TRAFF|C
Women Suffragists Start
Campaign for National
Fight Against the
Saloons-Hot Con-
test Pending
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, July 3.-The vital
issue today before the National
American Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation, In convention here, and the
Question which promises to preci-
pitate the most interesting con-
test of the meeting, is whether or
not a fight is to be made against
the organized liquor traffic.
Resolutions, placing woman suf-
lfrage associations all over the
country in an open fight against
the liquor interests, are being con-
lsidered by the resolutions commit
tee, which held preliminary con-
ference this morning. A report
to the convention will be made
Tuesday afternoon and. before
that report is made, strong pres
sure from both sides will be
brought to bear on the members
of the committee.
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, ma
Itional president, who is leading
the fight against the liquor inter-
ests, in her annual address, said
that the liquor dealers were the
bitterest foes the suffragists had.
She said they openly opposed the
women and that the only way to
succeed was to go out and make
an open fight against the liquor
traffic.
National Auditor Laura Clay, in
discussing the resolution, said to-
day that in her opinion there was
lbut one way to secure the fran
Ichise for women, and that was to
flight in the same manner they
were being fought.

IMPEDIMENT TO ART

BERKELEY, Cal, July a.
Clothes are only of value In art
in SO far as they convey an impress
sion of what is beneath them. In
other words, they are an impedi-
ment to art" This is the defense
of nude artistic expression made
by Prof. Frederick Mortimer Clapp

assertion has created a furore of
discussion in university circles
here, and is live topic of con-
versation today.
Prof. Clapp, who has spent
years in the study of art, made de-
fense of art in the nude during the

BENNETT MAY
QUIT JOB

Nelson Bennett of the park
board does not know what he will
do about that unpaid salary of
$500 month which the county
attorney says he is not entitled to.
II have not made up my mind
yet. he said this afternoon when
asked what he intended to do
about 1t.
/, He has not received the cash,
however, and the chances do not
look good.
If he is not satisfied with the
ruling of the county attorney he
can bring mandamus proceedings
against the county treasurer to
compel the payment of the war
rant. The court woul d then de-
eide which is right, the county at
torney or the park board.
If he does not get the cash, 1t
is expected Bennett will resign.
He stated several weeks ago he
did not intend to work for the city
for nothing.
