A mass of sninll detail as to the disorder that Interfered with the suffrage parade here on March 3 was elicited today by the Senate subcom-nnttes investigating the occurrence from 81 The entire day was devoted to the examination of witnesses who occupied the stand but a few minutes each. Several men and women who marched in the parade told the committee of the trouble and embarrassment caused them by the crowd and criticised the conduct of the police along the line of march. Among these was Mme. Mountford. an evangelist, who, in addition to detaiflng her experiences In the parade, declared she had been roughly used by a Washington police captain while watching the inauguration ceremonies the next day.

She said that Capt. James E. Mulhall iu refusing to allow her to cross the police lines with a suffrage banner, handled her roughly and exclaimed: "You women had your day yci- terday." sV sKvt e- dfeaiusi vuiMiiiii in connection with the Incident are being in- esugatea uy the Police Department. Says Police Were Flippant. Mrs.

Elizabeth A. Ballock attacked the conduct of the special policemen. She described them as "rough, coarse men, whose attitude was facetious aud who made flippant, silly remarks." Mrs. Olive II. Hasbrouck and Randolph Forrest told of policing a portion of the crowd at the end of the line of march themselves after vain appeals to police-men.

'We had no difficulty then." said Mr. Hasbrouck. "The people were good na-turcd and were willing to do what we asked." Mrs. Forrest told of nn attack by three national guardsmen upon float' which she accompanied. She said they Jumped ou tbe float and tore down some of tli decorations.

The women of the company, she said, were badly frightened. Appeals Ignored, Is Asserted. Dion Miller, a Washington lawyer, testified that of 150 policemen he snw along the line of march only two or three were taking active steps to keep the crowd back. He appealed to several olllcers without result. He declared that the crowd would have obeyed any concerted net Ion by the police.

Miss Ella Wambaugh, of Cambridge. said thiit the policemen Unit she snw were doing nothing to keep back the crowd NAVY J08EPEUS DANIELS AT HIS VIRGINIA FIGHT HOTTER Montague, Tucker And Jones Urge Willard's Appointment. DR. PAGE'S FRIENDS RALLY Willard's Friends Believe President Wilson Will Appoint Hlra Ambassador To Rome. Washington, March 12.

Congressman Andrew Jackson Montague, of Richmond, former Governor of Virginia; former Congressman Harry St. George Tucker and Congressman William A. Jones, three of the leaders of the Virginia "anti-organization" faction in Virginia, called at the White House today to press the claims of Col. Joseph E. Wlllard for diplomatic honors should a Virginian be recognized by President Wilson for a foreign post.

Messrs. Montague and Tucker saw the President and strongly urged Colonel Willard's appointment, Mr. Jones arrived at the White House during the conference and did not see the President. The three Virginians left together. The announcement in The Sun this morning of intense rivalry between the backers of Thomas Nelson Page, the Vir ginia author, and Colonel Willard for diplomatic honors stirred Virginia political circles In Washington.

It was the topic of conversation also in the gossip over diplomatic appointments. Rivalry Between Factions Keener. The rivalry between the Willard and Page camps is growing keener daily. Congressman Carter Glass, of Lynchburg, who went home Monday, came rushing back to Washington this morning to put in some hard licks for Colonel Willard. He and Congressman Montague are the men now in command of the Willard forces and are leading the fight at the White House and at the State Department.

There is a feeling tonight among the Willard forces, after the day's conferences, that Colonel Willard will be given a diplomatic berth, probably the Ambassadorship at Rome. There is no official confirmation for this statement. Tucker And Glass Friends Of Wilson One of the most Important developments in the struggle today was the appearance in Washington of Mr. Tucker and Congressman Glass in Mr. Willard's behalf.

Both of these men are close to President Wilson. Mr. Tucker for years has been an intimate friend of the Chief Executive. Mr. Glass has been drawn Into close contact with him by conferences over the banking and currency program.

