Declares There Was Something Lacing Besides Numbers Senator Clapp Says Higher Strata of Society Exerted Influence 120000 BUT NO KISS Men prominent in the public affairs of the country speaking yesterday afternoon atjthe mens meeting at the Columbia Theiiter to protest against the lack of protection afforded the women suffragists March 3 by the Washington police united in condemning not only the police department but Supt Sylvester for hia explanation before the Senate Investigators vin which he blamed the privates and captains of the force for not controlling the crowd They asserted that the incident would prove a great argument in behalf of woman suffrage Many telegrams voicing Indignation at the treatment of the suffragists were applauded the speakers included Corpl James Tanner who presided United States Senators Moses Clapp of Minnesota Charles Tnomas of Colorado John Works of alifornia and John Shafrotb of ulorado Charles Edward Russell the author and Louis Brandeis of Boston After the speaking the audience rose ind led by Mrs John Fremont sang America Sylvester Called a Proconsul The climax of the meeting was reached when Charles Edward Russell declared The proconsul of police is generous enough to give all the blame to his men in an effort to clear himself What an vmerican policeman doesnt know his nuslness There was something lacking in the police force besides numbers When the police want a parade to be a Miccess it is a success I have seen pa iades in Europe Australia America Japan and even the South Sea Islands hut never anywhere have I seen anything iko the incompetence displayed by the Washington police last Monday It that is the best we can do then we had better surrender our boast of American civilization We have none Everything which was in the hands of the women on Monday was a success the one thing in the hands of the men went to smash The speaker said there was a strange and Biaister humanity along the line of parade and that every man familiar with lum conditions in the larger cities knows where those men came from and why they were there seeking to break up the parade of women We ere developing a new kind of humanity and if tills fruit of man made civilization is the best we can do it is time we stopped and tried something else said The praconsul of police hides himself behind the autocracy which rules the District You are but reaping the results of your form of government Mr Russell declared that a pure democracy where nier and women alike have the ballot is the only cure for conditions such as prevailed during the suffrage parade Jwo Parades Compared Mr Rutsell aroused much enthusiasm when 1 made a comparison between the suffrage parade and the inaugural pa fade flhe first was expressive of the hope the glory and the lofty Ideals of the future the second yas a long uniformed monotonous parade of the methods of klDlng humanity an expression of brute fore and ths strong arm a pageant of the Dark Ages Describing what he called a sinister force of a small minority of humanity which Is eeeking to arrogate to itself the right tp dictate to the majority in governmental affairs Senator Clapp declared It is a shame that after nineteen tenturies the pure womanhood of this nation cannot move over the streets of a free nations Capital without being subjected to insult I believe that last Mondays episode will awaken people to the fact that they cannot be associated with wrong without taking the consequences of what wrong does While poor brutsd Joaiers on Pennsylvania avenue and the members oi the sinister forces would sjot recognize one another the upper ptrata will know that they cant sneer Ft good without taking the responsibility ffor what the lower strata of humanity does Higher Society Blamed The senator made it plain that in his opinion the Insults and jeers of March 3 came at the result of opposition to woman suffrage from those higher up in the social strata and that he believed the police were under the influence of this higher up strata The senator defined the sinister movement as captains of industry who seek to prostitute free government by taking from men the fruits of the suffrage as they would keep from women the ballot of suffrage Speaking of the argument that women should stay at home caring for the children the senator said It is brutally unjust to hold woman responsible for the care and protection of the young and still hold from her the weapon for giving that care and protection the ballot He Bald that certain influences dread woman suffrage because they

Methodist Church and was much admired for the sweetness of her voice as well as for her personal charms alert to right and so insistent on right as American womanhood Louis Brandeis of Boston spoke of Woman suffrage as something more than justice to women He called it a duty to society and said that he was converted to woman suffrage because he had found that in his years of struggle to benefit humanity he never could have succeeded but for the aid of good women Campaign in Third Stage Senators Charles Thomas and John Bhafroth both of Colorado spoke of the benefits which woman suffrage had been to that State in purifying elections by taking the polling place farther from the saloon and nearer to the schoolhouse Senator Thomas said that Mondays display reveals that the woman suffrage movement has reached the third stage through which all great movements must go the first being rfdicule the second argument and the third objection by physical opposition Senator John Works of California declared that the best thing to do is to dismiss Mondays episode as unworthy of the consideration of decent people and suggested that woman suffrage is not for the benefit of the women but for the benefit of the state and the nation He declared that he believed the claim of the women to the ballot Is right and just and that womens greatest work is to help elect decent clean men to legislative and administrative positions in the body politic 0 Fire Gave Up Its Gold In calling the meeting to order Corpl James Tanner said The cause of woman suffrage had a stormy passage up Pennsylvania avenue Monday under circumstances so outrageously disgraceful that they cast a foul blot on American manhood but out of the fire of it came the proved gold I pity the stunted manhood that failed to appreciate the fact that your pageant representing as It did a crusade on behalf of honesty purity and the moral and spiritual uplifting of humanity was far more important to humanity than could be the pageant of the following day marking the Induction Into office of a few men or set of men If that ribald mass of self disgraced humanity could have realized what It meant for the future

governmental mechanism He has done these things without excitement and without studied calculation of the dra matlo effects Mr Wilson did not pause to note whether society recovered from the spasm

