stitutional Amendment giving women the
right TO vote in all elections Will not ask
their husbands, fathers. brothers or sweet
hearts for a single penny to pay the cam

Of campaigning by their own efforts. OF
course, they will not refuse any cash given
~ the men. but they will not ask for
single penny, and all contributions from
men who believe IA the suffrage cause must
be purely voluntary. The women have
dozen ways OF raising money. Here are
the things they are doing or intend 10 do:
Giving minstrel shows. bazaars, food
sales. fancy goods sales. doing their house
hold work and saving servants hire. max
ing dresses for their neighbors, putting up
,ruit for neighbcrs, gardening and selling
tho vegetables To themselves at market
urices for home use making their own
clothing, arranging booths and furnishing
meals at fairs. picnics and other gather
ines and selling post cards of Kansas
scenes and people.
Thus far more than $500 has been raised

suffrage campaign, and less than $500 OF
tbjs money has come directly from mascu-

The woman suffrsgists were divided yes
terday between jubilation over the success
81 their parade on Saturday and the made
quacy of the police protection at many
points on the line OF march. At every
place where the suffragists gathered these
two topics were uppermost, and 1t was
hard to separate them, for talk about the
parade at once brought up the subject Of
the police
II was at the lower end OF Fifth avenue
that the marchers had the most trouble.
and after that at 29th street and the blocks
from S2d TO 35th street and in 9th street.
Fifth avenue and sd street was psrticu-
larry bad point, for many people chose sd
street for their crosstown artery, and they
were continually trying to break through
the line of march.
An extra guard OF police was stationed
there by Inspector McClusky, but with the
four hundred men allowed him to police
the entire route of the parade he did not
have enough for any point and when 1t
came to preserving order at such difficult
place as the junction Of go street. Broad
way and Fifth avenue he was powerless.
But IL was not much better all he way
down 10 Washington Arch from % street.
Within twenty minutes after the mead OF
the parade had left the arch the crowds
below 23d street had broken away from
coice control and were swarming from the
sidewalks into the street In such numbers
that the marchers had to abandon their
formation Of four abreast and make their
way 10 ed street in the best order they
could
There was no complaint from the women
of the treatment they received rom the
police who were assigned to the line of
march The complaint was that not
enough men were on duty. SO far as they
could the police did their best TO hold the
crowds in check, but about the only way
they could manage TO make a lane for the
marchers was by running automobiles into
the crowds 20 drive them back and leading
into the crowds the horses drawing the
carriages. Whenever an automobile or a
made use of in this way to force back the
crowds and make room for the ma-chers.
After 23d street was passed there were
few blocks Of respite and open order march
ing until Goth street was reached. \ brief
halt and rest had been planned at 9th
street, and as the head Of each division
reached that point a halt was called.

eral interest I'm the question. While /
do rot find much interest in the move
ment among the politicians, 1 would not
be surprised IL a bill in favor of woman
suffrage should pass next fall. simply
because most voters are beginning to
think that 1t would do no harm TO let
the women have the vote. and 1t might
do good. A good many people think
that things are go bad now that they
can't get much worse any way

Crowds Fill Line of March.

Immediately the crowds north of 2Ith
street seemed to think IL was an imperative
duty for them 10 oyerbear the police lines
and MI the streets, and they carried out
that duty most thoroughly. The result was
that when the marChers once more started
forward they had almost TO tight their way
h. o9th street. and tho same crowded con-
ditions were found Fl rom ED street to 35th
streets.
When c5th street had been passed the
crowds preserved much better order.
They broke through the police lines from
time 10 time. and in their anxiety TO see
left hardly room for the marchers. but 1t
vas not much trouble for the police to
force them back. and it was only for min
utes at time that there was trouble be-
yond the crown Of Murray Hill, until 57th
street was reached.
There all semblance OF an attempt to
preserve order seemed to be given up. II
was only a mad rush from Fifth avenue to
Carnegie Hall. and many Of the paraders
