BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

He has not yet announced his posi-
ton on the literary test feature Of
pending immigration bills and indi-
Gated today that he would not do so
until consulted by leaders in congress.
The senate committee on immigration
has announced that it will seek the
presidents advice in the matter.
The president has been giving audi
ence OF late to many interested in that
phase of immigration legislation and
there is said to be some ground for the
belief that he may suggest certain
notifications in the literary test as
now proposed.
Secretary Wilson Of the department
of labor informed congress today that
he was not opposed to the principle of
the literacy test.
He. recommended making the tnTni-
grafton bill more drastic in regard to

HAD BRASS BAND
AND FLYING COLORS
Twenty-Five Were Received
by President and Five Of
Them Made Speeches in
Presentation of Their Ar
guments for the Suffrage
Movement.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 2.-President Will
son gave no encouragement today to a
delegation of three hundred working
women who marched on the White
T ouse with a brass band and flying
Col0rs to ask his support for con-
stitutional amendment enfranchising
women. Twenty five of the women
were received by the president, and
FIVE in short speeches presented their
argument. The president reiterated
that as leader of the Democratic party
he was limited only to recommending
those things on which the party had
made up its mind.
We don't want you to break with
your party, but we would like YOU to
influence them" said Mrs. Glendower
Evans, of Boston, after the president
had finished speaking.
1T isn't a question of breaking with
the party" replied the president. 1T
is a question of speaking for it,
We'll, why rot speak for it, re
Joined Mrs. Evans as the women
laughed. That's what we want. You
have such tremendous power and can
work miracles with it,
The president did not continue the

meet the women who were waiting
outside.
But they told us we coul1nt ali
come in," remarked Mrs. Evans.
1T must be a misunderstanding"
said the president, and he sent word
out that he would like TO have the
delegation come in.
The women came in, single file,
passing in one door and out another.
Some of the women declined to shake
hands with the president, marching in
differently by refusing TO take his
proffered hand. At their exit DR.. Mary
Walker, in male attire, argued with
the women that suffrage was Il state
issue.
She was not permitted to enter with
the delegation. Pleas of the working
women were phrased eloQuently and
with a touch of pathos and emotion as
they described the hardships of women
workers.

Case Suddenly Settled.

The 500 damage suit brought by
Mrs. Clara Unger of New York city
against the Rutland railroad for in
juries alleged by plaintiff to have been
sustained by her in an accident a year
ago near Middlebury was brought to an
abrupt end in Burlington Tuesday when
Judge Butler, upon opening court, an
nounced that a settlement had been
reached between the two parties The
plaintiff had completed its evidence and
the defence was well along with its case.
The arrival from Chicago Tuesday
morning of an important witness for
the defence might have had some bear
ing in the sudden negotiations for set
Element, the terms of which were not
made public.
Interesting evidence was submitted
on both sides during the trial and the
case was hard fought. 1t was prose-
cuted by V. A. Billiard and j. j. En-
right for plaintiff, R. A. Lawrence and
R. E. Brown appearing for the rail-
road.

FIREMEN KEPT BUSY.
Michael Dwyer's House Burned on Newton Street-Three Other Calls.

A two and a half story dwelling house at No. 59 Newton street, owned by Michael Dwyer. was almost entire ly destroyed by fire which broke out at about $40 o'clock Tuesday morning The autochemical answered the still alarm, and on their arrival the men found that the fire had good start. so a bell alarm was sent in from box 15, all the companies excepting those in GreeneVille responding. Two hy- drants used were some distance from the house, which was on a hill. and only small streams of water were pro- curable. With the high wind and lack of water it was impossible to save the house
 The fire was caused by an overheat- ed furnace. The building and contents were a total loss, estimated by MT. Dwyer at $2,0O0, partially covered by insurance.
 There was great delay in sending in the alarm, which was not done till aft CT the firemen had got there, and Chief Stanton said after the fire that with the way the bell alarm was held back the house would have been doomed even in summer eather. A team had to be sent three-quarters of a mile to ring the box.
 The men suffered severely from the cold, with frost bitten fingers, toes and faces, but appreciated greatly the warm
 
 full women near the scene of the fire. On the other fire calls of the day coffee was also served.
 MT. Dwyer was insured for S1,500 in the New London County Mutual Fire Insurance company. and had the sat isfactory experience of receiving a set tlement before 3 o'clock in the after noon.
 There was a chimney fire at 96 Franklin street Tuesday morning, which was put out by Captain Kelly with a tank of chemical he borrowed from a garage.
 In the afternoon the autoohemical was called to the Norwich Nickel & Brass Go. for a fire started in the soft coal by spontaneous combustion. They laid a line of hose from the company's s hydrant and left it in charge of Cap tain Smith, who works at the factory.
 There was a chimney fire at the home of Kive Lahn, No. 69 Sumit street, which was eXtinguished by the uSe of water
