BORLAND JOINS IN
STUNNING CRUSADE
Missouri Congressman Makes
inspection Tour Of Hidden
Streets of Capital.

Congressman William P. Borland of
Missouri is the latest recruit in the slum-
ming crusade poppularlzed by Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Archibald
Hopkins.
Under the guidance Of Mrs Hopkins,
Mr.. Borland today made an automobile
trip through some Of Washington's nd
den streets which Mrs. Wilson, Mrs.
Hopkins, and many other persons proml-
nent In Washington are seeking 10
abolish.
of the District Committee OF the House
AS such, he has keen interest In
Washington affairs, and II Is expected
he will be one of the strongest advo-
Gates of the alley elimination project
Senator Pomerene Of Ohio, who has
been suggested as the man to present
the Snow court and Goat alley bills In
the Senate. declared today that he is
greatly interested In any proposition to
ameliorate the condition of the slum
dwellers. and that he stands ready to
present the two bills to the Senate. II
they prove to be what he expects from
a brief examination. These bills already
have been introduced in the House by
Congressman Kahn. They propose the
conversion of the two alleys into parks,
and will serve, IL is believed, as a basis
for general elimination scheme.
Unless unanimous consent can be OBJ
tanned for their consideration, the Kahn
bills for the condemnation of Goat alley
and Shows court, which were intro
duced in the House yesterday, will not
be considered at the present session.
1t Is the present plan of the House
leaders not to attempt any general leg
islation at the extra session. The Kahn
bills may be placed on the calendar
after the House committees are named,
but the prospects are they will rest
there until the regular session. begin
ming in December. House leaders fear
to open up a floor of legislation now,
and this session Is apt to be confined
to currency legislation. the tariff, and
the work of committees.
There is a chance that the Senate will
pass bills similar to the Kahn measures
and that unanimous consent may be OBJ
tanned to take them from the Speak
er's table for prompt action. Other
wise, the alley crusade will not be
aided for the present by Congress.

ANTI-WOMAN SUFFRA-
GISTS SAY
"Women Do Not Want
to Vote.

Should all men be disfran-
chised because some men do
not want to vote?" Or should all
women remain unenfranchised
because Anti-Woman Suffragists
say they "do not want to vote??"
Women in equal suffrage
states vote in the same proper
ton as men.
In 1895 the Opponents of Equal Suf-
frage in Massachusetts, had an amend
ment passed providing for straw vote
to ascertain the wishes of the women.
Knowing that straw votes do not count,
the Suffragists did not urge the women
to vote. In spite of this the women who
did vote favored equal suffrage Is to l.
More and larger petitions have been
sent to legislative bodies, asking for
votes for women than any other single
matter in the history of this country.
