fifth annual convention of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION got fully under way here
today with DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
presiding over an assembly of nearly
1000 delegates from all States of the
union. The gavel fell in the women's
convention at the same time Vice
President Marshal and Speaker
Clark were calling to order on Capitol
Hill, a congress which the suffra-
gists expect to do much for their
cause.
A constitutional amendment ex-
tending the ballot to women through
out the nation is the goal for which
week of meetings, speeches and
hearings before committees of Con-
gress will work. Addresses of well
come and reports of officers and COM
mittees took up the time of the first
session today.
The women of the South want to
vote, declared Mrs. Pattie Jacobs, of
Birmingham, Ala. in her address to-
day. Mrs. Jacobs called herself "a
living refutation of the charge that
has been made in no less place
than the halls OF Congress that the
womanhood of the South does not
want the suffrage It is an indict-
ment," she said, "of the Southern
woman's intelligence which I resent.
Nor is my position unique, original

In Special Affidavit
Blind Man Will Swear
He Was Witness to Will

Stricken blind since he witnessed
the will of Sarah A. Totten in 1897,
John H. Doremus, of Passaic, will be
unable to prove the will in the usual
way. A special form of affidavit,
based on a similar case in this coun-
ty nearly a century ago, will be pre-
pared by Owen A. Hanretty, of the
surrogate's office, who will then go to
Ps ysaic to have 1t sworn to by Dore-
mus.
The handwriting will be used to
prove the instrument as the one he
signed. The other witness, Leonard
l.. Grear, of East Orange, has died
since. Soon after the will was made
Doremus, then a man of about thirty
enlisted and fought in the Spanish
American War. During the campaign
he was a victim Of fever and the
blindness resulted.
Mrs. Totten, who moved TO New
ark later, died on November 1. Her
will leaves everything to her three
children, John o. Totten, Emma s.
Drummond and Harriet M. Hance. A
codicil to the will dated March 81,
1911, makes Mrs. Drummond and c.
Rowland Munroe. of this city, CO.
executors with John o. Totten, named
in the will proper. Mrs. Catherine
Parker and her husband, Henry
Parker, of Cherrydale, Va, are the
witnesses of the codicil. Mrs. Parker
iourneyed here today to prove the
codicil. The will has not yet been ad-
mitted to probate.

SHORT DEMAND
1000. Men Will Quit Looms at 5

Out Tomorrow.
IspeciaI to the Newark start


PATERSON, Dec. lin their fight
for a nine-hour day, 1000 ribbon
weavers plan to leave their looms
at 5 o'clock this afternoon, thereby
reducing their workday OF their own
Yolition.
The crucial moment of their strike
will come tomorrow morning, when
they attempt to return to work. If
they are locked out a general weav-
ers' strike will probably be declared.
If, on the other hand, the manufac-
turers allow them to return, they will
quit again tomorrow night at 5
o'clock, after working only nine
hours. The manufacturers will allow
them to return tomorrow only on
their promise to work until 8 o'clock
or later
The probability is that the big OPP
orators will lock them out tomorrow
and fight to retain the present In
definite working day of ten, eleven
and sometimes twelve hours.
The proposed strike is being engi-
neered by Local No. 152 of the Indus
trial Workers of the World.
Sixty-five ribbon weavers of the G.
Muller Company's plant decided at a
meeting not TO take part in the nine
hour day agitation. They also gave
their Endorsement to plan of form

S25O,OOO Loss IN
PREAKNESS FIRE
$50, 900 in Paintings Destroyed
When Blaze Races Mrs. Har-
riet Frew's New Mansion.

PATERSON, Dec. IA loss esti-
mated at $25O,oO0 was caused by a
fire that destroyed the residence of
Mrs Harriet e. Frew, of this city,
at Lower Preakness, Saturday night.
The building had just been erected
and 1t was expected that the owner
would move in during the coming
holidays.
The building was partly covered
by insurance.
John Rideout, coachman who also
acted as caretaker of the place. dis
covered the fire, but was powerless
to do anything, since the flames
gained great Roadway on the upper
floor of the residence. The cause of
the fire, 1t is supposed, was due to
defective wiring in the tower.
The Frew estate covers ITO acres.
For two years workmen had been
busy erecting the residence and dec
Grating the interior.
Included among the articles which
were lost were many valuable paint
with tapestries. The entire first floor
was cut from mahogany, which had
been especially selected. The furni-
ture was of colonial design, in keep
ing with the general design of the
residence.
A few of the paintings and other
valuable equippage of the house were
taken out by neighbors, who, after
several attempts to enter, were driv-
en- back by the flames. The ref1ec-
ton of the fire could be seen here.

today from the strike of teamsters
