Washington.-The president of the
United States, the first chief executive of
the nation ever to greet II convention
Of woman suf'ragists, braved the danger
Thursday night of facing an army OF
women who want the ballot; had the
courage to express his opinion, and was
Kissed. So great was the throng that
sought admission to the hall that hun.
dreds were turned away.
President Taft was welcoming to
Washington the delegates to the conven'
ton of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. He had frankly
told them he was not altogether in sym
pathy with the suffrage movement, and
was explaining why he could not sub.
scribe fully to its principles. He said
he thought one of the dangers in grant
izs women vas that the
women as a whole were not interested
in it, and that the powe" of the ballot
as far as women are concerned would
be controlled by the LESS desirabt,

Chorus of Kisses.
When these words fell from the presi-
dents lips the walls of the convention
hall echoed a chorus of feminine Kisses.
1t was no feeble demonstration of pro-
test. The combined Kisses sounded as If
a valve on a steam engine had broken.
President Taft stood unmoved on the
platform during the demonstration of
h~ostility-for the kissing continued but
a moment-and then, smiling as he
spoke, he answered the unfayorable greet
ing with this retort:
Nov, my dear ladies, you must show
yourselves capable of suffrage by ~exercis-
ing that degree of restraint which is nee
essary in the conduct of governmental af-
fairs by not Kissing"
The women who had Missed were re-
buked. The presidents reply had APP
parently taken hold. There were no more
Kisses while the president continued his
address, which he characterized as "my
confession on the woman suffrage ques-
lion. At the conclusion of his talk he
was enthusiastically applauded, and
some of the leaders of the convention eX.
to him their sincere regret OF
he unpleasant incident. President Taft
assured them he had not had his feelings

ATHLETIC BURGLARS
IDENTITY UNCERTAIN
By Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, Cal. June 1I.-So
many discrepancies have appeared in the
various statements made by Raymond NJ
Wiley, the burglar captured last night
at the home OF James NJ. Yankie In this
city, that the detectives who have been
looking up his record are now In doubt
as to whether he is the former college
athlete and scion Of a wealthy family
that he claims to be. or an imposter who
may have long criminal record.
Few OF the statements made by Wiley
thus far have been verified even the
spelling OF his name casts doubt upon
his story. He refused today 10 make fur
ther statements regarding his past, eX-
cept to declare that he had been intox-
icated continuously for the last two
months and did not know what he was
doing when he entered the Yankle home
last night Even this is disputed by Mr.
Yanklc and the arrestlng officers. who
declare that the burglar was not under
the influence OF liquor and piled his
trade skillfully,
Wlcy's appearance would bear out his
claim that he was once an athlete of
note. He is extremely muscular, with
the clean-cut figure of Il sprinter. Before
he was borne down by weight OF num-
bers last night, he threw his captors
about though they were children. Be
cause OF the doubt as TO the antecedents
OF the burglar, his arralgnment was de-
Iayed until Monday to give the detectives
time for further investigation.
