irrigation of all great areas of land
prohibitive. Sun power plant, by work

handicap completely. and as soon as

enable the tropics to support a vastly
greater population than they are able
to do at present.
"In America in the summer and
fall of 1911 a thirty-three horse sun
power plant was thoroughly tested
with perfect success In Cairo we
hope to have the plant working by
the first of next month.
"If its success there Is esta blished fta
use in tropical countries must become
general, because no one need have to
face any longer the difficult problem
of fuel. In addition to the tropics the
sun power plant could also be used
with immense advantage in the south
of France. Spain and Italy and, In
fact. in all countries where they have
on an average Is per cent OF sunshine

Mr.. Shuman added that IL will also
be possible, by means OF electric stor-
age batteries. to store the power that
is derived from the SUN just as one
can store any other power.

she had found one to suit, but before

the Editor of TILE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Please publish the following few
words: Commissioner Johnston made a
statement that he himself was ahead Of
the suffrage parade on March 3 and
everything was all right. 1t was big,
typical, good-natured American crowd,
and they didn't insult anybody. I was
one of the marchers, and shall say that
the police did not co anything to protect
the marchers. We started four in a
line. When We came to about Sixth
street and Pennsylvania avenue we had
10 reduce our lines to two, and little
later we could hardly pass one in line.
have heard plenty of remarks on ac-
count Of the marchers which cannot be
printed. i imagine that after the au-
thorities saw that things were getting
serious they got about dozen cavalry
men and the Avenue was cleared up in
about ten minutes, so we were able to
form our lines at four again. The time
was limited to get more forces TO pro-
tect the women. That only shows one
more time that we did not make any
progress as to our officials here. I
remain, for woman suffrage in the near
future. A NAN MARCHER.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:


The people Of the District of Column
bIa should not be held responsible for
the outrageous conduct Of q gang OF
hoodlums during the woman's suffrage
parade on Monday. but they ought to
feel humiliated that gentle and refined
women from every State Of the Union,
marching I'D the Avenue in peaceable
protest against political disfranchise-
ment, should have been denied at the
nations Capital the ordinary police
protection to which all American citi-
zens are entitled.
1t was my privilege to march with
my wife In the procession from Capitol
Hill to Seventeenth street. Between
Sixth and Tenth streets the crowd was
So dense that 1t was necessary to march
in single file. go far as I could see,
the hoodlums who jeered at the women
and snatched pennants out Of their
hands were only a small minority OF
the crowd. Nearly all were young men
of the idle, sporting type. Many OF
them were. no doubt, visitors from out
side of Washington, and many OF :hem
had obviously been impibing too freely
in the numerous saloons along the Ave.
nue.. The large majority Of the crowd
was peaceable. and many of the on
lockers cheered the women marchers.
Who is responsible for this shameful
failure to keep the Avenue clear? Pend
ing the Congressional investigation
which has been ordered. the most
charitable explanation Is that the Su.
perintendent Of Police miscalculated the
humber of people, who from motives OF
sympathy or curiosity would crowd Il
see the suffrage parade. The superfn'
tendent. in a statement to the press

The appeal of the pageant was spoiled

remarks were made by men and boys

SAYS Shame Is On Police.

To the Editce OF TIE TINES:
In the minds Of many who witnessed
the conduct Of an active element OF the
avenue crowds. particularly In the
vicinity of Seventh street. the objection
to equal suffrage of both sexes Ia typi-
fed by the open ridicule and coarse wit
ticisms indulged in by the "bums,"
"toughs," and 'ihalf-baked" school boys
who were out to testify to their respect
for women in the home" Through the
collapse Of Major Sylvester's police
protection these surged forward from
the curb in masses, reducing the open
space to a mere passage way in which
at times 1t was necessary to walk two
abreast, while drunken brutes leered in
the faces of the marchers, and even in
some instances sought to lay hands on
them.
Is not such conduct the natural, logi-
cal result of the sort of anti argu-
ment 90 that has been largely indulRed
in by the women and their coadjutors.

those who believe that women should
enjoy equal rights with men under the

they want TO vote? Are jokes and car
toons calculated to inspire anything else
than coarse remarks and even insult in
natures less refined than those who

ness. then, for an opposition still re-

inspire in any element only that which
finds expression In conduct and Ian
guage such as the equal suffrage
marchers experienced all too much dur
ing their passage down the avenue.
In the failure Of the city government
to furnish such adequate police service
as would guard the marchers from even
an approach to what they actually ex-
perienced at the hands of .he rowdy ele-

had d right TO expect. The shame Is
one resting upon every resident Of the
Capital, but especially upon the Police
Department, and those responsible for

have been permitted to be dealt with