Unconfirmed rumors also reached the capital that President Edwin A. Alderman, of the University of Virginia, another close friend of the President, is supporting Colonel Willard. This report was repeated in the gossip over the fight, but not substantiated. Walter A. Watson, of the Fourth Virginia district, who gave Virginia justice a national reputation by the dignity and fairness with which he presided over the Beattie murder trial, is expected in Washington tomorrow.

He is backing Dr. Page. Judge Watson, though more friendly with the organization than the anti-organization, is recognized as a progressive in many of his po litical ideas. He Is expected to jump Into; the fight for Dr. Page as soon as he gets on the ground.

The friends of Dr. Page have not been fighting as aggressively as Colonel Willard's backers. Letters Arriving In A Stream. Information also is to the effect that a perfect stream of letters from Virginia, some favoring Dr. Page and others Colonel Willard, are pouring into the capital.

Some are addressed to Secretary of State Bryan, others to the White House, but the greater number to members of Congress from Virginia. One phase of the fight overshadows the personal fortunes of Colonel Willard and Dr. Page. This relates to the issue of "machine" and "anti-machine" politics, which has been pressed into the contest by some of Colonel Willard's friends. So is of in B.

in to on an to Dictated To By Tammany Chief It Is Declared. Albany, N. March 12. There has been an open break between Governor Sul-zer and Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, according to friends of the Governor.

They declared today that the Governor is preparing to force the issue into the A statement given to the press by a close adviser of the Governor says: "Why is all the Governor's legislation being held up? Bills which were advancing rapidly early In February are now weeks behind. Here is the answer The Tammany leader has given specific instructlons.to every legislator he controls He may use all the instruments In his power, but he won't be able to dictate to the Governor. Mr. Sulzer is determined to get his program of constructive legis lation through, even if it is necessary to call an extraordinary session of the legis lature." Trouble Over Gaffney. The war talk first came from a source close to the Governor, coupled with the name of ex-Alderman James E.

Gaffney, a close friend and former business associate of Tammany Leader Charles F. Murphy. The Governor's friend told some newspa per correspondents at the Capitol after pledging them not to use his name that Mr, Murphy had urged the Governor to appoint Mr. Gaffney State Superintendent of Good Roads, to succeed C. Gordon Reel, another friend of Murphy, whom the Governor had Just removed from office.

Mr. Murphy's persistence on behalf of Gaffney, it was further stated, had taken the form of threats that his constructive legislation would be held up by the Legis lature, which body is dominated by Tam many Hall. As a result, it was declared, the Governor, feeling that Gaffney, with his close Tammany alliance, was not a proper man for the place at the head of the, good roads department, had come to the conclusion that Gaffney must be turned down, even if this should mean a fcght with the organization. Following an explicit denial of Tammany Leader Murphy this morning that he had urged the appointment of Mr. Gaffney for this or any other place, Governor Sulzer was asked whether the statement of the Tammany leader corresponded with his understanding of the situation.

"I haveTiothing to say," was the Governor's reply. Well-Planned Affair, Is Asserted. Another version of the trouble given out by a friend of Governor Sulzer, runs as follows "The Governor is receiving letters from all parts of the State in favor of the candidacy of Mr. Gaffney. That shows that it was a well-planned affair.

Mr, Murphy must have known of the use of Mr, Gaffney's name. Many legislators have come down to the Governor to tell him that unless the appointment of the man to succeed Reel was one acceptable to the organization, his constructive legislation was doomed to defeat. "It is asinine for Mr. Murphy to say that there is no trouble between the execu tlve chamber and Tammany Hall," the statement continued. "Does anybody believe it? At the end of January the Legis lature was ahead of its record in the prog ress of work.

Now it is a month behind, Not one piece of constructive legislation has been allowed to move in the last month. Furthermore, the nomination of Milton E. Gibbs, whom the Governor ap pointed a member of the State Hospital Commission, has been held in the Senate Finanep Committee for more than a month The word went out that Glbbs was to turned down, but Tammany changed Us mind. The name is still before the Senate Finance Committee. May Call Extra Session.

