WOMEN SAY MAYOR
RECONSIDERATION
Merely Demands Good Public
Record, Debating Ability and
No Suffrage Bias.

Mavor Mitchell has told the women's
temporary committee for representa-
tion in the constitutional convention
that he is thoroughly in favor Of
women delegates TO the convention, ac-
cording TO a statement by Miss Harriet
Lowenstein, the committees secretary,
issued yesterday.
The Mayor qualified his approval,
however, by saying that only such
women should be selected as had al
ready rendered service to the COM
munity, and that il should be under
stood that they 60 as representatives
of the community and not solely as
representing women's interests. He
added that the women should qualify
mentally and by experience TO take
part i'm the debates of the convention.
The women also presented a brief
containing their arguments TO William
Church Osborn. lie wrote in response:
This would seem 10 me TO offer to
the women of the state an opportunity
10 test legally and finally the question
raised by your interesting brief. | see
no reason why candidate or candi-
dates of your sex should not be put
in nomination by petition of the requi-
site number of voters under the pri-
mary law, either for delegates to the
constitution or for delegates at large.
I'm case this action is followed it would
probably be taken up for early action
by the court and the question OF eligi-
bility would be decided"
The officers OF the temporary COM
mittee are Miss Lillian ID. Wald, chair
man; Mrs. Ogden Mills Reid, vice
chairman; Miss Cornelia +. Bryce,
treasurer, and Miss Anna Rhodes, sec

to listen and wait for the other side
to begin experimenting. Thus thought
the leader of the lavo-Franco- British
forces in Wells's story. And to-day
that IS the side that is playing the
waiting game.
The underlying causes of the great
war were described by the author as
blindness on the part of those in power
TO the economic and sociological
changes that had come over the world
since the old days Of conquest, and
fatuous dreams of another empire
greater than that of Caesar or Alexan-
der. The great masses Of the people
were, in turn, led into the war because
lit was a comparatively easy matter
TO fill their vacant minds with the
sounds and fury of exasperated sus-
picion and national aggression"
But the authors imagination went
beyond European war. and saw it be-
come a world war which did not cease
until "the himsy fabric of the worlds
credit had vanished; industry was COM
pletely disorganized, and every thickly
populated area was starving or trem-
bled on the verge of starvation" Be
fore that "China and japan had as
sailed Russia and destroyed Moscow;
the United States had attacked Japan,
and India was in anarchist revolt, with
Delhi pit Of fire spouting death and
flame"

WARBURC SUBMITS
TO 4-HOUR CRILLINC
Examination Followed by
Prediction His NOmina-
ton Will Be Confirmed.
tFrom TIE Tribune Bureau

Washington, Aug. AFTER subject
ing Paul NJ. Warburg TO an inquisition
of nearly four hours duration, mem
bers of the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee this evening predict
ed that his nomination TO be member
of the Federal Reserve Board would De
fsyoraby reported BIZ the COMMITTEES
and confirmed by the Senate without
serious opposition.
Questions put to Mr.. Warburg to-
day covered wide range. They deals
with the activities of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. in the so-called Alton deal and as
part Of the system OF big business
and Wall Street. Members Of the COM
mittee were far more reluctant to dis
close the details of the nearing than
they were in the case OF Thomas ID.
Jones, and an agreement was entered
into making il a matter Of honor on
the part of each member not TO revc'.l
the nature Of Mr.. Warburg's replies or
the information obtained by the COM
mittee.
The examination to-day was lone
almost exclusively b. Senator Bristow,
who will probably carry his fight TO the
floor of the Senate. The Democratic
members of the committee had little
TO say, and indicated by their attitude
that they would without exception vote
for the confirmation OF the New YORK
banker Senator Reed, who took an
active part in the Jones inquisition,
found it convenient to-day TO make a
long speech in the Senate on the "un-
fair competition" section of the Trade
Commission bill, although il was not
technically under consideration.
The Democratic votes alone on the
committee would make favorable re-
port of the Warburg nomination cer-
tain, bus in addition il is probable
that one or two Republican votes will
be cast for him.
The hearing will be resumed or
Monday, when il is expected the Bank
ing and Currency Committee will order
a favorable report on the nomination.
There will be little delay on the part
of the Senate in passing upon the
question.
Official announcement was made that
the nomination of a member of the
Federal Reserve Board, 70 fill the va
cancy caused by the withdrawal OF
Thomas ID. Jones, would be sent to the
Senate on Monday. The President is
confident that the new Federal Reserve
bank system can be placed in operation
within two weeks after the organiZa-
ton of the board and that il will do
much to stabilize the financial situation
in the United States.

ROOSEVELT HEARS
MARYLAND IS HIS
E. WinSloW Williams Tells
Him Democrats Are
DESERVING Wilson.
MOOSE THERE WILL
ABSORB REPUBLICANS
Two Parties Said To Be Likely
to Fight J. Walter Smith
for Senate.

