FOTES FDR Tttll IS LEADKJG TOPIC 07hich Will Confront British Parliament When It Meets Thursday.

(Nation! Naws Association) LONDON, Feb. 12. Chancellor Lloyd-Oeorge openly and vehement! championing the cause of "votes foi women" and Premier Asquith set iternly against It that It the situation among the government leader on the suffrage question as the opening ot Parliament draws near. When the na ttonal legislature convenes next Thursday there will begin the greatest fight for enfranchisement of women in the history of the British Empire. The taking up the cudgel for equal suffrage by the Chancellor of the Exchequer marks an epoch in the evolution of the suffrage question. Never before has a high government official In England espoused the cause. The fact that he and the Prime Minister are at loggerheads on such an Intense lxBue is commented on by some as fignalizlng the advent of a national crisis. Other big and Just as important problems will be threshed out during the coming session of Parliament, dominant among them being the clash over Home Rule for Ireland, but not ven Home Rule will develop a more spectacular fight than that over suffinge. Cabinet la Divided. A sharp line of demarcation divides the entire cabinet, into two hostile amps. While the "antts," led by Premier Asqulth, have majority of the liolders of portfolios on their side, their margin numbers only two. They also nave considerably more followers in Parliament, enough so as to make success for suffrage at the comiug session a possibility only by means of unforseen developments that would be regarded as little short of miracles, hut the right will be just as fiercely and strenuously fought by LloydGeorge and his associates as if they had tangible things on which to hinge expectations of victory. The suffrage sympathisers are hoping to create so much sentiment for Votes for Women at the coming session that the proposition will be due for passage in the next Parliament. The National Anti-Suffrage league on the one hand and the National Union of Women Suffrage societies on the other are laying their plans deeply for the final strokes of the campaign, which will be waged with fierce teal by both sides. The Chancellor has .made bold enough to request the arrangement of a meeting to create sentiment for suffrage, and It will be held a week from next Saturday in Albert Hall, eight days after the opening of Parliament and just about the time that things will begin to move In the House. As time goes on. It becomes more and more apparent that the difference over the suffrage question threatens to cause a rupture between Lloyd-George and the Premier. Already animosity exists between them, and It is predicted that before the session is far advanced, they will be directly fighting each other on a- personal basis. It Is difficult to see how disaster to the Liberal party can be averted. The more thoughtful Liberals confess they are disturbed at the serious danger which is looming ahead, ixjoking at the Liberal party, we find the cabinet, the Ministry, Ministeralists in the House of Commons, and Liberals in the constituencies divided into two hostile camps. FAREWELL DINNER TO LOCAL PASTOR A farewell luncheon In honor of the Rev. Robert glhith. who will leave Kichmond soon, was the feature of a meeting of the local ministerial association at the Y. M. C. A. this noon. Short talks by all the pastors present commended the work of (he Rev. Smith in this city, and expressed hope for his success in a new field. Rev. Smith and family will go to California next week. Rev. Hay worth, in a paper on Psychotherapy, which preceded the luncheon, told of how knowledge and application of this subject had cured him, and affirmed that he used the doctrine in helping his parlshoners. The other ministers later discussed the subject, and unanimously favored Rev. Hayworth's position in the matter. All Week H ii ii W$ U

All the new babies are well and happy and glad to be here in time, to celebrate Lincoln's birthday. The recently acquired citizens of Richmond are: Frank Hall, Jr., the fourth child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hall, 1547 North O street.

The Christian church was crowded and many turned away last night when Ensign and Mrs. Munselle gave their lecture on the work of the Salvation Army or " Around the World with General Booth." Long before the hour of starting the church was full and many were forced to stand. The lecture was composed of 250 beautiful lime light dissolving views depicting clearly the work of the Salvation Army all over the world. The Ensign said that General Booth was 82 years of age and still actively engaged in Salvation Army work, also he draws no salary for his services. The Salvation Army has only been in operation for 47 years and Is operating in 56 different countries and colonies and, it has been said, has spread more rapidly than any other religious organization either in modern or ancient history. Last year 250,000 people professed conversion in the services conducted by the Salvation Army throughout the world. The Ensign also spoke of the wonderful converts of the Salvation Army, among them Billy Smith the noted pugullst of Philadelphia, and Florence Worth, the noted actress, who are actively engaged in the Salvation army work at the present time.

Coroner Pierce has not completed his examination of witnesses who were on the scene of the accident on the C. &. O. railroad last Thursday, between this city and BoBton, and in which Charles Keever and William Sommers, both residing at Peru, and members of the wrecking crew, were killed. The examination of the witnesses started Saturday afternoon and will probably not be completed until tomorrow afternoon. The coroner did not take up the case today. ' Although Coroner Pierce is not ready yet to place the blame for the accident upon any one man be admits that according to the testimony of the witnesses a blunder was made by. one of the men, and he says that he will have to call some of the witnesses back in-order to question them further. The coroner stated that W. A. Jones, a young brakeman, was responsible for the signal given for the engine to "come ahead." He says that he will be obliged to examine Jones and Sweeney again. REAL ESTATE SOLD FOR UNPAID TAXES The annual sale of real estate that has become delinquent in taxes, was held this forenoon at the court house by Treasurer Albertson. Approximately 300 pieces of real estate, situated in various parts of Wayne county, were included in the list of delinquent properties as it originally was made up on January 1, but In the last few weeks much of this was cleared up. There were but few' bidders present at the sale today and there were few "good things" to be offered. Meek & Skiilman, of Greenaburg, Ind.. a firm of attorneys that makes a business of purchasing tax titles in various parts of the State, took most of the day's offerings. A BABE SUFFOCATED Because he was wrapped up too closely, it is believed, Frank, the Infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hall, colored, 1321 North G street was probably suffocated yesterday morning.
