BERLIN, June 3.-The international
Woinans Suffrage Conference, called by
the International Womans Suffrage Cons
niittee, with headquarters in the United
States, met here to-day TOR the purpose
OF organizing an international league for
the promotion of woma,'s suffrage.
Susan b. Anthony presided.
The platform Of the league declares
that men and women were born equal
and free and independent members Of
society, and that the natural relationship
OF the sexes Is ono Of reciprocity and
common effort. Self determination in the
house and State Is tho inalienable right
Of every normal adult person, hence wo-,
man as class and as an Individual does
not owe obedience to the State or to
he, husband. Every government taxing
women without permitting suffrage ex-
ercises tyranny irreconcilable with JUS
ticc. Suffrage is the only means for as
sorting the personal rights which the
American Declaration Of Independence
recognized as inviolable. and all modern
constitutions accept the same position.
CONSTITUTIONAL States must therefore
grant suffrage irrespective of SEX

TRAVIS NOW The
GOLF CHAMPION
American Defeats Blackwell, Of
Great Britain, by Four Up
and Three to Play.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON. June 3.-The American golf
champion, Walter j. Travis. won the title
Of amateur champion OF Great Britain on
tho links at Sandwich to-day, where he
defeated z. q. Blackwell, representa-
tive Of the Royal and Ancient Club, by
four up and three to play.
The sky was overcast, with occasional
flurries Of rain and stiff raw wind
from the northeast which, however, a p
peared to have little effect on Travis 5
driving, while his approach work and
putting maintained the wonderful accur-
sacy which characterized ah!s game
throughout the tournament.
The gallery numbered about five hun
adred. Although their sympathies We're
almost unanimous with Blackwell, they
could not refrain from applause at
yl'ravis's brilliant game. and the Ameri-
car's superiority over the Scotchman was
admitted, coupled with expressions OF re-
greet that one Of the older and more rep
resentative native golfers was not pltted
against the visitor in the final
About score Of Americans followed
the game, including the competitors in
the earlier stages of the Championship.
The only breach of the highest sports
uapship occurred during the afternoon.
when few spectators applauded Travis
failure in putting at the third hole. This
offense was instantly Missed BY the ma
iority Of those present. AS a general
thing the Arssrlcans brilliant game elicit
ed bursts Of applause at almost every
hole.
The large Scotch contingent WAS the
most ready to concede Travis's superiorl-
ty, even before the afternoon round was
started.
Travis must defend tho championship
on this side next year, The Prestwick,
Ayrshire. green has been selected for the
contest.
