 Presentation of TabIeau%-
 The tableaux on the steps of the treasury building, framed in the great columns and the broad stairway of the government treasury house, were be- gun when the parade started from it's rendezvous at the base of the capital. Beautiful in color1ng and grouping, the dramatic syInbolization of WOmen's as- pirations for political freedom was completed long before the head of the parade was in sight In their thin dresses and bare arms, the perform CTS waited. shiverinE. for more than an hour, until finally they were forced to seek refuge within the big build ing.
 Cavalry Greeted with Applause by Law
 Abiding.
 Around the treasury department the crowds were seemingly immOvable. 1t was as though the bluecoats charged a stone wall Occasionally the mob gave way in one place, only to break ever and under the wire hedge at some other.
 When the cavalry suddenly appeared there was a wild outourst of applause n the reviewing stand. The men in brown virtually brushed aside the 2,ounted and foot police and took Troopers Charge Upon Mohs.
 In two lines the troop charged tho crowds. Evidently realizing they would be ridden down the mobs fought their way back. When they hesftated, the cavalrymen, under the orders of their officers, did not hesitate. Their horses were driven into the throngs and whirIed and wheeled until hoOting men and women were forced to retreat. A space was quickly cleared.
 The parade in itself. In spite of the delay, was a great success. Passing through two walls of antagonistic hu rnartty, the marchers for the most part kept their temper. They suffered in suit and closed their ears to tibes and Jeers.
 Resolution to WiiseAs The greatest ovation probably Waa given to General RoHalie Jonea. who led her little band of -hikers' from New York over rough roads and through; snow and rain to march for the "cause.' General Jones was radiant She carried a great bunch Oe American Beauty roses which made e splash of scarlet against the dull brown of her hooded trampfng gown, When the women assembled tn Con- t1uentaI hall the first resolution adopt ed, to be presented to President W1i- son after his inauguration tomorrow called on him to demand Of congress a thorough investigation of the causes for the poor police protection which would have been a disgrace to any city, but which was doubly so here' with a further demand that the re- sponsibIe authorities be punished for their indifference and negligence.
 Dr. Shaw Ashamed of Washington
 The opening address by Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National Amer ican Wonan's Suffrage association was a bitter excoriation of the police
 Never was I go ashamed of our national capital before" she said "If anythtng could prove the need of the ballot nothing could prove ie more than the treatment we received today The women in the parade showed won derful dignity and self respect by keep ing cool In the midst of insult and lewd remarks. Hoodluns were given possession of the streets hare today without any adequate attempt being made to protect us."