"The game is to see what the Governor will do and make him show his hand on ap pointments. Well, Mr. Murphy will wait a long time if that is bis purpose. If the Legislature does not pass the bills, and the conditions are shown to require, It will be brought back in special session. The Gov ernor can wait here as long as the Legislature." "These reports are being circulated by persons supposed to be in your confidence and working as part of your administration," the Governor was told.

"I don't ask anybody to believe anything as coming from me, except what I say myself," said the Governor-sharply. "I am not saying much, but I am doing a lot. Results speak for themselves. The reople know what I am doing." With the Governor in this unusually bellicose mood It is thought that there is much real ground for the belief that a bitter war has been declared. HQTAFTERSCOTT'SSCALP Sulzer Prefers Charges Of "Non-Feasance And Neglect Of Duty" Against Superintendent.

Albany, N. March 12. Charges of "non-feasance and neglect of duty" were preferred today against Col. Joseph F. Scott, Superintendent of State Prisons, by Governor Sulzer.

The Governor in presenting the charges wrote Colonel Scott that he would be given an opportunity to be heard in his defense tomorrow, either orally or In writing. The charges are based largely upon the report submitted by the Governor's committee of inquiry and in substance are as follows That Colonel Scott "Intentionally and willfully neglected and refrained" from dis missing a sales agent of the prisons' department until his dismissal was demanded by the Governor that Scott appointed Dr. James V. May as superintendent of the Matteawan Asylum instead of Dr. Amos T.

Baker, assistant superintendent of the institution, who stood first on the Civil Service list that Scott failed to Investigate reports that Dr. May altered the hospital case book, containing a record of an examination of Harry K. Thaw, made by Dr. May and Dr. John W.

Russell, and "that even Thaw himself was allowed to alter such record, and that Dr. Russell, then superintendent of the institution, was not suspended or dismissed That because of neglect to maintain proper supervision over Matteawan State Hospital Thaw was permitted to receive and have large sums of money in his pos session that Dr. Russell permitted vari ous persons to see Thaw, practically with out restriction, and to transact business with him without official surveillance over him; that Thaw was permitted "to give large sums of money to some of these persons and money to all of them," and that Dr. Russell knew that John Nicholson An-hut had received $25,000 In cash and marketable securities for the purpose of releasing Thaw from the hospital That Colonel Scott neglected to suspend Dr. Russell after he learned of the alleged attempt on the part of Anhut to bribe Dr.

Russell, and after Anhut had testified before the committee of inquiry that Dr. Russell had told him "he would not do y-thing for Thaw without being paid for it," and that "$20,000 would not begin to compensate him," and that by accepting Dr. Russell's resignation as superintendent over the telephone Colonel Scott "Intentionally attempted to defeat any demand of the Governor for the dishonorable dismissal of said superintendent of said hospital." "WARNS GIRLS AWAY FROM CITY Milwaukee Federation Of Charities Says They Need $8.00 A Week. Milwaukee, March 12. A working woman eeds $8.90 a week, except in domestic service, to support herself in Milwaukee.

This is the opinion expressed by the social service committee of the Milwaukee Federation of Charities in a report made public today. The committee urges young women who expect to support themselves to keep away from the city unless they have an assured income of at least $9 a week, domestic service excepted. With Speclflo Questions To Fol low As Developments Arise. Washington, March 12. President Wil son has decided upon a policy of meeting legislative developments as they arise rather than planning a program for the extraordinary session of Congress.

This, It was learned from White House callers today, will be the President's an ewer to those who are urging that currency legislation, Phlllipine Independence, Alaskan questions and other subjects, be taken up during the session of the new Congress. The President was advised by Represen tative Oscar Underwood, the Democratic majority leader, as to the status of the tariff bills being prepared by the Ways and Means Committee. He learned that the committee was making rapid progress, but that it might not be ready on April 1, the date originally fixed for the. opening of the new Congress. Mr.

Underwood thought that at least a week more should be given to preparation, and as it was on Mr. Underwood's advice that Mr. Wilson fixed upon April 1, there is no doubt that he will name a later date when issuing his proclamation. Underwood Por Tariff Only. Representative Underwood himself believes that tariff reform alone should be attempted at the coming session.

