AGAIN, THE SUFFRAGE PARADE.

Photographs which were taken while the suffrage
parade was in progress Monday afternoon should be
introduced as evidence to sustain the now universal
belief that the police arrangements for tnat occasion
were deliberately neglected with direct purpose to
make the affair failure.
Taken in several cases from the copings of tall
buildings fronting on Pennsylvania avenue, these
photographs give vista of the thoroughfare that
absolutely disproves the Sylvester theory nat there
were too many people to be managed.
The best possible exhibit is produced by conn.,
pairing the photographs made on Monday with those
made from the same points on Tuesday.
The Monday pictures show the Avenue for block
After block, jammed with people, while back of these
the sidewalks were almost vacant.
The people we're in the street, where they had
no business to be. The sidewalks where the people
should have been, were vacant
Tuesdays pictures reverse this. The Avenue be-
tween the curb lines was absolutely cleared.
The sidewalks were packed with humanity from
curb to building line.
The pictures make plain that the Monday throngs
were not so large as those of Tuesday But on
Tuesday they were kept in the place where they be-
longed. because an effort was made to keep them
there. On Monday tney were not kept where they
belonged because no effort was made to keep them
there
The real question that demands attention by the
official and other investigators in this conection has
do with intent. Was the Monday parade deliberate
Iy neglected because there was the wish that it
should be failure?
On this point testimony has come from so many
quarters, there is much of corroborative crcum-
stance and the belief of the community is so nearly
unanimous, that the police authorities are going to
stand convicted of deliberate, purposefu malicious
neglect unless they clear themselves.
This is not case in which the accused is to be
regarded as innocent till his guilt is proved The
reverse is true. Half million people saw what
they regard as conclusive evidence and they are not
TO be coaxed into repudiating their own eyes and
ears

MRS. LETTERS DEATH.

The death of Mrs Levi z. Letter is mourned to-
day by wide circle of friends, and by thousands
who, though they did not know her. were familiar
with the good works to which much of her time,
fortune, and great capacity for leadership were de-
voted.
Mrs. Letters Social prestige in Washington was
large force in the organzatonof the Capital City
society the lines that have made this city unique
and distinctive. The delightful Letter home was a
meeting place of elements intellectual cultured and
in the truest sense superior. There centered many
unostentatious works of charity and bene6cence
which found their inspiration in the broad sympates
and humanity of Mrs. Letter. There was dispensed
a true hospitality which in no small measure became
the ideal and the aspiration of social Washington.

A WORD OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

1t is timely to make acknowledgment to one
friend of suffrage who, quite without intent,
has done recently very signal service to the cause
This particular friend will probably experience
difficulty garnering the tokens OF appreciation to
which he is entitled He is not, at the moment,
popular with the ladies-not very. 1t will take
long time for them to arrive at full realization ii
the great service he has done to their movement
Yet he has probably helped the woman suffrage
cause more in America than the bomb throwing, mail
destroying miltants have injured it in England.
Reference is had, of course, to Major Richard
Sylvester, altogether too long chief of Washington
police.

Woman's Loyalty to

readily welcomed by the fair sex
Formerly the idea Of loyalty seemed to
be one recognized only a. from man to

With the early instructive training Of
the small boy to be up in arms for his

faithfulness to his sex was one EN-

Yet now the loyal woman beGins her

much deTotion. In the schools the
formation of clubs, in the colleges the
class spirit. and IN the activities Of life.
where philanthropie clubs and oryan-
nations are the rule, no one may gain
say that woman Is beginning to un-
derstand her own kind more and more.
II her organizations are established

are evidenced. and are becoming pro-
verbal.
Many times women in this growing
age have had to fight against great
odds. Yet, having learned the lesson
that .'in union there Is strength" they
have gained their strength accordingly.
II is wise indeed. For the days Of
grandmother are gone. when woman de-
pended upon man for laws and legisla
tion and other stepping stones to HER
betterment. Today she Is in the actual
practice Of getting that betterment
HERSELF. and she has strong sisters
to help her.
The petty jealousies that have SEEM
ingiy marked and. perchance, hindered
the progress of women are being swept
aside in the face of the real issues

an at. all times is one Of the great eie-
ments in the forward movement today

JUST A MILD SUSPICION.

