NEAL WOMEN OF MEXICO DEMAND RIGHT TO VOTE The men wore put into the C1 o<lfrey car and taken as far as the James McGranor home, where John had recovered sufficiently to proceed to his home on foot. James, however, had some ribs broken, and this morning; it had not been discovered whether he was injured internally or not. John McGranor is about this morning, but is badly bruised. John McGranor was struck and knocked to one side, but James was run over by the machine. The former was badly bruised, and the latter lost, consciousness, it being some time before he regained his senses. The two men were walking along the road between Heynoldsville and Kathmel, when they stepped to one side of the road to permit an automobile belonging to Dr. J. C. Sayres, of Heynoldsville, to pass by. Coming in the other direction was the Godfrey .car. The men apparently had not noticed the Godfrey car behind, and must, have mistaken the warning toots of the horn as coming from the Sayres machine, as they made no effort to get out of the way. Although the car was being driven very slowly, for some reason the chauffeur could not stop the machine and the two men were run down. John and James Medranor, <»f Ratlnncl, had a narrow escape from serious, if not fatal, Injury yesterday when tiiey were run down by an automobile belonging to Mrs. Tillie Godfrey, of Iteynoldsville.* Contract Let For South Penn St. Bridge Timbers Tlir victim is only -1 years of ago, both being miners at the Helvetia mint s Report t'r<»m t t> ft«» i»iI <1 last evening staled that • he condition of Knrnt/, \va bettor than had been exported last, evening:, but tlia) there i till great danger of de.nh. due to peritonitis.

GROSSER CHICAGO, June 27.—Mona Rees, high priestess of llio cult of the absolute life, resumed the witness stand today In her efforts to savcTOvelyn Arthur See, the godman, from Jollet prison. It seems there is no sacrifice the girl is unwilling to make. She announced before she took the witness stand that she would do anything to save the preceptor. The girl is not as strong a witness as Mildred Bridges. Mona Reee was nervous and lacked selfpossession. She also seemed fatigued as she took the stand today, her face being deadly whJte. (By United Press At one time he was in close conference 011 the floor with Mr. Penrose, and Smoot, of the stand-pat crowd, and Senator Bacon, of Georgia. When the vote was linally taken, however, lie \yas evidently still afraid that some one would demand a yea and nay vote, for ho hurried through the formula with unaccustomed speed and Quickly recognized Mr. Curtis, of Kansas, who promptly moved adjournment. As far as could be judged from the galleries the vote against the amendment came mostly from the Democratic side, though many Republicans. Including regulars pladged to the Present to defeat all amendments and Wsurgents opposed to reciprocity In any form, voled with tlicni. 1 he vote for Hie amendment was scattering, Imi apparently stronger than had been expected. Though the fate of I lie Root amendment has been conceded by its author for over a week, its filial disposition is interesting In that it leaves the way open for the direct light on reciprocity itself and on I ho amendments in the nature of general revision that the Insurgents will offer to it. The fact that a vote was taken on the Root amendment, bowever, does not Indicate a wllllngness on the part of insurgents to vole promptly on the measures  the Democrats may propose. The sallenl features of the tangled Senate situation remain unchanged. Tomorrow Mr. Penrose, as a lest, will ask unanimous consent Hint reciprocity lie voted on on July 2-1, coupled with votes on the woo en bill on July 2«. and on Hie free list on July 28, but be knows in advance that consent will be refused. The failure of the Senate, after the long tight that has waged over the amendment, t»> demand a record vote was due to the active efforts of Vice President Sherman to prevent a ollcall. Leaving the chair to Mr. Heyburn and other Senators, he circulated about the chamber urging upon members on both sides of the aisle the Heedlessness of putting Senators on record as supporting the doomed amendment. The vote is considered a victory f«>r tariff revision, the more so as many of the Senators who spoke and voted against the Root amendment had for a tlem contemplated voting for it simply to jeopardize final passage.The measure, which was drafted by the New York Senator to restore the 1)111 to the technical language "f the avreement, was in reality aimed at nullifying for an Indefinite period nil that the House bill accomplishes toyard the free Importation .of print paper and wood pulp into the country.WASHINGTON, June -7.—I'nder a unanimous consent agreement lite Senate late yesterday afternoon, after six hours spent in debate, voted on the Hoot amendment to the reciprocity bill, and defeated it by a viva voce vote.

After all th>• trans Atlantic lines had made comcssUlni to the man and settled the trouble, the shipping federatlon, controlling 90 per cent of the freighter trade in tlreat Britain decided to light to the end. The challenge was accepted and tonight representatives of one hundred thousand transport workers will meet adn will probably order an immediate walkout.
