Suffragists on Enlisting

Si APPEAL TO CONGRESS HAD
X
3 1 House C'ommiltcc Asked Not to
Dodce Vote on Suffrage Amend
ment, but Give Iteasons for De
nying Franchise to Women.
WASHINGTON, April 20. Two of
the "old line leaders" in the National
Suffrage Association convention yes
terday refused to follow the adminis
tration. Because of opposition to cer
tain policies of Rev. Iir. Anna 11. Shaw,
president of the organization, Mrs. Ra
rhael Foster Avery, first vice-president,
and Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, treas
urer, resigned their positions.
The resignations were offered at a
meeting of the executive committee.
Both Mrs. Avery and Mrs. Upton con
sented to serve one month longer, but
declared their successors must be ap
pointed by that time.
Society Lenders Wanted.
Miss Shaw is strongly for having
prominent society women and women
of wealth identified actively with the
suffrage work, while the two "insur
gents," it is said, are opposed to this
policy..
Respoctful attention was given the
speakers when they appeared yester
day before the judiciary committee of
the House to urge their cause. The
committee was urged to vote on the
proposition, the suffragists indicating
they would prefer unfavorable action
to no action.
Committee Asked to Act.
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, of Ohio,
had no little fun with the House com
mittee by begging it to report against
the resolution' providing for a consti
tutional amendment allowing women
to vote. She said she represented
merely "wifehood and household," and
that she was "one of the best house
keepers in thecoom."
"Gentlemen," she asked, smilingly,
"why don't you report against this
resolution and give us your reasons
for It? We know you are not going
to vote in favor of it. We know also
you are not going to vote against us.
You are Just going to do nothing at
all. You .certainly are riot afraid of
us. We have no votes and cannot hurt
you. Please, then, vote against us and
tell us why you do It. Please, gentle
men, won't you do this? This Is all
we ask and it is not very much."
FLYING STICKS KILL TWO
Kajmond Mill Men, Thought Not
Badly Hurt, Expire.- -
- RAYMOND, Wash., April 20. (Spe
cial.) Of the comparatively few acci
dents occurring In Raymond mills, two
of the most peculiar happened last
rTuursday. John Clifford, blacksmitb
at the Clerln-Hamilton mill, was
struck on the head by a small piece
"of wood from the fuel saw as he was
passing that part of the mill. Hector

the stomacli by a large piece of wood
from the lath saw at the Raymond
Lumber Company's mill.
Neither of the men seemed seriously
hurt, both were able to walk about and
there were no marks showing on the
surface.. Mr. Clifford lapsed into un
consciousness and died at the hospital
the following day. Mr. Frazier grew
worse and was operated upon at the
hospital, where it was found that his
stomach and Intestines were so. badly
injured that there was no hope of re
covery. He died on Sunday morning
and will be buried from the Methodist
Church today. He is survived by his
wife and a grown son.
The body of Mr. Clifford was taken
In charge by the Order of Eagles and
his body was Bent to Iloquiam for interment.
LIFEBOAT DRIFTS AFAR
Santa Clara Property Found 100
Miles From Wreck Scene.
RAYMOND, Wash., April 20. (Spe
cial.) The steam schooner Grays Har
bor, Captain Anfinson, arrived from
San Francisco this morning, having on
board one of the lifeboats belonging
to the Santa Clara,' which was wrecked
on Humboldt Bar recently. The boat
is 26 feet long and contained a pair
of rubber boots, umbrella, man's belt
and pair of trousers and the handle of
a grip. It also had three oars lashed
to the side.
The boat evidently had been used
to convey passengers from the wrecked
vessel to the rescuing boats, and a pe
culiar feature was that the boat was
picked, up about 100 miles from the site
of the wreck at a point five miles from
Bear Harbor. To make this journey,
the boat had traveled around Cape
Mendocino in a direction almost at
right angles with the wind. .
The boat Is in good condition, and
Captain Anfinson is keepinng it and
the articles found therein for any possible-
purpose of identification.

liance, according to- an announcement
made in New York last night. They
have incorporated jointly a company
with 11,000,000 capital stock, with Mr.

