Ml ml iii It? 4 111 9 IK Ml it? Mi? ill i Ml Ml rWomen Parade In Demand That World Disarm Immediate, Universal and Complete Movement Is Called For by Thousands gj in March Up Fifth Avenue iii Mff Would Scrap Battleships i eteran Suffragists and Ori? entals in Demonstration 1 of the Peace Societies Women dramatized their plea for dis? armament in a parade which moved up! Fifth Avenue, yesterday afternoon, one thou: and strong. They carried no ban? ners but the white flag of peace. There was no flash of crimson and gold and blue, to1 make a brilliant spectacle of their column after column of $mall white banners, above the drab masses of the women in their winter coats and mufflers. The very lack of pomp and pagentry, however, served their cause well. It told better than banners just what they band of unorganised, united by no bond but the hatred of war, hastily assembled on the day of the opening of the great conference in Washington, to utter their protest against any compromise with the war gods.

For Immediate Disarmament "Immediate, Complete, Universal Dis? was the theme of the parade, in the largest banner carried by eight women at the head of the parade. Many of the marchers were the same women in 1911, carried the first I suffrage nag up Fifth Avenue, and the flag which headed them yesterday was the same that led that first suffrage Out of Error, For? ward Into Light." This was carried by Miss Eleanor Brannan, daughter of Ifitt. John Winters Brannan. Both mother and daughter have been active in the suffrage campaigns, even to serv? ing as pickets at the White House. Behind Miss Brannan marched the members of the Women's Peace Society and the Peace Union, the two organi? zations responsible for the parade.

With them marched Mrs. Henry Vil lard, sturdily disregarding her seventy-' years and the chill wind which I beat against the parade. After these were delegations from the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, the Community Church, the Workers Council of Brooklyn Citizens' Com- mittee, the Order of the Golden Rule, the League for Mutual Aid and the Harding urging the success of the con- i Church of the Ascension. There was a small group of Chinese girl students from Columbia Univer- sity, and Japanese women telling the onlookers that 10,000 Japanese women had signed a message to President Harding urging the success of the cno- ference. sVioif not ki'l," was one of tho banners which won scattered out- bursts of applause from the shivering' crowds on the curb.

For the most on the march without response. There was no laughter as theere was for these first suffrage parades; there was no hos-? tility as there might have been for peace demonstration at any time when the hearts of the people were notj filled with high hopes for the Arma- ment Conference. The fact that these paraders were i out, more in protest against the pos? sible weakness of the conference than support of it, was apparently not comprehended by the crowds. They gazed stolidly at such sentences as i this: "Scrap the battleships and the Pacific problem will settle itself;" and, "the way to disarm is to disarm." The parade started from Washington Square at 3 o'clock, and moved up the avenue under police escort, occupying one-half of the width of the street, Southbound traffic flowed unrestrained, i but the police protected the women I against interruption from northbound vehicles- At Fifty-seventh Street they turned east and disbanded. Mrs.

Caroline Lexow Babcock, chair- i man of the parade, announced its pur- pose as follows: "There is a widespread determina- tion to bring genuine disarmament out of the international conference begin? ning to-day. The Administration is calling it an arms conference, or a Conference on the Limitation of Arma- ment, but the people are calling it a disarmament conference. The women who are here to-day say they are not content to sit back and wait while the great powers decide what to do with China. They want the conference to get right to work on disarmament, and they are convinced that if it begins by scrapping the battleships most of the Pacific problems will settle them? selves." Among the marchers were Dr. Kath? arine Bernent Davis, Miss Zona Gale, Mrs.

Florence Kelly, Miss Elinor Byrns, Mrs. Edward Thomas, Mrs. Jacob Riis, Mrs. Scott Nearing, Katharine Dever Blake, Mrs. Calvin Tompkins, Paula Jacobi, Mrs.

R. Thug Ties Theater Watchman To Seat, but Is Caught at Safe Loew Employee at 116th Street House, Held Up at Gun Point and Lashed to Orchestra Chair, Wrig? gles Loose Leads Police in a Successful Chase A thrilling robbery was foiled in Loew's West 116th Street Theater be? fore sun-up yesterday. George White, the faithful watchman of the theater, was patrolling tho empty house after the audience had gone and all the films and money had been locked in the safe. The house was dark. As George, the faithful watchman, was passing across the foyer a gun was suddenly flashed into his face.

"Hansup!" a coarse voice said. George, the faithful watchman, even then planning to dupe the desperate desperado, let his subconscious mind operate his hands. He could think just as well with his hands up as with them down. The desperado then did a wonderful thing Jle gave George, the faithful watchman, a $1.50 front seat in Mr. Loew's West 116th Street Theater.

He did even more. He tied him to it. A good memory, had this desperado, as well as a fertile mind and the ut? most, daring. Instantly recalling tho location of his own seat, though the ushers had all gone home, he stealthily approached it and rumaged underneath. He was not looking for his hat.

No. lilis hat was on him. He was looking for his jimmy and the drill to drill holes in the safe, and the dynamite to blow the door off its hinges. He found all these and crept to the office safe. Here George's mind began to work.

