he favored prohibition ho thought the
bill unwise.
The crowd in tho gallery was larger
than yesterday, and at one timo was so
demonstrative in support of tho bill that
tho speaker ordered, the arrest of tho
people who were applauding. No arrests
were made, but quiet was restored.
The first amendment, providing for
ratification by the people, was lost, by a
voto of 07 to 92. A second of a similar
tenor was lost by 70 to 80. A third,
which provided for ratification and that

Chicago, Nov. 22.? A mooting of the
women who wish to honor Major G n
orals Joseph Wheelor and Fitzhugh Lvi
was held lasc evening in the parlors of
the Auditorium hotel.
Those interested in the project have
organized themselves into an association
called tho ' Loo uud Wheeler Movement"
and have elected officers as follows:
President?Miss Anna Mario doBeik
Secretary?Mrs. Louise Abbott.
At this meeting the "Wheeler and
Lee Movement" gained a great r.mptrtus.
Lotters were sent t ^ariug the day to
the members of cougrees asking them to
use their influenco in getting appointments
for Wheeler and Leo as major
generals of the regular army. During
tho session also tliero were read a number
of letters from women and men in
other states and cities and the letters
were ill variably accompanied with contributions
of material amounts.
Whatever the national subscription
may be, it is expected by tlic movers of
tho project that there will be a sufficient
fund to purchase a gift sword for each
of the war heroes. A $3,000 sabro for
each of tho men, Generals Wheeler and
Lee, is the hope and expectation of the
persons in charge. They argue that
these men of the nation, lighting ni(
they have fought under the folds of the*
American flag, deserve a tribute from
American jvomen both from tho north
and from the south.
The appeal was issued by the executive
committee of tho organization and
was mailed broadcast.
Following is tho text of tho ai pea : ^
"An appeal to tho women oi our
country to aid in securing the proper
recognition of tho patriotic and fearless
services of Major Generals Fi zhugh
Lee and Joseph Wheeler during our recent
war with Spain.
"At a meeting of tho women of Chi- j.
cago, assembled in tho Auditorium ho- '
tel, for tho purpose of carrying to comEletion
the work of properly rewarding 1
lajor Gonorals Fitzhugli Leo and JoBeph
Wheeler for their patriotic and
distinguished services, during aud siuco
our recent war with Spain,
"Resolved, That tho people in every
section of the country bo asked to circulate,
6igu and send' to their respective
representatives in congress a letter pray- t
ing that body to enact a law creating
two additional major generals for tho
regular army with tho request that tho
president appoint to the positions Major
Generals Fitzhugh Leo aud Joseph
Wheoler, so that, at the proper time,
they may be retired with full rank
honors and pay attached to tho exalted
rank. Be it farther
"Resolved, That tho people in every '
section be asked to subscribe to a fund
to be used in purchasing for each of the *
oflicers named a sword, which will for
generations be held as sacred heirlooms
by tho descendants of those distinguished
citizens, these funds to be raised
by properly organized local committees.
"
Tho Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
of tho city of Chicago, haviug generously
offerod to act as custodian of all
funds raised or to be raised, it was resolved
that nil funds bo sent direct to
tho bank, with tho words "Tho Lee and '
Wheoler Movement" written across tho
upper left baud corner of the envelope,
and that no other person have authority
to hold auy money whatever.
The appeal is signed by Miss An ue
Marie deBeck, president; Mrs. Loube
Abbott, secretary, aud Miss R. L Grady,
Miss Edith Spears and Miss Bjanche
Ensiminger, as tho committee.
The women in charge are exceedingly
hopeful for the success of their plan.
They will hold another meeting within

COLOR LINE IN NEW YORK.
Xfjrfts Cannot Send Iler Children ' '
to a Wliito School.
New York, Nov. "2i.?Tho appellate
division of the suproine court in Brooklyn
has donied tho appeal of Riizabeth
Cisco, a negress, from tho tleoision of tho
special term, refusing a peremptory writ I
of mandamus tocompol tho school board
of Queens borough to admit her children j
to the public school 011 Brent011 avenue, I
Jamaica, and make 110 distinction on
account of color. Mrs. Cisco claimed [ <
tho right to have her children accepted .
as pnpils iu the school in question, but 1
was told that thoy must go to a separate 1
sohool for negro children.
Justice Goodrich, writing the opinion
for tho appo'.iate division, says that the !
provision of tho constitution which provides
that equal school facilities shall
be furnished to all children cannot be |
hold to mean that the white children
and tho black children must be permit- '
ted to attond tho same schools.
As to the nuosnon of the excellence 1
of tho instruction in tho schools for no* j
gro children in comparison with tho
schools for whito children, Justice
Goodrich does not find that there is any ,
difference.