ABERDEEN FIGHTS WATER
Rate Too High and Investigating
Board Is Appointed.
ABIiRDERN', "Wash.. April 20. (Spe
cial.) Declaring that the rate charged
by the city for water is too high, and
that it greatly exceeds that of other
cities of the same size, various mem
bers of the Aberdeen Chamber of Com
merce demanded an investigation of
the system last night.
At a meeting of the organization a
committee was appointed by President
H'utnbarger to act with the city water
committee and Superintendent Mac
Dougal as an investigating board.
The objection to the rate is raised
by the mill companies operating in the
city, who say they are charged exorbi
tant rates for the use of the city serv
ice. Chief among the claimants is C.
A. Lomie, of the Union Cooperage Com
pany. In a brief address to the Cham
ber of Commerce, Superintendent Mac
Dougal explained that the water rate
was fixed by a sliding scale whereby
the more water used the less the pro
portionate rate. Under 1000 cubic
yards and over 40,000 cubic yards, the
rate is flat and in this lies the chief
objections of the kickers. It was al
leged that no sinking fund was in ex
istence, as provided by law to cover
the indebtedness on the city water
plant.- but this was disproved by the
statement of Mayor Benn.

Daughters of Revolution Con
vention Is Stormy.
ALL WANT TO TALK AT ONCE
Circular Condemnnig Mrs. Scott for
Discharging Clerk Causes Storm.
Mrs. Scott Declines to Run
for Re-EIectlon as Chief.
WASHINGTON. , April 20. A storm
broke In the 16th Continental Congress
of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution today and the administration
forces were su-stanied in their first
skirmish with the opposition.
The contest centered around Miss Mary
R. Wiicox, recording secretary-general,
who, after a'parliamentary wrangle, was
censured by the congress for issuing a
circular criticising Mrs. Matthew T.
Scott, president -general of the society,
for the dismissal of Miss Agnes Gerald, a
clerk at Continental Hall for alleged in
subordination. The question of disciplining Miss Wil
cox was presented to the convention by
Mrs. Scott in1 her report as chairman of
the National board of management. In
stantly there was a chorus of voices
claiming recognition of the chair. Fi
nally, Mrs. John C. Ames, of Illinois, was
recognized, and she moved the board's
recommendation be adopted.
This was a signal for pandemonium.
Miss Wilcox endeavored to read a state
ment defending her course, but--was de
clared but of order after she had al
ready .discussed the subject of the board's
resolution and -not Mrs. Ames' motion. A
parliamentary wrangle ensued, and the
convention was thrown into confusion.
Leaders of both factions were on their
feet, and motions and countermotions
came from all sections of the hall.
The parliamentarian of the society fi
nally was called to the rescue and, when
order was restored. Miss Wilcox said if
she had offended the president person
ally or the society she was sorry, but she
had only tried to right what she believed
to be a wrong. For the last part of the
remark she was again declared, out of
order. The motion of censure then was
passed. .
In her report as chairman of the board
of management Mrs. Scott announced she
would not be a candidate for re-election.
Mrs. Scott presented the report of the
Memorial Continental Hall committee,
which was followed by contributions to
the building fund. A total of $21,000 was
received.
A report of the treasurer-general
showed the society had a balance on hand
on March 31 of $55,338.
REPUBLICANS FIND EXCUSE
Democrtas Delighted, and Regard
Havens' Victory Party Triumph.
WASHINGTON, April 20. Although
Democratic members of Congress call
the Rochester election yesterday a par
ty triumph, indicative of Democratic
victory throughout the country next
November, Republicans held the per
sonal side of the two candidates was
the leading factor in the result.
They declare the tariff issue was of
minor Importance when it is considered
Havens was running against a man
who had acknowledged the receipt of
$1000 from an agent of the Are insur
ance companies and was charged with
opposing the Hughes administration.
"It was a question of men, not of
party that brought about Aldrldge's
downfall," declared Sereno E. Payne,
majority leader of the House, tonight!
"The tariff had nothing to- do with the
result."
When the announcement of the
Havens victory was conveyed to W. J.
Bryan just before he took a train "for
the West last night, he expressed deep
satisfaction.
"It is very significant," he said,
"not only as a rebuke to the Republi
can party on the whole, but because
it goes to show Republicans are dis
playing a will and intention to register
theirprotests against candidates, when
those candidates are not personally
satisfactory."
, "The result in the Rochester dis
trict," said Champ Clark, minority
leader In the House, "with the results
in the sixth Missouri and the 14th
Massachusetts districts, proves con
clusively the country Is disgusted with
the Republican Administration and the
Republican Congress and propose to
overthrow them."
W. R. Hearst heard the news here
last night with unconcealed delight.
"I am very much delighted," he said.
"Being somewhat of an independent in
politics myself, I am glad tu see the
Independent vote gaining in strength
and am convinced Mr. Aldridge was de
feated largely by independent Republicans."
PROTEST OREGON SCORES
Whitman' and Idaho Make Charges
Against Umpire Bingham.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGS, Corvallis, April 20. (Special.)
Two baseball games won by the Uni
versity of Oregon have been protested
on the grounds of illegal decisions on
the part of .Umpire Bingham. The
protests, -which have been filed with
Director Angell, come from Whitman
College and from the University of
Idaho. . . ,
Whitman represents that Bingham
made two flagrant errors in decisions
which made possible the one tally by
which Oregon won the second game of
the series. It Is represented that the
runner who scored was allowed to go
from first to second on a bunted ball
which was booted by the batter on his
way to first base and that he was
allowed to score on a throw to home
plate, which was blocked by the um
pire. The charge is also made that the
umpire was under the influence of
liquor while officiating.
Idaho states that the umpire was
unfair and incompetent and cites sev
eral particulars. They state that they
were compelled to withdraw- from the
field.
The protests will be considered by
the board of directors.

THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER.
Women Believe That Municipal
Dance May Save Her.
Rheta Child Dorr In Hampton's.
Every small town has Its girl and
boy problem; every countryside its
tragedy of the girl who goes to the
city 'and never returns. It is strange
that nowhere, until lately, in city, town
or country, has it occurred to any one
that the community owed" anything to
the Insatiable thirst for joy.
"Women have recognized the debt, and
they are preparing to pay it. In this
latest form of .social service they have
entered a battlefield where the powers
of righteousness have ever fought a
losing fight. Men have grappled with
the problem without success. Women
believe that they have discovered an
altogether new way in which to fight
the evil. They propose to turn against
It its own most powerful weapons. The
Joy of life is to be fed with proper
food instead of poison.
In Chicago the campaign has begun
superbly. Fourteen of the city parks
are provided with municipal dancehalls,
the first in the United States. These
halls are housed in spacious buildings
with perfect floors, good light and ven
tilation. Any group of young people
are at liberty to secure a hall, rent
free, for dancing parties. The city Im
poses only one condition, that the
dances be chaperoned by park super
visors. Beautifully decorated 'with
growing plants from the park green
houses, the municipal dance halls are
scenes of gaiety almost every night in
the year. Restaurants in connection
with the halls furnish good food at low
prices. . Of course, no liquor is sold.
Nobody wants It. This Is proved by the
fact that saloon dance halls In the
neighborhood of the parks have been
deserted by their old patrons.
In many cities, women's clubs and
women's societies are establishing on
a small scale amusement and recrea
tion centers for young people. In New
York, Miss Virginia Potter and her col
leagues In the Association of Working
Girls' Clubs have opened a .public dance
hall. The use of the large gymnasium
of the Manhattan Trade School for
Girls was secured, and every Saturday
evening from 8 urrtil 11 young people
come in and dance to excellent music,
under the instruction, if they need it, of
a skilled dancing master. A small fee
is charged, partly to attract a class
of people who disdain philanthropy and
settlements. As many as 200 couples
have been admitted in an evening.

