FOR DISCUSSION
OF COMMITTEE REPORT TO-DAI

At the request of Mrs. Mccormick
the delegates refraincd from asking
questions concerning the committees
work during the presentation OF the
| report. AT tomorrow's session, op-
portunity will be given for discussion
OF the report and the methods en-
ployed by the committee. Predictions
were made by number of the leaders
that this discussion may bring sharply
TO the fore the issue between the ad-
ministration element and the Congress
sional Union faction.
While the time was short for any eX-
tended debate on the report after Its
presentation was complete, yet a num-
Der Of the delegates made remarks
limited to a few minutes each, which
indicated the division of the suffragist
ranks on the subject.
Mrs. Harriet stanton Batch, of New
Work. asserted her belief that the
Shafroth amendment would not be con-
stitutional il adopted. Mrs. Theresa
Crowley, of Boston. declared the com
mittec had made a mistake in putting
Senator Lodge on is BLACK list" be-
cause. she said, that action aroused
the Senator's antaSonism. Miss Kate
NJ. Gordon, of New Orleans, and Mrs.
Maud Wood Park, of Boston. expressed
their belief that efforts to obtain suf-
fragc through State amendments were
moro important than work on behalf
OF the Federal amendment plan.
On the other side. Miss NJ. Carey
Thomas, of Bryn A[awr: Mrs. Ernest
Thompson Seton, of Connecticut, and
Miss Mary Winsor, OF Pennsylvania.
commended the work of the congress
sional committee, and asserted their
faith in the advisability of striving

PADGETT Denies GRAFT

House Chairman Makes Savage At.
tack on Small Navy" Group in
Defending Officers.

debate on the naval appropriation
bill that melted Democratic orators to
indulge In bitter exchanges and recrimi.
nations was staged in the House yester-
day. 1t was provoked by Representative
Padgett. OF Tennessee. Democratic chair
man OF the House Committee on Naval
Affairs, who made a savage attack upon
the small navy members OF his party
Mr.. Padgett defended officers Of the
navy. repudiatins the imputation that
these Officers were "grafters' and that
they grated. as charged by Representa-
tive Witherspoon. of Mississippi, a Demo-
crat, As q means OF building I'D the
naval establishment. Chairman Padgett
lashed the small navy group for an
hour or more. and he was enthusiastically
applauded by members on both sides OF
the chamber.
Chairman Padgett was angry when he
took the floor to speak II stand here
to repel these insinuations against the
naval officers of the United States" he
declared. Who are these officers and
from whence do they come? Do they not
spring from, the best families in the
land? Have we not committed to them
the honor OF our country? Have We not
placed in their hands the Tag. the en-
olem OF our sovereignty. and the symbol
OF our power? And yet, when We come
to the little question Of how many ships
We are to have. the question OF what is
needed in the way OF new construction
their motives are to be questioned, their
honor Is TO be torn down. and they are
to be branded as men moved by an un-
holy purpose. and conspirators in an un-
holy cause
Representatives witherspoon and Hens
ley. OF Missouri, had charged that naval
officers and others interested had pur-
posely underrated the strength of the
American navy in order to obtain more
appropriations for 1t. They charged that
navy officers had classified the American
navy below that Of Germany in strength,
whereas, the small navy members as
serted the United States actually ranked
ahead Of Germany as a naval power.
Beginning his speech. Chairman Pad
gett said that the debate has been
unique, that 1t had been filled with state
ments which ought never to have been
made. including charges and insinua-
tions mad innuendoes OF bad faith ard
bad purposes"
Time and again Witherspoon and Hens
ley tried to interrupt Mr.. Padgett. who
scornfully waived them aside. Later in
the debate witherspoon and Hensley did
make reply. reiteratinE charges they had
previously made.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels took
practically the same attitude. Both.
however. announced that no changes in

army and navy were being made. and
that no new orders went out following

Maurice Leon, expert on internation-
al law and counsel for the French En-
bassy. In an interview last night said:
7 cannot see how the United States
can agree to mediation without auto
matically recognising Huerta as the
legal head OF the Mexican government.
The action Of the President. as re-
ported to me, 10 certainly without
precedent, II II is proposed to have the
mediators take into consideration the
underlying causes of our grievance
against Mexico. The same holds true
II the mediators are to consider what
form Of government, and by whom,
Mexico 10 to be governed in the future.
If It is proposed that the mediators
merely are TO determine the reparation
Mexico should make for an insult to the
American rag, ! fail TO see what good
will be accomplished toward a final
settlement OF the general disorder in

This was strikingly pointed out in re-
