ANTI-SUFFRACISTS
SERVE ULTIMATUM
Real Battle Probably win Not Be
Staged Until Next Week-Antis De-
clare They VIII Secede.
BY Marie Moore.

Chicago, June 12.-Efforts of the
suffrage element in the twelfth bien-
nial convention of the General Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs, in session here,
to force an endorsement of a "votes
for women" resolution continued to-
day. The real battle, however, will not
be staged until Monday or Tuesday.
The suffragists were served with an
ultimatum today by the anti-suffragists.
"Pass the woman suffrage resolution,
and we will seeede from the fedora
tion," declared the opposition leaders.
Believe Have Majority.
Confident of majority, the suf-
fragists announced they were determ-
ined that the resolution should go
through, though they did not want to
disrupt the organization.
"But if the federation is silent, ,
they argued, "it will be interpreted
as reputation of woman suffrage, and
we fear the effect it would have on
congress and state legislators. -
Opponents of the resolution said that
while personally they favored equal
suffrage, they were opposed to its
adoption for the federation, because
"it is nothing more nor less than a
political question"
YAnd if the federation adopts this
resolution, it can be used as a political
machine" they added.
Mrs. Lillian Pray of California is one
of the leaders in the suffrage fight.

M'NARY FORCES AHEAD
IN SEE-SAW FOR BENCH
Situation of Yesterday Is Reversed and
No Man Knows What the Re-
suit will Be.
SALEM MAN DESIRES A JOINT
RE-CHEcK OF TALLY SHEETS
Law Says That Secretary of State Must
Announce Results of Counting
80 Days After Election.

The McNary- Benson teeter board
took another move last night with Ben
son on the descending end of it, and
the report this morning showed Nc
Nary one vote ahead. Since that time,
however, other reports are coming in
and the result is that at noon today the
situation of yesterday is exactly re-
versed and instead of Benson leading
by seven votes, McNary is that number
ahead. The counties in which errors
were found yesterday are as follows:
Yamhill, an error of two votes, giving
McNary that many; Baker, an error
which gives him one vote, and in Was
co, another by which he gains five
votes. This makes a total of eight
votes gained by MeNary, and places
him one in the lead. Today a report
from Harney county shows McNary
lost three votes and Benson gained one,
gain of four for BENSON, while Crook
county returns show a gain of ten for
McNary. Yesterday, on the announce
ment that Benson was seven ahead, he
stated that he was satisfied but JUS
tice McNary takes different view of
it and this morning made the follow
ing statement:
From advices at hand from num-
Der of counties where a re.check of the
tally sheets has been made, I appar-
emily am seven votes ahead of Judge
Benson, On account of the closeness
of the contest and the discrepancies
that have been found by re-check of
what was supposed to be the official
count, l feel / would not be justified
in making claim of the nomination
until Judge Benson and myself cause
joint recount to be made to aseer
tain the true situation and the will OF
the people, He has so informed
Judge Benson, but has received no re
I ply. 1t is probable this joint re
checking of the tally sheets IN all the
| counties will be made, for it is a short
job. In the meantime the law requires
that the secretary of state shall an
nOunce the results of his counting OF
the returns within 30 days after the
election, which would mean that the
announcement must be made tomorrow

Congressman Ainey Scored on His
UHerance Regarding the Atrocities
Said Committed by Rebel Leaders

Oakland, Cal, June 12.-That a mem
ber of the house on foreign affairs
committee could be so grossly ignorant
Of the real Mexican situation was the
subject of eaustie comment today by
Captain John T. Neville, former mill
tary aide to the late Governor Abram
Gonzales of the state of Chihuahua,
when informed of the interview given
out yesterday in Seattle by Congress
man Ainey of Pennsylvania. Ainey de-
clared taat the followers of CarTanza
and Villa are bandits and the perpe
traitors of all the criminal acts against
Americans that have occurred since the
fall of President MadeTo.
While the remarks of Congressman
Ainley are altogether untrue and un-
worthy of consideration, | think they
should be corrected so that the Amer
lean public will not use them as a
basis for an opinion on conditions in
Mexico, said Captain Neville "Out
of fairness for the Mexican eonstitu-
tionalists the interview should not go
unehallenged, as it is false from start

that he is babbling about something

STONE OF SCONE SMASHED
CORONATION CHAIR is RUINED.
King and Queen Are Heavily Guarded
by Detectives-of Officers Fear Mill
tants May Attempt Royal Lives.

London, June 2--The suffragette
bomb exploded yesterday under the
coronation chair in Westminster Abbey
smashed the historic piece of furniture
much more badly than was at first ad-
mitted, it was learned today.
This information was on the author
ity of Canon Westlake of the abbey,
who owned he had doubts whether the
chair could be repaired. 1t was believ-
ed also that the stone of the Scone,
on which 27 British rulers have been
crowned, was cracked and broken worse
than the abbey authorities had let the
public know.
Except for the Chapel of Edward
the Confessor, wherN the explosion oe-
Cured, the abbey was open today as
usual, but detectives swarmed in it.
There were also grave fears that
fresh attempts would be made by the
militants to molest the king and queen,
and both were heavily guarded.
A suffragette arson squad attempted
today to burn st. Margaret's church,
an ancient historical edifice at Chip
stead, 10 miles southeast Of London.
The pews were tarrcd or covered with
oil and set on fire in three places but
the flames were extinguished by the
villagers. -

that the followers of Carranza and vii
