MORE than two million women, repre-
senting the leading women's organiza-
tons of the United States, ii is said,
have adopted memorial calling for the
unseatng OF United States Senator Reed
SmoOt. This was announced yesterday
by the executive committee of the Ma
tional Congress of Mothers, which met
in Philadelphia. This memorial will be
presented when Congress cOnvenes.
Smoot, the women declare, controls the
vote Of eight other Senators, and fearing
that his power will increase, they ask
that action be taken at the converting OF
Congress The reason The women give
for ousting the Mormon Senator is the
very one which will secure the retention
OF his seat. The republicans want these
votes and will not lose them if they can
help it. 1t is well, however, for Mr..
Smoot tha. he is not a democrat, or he
would surely be treated as was Con-
gresham Roberts.

John Fiudlay Wallace, whose resigna-

died Wednesday night at the home of his
grandfather, Samuel Rhodes, at Middle

cigarette smoking was the primary cause
of his death. Two weeks ago he at

several companions that he would be

was the cause of the sensational rise in

A CORPS OF expert bank examiners is
now at work trying to get at the bottom
of the facts in the failure of the looted
Enterprise National Bank, Of Allegheny,
Pa. While all eyes have been turned
toward the dead cashier and the State
treasury deposit, the judicial department
of the United States has set to work to
learn wherein the national banking de-
partment has been remiss. 1t has been
made clear by all the authorities con-
necled with the bank that Cashier Clark
had been carrying on his populations
for the past two years, at least. How
did he do it without the bank examiner
making the discovery? That is the
question the Department of Justice of
the United States will ascertain for the
Comptroller of the Currency. Do even
national bank examiners examine? That
is the pertinent and timely question
Comptroller Ridgely is facing.

Mr.. Germans Speech.

In the courthouse at ElIicott City,
Nd, and in the presence of crowd Of
Howard county democrats, among whom
were scores of his old-time friends and
many ladies, Senator German made yes
terday afternoon his first speech in this
campaign.
As the recognized leader of the demo-
cratic party in Maryland and the fore
most advocate of the suffrage amendment,
as well as a main target for the attacks
of the opposition, his first public utter
ance since the passage Of the measure by
the legislature was looked forward TO
with even more than the usual interest
that attaches to him.
Straight from the shoulder was his de-
tense of the principle of negro disfran-
chisement and the measure which the
party has proposed for its accomplish
ment in Maryland.
He arraigned the republican party, its
leaders and its policy toward the negro
as a voter from the adoption of the Fiji
teenth amendment by one vote in re-
publican caucus TO the present time.
Graphically and with fire he described
the steps taken in forcing negro suffrage
upon the southern States, and in ieceD.
years the steps taken by first one and
then another of these States to I'D them
selves of the negro as political factor,
until Maryland is the only one below the
Mason and Dixon liue which has not
done so.
While he dealt strongly with the men
who are fighting the amendment, no.
where in his speech did he mention the
name Of Senator Rayner, nor did he d.
rectly refer to him in any way. The de-
liberate ignoring of the junior Senator,
his attitude toward the amendment, his
attack upon the organization and bis
personal challenge to Mr.. German is in
line, it is said, with the policy of the
senior Senator not to notice anything
Mr. Rayner may have to say.
1t was to Mr.. BJnaparte, as the new
republican leader, however, that Senator
German paid more attention, and charac-
terization NJ him as a common scOld"
brought forth ashout. He declared that
practically all Of the prominence Mr.
Bonaparte had acquired had been gained
through his advocacy of civil service re-
form. Mr.. BOnaparte had pursued it,
he said, to such a point that no me-
chanc may now get place in the
government service unless he passes
a civil service examination, and scrub
woman may not find employment at the
navy yard without a similar exami-
nation. Now, mark the contrast" said Mr..
GO,man. This leader. who would compel
scrubwowan, no matter how badly she need
ed the place, to pass a civilservice examina-
ton, yet stands before the people of Mary land
and tells Us that he is in favor of permitting
the most Ignorant negro from South Carolina
10 become voter and a peer of yours and
mine st the polls without an examination by
our people Shame, shame on such American
ism Shame upon the man who ISLANDERS his fell
low-citizens as he has :" The Senator expressed
his complete regret" that Governor War
field is against the amendment. and said: Il
think he mas been misled by bad advice"

