each of the SO assembly districts of
greater New York, filed the floor of

endowed with intelligence equally en-
titled to a free exercise of individual
rights: that the natural relation of the
sexes is cooperation and inter-depend-
ence; that governments which impose
taxes and laws upon women citizens
without giving them the right to con-
sent or dissent, exercise tyranny in
consistent with just government"
The convention demanded: That
amendments to state and national
constitutions permitting women 70

requiring third of the board of edu-
cation to be women; that compensa-
ton of all civil service employees, in
Guiding teachers, shall be by position,

GREEK MEETS CREEK
IN BATTLE AT SEA

Athens. Oct. 30.-After almost 1000
years-when Themistocles gained the
memorable victory over the Pesians-
Salamis again yesterday was the
scene of naval battle.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press witnessed at Scaramanga, yes
terday afternoon, twenty minutes of
fighting between the field batteries OF
big warships on one side, and mu-
tinous band of naval officers which
quilted the capital Wednesday, with
torpedo boats, on the other.
The first shots were fired at four
O'Clock, sharp, and an exchange of
shell followed. Some projectiles
struck the arsenal buildings, but the
correspondent saw only one she'll hit
a torpedo boat-the Sphendona, which
was Immediately enveloped in cloud
of smoke.
The torpedo boats gradually retired
backwards until they obtained the
shelter of headland. when the firing
ceased The rebel vessels during the
engagement returned the fire of the
warships and field batteries, but ap-
parently little damage was done on
either side. The rebels were led by
Lieutenant Tibaldos, and are reported
TO have numbered 800.
Athens is quiet, but there is much
suppressed excitement. An official
statement says that the arsenal, which
was in the hands of the rebels, was
recaptnred and the mutinous torpedo
boats are expected to surrender.
Tibaldos appears to have been actu-
ated by disapproval of the tactics
of the military league and Junior nav
al officers in consenting to a compro-
mise of the ultimatum recently issued

W|CkERSHAM IN
ATTACK ON BARNARD

New York, Oct 30.-Last nights
campaign oratory included an attack
on Judge Gaynor by United States At
torney General Wickersham, who
said:
''The citizens of New York, con
cerned only with the selection of an
honest, efficient administrator, surely
will not turn to judge whose course
upon the bench has been character
lied by political chicanery and dema-
gogic appeals; surely not to the pro
prietor of chain of newspapers dis
tinguished for unbridled license and
gross abuse of the liberty of the press
No, he will turn to a man of wide
successful business experience. Such
a man is found in Mr.. Barnard

by the military league demanding the
suspension of all promotion for five
years and the abolition of the posts
of the admirals and other places.
Tibaldos was prominent in the mill
tary movement in August. He was
the first officer to go to camp outside
of the city after the premier's re-
fusal TO receive a deputation of Of
ficers. Subsequently he was COM
mander of the rebel camp.
At a meeting of the military league
Thursday. Tibaldos said.
Il led the revolt Without me it
would have failed. Now you abandon
me, but l will carry out the second
revolt singlehanded.'
Repudiases Tibaldos.
Athens, Oct. 30.-The military
league issued a proclamation, disown-
ing Tibaldos, who commanded the flo
tilla of torpedo boats, and threatening
him with court martial for treason. 1t
is believed, however, that the leagues
attitude toward the naval officers VINO
were in yesterdays fight, is that of
indulgence.
The position of the torpedo boats
resembles that of the Russian battle
ship which mutinied in 1905 and fired
on Odessa, then roamed the Black
Sea several weeks. 1t is rumored that
the boats have gone toward Crete.
The military league had accepted
compromise with the government, but
Tibaldos spurned it as inadequate ana
secretly convened a meeting OF the
naval officers who all signed docu-
ment which besides laying down the
minimum demands, included the res
ignation of the minister of the ma
rine.
