no fire and no trace found of the violator

METHODS Of M|[NANTS
IGNORED AT BUDAPEST
Woman's Suffrage Alliance
Adi0urnS Without Having
Controversy.

BUDAPEST. June 21.-Thanks to the
tactful leadership of Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, the president. the congress of
the International Woman Suffrage AL
lance closed today without becoming en-
tangled in a controversy over the Ques-
ton of militant methods in the advance
ment Of the cause.
Mrs. Helen A. M. Swanwick of London
introduced resolution that in country
enjoying free speech, free press and free
dom of organization, constitutional meth
DDS were best adapted to gain the en-
reimbursement of women, intending there
by to have the congress rebuke Mrs.
Anne Cobden-Sanderson and Mrs. Char
lotte Despard Englishwomen, who de-
livered fiery harangues before the con-
gress yesterday advocating militant tao
tics.
Maintains Neutral Attitude.
Mrs. Gait took the situation in hand
and persuaded the congress to decline to
discuss the resolution, as it had already
avowed it's attitude on the question to be
neutral. Today'S session was taken up
largely in discussing the establishment of
international headquarters and the re-
moval of the official organ, JUS Suffragy.
from Rotterdam. The whole matter final
ly was left to the board of officers. 1t is
tolerably certain that both the headquar-
tiers and the paper will be established in
London.
May Meet Next in Berlin.
| The selection of the next place of
meeting was also left to the board, which
probably will decide to accept the invita-
ton Of the German delegates to meet in
Berlin, as many objections have been
raised to San Francisco on account of the
distance, and also on the ground it is To-
Gated in a country where suffrage is so
advanced the influence of the congress