As he left the White House, Representative Jones, of Virginia, who la championing the cause of Philippine independence, met him and sought to Impress upon him the necessity for some action on that question during the extra session. Mr. Jones secured an appointment with the President for Friday, when he will further urge Philippine legislation. The net result of pressure for action on subjects other than tariff has been the adoption of a policy of meeting the legislative situation as it unfolds in the new Congress. The President will send first a message pointing out the necessity for tariff revision and will follow this with a series of messages upon specific things which he believes Congress may be able to act upon without unnecessarily prolonging the sessions.

This course Is said to have been approved at today's Cabinet meeting. The suggestion that only tariff revision be attempted at the coming session arose from the fear that other subjects might becloud the tariff question and interfere with It. Assurances have been coming, however, from various quarters, principally the Senate, that the anticipated difficulty with the tariff may not materialize after all. The reorganization of the Senate, with control of the committees In the hands of Senators who are in close sympathy with the Administration, Is said to be one of the circumstances from which the conclusion has been drawn that the tariff as well as other questions may'be disposed of without great difficulty. Cannon Among- Callers.

It was a day of many callers for the President, and while most of them were members of Congress being consulted about patronage questions, some talked legislative policies and others came merely to pay their respects. Among these was "Uncle Joe" Cannon, former Speaker of the House, who said good-by to the President before! departing to his home In Danville, 111. With his cigar conspicuously displayed in a manner familiar to official Washington, the former Speaker stood on the Bteps of the executive offices talking to the correspondents who had asked him the purpose of his visit. "I came to say good-by to the President snd wish him well," he said, "ne's my President as well as anybody's else's, you know." Senator Overman, of North Carolina, presented to the President the name of Whitehead Kluttz, of Salisbury, for appointment as Ambassador to Brazil. That former Senator Gardner, of Maine, and former Governor Burke, of North Dakota, might have posts was learned, but it was not said just, what positions they would be offered.

It was reiterated unofficially that George W. Guthrie, Democratic State chairman for Pennsylvania and a former Mayor of Pittsburgh, was a likely appointee for a diplomatic post. Representative A. Mitchell Palmer has been urging Mr. Guthrie's appointment as Ambassador to Italy, but It Is not known yet Just what post he may get.

The President today received a formal cablegram from the Mayor of Carlisle, England, expressing in behalf of the Town Council hearty congratulations on his assumption of the Presidency. It was in Carlisle that President Wilson's grandfather was born. The President sent a cablegram of appreciation. President Oot For Walk. The President saw a number of visitors in the East Room, among them Solicitor-General Bullitt and Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the Money Trust Investigating Committee, but the visits were social in character.

For a short time during the afternoon the President worked on his correspondence, but he soon was outdoors enjoying the spring weather. The President splev come magnolias in blossom, observed the growing verdure of the White House grounds and swung into a brisk walk along Potomac drive. Only a Secret Service man accompanied him and he attracted practically no attention as he strolled through the parkways. The President returned to the White House at 5 o'clock, where, with Mrs. Wilson and their daughters, he me the diplomatic corps and their wives at tea.

NO CABINET MEETING FOR FUN Government Heads To Assemble Only When There Is Business. Washington, March 12. Washington continues to be shocked by the innovations of the new Administration. They may not seem to be very revolutionary to the eyes of the country at large, but here In Washington they seem to topple the foun datlons of the world. The latest thing the President has done -was to Inform the Cabinet that he sees no reason for their meeting unless they bave something to talk about.

Hence, the regular Tuesday and Friday Cabinet meetings are abandoned, except when somebody has something to say. The memory of the oldest Inhabitant runneth not back to the time when the President did not solemnly enter the Cabinet room In the White nouse at 11 o'clock and take his place at the head of the long table, with the Secretary of State at his right and the Secretary of the Treasury at bis left and all the rest streaming down the table. It made not a particle of difference whether there was anything to discuss or not. The Cabinet meeting 6lmply had to be held. When there was nothing to talk about the President, If he were Lincoln, told funny 6torles, and if he were McKin-ley he listened to John Hay telling funny stories.

