Progressive Republicans to
Urge National Committee
to Aid Reorganization

Especial Dispatch to The CalIl
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The next
step in the movement to bring about
reorganization of the republican party
will be to urge the executive commit
tee of the republican national commit
tee, which meets here next week, to
call meeting of the full committee.
This was stated by Senator Cum
Minis, who with Senators Kenyon,
Borah and others, returned today to
Washington from Chicago. where they
attended the conference of progressive
republicans.
That the executive committee will
see the wisdom of having the national
committee meet Is the hope and belief
of Senator Cummins. Petitions and
letters will be brought to bear by re-
publicans In various states on the ma
tional committeeman to get them to
call a national convention.
Senator Cummins said today he was
much pleased over the spirit shown at
the conference and that he believed
important results would follow.
Senator Cummins received letter
today from one OF the foremost re-
publicans. leader close to Taft in the
last campaign. who said he be-
lieved the national committee had
authority to make any changes In
rules demanded by the progressive re-
publicans.
That Is new view to me-" said
Senator Cummins II have written
him asking him to give his reasons
for his position

they belong, is the substantive an

the house today to suggestions from
Senator Cummins and others that the
republican party can be reorganized
and purified from within
Representative Hinebaugh, one OF
the new party's leaders in the house,
today issued signed statement re-
nectlng upon the views of his col
leagues, In which he frowns upon the
Cummins-kenyon program for a re-
organization of the c. O. p Hine-
baugh says IL the republican national

tion.
The Hinebaugh statement was issued
with the return to the city of Senator
Cummins and other progressive re-
publicans who attended the Chicago
conferences. The senator said he was
much encouraged over the outlook
and that efforts would be made to
persuade the executive COMMITTEES to
insist upon meeting OF the national
committee, party convintion being
the end sought. AS soon as he heard
of the optimism of the Iowa senator
and his. colleagues, Representative
Hinebaugh dashed off statement
which says in effect that the bull
moose party Is unrepentant and there
will be no reconciliation unless re-
publicans are willing to exchange
their party labels for the bull moose
brand.

AND AUGUST MAY SEE 1T
All this and more may happen any
time after July II the board Of super
visors ga1lantly grants the earnest re-
auest made yesterday by Mrs. Lillian
Harris Coffin. president of the New Ere
club. and others. who said they repre-
sented the sentiments OF about 5000
women Of the city.
The supervisors met in special ses-
sion with Mayor Rolph to consider all
requests and protests In regard to the
budget for the next fiscal year. Mrs.
Collins plea was one of the first con-
sidered and taken under advisement-
AS president OF the New Era club she
asked that an appropriation Of $4,000
be allowed for three policewomen, or
rather. women protective officers.
I'VE are asking for three not be-
ca use we believe only that number is
needed. but rather because we wish
to make a modest beginning. We feel
that three women protective officers
will be an object lesson to the public,
and hope in time that there will be a
large number on the force.
WILL PREVENT CRIME
They will not only protect persons
against crime, but will serve to pre-
vent it. and will give special atten-
ton to women and minors. I speak
not only for the New Era club. but for
many other women's organizations and
represent the sentiment of at least
5000 women. feel sure that the po-
lice commission will initiate the neces-
sary legislation, If this appropriation
is granted. to make the employment of
women on the force possible
Miss Mary Fairbrother. president of
the women's Political league. said that
she indorsed all that Mrs Coffin said
and urged the appointment of the po-
licewomen, maintaining that the need
of them was most urgent
The supervisors did not comment
upon the request as all argument on
the budget matters will be taken up
at later date. Miss Fairbrother also
urged the appointment Of a woman
assistant district attorney at 5000 a
year.
