FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Evening Session Proceedings at Balti-
more-Miss Anthony Indisposed.

The evening session of the thirty-eighth
annual convention of the Woman's Suffrage
Association. which began at Baltimore yes
terday. as reported In The Star, brought
forth disappointment In that the homo
rary president Miss Susan B. Anthony, who
was TO have presided was still too indispcs-

ton, Rev. Anna Howard Shaw. filed the
vacancy. Music was furnished by chorus
OF 200 voices.
Gov Warfeld OF Maryland delivered an
address OF welcome on behalf of the state
and, in the absence of Mayor Timanus on

half of the city was made by William f,

among other things:

social condition of the first importance. IL
is unfortunate that President Roosevelt has

cLEMENcY FOR MERIwErHER.
Secretary Bonaparte Recommends
Pardon of the Midshipman.

Secretary Bonaparte has recommended
to the President the pardon of Midship-
man Minor Meriwether, jr., convicted of
hazing and sentenced to dismissal from
the Naval Academy. The Secretary saws
there is room for reasonable doubt as to
whether the acts were committed with
criminal intent and adds that the accused
stood on his head and performed the
rabbit dance" and various other nom
sensical acts in the presence of the same
midshipman whom he is accused of haz-
ing.
THE acts of hazing proven against the
accused says the Secretary, ARE not
only, as the court says, mild in FORM but
rather good-natured 'horsepIay' than any
deliberate attempt to usurp authority
over mfdshipmen of the fourth class or
to Cypress or humiliate them, and since
the court has found, with the approval of
the superintendent of the academy that
the accused is seeking to comply with
the admonition given him by the previous
court-martial, the department feels that
the ends of justice will be more nearly
attained by the exercise of executive
clemency in this case than by the execu-
ton of the sentence of dismissal"
recommendation for clemency was
appended by the court to its sentence of
dismissal.

Mr.. Patterson's Admission.

Mr.. Patterson's Admission.
Mr.. Patterson manifested some excitement
in manner and his face was much flushed,
but his words We're deliberate. ut seems,
he said, that ample preparation has been
made to overwhelm me by reason of the
stand l have taken. l will not gainsay
the record; it is not impossible that without
due reflection | did vote for the binding
resolution. If So the vote was cast with
out due reflection. That circumstance can
not, however, prevent a change of course

Whether inconsistency may be shown, /

cheerfully the censure or misunderstanding

ators to observe their oaths of office"
Replying, Mr.. Bailey said that Mr.. Pat
terson did himself an injustice by init
mating that there had been q conspiracy
for the purpose of accomplishing his dis
comfiture. He then explained that for the
past three days he had been constantly en-
gagged at the bedside of a sick son. and
had not been In communication with Mr.
Culberson. He attributed the fact that
Mr.. Culberson was equipped with a copy
of the cacus proceedings to his colleagues

emergency.
For the rest he said he was willing to
accept Mr.. Patterson's explanation, for he
believed that senator to be an honest man.
although an emotional one. and one who
being in error, persists in it.
Mr. Patterson responded by saying that
he did not care so much for the position
In which he was placed for the fact that
he feared that the issue would be clouded
by this incident. That, he said, mortified
him.
Mr. Bailey then suggested to Mr.. Potter
son that there was but one proper recourse
left to him, and that was to change parties
and to this suggestion Mr.. Patterson replied
that neither the sneers nor the innuendoes
of Mr.. Bailey would cause him to swerve
from his intention of following his convic-
lions rather than the behests of a party
He had. he said, wanted only to impress
upon the country the size of the danger that
turks in caucus dictation, and he added that
if he had succeeded in accomplishing that
result he would feel satisfied. He had no
regret for what he had done. He had no
doubt that the action of the caucus had
been taken for the purpose of placing him
before his own constituents as a boltar and
he characterized the action as "the ghost of
ante-bellum days rising TO drive senator's

1t was at this juncture that the climax
of the days proceedings was reached. This
consisted in Mr.. Baieys bringing out the
fact that Mr.. Patterson had been present
at and had participated in the democratic
senatorial caucus in 1903, In which the rule
binding democratic senators by two-thirds
vote of the caucus had been adopted. Evil.
IDENTIFY the suggestion took Mr.. Patterson
by surprise. He did not appear to recall
the facts. and said there must be some
mistake because he had always held the
views now held by him.
Mr.. Bailey insisted that he was right In
his statement, but he vouchsafed the added
remark that he at the same time
satisfied that Mr.. Patterson had not mis-
represented when he said he did not recall
the caucus. He was proceeding to state
his reasons for believing MIR. Patterson to
have been present when he was interrupted
by his colleague, Mr.. Culberson, who rose
with a typewriter paper in his hand. Mr..
Culberson verified Mr.. Bailey's memory.

PATTERSON'S RECORD
SHOWN THAT HE ONCE VOTED
FOR CONTROL BY THE CAUCUS.

The Senate continued to be occupied by
the debate between Senators Patterson and
Bailey yesterday afternoon until o'clock,
when Mr.. Bailey closed.
In the last hour of the debate Mr. Bailey
became somewhat more personal toward
Mr. Patterson. repeating a report Whlcn
he had heard to the effect that Mr.. Fat
terson had bolted the last democratic caucus
for Denver city Offices
Mr. Patterson replied that the report was
entirely correct, saving that the democratic
organization was simply the tool OF the
utility corporations of the city; that these
corporations nominated both the republican
and the democratic tickets and then blended
the two, all the candidates being pledged
to continue the franchises of the corpora
TONS Without hesitation l bolted. he
said. Il refused to support that ticket
and did the best l could to elect another
ticket" He declared that the ticket he
supported had been elected by majority
of 5000 or 5000, but that this result or
the election had been prevented by raids
on the ballot boxes, resulting IN great
frauds.
Mr. Bailey interpreted the statement as
an admission that the democratic party was
composed Of 'rascals." but Mr.. Patterson
was prompt to resent the use OF the wore.
He characterized it as an Insult" He de-
clared that 90 per cent of the democrats or
that city were honest and Mr.. Bailey re-
piled that If 80 per cent of the members OF
the party there allow themselves TO be con-
trolled by 10 per cent the 30 per cent must
be FOOLS and" he said, I'D as lief deal
with a rascal as a fool" He added the sug-
gestion that the senator should not feel Of
Tended when he should say that the Col
orado senator Is falling into the habit of
boiling and that he did not do what he
had done as the result Of principle of
conduct
MIR. Patterson replied that he did not feel
offended. II have received the ukase of the
he said, lin perfect equanimity."
He added that when the caucus undertakes
to dictate to a senator so as to compel him
to violate his conscience 1t is overstepping
the bounds of its authority.

No woman with unsound kidneys can be healthy. Sick kidneys, in fact, cause the majority of women's trou- bles.
 But there is no need to get down hearted If you suffer constant back ache, weariness, bearing down pains, sick headaches, etc. Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women af- ficted in this way.
 They soothe, cleanse and stimulate, rouse the kidneys to action, and drive the kidney poisons out of the body. They remove the cause and cure per manently. Many women of this city have been cured and gladly tell of 1t.

For years I had the worst pains anyone could stand through my back and kidneys. It was a common occurrence to get out of bed in the morning suffering.
