The formal resignation Of
Mayor Alfred A. Perrine Of
1T. Vernon, elected mayor
of the city by tho Socialist
party at the fall election Of
1911, signed by himself on
June Oath, 1911, was pre-
sented to the city council
Monday evening BY q delega-
tion composed Of members
Of the Socialist party.
The mayors failure to
discharge certain employees
Of city department Of safe
ty is given as one Of the rea-
sons for the presentation Of
his resignation.
Mayor Perrine indignant
II and with fersibls and Bit
ter words spoke in his own
defense. He said:
II am the mayor Of ut.
Vernon, Of the Democratic
party, Of the Republican, So
cialist, Prohibitionist and ev-
cry other existing party and
not merely Of the Socialist
party alone. I ask council to
ignore the resignation"
The action came like a bolt
out of the blue sky. For
some time there has been dis
satisfaction among members
of the Socialist party but
measures of SO rigid a nature
were not expected. At q re-
cent meeting, however, the
members of the local who
we're present decided to pre-
sent the resignation which
has been treasured for twen-
ty-one months by the party
in order that they might BE-
in preparedness for such &C.
tion as has been taken should
they deem it necessary.
Immediately after the res
ignation was read Mayor
Perrine arose and express
ed himself. He spoke at
considerable length. He up
braided the actions Of the io-
cal. He lashed them unnasr-
cifully with accusati atiQns of
bulldozing, greed, incou,pe-
tency and narrowness. He
said in part: y

signed before my election. was not
the mayor Of the city when the sigma.
ture Was afixed."
In speaking further the mayor re-
peated parts of the above in order that
his meaning might be made clear. He
explained his attitude and made 1t
known conclusively. He said:
Il tell this because want council to
be thoroughly acquainted with the cir
cum stances and facts OF the situation y
There were an unusual number Of In
terested visitors at the session OF coun'
Gil and. at the conclusion Of Mayor
Peuines speech, a hearty round Of ap-
planse, was, given by hand clipping.
The mayor arose ana expressed his
thanks at the sentiment that apparent
~ prevailed.
Mr.. Dubinsky moved that the resig'
nation be turned back, to the senders.
Immediately Mr. Jacob Myers. who
was present as a member Of the So
cialist delegation, arose and asked per.
mission 70 address council.
Councilman Weaver quickly ad-
dressed President Dever and said:
Il do not think remarks on the sub.
tect are necessary"
At this point Mr.. Myers said:
Il 10 not wish 10 say anything II 1t
be against the wishes OF council"
When remarks were called for be-
fore the vote on Mr.. Dubinsky's mo-
tion Mr. Myers again expressed his de-
sire 10 speak but was again reminded
that the sentiment Of those other than
the members of the council were con-
sidered unnecessary.
At the conclusion Of the council ses-
sion MIR. Myers remarked during an
interview:
III has only begun. will not state
nov what intended TO state before
council had been permitted the floor.
! did not expect permission Of the floor
when came. There will be more to
come later for the action Of the local
Will be made known after the next
meeting. Nothing further can be done
until that time
When asked for the reason found by
the Socialist party TO warrant the de-
mand that the mayor abdicate bis Of
nee Mr.. Myers said:

charge ali a tAe oilcs holders upon

SENATOR MARTIN COMES DOWN
Will Now Go After Simmons Scalp
Martins Friends Charge Simmons
With Treachery.


Writing of the defeat of Senator
Marin, of Virginia, by the progress
sives in the Senate who are in favor
Of Kern, the Washington correspond
ent OF the Baltimore Sun, says:
THE defeat of Senator Martin was
the result primarily of a willingness
on the part of other conservatives to
sacrifice him to save themselves
This was especially true of Senator
Simmons, Of North Carolina, who had
previously stood staunchly by Martin,
but who, finding his own fortunes at
stake. let it be known that he would
abandon the Virginian
Those friends OF Senator Martin
who remained loyal to him to the last
were incensed ut the action of other
supporters who in the beginning were
prepared to tie their fortunes to his,
but who seeing that the Virginian
was doomed, quit a sinking ship and
went over to the enemy.
These friends did not hesitate to
say in private conversation that the
knife had been freely used by for
mer Martin men during the past
three days and several Of them ex-
pressed the hope that those conserv-
atives who retreated would be re-
warded by meeting the same treat
ment at the hands Of the progressives
that was meted out to Senator Mar
tin. And it is by no means certain
that this fond hope will not be realiz-
ed. Progressive Democrats who led
the fight for Senator Kern are eager
for the scalp of Senator Simmons
next.
I'm his campaign for reelection to
the Senate, Simmons told the people
of North Carolina that II he failed to
secure the craftsmanship of the Sem
ate finance committee he would re-
sign his seat. Today there were half
a dozen or more Senate progressives
who said they were willing to call
the Simmons bluff"

their march only when troops OF cav

many instances amounted TO nothing
less than riots.
Later in the afternoon the pageant
was turned into an indignation meet
ing by the suffragists and the Wash

ed for their inactivity and resolutions
were passed calling upon President
elect Wilson and the incoming Con-
gress TO make an investigation and

The scenes which attended the en-

bedraggled women had to fight their
way up Pennsylvania avenue, swamp
ed by a mob with which few police
men struggled in vain, were repeated
today but upon vastly larger scale
The marchers had to fight their way

one hour in making the first ten