After the proper length of time bad been reached the Cabinet arose and put on its silk hat and went out, telling the waiting newspaper correspondents that its Hps were sealed. This solemn farce has been going on so long that It seems to Washington like the first amendment to the Constitution in point of venerablllty. The fact that President Wilson has relegated the Cabinet meeting to the background, except, of course, when there Is real occasion to meet, has Jarred the town extremely. NO APPLICANTS AFTER, 4.30 Attorney-General McReynolds Reserves Evenings For Work. Washington, March 12.

Teformed the State Senate's vice Investi gation commission' and the women, for whose moral downfall the commission Is trying to determine the causes differed today in the relation between low wages ana low morality.

Letters received by the commission from women of the. underworld mocked at the work which the legislators are doing. One of these; letters, signed R. reads To the Commission: Girls donM: go wrong because they are hungry, or because they need clothes. They go wrong because they are tempted by lies and overpowered by the evil in men.

They listen to the fair and pretty things that men tell them and they fall because they think they can trust themselves and trust the tempters. It is not the employer. I was a good girl and worked in a store. "Looked Upon As Prey." I didn't get much money, but that didn't matter. I lived on $8 a week and would be living like that now but I met men They seemed to consider me their prey and all the time it was fight, fight.

They wanted to be nice to me, they said, and to take me to the theatres and treat me fair and give me a chance to enjoy life. I didn't know men were bad all bad where a girl is concerned. I thought only women were bad. I thought all a girl had to do to remain good was to be truthful with herself. God pity women who think that and who keep their trust In men until it is too late Every day it was some one else always smiling at me always trying to give me a 'fair chance' to be happy.

In the street they followed me. These I could avoid but the 'friends' who hung around That is the big, big secret of the thing that makes a good girl bad. If they bad left me be if they had only left me be only let me live as I wanted to, I wouldn't have had to slink Into the room when your commission was trying to solve things and wouldn't have had to sit in a corner with my veil down, afraid to look a good woman In the face. Called Bunch Of Hypocrites. Another cry from the underworld echoed the words of this letter.

It was more bltte though and it read, in part: You're looking for the things that made such women as I. Low wages, dance halls, hunger, cold they all helped a bit, but they didn't turn the trick themselves. You're all a bunch of hypocrites, afraid to look the thing In the face and afraid to learn the truth. I don't know any girls who sold themselves for money to buy bread or clothes. But I do know lots of us who hit the road for because a lot of blackguards kept hounding them with their rotten "attentions." God help the men and and not us.

We're all right when we start. All we need Is to be left alone. There are hundreds aud hundreds of kids and sports who hang around State street and wait like wolves for the tired girls to leave the store. Says Make Men Good. Why don't you make the men be good? All the wages in the world won't help us.

Make the men good and the girls will be good. Now they haven't got a chance and they never will have as long as the law smiles at one and spits at another. This letter was signed with the Initials While these comments on the situation continued to pour in, the civic consciousness awakened by the commission bestirred Itself in the launching of committees and private Investigating forces. In some stores numbers of girls approached their employers to demand larger salaries. All were assured that they would be taken care of as soon as something defi nite has been agreed upon.

Several resigna tions were tendered by girl employes as a result of parental advice. A massmeeting for the discussion of "a living wage and Saturday half holiday" was scheduled by the Juvenile Protective Association, the Consumers' League and the Women's Trade Union League for next Friday night. Merchants Consider Wnare Question. A careful study of the probable effects of establishing among themselves a minimum wage scale for women Is being made by the i big retail merchants of this city, it was learned, as an outcome of the session of the vice commission. The commission suggested $2 a day as the proper minimum, but thus far the merchants believe that $8 a week is the most practicable wage for beginners.

There are two knotty problems engaging their attention the extent to which a higher minimum would be reflected in compensating the more skilled workers, and how many women and girls would be forced out of employment if a minimum wage created a standard under which It would be cheaper to hire men or boys. Governors' Conference On lee. A conference of Governors and others In terested in the suppression of vice and the amelioration of the condition of the working girls promised to be one of the early results of the investigation started by the White Slave Committee of the Senate. In conference with Lieutenant-Governor O'Hara this afternoon Governor Dunne suggested that such a conference would be desirable. Lieutenant-Governor O'Hara was favorable to the suggestion and will get into immediate communication with the Governors of Michigan, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky.

