The women announced they would " unite their efforts to have a constitu­ tional convention called at an early date. The full right of suffrage could only be granted through a change in tile state's basic law. Under the equal suffrage act, passed by the last legislature, women cannot vote for state officials, members of the legislature, members of congress, po­ lice magistrates or other constitutional offices. The new law granted them the vote on questions of public policy and for president and city officials. "The next step for the women of Illi­ nois," said Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president of the Illinois Equal Suf­ frage association, "is to agitate for a constitutional convention so that our aen may give us the privilege and tight to vote in national affairs. The women should agitate this every­ where." ^v'Full suffrage undoubtedly is the •ra^rt ctep for the women of Illinois," ' said Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen, president of the Chicago Equal suffrage associa­ tion. "We can have no hope of getting It until a constitutional convention is called and the women may help ma­ terially in creating the sentiment for , such a convention by talking and agi­ tating it" / The Anti-Saloon League of Illinois, "through its superintendent, P. Scott lfcBride, announced that the enact­ ment of a law whereby the state would vote on the saloon question by coun­ ties instead of by townships would be jpade the chief issue in the legislative campaign this fall. State Debt Is Low. -Preliminary statistics of national and • -Mate indebtedness and investments between 1880 and 1913, gathered by the United States census bureau at Washington, D. C., made public, show that the bonded indebtedness of Illi­ nois was remarkably low throughout k the entire period. "The special debt obligations to pub- lie trust funds increased steadily," the -.report says, "from $1,165,000 in 1890 to $1,814,000 in 1912. The floating debt fluctuated with each year reported, but shows a decrease from $626,000 in 1880 Jo $441,000 in 1912. ' a «|n case of funds and invest- • • iSBenta the securities consisted of funds 's^et aside to cover the special debt ob­ ligations to public trust funds, and therefore these two items were ident­ ical in each year reproted. The cash ^changes naturally from year to year, ^through comparing the amounts of 1390 and 1912, show there was an In- V iCTease of $1,054,000. . - "No sinking fund assets as such were "recorded in any year, thus leaving the '? 4fchbt less sinking fund assets the same /is the total debt. Although the debt '•Xt the Btate increased steadily during ' the 30 years, the population Increased / -^sufficiency to reduce the per eapita in­ debtedness. : VV "In contrast with the state of Illi­ nois, we find that, taking the entire .<^debt (less sinking fund assets) for the ; :4S states, the per capita, according to '•the latest report, is $3.52, or $3.13 • . ',more than the per capita debt of 1111- itols. Comparing the decrease in the capita debt of Illinois and the 48 ' ̂ states for the 30-year period, $5.48 fell to $3.52 in the average for the 48 ; "states, and $0.47 to $0.39 in Illinois. ? :i;i ^ "At the present time about 6.1 per }("' qent of the total population of the 1if# United States will be found in the - ^ State of Illinois and 0.7 per cent of the ^r-:;«ptal debt (less sinking fund assets) >;6 attributed to that stata.** Many Pass Civil Service Test. v Twenty-eight men passed the dvtl service examination for the one posi­ tion of road engineer for the state highway commtlalon.

Gov. Edward F. Dunne is sparing no effort to enthuse the farm boys of Illinois in making the best possible effort in corn growing. The value of the yearly oorn crop of Illinois, according to the late Unit­ ed States census, was $298,350,496, which exceeds the total of wheat $38,000,712), oats ($59,688,818), hay and forage ($40,560,320), all vege­ tables ($16,300,564), fruits and nuts ($5,414,594) and all other crops ($12,- 471,904), grown in Illinois the. same year 1909.

The governor of Illinois has care­ fully studied the crop statistics of this state, and fnlly realizes that the value of the yearly corn crop of this state exceeds the combined yearly value of all the other crops by nearly twenty-six million dollars, or $25,- 908,592.

Tokyo, Japan, April 11.--Folk)wing a long Illness, the dowager empress of Japan died at her palace at Nazuma on Thursday. The emperor and empress and other members of the royal family had been summoned to the bedside. The dow­ ager empress had been ill for some time. She was born in 1860. All the - theaters have been closed and it is probable that the emperor's coronation, which had been arranged for November 10, will be postponed. Court officials began to make arrange­ ments for the state funeral. Brlght's disease was the direct cauge of death. .Emperor Musuhlto, husband of the dowager empress, died on July 30, 1912. The Dowager Empress Haruko is not the mother of the present Em- perm* Yoshihlto, although she is the first wife in rank of hie father, the late Emperor Mutsuhito. To the lat­ ter were allowed 12 wives, according to the old Japanese law, no longer in force. The present emperor is the son of one of the secondary wives of Mut­ suhito. Empress Haruko had one son, who died at birth, but he was devoted to the other children of the emperor and gave them all the attention of a real mother.

