National Suffragists' Plan,
Once Rejected, Indorsed by
Illinois Association.
STORMY SESSIONS HELD
Mrs. Trout Charged "With Diverting
Defense Moneys to General Fund.
Directors Keply That They
"Are Xot Dummies."
CHICAGO, Oct 30. Two wrangling
sessions of the Illinois Equal Suffrage
Association today, which for a time
threatened, to disrupt the organization.
ended late today with the adoption of
the resolution indorsing the worlc 01
the Congressional committee of the
national American AVoman Suffrage
Association, of which Mrs. Aledill Mc
Cormick is chairman.
The action was accepted by friends
of Mrs. McCormick as a victory over the
administration, as the state association
several weeks ago declined to go on
record as supporting the Congressional
committee of the national organization
In issuing a blacklist of Congressional
candidates opposed to equal suffrage.
Wrong- Blotlves Charged.
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, state presi
dent, at the morning session asserted
the Congressional committee was ac
tuated by wrong motives. At noon Mrs.
McCormick and Mrs. Antoinette Funk
rose to make reply. Mrs. Trout ex
plained that the hotel management had
asked for the hall at noon and ad
journed the meeting amid cries of pro
test from friends of Mrs. McCormick.
At recess Mrs. Funk sought the hotel
management and said she was informed
that Mrs. Trout had requested the hall
be vacated at noon and not the manage
ment. At the afternoon meeting Mrs. Funk
Tose to a point of personal privilege,
but Mrs. Trout denied her the floor. The
convention, after considerable - debate,
agreed to give her 10 minutes at the
conclusion of the programme. When
the time came she reviewed briefly the
work of the Congressional committee
and asked that the Illinois Association
give it their Indorsement. This was
done and the storm was over.
President Retains Power.
An effort was made to take from Mrs.
Trout or the next president the power
to appoint the 52 delegates to the na
tional convention at Nashville next
month, but It was defeated after an
hour's deliberation.
A thousand-word letter written by
Mrs. Sherman M. Booth, of the legisla
tive committee. Informing leaders of
"actual conditions" and promising to
"aid In the election of a representative
board and of a state president who will
concern herself with the Interests of
women primarily" was read. This let
ter is said to have been widely circu
lated among members of the associa
tion several days ago.
Among other things the letter charged
Mrs. Trout with permitting the "di
version of the fund collected for de
fense purposes to the general fund, as
a consequence of which some of the
contributors have seriously objected to
Its unauthorized expenditure." In a re
ply, written by nine members of the
board of directors of the association. It
was declared "not a penny of the de
fense fund was used for general ex
penses." It was also asserted "mem
bers of the state board are not dummies."
This also failed, but finally the Turks 1
began a military demonstration against
the Egyptian frontier, but they found
all preparations made for an attack.
"Now comes the bombardment of the
Russian towns. It is believed that the
Sultan and some of his advisers favor
a policy of neutrality, but that they
have been overborne by the committee
of union and progress, which is bent
on war.
"Great numbers of Turkish troops
are supposed to be massed along the
frontier of Russia, where the problem
of feeding them must be arduous. To
the south, the Ottoman forces are be
lieved to be echeloned through South
ern Syria and Palestine, with forces ac
tually upon the Egyptian frontier' at
Rafa on the Mediterranean and Akaba
on the Red Sea.
"The allies are quite ready for Tur
key. All preparations have been made
by England in Egypt along the banks
of the Suez Canal and the peninsula of
Sinai. Greece, too, is ready, as Turkey
will soon discover.
"By her foolish yielding to the insti
gations of Germany, Turkey has pro
nounced her own doom. The Ottoman
Empire in Europe will soon be merely a
memory. Since the Turks are resolved
on self-destruction we do not regret
their appearance in the ranks of the
combatants.
"The present mighty struggle will
mean for Europe not only the end of
Prussian militarism, but also the end
of the Turks in Europe. These have
been the chief menaces to the peace of
the old world for more than 50 years.
Syria, Arabia and Mesopotamia will
also be freed from the blighting influ
ence of the Turk, who will be rele
gated to the obscure valleys of Asia
Minor."