Wisconsin and Indiana, sug gesting a general conference to be held in Springfield at an early date. For Uniform Wane Law. The principal object of the proposed con ference is to formulate uniform laws on the employment of girls and a minimum wage scale for women. It is believed that oue State can accomplish little acting independently, but by a combination of adjoin ing States great good may result. Lieutenant-Governor Hara said he al ready bad letters from the Governors of a number of these States Indorsing the investigation that is being made by the Illinois Senate committee and offering to co-operate in any manner possible.

In several of these States the Legisla tures are now in session. It Is hoped that action can be got under way in time to secure some legislation the present year. California Starts Inquiry.

The bill would require all persons or corporations employing five or more females to report to the State Inspector of Workshops and Factories, giving detailed information as to wage of women, hours of employment, etc. The data thus secured Is to be turned over to the State Industrial commission, which it la proposed shall be created.

"A man fell into our ranks out of the crowd Just behind me," she said.

"I do not know what happened to him It wnn all a nightmare." A dozen Washington business men win were organized Into committee of public order for the Inaugural period mid who In automobiles endeavored to nld the police in subduing the disorder during the xuffruge parade testified. They declared thnt th police had done all that wns humanly pos slble to handle the crowd, but thnt the gathering was too large to be controlled. Police Captain Defend, Force. Capt. Henry Schneider, who wns in charge of the police detail at the point on Pennsylvania avenue where the crowd was densest and where the cavalry was finally called on for aid, defended his men.

He declared that he and his officers worked faithfully In their efforts to clear the street. "Had you any reason to think," ask-vi Senator Jones, "that Major Sylventer anyone else at hendquarters would overlook any neglect of duty In connection with this parade, or that they wanted the parade Interfered with?" "No," answered the Captain emphatically. He declared thnt Major Sylvester had been emphatic and explicit in his Instructions to bis subordinates and that while the men of the department looked upon tlirt parade in "light manner" they had been admonished to work faithfully. lie declared they did so.

NOTED NEGRESS DEAD Harriet Tubman Davis, Born A Slave In Maryland, Later Guest Of Emerson. New York, March 12. Harriet Tubman Davis, an ex-slave, known as "The Moses of Her People," and regarded as one of the most remarkable members of her race, died Monday night at the Harriet Tubman Home for Indigent Aged Negroes, at Auburn, Y. As nearly as Bhe could tell, she was 88 years of age. For the past year she haJ been in feeble health, and bad been confined to her room.

Recently she contracted pneumonia, which caused her death. Harriet Tubman Davis, or Harriet Tubman, as she was better known, was known and held in high esteem by Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Lloyd Garrison, Phillips Brooks and John Brown. Of pure Ashantee blood, she was born a plantation in Dorchester county, Maryland. At the early age of 13 her instinctive antagonism against her master caused her to protest at the brutality of overseer. The overseer knocked her down.

Perhaps it was this injury that gave her the wonderful cunning, rising at times the cleverest strategy. She fell ill, and while confined to her cabin became very religious, developing an almost fanatic faith that carried her through dangers. She finally ran away and went North. It wasn't long before throughout the plantations of Maryland and Virginia were spread rewards for a negro woman who was luring the slaves away from their masters. The price for the capture, dead or alive, of Harriet Tubman rose to over $40,000, but she was never taken.

She made over 19 trips into the very heart of the country where the head money wa offered. She continued this work until the beginning of the Civil War. She went into it heart and soul. Whenever she could get to a meeting she went and Inspired others with her great faith. It was while on her way to attend a meeting in Boston at the invitation of Gerrit Smith that she fought the greatest single battle of her career.

