BRITISH STILL HOLD AMERICAN CARGOES Packing-House Products Billed to Scandinavian Ports De layed Many Weeks. PRIZE COURT TO DECIDE Owners Declare Ships Sailed Before London Edict Classing as Con traband All Goods Billed to Order in Xeutral Cities. LOXDON. Jan. 13. The Norwegian steamers Alfred Nobel and Bjornstjerne BJorneon, loaded chiefly with lard, ba ron and other products of Chicago packinghouses, have been held with their cargoes in British porta ainco the middle of November. The cargoes are onsigne'l "to order" at Copenhagen. The Nobil sailed from New York Oc tober SO and arrived in Liverpool No vember 17. The BJornson left New York October -27 and was taken Into ltth November 17. It is said by owners of the vessels that they sailed from the United States before the British announcement of October 29 that all supplies that a belligerent army might utilise must be definitely consigned to some tirm or Individual. The Swedish steamer Kridland, which left New York October 2S for Copen hagen and arrived at Kirkwall Novem ber 10. and was taken thrnce to Shields November 30, also Is still being held. Like the Nobel and Bjornson. the Frtd land la loaded w ith packers' products. Cara;sc Held for Prime Court. The Foreign Office was advised that the Kridland'M manifest was fraudulent, it being alleged that rubber was listed in it as gum. The cargoes of all three ships have been held for a prixa court. The Foreign Office says the delay in bringing the canes to trial was due to the request of the owners for time to complete their evidence. The British government wanted to aell the cargoes at auction, but the owners refused to permit thin, saving the bacon In them tins not the sort required by the Kng tifli market and that the other supplies in packages were not desirable for the trade. Therefore, they declared, the prices received would be below, the invoice. Omen Demand Invoice Price. It was said also that the government offered to release the cargoes if the .wners would provide surety bonds cjnlvalent to the total Invoice figures in order to secure the government Hbould it win a decision In the prize court The owners, according to the Foreign Office, say that the bacon and other articles in the cargoes are perishable and take the position that the British should pay the invoice price for them, at It haa done for copper, since the car goes were at sea before Great Britain declared foodstuffs consigned "to or der' contraband. The packers' representatives insist that their trado with Denmark has been large at all times and maintain that the British government is wrong in assuming that foodstuffs destined for neutral Kuropean countries are in tended for Germany.

Of ten during the earnest and at times bitter debate preceding the vote Speak er Clark was forced to Interrupt the speakers on the floor, fill the chamber with the deafening battering of bis gavel and warn both members and spectators that order must be pre served. Several times he threatened to have the galleries cleared unless the disturbance subsided. But the murmurs of approval and disapproval persisted as each speaker voiced his support for or opposition to the cause of "votes for women." . The turmoil culminated In a storm of hissing that greeted a speech made by Representative Bowdle, of Ohio, oppos- ing the amendment. He had treated the subject humorously and remarked that the "women of Washington are beautiful, but they have no interest in affairs of state." Opponents of the resolution based their opposition largely upon the argu ment that for the Federal Government to prescribe qualifications for suffrage would be an unwarranted invasion of the right of the Individual states to control their actions and. further, upon the contention that there was no ade quate "public demand" for this amend ment showing it to be necessary. Previous Sncceaa Asserted. Advocates of the amendment con tended that the widespread demand for woman suffrage, its success in the states where It has been tried, and the principle "of allowing the people ,to rule" Justified the submission of the proposal to the states for ratification. Preceding the general debate there was debate of an hour and a half on a special rule providing for consideration of the resolution, the rule being adopt ed by a rising vote of 209 to 31. Texan Defends State Rights. Representative Henry, of Texas, de clared that the trend of the times was too strongly in the direction or strip ping the states of their power. "I sus nect that this question has been brought here," he added, "because the supporters or tnis propaganua. failed to secure their demands in tne various states. I am not willing that Colorado and California should say to Texas how she shall deal with her own domestic concerns." Representative Seldoniridge, of Colo rado, supported the resolution and praised the voting women of his state. In opposing the resolution Represen tative Hughes, ot Georgia, declared that should the proposed anjendraent be ratitied by the states It would pre cipitate a serious situation In the Southern states, on account of the race problem. Hisses and audible expressions of re sentment interrupted a speech of Kep resentative Bowdle, of Ohio, who un dertook to discuss the suffrage cause in humorous vein and argued that a scientific analysis of women's nature showed her to be totally disqualified as a voter and officeholder. Humorous Sallies Cause Vproar. Speaker Clark stilled the uproar half a