TAFT IS KISSED
BY SUFFRAGETTES
Feminine Politicians Angered by
Presidents Frank COnfes=
sion of His Opinion

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE presi-
dent of, the United States, the first
chief executive of the nation ever to
greet a convention of woman suffrag-
lists, tonight had the courage to con-
fess his opinion and was hissed. So
great was the throng that sought ad-
mission to the hall that hundreds were
turned away.
President Taft was welcoming to
Washington the delegates to the con-
vention of the National Woman Suf-
frage association. He told them frank
ly he was not altogether in sympathy
with the suffrage movement and was
explaining why he could not subscribe
fully to its principles. He said he
thought one of the dangers in granting
suffrage to women was that women as
a whole were not interested in it, and
the ballot, as far as women are con-
cerned, would be controlled by the less
desirable class"
When these words fell from the presi-
dents lips the walls of the hall echoed
a chorus of feminine Kisses 1t was no
feeble demonstration of protest. The
combined Misses sounded as if a valve
on a steam engine had broken.
President Taft stood unmoved in the
demonstration of hostility-for the
Kisses continued for but moment-and
then, smiling, as he spoke, he answered
the unfavorable greeting with this re-
tort:
Now. my dear ladies. you must show
yourselves capable of suffrage by exer-
cising that degree of restraint which is
necessary in the conduct of government
affairs by not kissing"
The women who had Missed were re-
buked. The presidents reply appar-
entity had taken hold. There were no
more Kisses while the president con-
tinued his address, which he charac-
terized as MY confession" on the
woman suffrage question. At the con-
clusion of his talk he was applauded
and some of the leaders of the conven-
ton expressed to him their sincere re-
gret over the unpleasant incident.
President Taft assured them his feel
ings were not injured in the least

HOLD EXCITING ELECTION
Insurgents Upset Regular Ticket
Behind Closed Doors

While the meeting of the Ladies
Kennel Association of California for the
annual election of officers yesterday
afternoon at the ST. Francis was held
strictly behind closed doors, vague hints
and murmurs of heated argument and
wars and rumors of wars, peaceably
settled eventually, rumbled to the outer
world. Before the meeting opened
several of the women congregated in
the hallway and excited conversations
on 'electioneering" and the coming
event of the day ensued.
The regularly nominated ticket for
the election had been upset at the last
moment by persons unknown and MUIR
murs of knocking and ''unkind criti-
cism against absent parties fioated
about the hotel. The meeting, however
ended congenially enough, with the
following officers elected:
President, Mrs. Joseph c. Matheson

Nieborger; second vice president, Mrs

ADMIRAL CHANGES
NAVY Yard rule
COmmandant Sets Aside Order
of Holden Evans and Names
New Foreman
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

VALLEJO, April 14.-Rear Admiral
of the Mare Island navy yard, has made
his first move for the organization of a
bigger and greater naval station and
the overthrow of the regime instituted
the former manager of the yard.
Commandant Osterhaus recreated the
position of foreman laborer of the
yards and docks division yesterday and
appointed Charles f. Cahill to the place,
pending examination
The position given to Cahill existed
for years prior to Evans consolidation
act of February Il, 1909, which took
away from the yards and docks de-
partment all its individual departments.
Admiral Osterhaus' order has caused
great rejoicing among the thousands of
employees on the yard, who hail with
delight every setback given Evans
The commandant. however, caused
surprise today by directing that within
the next few days at least six of the
best known ship keepers shall be re-
lieved of their positions as a result of
the edict Of retrenchment just issued,
after several years service. The COM
mandant believes that where two ships
out of commission are anchored to-
gether one keeper should be able to
guard both.
Rumor has it that the next step will
be to deprive the 5000 employees of the
usual "15 days off with pay which
has been granted hitherto every year.
1t is said that the comptroller of the
treasury holds that the naval appro-
priation bill makes no provision for
payment for time off,

Points Regarding
The Census

The census begins April Is and
must be completed In Is days.
The enumerators will wear a
badge inscribed Omitted States
Census, 1870"
The law requires every adult
person to furnish the prescribed
Information, but also provides
that 1t shall be treated confiden-
TALLY, SO that no injury can come
to any person from answering the
questions.
The enumerators, prior to April
Is, will distribute to every fam
fly a blank or schedule. This
should be filed MP by the head of
the family. 1t should, IL possible,
be done not later than the morn
ing of April Is, but fl any one
has been unable to fill 1T up by
that time he should do 1t as soon
afterward as he can.
People who do not speak Eng
lish or who do not understand the
schedule completely should get
help from others, IL possible, I'm
filing 1t up.
The president has issued a
proclamation calling on all cIti-
xens to cooperate I'm the census
and assuring them that 1t has
nothing to do with taxation, army
OF jury service, compulsory school
attendance, regulation OF immi-
grafton or enforcement of any
law, and that NO one can be In
jured by answering the Inquiries.
1t is of the utmost importance
that the census of this city be
complete and correct.
Therefore the head of every
family should promptly. fully
and accurately fill up the fam
lily schedule" before it is called
for by the enun,erator.
