There. little girl. don't cry;
You're woman still. you know.
Though su'fragette
You mustn't forget
rfsf..s .f-f. e., .r.tHn amt 10

Two little girl reporters invited TO
a suffrage meeting, both got turned
away-then there were four. Four ut
tie girl reporters, knocking at the door
of the Lotos Club, all were invited to
sit on the doorstep for an hour-then
there were none.
That is why there isn't any inside
story of what happened at the woman
suffrage meeting at the Lotos Club yes
terdav afternoon. The doorstep story
is as follows:
Sundry male champions of the sui
frage cause sent word to all the news
papers requesting that reporter be
sent 70 cover a campaign committee
meeting at the Lotos Club. Four news
papers assigned their women reporters
who are in the habit of covering SUI
frage affairs TO go TO the Lotos CLUB.
At the door they were informed that
women were never admitted within the
portals of the Lotos Club.
"Strange, is it not" said the four to
one another, chat men can assemble
to work for equal rights for women
and refuse women the right to do their
work."
Then the four had bright idea.
at must be the Lotos that makes
them forget their principles they
said.
Irving Burdick, secretary of the suf-
frage committee, was appealed TO TO
see if the rules of the club might not
be forgotten for the occasion. Mr..
Burdick did not return. In his place
came stout gentleman, who told the
four little girl reporters that they
might as well 90 right away from there
at once. because they would not be per-
mtted to enter.
The four went away.
Mr. Burdick, from the doorstep, had
vouchsafed the information that the
men were going to amend the consti-
tuition so as to give women the right
to vote. How? Through an amend
uent submitted through the Legislat-
ure, or through one submitted by the
Constitutional Convention? Mr.. Bur-
dick thought both. Herbert Parsons.
Amos Pinchot, Gilbert +. Roe, Bertram
Cruger and Irving Burdick were the
organizers of the committee. About
thirty-fve attended the meeting.
Mr.. Parsons was the recipient yester-
CAV of a letter from Miss Mary Gar
rett Hay, chairman of the Woman Suf-
frage party Ct Greater New York, in
reference TO a remark made by Mr..
Parsons at the Fifth Avenue Suffrage
Shop few days ago. Mr.. Parsons told
the suffragists that if they wanted to
win the vote they should organize by
election districts and make house to
house canvas.

Of that method of getting the vote, be-

WHITMAN ALARMS
REPUBLICAN HEADS
Is Considering Democrat
to Succeed Him as Dis
trict Attorney.
MENKEN is NAMED
IN GUESS AT MAN
Tanner Strongly Opposes Idea
Urged as Aid to Fusion
Deal in Fall.

Governor-elect Whitman is consider
ing the appointment Of an independent
Democrat to succeed himself as Dis
trict Attorney. The proposition, which
came to him from Independent sources,
is being vigorously opposed by Chair
man Tanner of the state committee
and the local organization.
II could not be learned last night
who Mr.. Whitman has in mind. One
guess was that it might be S. Stanwood
Menken.
In his selection Of new prosecutor
the District Attorney has conferred
with the justices of the Appellate Di-
vision. 1t is surmised that his visit
to Chief Justice Ingraham yesterday
may have been to talk over the posi-
bility Of naming an independent Demo-
crat.
Mr.. Whitman denied that the visit
had anything to do with tangle as to
the way in which his resignation from
the Office of District Attorney should be
made. A story to that effect was printed
in the afternoon papers. Mr. Whitman
let il be inferred that the visit was in
connection with the work of his office,
saying there were still many things
there that had to receive his personal
attention.
The argument OF the independent
Democrats to Mr.. Whitman was that 1t
would be absolutely necessary TO have
fusion if there was TO be an anti-Tam-
many victory next fall. The Republi-
cans, they said, would probably want
the nomination for Sheriff in any
fusion arrangement, also to name sew
eral Of the five candidates for the Su-
preme Court. That would make 1t no
more than fair that the nominee for
District Attorney should be an indie
pendent Democrat.
Mr.. Whitman strongly believes that
fusion next year would be an excellent
thing He has offered the District Al
torneyship 10 three we'll known Repub-
licans, and they have declined. He was
much impressed with the idea that It
might be an excellent stroke TO put n
high class independent Democrat in
the prosecutors chair, but Republican
leaders said last night they had no
idea he would decide to take the Office
away from the Republicans.
State Chairman Tanner told Mr.
Whitman that upstate Republicans
would feel there could be no reasonable
excuse for taking away from the Re
publican organization an Office already
held by them and in which a vacancy
existed through d tremendous Repub-
lican victory.
Attention of the Governor has been
called to the fact that he is framing
up an extensive programme Of legisla-
ton. and to insure its passage it IS
necessary FOR him to retain the good
will Of the Republican leaders.
The Governor denied an after
noon story to the effect that he had
decided to recommend in his first
message to the Legislature the abolish
ment Of the Public Service commits
sions and the establishment Of one
body of seven members. He said he
would make no reference to the Pub
lie Service law in his first message.

KNOX FIGHTS FOR
THAW'S FREEDOM
Jerome Opposes Ex-Secretary
of State in Country's High
est Court.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE last ef-
fort in the fight for the freedom or
Harry Kendall Thaw, the slayer of
Stanford White. was made to-day be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States by former Secretary of State
Philander c. Knox and a former Gov
ernor of the State of Pennsylvania. W.
A. Stone. William Travers Jerome, as
sisted by Frank Kennedy, appeared for
the State of New York.
Members of the bar and spectators
from ordinary walks of life crowded
the courtroom and long line of peo-
pie extended down the corridor of the
Capitol. Mr.. Jerome made the open
ing argument, asserting that Thaw
should have been eXtradited from
New Hampshire on the charge of con-
spiracy TO escape from New York,
where he was confined.
THE learned counsel on the other
side" he said, "dO not distinguish be-
tween insanity and responsibility.
We assert that Thaw was guilty OF
conspiracy, even though confined as
insane"
Mr.. Knox, making the principal ar
gument for Thaw, contended that
Thaw could not be extradited for COM
hitting a crime in New York when the
penal law Of New York contained the
declaration that an insane person
could not commit a crime, and the
State of New York itself had repeated
ly made the argument that Thaw was
insane.
Chief Justice White suggested by a
question that Thaw might be extra
dited for the crime charged and apply
for writ Of habeas corpus if an at
tempt should be made to confne him
on other grounds, but Mr.. Knox con-
tended that there was no legal au-
thority for the extradition.

ASQUlTH'S HOUSE LEASED
Lady Cunard, American, Gets
Cavendish Square Place.

London. Dec. 11.-What is believed to
indicate that when Prime Minister As
auth retires it will be 20 his small
villa which was recently built at Sut-
Courtney, on one of the back
waters Of the Thames. is the fact that
the Asquith house in Cavendish Square
has been leased for a long period Of
years TO Lady Cunard.
The Cunards have occupied the house
for the last two years. II is really the
property Of the Premier's wife, having
come to her through the will Of her
father, Sir Charles Tennent.
70 has been thought for long time
that when Mr.. Asquith retires he would
not want to incur heavy household ex-
penses, as he will get only $4,000 a
year. As Premier he receives $4,000
and a residence.
The Cavendish Square house is one
of the finest examples of Georgian
decoration in London. Lady Cunard is
an American She is the daughter OF
the late +. F. Burke. Of Chicago.
