TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 1s.-Headed
by DR.. Anna Shaw, two thousand suf-
fragettes waving flags and flashing
streamers bearing the words votes
for women, literally took possession
Of the state house here today.
Their energies were directed par

It overfowed the legislative hall,
packed the corridors and threatened
to engulf the offices Of Governor VIII

For several days Governor Wilson's
'open door" policy has been suspend
ed, to allow the combination COVER
nor and president-elec. to attend to
his double duties without unneces-
sary interruption. The suspension Of
policy was enforced with special rigor
today and the suffragettes therefore
did not ge. into the executive cham
Der. The surging crusaders, however,
were so numerous that had the door
been open as usual, Governor Will
sons offices would have been over
run.
Governor Wilson came to Trenton
at his usual hour and to get into the
building he had to struggle through
| the crowd OF suffragettes who were
just then flowing into the capitol. As

coat and hat, he took a stenographer
and slipped up stairs, to dictate let

The assembly galleries were pack

The decision of the railroad mana

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-While the
United States, still adopting peace
full attitude, was nevertheless prepar-
ing for possible war, uncensored de-
suatches from Mexico City gave Of
hcials hope that General Diaz would
shortly control the capital.
The dispatches were from Ambas-
sador Wilson-the first uncapsored
news Of actual lighting to leak out Of
the beleagured city since Sunday
night.
Yesterday morning the ambassador
J, reported a continuous conflict during
the day and part OF the night and the
engagement closed with Diaz advanc-
ing steadily. Wilson said apparently
Diaz would soon have full control OF
the residential part OF the city.
Last night federal troops were retir-
Ing from all exposed points into the
palace, now in command OF General
Banquet.
Fierce lighting with enormous
casualties and great damage to the
city marked the battle, Wilson said.
The American embassy was again and
again In line OF fire and many spent
bullets struck the building, none how
ever doing material damage.
Many dead and wounded, mostly
federals, Uttered the streets in front
OF the embassy, the ambassador de-
clared. What damage has been done
70 the federals' stronghold, he said,
ne had been unable to ascertain, al
though the firing was the heaviest OF
the eight days battle SO far.
From Vera Cruz, dispatch from
General Canada was received at noon,
telling Of the influx OF Americans and
other foreign refugees from Mexico

consul general has organized relief
committee, which has by personal
subscription raised money enough to
teed the refurees for two days long
er. An effort is being made to find
temporary quarters but there is much
congestion and suffering.
The refugees brought with them
stories of hardship and suffering
which they had experienced during
1he reign of terror In Mexico City and
declared that the termination of the
armistice on Sunday alone prevented
hundreds more from fleeing.
