Truthful Advertisement WOMEN N RGHT FOR BILL - ap5"" - , v Militant Tactics Proposed by English -Trained Suffra ' gists at Washington. MRS. M'CORMICK OBJECTS IenioeratIc Leaders Trying to Pre vent Raising of Issue in Coining Senatorial Elections Two . Leaders Are After Party. OREGO.MAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 31. Suffragist leaders are divided over the proper methods to pursue in their campaign for a univer sal suffrage amendment to the Con stitution. The National Suffrage Asso ciation, led by Mrs. Medlll McCormick, Is opposed to militant tactics advo cated by the Congressional Union un der the leadership of Misses Lucy Burns and Alice Paul, who trained under Mrs. Pankhurst in Ensland. Some of those interested in the campaign are striving to make the suffrage question a partisan political issue. In the hope of forcing the Democratic majority in Congress to put through a bill grant ing the women the right to vote at Congressional and Senatorial elections In all stales, or else to pass a resolution looking to an equal suffrage amend ment to the Federal Constitution. At. the same time Democratic leaders are trying to prevent any such issue from being raised, and are undertaking to make it appear that the suffrage question, while a political' issue. Is not a partisan issue, inasmuch as there are Republican as well as Democratic op ponents to suffrage legislation. Defeat Due to DemocratM. While the Democratic contention is true, it is also true, as contended by the women, that Democrats are solely responsible for the defeat of suffrage legislation at the present Congress, and the way in which the cause has been blocked gives ground for the partisan cry. The first request of the suffragists was for a special House committee on woman suffrage to consider all legisla tion on that subject. When the demand for this committee became strong the Democratic leaders at first decided to accede to the demand, but to create a "packed" committee which would be hostile to all equal suffrage legislation. On reconsideration, however; the lead ers deciedd to change their programme, and Instead of packing a new commit tee, they put It up to the rules com mittee to head off this resolution. Accordingly, when the resolution pro viding for a woman suffrage committee was brought up for consideration, it was blocked by a tie vote in the rules committee, one Democrat voting with the Republican minority to make it ap pear the division was not partisan. Women Insist on Vote. The women would not let the matter rest on a tie vote and a second vote was demanded, whereupon the Democrat who on the first occasion had voted with the Republicans switched to the anti-side and voted against the resou tion. thus preventing a report. By keep ing the resolution In the committee on rules, the members of the House are spared the embarrassment of being forced to go on record for or against a special committee, which means for or against equal suffrage, and there are a great many members who would do much to avoid going- on record on that Question. War on the Democrats has been de clared as a consequence by Lucy Burns and Alice Paul, graduates of the Brit ish militant school. Miss Burns or ganized Scotland for Mrs. Pankhurst and the throwing of a flour.sack at a Cabinet officer in Edinburg and the burning of the hothouses at Glasgow are pointed to as evidences of the mili tancy she inspired among the Scotch suffragists. Miss Burns and Miss Paul had control of the Congresional Union and were turning it to militancy when the National Suffrage Association dis approved their method and organized a Congressional committee under Mrs. Medill McCormick to carry or a non partisan campaign. Miss Burns and Miss Paul are pursu ing their militant way in spite of the Na'onal Suffragn Association. They diot propose to throw Rny flour sacks at President Wilson or burn the White House conservatory, but they are after the Democratic party with a metaphor ical club.

Quieted by sleep after the nerve-wracking reaction created by his conviction of first degree murder, Louis Bundy, the 18-year-old Blayer of Harold Ziesche, his boy chum, last December, calmly announced today that he believed in no hereafter. "There Is neither heaven nor hell," he said 111 even tones. "If I am hanged the springing of the trap and the tightening of the noose will be the end of Louis Bundy." The boy murderer, however, does not expect to be hanged. The "if" in his statement indicated that, and his hope was based on assurances given him this morning by his attorneys that they would carry the case to the highest courts, and failing there, would enlist the aid of anti-capital punish ment organizations to procure clemency from the Governor. "1 am not afraid to die," Bundy con. tinued. "and I would not care if it were not for my father and mother and other relatives and my friends who would be grieved if my life were lost." The young prisoner maintained that he was insane hen he struck young Ziesche down to get money to buy a Christmas present. "I intended," he said.

