SOUTHERN WOMAN SPEAKS That Ballot Is Not Wanted by Dixie lair Sex Denied in IVrvetit Ad dress of Alabama I.eudcr. Convention Is Opened. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1. Enthusiasm over reports on what already has byen accomplished by the woman suffrage movement, and even greater enthusl asm over prophecies of what the future will bring forth, marked the formal npenlns sessions here today of the forty-fifth annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. In calling to order the delesrats from all over the country. ir. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the or- canlration. said: The time is past whn we say nlease let women vote. This nas Deen changed to we demand an amendment to the Fsderal Constitution enfranchis ing: women." " RJjckt Denaad Cied. The victories already gained, she as sorted, meant that women now had a ricrht to make such demands. The nilnols suffrage victory this ear was celebrated tonight, six "speakers from that state telllnsr how the result had been accomplished. All the speeches were grreeted with long upplause. The annual address by President Shaw and one by Miss Lucy Burns, of this city, on -National Amendment" were also on the night programme. Three street meetings In various parts of the city were held, as will be done every day during1 the convention. "Every delegate here will have an equal right to vote and to speak." Dr. Shaw announced in opening the con vention. "We will have democratic freedom here. The convention is vours. women. Let us proceed to busi ness." snd the work of the week was ftarted. First Day's Work Smooth. The first day's session ran as smoothly as an observatory clock. Without a hitch or a eetay or a single change in the programme, speeches if welcome and responses, reports of various committees, addresses and other business held the convention's attention. The purple and yellow flags of the various state suffrage societies deco rated the walls cf the hall, while In the center hung a great banner de manding in letters of gold the "amend ment to the Federal Constitution en franchising women." Xi greater reception was given to any- speaker than to Mrs. Patty A. Jacobs, of Birmingham. Ala-, when she said that It was an "indictment of the Southern woman's Intellect." to say that she did not want the ballot. She was responding to the welcome to the convention by Mrs. Nina Allendare and Miss Alice Paul, of this city. Southern States Stlrrlag. "The women of Virginia, Louisiana, j Tennessee. Kentucky. Florida, North Carolina, Alabama." continued Mrs. Jacobs. "In fact in all the Southern States, are stirring, are realizing the vote Is the only honorable, dignified and sure means of securing recognition of their aspirations and of their needs. "I would not have you Infer, how ever, that this great National associa tion is composed only of Southerners: It knows no section, for It embraces not only the great white West and the whitening East, but the gray states of the North. In its ranks are women following the vision of their souls. from sweatshops and drawing-room, from factory and office, from school and home: women who. with long hours and scant pay. are yet unwilling to stand still and let this great world movement pass them by for they would see their daughters have the fighting chance denied them: women of leisure, whose souls burn to equal ise some of the hideous unfairness of life: a vast army of women, awake to the spirit of the age In which we live, an ace vibrant with social conscious ness." The convention admitted delegates from North Carolina and South Caro lina, although the organizations from those states had not yet formally been accepted Into the National association. Dr. Shaw said the convention would reserve the theory of present marriage laws of the country and make it easy to come into the convention, but hard to get out. f.overnsaeot Ownership Wanted. Government ownership of railroads was suggested as a result of woman suffrage when Miss Marie V. Smith, of New York, reported that difficulty had been found In getting reduced railroad fares for delegates. Dr. Shaw ex claimed, "when we vote, we'll own the railroads." Suffrage legislation has been intro duced or passed in various states thla year on an unprecedented scale, ac cording to the report of Mrs. Mary W. Dennett, of New Tork. corresponding secretary. Glorification of municipal life, re form of the schools. Jails, poorhouses and saloons and a feminine Influence In settling National and International problems all this was prophesied for Illinois in an address delivered at the convention tonight by Mrs. Ella If. Stewart, cf Chicago. Prediction la Made. "Without prophesying too much." she said, "we have faith to believe that the torch which has been lighted for Illinois women will illuminate some of the dark places of government. It will cleanse and glorify municipal life and srudo Illinois children into safer paths. "We hope that votes for women will Immediately Institute a day when schoolhouscs shell be as sanitary as hospitals, beautiful and well equipped no more 30 or J41-a-month teachers but such salaries as a grateful state should pay Its most Important serv ants. "This section also gives women a vote on the licensing of saloons and In every such election In Illinois so fr there has been a demonstration of the antiseptics of the women's vote. They apparently have needed no coaching- ordinance which will establish a new standard for the supply and will pro vite restrictions which can be en forced by Meat Inspector Stlikncy and his assistant, who has not been ap pointed as yet. "I am desirous of getting an ordi nance which will be fair to all and yet will make it possible for us to krep absolute tab on the city's meat supply and prevent the importation of un clean or unfit meat." said Dr. Marcel lus yesterday. "There Is an ordinance on the books at present, but It has never been enforced. It is considered to be out of date." Mr. Stickney is 53 years old and a property owner of Portland.

Borah, Works and Ssaoot Oppose Aet oa Groand Reservoir Woald Mar Tart of Teaesalte National Park WASHINGTON. Dec 1. San Fran cisco's need for authority to use part of the Hetch-Hetchy Valley in Yo- scmlte National Park for a city water supply reservoir was urged on the Senate today at the fight for the pas sage of the Raker bill, passed by tho House last Summer, beginning with tS.i new session of Congress.

Senator Myers, chairman of tho pub lic lands committee, said them was a pressing emergency" in California, and that "comfort and safety of human life depended on the action of Con gress In giving tho city the oppor tunity it seeks to begin work on a new source of city water supply. Chief objections to the bill, voiced by Senators Borah, Works. Smoot and others, were that the irrigation water users In that valley could not share tho supply necessary to meet San Frr.n ctsco's new needs, and that other sources of supply were equally avail able to the city. A report distributed through the Sen ate Juts before debate began criticising the Baker bill and recommending use of the Eel River and Putah Creek re gion was attacked by Senator Pittnian, who produced letters from H. M. Mc Donald, of San Francisco, to show that George S. Nickerson. tho engineer who recommendod this project, waa cm ployed by McDonald to make tho sur vey undr an agreement contemplating the selliug of certain rights to the city. Army engineers who studied San Francisco's water problems recom mended the establishment of a system having Its baao in a reservoir In tho Hetch-Hotchy Valley.

"Two weeks later- I was astonished to have a dealer come to Philadelphia and submit to me for sale the missing manuscripts. Having an aversion to the possession of property of a cer tain class I refused to consider them as any possible possession of my own. priceless though they are: but here they are sold as merchandise in the market place and in my possession. but with a purpose which I am sure you will approve. "These manuscripts, after the death of Burns, were tiie property of Bon nie Jean. tne only lent them to Dr. Currln. who wrote a life of the poet: and those who came after him had no stronger title to them. To whom, do they now belong, but to Scotland. whose chief possession now Is the glory of her immortal son?" Mr. Grlbbel explained that he had not yet decided to which institution in Scotland the manuscripts should be presented, but that he had communi cation with Lord Roseberry, who had been active last Summer on the com mittee of Scots who were attempting to prevent the sale of the volumes.
