Workers for the Cause in Cold
Spring Harbor Rise Superior
TO amt" Trick.

Suffrage driven out Of the Fire De-
partnent house. took refuge in stable
Yesterday afternoon at Cold Spring Har-
Dor.
General" Rosalic Jones occupied the
platform, which was really feedboN
drarcd with horse blankets. Suffrage
nags and horse blankets huns from the
raftcrs.
The horses themselves. which have
looked askance at the cause since the
demise of Lausanne, the horse that leo
rhe march on Washington last spring
were all presented with yellow rosettes
by the suffragists before the meeting be
gan. Therefore being gentlemen they
agreed not TO disturb the ladies. only now
and then. when Colonel Ida Craft grew
TOO outspoken in her condemnation of the
males of Cold Spring. Pete, who carried
the village president in the Fourth OF
July parade, interrupted with cynical
neigh.
Feeling ran high. There is no doubt
Of that
Friends" said General" Resale from
the feed box, this meeting is called to
protest against the action of the Fire Dc
partment Of this town, which gave us per
mission TO hold a meeting in the fire en-
cine house this afternoon and last night
rescindod that, permission without cause
] move IN investigation OF the Fire De
partment."
According 10 the suffragists, permission
Was given them d week ago 10 hold q SEES
siou Of the Votes -fcr-wOmen' school IN
the fire engine house on Sunday after
noon. Secure i'm that promise General
RosaIie went happily off TO the suffrage
convention at Washington. When she re-
turned on Saturday afternoon she was
greeted by excited suffragists, who IN
formed her that the meeting had been
called off
"Ha 20 said the general; "our friends
the ants"
She betook herself TO her telephone and
called up friend, who was at once an
anti" anu the wife of one or the Fire
Department officials.
"Reen using a little of that silent in
fuence of yours, haven't you?' she asked
The anti" admitted that she had been
doing a little talking and that she guessed
she rad proved she could make her wishes
known without a vote.
General" Rosalic wouldn't be stopped
bv one proof Of the fallacy of her princl-
pIes. She went out and canvassed the
town until she found q friend TO the
''cause" in the owner Of the livery stable
William Pappen. Mr.. Pappen consented
20 the suffragists holding a meeting IN
his stable provided they would do all the
work. They agreed, and set to work al
once 10 drag all the wagons out into the
ward Then they found old boxes and
trunks jn the loft These were arranged
in rows in front Of the feed box. and over
all they draped everything they could
find in the way of blankets and fur rugs.
1T looks for all the world like studio
said the general" proudly surveying her
handiwork.
Flushed with the enthusiasm Of her
victory and the authority conferred upon
her by the assembled suffragists Of Cold
Spring Harbor TO investigate the Fire De-
partment Of her native town General
Resale will continue this week the itin-
Grant suffrage school which started on
