ERROR APPEARS IN
THE NEW PORT BILL

salem ore, Feb. 23.-The Bean
port bill. providing for the establish
ment Of ports similar to the Port Of
Portland. has n sort of double shut
lie provision relative to the operation
Of tugboat service by such ports
when they are organized As the bill
was introduced it provided that the
ports would have the power to es-
tablish. maintain and operate tug
boats. As the bill was enrolled 1t
provided that the ports had the right
TO abolish. maintain and operate"
such service The mistake was
made In the engrossing or enrolling
committe and was not discovered un-
I'll after the bill was ready to sign
The mistake is not important but by
the strict construction of the bill
without reference to the journals and
records Of the house, the ports could
maintain. operate and abolish but
could not create tugboat service, with
out which the organization would be
badly crippled The mistake will un'
doubtedly be noted and corrected IN
the compilation Of the session laws.

NEW YORK WOMEN DEMAND THE BALLOT

Albany. y. Y, Feb. 24.-Women Of
all sorts. sizes and conditions, women
in all walks Of life. from scruh-women
to fair professionals and min.ouaires
wives women Of all ages, clad in all
sorts Of clothes. pretty young women
I'm the ruffiest ruffles and hard-v.slg-
ed sisters of doubtful age-hundreds
Of women. bound together by the ties
Of a single hearted purpose, swagmed
into Albany today and besieged ,hv
legislative halls TO demand of the men
who make the laws the sacred righ,
of the ballot.
There were also anti-suffrag.sJs,
the dogs in the manger, who do not
want 10 vote and who demand that all
other women shall be kept from vot-
ing. and these made almost as much
of clamor, although fewer in number
than the suffrage sisterhood.
The senate judiciary committee was
the storm center in the onslaught of
the women, and the public hearing on
Senator Hills proposed constitutions
al amendment. which would give the
fair sex the right 10 vote in the EN-
pire State, was the cause Of all the
trouble.
Pro and con. but principally pro
the question was argued before th'
dazed legislators, who early in th'
game gave up all hope of stemming Of
diverting the tide of oratory and re
signed themselves TO their fate.F Facts
figures and statistics. all tending t
prove beyond peradventure that won
en- have or have not the inalienabl
right to the ballot, were hurled at tn
heads of the patient Solons, VIII

grim desperation, while the word
battle waged back and forth, now I

SOIons Visibly Affected.
Perhaps the greatest argument ad
yanced by the suffragists was tn
statement that scores of New Yor
CITY women. who came to Albany thi
morning several carloads strong, ha
relinquished all hope Of Easter bon
nets in order to pay the IS fare
Albany and beard the legislators il
their den. At this pathetic exampl
of self-sacrifice for the Cause the leg
fslators were visibly touched, and on
of them was observed to wipe away
tear.
It was Mrs. Stanton Blatch VIII
sounded the war-cry which resulte
in the attendance here today of man