Shrinking his muscies up till he was but a third of his natural size, George, the faithful watclftuan, wriggled from his bonds. Braving the unknown dan? gers of the St. Nicholas Baths next door, undaunted George made his way to the street and fearlessly called a cop. The cop called another cop. Creeping back through the perils of the baths, climbing noiselessly through a window, tiptoeing to the theater office they found the robber and tho safe, and the safe, thank goodness, was unblown.

The prisoner, all his bravado gone, was taken to theWest 123d Street polico station and then to the Washington Heights Court. First he said he was Jo.e Perago, of San Antonio, but later corrected his name and address to Samuel Robinson, 166 West 123d Street. Magistrate Cobb held him without bail, for examination on Monday, on charges of attempted burglary, violat? ing the Sullivan concealed weapons law and possessing burglars' tools. Bank Closed as President, 'Tired Kills Himself "Have Done Nothing Wrong," Says Note Left by Chief of Joplin, Institution JOPLIN, Nov. of the First National Bank of Joplin an? nounced to-day that the bank would be closed on account of the suicide at a Mexico City hotel yesterday of Amos Gipson, president of the bank.

A di? rector of the bank said that a message had been sent to the Comptroller of the Currency last night asking him to examine the bank's condition because of the difficulty in realizing outstand? ing loans. The bank is solvent as far as they know, the directors declared. According to a Mexico City dispatch to "The Joplin Globe," Mr. Gipson, who formerly was a banker in Kansas City, was found dead in his room at a hotel yesterday morning with a re- volver clutched in his hand and a bul? let wound in his right temple. A note left bv the financier read: "I absolutely worn out.

Have never done anything wrong, but am lonesome and tired, so must quit. "My bank in Joplin is absolutely all right in every way. "I have more than $85,000 in this hotel." Then followed instructions for dis? posal of the money and shipping the body to Kansas City. love every one, but am worn out," the note concluded. i Made Love via Apple Pie, Says Wife, Defending Suit He and Her Alleged Rival Used to Eat From Same Piece, Mrs.

S. P. Applegate Charges Upon the question of how intimate a man and a woman can get over the subject of apple pie depends in some measure the outcome of the suit for annulment of marriage brought by Samuel D. Applegate, of Brooklyn, and the counter charges of his wife involv? ing an unnamed woman she describes as her rival. Justice Kapper, in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn, ordered Applegate, a su? perintendent in the employ of the Otis Elevator Company, to pay his wife $15 a week alimony and $100 counsel fees pending trial of his suit, which he based on the allegation that when he married Mrs.

Applegate she had not been divorced from her first husband, Charles Berg, Mrs. Applegate denied this promptly and firmly. In addition, she brought the apple pie allegation. Two years ago, she said, her husband became at? tentive to another young woman, whose name she said she wouldn't mention until the trial. This young woman often dined at the Applegate home, the wife declared.

And not only that. My, no! Much more, as witness her affi? davit: "At the table I have seen my hus? band reach over and take a piece of pie of which he had been eating and allow said woman to bite therefrom. I have also seen said woman return such acts of President's Pay Tax Upheld House Conferees Agree on 160 Amendments to Bill WASHINGTON, Nov. and Senate conferees on the tax revision bill, holding their first session to-day, agreed to approximately 160 of the 833 amendments to the bill. The most im? portant was that adopted by the Senate and continuing the taxes on the sal? aries of the President and Federal judges.

Chairman Penrose, of the Senate managers, said there was discussion of a provision by Congress for a per? manent fund for the President for official entertainment and a special fund to cover the cost of entertain? ments incident to the Arms Confer? ence. Senator Penrose said no sugges? tion of this kind had come from the President, but that the conferees seemed to be of the opinion that Con? gress should act, especially since $18,000 of the President's salary was to be returned to the Treasury as taxes; Moscow Street Cars Operate; Charge 1,000 Rubles Fare MOSCOW, Oct. 6 (By 142 electrical street railway trains of two cars each are in condition to op? erate in Moscow. Consequently only 22 per cent of the population can be ac? commodated. Until a few weeks ago only govern? ment employees and workers were al? lowed to use the street railways, and had special cards.

With the change in the government's trade policy the street railways were thrown open to the bourgeoisie from 10 a. m. till 4 p. and the fares fixed at 1,000 rubles a "stretch," which is about half a mile. The fares collected average about 1,500,000,000 rubles a month, and the monthly deficit on the street rail? ways is 2,000,000,000 rubles.

I appreciate pro? foundly the military preparation going on within these walls. I ain profoundly touched by the great honor which has come to me in this honorable and ven? erable institution." The only incident of an unusual na? ture during the exercises was the faint? ing of one of the color guards with the Americah flag directly in front of the platform.

The guardsman hit his head on the floor, receiving a gash on the forehead. He was attended by a sur? geon in the audience and remained prostrate until after the audience had gone; Foch Praises Team Work Those who were with Marshal Foch at the football game saw that he watched the players intently, occasion? ally using his field glasses.
