OPTIMISM SHOWN
IN AGENCY REPORTS
Mercantile Summaries Declare
Confidence in Future Is In
dicated by Trade.

Conservative optimism and confidence
reports today by the mercantile
agencies Business is quiet. as Is usual
at this season of the year, but there is
little trace Of any feeling of pessimism.
R: G. Dun's report says. in part:
while business generally reflects the
auietness usual at this period, COM
mercial tendencies are mainly in the d.
rection of improvement and confidence
in the future has strengthened. Finan-
cial sentiment was affected somewhat
by the failures in the Pittsburgh dis
trict. the resumption Of gold exports,
and the threatened railway strike, yet
security values were well maintained In
view of these developments. A new low
record price, however. was reached on
United States bonds and also on British
consols, the markets abroad oelng de-
pressed early by fears Of computations
in the Balkan situation.
Included among the important
events OF the week was the Government
grain report, which, while showing
large deterioration in spring wheat, re-
vealed a splendid promise for winter
wheat and corn, thus indicating anotheT
prosperous year for the agricultural
community as whole
Bradstreet's says in part:
"Seasonable quiet prevail in the
larger lines Of trade. Brilliant weather
and holiday demands plus clearance
sles have greatly stimulated retail dis
tribution. and sentiment as to the future
appears to be more encouraging. There
is less timidity, and the major note
is one of conservative optimism. Buy
ers are beginning to appear in the vari-
out wholesale markets, and II Is >ap-
parent that more business has been
done, especially in dry goods and shoes.

Textile markets indicate more inter-

There is less apprehension regarding

latter promise good yields. This. COM

more cheerful views.

TWO PULhOTORS
SAVED NINE LIVES
Hospitals Give Credit Due to
Emergency Apparatus for
Preventing Deaths.

Nine lives have been saved by the
pulmotor in Washington since machines
of this type were donated to the Emer-
gency and Casualty Hospitals by the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany about three months ago, and be-
came a part OF the regular equipment
on the ambulances Of the two insti-
tutions.
At least, this Is the estimate made by
ambulance surgeons at the two hos
pitfalls today OF course. the physicians
cannot make a definite statement to the
effect that the nine persons, all Of whom
were suffering from gas poisoning,
would have died had it not been for the
machines, which afforded artificial!
means of respiration. but the condition
of each was such, when the pulmotOr
was applied, that under usual conditions
there would have been but little hope Of
recovery.
At the Casualty Hospital it is estl-
mated that four persons have been
saved by the pulmotOr, while a the
Emergency the number is placed az five
The machines have been used on several
other patients suffering from gas poison
ing, but none OF the others We're in a
critical condition and probably would
have recovered anyway
The success which has attended the
use OF pulmOtors in Washington is far
ahead OF the expectations OF the hos
pital surgeons when the instruments
were first installed, and so far there
has not been j case where the pulmOtOr
has been used in gas cases. except
where life Wa 5 practically extinct and
the machine was used with the knowl-
edge beforehand that the effort was
futile, where the patient has not re-
covered.
The Emergency and Casualty ambu-
lances carry the machines regularly,
while pulmOtors are kept at the Burea u
OF Mines, the gas office, and at the
electric company plant from which
they can be brought at an instant =
notice in case 1t IL impossible to get
either of the TWO ambulanCes.

CONGRESSMEN WILL
BACK SUFFRAGETTES
Senators and Members OF
House Favorable to Wo-
mans Plea for Ballot.

Invitations sent to members of Con-
gress by the National Association for
| Woman's Suffrage asking that they
join the mems league for the promo
ton Of the suffrage cause, have
brought many favorable replies. Let
ters received today from Senators
Townsend of Michigan, Perkins OF

press deep interest in the league.
Congressman Frank T. O'Hair, from
Uncle Joe" Cannons district in Illi-
nois, writes that he will join and rem
der all the assistance that he can, and
Congressman Charles NJ. Thompson Is
on less enthusiastic
In view OF the demonstration set for
! July 81, when a petition will be pre-
sented to the Senate asking that 1t
pass the suffrage amendment now be-
fore it, these replies have given great
encouragement to the suffragists at
the headquarters in F street, where
the arrangements for the march on
the Senate are being made.
No Place For Banquet.
No place has been fixed for holding
the banquet on the evening of the
thirty-first since the management of
to allow 1t to be held in the club
house. President Alexander. Britton,
of the clubs board of directors, called
up Miss Alice Paul, chairman Of the
suffrage committee on arrangements,
today and assured her that II would be
against the rules of the club to allow
a banquet to be given there unless
every diner were the guest of a men,
Der of the club and that member de-
frayed all expenses out of his own
pocket. He said that the rules of the
club provided for the expulsion OF
any member who accepted reimburse
ment for entertainment he provided.
What Is now puzzling the suffragists
Is how the club has reconciled this
policy to the practice followed at ban
quests there in the past, notably the
Princeton alumni and college fraternity
banquets. Miss Paul says she has talk
ed to eperosns who have been guests at
Chevy Chase, and who have paid for
their ticket out of their own pockets, al
though not members Of the club.
Anthony League Celebrates.
The members of the Anthony League:
subordinate organization Of the ma
tional suffrage association, are cele-
brating the first anniversary of the
founding of the league today with an
outing at the home Of Mrs. George w.
Wright, Forest Glen, Md.
An invitation was extended to every
anti-suffragist In the District to at
tend, but even the most optimistic did
not believe the attendance of "the oppo-
sition'' would break any records. The
program, which began at noon was in
charge of Miss Manette Paul. Congress
man Ferguson spoke on the Initiative
and referendum, and Mrs Anna f.
Hendley, founder and president Of the
league. also spoke. Miss Alice Jenkins,
Miss Clarice McCarty, and Mrs. Estelle
Willoughby Ions took part In musical
