Anthony Amendment. Washington, Dec. 6. Woman suffragists brought their demand for a constitutional amendment to Congress again to-day and renewed their request for support to President Wilson. While the President declined to take up their cause In his annual address tomorrow as they asked, he promised to confer with Congress leaders over the amendment and from that assurance the women derived much encouragement.

Heretofore the President consistently has held that suffrage was a State Issue. What effect. If any, the recent defeat of suffrage in the elections in the eastern States may have had on his attitude was not disclosed, but the women were confident that their latest pilgrimage to the White House had been the most fruitful of all. The President's Interview was the climax to to-day's demonstration which included the presentation of petitions to congressmen, speechmakng on the steps of the Capitol, the Introduction of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment in the House and a parade up Pennsylvania avenue.

The women had with them another petition, which, less pretentious, was presented to Representative Mon-dell.

republican of Wyomfing, on the steps of the capitol. When the House assembled Mr. Mon-dell introduced the Susan B. Anthony amendment; Representative Raker of California, a democrat, Introduced an identical' measure, and Meyer London, the new socialist congressman from New York, presented still another. Dr.

Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National American Woman Suffrage association, sat in the gallery with a party of suffrage leaders and watched the proceedings. "We have introduced this self-same resolution in every Congress for the last 47 years," said Dr. Shaw, "and while we never have had any difficulty in getting it introduced, we rarely have enjoyed such a degree of co-operation from all the political parties." Satisfied that that was about all to be expected of Congress for one day, the women marched on the White House. Up Pennsylvania avenue with some brass bands and a fife and drum corps, they paraded between lines of police who were under the special instructions to see that they were unmolested. At the White House the 300 visiting leaders marched into the east room and the remainder of the procession waited outside during the interview with the President.

Miss mine Martin of Nevada and Miss Joliffe were spokesmen. The President told them he found It impos-sible to take up -suffrage In his address to-morrow because tht message was finished and he had devoted it to another subject. "All I can say with regard to what you are urging at present," said he, 'is this: I hope I shall always have an open mind and I shall certainly take the greatest pleasure In conferring In the most serious way with my colleagues at the other end of the city with regard to what is the right thing to do at this time concerning this great matter. I am always restrained as some of you will remember by the consciousness that I must speak for others as well as for myself so long as I occupy my present office, and therefore I do not like to speak for others until I consult others and see what I am Justified in saying." The suffragist leaders will be In the capital until next Wednesday, attending the first national convention of the Con gressional Union for Woman Suffrage, M'CALL REMOVED.

New York, Iec. 6. The federal prosecution of the' New York, New Haven Hartford railroad and Its directors accomplished the "practical ruin of that railroad" in the opinion of Charles S. Mellen as expressed on cross-examination to-day at tbe trial of the eleven former directors of the road on the charge of criminal violation of the Sherman law. It was from fear, he said, that this would be the result of the inquiry into New Haven affairs, begun in 1912 by the federal erand Jury in New York, that he got Lewis Cass Led yard to see President Taft and then the attorney-general, Oeorge W.

Wickersham, and induce them at least to limit the inquiry to the so-called Grand Trunk deal the alleged suppression of the Grand Trunk's proposed New England extensions. "This was done," continued Mr. Mellen, "but it meant indictment and my destruction and the rest they accomplished later." The former New Haven president explained that at the time the New Haven's financial affairs were in a "critical condition." The reason for this was, he said, that on account of the conflicting laws of the New England States the road was virtually unable to refund its obligations except through short term notes and large amount of these floating indemnities accumulated. "These financial questions were what It was desired to present to the people at Washington," he testified. "The limit-Inswof the scope of the investigation was for the benefit of the New Haven.

I was sure that Mr. Swacker's probe would do what it did do, practically ruin the New York, New Haven Hartford for a time or a period of years Up to the time of my Indictment this persecution or whatever you want to call it we had always paid dividends and had a handsome surplus." This testimony was adduced by Charles F. Choate, of counsel for the defense, after Frank M. Swacker for the government had elicited from the witness "as evidence agatnst the defendant Ledyard alone" that Ledyard had successfully used his influence with the President and th3 ftttomev-eeneral to prevent the grand jury inquiry from going into the charge of monopoly the same charge upon which the defendants are now being tried.

The Turkish torpedo boat destroyer, Yar Hissar, was built in 1907 at Creusot. She was 181 feet long, 19.7 feet beam and 9.5 feet draft. Her armament consisted of one six pounder, six three-pounders and two torpedo tubes. Her speed was 28 knots. BIG PETITION LOST.

Suffrage Document Four Miles Long Disappears Washington, Dec. 6. Prominent woman suffragists here are trying to clear up the mysterious loss of a part of the monster petition which has traveled across the continent for presentation to a committee of Congress demanding a federal woman suffrage amendment. The once four-mile script, now shorn of 2,610 feet and minus 100,000 signatures, "Ce the 'tic St. Tf iC nl 'n? tar All cigarettes are pure all these newest wood Warm Underwear by the New Haven and Its proposed Providence connection with New York by steamboat gave it no connection superior to the one It already enjoyed from New London, the terminus of its New London northern road.

