NEWMAN IS CITED
TODEFEND TITLE
Ordered to Show Cause Why
Quo Warranto Writ Should
Not Be Issued.
ARGUMENTS IN COURT
Justice Wright Holds W. J. Frizzell
Has Right to File Application to
Test Commissioners Eligibility.
ARGUMENTS IN COURT

Justice Wright yesterday issued writ
citing Oliver P. Newman. Commissioner
of the District, to show cause within
twenty days why a writ or quo warranto
to test his eligibility to hold the office
as District Commissioner should not be
issued against him.
This action followed a ruling by the
court permitting William ]. FrizZell, rep
resenting the Home Rule Committee, to
file an application for the writ. The fl
ing of the application was opposed by
Attorney jackson H. Ralston, represent
ing Commissioner Newman.
Objections and exceptions were filed
yesterday, and Mr.. Ralston and counsel
for Mr.. Frizzell argued the matter at
length, Justice Wright holding that the
interest Of Mr.. Frizzeil in the matter was
sufficient to justify the filing of his ap-
The proceedings to oust Mr.. Newman
are based on the claim that he was not
a citizen of the District for three con-
secutive years just preceding his ap-
pointment by President Wilson. Commits
sioner Newman, in his answer, declared
that Mr.. FTizzell is not entitled TO bring
this suit merely because he is a resident
and tax payer of the District, such facts
not giving him sufficient interest in the
matter to permit IL.
1t is further argued that Mr.. Newman
was appointed Commissioner of the Dis
trict by the President of the United
States, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate; that his qualifica-
tIons were fixed by law, examined into
and determined by the President and
Senate. and cannot be reviewed by any
judicial authority; that Mr.. Frizzell, with
his attorney, appeared before the COM
mittee Of the Senate having the nomina-
ton in charge. and objected to the con-
firmation, but that such objections were
unanimously overruled.
Would Interfere with Work.
1t is stated In Commissioner Newman's
declaration that no public interest will
be served by the granting of the writ as
prayed for, but that, on the contrary,
the exercise of public functions will be
hampered thereby. 1t is also set forth
that the Commissioners are at present
engaged in the preparation Of the an
nual budget of the District, involving
the apportionment and expenditure of
about $l4,Oo0,Oo0 and that a judgment OF
custer against Commissioner Newman
would result in crippling the manage
ment of the affairs OF the District 1t
would also interfere with the work OF
the Public Utilities Commission 1t is
stated, as II mas pelulnS d nuHlper ot
questions that effect materially the in
te-ests OF the citizens and residents Of
the District.
The procedure is characterized by
counsel for Mr.. Newman as IAN attempt
to invoke an infringement by the judicial
authorities upon the powers, response
h.lities and duties Of the executive and
legislative branches of the government,
which are especially charged with the
determination of the qualifications of
appointees to Office and whose conclu-
sions are final as to such matters COM
mitted to them"

donna of the Chica ago-Philadelphia Grand

The club members recently decided to

space for other club needs. Todays func-
ton was arranged to give the woman

a formal goodbye to the present quar-
ters. where they have been received at
an annual ladies' day reception for the
past three or four years.
In honor of the women the clubrooms
were decorated with palms and roses.
The reception was OF an informal char
acter. Mile. Teyte's appearance was not
announced In advance. and it proved a
big surprise to the large number Of FEM
mime guests who began sembling at 2
o'clock. Miss Teyte program was a
varied one. and was heightened by de-
mands for encoreS. The clubhouse will
continue to be open to the woman guests

one member OF the House rules COM
mittee, which passes on the question of
creating new committees, had asked him
regarding the establishment OF a House
suffrage committee.
In reply TO this question the President
told his callers that he thought this would
be a proper thing to do. So that. as far
as his personal advice has been asked on
the subject, he said. he has approved the
plan He conc. .uded by saying that he
had made the explanation III order to
show that in refusing the request for the
special message he was living up to the
principles which he has set for himself.
When the President finished DR.. Shaw
spoke up again.

the President nodded assent. 'As We are
members of no political party, to whom
are we to look as our spokesman unless
we speak for ourseives?"
You do that very admirably remark
ed the President. and the entire party
joined In the laugh that followed.

Congress Urging House
Committee on Suffrage.

HE ASSURES DELEGATION
Dr.. Anna Howard Shaw, Spokesman.
Is Satisfied to Learn of Presi-
dents Approval.

President Wilson today told = delesa-
tiop from the National American Woman
Suffrage Association that he favored the
organization of n woman suffrage COM
mittee In the House, but denied their re-
guest that he send d special message to
Congress urging the reform. He ex-
planned that since woman suffrage was
not part OF the last democratic plat
fern he did not feel called upon to I'M
pose his personal feelings on Congress.
Headed by DIR. Anna Howard Shaw,
president of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association: Mrs. Me-
dill Mccormick of Chicago and Miss
Alice Paul, chairman OF the Congress

see the President They had been wait
ing in Washington several days be
cause the President had been i'll and
could not see them before.
In the delegation were women from
every state of the nation. They did not
march with bands and banners. as had
been announced. but walked quietly into
the executive offices by two and three,
and We're quickly shown into the Prcsi-
dents Office There they grouped them
selves about MN. They had been care
fully instructed to neither applaud nor
make any other demonstration While in
the presence of the President.
DIR. Shaw Acts as Spokesman.
DR.. Shaw, acting as spokesman, ex-
planned briefly what the women wanted.
She said that although the Judiciary
committee of the House had always
courteously received sudragists il had

She called attention IL the .act tnat
there IS a suffrage comm.ttce in the
senate and concIuaed BY ASKING that the
President either send a speciai 1nes.;tge
to Congress urging the appointment OF
"A House committee on the subject, men
his influence TO BRING about the forit-a
tion Of such committee.
The President pointed 20 the fact that
he is constantly guarded while QUO
walking, Us showing tnat he Is 10
longer an indiyiauaI. bn, the office" of
a great government. incidentally, he
sad, he: IS the spokesman of party.
he added that while Governor OF Ney
Jersey he had astabi,s G.; tine rule Tor
himself not to urge j.: messages any
policies which hast not been cons der,ri
by his party, and that lie has followed
the same rule since becoming President.
Ihe President told the women that
ne never VIII present - Congress his
private views on any subject, because
n conceived that to hc q part OF ths
whole process OF government lie said
that he will be spokosnlan fer SOME

told the President that although her hus-
band had voted at the last election for
Roosevelt. she and her daughter voted
for President Wilson.
Il hopd0 you will make Your husband a

After leaving the President some of the
suifragists criticised him. but DI. Shaw
said that she was very we'll satisfied.

Demand For Hoo Product.

Chicago. July 24.-Heavy exports Of
nog product to Europe furnish one
explanation Of hog market stability.
Isaac NJ. Hodgkinson. the Armour
manager at London was here recently
and took very bullish view OF the
prospect. He said: In pork produc-
ton America stands pre- eminent and
probably always will. No other coun-
try Is in position to supply Euro
peans deficiency, and demand both for
lard and meats on our side of the At
iantlc is constantly developing. Neither
ireland nor Denmark are increasing
exports and pig growing in England
mas been restricted by rigid govern
ment inspection. Like American cat
tie. the hog raised in this country is
finished and its product is standard.
There is n world shortage OF
every commodity into which the hog Is
convertible. 1t is 1act that few
states in America are producing the
surplus hog product of the world. At
intervals we are promised new devei-
opment in various sections. but il
proves to be a development solely ON
paper. The Chinese pig and the 81
berian hog have been extensively ex-
plotted. but they fail 20 show up at the
market
