NEW YORK. March 10.-There was
a renewal Of yesterdays late buying
movement at the opening Of the cotton

generally two to five points lower
under scattering liquidation or real
fzing. Offerings. however. were very
readily absorbed around the opening
figures, and the active months sold
three to five points net higher during
the early trading on covering and bull
support.

sion that he has outgrown the feather

the Cleveland champion to bestow the
championship title on Cal Delaney, his

opens the way for Chavez TO step into

According to Ross, there is nothing

SUFFRAGE DEBATED
BY STATESMEN
IN NEW YORK
Colorado Senator and CaIifor-
MIA Congressman Champion
Right Of Women 10 Cast
Ballot,

New York. Jan 26.-lt would Do
unwise to force upon 10000 Amer
lean mothers and wives the right "a
vote in order that 1000, 600 women
wage earners might participate In
government, especially since "all his
tory shows that when women are en-
crossed ia public contests they be-
come vndiclive and mplcahle."
This was one Of the arguments
against equal suffrage advanced to-
night at "a debate ON the subject by
Everett T. Wheeler, chairman of the
executive committee of the New Yorl,
state Mems association opposed to
political suffrage for women
The debate was held under the aus.
pieces of the civic league. ON Mr..
Wheolers side argued Charles J.. Tn.
oerhin, formerly a member of the
Massachusetts legislature. Opposing
them were senator Charles S. Thomas,
OF Colorado. and Congressman VIII
liam Kent, Of California Mr.. Wheeler
maintained the rights of women were
amply guarded By the law and mod
crn religious and chiyalric ideals Z"
He granted, however that exceptional
women should be called to public ca
roers
Mr. Uuderhil argued similarly add
ing Chat much Of the agitation for
woman suffrage was being fostered by
designing politicians in The west who
hoped to profit BIZ the innovation.
Senator Thomas, speaking for wom-
an suffrage, said thar In Colorado
equal suffrage had been proved q sue
cess, lie claimed that women wera
he equal of men in every respect and
thought It unfair that woman should
exist In governmental scheme de-
yised and managed by man, The
question of equal suffrage, he said,
was not one of fitness SO much as of
Justice
Congressman Kent argued that
equal suffrage among males had not
been without drawbacks and that they
had shown much incapacity in gov
eminent and folly in political conduct
failinrs from which women in the
Fast had suffered without chance Of
redress.
