100000 PETITION
vOTESFOR WOMEN
Admiral SchIey Gets Button and
Promises to Cooperate
in Struggle
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, April 1S.--With ban
ners afoat, finery aflutter and oc-
cupying a procession of taxicabs nearly
a mile long, the suffragists in conven-
tion here moved on Capitol hill toGay
and presented to congress 100000 in
dividual demands for votes for women.
The mammoth national petition was
divided into little ones, each tied with
a bit Of yellow ribbon and grouped into
little bundles of convenient size for a
suffragette to carry under her arm.
Senators and representatives from
every state received some part of that
petition. Representative Wiley of New
Jersey announced he would refuse to
present the petition of the New Jer-
sey delegation because of the kissing
of President Taft at the suffrage con-
vention.
Admiral Schley passed by during the
parade.
Two suffragettes hoped out of a
taXicab and pinned a votes for wo-
men" button on the admiral
THANK you, ladies'" he said; II will
cooperate"
DIR. Anna H. Shaw, who had been
reelected president of the National
Woman's Suffrage association a few
minutes before, rode in the first auto
mobile. About seventy-five others fol-
lowed in single file down Pennsylvania
avenue and on to the capitol.
Many of the delegations had appoint
ments with their representatives but
there was a sharp tilt on the rules in
progress in the house between Speaker
Cannon and Representative Henry of
Texas, and they had to wait.
Senators placated the women by giv-
ing assurances that the petition would
be taken under the order of new
business" later.
The convention today elected the fol-
lowing officers: President, DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, Pennsylvania; corre-
spending secretary, Mary Ware Den
nett, Massachusetts.

ments of cotton to New York for de-
livery on contract and the arrivals re-
ported today were in excess of $4,000
bales, including nearly $4,000 from Liv-
erpool, while the stock of cotton avail
able for delivery on contract already
has increased from about $1,000 bales to
100000 bales.
SOME SCATTERED BUYING
Even so, it has been apprehended in
local circles that the amounts of cot
ton arriving here from the south and
abroad were not sufficient to satisfy
completely the contracts held by the
bull leaders, estimated at about 400,-
900 bales, and there has been some
scattered buying based upon an un-
expectedly successful issue Of the bull
I campaign.
There was some selling by profess
sional traders on the idea that legal
action might force liquidation of the
bull holdings. But close students of
trading expressed the opinion that the
bull leaders had increased rather than
reduced their contract holdings. The
market ruled considerably steadier in
late trading and closed at a loss of
only 10 to 10 points for the day.
When news of the governments de-
cision first was circulated the market
became very weak and unsettled and

take yo' coffee?"
The coffee was black and
strong; the broth was a tempta-
ton, and she slipped with in

and planked trout brought the
meal to triumphant end, with
the world not such a chamber of
wild horrors as it had seemed
when she had awakened. Yet
where was he, and how should she
depart? Where was the Roc?
Who were these men? The guns,

they safely return her to the CIV

mantic-but how creepy! There

The red-faced captain was ha-

girl captive, "Come ere, my pref

Silly, but it made her heart
flutter to imagine the motley sea-
Irovers with blunderbusses at the
fright shoulder shift, filing toward
the cabin. The lieutenant must
arrange for her departure at

she recalled vaguely the influence

The fisherman analysed this

absolute silence. Then he said,
