PETTICOAT BRIGADE
STARTS FOR
FRONT
FEVERlsH ACTIVITY PREVAILS
AT SUFFRAGE HEADouAR
TEFs ON EVE OF "HIkE."

New York, Feb. 11.-Feverish ac
tivity prevailed today at the head
quarters of the New York Woman's
Suffrage Association. Hundreds OF
visitors had to be received and the tele
phone wires were kept hot answering
questions of those who desired in,
formation concerning the details OF
tomorrow's great event, the start OF
the petticoat brigade under the com
mand of General" Resale Gardiner
Jones, for the front, meaning Wash
ington, d. c., where the national strug-
gle for suffrage will be inaugurated
with a monster demonstration on the
day before Inauguration day.
For many weeks the "hike" of the
New York and New England contin-
gent of the suffrage army from this
city to Washington, d. c., formed the
allabsorbing subject of conversation
in suffrage circles. 1t was believed
that in view of the success OF the'
pilgrimage to Albany a short time
ago. a large number of suffrage en-
thusiasts would feel encouraged to
take part in the march to the national
capital, but the enthusiasm of the
suffragettes had evidently been over
estimated Although the start of the
New York contingent tomorrow is ex-
pected to draw large crowd of SYM
pathetic or merely curious spectators
to the Hudson terminal station, on
Fulton street, from whence the "hik-
ers" will start upon their march at |
9 o'clock tomorrow morning, it is not
probable that the actual marching
party will number more than score

different points along their route and
that at several intermediate points
small parties Of other marchers will
join them. so that the petticoat army
may be of quite imposing proportion
b. the time 1t reaches Washington.
General Rosalie Gardiner Jones, who
also commanded the army which in
vaded Albany a short time ago, had
gathered valuable experience during
that march, which enabled her to ar
range all details Of the present trip
with the judgment of an experienced
campaigner. Her general orders in
reference to the hike" were brief,
business-like and to the point She
made 1t clear to those wishing to take
part in the trip that ball dresses, even
Ing clothes, ETC., would be decidedly
de trop and that no marcher would be
permitted to take along more baggage
than could be easily slowed away in
an ordinary suitcase. For the sake
of uniformity it was ordered that ev-
cry one of the soldiers would wear q
pilgrim cloak and hood and carry
knapsack and staff. The knapsack
will be large enough to hold one or
two pair of extra wooden stockings,
adhesive plaster, vaseline, absorbant
cotton and few other things which
may be desirable and useful in cases
OF emergency Each marcher will be
permitted one medium size bag or suit
case, which will be carried on bag
gage wagon forming the packtrain of
the army"
The mixers" expect to reach Eliza

New Brunswick. N. j., on the evening
of Feb. 10; Trenton on the 14th Bris-
toll on the 18th; Burlington Pa, on the

for public careers. Best known locally

mandrill, with two others, gave up a

and settled down with Cy De Yry.
