Washington, April 15.-President
Taft, the first chief executive Of the
nation ever to greet a convention q
woman suffragists, braved the danger
last night of facing an army of We
men who want the ballot, and had the
courage to confess his opinion and
was Kissed.
Mr.. Taft was welcoming the dele
gates to the convention of the Nation
al American Women Suffrage associ-
alton. He had frankly told them he
was not altogether in sympathy with
the suffrage movement. He said he
thought one of the dangers in grant
ing suffrage to women was that wo-
men, as a whole, were not interested
in it and that the power of the ball
lot, as far as the women are con-
cerned. would be controlled by the
less desirable class"
Here a chorus or Kisses arose
Mr.. Taft stood unmoved. then smil-
ing. said:
Now, my dear ladies, you must
show yourselves capable of suffrage
by exercising that degree of restraint
which is necessary in the conduct Of
government affairs by not kissing"

with the disclosures of the sugar
FRAUDS. A resolution by Representa-
tive Fitzgerald, of New York, was
adopted by the house yesterday.

dealing with the sugar trust and charg-
ing that Wickersham and Henry w.
Taft. brother Of the president, had
certain legal connections with tn
