Mrs. 'Stuyvesant Fish in a .remarkable Interview today deckrS the Insistent and increasing de mand of women for equal suffrage, is creating a serious antagonism which Is eliminating sentiment and the prettl- Hess of romance from life." 'The position is ridiculous," said Mrs, Fish. - "However, If I" could I would give the vote to women and stop all this fuss. It would not amount to any thing If they had it. What good would it do? You know women, as a rule, they are , hysterical. They are more or less jealous of each other and what would they accomplish.-; Women are a good deal like children. They want a thing they haven't got If they were given the vote it would satisfy tbem and stop all this ridiculous agitation. 'Just how foolish woman can be1 Is shown by the way those screeching, fighting women of England are carry ing on. Isn't it absurd? While this fuss continues some one Is certain to suffer. And I think, most of all, worn' an herself. ; "Men are losing respect for women be. cause or this continued fighting for their right.'" observed Mrs. Fish. "Now when you start to fight men, women al ways get the worst of It. You get bit ter treatment from men by being pleas- and with them. "I know scores of girls crasy to mar ry. .But women are losing their charm for men who would marry thoroughly womanly women. "I should not be surprised that after awhile women will get tired of all this sort of thing and go back to the old fashioned tastes of women, the minuet instead or the Turkey trot and the fern ine .pursuits of life." ; 1 BELL OF OLD OREGON SECURED FOR PARK Historic Relic .

London, May 10. An unoccupied house at Breckenham in Kent was destroyed by fire tonight and the suffragettes were blamed for the outrage. Inflam mables found by those who discovered the blaze indicated that it was of in cendiary origin and suffragette propa ganda scattered about brought susDiclon on the militants. The fire apparently was started in several places simultane ouBly and tbe loss was estimated at 16000. . Scotland Yard detectives and the citv firemen now are distracted between bombs that palpably are hoaxes and in fernal machines that are real.

On the other hand, the bomb at Cambridge with the clock and battery waa no joke as experts of the home office declared It would have exploded. Valuable Mansion Burned.

It was almost entirely consumed. The fire which broke out simultaneously In half a dozen places had gained such headway by the time it was discovered, that nothing could be done to save the struc ture. Suffragette literature was found about the place. The loss was estimated at 350,000. The list of suffragette bombs that did not explode was increased by two during the day.

RECIPROCITY IS CRY OF DEMOCRAT C SENATORS OPPOSING WILSON BILL Reduction But Protection' for Industries Platform of Some From South and West. (By the Intranational , News Serric.) Washington, D. C, May- 10. Sub- j stantial reduction of tariff rates without destroying any American industry and reciprocity that will enlee foreign markets to American products - Is the argument around which insurgent Dera-. ocratlo opposition to the Wilson-Underwood , tariff bill Is solidifying . in the senate. This policy will have the sup port of Thornton, of Louisiana; Shaf- roth," of Colorado; Newlands and Pitt man, of Nevada, and Walsh, of Montana, and.it is believed a number of other senators are in the plan. The fight of sugar and wool men against free trade in those products is gaining strength. Protests are flowing In upon the com mittee from business and farming inter ests, and from labor organizations. Btdfield consults Committee. Today Secretary of Commerce Red field had a long conference with the committee. The probable effect upon 23 existing treaties of the proposed 6 per cent reduction in rates In goods im ported in American ships was under de. bate. The committee inclines to the accept ance of this amendment, regardless of the protests' of other nations. Secretary Redfield also urges the committee to postpone for two or three months from the date of the approval of the law the time when the new rates should become operative against woolen and cotton cloths and clothing. This, he urged, in order that manufacturers who have made up their supplies on the basis of existing cost And duties might have time to get rid of their products. "The committee looks with favor on this suggestion. . Discuss Xnooma Tax. Assistant Attorney General Dennis son discussed the lncoma tax feature of tha proposed law,. He argued that this tax . should not become operative until the beginning of the new fiscal year and suggests plans by which the amount of taxable property subject to Income tax should be assessed. Under the present bill it Is claimed that the law would . go back to the time when the constitutional amendment was made in the hpuse Intended to relieve Insur ance companies from paying an income tax on money that belongs to the policy holders. The Impression prevails In the senate that the house measure is too general in its application and will per mit Insurance companies to escape pay ment of taxes that-should be assessed against reserves, and other funds that do. not belong .to the policy holders, . The assistant attorney general and assistant secretary of the treasury also suggested an amendment to make under valuations practically impossible. This amendment provides against fluctuating values, ignores the values fixed Joy the exporting firms and gives ma secretary of the treasury right to determine; what the value should be and assess the du ties accordingly.
