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.

Debate Rararat and Bitter.
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."

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."