dozen times and warned spectators that a recurrence of the incident would result in their eviction from the cham ber. Mr. Bowdle told of an Investigation he made of newspaper reading and buying among Washington women. His conclusions were that women buy one paper to 33 bought by men and that as streetcar newspaper readers, the ratio among women is as one to 99. and among men the readers are one to two. "Women generally," he said, "are not interested in politics for which Jhe saints be forever praised for I do not like to think of the day when papa's purse will be called upon to contribute to two opposing political wigwams. One is plenty. "Ves. Mr. Speaker, the women of this smart capital are beautiful indeed, their beauty is positively disturbing to business; their feet are beautiful; their ankles are beautiful; but here I must pause all this do I assert on that kind of evidence required by Greenleaf's first rule but they are not interested In affairs of state." Race Suicide Inquiry Suicseated. This brought forth more hisses, and Representative Bowdle remarked: "This is the last chance of the Insti tution known in the United States as the Old Man to Save his pants." He suggested that American women. Instead of going Into politics, resolve on an investigation of the race sui cide question and examine into "the menace to our Nation found in the fact that within 10 years a multitude of American women with great for tunes gathered by American men have laid them to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars at tne ieet oi lor eign Lords and Dukes." "The need of this country is more marriage." Mr. Bowdle added. "America needs a new baptism of the old-time masculinity. We need the old type of feminine women." Representative Sinnott. of Oregon, made an argument In favor of the reso lution. Representative Decker, of Missouri, supporting the amendment, replied to Representative Bowdle. He declared that the "Governmental co-operation of women was a great blessing." and de rided the Idea that woman's lack of ability for military service disqualified her as a voter. Hebseu Pleads fer Adoption. Representative Hobson, or Alabama, pleaded for the amendment, and as serted that If it failed this time "the forces of nature and of nature's God would ultimately extend the franchise to women. Representative Miller, of Minnesota, assorted that the amendment was "in contravention of all the principles or rree local self-government." As the time for debate drew to a close the attendance on the floor and in the galleries thinned, members and spectators hurrying out to eat before settling down to wait for the final vote. Representative Stafford closed the de bate In opposition to the bill, declaring that no argument advanced In the dis cussion had shown the necessity of Federal action on the question of wom an suffrage. Representative Mann, of Illinois, con cluding the Republican support for the measure, said the same reasoning which prompted the rules committee in bring ing the amendment, should prompt the House to submit the amendment to the states. Representative, Taylor, of Colorado, In the closing speech, declared that the experience of the states., where the woman vote had proved the fallacy of all arguments against suffrage. KsnbarraMlns; Amendments Cut Off. At 7:45 P- M. the reading of the bill for amendment was begun. Representa tive Cullop, of Indiana, offered an amendment to submit the suffrage proposal to constitutional conventions in the various states instead of to the state legislatures. This wu voted down 108 to 142. Further reading for amendment was stopped when Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, moved to strike out the eiiactinsr clause of the Mondell resolu tion. This had the effect of bringing a direct vote on the question -ot sub mitting the constitutional amendment to the states, because, under the rules of the House, the striking out of the enacting clause is equivalent to de feating a measure, Efforts were made to have Represen tative Garrett withdraw his motion and to allow a straight vote on the resolu tion, but he declared his determina tion of catting of all further amend ments. Jt was asserted that certain amendments had been prepared in volving the question of negro suffrage, which would effibarrass Southern, mem bers. Representative Garrett moved the previous question to cut off debate on his -motion, which was. adopted by a vote of 206 to 170. Unanimous consent was then reached that a vote should be taken directly upon the resolution Itself. Republican Leader Mann led in sup porting the amendment. "The tendency of the world every where is toward enlarging the grant of power to those who shall control the destinies of the nations." said Mr. Mann. "We may stay the current for a moment, but civilization's progress demands the granting; of the franchise to those who have the power and knowledge to use It." Issue for States, Says Underwood. The right of the states to control the franchise was insisted upon by Mr. Underwood. "This question," he said, "is the gravest one this body has had to con sider. I deny that the exercise of the franchise is a universal right. You don't believe it is a right. Many of those who will vote for this amend ment here today are from states which would deny this right to other races because you believe it would destroy your civilization. Therefore you recog nice that it is a privilege and not a universal right" Representative