BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 22.-There was
a sensation at the suffrage meeting in
Lorin last night, and as a result several of
the local suffrage workers have expressed
themselves as being very much in ulted.
1t seems that the Rev. E. Lyman Hood,
who, by the way, is opposed to woman
suffrage, had permitted several of the
leaders of the cause in Berkeley, among
whom are Mrs. George w. Haight, Mrs.
Einor Carlisle the Rev. ]. d. Foster and
Attorney George w. Haight, to open a
meeting at the conclusion of the Wednes-
day evening prayer service of the church.
1t was nearly 8 clock before the prayer
meeting was over and the suffragists had
commenced their speeches. Because of
the late hour a number OF the congrega-
ton got up and left. Mrs. Haight was the
first suffrage speaker. She was followed
by her husband, who was to have been
succeeded by the Rev. ]. d. Foster. the
Haight took is seat, which was at about
9:20, the Rev. Mr.. Hood, pastor of the
church. arose, without giving the Rev. Mr.
Foster chance 10 address the meeting,
and announced that the services would
clos with prayer.
His abrupt manner in drawing the meet
ing to close is considered as an insult by
some OF the suItTaglSLS, VINO gave Veub TO
tn ir feelings to-day.
Thev say that the action of the pastor
was fragrant breach of the most common
courtesy, and that they will not forget the
treatment received at his hands for some
time to come.
