P SIDENT IS HISSED WHILE MAKING SPEECH Addresses National Woman's Suff rage Association and Is Hissed by Crowd When He Says He Does Not Believe That All Women Wat' Ballot. WOMEN DECLARE THAT DELEGATES DIDNT DO IT Action Gave the "Cause" Werse Set back It Has Received In Many a Day Taft Says All Women Ds Net Want Ballet. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 15. Suffragists and others interested in their movement todar agree that hiss ing President Taft last night whoa ha addressed tho convention ot the Na tional Woman Suffrage association Is one of the worst set-backs the "cause" has received In many a day. Dr. Anna Shaw, an officer of the association, today declares that the hissing was done by outsiders and that the delegates took no part In It. At any rate, the Incident has open ed unpleasantly tho convention, aud it Is being discussed on all aides to day. Tho mark of disfavor greeted the president when ho declared that If suffragette should be granted it would be exorcised by tho "least desir able element." Taft declared that not all women were Interested la the movement, and not all ot them de sired the ballot. Then the hissing started, and It took somo tlmo for the presiding of ficer, Mrs. Rachol Foster Avery, to restore order so that tho address might contluue. Although the hall -was quieted and the president finished his address, the affair has left an unfavorable impres sion. It Is expected that the dele gates themselves will take official no tice of It and that they will decry the occurrence. The affair, howover, In spite of the statement of Mrs. Shaw, and others connected with the association that the hissing was tho work ot outsid ers, has reacted against the movement anad given those who oppose the movement hero a chance for criticism, which they havo been quplck to solze upon. The mark of disrespect to the chief executive Is tho subject of more discussion than any other feature of the convention. SELLS OUT ADDITION WITHIN TWELVE HOURS: Who Runs Ashland? move .on. gathorcd.