Belief Prevails In Washington, Hovr ever, That Errand Will Kail and Old Ruling Stand. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 30. Binger Hermann, of Roseburg, ex-Representative and Land Commissioner, is endeavoring while in Washington this Winter to secure a reversal of recent rulings of the In terior Department under the timber and stone act, but with little prospect of success. Mr. Hermann' maintains that the law, as it stands, does not justify the Government in accepting more than $2.50 an acre for each acre entered under the timber and stone act, and holding that view he contends the Government has been without au thority to accept greater payments from settlers. ..He is particularly de sirous of having the Government make refund in all cases where settlers have paid an appraised price for timber land, where that price has exceeded Jli.nO an acre. It was James R. Garfield who as Secretary -of the Interior first ruled that the timber and stone act did not fix a price of $2.50 flat for timber land, but that it fixed that price as tie minimum. Homing such an opin ion. Secretary Garfield ruled that the price at which timber land Should be sold could be determined only by ap praisal, and under his Administration the appraisal system went into effect it iias been followed ever since, and Mr. Hermann contends the Government has unjustly, and illegally collected in xcess of S2.o0 for Its timber. Secre tary Lane believes the Government should sell the timber separately from the land, and he Is striving for such authority from Congress. It would require Congressional action to refund to timber entrymen as Dro- posed by Mr. Hermann, and that au thority cannot be obtained at this session. Grandview Ships Hogs.

Asserting the loss of his vessel was due to the carelessness of the commander of the steamer Nantucket, Captain E. T. John son, of the steamer Monroe, filed a libel against the Nantucket late today, claiming $1,000,000 damages. Action was filed in the United States District Court and papers were served on offi cials of the Merchants' & Miners' Trans portation Company, owners of the Nan tucket, at Baltimore and Norfolk. In his conjplaint Captain Johnson al leges that the Monroe was proceeding at half speed or less before the acci dent and had lain tt. after hearing fog whistles. He says the Nantucket came upon him at such speed that a collision was unavoidable, although he had or dered his ship ahead at full speed to avoid the blow. W. L. Etheridge, one of the wireless operators of the Monroe, said tonight that the only boaf launched from the Monroe saved 2 8 lives and went back for a second load after transferring her passengers to the Nantucket. Cap tain Johnson was in the boat- "We picked up Mr. and Mrs. Harring ton." Ethridge said, "but Mrs. Har rington died before we reached the Nantucket. We also picked up the body of a man. I believe it was that of Lieutenant Curtis. We had two women in our boat. . "We tried to launch two boats, but one of them was swamped. We could not launch the starboard boats, as the ship careened to that side. "I sent out an 'S. O. S." call just be fore the ship went down. I remained in the radio room, until our current was cut off. Then I followed Captain Johnson into the lifeboat. Neither of us was in the water at any time. "Captain Johnson remained in the lifeboat until everybody we could find had been placed on board the Nan tucket." Officials of the Old Dominion line an nounced that a wrecking steamer would be kept at sea. searching for bodies of the Monroe's dead as long as hope remained of the finding- of bodies. PARTY'S WORK LAUDED PROMISES OF DEMOCRATS ARB FUL FILLED, SAYS SPEAKER CLARK. Tariff 1M1I Best Kver Put on Statute Books and Currency Lair Is Good Substitute for Bad System. MUSCATINE. la.. Jan. 31. Pride In what the Democratic party has accom plished since it came into control of the Government less than a year ago, and confidence in the programme of the Administration to complete the work of carrying out the promises of the party's platform, was voiced here tonight by Speaker Clark In a cam paign speech for Henry Volmer, Demo cratic nominee for Congress, to succeed the late Representative Pepper. "For 16 long and wearisome years," said the Speaker, all the Democrats could do was to promise what they could accomplish if they were given power. It took us all that time to convince "the American people that we were earnest in our profession. All that is changed. We can now talk about what we have done and also about what we intend to do. "In my judgment the Democrats have passed the best tariff bill ever put on the statute" books. If there were no other good features in it, the Income tax section would make it rank among the best tariff bills. "The new currency bill," he said, "furnishes a substitute for one of the worst currency systems in the world. "We intend now to proceed to re deem other promises in the Democratic platform by enactment of laws on the subjects of the trusts, the farmers' banks and perhaps on the Philippines. When we have done that we will have put more constructive legislation on the statute books than nearly any other Congress that ever sat."

Price Breaks Ten Cents a Pound, While Demand Abroad Leads to In crease There. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. An influx of foreign buttter from all parts of the world, due to the reduction of the tariff from 6 to-22 cents a pound, has causes a decline in the New York wholesale price of 10 cents a pound since the first of the year. Butter has been coming to this city from as far off as Australia, by way of San Francisco. Three hundred thousand pounds from that country has been laid down here within the last two or three weeks. Butter has also been shipped from the Argentine, Den mark and Siberia. The shipments, butter dealers ad mitted today, have created marked, un easiness in the wholesale market, with the result that there has been an un loading of various stocks. The best grade butter was selling today at 26 to 27 cents a pound wholesale. The American demand for foreign butter has caused a rise of 2 to 3 cents a pound in some of the foreign markets. It is generally admittted here that the price of butter in this country will be kept in the future at a lower aver age level than before.
