SUFFRAGE BAND
Miss Phoebe Hawn Due to Re-
ceive Proposal Every
Day Of "Hike."
TAKE REST In TRENTON
Only Ten Marchers in Line and Soon
will Be Nine, Says One Foot
sore Woman.

Trenton, y. J., Feb I-After twenty
seven miles in arctic weather and over
frozen roads to-day the ten-mfle hike
from Princeton to Trenton on the table,
like Trenton turnpike and under ideal
climatic circumstances was a mere snap
of the fingers for Rosalie Jones and her
rampant suffra gettes.
All sorts. s'f things happened to make
the trip to-day memorable. The pilgrims
were escorted out of town by the Prince
ton students and hand. They called
upon President-elect Wilson, and left q
nate when tifey found that he had gone
10 Philadelphia to have a tooth filed:
they harranGued the Lawrenceville
schpolboys, and walked bravely through
the most antagchistic territory in New
Jersey smiling defiantly.
Besides all this, 4 romance developed
1t was a sorry romance-a bit unpleasant
for the suffragette end of IT. but 4 ro-
nance none the less. Phoebe Hawn- 1f
Brooklyn, and one of the prettiest sur
fragists IMAGINABLE. created a furor0
among the Princeton students by ner
speech OF last night.
To Propose Once "a Day.
To-day W. w. Gator. of Baltimore,
Princeton freshman. Joined the hike. AMI
before he had reached Lawrenceville ne
had proposed tc Miss Hawn. Very diplo-
Inaticaliy Miss Hawn held tho matter
under advisement ard biushingly denied
that Gator had hscame sentimental But
it deveIoped-and Gator refused TO deny
it-that he is an applicant for member
ship in 4 Princeton fraternity. One OF
the initiation features was that he was
TO walk as far as Miss Hawn does and
also propose 10 her at least orce a day
The mixers left Princeton at 10 o'clock.
arriving in Lawrenceville two hours
Later Here the schoolboyS were regaled
with speeches. and in return stole Eliza
beth Freeman's suffrage wagon. with
Emmeline til. roam mare. in the shafts.
Miss Freeman stopped talking when she
saw EmmeIine and the yellow wagon
disapDcarinc down the road and gave
chase She paused just long enough to
hurl a cup of cocoa at a newspaper cor
respondent, who laughed, and finally
captured Emmclinc.
At LawrenceviIe the little band was
met officially by a committee of one sui
fragette. Miss II. NJ. Wallace. They
were entertained for few moments at
Lawrence Lodge, where cocoa and sponge
cake was served. During the rest II
was discovered that Minerva Crowcll.
one of the mixers, was missing Seach-
ing parties organized. and Miss. Gro
we'll was found sitting on a fence four
miles in the rear. She declared herself
recovered and walked to Trenton.
Among the Princeton students to ac-
company the marchers to-day was J.
EasSett Garmany. a well-set-up young
man. the son of Dr. Garmany, OF New
York. who is Andrew Carnegie's per-
sonal physician.
1t so happens that although the suf
frage movement IN this country had its
inception in the cerritory covered to-day.
iStF fl n
istic TO the cause now. Crowds of school
children followed the hikers into Tren-
ton. hooting, and there was n continual
scattering fire of alleged witticisms from
second-story windows. Several gangs OF
corner loungers took up the hooting OF
the women and children as the little
band was entering Trenton, and once
trouble looked to be certain. Policeman
Walters. of Trenton. and two detectives
appeared in the nick of time.
Now Ten Hikers.
There are now but ten actual hikers.
rhey are Gen. Jones. Col. Ida Craft, Mrs.
Eiizabsth Aldrich. Miss Augusta Righ-
ter. Ms. John Boldt. Mrs. Olive Shultz.
Mrs George Wend. Miss Martha Klats-
chen. Miss Elizabeth Freeman. and Miss
Minerva Crowell. At least three of these
are due to retire before Philadelphia Is
reached. Miss klatschen was all but
overcome to-day. but she clung on
gamely.
So enthuseG vas Mrs. BcIdt by the
reception accorded her last night by the
Princeton men that she returned to the
town tonight to auction on her suffrage
cape for the benefit of the Princeton
Press Club. She denies absolutely that
she was roughly handled by the students
last night, and the college professor is |
sued the same denial.
The note left by the suffrasettes at
President-elect Wilson's house before |
leaving Trenton was follows: |
