Mrs. Anna Howard Shaw. president of
the National Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, to-day, when asked by the United
Press for an explanation of the kissing
of the president at the meeting last
night. while in the same breath she
denied that the kissing was done by
the suffragettes.
He spoke purely as a politician.

from the angry women. MIR. Taft
had told the sufYragists that If any
class did not care enough about the
right to take part In government, to
participate as whole in the exercise
of political power, IL conferred. then
danger lay In the fact that the power
might be exercised by the least de-
sirable persons, and neglected by
many who would be most desirable
as members of the electorate
This did not please the suffragists,
and, although President Taft was
their guest, his speech was interrupt

over the hall. With the Kisses were
half-suppressed "cat-calls."
President Taft's color heightened.

was no tremor In the Presidents voice
when, resuming his speech. he said:

posing arguments, that degree of re-
straint, without which successful self

CITY ENGINEER
STILL ON STAND
Mr.. Boiling Continues His Testi-
mony in Case of City Against
Grouse Company.

THE entire morning session of the
United States Court In the case OF the
city of Richmond against the Grouse
Construction Company Was consumed
In the examination of the city's wit
nesses by Attorney Meredith. of the
defense.
City Engineer Charles r. Boiling,
who was on the stand nearly all of
Thursday. was called back Friday
morning. and continued giving his tes-
timony under the questioning of Mr..
Meredith. The attorney for the de-
Tense consumed much time in pro-
pounding technical questions OF con-
struction. dwelling for some time on
the method OF fastening the wires OF
the screen used In the flume. He also
went into detail In connection with the
concrete construction and the methods
of placing the concrete for the initial
setting. In answer TO Mr.. Meredifh's
question, Engineer Boiling said that
1t is not possible to get proper adhe-
sion by putting on separate layers OF
concrete. and that In order TO get Il
compact mass there must be no delay
between putting In the layers. He
stated that forty-five minutes Is re-
CURED for the initial set Of cement
and that II layer II put on after
that time has einpsed there with not be
the proper adhesion.

trolling the vote, may have Joined In
the demonstration.
They wefa young and did not know
that II doeDn't make much difference
what the preeident says"
The presidents reference to the Hot
tentots appears to be the chief cause
Of the chasrfn In the ranks Of the suf-
fragetteE. This Ii what he satd.
The theory that Hottentots, or any
uneducated. altogether uninteiligent
class Is fitted for self government 1T
once. or to take part In government,
Is theory that I wholly dissent from.
but this qualification Is not applicable
to the question here"
Mrs. Shaw took the Hottentot matter
with intense seriousness.
Calls II "Ati Nonsense"
1t Is all nonsense" she declared,
with vehefnence; they don't allow Hot
tentots to vote here unit, they have
been here five years-men or women.
There was - occasion to bring the
Hottentots into the discussion at ALL"
The presidents statement, "but this
is not applicable here" evidently
aroused the ire of the leaders, who re-
eented the possible inference that per-
haps some one might have thought it
was.
The presidents remarks on the gen.
eral subject OF woman suffrage were
such as any president might be ex-
pected to make. with the exception or
Roosevelt" continued Mrs Shaw.
Roosevelt. who has no control over
himself or anybody else, might have
laped over the barriers Of political re-
striction far enough to say something
else ~
Great CONSERVATION prevails in the
suffrage camp and the leaders spent
the morning in endeavoring to arrive
at plan OF action.
Mrs. Shaw concluded:
I'VE invited the president here last
night and, no matter what he said,
we should have received him courte-
ously, and ! am sure that the members
OF the association did. We will hold
a meeting Of the officers to-day to de-
eide what action we-wi4l take In ex-
planning the matter to the president