Once In Troy, N. she led a mob in the rescue from officers of a fugitive slave. By her enormous physical strength she broke through the police line and seized the prisoner under the armpits and began to drag him down the street. The crowd massed around her and dragged her and the slave to the river, where the fugitive was thrown into a boat which pulled out. She started a fugitive slave settlement at Cape May, N.

in 1852. This place was successfully managed by her with the aid of Thomas Garrett, the Quaker abolitionist, of Wilmington, Del. She personally escorted 300 negroes to freedom in parties' of one to nine. The Fugitive Slave law enforcement made her work more difficult each year. Driven from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, she came to New York.

The Dred Scott decision in 1837 forced her to establish her last station on the underground in Canada. Willam H. Seward, later Lincoln's Secretary of State, was one of Harriet's best supporters. When, in 1863, it was decided to use negro troops, Harriet pleaded to be appointed an army nurse.

Within a few weeks the Philadelphia Vice Commission will be prepared to place its complete re port in the hands of Mayor Blankenburg. It. has finished Its investigations, discussed the recommendations to be made and Is having these put into writing.

The findings of the commission are briefly these There are fewer unfortunate women in a thousand of population in Philadelphia than are found in Chicago, New York or other large cities. All policies of segregation are condemned. since the commission does not consider segregation practicable until it keeps peo-pie out of a district as well as in. There Is inadequate police supervision of dance halls, certain saloons, amusement parks and picture shows. There should be police women appointed, with all the authority given to policemen to watch these places.

The owner of every house not used as a residence proper should be forced to affix a brass pufte bearing his name to the door. If the report Is as outspoken as many of the members of the commission desire It to be one of its most sensational features will be a searching arraignment of a respectable element of the community which the commission's investigators have found prof iting largely and secretly by the existence of vice and breeding a new and appalling phase of the social evil as a menace to numberless children. "We got some awful things on the trust companies," said a member of the com mission. One resort was found paying exorbitant rent for a house owned by one of the best known charitable organizations.

SECRETARY OF THE JURY REFORM BILL PASSED New Jersey Assembly Acts Favorably Upon Wilson's Measure. Trenton, N. March 12 When hope had about been abandoned for the passage of any Jury reform legislation advocated by President Wilson, at this session, the Assembly, late todur adopted the Zlsgen bill, with an amendment, offered by Mr. Martin, of Hudson, providing a referendum.

This weakens the measure by striking out its mandatory features and does not meet entirely the party pledge. As the bill now stands, two commissioners will be named for each county by the Governor and they, instead of the sheriff, will draw grand and petit Juries. The act will not apply, however, in the county unless it is adopted upon a vote equal to 30 per cent, of that cast at the preceding general election. It is still doubtful if the Senate will act favorably on the bill. Senator Davis, of Salem county, the majority leader, ad mits that there is little likelihood of get ting enough votes.

The measure was passed in the lower House with Republican belp, Minority Leader Richards, of Atlan tic, declaring that his colleagues would give the Democrats the rope with which to hang themselves. He reiterated the declaration of Speaker Taylor, of Monmouth, that the bill Is a snare and delusion and characterized It as "punk" and hippodrome legislation. Earlier in the day it seemed certain that no progress would be made and Gover nor Fielder was thoroughly angry wltn Mr. Martin for his alleged dilatory tactics. Neither the Governor nor Assemblyman Zlsgen favored the Martin amendment, but tbe latter accepted it as the best he could get.

What action Governor Fielder will take, should the measure get to him for executive action, is unknown. REAR-ADMIRAL EATON BURIED No Honors For Man Whose Death Is Being: Investigated. Boston, March 12. With striking absence of naval honors, the body of Rear-Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton, U. S.

N. (retired), whose sudden death in his Norwell home early last Saturday morning is being investigated, was brought to Boston today and then taken to Lowell for burial. The widow and Miss Dorothy Ainsworth, her daughter by her first marriage, were the only mourners. Newspaper reporters and hack drivers were the pallbearers. Not even a flag was shown.