Expert. Predicts Rapid Curtailment of
Rights of Neutrals In Britain Under
Jfew Admiralty Regime,
LONDON, Oct. 30. Fred T. Jane,
naval author and Journalist, whose in
timate acquaintance with naval matters
makes his statements authoritative,
writing in the Evening Standard, says
that under the Fisher naval adminis
tration, "we may expect a rapid cur
tailment of the rights of neutrals to
come and go as they please In our

" 'Ruthless, remorseless and relent
less' was one of Lord Fisher's war max
ims In the old days. We may look for
short shrift from him for any German
captured who has achieved results by
using any flag except his own. It will
probably be a case of hang first and
inquire afterwards, and if public opin
ion or the Cabinet object let them ob

Mr. Jane suggests that the human!
tarian element in the British Cabinet
has hitherto interferred in a question
like that of mine laying and he says
that Lord Fisher will not permit such
interference.

STRONG DEFENSE URGED
T. It. SAYS EE HAS SEEX FLANS TO
CAPTURE AMERICAN PORTS.
International Posse Comltatns Hoped
for, Bnt Doubt Expressed as to
"Value of Treaties.
PRINCETON, N. J.. Oct. 30. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt told the students
at Princeton, in an address today, that
he had seen the plans of two empires
now Involved in the European war to
capture great American seaports and
hold them for ransorrr:
"It Is this country duty," he said,
"to put itself in such shape that it will
be able to defend its rights If they are
invaded. I, myself, have seen the plans
of at least two empires now involved in
war to capture our great' cities and
hold them for ransom because our
standing army is too weak to protect
them. I have seen deliberate plans
prepared to take both San Francisco
and New York and hold them for
ransoms that would cripple our country
and give funds to the enemy for carry
ing on war."
Continuing, the Colonel said:
"I hope the time will come when this
country will provide that every man
may have to practice in markmanship
and some military training. It is also
my earnest hope that we shall finally
achieve international status by which
there shall be a posse comitatus, when
wo can combine to coerce any recal
citrant power; but we have seen the
utter worthlessness of scraps of paper
and other treaties that may be swept
aside like dust in a windy street. A
fight never was won by parrying
you've got to hit and not hit soft. The
American people owe it to themselves
to make their hand safeguard their
head."
Colonel Roosevelt did not make any
further reference to his statement re
garding the plans of European nations
to capture the seaports of this coun
try. Neither would he amplify the
statement later.

L FIRE STRONG
British Flotilla Continues to
Support Allies.
FLANK WELL MAINTAINED
Preponderance of Ships Gunnery
Declared In Official Report to
He Established Casualties
Relatively Small.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. The British
embassy today made public the follow
ing official report of naval operations
on the coast of Belgium, dated 4 A. M.
today:
'The British naval flotilla continues
to support the allied left since the
morning of the 27th. The fire of the
12-inch guns has been brought to bear
on the German -positions and batteries.
Reports received from shore testify to
its effect and accuracy and to its gall
ing character. The flank thus was
thoroughly maintained yesterday and
the day before. The enemy brought up
heavy guns and replied vigorously to
the fire of Admiral Hood's ships. The
vessels received only trifling structural
damage.
BTaval Gunnery Preponderates.
"Today the opposition from the shore
practically ceased. The preponderance
of naval gunnery seems to be estab
lished. Casualties were slight through
out. One shell exploding on the de
stroyer Falcon killed one officer and
eight men and wounded one officer and
15 men. One killed and several wounded
are reported from the Brilliant and
eight wounded from the Rinaldo. The
enemy's submarines have been reported
seeking opportunity to attack the bom
barding ships, which, are covered by
British destroyers."

"The work done by the British moni

Canal Raids Dl concertina;.
"These boats make frequent raids up
the canals and rivers, striking unex
pected and disconcerting blows into the
heart of the enemy's forces. On many
occasions the boats got to such close
range that the crews were able to em
ploy rifle fire against the enemy.
"The speed of the ships always en
ables them to get out of the way before
the Germans can place artillery advan
tageously against them."
WOODEN GUN STRIKES AWE
British Captain Plays Hoax on Ger

SEATTLE, Waslu, Oct. 30. (Special.)
Under charter to the Albers Bros.
Milling Company to load a full cargo of
wheat for the Lfnited Kingdom, the
British bark Inverclyde, Captain James
Klug, reached port yesterday with the
story of a remarkable hoax played by
a British vessel on several German
ships in the harbor of Callao, Peru.
The British vessel was the steam
ship Orcoma. Her officers had two
enormous guns cut out of wood and
painted black. These were mounted in
such as way as to dominate the Ger
man ships, thereby preventing them
from making any effort to leave port.
Later" the Peruvian authorities or
dered all vessels In the port to dis
mount their guns and boarded the
Orcoma to see that she obeyed. They
were astonished when they discovered
the hoax.