lFrom a STAFF Correspondent OF The Trlbune.l
Oyster Bay, Long Island, Aug. l.
The Maryland situation was presented
to Colonel Roosevelt to-day by +. Win
slow Williams, now a Progressive and
formerly a Democrat. Mr.. Williams
was Secretary Of State of Maryland
from 1907 until 1911.
"The Democrats in my state" Mr..
Williams said, "are drawing away from
President Wilson. They are displeased
with the administrations acts and at
titude and regard Mr.. Roosevelt as
the only man who can run things from
the White House in a satisfactory man
ner. There is little doubt that 1916
will find most of the 1912 Maryland
supporters of Mr.. Wilson back of the
Colonel.
THE Progressives in our. state Will
take in the Republicans as soon as the
latter make it clear that they will no
longer tolerate the machine politicians
Of the party. As it stands now the
Republicans of Maryland, outside of
the bosses, have no say in drawing up
the party platform.
Approves of Hinman.
NATURALLY the opportunity they will
get with US to have a voice in shaping
the platform will cause the dissatisfied
rank and file of the Republicans to
come over to us. They will have TO
accept the Roosevelt Progressive pol
icies, but we think they will not hest
tate to do that"
What do you and your people in
Maryland think of the Progressive in
dorsement of Human, a Republican,
for Governor in this state?" he was
asked.
1--WE approve of it," he replied. "Mr.
Roosevelt's firm aim is good govern
rert, a desire to get the best men, no
matter of what party. That shows he
is not d hidebound partisan and that
he is willing to stand behind Repub-
licans and Democrats who realize that
the Progressive policies are the real
policies of the day and the future"
George w. Perkins called on the
Colonel this afternoon. After his talk
he told the newspaper men there was
nothing new in the state situation. He
had nothing to say about the person
mel of the remainder of the state
ticket, spreading the impression that
it will be some time before the slate
is filled.

WILSON PLEADS
With RAILROADS
President Urges Consent
to Arbitration of Dis
pute Over Wages.
lTrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Aug. 1.-The crisis in
engineers and firemen on ninety-eight
Western railroads, which President
Wilson is understood to regard as more
menacing to business conditions in
this country than the European war,
will be reached Monday, when the rep
resentatives of the roads will give the
President their answer to his appeal
on patriotic grounds for peaceful ad-
justment of the dispute.
At two conferences at the White
House this afternoon, one with a
dozen railroad officials and the other
with Warren S. Stone, grand chief of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers, and w. S. Carter, president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Engineers, President Wilson
outlined his views at length. He
pointed out that with the Western
roads tied up in these abnormal
times" the worst panic and era of
business depression in the history Of
the country probably would ensue.
President Wilson first talked with
the railroad officials and then with the
representatives of the employees. He
urged the officials to accept the pro-
posals of the United States Board of
Mediation and Cancellation and to con-
sent to the arbitration of the wage
dispute, waving all other differences
developed in the controversy, including
the quest on Of the abrogation of the
rules by the roads.
Already the representatives of the
engineers and firemen have accepted
the findings or suggestions of the
mediation and Cancellation board. They
told the President they were perfectly
willing to abide by the recommended
tions Of the board, comprising Judge
Martin A. Knapp and William ]. Cham
bers, who made seven-dsy investiga-
ton in Chicago before appealing to the
President, who in turn brought about
to-day's conferences.
The railroad officials informed the
President that they would give him an
answer Monday, and meanwhile would
confer among themselves and get into
communication with the heads of their
respective roads.
Judge Knapp and Mr.. Chambers held
conference with the President this
evening, at which they gave the Presi-
dent further information regarding
the railway situation.

VILLA READY FOR
WAR ON CARRANZA
Not Invited to Occupy
Capital, He'll Put 10000
Men in Field.
rBv Telerraph to The Tribune.

Juarez, Mexico, Aug. General
Villa is determined to make General
Felipe Angeles Provisional President
of Mexico, and he is massing his army
to force the acceptance of Angeles By
the Constitutiopalists of the Carranz1
faction. This was learned in Juarez
tonight, and it also has been learned
that Villa told George c. Carothers,
special representative of the United
States State Department, of his plans
and asked him to lay them before Sec
rotary Bryan and President Wilson.
Carotherss special report, which he
made in Washington to-day, is believed
to have outlined Villas plans and to
have been virtually a request from
Villa for the moral support of the
United States in carrying them out. 1t
has been learned that General Car
rama has ignored Villa in planning for
the entry of Constituencies troops
into Mexico City.
General Villa has not been invited
officially or unofficially to participate
in the occupation CT the capital, ana
he is determined. it is said, to oppose
the plans of Carranza.
No peace agreement made by Car
rama with Carbajal will be accepted
nv Villa and the twenty thousand men
which Villa has under arms will be put
into the field Immediately against Car
rama. 1t has also been learned here
that all the coal which vi has oO-
tanned for his troop trains had peen
purchased by him in New Mexico, and
that fourteen trainloads of the coal
are tied up by washouts on the road
below Chihuahua City. -.
II is the inability to get this coal
that has prevented Villa from acting
against Carranza, it is said. Carranza
had promised to supply Villa with coal
from the Coahuila fields.
FL Paso. Tex, Aug General Villa
has not been invited officially or un-
officially by General Carranza to ta6e
mart in the entry of the Constitution
aI:st troops into Mexico City, 1t was
learned to-day. 1t explained IN pars,
AZ least. the delay of the northern COM
mander an moving his forces south.
N was learned also that Villa he's
beon recruiting an average of tonr
hundred men daily at chihuahua City.
Washington, Aug. George c.
Carothers, special representative of the
state Department, who has been ac-
companying General Villa, arrived to-
dav from FL Paso, and had a confer
ence with Secretary Bryan. He ex-
planned his Impressions of the fighting
general and what he believed would be
the latter's attitude toward Carranza.
For several days reports of Villas
disincIination to submit to Carranza
have been reaching officials here.
