TO HELP WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Meeting at Cooper Union at which q His
tOric Gayel Is Used.


The thing which created the most enthu-
siasm at the mass meeting which was
held last night at Cooper Union under
the auspices Of the Interurban Woman
Suffrage Council was the gavel welded by
the chairman, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait.
When Terence V. Powderly was a work.
ingman, years and years ago, Mrs. Gait
explained, he had turned the wood from
which that gavel was made. and it had
served not only TO call to order innumer-
able conventions of knights OF Labor
but had subsequently been used by long
list Of eminent chairmen, among whom
were Charles Parnell, Mr.. Gladstone,
Robert Ingersoil. Frances Willard, Louis
Kossuth, President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt.
The audience OF about eight hundred
persons, one-third Of whom we're men.
Cheered the gavel and threw in an extra
one for the man who made IL.
Mr.. Powderly said that he couldn't re-
member the time when he hadn't thought
that women had just as much right to vote
as did men and that it. was really very
difficult for him TO advance any arguments
in favor Of wornan's suffrage. because it
seemed TO him that 1t was self-evident
proposition.
The Rev. ADtoinetts Brown Blackwell
who was the first woman in the world TO be
ordained as a preacher and who was one of
the pioneers in the suffrage NOV ement made
a short address. which was Enthusiastically
spplavded. Mrs. Harry Hastings Mrs.
Ella H. CrOssett Of Warsaw. the Rev. Anna
Howard Shaw and Miss Mary Garrett Hay
also spoke.
After passing Q resolution declaring that
the suffrage movement in this State has be-
come sufficiently strong to make 1t the i'm
perative duty OF the judiciary Committee to
report favorably upon the bill and the i'm
peratiye duty Of the ! legislature 10 submit
the questi on to the voters Of the State" the
meeting adjourned.

CLAIM WALTERS PLAY.
Conan e. Harris Say They Have Contract
for All His Work.

Legal proceedings are threatened by
Cohan & Harris over paid in Full Eugene
Walters successful play which is being
produced at the Astor Theatre by Wagon
halls 4 Kemper. Sam H. Harris said last
nj ght that his Arm had made a five years
contract with Walter for all his plays and
declared that he knew nothing about Paid
in Full" until he learned that IL had been
turned over to some one else. He said
that The UndertOw- was submitted TO
him, but as he couldn't use 1t he gave Walter
permission to sell IL somewhere else.
MIR Harris said that he had sent a note
70 the playwright enclosing $500 and de-
mandinR that Paid in Full" be turned
over to his firm. but Walter declined the
offer
Mr.. Walter said that as no consideration
was named in his contract with Cohan a
Harris. and as that firm had never done
anything for him. he felt that their action
az this time was due to their willingness
TO take hold Of something that was an
assured success. They have allowed him
70 sleep on park benches and eat in cheap
restaurants when he could scrape up the
money, he said, and in view OF that gen
erosity he didn't feel that he owed them
anything. He said that Cohan Il Harris
had agreed % call everything square IL he
would give them the out Of town rights.

North Can0lnians ~ Their Dinner Greet
Him Aa tho PreNIdentItO.EBe.

~ tsao FNCAAOGul@No~kNHs
The orth CarolinIans who live here
about had some folks from down home to
dine with them last night at the Hotel
Astor. The Tarheels started right OF by
being political. because when the president,
Walter H. Page. proposed a toast to the
other President. Theodore Roosevelt, there
was a profound silence.
That. lt waR explained. was because most
OF the persons present were In sympathy
with or afflliated with the American To-
bacco Company. which apparently doesn't
like the President OF the United States.
The treatment that toast received was all
the more pronounced when compared with
the greeting that Uncle Joe CannOn's name
got. Uncle Joe is North Carolinian by
descent, and that explains il. There was
rapturous applause for him.
DR.. John @. Kilgo, president OF Trinity
College In Durham. &C., TO which institute
James B. Duke gave $1,000, 900 simply be-
cause he likes DR.. Kilgo, got up to tell about
the growth Of prohibition in the South and
what IL means. DR.. Kilgo pitched into the
South good and plenty. He said the tenn
perance movement wasn't due to the W. c.
T. o. or the churches, but was a natural
movement Of Southern citizens to break
out Of their civic unrighteousness. He
characterized the strength Of prohibition
as due to the desire Of Southerners to show
that they had an opinion OF their own'
uncontrolled by parties as a mass.
The South has allowed its civic morals
20 decay said DIR. Klgo. The citizens
have been forced to act as a mass. In
dividualism thus was lost and conscience
died. There was no interest that was not
capitalized in behalf Of some unholy am
bition. The South now 10 casting an I'M
fettered vote and any movement that will
press homo to the South q sense OF civic
righteousness viii be a benefit beyond
economic calculation
DR.. Kilgo appealed for more thoughtful
and less passionate type OF citizenship in
the South. one that would be moro rational
and less easily stirred over trihes In
speaking OF the characteristic attitude OF
the Southerner in politics he told the story
Of the North Carolnian who bored and
bored at an oil well night and day which
eventually tapped a vein OF natural gas at
night when fires were burning near by.
The gas burned away up in the air and the
negro helpers ran 10 the house yelling,
Boss. we've struck Hades and she'so ire!"
He said the Southerner kept on boring at
politics until he got-he didn't say what he
got in Difference to the women present.
DR.. G. Alphonso Smith, professor OF
English literature in the University OF North
Carolina, and Joseph NJ. Dixon, United
States Senator from Montana, who has l5i
years OF Tarheel ANCESTRY, also spoke.

visit to the United States.
He repeated in part the sermon he
preached in New York, saying that the
wealthy were not the owners but the
stewards Of their wealth Among other
things he said he had noticed Ina America ,
as In England, a want OF Joy. He ascribed
this to the want Of true religion.
Conversing with the correspondent Of

the publicity American newspapers had
given to the game Of tennis he played