The President

At the end of nine hours of varied en-
tertainment in New Orleans, closing a
pleasant trip through the South, Presi-
dent Roosevelt at $50 O'Clock last night
boarded the lighthouse tender Magnolia
and began his return journey to Wash
ington.
No newspaper representative accom-
panied the President on the boat and he
was out of touch with the world through
out the night. He was transferred at an
early hour this morning to The armored
cruiser West Virginia, which was at am
Choir off the mouth of the Mississippi
river aud which will carry him on to-
ward capital.
The President was compelled to sban-
don one public address before he had
got well started on it. 1t was con-
templated that the military and civic
parade in New Orleans should pass in
review before the President at the
City Hall, but the crowd which gath
cred at this point was so tremendous
mat neitner the pOllce nor the troops
were able to move it, and the President,
foreseeing possible panic, finally gave
up the attempt to speak and left the
platform. The crowd jammed st.
Charles street all the way from Poydrss
street to Ninth street, aud it spread over
Lafayette square almost from St.
Charles street to Camp street. Probably
so, 900 persons were gathered in and
around the stand from which the Presi-
dent was to have delivered the address.
When the President decided to abaD-
don his effort he shouted to the throDg
to go home and be good citizens aud
then disappeared into the mayors par
lors, well nigh exhausted. He said that
the reception was the greatest that he
had had since he started on his trip
The President spoke on local subjects
at banquet at night and later left on
lighthouse tender for the battleship West
Virginia.

New York Politics.

New York, Oct. 27.-The features of
the political situation in this city today
and one that is being discussed generally
is the letter of former President Grover
Cleveland. to Mayor Mcclellan, in which
he warned against the crank hysteria''
manifested in some quarters. He also
spoke OF the advantage which was being
taken of the usually aroused prejudices
for demsgogic manipulation to mislead
the public and pointed dangers which
Mayor Nc Clellan's course was calculated
to avert.
An important step was taken by the
republican executive committee today.
They issued call for the convention to
meet 10 Murray Hill Lyceum tonight
and nominate Mr. Jerome for District
Attorney in place of Judge Charles A.
Flammer, the republican nominee,
who withdrew from the ticket on We'd
nesdsy. This action will be taken in
apparent defiance of the election law,
which state that vacancies on the ticket
must be filled not later than October 20.
All the candidates for Mayor, also
Mr.. Jerome, made number of addresses
last night. Mayor Mcclellan spoke on
the east side of this city, and then made
dash through Brooklyn. Mr. Hearst
was also in Brooklyn, where he made
four speeches. Mr.. Wins, after adj
dressing large gathering on the east
side, crossed the bridge and spoke four
times in Kings county. Mr.. Jerome
made only one address and that was in
the Bohemian National Hall, in east 7Srd

the world to the fact that the men who
managed and controlled the "Big Three"
life insurance companies-New York,

and other fub-dubberies by using the
moneys collected by false preteuces from
millions of Americans, from the labor

was over a year ago. ] was all alone in
making these accusations. was all
alone when "the world" howled for my
scalp for doing this monumental wrong
TO these mOnumentally good men. As
the wind is tempered to the shorn lamb,

howl. The other day on the witness
stand in the investigation by the New
York legislative committee the grafters
OF the New York, Mutual and Equitable
under oath confessed to acts so much
lower, 50 much meaner than any | had
accused them Of, that the world is now
bowling my praises as a conservative.
One of those who confessed was Vice
President GraDniss, of the Mutual.

sisted by the Pennsylvania Railroad authori-
ties are investigating the alleged poisoning
of well dressed young man, supposed to be
James Snedaker, who was found unconscious
last night on a railroad train, which arrived
at Broad street station about midnight. The
