New YORK, Sept. 2G.-Mrs. HarrI-
ct Stanton Blatch. president of the

letters to the presidents OF the state

to change the basis of representation
in Republican national conventions,
and asks the women to work to have
the representation based not more

Unhurt by Fall from Horse

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24-Bruised
and shaken, but otherwise uninjured,
Major-General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the army, was receiving
congratulations today at the war de-
partment that bad fall from his
horse had not resulted more seriously.
General Wood and his daughter were
cantering across the parade ground at
Fort Myer, Virginia, yesterday when
the officer spurred his horse at a
ditch. His charger, high-spirited
animal, Unexpectedly leaped high in
the air, rearing as 1t rose and throw
ing General Wood heavily to the
ground, rendering him unconscious.
Men of the Third Field Artillery
carried the officer to a shady spot at
the side of the parade grounds, where
he quickly revived. He insisted in re-
mounting, and rode to his quarters.