II is modestly suspected that the dear old theory
about Washington having tine ideal municipal gov
ernment about the people being better off and the
government better because there is no ballot here
will have to be Withdrawn temporarily from circula-
ton.
With it, we guess, will 60 that other cheerful sug-
gestion recently promulgated high authority that
about the only possible improvement in the system
would be to have the executive heads appointed for
life instead of for limited terms.

pardoning felons are equally important. Eight
amendments were carried on town meeting day, and
this sweeping change shows that the people favor

these amendments But quite as expressive Of the
humane note in affairs are the laws in Vermont
that limit working of women and children to fifty

Legislative Page Objected to
Attentions to His
Sister

Cambridge, Mass, April lS.-Willian
j. Rounds, jr., 10 years old, page in the
House of Representatives and son OF
former State Senator William j. Round:
of this city, was arrested early yester'
day morning, charged with assault and
battery upon Herbert b. Larner, 10 years
old, pupil at the Cambridge high and
Latin school. Larner is at the Fenway
hospital with knife wounds in his stom-
ach, shoulder, thigh, neck and ear, and
mis- injuries were said to be so severe that
be might not survive.
Young Rounds and Larner engaged in
fist fight at the foot OF Pearl street
Wednesday night by agreement, because
the latter did not obey instructions to
discontinue attention to Rounds sister,
Lillian, 20 years old, also a pupil at the
high school.
Rounds is alleged to have been getting
the worst of the fistic battle and to have
pulled out a penknife with which he at
tackled his opponent. Larner defended
himself as best he could until he became
so weak from loss of blood that he
dropped. The encounter was witnessed
by Lillian Rounds, her sister Fannie and
Bervl Grogan, daughter of the late Rich
ard Grogan, for the alleged murder OF
whom Prof. Charles Eastman was tried
and acquitted some years ago.
After Larner fell, Rounds and Fannie
went home and the other two girls
dragged Iarner to the Grogan girls
home. DIR. w. J. Dwyer was called and,
seeing the boys serious condition, called
in DR.. w. p. Derby to assist him. Nurses
were also sent for. Some one had seen
the fight and telephoned the police, but
when the ambulance got to the scene
nobody could be found. About two hours
later, when two patrolmen went to the
Grogan home on another matter, they
learned of the affair and young Rounds
was arrested at his home. His father |
bailed him out.
Lillian Rounds was covered with blood. |
and sending for another dress, remained |
with Larner until he was taken to the /
hospital. Larner is the son of Marshall |
Larner, a furrier.

COOK AND WARD"
WELCOME DIVORCE
Wife to Give Ex-Pastor Chance to Wed
Miss Whaley-Desertion Also
Charged.

New York, April ls.-Jere Knode
Cooke, the former pastor of fashionable
st. Georges Episcopal church OF Hemp
stead, L. L., who eloped six years ago
with his H-year-old ward Floretta
Whaley, has been served with papers in
suit for divorce. begun by his wife,
Mrs. Marinda Clarke Cooke. Mrs. Cooke
lives in Hartford, Conn. A Hartford con-
stable handed the former clergyman the
papers at the house in Brooklyn, where
! the couple are living with their two chill
dren.
Both the clippers expressed gratifica-
ton that the suit. which is expected to
give Cooke his freedom, had been be-
gun. Miss Whaley is named as core
spondent. and desertion also is charged.
Cooke and his ward fled from Hemp
stead of April 80, 1907, going to st. Louis
and later to Los Angeles, San Diego and
San Francisco. A year later Cooke sent
word to friends here that he would re-
turn, but it was last May before he did
so, establishing home in Brooklyn,
where he obtained employment as a
painter and decorator.
