LOCAL WOMEN
PLEASED WITH RIGHT TO VOTE
'i.'i Hlstorr mnnnt relata th nnmber of
men who have sacrificed their lives
',' and fortunes to attain the right of franchise. This right was won by Indiana worn'"en yesterday when the lower house
- of the legislature passed the senate's
equal suffrage bill quietly and with but little discussion, and today the big majority of Wayne county women accept this victory quietly and with very ; little discussion. The same cannot be said of the "mere men" politicians. They stated, as a matter of course, that they were well pleased that the
franchise had been extended to the
gentle sex. Privately they admitted that the legislature's action had "kick- , -d over the political dope bucket." " What part the women of Richmond " -will have to play In the November city , election remains to be seen, for what - -wise man believes he can anticipate what a woman will do? "Votes for t women" may only double the number of votes cast without changing the po- ,.' Iltical situation; on the other hand the : .women voters may completely change ' the political situation. ';' There are some men who are try.tag to kid themselves Into the belief ".'that the men voters will Influence the
women voters and that the political situation will not be changed," said one hard-bitten veteran of many a
campaign today. "I repeat that they
-to believe that the best little influencIing sex In the world is the feminine. I wont be a bit surprised, and not the least bit worried, if the women "voters become the dominating -- political Oxrwer." Mrs. E. E. McDlvltt, president of ithe Women's Federation of Clnbs, Miss I Esther Cfrltfin White, chairman of the Sixth district Franchise League organization, Mrs. Harry Dalbey, secretary of the local Women's Franchise league, Mrs. R. W. Randle, secretary of the local W. C. T. U, and other prominent Richmond women, all expressed them- "' selves as greatly gratified over the passage of the suffrage law and predicted that Richmond women would take an active part In politics. : The law will not permit women to vote at the city primary election next month but they will be permitted to participate in the city election nextj November. j
It is believed that there are over ...6,500 Richmond women who will be qualified to participate in this election. The officers of the local Franchise League probably will call a -meeting to be held within a few days for the purpose of arranging for a celebration. ATTENDS STATE SESSION

Holly, aged 22, who has been making his home at a North Sixth street boarding house, now confined at Reid hospital as a result of a bullet wound, has informed Deputy Prosecutor Walter Lewis that he attempted to commit suicide while calling at the home of Erva Noggle, 2226 North F street. Today Lewis questioned the Noggle woman and Nellie Marker, said to be her niece, in regard to the shooting and they gave the same version of the affair as related by the wounded man. Holly has been separated from his wife for cbout six months, it is said. His wound is not fatal but after the shooting he believed he was going to die and dictated to the Noggle woman and Miss Marker a "farewell" letter to fcis wife, in which he stated that he had just shot himself and that he hoped she would never tell their baby
how he met his death. Used Small Calibre Gun Holly used a 22-calibre revolver, lie said that the first time he fired the bullet went wild. The second shot struck a rib, deflecting the bullet. The two women say they were in another
room when Holly attempted suicide. When they entered the room he was in they found him on the floor reachins: out for the revolver which had fallen from his hand. One woman kicked the gun out of his reach, Lewis was informed. They carried Holly to a bed and he dictated his supposedly dying message to the Noggle woman and to Miss Marker In turn. T.rv.is saws he has no information which would warrant making any arrests.

According to the Berlin dispatches, the bonds were being sent to New York in charge of a French courier when the steamship was halted by the German warship. Under the prize court ruling. Mme. Lebaudy and the other claimants will have to pay the costs of the trial. Lebaudy, known in Paris also as "the Little Sugar Plum," inherited $15,000,000 from his father, a wealthy sugar refiner. In 1903 he enlisted rifteen.men on his private yacht, sailed to Northwest Africa and there proclaimed himself Emperor of the Sahara.

He was captured and placed in the Kings Park Asylum, from which he was released in September of last year. Mrs. Lebaudy denies knowing anything about the bonds.

Continued from page One not be determined, today. Books show the safe contained $8,000 last night It is thought that a small part, less than $500, is fast under part of the inside door which rell over it. Officials made no effort to find the amount left because they had not received instructions from the insurance company. In addition to money taken, $300 worth of stamps belonging to the Greensfork postmaster was among the loot. Unsigned Greensfork First National bank notes amounting to $800 . were carried away. Money amounting to something over $100 which had been mutilated in
I the explosion was found scattered over j the floor. This may mean that the
luuuBis uirew away an uiimageu money but officials believe that practically all money in the safe was damaged by the over-charge. Trail'of Postage Stamps. Damaged postage stamps were found along the Hagerstown pike west. Sheriff Carr, loaded with all evidence, left this afternoon for Muncie to assist the police there in discovering the fugitives. Depositors of the bank when they learned of the robbery became greatly alarmed. Several have life savings in the trust. Excitement ran high when a rumor was spread that they would be the losers until, the cashier Raymond Deetor, made announcement that depositors had no cause for worry. Promissory notes and mortgages amounting to thousands of dollars which are also kept in the money safe were not disturbed by the intruders but were somewhat damaged by the explosion. One week ago, a strange man, about thirty-five years of age spent a day in Greensfork. He was described to the sheriff as being about five feet nine inches in heighth and weighing about 100 pounds. He wore a tight fitting brown overcoat. Man Returned Last Night. Last night this man was again seen in Greensfork. He was not there this morning. It is thought he was connected with the robbery. The men evidently started their work about 1:30 o'clock this morning. It was necessary for them to blow four doors and considerable time was required t6 cool the last two doors after the torch had been used, before the nitro-glycerin was placed. The last two explosions came during the heavy thunder storm but frightened citizens said the sounds and shocks of the explosions could be discerned from the claps of thunder. Immediately pictures of the actions of bank robbers in the Hagerstown and New Paris bank robberies flashed through the minds of women and they would not permit their husbands to run tn? risk of being targets. Whiskey bottles, contents of which were evidently used to stimulate the nerves of the burglars, were found near the bank. No containers for the explosives were found. Carefully placed electric wires were also left. The heavy iron gas tank, four and one-half feet long was the main piece of evidence and it is regarded by Sheriff Carr as likely
to lead to the arrest of the cracksmen. Heavy tools used In connection with the safe breaking were stolen from Greensfork blacksmith and and were left in the bank building. All men who worked on the safe, wore gloves, thus leaving the sheriff without any finger prints to work on. The time lock on the safe was set for eight o'clock this morning. The fact that a cannon-breach safe could be blown, came as a surprise to most persons. The safe was sold to the Greensfork bank company as absolutely unbreakable, but that was several years ago before the use of the acetylene torches became so general. These torches can In a short time burn holes througrfevery form of metal which has yet been discovered. Must Carry Heavy Iron Tank. The gas used is composed of hydrogen and carbon. The thing making It difficult for burglars to use is the fact that it is slow and that a heavy iron tank weighing over a hundred pounds must be used. When the final charge of nitro-glycerin was laid, it was necessary for the burglars to burn a hole through at least four inches of the hardest metal. Snaps the Heavy Bolts. The final explosion snapped off squarely one and one-half inch steel bolts holding the various sheaves in
the nine inch door together. The j clock works which is purposly placed j
inside the money box as far from in-
truders as possible was blown into a
thousand pieces. The whole town was shaken. It is likely that the old safe will be replaced by a modern screw type time combination safe to guarantee safety against intruders in the future. Federal authorities were asked this afternoon to watch for damaged money which the robbers evidently , have In their possession and which the government will likely be asked to replace. Officials of the bank are D. W. Harris, president; Philip Franzman, vice-president and R. A. Deeter, cashier. Practically all stockholders reside in Clay township.