President Roosevelt That at any rate is his present purpose At Trenton he was in constant ahd full touch with the legislature of New Jersey and he expects to duplicate his performances in Washington Congress Is a more difficult body to handle however but he does not appear daunted by the size of his task No Secret Government He is buoyed up by the conviction that the people of the United States

them close to him to inspire militant loyalty as well as kindly esteem and friendship The cabinet eat barks on Its career earnestly and unanimously for Wilson There are men on the outside ready to fill any gap in the now unbroken line should discord develop and the President deem it essential to create a vacancy All Is Harmony Now Up to the time it became certain that Col Bryan was to become Secretary of State friends of Mr Wilson manifested apprehension lest the plank in the last Democratic national platform declaring in favor of the principle of a single presidential term be the first cause of discord between the two men if the President and the Secretary of State have reached an understanding on this point they have taken nd one Into their confidence So far as the public know so far as members of the cabinet other than Mr Bryan know Mr Wilson Is reserving his judgment His decision is In abeyance and no inkling of It has reached people on the outside Right now all is harmony between the President and Mr Bryan and there 1 no Indication at this time that It will not continue It Was a bold stroke when In his first official announcement Mr Wilson barred oflioe8eekers from his presence No other President within the memory of the oldest politician in Washington had the courage or audacity to place the ban upon unrequested visitations to the White House by patronage hunters Othef Presidents would have liked to do it but with what they considered good reason they hesitated In the days before the Spanish war before the United States had become an important factor in world politics and when domestic problems were npt as numerous and complicated as they are now the President had more time for patronage questions No Time for Job Hunters But with the new and great problems arising from the acquisition of foreign territory ceded by Spain with new re sponsibilltles and international obligations and with domestic issues of tremendous importance developing it became an imposition on the President to ask that lie devote his time to office seekers Every President since McKln ley has expressed the wish that he could be relieved of the consideration or patron age distribution but none of them was ready to depart from the custom of dl gressing from matters of state to ques tions involving the award of offices to loyal party men There is more than enough work for the President to do If he never gave a single thought to an ap pointment Mr Wilson realized this be fore he came to Washington and being a man of determination as well as conviction he unhesitatingly issued his Injunc tion against the omceseeking class The exodus of Job hunters began lmme diately and now only a small percentage of the multitude that came to press their claims remain The Presidents novel attitude however does not close the door of hope to the men who are ready and eager to succeed Republicans in office The Jobs are all available and will be distributed with

FIRST PAGE gresslve legislation is drafted progressive Republican assistance can be secured sufficientto make up any possible losses In the Democratic column When conferences with congressional leaders begin at the White House this week it is anticipated that the advice of a number of progressive Republicans in Congress will be sought The President talked with many members of Congress at Trenton and has jconsulted briefly with several in the last few days but he expects to devote almost the entire week to the discussion of legislation and policy so that he may complete his special message in harmony with the prevailing sentiment In the National Capital The break that occurred In the Democratic caucus in the Senate last week is apparently to have no important effect upon the anticipated control of that body by the so called progressive Democratic forces While Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia accepted as a personal rebuff the defeat of his colleague Senator Bacon for the position of President pro tempore subsequent conferences of the Democrats have indicated that reorganization will be accomplished with the so called progressive forces in control of committees and Benate machinery Chairmanship for Tillman The strong personal fight made by Senator Tillman to secure the chairmanship of the appropriations committee to which seniority of service would entitle him Is expected to be successful Senator Simmons also is expected to secure the chairmanship he desires that of the powerful finance committee which handles all tariff bills In each case however as with the other Important committees the memberships will probably be so dis tributed among new and old senators as to leave the balance of control In the hands of the forces of which Senator Kern is the present leader The reorganization will be perfected it is expected before the Senate ends the special session now in progress Republicans have completed their committee lists and are ready to offer them to the Democrats at nce The Republicans have asked for an increase In their rep resentation on three committees so that Senator La Follette wlfl not have to be dropped from the finance committee

with the Burlington system In 1856 Mr Colton Was appointed United States consul at Venice Italy1 to succeed William Dean Howells He remained In that post for several years guarding the interests of this country during the period embraced by the unification of Italy The post at that time required unusual diplomatic skill andabllity andMr Colton guarded well the interests of the country he

tour of the worldj giving special attention to the trade of the Orient which even at that early date was attracting the attention of Americans His work In turning the vast tea trade of the Orient from the European lines of travel to the Pacific route is regarded as his greatest achievement as a railroad man This feat served to awaken the American financiers to the possibility of securing Oriental business and paved the way for the development of the great commercial traffic of the Pacific Ocean Acquired Banking Interests Returning to this country after a period of two years abroad Mr Colton continued his connections with the Union Pacific Railroad and extended his business Interests to many banks through the country traversed by the Union Pacific He was president of and director in