Meanwhile the civil authorities have been busy investigating the Admiral's sudden death and are now awaiting the report from the chemists. State policemen who were questioned about the probability of an arrest in the case declined to utter a word. An attempt is being made to Identify the person from whom a hint came that poison was to be suspected. The widow and her mother, Mrs. George Harrison, both expressed the opinion that the Admiral had died a natural death.

The widow was the Admiral's second wife and was formerly the wife of D. H. Ainsworth, once a clerk in the United States Senate. Her father was George Harrison and the family home was at Alexandria, Va. Mrs.

Eaton is about 40. She said today "For two years I have been afraid that if anything happened to Joe they would blame me for it and now they probably will." Dr. Frame said: "The whole story will come out in time, it is rather peculiar to me that the neighbors near the Eaton home, who undoubtedly know, or have heard things, didn't let this come out before. "I did not sign the death certificate giving the cause of death. That was up to the medical examiner.

It is his case. I saw the Admiral last Friday. I know a lot about the case, but I'm only going to say what I can testify to if I have to. I wouldn't say he was a man in feeble health." SOMERSET BULL MOOSE MEET Will Put Foil County Tielcet In Field This Fall. Cri8fleld, March 12.

OFFTCESEEKERS MUST WAIT Governor Dunne Delays Appointments Until Senators Are Elected.

Springfield, 111., March 12. Governor Dunne announced this afternoon that he would not make State appointments until after the Legislature has settled the United States Senatorial situation. The Governor's decision, It is generally conceded, will have a marked effect upon the Senatorships. Before making the announcement relative to his patronage plans the Governor ventured the prediction that the double deadlock would soon be. broken.

prominently Is this Issue being orougnt forward that it is contended that President Wilson is being put in the position of recognizing either the "machine" or "anti-machine" factions in Virginia if he selects either of the aspirants. The "anti-machine" forces led the Wilson progressive fight in Virginia. The "machine" forces fought the New Jersey Governor until the hour when it became a foregone conclusion that he would be nominated at Baltimore. All these things, including Dr. Page's sVmpathetic affilation with the "organization" and Colonel Willard's consistent "anti-machine" and independent record in Virginia politics, are being aired.

President And Dr. Page Friendly. The personal relations between the President and Dr. Page are said to be very friendly. Both are cultured literary men and are naturally drawn to each other.

Two years ago, when President Wilson electrified the nation by his magnificent campaign for Governor of New Jersey, he was entertained at a dinner given in his honor in Washington by Dr. Page. Friends at that dinner urged the New Jerseyman to get in the Presidential contest. His name had been discussed from one end of the nation to the other for White House honors, but he had made no announcement of any kind regarding It. Jones Not Hostile To Page.

Congressman Jones, one of the "original" Wilson men in Virginia and long recognized for his antagonism to the organization, is placed In a more embarrassing position than any other Virginia leader. He is an Intimate personal friend of Dj. Page, but Is urging the selection of Colonel Willard, because the Colonel and himself have always stood for the same things politically In Virginia Colonel Willard was his ardent supporter in the Senatorial fight, of which "machine" and "anti-ma-chine" was the paramount issue, and because he regards Colonel Willard as a genuine progressive Democrat who would be a credit to the State. Mr. Jones is not fighting Dr.

Page and has taken no part In the discussion relating to Dr. Page's past political afliliations In the State. He also has had nothing to do with the filing with the State Department of documents bearing upon Dr. Page's political attitude and affiliations In his home State. Norfolk: Negro Sentenced To Death.

At Edenbrldge the wall behind the platform was bespattered by a fusillade of eggs. The platform was stormed and tbo police were called out to restore order. At Radlett the din of the shouting, sing ing and ringing of bells was maintained for nearly an hour and hardly a word of the speeches could be heard.

The suffragettes oeneve me uovernmfnt has taken this action now in view of slra-tinr orders to pay the costs of prosecu tion being made against other suffragette offenders. A large number or trading nrms in tne west end of London are bringing joint actions In tbe civil courts to test the lia bility of Mrs. I'ankhurst and her daughters and Mr. and Mrs.

Pethick Lawrence for militancy. The charges In the actions are conspiracy to Induce window-breaking and heavy damages arc claimed.