Mr. Mellen denied he had ever suggested to the Grand Trunk that the line toe abandoned. "On the other hand," he said, "I wanted them to build it I wanted to see them punished for all the trouble there had been between us. I knew they'd lose money and a lot of it." The real reason it was given up, he said, was the inability of the Grand Trunk to finance it. He had seen an official cablegram from Loudon to that effect, he swore.

After the death of Hays, Mellen said that he made virtually the same offer to Edson J. Chamberlin, Hays successor, and that this culminated in the memoranda of November 13, 1912, which was the basis of a proposed agreement whereby the Grand Trunk "not only got our but continued to enjoy its existing lines." The agreement was of such an ad- vantageous character to the Grand Trunk, he said, that it would have re- quired a modification of the New Haven's arrangements with the Canadian Pacific on a lower basis. It would have been reached, he added, had It not been for "untoward events" the grand jury Investigation. As illustrating the New Haven's alleged innocent Intenyons, Mr. Choate brought out that the agreement contemplated that in case of dispute between the two roads, the chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission -was to appoint the arbiters to settle It.

Had the agreement been consummated, Mellen said, not only would the people of New Eng'and have enjoyed lower rates, but through an arrangement to handle the Grand Trunk's export traffic, the port of Boston would have secured increased shipping business and facilities. (New England, he said, was only "a switching yard for trunk line roads." For this reason, no rates could be made either in or out of New England without the consent of the trunk lines. The New Haven at the meetings in New Tork of the trunk line association the rate-making body could "vociferate and that's all," he said. As preparatory to showing that the bringing together of the numerous independent roads in -New England under the wlng of the New Haven was of benefit to that territory, Mr. Choate had the witness trace on illuminated maps the two score or jnore of short lines that existed 40 years ago.

BRITISH SHIP CAPTURED. Turks Take Vessel on Tigris Follow. Ins Retreat from Bagdad. Constantinople, Dec. 6, via London.

Capture of another British vessel on the Tigris by the Turks in following up the British retreat from before Bagdad Is reported by the Turkish war office In an official statement issued to-day. The British were further harassed in their retreat before reaching their prepared position at Kut-El-Amara, according to the statement, which says: "On December 5, on the Irak front, the enemy was concentrating near Kut-El-Amara in a posiiAi fortified beforehand. "On December 3 our troops approached within two hours' march of Kut-El-Amara, pressing enemy from the west and north, and thereby forcing enemy troops which were on the bank of the nver opposite Kut-EMmara to take refuge on board their vessels. "Between Kut-El-Amara and Bagh- I Kaleh we captured an enemy vessel laden! with ammunition, and several prisoners." 1 OCR J1TXEY OFFER TIS AND 5c. Don't miss this Put vn IM.

Otherwise they could not outsell all other cigarettes costing over 5c You can't tell whether they will just suit your taste until you try them. At the sametime, you can easily prove how sensible they are by these two tests. Most men who try Fatimas say "Good Bye!" to all other cigarettes right away. That's why Fatimas sell so fast.

JOUr self the character of innocence. Mr. Mellen pictured the Grand Trunk's activities in extending its lines into New Eng- land, not as having been designed for the purpose of legitimate competition with the New Haven, but as a threat to force the hand of the New Haven in connection with the latter' traffic relations with the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk's chief rival. Mr. Mellen disclosed that the New Haven had about 1908 entered into a joint traffic arrangement with the Canadian Pacific whereby all of the New Haven's territory was opened up to that road through Its junction with the Boston Maine at Newport, Vt.

The Canadian Pacific also, got by this arrangement a cheaper differential to New Tork city than any the other trunk lines. "At all times," said Mr. Mellen, "we were ready to give the Grand Trunk the same advantage, but Hays (then president of the Grand Trunk) wanted more." "How much more?" he was asked. "Just as much as he could get- I wrote to Hays that we could only treat with the same basis as our arrangement with the Canadian Pacific." "And after that he made these dem- onstrations?" asked Mr. Choate, refer- ring to the proposed extension of the Grand Trunk line from Palmer, to Providence and from White River Junction, to Boston.

"He did," replied the witness. The Palmer-Providence extension Mr. Mellen characterized as a venture which could not have been profitable to the Grand Trunk and which served no strategical advantage. It went through territory already adequately cared for CARRY STOMACH JOY IN YOUR VEST POCKET J. IV.

One of the greatest successes in the sale of medicine has been achieved "by Ml-o-na, the dyspepia remedy, and its sale Is increasing so rapidly that J. W. O'Sullivan. the popular druggist, has hard work to keep a stock on hand.

It is very popular with bankers, ministers, lawyers and others whose business or profession keeps them closely confined while those who have brought on indigestion through irregular eating, worry, or other causes, have found relief Tn this reliable remedy. Ml-o-na comes In tablet form and is sold in a metal box especially designed for convenience in carrying the mecfi-cine in the pocket or purse. It is pleasant to take, gives quick relief and should help any case, no matter of how long standing. This remedy, has been so uniformly successful that J. W.

O'Sullivan will In future sell Mi-o-na under a positive guarantee to refund the money if it should not prove entirely satis- fTactory. No other dyspepsia medicine ever had a large enough percentage of cures so that it could be sold in this manner. A guarantee like this speaks volumes for the merit of the remedy. There is no time like the present todo a thing that outfit to be done. If any one has dyspepsia, to-day is the best time to begin curing Adv.