Taylor, of Colorado, supported the amendment, saying the opposition spoke from prejudice and misinformation. "1 believe the welfare of the Na tional Republic is superior to the whim of any state," he declared. Representative Mondell, ot Wyoming, co-author or the resolution, urged its adoption in a speech which traced the history of the movement. "It some rortunate w,omen are so happily content under present condi tions that they don't desire the ballot, that Tact does not constitute an argu ment against allowing these womenH to vote who desire so to do. The Na tion has seen fit to prohibit discrim ination on -account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The Nation may with equal or greater pro priety prohibit discrimination on ac count of sex. Except as a matter of personal opinion or preference, no one is justified in saying that the question Is one for individual action in the states, rather than for concerted action by the states." Dies Wouldn't Marry Policewoman. Representative Dies. Democrat, of Texas, opposed the resolution. "I have no doubt," he said, "that if women wielded the cleaver at the meat stall we would have cleaner beefsteak, But who wants to court the butcher? Undoubtedly women would make good peace offieers. But who wants to mar ry a policewoman?" Representative Bryan, of Washing ton, and Stephens and Bell, of Cali fornia, declared woman suffrage a suc cess. Progressive party support was voiced by Representative Kelly, of Pennsyl vania. "There Is no reason." he said, 'why the woman suffrage problem should be met piecemeal. There is no reason why It should be decided in 48 different places. It should be decided once and for all hre In Washington. The black guard, the thief, the unconvicted scoun drel of every kind, walks up and casts his ballot, -but the American woman must stand aside." Representative Murdock, Progressive, of Kansas, supported the resolution. "I am against the-American woman's dragging her skirts through the mire of partisan politics," he said, "and for that reason I favor woman suffrage as a means of cleaning the mire ot party politics."

SENATORS APPROVE OF ARMY MEASURES Stronger Standing Force and Reserve Corps Are Con sidered in Committee. COAST NEED MOST URGENT Secretary of War. Garrison Says De fenses Are More Important Ma terial Sow 1n XTse Equals Best, Says Artilleryman. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. War De partment bills to strengthen the Army and create a reserve corps were taken up today by the Senate military com- cHiinn with Secretary inuico i ii we"' . Garrison and his aides present to ex plain the various projects. the committee indicated by their ques tions their general approval of -the measures. Senator Dupont, however, objected to the bill providing for the addition of 1000 officers to the mobile army, con- . .. ., .1 : ... .hot it WAUl d create nearly a thousand vacancies in the grade of Sec ond Lieutenant ana proviae iur o. .i. oroDortion of Colonels and Lieutenant- Colonels. , ' Secretary Garrison said tne nuts naa been prepared in the War College by his direction and that he had directed .i., iir,v nf the Armv should be the end sought. He said statements of the reason of the apportionment se lected would be drafted at once for the committee. New Class May Be Had. i : i. c Km Trnvldlnff for the creation of a reserve corps by granting tha scrfitarv to discharge competent men from the regular Army into the reserve at tne enu oi uu of service, Mr. Garrison sam tne pico ent reserve system, which had produced a force of only 16 men in two years, was a "vacuum." His plan, he believed, would bring to the Army a class of re cruits not now available. The Secretary strongly urged the en actment of the bill providing for the officers' reserve corps. Even with the other bills enacted, he said, the depart ment would be faced, in time of war. with the problem of providing officers for a force of 350.000 men, and it now had no list of graduates of military schools or other civilians competent to take these positions. N Coast Weed Is Urgent. The Secretary said the enactment of the coast artillery bill would bring that arm of the service up to 50 per cent of the strength it would have in war. He said he had considered this the most urgent matter, because the isolated position of the United States made its coast defenses of most importance. A single shot from a big gun, he said, would sink a $15,000,000 battleship, but no foe would take a chance against the coast defenses in order to drop a few random shells into cities. General Weaver, chief of the coast artillery, told the committee that the United States had expended 175,000. 000 on its coast defenses since 1S88, and that, in material, they were the best in the world. ; . . . Men nnd Officers Wanted.. He submitted tables of the number of guns and the present regular forces in charge of them to show that more men and officers were urgently needed. Senator Dupont asked Secretary Gar rison what might be done to place the uniform of the United States Army in greater respect among citizens. Mr. Garrison said he did not believe that could be reached by legislating! it must come through a change in popular sen timent with greater popular knowl edge of the Army. "I think the people for the first time are beginning seriously to consider this question of common defense," Mr. Gar rison added, "and I hope that there will grow out jof that greater respect for the Army."
