THINKS UNITED STATES
BEHIND-OTHER NATIONS
Mrs. Harper Declares Country
Backward in Protecting
Rights of Women.

although the United States is the
greatest republic in existence, 1t is also
the greatest satire on earth. While 1t
was indeed. the pioneer In declaring for
the rights Of man, 1t bids fair. as a gov
eminent. to be among the very last in
declaring for the rights of women"
This statement was made by Mrs. Ida
Hustled Harper of New York, one of the
suffragists who appeared recently before
the judiciary committee Of the House Of
Representatives, at a meeting today under
the direction Of the National Suffragist
Association at the home Of Mrs John B.
Henderson.
The United States poses as the expon-
ent of the most advanced political liberty,
Mrs. Harper declared, while every Euro
pean country is outstriding it in the way
of legislation protecting the rights Of
women.
Mrs. Harper scored the anti-suffragists,
who are opposing the suffrage movement
on the grounds that they would lose their
"privileges."
"The thing hardest for a woman to do
is to recognize and combat a wrong or
an evil that does not affect her individ-
ually, and it is therefore difficult for
women in general to feel a deep resent
ment against not having the ballot un-
less it causes them some personal injury
or Inconvenience.

AIMED AT DIsORDERLY HOUSES.
Bill on Subject Introduced by Sena-
tor Kenyon.

A bill aimed at disreputable houses in
the District Of Columbia was introduced
today by Senator Kenyon of Iowa.
The bill follows what is known as the
Cosson law of Iowa. That law provides
for action against the disreputable houses
as against the abatement of nuisances
and specifically provides for legal pro-
ceedings against the owners of the prop
erty in which the disorderly houses are
established.
The law is understood to have been
found satisfactory in Iowa. and Senator
Kenyon believes 1t means q betterment
for the District. He does not contem-
plate opposition, but said today that he
thought the Senate District committee.
to which the bill will be referred, would
grant a hearing IL requested.

One fashionable woman told Mrs. Har-

"STEAM ROLLER" IN USE
ON FREE SUGAR" BILL
Chairman Underwood Deaf to
Appeals From Democratic
Members.

When the House met today the Under
wood steam roller was in plain view.
ready. manned and fully prepared to over
come any serious opposition to the passage
of the free sugar. tariff revision bill that
might arise today. Chairman Underwood
of the ways and means committee de-
clared he was confident the measure would
pass before adjournment.
Scores of members, republicans and
alike besieged the ways and
means committee room to beg time in
which to state their views on the meas
ure. The requests were pressed especially
by the democratic members from the
sugar producing states To all the ap-
peals Mr.. Underwood turned a deaf ear.
He said the measure was party legisla-
ton and that the sentiments or principles
of isolated individuals could not be taken
into consideration.
Privilege Of Debate Lost.
Though many Of the democrats OPP
posed to free sugar who had planned to
make long speeches against the bill have
been cut Off from delivering them, all
have been granted the privilege to extend
their remarks in the Record. Under the
five-minute rule in vogue today all will
and long session Is anticipated. Many
attempts to amend the bill will be made,
and vote will not be reached until
after nightfall.
The motion OF Mr.. Underwood to close
general debate was adopted, 157 to 124,
and general debate on the measure was
closed after ten minutes divided between
Representative Payne Of New York, rank
Ing minority member Of the committee,
and Chairman Underwood. Mr.. Payne
assailed the democratic action in bitter
terms.
Scores House Action.

said. and this performance transcends
anything that I ever have seen perpe-

ploying methods that put to blush any
thing that ever was done on the floor
of this House. Thank God, there Ia q

Mr.. Underwood retorted that no one
could charge that he had received any
thing but justice. and denounced the re-
publican tactics as "dilatory." He re-
called that Wednesday he offered to per-
NIT eleven hours of debate on the bill,
that last night he had vainly sought to
extend the debate into the night. and that
today he had failed to gain republican
consent to continue the general debate
for two hours. Cheers and applause &C.
companied his arraignment OF the re-
publican side. The measure then was
taken up for amendment under the five-
minute rule.