SWIFT FOUND GUILTY
FIRST CO'ICTIOX OBTAINED
IX GRAFT PROSECUTIONS.
Pittsburg Jury Returns Verdict
Against ex-Councilman, but
Recommends Mercy.
PITTSBURG, April 20. Guilty as
indicted, with a recommendation for
extreme mercy from the court, was
the verdict returned yesterday in the
case of ex-Councilman M. L. Swift, Jr.,
the first of the victims of the graft
scandal put on trial on the charge of
bribery. The Jury was out one hour
and 45 minutes.
Attorney Marshall, for the defense.
announced a hew trial would be asked.
Assistant District Attorney W. E. Sey
mour last night said Judge Frazer had
signified his intention of considering
the ' recommendation for mercy and
also that the District Attorney's office
would not oppress Swift. Mr. Seymour
further said that the Immunity bath
is still open to those "small Council
men" who appear at the District At
torney's office and tell all they know
of the graft syndicate.
The chief witness for the common
wealth was John F. Klein. The de
fense relied mainly on the attempt to
break down Klein's testimony and the
verdict becomes a most important one
for the prosecution, because it indi
cates the District Attorney may rely
on the confession of Klein as the main
stay in the prosecution of other cases.
Immediately after the Swift case
had been disposed of, ex-Councilman
A. V. Simon was called, but his coun
sel pleaded illness of his client and
asked for . a continuance. Prosecutor
Seymour unexpectedly called a physi
cian who had examined Simon at noon
and said he was not seriously 11 L.
Counsel was ordered to produce his
client for trial this morning. Six other
Councllmen will be called for trial today.

OLYMPIA, Wash., April 20. (Spe

protesting vigorously because the crew
of the 'steamer Multnomah has been
counted by census enumerators as resi
dents of Seattle.
The members of the crew are said to

some of them are registered voters of

refuse to count them for Olympia.
. TONE IS THE FIRST
ESSENTIAL OF A PIANO
Yet some pianos are constructed so poorly that the tone does not outlast the first few
months' wear.
Although the piano may sound well on the day when you try it, it soon loses all the
resonance and mellow quality which endows an instrument with musical value.
IN EVERY ONE OF THE FAMOUS PIANOS SOLD
BY THE WILEY B. ALLEN CO. "
A lasting tone is assured by the careful workmanship and excellent materials which
go into the making. -
With the MASON & IIAMLIN, it is a significant fact that this great piano, although
the highest-priced instrument in the world, and is assailed by the strongest competition
ever known in the music industry, is in such great demand today that orders are booked
.for future delivery. i
TUB HARDMAN for nearly three-quarters of a century has held a distinguished place
among pianos of the world's few recognized great piano makers. "With scarcely an ex
ception, the leading artists of the Metropolitan and Manhattan Opera-houses have all
selected the HARDMAN for their OWN use in their OWN homes.
It is the tone-purity of the KBAKAUER which has endeared it to so many people
THE FISCHER is equally entitled to the praise of all those who have used it for years.
As to the HARRINGTON, that wonderful "SINGING" quality of its scale has obtained
for itthS name of the " SWEET .VOICED. "
THE MILTON is so reliably constructed that after years of use people have told us that
it is still "sweet and true."
THE PRICE & TEEPLE owes much of its popularity to its faithfulness of "tone."
And so satisfactory has been the wonderful $1.90.00 FRED'K KOEIILER in this re
spect that Ave proudly offer its challenge to any. piano selling at $250.00.

ALL THESE PIANOS ARE SOLD ON THE EASY PAYMENT SYSTEM OF THIS STORE
This means a fixed price on all instruments. It means also that we require only a
small first payment upon the piano, after which it practically pays for itself by the sys
