WIDESPREAD INTEREST Is
AROUSED IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Jan. 30.-The report
from Miami, Fla, concerning William
]. Bryan's place in the Wilson cabinet,
spread through the capitol today and
aroused widespread interest and COM
ment among the senators and repre-
sentatives. There was some misgiv-
Ing at the outset as to accepting the
report in the absence of an authorita-
tive statement direct from the princi-
pals and because of the frequency of
cabinet states appearing of late.
However, the prevailing view was
that the report was in line with what
had been expected for some time by
those leaders having close relations
with the president-elect and Mr.. Bryan.
Some of the leaders in the confidence
e both the president elect and MIR.
Bryan asserted their belief in the ac-
curacy OF the statement that Mr..
Bryan has accepted the portfolio. It
was said that Mr.. Bryan had conf1ded
tMprominent democratic senator's some
time ago the fact that he had been
offered the position and had deter
mined to accept 1t, but none OF the
leaders today was willing to permit
the use of his name in connection with
It.
Members of the house and senate
who recently talked with President
elect Wilson declined today to make
any statement as to the information
they had received from him.

CASTRO AGAIN
BARRED FROM
THE. COUNTRY
Former President of Vene-
zuela Appeals in Vain to
State Department-Nagel
Stands Firm.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington. Jan. So.-Cipriano Cas-
tro, former president of Venezuela,
was today denied admission to the
United States by Secretary of Com
merce and Labor Nagel. The Vene-
zuelans are unwavering in their re-
fusal to answer the question whether
while president, he was a party to the
killing of General Paredez, which case
was cause for the order for his de-
portation.
Nagel held that Castro's refusal to
answer the question may in itself
constitute an admission by conduct of
felony.
The immigration law bars persons
convicted of. or admitting, crimes not
purely political. The secretary held
tn killing of Paredez was not a poll
tical crime.
Alleged information against Castro
has been furnished by the state de-
partment.

BRITISH LABOR PARTY
FAVORS WOMAN SUFFRAGE

London, Jan. 30.-The British labor
party today officially declared Itself
in favor of woman suffrage.
BY a vote of $50 to 437, a confer
ence Of the representatives of most
Of the trade movements Of the United
Kingdom adopted a resolution instruct
ing labor members of parliament to
oppose any franchise bill in which
women were not included.
The significance to the woman suf-
frage movement of this resolution is
very great. The trades unions have
between 100000 and 100000 mem
bers, nearly all Of whom are electors
and their attitude would carry enor-
nous weight in case women suffrage
was made a plank in the program of
any p-rty at a general election.

made by Director P. H. Rolls, c. K.

Commercial Association. School Com
missioner Creary was chairman.
1t was the first Farmers Institute
held in Bluff Springs and while the au-
dience was not as large as that in

was keen and children as well as adults
listened intentively, the lectures and
talks being given in the schoolhouse.
ToDAY'S MEETINGS.
Director Roifs and Professor spen-
GER. accompanied by Messrs. Reeves
and Gordon, of the Pensacola Com
mercial Association, visit Ferry Pass
this morning and Myrtle Grove this
afternoon.
Mr.. McQuarrie leaves today for San
ia Rosa, where he will spend two or
three days instructing colonists what
they may grow best there to get early
returns from their land and, at the
same time, improve it if Improvement
is needed here and there.
Not long ago the request came to
the Gainesville institution to send a

After that they talked upon corn
and soil building, illustrating the sub
jects.
The value of the legumes, notably
Yokahama beans and Chinese velvet
beans. was urged upon the assembled
farmers and they were told to grow
those things, not only because they
afford good immediate returns, but be-
cause they greatly enrich the soil and
will do much in two or three years TO
benefit land that has been farmed and
re-farmed so that it has lost much of
its productivity.
Professor Rolls Joined the staff in
the afternoon and gave lecture upon
fertilizers. He met the members of
the Crop Improvement Association
here during the morning, got much
information regarding their working
plan and was able to impress upon his
Bluff Springs audience the necessity of

ACCEPTABLE TO THE ALLIES

the comment made by DR.. Daneff,
leader of the Bulgarian peace delega-
ton, when he was shown the terms of
the Ottoman response. He continued:
Speaking on behalf of the allies, I
state that the Turkish reply is not Of
character to form the basis of fresh
negotiations. We have said that the
fortress of Adrianople and the Turkish
islands in the Aegean sea must be ced-
ed and without this the negotiations
will not be resumed.
Moreover this cession must be
made before hostilities are resumed as
the first shot will change our condi-
tions."

SHEATH GOWN AND SPLIT SKIRT DEPRIVE DEMONSTRATION
 OF WEIGHT.
APPEARANCE WAS BIZARRE
Anti-Suffragette Makes Scath- ing Arragnment of Big
 New York Parade.

Washington, May That sheath gowns, the split skirt and the low necked gown in daylight made the woman's suffrage parade in New York a distinctly woman's appeal" $ only one of the biting criticisms of the demonstration handed out by Mra. A. J. George of Boston, prominent anti-suffragist.
 Also Mrs. George intimates that in dications point to the suffragists of America taking up the warfare of their English sisters.
 Mrs. George says:
 "It is great piece of humor, con- scious or unconscious, that sex appeal was fragrant and the dominant note in the suffragist parade in New York last Saturday. It becomes grim humor when we remember that those suffragists are the people who con American politics will uplift humanity and put down the social evil and the white slave traffic.
 ''It is more than inconsistent for women to talk of bridling the faults and vices of men, and then to con- duct and dress themselves in such a manner that their preaching is de- prived of any weight. ,a;.AepsA.
 'In the suffragist parade in New York there were to be seen those things which are commonly and right fully decried by all men and women who wish to see society improved The sheath gown, the split skirt, the low-necked gown, in the broad light of day. and the general bizarre effect only could be calculated to make upon men distinctly woman's ap- peal.
 When women, banded together for any political purpose, dress as fla grantly as was done in Fifth avenue Saturday, they make the confession that they rely on their sex rather than on their arguments and rights, in order to further their cause. More over, they also do much of that harm which they say they deplore"
