PINDELL'S name
GOES TO SENATE
Fight Is Expected Over Con-
firmation Of Diplomatic
Nomination.
BURTON TO INVESTIGATE
Letter Said to Have Been Written by
Editor to Representative Stone
Likely to Play Part.

President Wilson sent to the Senate
yesterday the nomination of Henry NJ.
Pindell as Ambassador to Russia. Mr..
Pindell is the publisher of the Peoria
Journal, and has gained considerable no.
toriety on account of ali alleged agree
ment that he should have the Russian
Enthusiastically for a year, to enjoy a
brief social regime, and then surrender
1t to the State Department.
1t was to Mr.. Pindell that Senator
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois was al
legged to have written, reciting with some
detail. the circumstances under which
Mr.. Pindell was to have the Russian ap-
pointment. While this letter has been
denounced as practically forgery, there
are other facts and other letters involved
in Mr.. Pindelfs case that may prevent his
confirmation.
Senator Burton, q minority member of
the Foreign Relations Committee, has
asked Chairman Bacon not to allow the
nomination of Pindell to be reported to
the Senate until after Senator Burton
can investigate 1t thoroughly. When
the nomination reached the Senate yes
terday 1t was referred to the Foreign
Relations Committee, and it is certain
to lead to a long fight.
Letter to Mr.. Stone.
The latest phase of the PindeII matter
Is a letter said to have been written by
the publisher to Representative Stone,
Democrat, of the Peoria district This
letter is in possession of Mr.. Stone, and
Is likely to play a part in the considera-
ton Of Mr.. Pindells nomination by the
Foreign Relations Committee. Senator
Burton learned of the letter a week ago,
ana has had conference with Repre-
sentative Stone, and is probably familiar
with the text of the letter.
Persons who have read the letter
say that Mr.. PindelI proposed in writ
ing to the Peoria member of Congress
a plan by which they should collabor-
ate in the matter of making recon-
mendations for postmasters in that
Congressional district, and that each
postmaster recommended should be in
structed to act as the agent practically
of Mr.. Pindelrs newspaper in his par
tfcular locality, presumably to take
subscriptions and forward them, do COL
lecting, and generally become useful
in promoting the interests of the news
paper.

Woman Legislator from Colorado Addresses Gathering at
 Mrs. HinCkS' Home

Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, state senator from Colorado, told an inter ested audience at the home of Mrs. William T. Hincks, 152 Park Place last evening, what the women of Colo rado have accomplished with the bal lot. She also presented an able argu- ment for woman suffrage and incl dentally took a rap at the '.Antis.
 The meeting was held out doors- Mrs. Hincks. the hostess, welcomed the large gathering that came to hear Senator Robinson and Mrs. s. T. ~Da- wis, Jr., president of the Bridgeport Equal Franchise League introduced the. speaker.
 Senator Robinson said in part:
 ''If any of you here are 'anfis' I have nothing to say to you; nothing can now save your soul. An anti is as bad as an ingrowing Tory. It is the women still on the fence whose at tention I want They are sure to come down soon. as in these days of tight skirts they can't long be comfortable there.
 woman suffrage is not a. failure in the state where 1t has been tried. The men who send out such reports are the defeated office seekers. and, chagrined at failure, blame the wo- men. People seem to think, when they say the voting woman will neg 1ect her home, that she must vote all the time, rushing through breakfast each morning to spend the day at the polls.
 'I spend about 20 minutes each year away from home for the pur- pose of voting. Aside from the mere mechanical side of casting the bal lot, it is true that political anticipa- tion is apt to require some serious thinking and reading newspaper and magazines, but women cannot be ex- pected to care to read only bargain pages, Robert w. Chambers, and the lingerie journals. Garbage cans and clean streets. which are necessary be- fore we can have clean houses, are vital questions with us women, and we cannot face a clean conscience in regard to them if we neglect to follow them into politics, and there is always pretty close connection between gar bage and politics.
 Mrs. Robinson emphasized especial 1y the need of a woman element in politics. She said just as an old mans home is not a perfect hone;- as there is no man in 1t, so the government without women is an imperfect gov ernment when entirely man-made and man-controIed.
