At CLAS0N POINT
Suffragists UnWittingIy Put on
Prohibition Speaker.

Suffrage day at Clason Point yesterday
turned ont to be a cold. cold frost. The
Woman Suffrage party had been making
great plans for suffrage day 1T Clason
Point. too, ever since the management OIL
the resort there told Mrs. A. {. Hughs-
ton, the party's chairman of public DEM
Onstration. that the place would be turned
over to the cause" on Saturday, August
r. and that every guest wearing suf-
fragc button that day would be admitted
cree to every attraction II contained.
Maybe Mrs. Hughston didn't hustle.
The tent from which the suffragists speak
or ana on all summer to pleasure seek
ers at Clason Point was rejuvenated and
redecoratod. Pretty girls We're implored
TO act as "barkors." And then. when the
great day came, the weather turned cold
on the suffragists and discouraged
Clason Point crowds and q Prohibition
speaker imported from somewhere by
Mrs A. g. Flske. chairman OF the Bor-
ough OF The Bronx. finished the Job by
pouring cold water on the ones who did
come
Mrs. Fiske was enormously proud Of
that speaker-before nc began-because
he was n man and warranted to be a per-
fectly good suffragist. His name was a.
Brown. He dwelt on suffrage for about
five minutes, and then proceeded TO dis
course upon the evils OF looking upon the
wine when II Is red. The persons who
had stopped to listen silently melted
away.
Mrs. Hughston wandered over 10 the
person In authority there TO condole with
her on the slimness of the crowds at
Clason Point that day. They had not.
she told him. been able 10 sell any OF the
yellow buttons Of which they had brought
such a quantity. But the portly person
in authority gazcd upon her with a cold
and critical eye.
II like the suffrage principles OF your
party all right" no said but the people
Of this resort are not doing very well for
themselves turning II over 10 society
that talks against drinking like your
party does These people make their
money selling drinks at the dance hall
and other attractions here. Don't you
know that?"
Mrs. Hughston. who is usually pretty
talkativc. opened her mouth ana then
shut ii up again. She wandered back 10
the stand where the Prohibitionist was
talking. After he stopped Miss Martha
KIotchkon spoke. Miss Klotchken was
hoarse, and she apologized by saying;
Il got hoarse trying to hammer some
sense into the ears Of the people
Mrs. liugston, who takes some pride
On her Job Of public demonstration chair

When tho White Star steamship Olympic.
sailed yesterday morning il was an.
nounced that she would land her passen-
gers at Plymouth and proceed direct to
Belfast for the purpose of replacing the

age over. Those Of her two hundred pas

will reach Plymouth a day later than the
Olympic.
This is the third time that the worlds

with the British cruiser Hawke, just OUT

she struck a submerged wreck In the Eng

EARTHQUAKE DEAD 5000
Americans Report Appalling
Conditions in Turkey.
SIX THOUSAND INJURED
People, Stunned by Catastrophe,
Make No Effort to Help
Themselves.

Constantinople, Aug. 17.-An appalling
story OF suffering and damage caused BY
the recent earthquake in the Sea OF Mar
mora was told by the members OF the ex-
petition dispatched on August IL TO the
stricken district on board the United
States gunboat Scorpion, Suardship at
Coustsntirople. which returned here to-

j. Cornell Tarler, second secretary OK

cal mission Of four physicians on board
report that conditions along the shores
OF the Sea Of Marmora were found to oe
much worse than expected. They esti-
mate the number of killed in the various
towns and villages at 1900. while the total
Of those injured reaches 5000.
II was found impossible TO approach
several villages on account OF the odors
arising from the human bodies buried
among the ruins. Other villages were
simply heaps OF charred debris. The
plight OF the survivors has been rem
dered worse on account Of the difficulty
of obtaining building material Earth
duakes continue almost daily nj many
places along the coast. Six shocks were
felt yesterday and many damaged houses
collapsed
In several villages visited by the expe-
dition some of the houses which were APP
parently unchanged were found 10 con-
sst Of empty shells, the whole OF the
interior having collapsed.
At Myriophito the first appearance OF
the town was very deceptive, because a
number of the houses standing on the
sea front surrounded by gardens were In
tact. but Immediately in the rear scarce
" stick or a stone wac left upright.
Numerous assures were observed In the
ground, but none OF great size. although
the villagers reported that cleft nearly
200 feet deep had opened in a hillside
eight miles inland.
The people throughout the district ap-
peared utterly stunned by the catastro-
phe and made no attempt 70 help them
selves. sitting about in groups brooding
over their misfortunes and awaiting the
arrival of relief.
The Red Crescent Society and the Greek
philanthropic societies are doing good work
I'm the district, the Red Crescent having
dispatched missions to the interior TO as
siSt the sufferers
The Turkish transport Bezzm- Alem
has been converted into q hospital ship
and anchored off the coast, where It re-
ceives bad cases.
The American medical mission after
treating 800 patients and finding that it's
work was overlapping that of other mis-
sions handed over its supplies and med
icai stores TO the vail of Adrianuple, who
is experimenting the work on the scene.