Mayo Addresses Fore* most 8urgeons of the Coun­ try at New York, Jfe'w York. April 14.--All hope ^ of curing cancer by radium has been abandoned' by some of the foremost surgeons,and research workers of the country, who declared at the meeting of the American Society for the Con­ trol of Cancer. that the failures pi radium outnumber the cures 100 1. That nothing is of avail against the most dreaded disease but the speedy use of the knife was the opinion ad­ vanced by Dr. William H. Mayo of Rochester, Minn. Operation is the only cure, but ra­ dium or ray treatment is in order as a temporary palliative where opera­ tion is impossible, according to Dr. Francis G. Wood, director of cancer research at Columbia university. Fail­ ures from radium outnumber the cures 100 to 1, he stated. Another genera­ tion will be required to furnish knowl­ edge on the real cause and actual na­ ture of cancer, he said. Experiments for 35 centuries show that heredity plays a small part, if a!ny at .all, in its appearance. It was expected that the members of the society would have something hopeful to report. Instead they admit­ ted no progress and held out little hope. They united in saying they had discovered neither the cause nor the nature of cancer. Theq they proved by statistics that cancer Is on the increase. That a change in the habits and customs may reduce the disease to some extent was a ray of hope held out by Dr. Mayo, who also said any cancer could be cured If operated upon in its early stages. "If we could only tell how to avoid it I would be glad, because I am frank to admit that we do not know," he declared. He said the statement that the use of meat was one of the habit* to be avoided In connection with can­ cer prevention had been!' wnmgly at­ tributed to him. !

Y., April 14.--Without making any confession, i:he four young New York "gunmen," condemned for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, were electrocuted in Sing Sing prison Monday morning. The victims and the time of their execution 'were as follows: Frank Cirofici, alias "Dago Frank," 5:38 to 5:44. *••• Jacob Seidenschner, alias "Frank Mullef" and "Whitey Lewis," 5:48 to 5:53. ' Harry Horowitz, atlaa "Qjp tl»e Blood," 5:57 to 6:02. v-*•- Louis Rosenberg, «Um /"Left* l^ouie," 6:08 to 6:1?. • ? Seidenschner was tKe only member of the quartet to make a statement. After being strapped In the death chair be began to deny his guilt but the electric current was turned on in the middle of his speech and he died with the words upon his lips. The quadruple execution passed off without a hitch, all the condemned men being buoyed up with the spir­ itual consolation which was adminis­ tered continually during the closing hours of their lives. Cirofici went to the chair with a cruciflc in each hand shouting prayers and chanting over and over again: "God have mercy!" Rosenberg and Horowitz prayed In ' Jewish and even as the current was turned into their bodies their lips moved In their final petition. Mrs. Mary Cirofici, mother of "Dago Frank," who has led the fight in be­ half of her son and the other con­ demned man, arrived at the prison a few hours before the executions, after having made a final but futile plea to Governor Glynn at. Albany for executive clomcncy. New York, April 14.-r-The last l^pe of the four gunmen was blasted Sat­ urday. Supreme Court Justice John- W. Golf, to whom a ^taial appeal for a new trial had been made, declined to reopen the case. At a prolonged hearing Jnstlce Goff, who was the presiding judge at the trial of the gunmen, listened to the testimony of new witnesses produced' at the last moment by counsel for the doomed men. . District Attorney Whitman, who ar­ rived Atom Chicago a short time be­ fore the hearing, was amply prepared with witnesses to meet the testimony offered. His cross examination appar­ ently riddled much of the evidence, destroyed its value where it ditt not put the witness himself on th'e de­ fensive.

Rosenthal had caused the gambling world of tho Metropolis to quake with terror by hlB conference with the dis­ trict attorney, ,Charles S. Whitman. His promised . confessions were a sequel to a gambling war, in which the other underworld interests had tried to drive him from the fat. field of the upper tenderloin. Bomb out­ rages, slaying and assaults had marked this conflict. Believing he was to be deserted by Charles Becker, police lieutenant in charge of a "strong arm squad" and a partner in the Rosenthal gambling house, the desperate man was now about to ex­ pose the whole illegal conspiracy of police and crime. The gambler'was sitting in the Met- ropole about 2 o'clock in the morning of July 16, 1912. A man entered and aelied him to come outside. Lurking in the shadows were "Bridsiey" Weber, "Bald Jack" Rose and Harry Vallon. Near by stood a motor car with en­ gine running. The policemen sup­ posed to be on station near by had been lured away. In the glare of bright lights and within 100 feet of Times square four young men shot Rosenthal to death and leaped into the motor, car. A fifth man also entered. It is said by some, and urged the driver onward by hold­ ing a revolver to his head and strik­ ing him. The car disappeared in the direction of Fifth avenue. •. -- ^ ev a"' Speaker Clark to Lectured .^ Washington, April 13.--Speaker Champ Clark left Washington for At­ lantic* City to deliver a lecture at the seaside town.

I was literally starving; was so weak I could not Bit up long at a time. "It was then a friend brought mp a hot cup of Postum.
