MRS. BELMONT TAKEN TO TASK
S SufIraEi,t Criticised for Statements
In Regard to Marriage.

New York. Jan. 3-More than 200 suf-
fragist leaders and a squad of prominent
antIs sat with bated breath at the Re-
publican Club this afternoon as Mrs. o.
II. p. Belmont was taken to task for a
statement in which she was said to have
advised girls not to give up a good posi-
ton to marry.
The meeting. which had been an open
discussion of the suffrage question. was
nearing its close when Mrs. James Lee
Laidlaw jumped to her feet and demand
ed that Miss Alice Chittenden tell to
whom she referred when she said In her
appeal that a suffragist was instilling the
nonmarriage idea into the minds OF
young girls.
THE lady is present and can answer
that question for herself" replied Miss
Chittenden, looking seemingly across the
speakers table at Mrs. Belmont.
Il never made such statement"
cried Mrs. Belmont. rising angrily to- her
feet. 'T have never advised girls not to
marry"
But I am sure ! read somewhere that
you said So retorted Miss Chittenden.
well. I am not responsible for every
thing one reads about me-" said Mrs.
Belmont.
But what I do believe" she contin-
ued, still glaring at her accuser, SIS that
young women who are earning a good
salary should not necessarily give up
their jobs when they marry. Why
shouldn't she contribute her share to-
ward the support of the household the
same as Is done in Europe"
At this point Edward Kellogg Byrd.

with a pronouncement of adjournment.

stablishnent of an international
Bureau Being Considered.

New York, Jan. Gan international
weather bureau by which it would be
possible to make weather forecasts six
months or a year ahead is now under
consideration by the Carnegie Founda-
ton. An endowment of S5,O00,0O0 would
be necessary to start the bureau.
Prof. Henry Helm Clayton, the noted
meteorogilist, is the chief sponsor of the
plan. He said to-day that the plan had
been laid before the Carnegie Founda-
ton and II had been well received,
though no definite promise of the en-
dowment had yet been given.
1T is the dream of the weather man
ultimately to make accurate weather
forecasts for a year." said Prof. Clayton.
This could not be done in the United
States, for instance, solely on data that
could be gathered within the boundaries
of this country. Information gathering
stations would have to be established
in the remotest places of the earth to
furnish data to all countries. The in
stitution would have a quasi-government
relation similar 10 the Red Cross So
ciety.''

railroads; of means whereby the pro-
jected Grand Trunk extension in New
England may be completed; tunnels
and electriication for steam railroads

gested by their conference considered

GARMENT STRIKE NEAR END.
Prospects for Settlement During
Week Are Bright.

New York, Jan. 25.-The prospects
for settlement OF the garment work
ers' strike next week were deemed
brighter tonight when union repre-
sentatives met the manufacturers in
conference and indicated their willing
ness to agree to the terms of settle
ment proposed by the Chamber OF Com
merce, which the manufacturers favor.
These terms provide for a graduated
increase in wages and a 52-hour week.
There are minor demands which the
strikers declare the employers will
have to meet, however.
There was less disordsr to-day than
on any day since the workers walked
out four weeks ago. Fewer than a
score of arrests were made, and there
were no serious outbreaks.

ICE TREATMENT SAVES
TREES FROM ILL EFFECTS
OF SUMMERY WEATHER

VIII p Thomas believes the ''ice treat
ment" has saved his fruit trees from
premature budding this winter. When
other farmers near his. place discovered
the balminess was starting the buds on
their trees, Thomas hustled of to town
and invested in about a ton of ice. He
packed and salted a pile around the base
of each bearing tree in his orchard. re-
newing it as the ice melted away. AS a
result, none of the trees showed any
signs OF budding. The '.ice treatment"
was continued over two days of the
''summery" weather. Thomas got his
idea by noting that California citrus
growers built fires for frost protection.
