Armed With Petitions, Siege of Senate Follows a Big Demonstration PLANS MADE FOR BANQUET Members of House and Senate and Many Suffragists Will Be Present By Associated Press Washington, D. July 31. "Votes for Women" were demanded by delegations of suffragists from every State in the Union who besieged the Senate chamber and bombarded the Senators with petitions bearing thousands of signatures urging consideration of a woman suffrage constitutional amendment. The siege of the Senate followed a demonstration in course of which hundreds of women paraded from Hyattsville, through the country roads and the city streets, down Pennsylvania avenue and through the Capitol grounds. Members of the Senate woman suffrage committee, which has already favorably reported the suffrage amendment, met the petition bearers and rode to the Capitol with them.

Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the legislative committee of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, officers of the association and the Senate committee headed the parade. At the Capitol it disbanded and a cloud of femininity fluttered into the Senate wing. The dignified hush of the imposing marble room just off the Senate chamber was shattered by the demands of women from various States, that their cards be taken to their Senators. The pages were busy for the better part of an hour, hurrying Senators from the chamber to meet their "constituents" armed with petitions. After the petitions had been presented the delegations flocked to the galleries, where seats had been reserved, and the woman suffrage supporters on the floor of the Senate took charge of the demonstration.

Senators Owen, Ashurst, Poindexter, Jones, Works, Lane, Smoot, Clapp, Thomas, Shafroth and Hollis made brief ad dresses endorsing the petitions. Senator Owen officially presented the petitions to the Senate. "The reasons for this request on the part of the women of the country," he said, "are overwhelming and unanswerable, and the time has come when they must be considered with dignity, with unbiased mind, free from prejudice or passion. In the Interest of the welfare of the human race. "I do not appeal to men from a party standpoint, or call their attention to the effect which may be expected to follow If either one of the great parties should go so far as to Insult the 3,000,000 women who now have the full suffrage In America by contemptuously denying a right so obviously just and so obviously necessary to the welfare, the progress and the happiness of the people of America, but I will remind you that a great party with high Ideals, casting over 4,000,000 votes, last year de clared for woman suffrage, and the question can no longer be ignored." To night the suffragists will continue their demonstration at a ban quet to be attended by members of the House and Senate.

TARIFF BILL EITHER FISH, HERRING IR FOWL, SAYS SENATOR Gronna Declares Measure Is Not Based on Free Trade or Protection 1 By Associated Press WasHgton, July 31. Characterizing the Democratic tariff bill as "neither fish, fowl nor herring," a measure not framed on scientific principles of either free trade or protection and declaring it will not benefit the consumer, because it will injure, if not destroy, the producer, Senator Gronna.

progressive Republican, of North Dakota, attacked the measure in the tariff discussion in the Senate to day. "The great Industry of agriculture." he said, "is again the subject of an unjust onslaught and discrimination. I call your attention to the fact that in my state alone, where in 1912 we raised more than 143.000,000 bushels of wheat, with short crops in foreign countries, under the provisions of this bill our farmers would lose in a single year more than $15,000,000. "If the removal of the tariff on farm products is going to give the consumer cheaper foods," Senator Gronna declared, "then the tariff on thosfr. products gives the producer a better market and the producer is benefited by it.

On the other hand, If, as hus been contended, the tariff on farm products is of no benefit to the producer of them, it can only be because the tariff does not Increase the price of those products, and If It does not increase the price then where is ther any excuse for stating that the removal of the tariff is going to benefit the consumer and give him Senator Thornton, Democrat, of Louisiana, who will vote against the tariff bill because of free sugar, delivered day an impassioned denunciation of his party's determination to put sugar on the free list in 1916. His was the first speech from within the Democratic party attacking the biil since it was reported to the Senate. "I owe to the people of my state a far higher measure of devotion than I owe to the Democratic party," he exclaimed. "Honor and duty alike demand that 1 vote against this bill while it embodies this provision." NO CALL FOR MORE MARGIN By Associated Press Washington, D. July 31.

Hetrick, 28 North Nineteenth street, standing at the corner of Nineteenth and Park streets yesterday afternoon glance(d up into the cloudless heavens and wondered if the intense heat of the afternoon mightn't be relieved by a shower, he heard a faint but unmistakable roll of thunder. "She's a good way off," commented Mr. Hetrick with some satisfaction, "but she's a comin'.

And a little rain will certainly help some." And just then Mr. Hetrick experienced several sensations; in fact he isn't, clear as to just what did happen but here they are as he recalls them: That the sky was cloudlessly blue Mr. Hetrick is certain; then he heard another roll of thunder; some blue sparks danced and snapped along the telephone wires over his head; he felt a sharp tingling sensation throughout his body, and then A Hat Misbehaves His straw hat which ordinarily fits snugly, gently raised Itself on the tips of his hair, slid halfway 'round his head, and then settled down again. it was all over Mr. Hetrick gingerly reached for his headgear and looked to see if he had only imagined that his hat had done a half turn 'round head, unaided by mere man's It hadn't.

The side bow of the hatband was at a point just over the rear collar button in Mr. Het rick's shirt. And when Mr. Hetrick took another look at the heavens he saw the skies were still as blue as ever, that way down near the horizon were some clouds but the storm was still some distance away. To day's weather was of the same quality as yesterday and the city continued to swelter under the blazing sun with little hope of relief in sight unless "local showers" should drop In to relieve things.

Still the weather man says It was seven degrees cooler than yesterday.
