Prominent Washington Women Demand

Prominent Washington Women Demand
That breckenridge he Investigated.
WASHINGTON, April 16.--Hardly had the
verdict i'm the Pollard Breckenridge case
been rendered when a meeting of promi-
nent Washington women was called to
take action regarding the case of Colonel
Breckenridge Reprcseutives of several
female organizations met at Willard's
hotel, and after au interesting conference
adopted resolutions calling upon congress
TO consider the qualifications of Repre-
sentative Breckenridge for membership in
ihat body.
The resolutions adopted declare tina
1--WE do not believe masculinity to be a
license for uncleanuess, " and demand
chastity for chastity, under one rule of
right, bearing as rigidly in its application
upon one sex as the other" The resolu-
tions have been sent TO the house commit
tee on the judiciary for action. The women
ray that it is not right that Colonel Breck-
luridge should retain his seat in congress,
while Miss Pollard is ostracized, as she
undoubtedly will be, from society.
This meeting was the last of series
which prominent women of Washington
have been holding since Good Friday, and
which crystalized into the formation Of an
organization called the Woman's Protect
i've league. The object of the league will
be to combat the text uttered on the wit
ness stand by Colonel Breckenridge that
social sins injure man, but destroy a
women. The league will endeavor to Sc
cure equal rights for both sexes, and to
aid women who have been wronged. 1t is,
of course, an outgrowth of the Pollard
Breckenridge trial. The ladies have in
vited Judge Jere Wilson to become gem
eral counsel of the league, but the attor-
ney has not yet responded to the invita-
| tion.

vantage in the securities OF this monopoly and In
serving its interests we are securing own
private fortunes" There is not a single word
in this confession which the testimony taken
by Mr. Lodges committee does not fully author
lie.
And II wants to be understood that the fate
and character OF this whole bill have been deter
mined by the sugar schedule. The Wilson bill
left the House OF Representatives as a 80 per
cent tariff 1t was committed to the Democratic
members of the Senate Finance Committee and
they reduced the duties until they had got It
down to a 90 per cent tariff. In this form 1t was
reported to caucus of the Democratic men,
bers Of the Senate. And here is what Mr.. Cor
man said IN his speech Of May 23. as to the
bill In these early stages:
do not propose TO discuss the merits or de-
merits Of either the original Wilson bill or the
measure reported first by the Finance Committee.
1t Is sufficient say that there never has been a
moment when either could command a majority OF
the votes in this chamber.
That was the absolute truth. and why? Be
cause Mr.. German. Mr. Smith, Mr.. Mcpherson
and Mr.. Brice stood out for the protection OF
the Sugar Trust in order to pay their campaign
debts and because they and other Senators de-
string the protection also of iron. lead coal, lum-
ber cotton goods collars and cuffs and incident
ais various knew that II they could compel
concession to the Sugar Trust the rest Of their
demands would necessarily follow They knew
that the Free-Traders would never dare U pro-
tect the Sugar Trust and stop right there. That
would be too abject a humiliation. too distinct a
confession The grant to the Trust would neces-
sarily have 70 be concealed behind what should
appear to be a general demand for numerous
alterations in the bill. So they all stood out to-
gether. The Free-Traders We're determined to
pass a bill Of some kind. good or bad. They pro-
tested but protests would not pass the bill. 1t
was a simple question OF satisfying the sugar
Senators or of abandoning the idea Of any tariff
legislation whatever. for, Mr.. German said,
neither Of their distinctly free-trade bills could
command the votes Of their party. They gave
in. Of course. They surrendered TO the Trust,
and Mr.. Havemeyer and Mr.. Searles got the pro-
lection they demanded The rest of the changes
came as a matter of course. Mr. Smith handed
in his little atch Mr.. Brice his. Mr.. German his
Mr.. Faulkner his. and the Senators from here.
there and everywhere ali came up smiling with
theirs.
And just as II was true that no blu could pass
which did not take care OF the Sugar Trust. so IL
is now true that If the sugar schedule is at any
time beaten. whether in the Senate. in the House,
in the Conference Committee or at the final mo-
ment when the Conference Committees report is
presented TO the two houses. the bill will to
