more or less rrcund for optimim are Deleware. Louisiana, North Carolina, Connecticut pnd Vermont. Delaware is described as jgoubtful with the rest more fo. Feminists here admit that Vermont and Connecticut might as well be counted out, sr. slim is the chance of action in time fo be of service thi3 year. CALL MAY DAY STRIKE Hand-bllta calling for a May Day prtrike and uprising were distributed through East Chicago and Indiana Harbor last night in a thorough manner stnd et the same time the distributors IScaped the nohce of all. It is believed that th distribution was mid? late at flight. The bills, some of which were printed n English and some in Polish, were placed in the doorways of houses and jpoine were even placed inside the fences ef soine of the industries.

E. Chicago's Population Is 35,968 Federal Census Figure Show Times Estimate To Be Almost Correct.
Official announcement of the East Chicago census received this morning, which places the number of S5.96S. an increase of more than 93 rer cent over 1910. caused some disappointment among citizens of East Chicago and among official circles where it was expected that the enumeration would be closer to 37,000 than 36.000. The figure, how ever, was more than satisfying to those who had feared the city would fall short of reaching the 35,000 necessary to place it in the second class. The actual figure compares closely with the estimate by The Times in a recent issue. A falling ehort of 35.000 would have been a real catastrophe for practically every citizen in the Twin Cities, especially when it was a certainty that Hammond would pass into the second class by a safe margin.

Autolcfs who dropped lntca local supplies dealer last week to purchase General tires were told by th distributor that shipments had b" upheld bf the railroad strike and that he had none to oft'ef. Soon, hewever, reports came to him that a rival dealer was selling: his brand of tires and apparently had plenty of them In stock. Then things began to happen. Testerdsr. Charles B. Terry, living on Detroit street, and whe was employed as a switchman by the "Monon railroaod, was arrested on a charge of grs.nd larceny. His bonds were fixed at Jr. 000 which he met and was released to appear tomorrow morning in the city court. Special Agent T . Johnson of the Nickel Plate railroad, and Detective S. Singer, of Hammond Central police station were responsible for Terry's arrest after they had ypent several days in unraveling the theft of hundreds of dollars of tires stolen from a Nickel Plate freight car. Terry, it Is allesred, removed the tires front the car which stood on a elding In Hammond awaiting to be re-routed to Portland, Oregon. He had previously made arrangements with the auto dealer to supply him with tires at an agreeably low price after having- purchased them In Chicago. The supplies man was a trifle suspicious but Terry's ingenious story coupled with the low -price broke down any scruples and the deal was made. According to Terry a friend ef his In Chicago, pretended bankruptcy and fearing that his hlddn stock might come to l'ght. offered it tc Terry to sell. "When the dealer who couldn't get the tires from the company, for -which he was agent and hi rival could the dealer became Indignant and communicated with his Chicago office. They sent a man here to investigate. He got In touch with the Hammond police department. The dealer was questioned and admitted his purchase of the tires under shady circumstances. He gave the name of Terry and Terry w as arrested . LOWELL THIEVES ARE SENTENCED SPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 CROWN POINT, Ind.. April 30.

BARNES GLAD MATTER IS CLEANED DP
Peter Kaljamin. the South Chicago man who, after being sentenced to thirty days In the county jail for booze running, was. gicn a "furlough'' by the sheriff in order that he could make some repairs at his home, has been recommitted by Judge Klotz and will serve his full sentence. Sheriff Barnes today declared that there was no intention of shortening the man's sentence when hevas released, but that It was understood he was to make up the lost time. Kaljamln's sentence was deferred ten, days at the time he pleaded guilty in order that he could attend to the home business, but when he found that he could not finish a building he was working on he had Charles Klose of Whiting intercede for him for a leave of absence after the commitment was made. Mr. Barnes says it Is the first case ef Its kind that has happened since he has been sheriff and adds signiflcantly that it is the last time. It was only after Klose had. guaranteed to return Kaljamin to jail at the time specified that Barnes gave Jailer Tom Piatt orders to release the prisoner. Requests are frequently made to the sheriff to release prisoners and aften the reasons have merit as in the case of Kaljamin, who otherwise would have been forced to leave a house standing on jacks for thirty days. However. Barnes says he has always turned the pleas down until the rresent case. The sheriff says that in a certain sense he is glad that the matter came to the attention of tho rublic as it did for now the people cf Lake county will knowthat he does not have the legal power of releasing prisoners and henceforth he will not be bothered by such requests. Judge Klotz and Sheriff Barnes talked the matter over triis morning and Kaljamin was once more turned over to the sheriff with the understanding that he is to serve the full thirty days sentence.
