THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. MONDAY. JULY 28. 1913. 9 9 ill CARRYING MIR PLEAS TO SENATE Suffragists Plan Another Big Demonstration at Na- tional Capital. GIANT PARADE SCHEDULED Army of Fair Marchers, Represent ing All Parts of Nation, Will Present Monster Petition to Dignified Body. WASHINGTON, July 27. (Special. Trekking- from all sections of the country to a little hamlet six miles north of Washington are women who are to participate in the equal suffrage demonstration on Juiy 31. Some of these women are coming afoot, others by automobile; some are on horseback, others in wagons. All promise, how ever, to reach the place of rendezvous not later than the morning of Thurs day, July 31. and if necessary to keep their appointments they will make final dashes in their pilgrimages upon rail road trains. The second woman suffrage demon stration upon Congress in the campaign for votes for women will be Cavvoid of the unpleasant features that marred the parade held here on the eve of March 4. The coming demonstration will be by automobiles, the procession forming at Hyattsville. Every state in the Union will be represented by two women in the procession, the delega tions being arranged in alphabetical order, according to states, bearing re spective state flags and in addition the flag of their organization. Senate to Be Petitioned. The purpose of the demonstration is to present to the United States Senate petitions urging the immediate passage of the resolution introduced by Sena tor Chamberlain, of Oregon,, providing for a Constitutional amendment grant ing women the right to vote in all Federal elections. It is not thought possible that the traditions of the Senate will be smashed by a reception of the equal suffrage pilgrims upon the floor of that body. Parading Pennsylvania avenue, the women pilgrims will abandon their automobiles and flags at the Capitol and enter that building armed with miles of petitions. No plans have been arranged for any ceremonies at the Senate and it is thought none can be; but a self-constituted committee of Senators favorable to woman suffrage will meet the representatives of the different states, see that the petition are duly received and cared for and that the women themselves are protected from molestation and insult. Pilgrims to Make Speeches. En route from their homes to Hyatts ville, Md., the place of rendezvous, the pilgrims will make frequent speeches advocating their cause and will ask signatures to the petitions. The long est pilgrimage will be made by Miss Janette Rankin, president of the Mon tana Woman Suffrage Association, who left Butte early this week with a par ty of women In an automobile. An antiquated boat-shaped caravan wagon, built in 1776. drawn by on, horse, will bring three women from New York to Washington. The wagon is liberally- plastered with suffragist mottoes, one reading: - "Taxation without representation Is tyranny. After the dust-covered pilgrims have delivered to the Senate the petitions the scene will suddenly change. Leav ing the Capitol they will be hastened to hotels or the homes of friends to dress for a banquet which Is to be given at the fashionable Chevy Chase country ciuo, under the auspices of the Congressional committee of the national organization. Among the speaKers at the banquet will be Mrs. James Lees Laldlaw and Mrs. Mary ware uennett. of New York: Mrs. Su san Walker Fitzgerald, of Boston, and xjt. uora emitn K.lnsr. of Washlnerton. Mrs. Genevieve Stone, wife of Repre sentative stone, or the Sixteenth 1111 nois district, will join the pilgrims at iiyattsviiie.

Sylvia Pankhurst, the militant suffragette who was out on- license under the "cat-and-mouse" law, was the leader of a suffragette demonstration today which 'surpassed all previous Sunday afternoon affairs of the sort. In the rioting which fol lowed. Miss Pankhurst was rearrested and taken to Hollaway jail. The meeting was held in Trafalgar Square by the Men's Federation for Woman Suffrage and the East End branch of the Women's Social and Po litical Union. "On to Downing Street" proved to be the watchword, and but for vigorous work by the mobilized police, who ar rested Miss Pankhurst and 20 men and women supporters, there would have been window smashing and perhaps worse damage at Premier Asqulths house. "Deeda Wanted," Saya Woman. The procession of men and women marched from Whitechapel to Trafal gar Square, followed by constantly growing crowds. Miss Pankhurst made a dramatic appearance from among the" crowd and was dragged to the plinth of the Nelson column amid great cheer ing. "The time for speaking is over," she said.' "Deeds, not words, are wanted. Let us go to Downing street." She concluded by saying she would defy the authorities and carry resolu tions to the Premier's residence her self. In an instant Miss Pankhurst, with a bundle of papers in her arm, was swept off the plinth by the mob and the square was a mass of excited and struggling people. Officers Fight Bodyguard. The huge crowd moved down White hall toward Downing street. A platoon of police formed a cordon across the road and formed a blockade which held conveyances. Officers in plain clothes got possession of Miss Pankhurst after a fist fight with her bodyguard of East End youths.

The ope ration was made necessary by the weakened condition of Mrs. Pankhurst, following her hunger strikes. Many suffragettes volunteered to supply the blood.

Convicted of manslaughter and sent enced to from: six months to 10 years in the penitentiary for starving Miss Clara F. Foy, a school teacher of King Hill who was fasted 49 days. Dr. Charles C. Smith, osteopath, has ap pealed to the Supreme Court to set aside the sentence. Miss Foy suffered from stomach troubles and in December, 1912, went to Dr. Smith for treatment. At that time Miss Foy weighed 180 pounds, was strong and robust. Dr. Smith pre scribed fasting for what was believed to be gastric ulcers of the stomach. With the physician's wife her nurse. Miss Foy fasted for 49 days. Then she attempted to break the fast but was unable to retain nourishment. Her weight dropped to 100 pounds and she died February 9, 1913. A coroner's Jury pronounced death due to starva tion. An autopsy was held and the same conclusion was reached. Dr. Smith was tried In the District Court for Elmore County and convicted. A motion to set aside the verdict was denied, as was a motion for a new trial. Then Dr. Smith appealed to the Su preme Court where the case is pending. It was shown at the trial that Miss Foy lost consciousness and became de lirious during the last days of her fast. Just before Miss Foy died. Dr. L. A. McCalla, of this city was called Into the case, but not until it was too late. The defense of Dr. Smith is that the complaint charging him with man slaughter was vague, uncertain and in definite and not sufficient. Dr. Smith was prominent in business and political life of King Hill and owns a highly improved ranch in that sec tion. The state board of osteopathy recently revoked his license to prac tice.

The scheme of Chairman Glass to take the unfinished bill out of the hands of the committee Democrats and send it to the Democratic House caucus which failed on Friday was abandoned, after Chairman Glass had conferred with President Wilson. The bill will be kept in the confer ence of the committee Democrats this week, according to the new plan, and they will be forced to vote on the es sentials of' the measure. The Adminis tration supporters believe they will De able to outvote the so-called Insurgents by 10 to 4 or perhaps 11 to 3. Repre sentative Ragsdale, who offered the Henry-Ragsdale insurgent amend ments to the bill. Representative Bulke ley. of Ohio, Representative Eagle, of Texas, and Representative Neeley. ol Kansas, are the four members listed as doubtful. The Admlnistratioln forces apparently were encouraged today and advanced the belief that the President, despite the unhappy outlook, would be able to get his bill through both ends of the capl- tol practically unchanged.
