PASTORS FAVOR SUFFRAGE
Hearty Responses Greet Women's
Canvass of Delaware Clergy.

Hearty Responses Greet Women's
Canvass of Delaware Clergy.
Many Delaware clergymen are 90
ing on record as favoring equal suf-
ffrage and the women advocating this
cause seem to be making a winning
fight among the members of the min
lstry in this State. The Delaware
Equal Suffrage Association has been
sending out letters to the clergymen o.
the State, asking for their views on
the suffrage question. Rev. A. S.
Mowbray, superintendent of the Will
mington district of the Wilmington
M. E. Conference, says the associa-
tion's claims are just and right and
that he stands with the members for
equal suffrage before the law for all
mankind. Rev. w. H. KELLOGG.
pastor of Grace M. E. Church, saws
he believes in the cause and has no
fear as to its ultimate success. Rev.
I. j. Hopkins, pastor of the Della
ware Avenue Baptist Church. SAYS he
cannot see by what right man refused
to give the ballot to women. Rev.
Alfred Smith, of Dover, temperance
evangelist says he has been a wo-
mans suffragist for years and is in
hearty sympathy with the movement.
Rev. c. T. Wyatt, pastor of Har-
rison Street M. E. Church, says VIC
men for the most part are on the
right side of all moral questions and
he would not fear to trust them with
the ballot. Rev. Robert Watt, pas
tor of the Smyrna NJ. E Church,
says wherever women have been given
the opportunity to participate in civil
affairs the results have more than
justified the experiments. Rev. w.
W. Sharp, pastor of the Newport NJ.
E. Church, says he most heartily
believes in the suffrage movement,
and Rev. Adam Stengle, president of
the City Missionary Society, says he
hopes he will live to see the day
when this unjust discrimination
against women will cease.

WoIbert Tells Tribune Reporter What
Was Accomplished on Recent Trip
to the Twin Cities. 80: .s4

Messrs Wolbert and Thompson
who have returned from their trip
to Minneapolis and st. Paul, where
they went to see about placing some
advertising for the registration, did
some fine stunts during their absence.
A series of advertisements were ar
ranged for to be printed in a string
of papers reaching from Minneapolis
and St. Paul to Boston, New York and
Philadelphia. =" I.
The combined circulation of the
papers chosen reach about 60,0O0,0oc
readers. There are a large number OF
the larger daily papers used and a
number of the national farm papers.
Advertisements were placed in the
score cards that were sold in the
grand stand at the Minnesota state
fair and this medium reached over
1000 people, and results have al
ready been secured from this particu'
lar stunt.
Regarding the work being done by
the railroads advertising Bismarck
as the registration point, Mr.. Wolbert
told a Tribune representative that
both the 500 and the N: p are pre-
pairing advertising matter and that
Bismarck was the only point mention
ed as a place for registration. The
500 is arranging to put on through
passenger train from the Twin Cities
70 bismarck that will make the same
time as the local on the N. P.
With all this work being done for
Bismarck it looks as though the es'
innate of 10000 registrations men
toned by the Commercial club, Will
be easily reached. :,

ELECTRIC HEADLIGHT
IS GIVEN BLACK EYE
CLAIMED THE BRIGHT GLARE
MAKES, IT HARD FOR ENGINE
AND TRAiNMEN TO Dls1lNG'
STATIONS AND OTHER TRAINS.
uish THE SIGNAL LIGHTS At

Exhaustive tests which have just
been completed on the Northern Pa
ctfic lines in Montana give the cleo
trio locomotive headlight another
black eye and results in the same
general. conclusion which followed the
recent Great Northern tests. The ex'
perts IMPORT that the tremendous
shaft Of white light makes the dark
ness outside Of the light zone even
more intense, and had the effect OF
lessening the quickness Of the men to
observe signals and corroborate their
colors.
The tests were made in the pres
ence OF general officers of the road
and members of the Montana railway
/ commission. Forty employees were
examined with reference to the ef'
feet upon their eyesight OF the bril-
liant beam OF the electric headlight
both ofsoncoming trains and as seen
from the engine cab. The conclusions
of the railway officers are summarized
IN the following extract from the re-
port Of the division superintendent:
The action Of the intense light
rays from the electric headlight rem
ders the signal carried invisible until
the engine is within 500 feet of the
observers. The signals may then be
seen, sbut their colors cannot be de-
tected tor a space of from two to
threeassconds. The full view OF the
signals Is therefore Of but three tor
four seconds duration. This Is too
short d time to permit observers.-to
confirm the color and significance OF
the signal carried. ...
.'The use of the electric headlight
does hot increase the danger to the
occupants Of the engine cab. q Il
would appear that it does not inter
fere with the view Of the signals being
approached, but the color Of night
signals ID no more distinct than with
good oil headlight.
.The effect Of running against an
opposing electric headlight is to blind
the vision 81 the enginemen and to ap'
parently increase the darkness Of the
space outside OF the beam Of light
This results In increased danger to
men whose duties require them e

"MARINES WILL CO." SAYS
MILITARY AFFAIRS CHAIRMAN
Hull Is Not FavorabIy Impressed with
Secretary Dicklnson's Recommend
alton for More Officers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Secretary OF
War Dickinson today received little en-
couragement in regard to his recon-
mendation for an increase in the num-
ber of officers for the army.
With the view of impressing upon
congress his ideas on this subject, as
embodied in his annual report, he had a
conference with Chairman Hull of the
house committee on military affairs to-
day. Mr.. Hull was not sanguine over
the outcome of the attempt.
"Why. as late Of 1901 we gave them
as many officers as they said they
would ever need for an army of 100000
men," said Mr.. Hull as he left the sec
retary's office. "Now they want 700
more. How long will those be suffi-
cefnt?"
He admitted some branches of the
service should be increased, among
them the signal corps.
The chairman of the military affairs
committee continues to urge the abol-
ishment of the marine corps as an inde-
pendent organization.
"Why could we not have sent the
infantry to Nicaragua as well as the
marines?" he inquired. "The adveIS of
the big battleships, to my mind signi-
fies the passing of the marines"
