Dunne, in his telegram to the Sheriff severely criticised the rublic hanging of Joe cie Berry, which described as a "scandal and disgrace to this State." The Governor is particularly incensed because the Sheriff told him that the execution would be in accordance with the law, and the Governor took this to mean that it would be private. The telegram to the Sheriff follows: "Hon. James A.

Oct. IS. The first great Eastern fight on woman suffrage is today only 24 hours away. At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning the polls in New Jersey will be opened to determine at a special election whether women shall be given the right to vote. Two weeks from tomorrow the three other Eastern states of New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, likewise, will decide whether they will join their 12 Western sister states in giving women the ballot.

President Wilson's declaration for suffrage, reinforced by a thorough and vigorous campaign waged by organizations and workers, is expected by suffrage leaders to carry the day for suffrage in his home state of New Jersey. Their victory is sure, and by a comfortable margin, they state. On the other hand those opposed to suffrage are inclined to laugh at these claims and assert that the proposed constitutional amendment to enfranchise women will be buried under an avalanche of votes. More Than BOO Speaker. More than 500 women speakers and other workers went over the battlefield today, their automobiles carrying them through the sections where the fight will be hottest, into even the smallest towns and hamlets.

In the big cities the campaign was similarly Intensified. From many vantage points including thousands of street cars', cartoons and picturesque posters pleaded silently with voters to cast their ballots for woman suffrage. Less spectacular, but none the less thoroughly organized, was the campaign conducted by opponents of suffrage. Party lines have been obliterated by the leaders working both for and against the causer Some suffrage workers feel that both organizations are quietly opposing them, but there is no open evidence that this is a statewide condition. Women watchers and workers to the number of 5000 admitted to the polls at the forthcoming election for the first time in the State, received their final instructions today and prepared to take their places tomorrow at virtually every one of the polling precincts in the State.

Individual Donation. The funds of the suffragists have come entirely from individual donations. Mrs. George J. Gould is understood to have been a contributor.

WASHINGTON.

Oct. IS. The severe criticism of President Wilson by the Morning- Star of New Orleans, a Cath olic organ, for his decision to recognize Carranza is causing the administration much concern. For many months it has realized that its entire Mexican policy was not pleasing to the- Catholic heir archy and some of the administration's political advisers insist that "the situa tion is full of dynamite." For approximately two years Car dinal Gibbons and ether Catholic pre lates have been seeking to get the ad ministration to change the Mexican policy. Last spring Secretary of State Bryan was furnished with a great num ber of affidavits giving full details of the manner In which churches have been looted, priests killed and nuns driven from convents and subjected t.

gross abuses by Carranza soldiers. Af fidavits are on file tending to establish the fact that Carranza. acting through representatives, has from time to time closed churches and In other cases has allowed priests to officiate under extremely strict regulations. Represents Cardinal's lew. The Vatican marked Carranza as an opponent of the church as soon as he began his fight on Huerta.

It Is be liever" here that the New Orleans news pap' statement, which Is accepted as representing the views of Cardinal Gib bona, is only the forerunner of a general attack upon the administration by Cath clic papers. Secretary Lansing before deciding on recognition elicited definite promises from the Carranza authorities that "no cue would suffer in his life and prop erty" because of religious beliefs. Ad ministration officials feel therefore that the Carranza assurances must be taken as an Index of future policy and the at titude of the Carranza authorities toward the clergy awaited before Judgment Is passed. Before leaving the State Department, Secretary Bryan knew he was being severely criticised throughout the South for the manner In which nuns and priests were mistreated. Determination of the form in which recognition of the Carranza Government shall be extended was the object of a conference here today of the Pan-American diplomats.

The conference had been called by Secretary Lansing and meeting with him were the diplomatic representatives here of Brazil, Chile. Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala. Will rrrnrnt IVote. Recognition by countries having diplomatic representatives In Mexico, was believed, would take the form of a renewal of relations In an official way. The United States and other countries now without representatives in Mexico City were to accord recognition by presenting a note to Carranza through Ellseo Arredondo, his representative here.

A statement on conditions in Mexico based upon a report from Gen. Obregon and given out by Kliseo Arredondo, declared that the only organized opposition to the Carranza Government was confined to portions of the states of Sonora and Chihuahua, adding that an expedition had been sent to Sonora to assist Constitutionalist forces there in smashing the Maytorena army. The statement also announces the surrender of many former Villa officers. Baltimore Catholic Organ to Respect "Will of Chief Maglxtrnte." BALTIMORE. Oct 18.

Mgr. C. F. Thomas, editor of the Catholic Review of this city, has written for that "The President has approved the rec-immendation of the Pan-American conference that Gen. Venustiano Carranza be recognized as tve President of Mexico.

We no longer kick. We obey the will of our chief magistrate. The protests of the Catholic Church in this country have not availed. Yet we feel no resentment. We regret the decision.

It has been very clearly demonstrated that Carranza, from his career and character, is a man wholly unfit for the task of re-establishing Justice, freedom and stability in Mexico. Ixt us hope the public, for lack of sources of information possessed by the President, has been deceived In its appreciation of the Mexican General or bandit. We await the cutcomlng with foreboding and apprehension, yet not without hope for the best." Brooklyn Organ 1'rlnta Denunciation of Carransa. NEW YORK, Oct. 13.

