ADMINISTRATION SAID TO FAVOR SUFFRAGE PLANK BREWERY AND WHISKY INTER ESTS WORK AGAINST IT. COMMITTEE VIEW UNCERTAIN Fro a Oorrenpondent ST. LOUIS. June It the wishes of the administration are carried out by the resolutions committee In its meeting today, a woman suffrage plank will be Inserted In the Democratic platform. This plank will go the IlepuHlcan plank on sirTiage one better and will put the 1 temocratic party on record as favoring the general principle 'of woman suffrage without reference to the means by which suffrage would be obtained.

A person who has seen the tentative platform plan kg brought from Washington by President Wilson's personal rep resentative, Vwtr.n U. Baker, secretary of war, Is authority, for the statement that the tentative platform contains such, a plank. Whether th committee finally will decide on this plank depends largely on the makeup of the resolutions ommlt tee. Liquor Interests Busy. It Is pointed out that the brewery and interests, having foreseen a vigorous attempt to put "a definite suffrage plank In the platform, have been quietly at work seeing' to It that individual members of the committee are opposed to suffrage.

It Is definitely known that the members of the resolutions committee stives of theve but whether this type is In the can not yet be determined. The decision of the force in control to present a suffrage plank follows the recent conversion of many of the Demo cratlc leaders to suffrage. Among these hv been Itanlela, secretary of the navy Newton I), linker, secretary of twr, and a number of other Democrats loth In ofSdal and private life. President Wilson, it is said also has changed his mind on the subject completely and Is now out mid out suffrajre man. st the same time being careful not to embarrass his party by his personal views on the sub ject.

Differs From Chicago Plank. If the plank goes through as suggested. It will be re garded as a victory for the National Woman Suffrage Association, as this body has been the one which has been advocating a general Indorsement of the suffrage movement bv the Democratic convention. The Congressional" I Tnlon has been lcmaridlnd that the Democrats 'pledge themselves to pass a federal amendment riibrntttlnfr the suffrage question to the legislatures of the several states. The plank proposed by the union" Is bit different from the one asked from I 1 1 i 1 in it dues not specifically name the Susan H.

Anthony amendment. Should the suffrage plank by; the national association be adopted, however. s'Tio. if not a great deal of the credit for this suffrage victory, must go to the Con trressional Union, since It has been ap parent that the demands of this body have nan mucn wrigrir. wim notn conventions )re Kilned much advertising for the suf frage cnws.e and have served to bring be fori both th great political parties the importance or the s'irrrnge question.

A number of men and several boys listened to the address with considerable interest. Miss Hill, who spoke from an automo bile, was ocrnmpankd by Mis Kleanor Parker, president of the local Congressional Union. "The Congressional Union is fighting for the passage of the Susan D. Anthony amendment to the United States Constitution at this session of, the congress. and we right with the power of the bal lot nehind te," aiiss Hill naid.

"It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will recognize the power behind the woman's party or not. If they do realize it, we wll not be put to the great expense of a campaign this fall, and the politicians will save themselves much annoyance. State's Influential Position.

Mr. Hughes today reconsidered his decision of yesterday, not to meet suffrage leaders before making his speech at the notification ceremo.des and indicated his willingness to meet representatives of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage.

He will see them within a day or two. It was announced today. The organization, it has been stated, is anxious to learn what Mr. Hughes's attitude Is toward the granting of suffrage to women by the federal government, which the Congressional Union advocates. Mr.

Colby and Theodore D. Robinson called on Mr. Hughes during the noon hour and had a long conference with him. They declined to discuss the report that they were making efforts to bring Roosevelt and Hughes together. They had pledged their support to Mr.

Hughes, they srtld. and Mr. Colby announced that he Intended to do all he could to enlist the support of the Pi ogress! ves. CHIEF PERROTT'S AUTO INJURES THREE Continued from Page One. Is MEN machine arrived.

Donahue met and the police started gathering evidence. Insists Davis la Violator, One of the policemen talked to Davis, He endeavored to make Davis see that he (Davis) must have been violating the speed laws, but Davis Insisted that the Perrott machine was the one which' was speeding. 1 "Well. I'll have to take you down on a radio speeding charge," the policeman told Da vis. He remarked mat he apparently was at the mercy of the police.

Those from the attracted by the accident, appeared to take a humorous view of the policemen's activity in investigating the speeding feature of the case. They remarked openly mat was nothing new for autos to speed at that place. The police, since Perrott has leen chief, have dene little toward enforcing the speed laws, and It is only after an accident ocurs that they seem to take any interest In the law. Attempted to Turn Out. Davis asserted that he was not speeding.

He said he was driving west in Thirty eighth street and that when hen saw tho Perrott machine coming from the north in Washington boulevard." he attempted to turn his machine south In Washington boulevard to give the Perrott machine room to pass. pointed out that the tracks showed the Perrott machine had not swerved a foot and that his machine was nearly at the southwest corner when It was struck. "If the other machine had not been speeding. Davis said, "they would have been able to stop or to avoid hitting me altogether." The police were unable to see lavis's argument, however, and they arrested hint. The three men who were In his car were taken to their homes in city ambulances.

Hinton. following the accident, said that It appeared to him that the Perrott machine was speeding. He satd that he and the other men had hired Davis to drive them. No explanation of how a police chauffeur, paid by the happened to be drivinir the Perrott automobile has been forthcoming, and there will be none. It is beltoved.

It ts nothing new, however, to. find mn paid by the taxpayers to do police duty acting. as chauffeurs In an unofficial capacity. This was done all through the Donahue campaign for sheriff, police machines were used to further the campaign of lonahne, the Perrott candidate. Donahue and Perrott long have heen close personal friends, which probably explains IHmahue's presence beside the police chauffeur.

Recall Similiar Accident. The variance in the testimony of witnesses in the Davia machine and those In the Perrott machine recalls another accident recently In which the police were concerned. It occured In Thirtieth street, near Ruckle, and a police automobile was in collision with another. The police, following the accident, arrested the chauffeur, as they did today, and charged him with violating the motor speed law. He was discharged when he had a hearing In city court, the evidence showing that he was not speeding.

John Morgan, the police chauffeur, who was driving Ferrott'a private although on duty, has been" a member of the police department for several vears. Mrs. Moran. one of the women In the Perrott car. is the wife of Joseph Moran, now secretary to the chief of police.

Mo ran was appointed to the force when Sam Perrott took over control and was asj iv'ned to the detective department, where be acted as clerk. When Donahue resigned from the department to make the race for sheriff, Moran was assigned to the ecretarj ship. Itonahue ranked as a lieutenant, which gave turn higher pay U.sn other secretaries.

That, part of the franchise quoted re lated to paving between tracks when ever the city orders the permanent Improvement of a street. The letter stated that the contractor will be required to complete work on Fairfield avenue by November 1, and the suggestion was made gently that it would be agreeable to the city If the street car corhnany would begin to pave between its tracks as soon as possible.
