CONGRESSM[N SPAR
OVER AMENDMENT
TO GIVE SUFFRAGE
Women Advocates and Ants Of
Both Sexes Go to War in
House Hearing.

Woman suffragists and anti-suffragists
of the male and female species went to
war over the French constitutional
amendment giving the Federal fran
chise to women at the hearing before
the House Committee on Elections last
night. Congressman Rucker of Colorado
and Hobson Of Alabama upheld the suf-
frasists, aided by the Rev. Olympia
Brown, of Racine. WIS.,, and Mrs. Clara
NJ. Colby, secretary of the Federated
Women's Equality League.
Congressman Harrison of Mississippi
and Tribble of Georgia lined themselves
against the program and were aided by
Miss Minnie Bronson, of New York, sec
retary of the National League Opposed
to Woman Suffrage
The first row of the evening came fol-
lowing a demonstration of numerical
strength by the suffragists. The ants
were challenged to raise their hands
The suffragists then showed that they
outnumbered their opponents by about
four to one. Congressman Tribble
moved that the hand-raising episode be
expunged from the record and Congress-
man Hobson made a point of order
against it.
The two Congressman were warming
up to joint debate when Mrs. Colby.
who had suggested the demonstration,
asked leave to withdraw it from the
record. This was done and the two
Congressman spent the remainder of the
evening sparring with each other.
When Congressman Rucker of Color
ado began his speech he attacked the
false pride of men, and began a phiIo-
sophical discussion of the condition Of
Adam and Eve. He had gradually
worked around to the serpent when
Congressman Harrison interrupted
I'D like to ask Congressman Rucker
a question when he gets through with
that" said he.

winters which In past centuries brought

@Not at ALL Sir but think you would have done the
thing yourself in my place
"But have just told you | wouldn't. You must re-
tract your words and apologize Do you understand,
Sir? Apologize at once!"
To our amazement, McAlisters face took on
preston of logged ness he answered with dignity
and yet with the utmost courtesy There is nothing
whatever in my words to give ofense, Mr.. Donovan.
As there intention Of offending there is no occa
sion for an apology Since what said was true, am
unable to withdraw it.
"By Cad, Sir" he retorted, and if Donovan not
really furious he certainly looked to the rest Of us
but the president, who ought to have stopped
the controversy the very beginning here nterposed
his authority and brought the to order. The
meal was finished in graveyard silence, as you may
suppose.
That evening formal challenge sent by Dono-
van and Immediately accepted by McAllister. The
necessary prelminaries were arranged for meeting
next day To my surprise, Donovan sent me message
to the effect that he would like on hand TO help
keep off any crowd" Hoping that l might be able to
put end to this foolish business, at the last
moment, l consented gladly.
McAliser spent the evening writing letters to his
mother and sweetheart, if he had as take 1T tor
endeavoring to induce him to retrac his unind strict
ures McAllster; but he obdurate | could do
nothing with him. McAllister naturally could not
back out
A T dawn next morning pulled ashore to the sandy
beach that lies east of the town. Besides the princ
pals the seconds and an assistant surgeon that
practically all the gang along ostensbly for the
purpose myself. good site for the duel had
been found and prettier spot for coy picnic cannot
be conceived. To right, couple of miles distant
lay the city of Coqumbo nesting against the hills that
protect it from the Pacific Ocean, its buildings Of vary
ing tints bahed in the soft, early light Beyond the
smoke hung dark and menacng the smeters of San
Rosario the discordant feature in the quiet
full landscape Farms and orchards stretched away to
the south, while in the east the picturesque old
town of La Serena with the lofty, snowtpped peaks Of
the Andes towering above it in the far distance. Above
this Jagged skyline the suns disk beginning to peep
We stood lovely green sward and were fairly well
concealed by algarroba trees and palms from the
highway between Coquimbo and La Serena, which,
avoiding the beach where had landed, some
little distance inland 1t seemed to pity to violate
the sanctty of charming and restul nook but you
know how it is when the passions aroused nothing
is then sacred.
Both while going ashore in the boat and after had
reached the spot selected for the duel, strove with
Donovan and the two seconds hoping that adjust
might be reached that would be honorable to the
principals; but my pleading fell deaf had
only the satisfaction of having done my best peace
maker Donovan insisted that blood alone would wipe
the afront and of the first concession must
come from him.
The distance, twenty yards, was paced off by the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-05-11

"Are you ready, Gentlemen continued Jones.
Donovan answered at once in the affirmative; but
McAster who seemed at the question to awaken from
deep sleep and suddenly to realize the situation, said
in apologize tone but with sign of trepidation
"Im very sorry to give trouble; but was thinking
of certain matters, here he hesitated moment "at
home-and did not notice what going |
didn't the pistols loaded and as am sure OF these
pistols only when load them myself, hope you'll
little delay | ought to have spoken sooner,
know; but it is not too late yet
With that and before anyone could reply, he dis
charged his weapon into the bay and cooy reloaded it
with powder, bullet and cap he had. unknown to
his second, brought ashore with him IN his pockets.
The operation watched with breathless interest by
all. merely surprised for such procedure was
without precedent and wholly irregular in duelng prac
tice and wondered the silence of his second in per-
hitting it; but look of horror had come the
faces of the others which did not understand and
shall never forget.
The spell was broken by McAllister's clearly and
firmly uttered Il am ready.
PUT with that Donovan threw his pistol on the ground
= and rushed toward McAllister, exclaming ~You
are brave man, McAlister honor you. And SO do
all, and we all beg your pardon for the joke we
thought to play you The pistols loaded only
with bread balls and neither of would have been hurt
if hit Please forgive if you like take shot at
me, anyhow deserve to be winged If not killed-and
I'll be hanged if bring myself to fire back at the
cred again on board the Ossawatomie. l say, Nc
Allister be good chap and forget all this chds fool
ishness We only in fun.
For a few moments McAllister's face deathly
stood speeches.; but all the gang toward him,
holding their hands grasping his in spite of his
efforts to the contrary and telling him how spendidly
he had behaved in the trying situation he gradually
regained his self possession say deliberately but with
cutting emphasis:
aOf all the wicked and cruel things heard of,
this is easily the worst. | can't imagine any man get
ting down low and then quaint smile appeared at
the of his mouth he added "but you're Just
boy babies, suppose am sure OF this however that
you're the biggest idiots in the navy.
you're dead right, McAllster," the gang agreed,
@and need kicking. Begin now, if you feel like it:
we're all ready"
3If l thought kicking would do you any good I'd
begin with JONES' but it's you are too far gone
in your foolish inquity. Give me time Fellows and
may be able to forgive you andforget this but can't
do so Just yet
Here Donovan and his second picked him up not
withstanding his protests and struggles, and carried
him to the boat their shoulders By the time got
alongside the ship all chatting quite amiably, al
most as if nothing untoward had occurred; but genu
inc of admiration and affection evident in
whatever addressed to the hero of the OCCASION for
he did not fight it, McAister had certainly
his first and only duel.