Mrs. Caroline Thummel McCarty, of 4668 Labadie avenue, a lawyer, wife of William C. McCarty, a morning; newspaper reporter, lost her suit before Judge Jones today to compel the Efficiency Board to permit her to enter the examination for the position of head of the Municipal Free Legal Aid Bureau. Mrs. McCarty was represented by B.

H. Charles, as counsel, and he said a motion for a new hearing would be filei, and that an appeal was likely. The examination was to be held more than a month ago, but was postponed because of Mrs. Mccarty's suit. Thomas H.

Rogers, chairman of the board, ruled that only men could take the examination. He testified, in a hearing on Mrs- McCarty's petition for a writ of mandamus, that he believed the position of head of the Legal Aid Bureau was a "man's Job," ana that situations would arise with which, in his opinion, only a man could deal properly. Judge Jones held that the Efficiency Board had the power, under the charter, to enforce rules and regulations governing examinations, so long as it acted within reason. The only question, he said, was whether the board had acted reasonably in limiting this examination to men. He said the court should not interfere with the administrative or executive department of the government, unless it was clearly of the opinion that such interference was Justified, and that the department in question should have the benefit of any reasonable doubt.

He said it was shown that the board had considered the matter seriously before promulgating its rule, and that "in view of all the facts and circumstances presented in connection with the case," the Court was not ready to say that its action was unreasonable. Pending the settlement of the mandamus suit, John W. Calhoun Is filling the position by temporary appointment. He will take the examination when it is given and Mayor Kiel says he intends to appoint Calhoun, if his name is among the three on the eligible list.

15. Another Cabln2t crisis has developed, this time around Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster anti-home rule leader, who became Attor ney-General in the coalition Cabinet. It Is reported that Carson has tendered lis resignation and that unless the CaM- net takes his view at its meeting today he no longer will attend councils. A possible clew to Carson's position is given Iy Reynolds' Weekly Newspaper, the organ of Sir Henry James Dalziel. ons of the most persistent critics of the Government in the House of Commons, which says: "It is almost Impossible to imagine that the next week or so will pass without changes in the Cabinet.

Sir Ed ward Carsons, the Attorney-General, has tendered his resignation because ho holds strong views on the vital points of concentration and conduct of the war, without compulsory service, and has intimated that unless the Cabinet takes his view he can no longer attend councils. There Is every reason to be lieve, that the Cabinet will adopt Sir Edward's view and thus his resignation probably will be withdrawn. If this is the case, at least one and probably more resignations may be expecied." Sir Edward Carson is believed to be protesting against Cabinet secrecy and a system under which everything con cerning the war is In the hands of a small committee of about four or fivj members. "No resignation is tolerable at this stage," the Times adds, "except in thj case of a man who has foreseen a long series of blunders. Into which the want of policy has led us and has striven to warn his colleagues and has failed.

That, we must assume. Is Edward Carson's case, and everything now points to his being the first to reach the breaking point." The Daily Chronic.e, expressing the fear that conscriptionlsts will try break tip the Cabinet even before Lord Derby is given a chance to try his voluntary scheme of enlistment, gives a port that Winston Spencer Churchill Is desirous of being In the fighting line and intends to join his regiment, in which case, the newspaper says, he would resign his seat as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the Cabinet.

Oct. President Wilson will open his campaign for his national defense program in a speech before the Manhattan Club in New York on the evening of Nov. 4. It will be the President's first public utterance on the subject since he approved the plans prepared by Secretary Garrison and Secretary Daniels, and the speech is expected to be of significance, because the President is expected to disclose the reasons which he will urge upon Congress why the United States should be more adequately prepared for defense. Today the President received a letter from the Maryland peace delegation for national defense, asking him to take steps to assure the United States against attack from abroad.

The five-year naval building program, which contemplates the addition of 16 capital ships to the navy by 1925, will tax the normal capacity of American ship yards, in the opinion of navy officers. Secretary Daniels said today that fact had weight in determining over what period the expenditure of the which will be asked for was to be distributed. American yards now are busy with new ships and have contracts tt keep them engaged for several years. Without a great increase in both public and private shipbuilding facilities, the Secretary thought it would be virtually impossible to construct the 16 ships in any less time than the period fixed upon.

Nelon Fare Was Paid. The Circuit Attorney's office learned today that Edmond E. Menard of Springfield, who was wanted as a witness in a case set for last Monday, and to whom money was sent for his traveling expenses, came to St. Louis but immediately got married and forgot about the case in court. Menard formerly was employed by the Avis Cider and Vinegar whose president, Harry A.

Nelon, is accused of having issued a false warehouse receipt, on which $3500 was borrowed from the State National Bank. Menard was said to be able to testify to the contents of a number of barrels, which, the State charges, were filled with water, though the warehouse certificates represented that they contained vinegar. The date of the alleged offense was Sept. 23, 1914. The case was delayed more than six months by the State's inability to find Menard.

Lrfery it was learned that he was working as a cooper in Springfield, and $7.79 was sent him by Assistant Cir cuit Attorney Baer to pay for his ticket and traveling expenses to St. Louis. Menard did not appear last Monday and the case was continued until today. Investigation, in the meantime, showed that Tie arrived in St. Louis last Mon day, but instead of going to court, went to the marriage license office and to Justice Rice's office with Nora Delonay of 1715 Papin street and was married to her.

The -bride told detectives today that she had not seen Menard since the day of the marriage. The case was continued until Nov. 15, and the authorities will try to again find the missing witness. BROKERAGE COMPANY ASSIGNS Paul Lambert Co. of Buffalo Said to have Liabilities of BUFFALO, N.
