City to attend the meeting Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
Or. Harris said last night: After the
trust bill has been disposed Of. the next
most important piece OF constructive
legislation that the present adminIstra-
ton can accomplish is the establishment
of a national department Of health with
a member If the Cabinet at its head. The
medical profession Of the country Is
practically a unit on the needs for such
a department, and the American Medical
Association. the Southern Medical Assn-
citation. and practically all the State medl-
cal societies have indOrsed the move
ment."
Great movements for the betterment
of mankind always develop great leaders
and that the work of Surg Gen. GorEas
in Havana and on the Canal Zone not
only developed the man to head tie pro-
posed department of health, in which all
classes of American citizens are inter
ested. but that the United States owes il
10 Gorgas to create q position in public
health work of greater honor than now
exists.
of course Surg. Gen. Gorgas is needed
at the head Of the Medical Corps of the
army until the Mexican situa ton is solv-
cd. but Congress will not take up the
creation Of the new department until the
next session"

AND THE BRIDES SANG
THEIR WEDDING SONG
AT Door of Picturesque Cabin in Rock
Creek Park Young Couple
Is Betrothed.

If a little bird told you. he knew all
about it, for beside the warblers in
Rock Creek Park early yesterday
morning to witness the marriage cere-
mony of Marcus Matthias and Rachel
Jones, performed by the Rev. Alfred
f. BarrOws. there were only a few in
timate friends and the parents of the
bride.
At the dawn of the longest day Of
the year, symbolic of a married life as
long. as happy. and beautiful as a
June day, these two plighted their
troth and exchanged rings in the old
German ceremony at the door of the
picturesque Joaquin Miller's cabin, in
Rock Creek Park. Then to break the
spell Of the unworthy ceremony. the
young couple. both aged twenty
climbed into a big red Limousine and
were whIsked to Union Station to take
a train for a honeymoon in parts
known only to them.
The couple has no reason to give for
choosing this ideally beautiful place in
which TO be married except that they
wanted a simple wedding far away
from the close churches and the draw
ing rooms Of the city.
\ wedding breakfast was served to
the couple and a few of their friends
at the home of the brides parents. at
14O1 7 street northwest. They will re-
turn TO Washington after their honey
moon to settle here permanently.

THRIFT SOCIETY WANTS
FUND FOR CONCLAVE
Requests Congressional Hearing to
Show Why $4,000 Should Be
Given to Aid Cause.

The American Society for Thrift has
requested a hearing before the Senate
Committee on Appropriations to explain
why its wants an appropriation OF $1,000
for the holding OF an international con-
gress for thrift at San Francisco during
the Pan-AmeriCan Exposition.
s. W. St-aus. Of Chicago. president Of
the Thrift Society, will present the argu-
ment in behalf Of the proposition. Those
back Of the proposed international con-
gress take the ground that the eXpendi-
ture Of $4,000 by the government will
be repaid to the government thousands
of times over as soon as the public ap-
preciates the value of the teachings OF
the Thrift Society The object Of the
organization is TO promote individual as
well as national economy. and the So
ciety, in all its propaganda and plans
for disseminating its doctrine, goes on
the theory that national economy can
be accomplished only after the individual
has been taught the value and proper
use of money. 1t is for this reason that

stale and anxious for a change. but they

CALLS SUFFRAGE
|. NO BAN ON drink
Miss Lucy Price, Campaigner
for the Ants, Says Cause
Does Not Check "Wets."
MAKES GRAVE CHARGE
Shows Where Nevada Sufragists
Courted Support of the
Liquor Interests.

That woman suffrage in no way acts as
a check on the consumption Of liquor and
that, in one case at least, the suffragists
have come out oficiany with a request
for political aid from the liquor interests
and with a promise not to fight that in
dustry. is the glst of a statement issued
Yesterday over the signature Of Miss
Lucy ). Price, one of the leading cam
paign speakers OF the anti-suffragists.
The statement, which was put out by
Miss Price through the Washington head
quarters of the National Association op'
posed to Woman Suffrage. follows:
''One of the great arguments Of the
suffrage speakers is that votes for women
mean dry territory. We have cOntended
all along that this was a fallacy.
Published n Statement.
"Our contention is borne out by the fact
that Mrs NJ S. Bonnifeld and Mrs. S.
C. Lamb. president and secretary, respec-
lively of the Woman's Equal FRANCHISE
Society. in Winnemucca, New, signed and
had published in a newspaper In thai
town the following amazingly frank read
ing notice:
To whom it may concern: The i'm
preston is prevalent among a number
in this community that the members of
the Woman Equal Franchise Society are
fighting the liquor interests. Rumors
reach US every little while that We are
seeking suffrage for the express purpose
Of closing all saloons. While II is graft
flying TO the vanity to learn that there are
some who fear We can accomplish at one
fell stroke what the prohibitiOnists have
vainly attempted for a decade, we feel
NO roYrf o suhfPrt straight before
the public.
The Woman's Equal Franchise So
ciety is not a political. party nor is it
allied with any of the existing parties.
We have no quarrel with the existing
order Of things, saloons or otherwise. We
are simply asking for the right to vote,
because we think II but justice TO have
a voice in the government we help to
support II we secure this privilege, We
are bound by no promise and will exercise
our right according to individual con-
science. Some of the men interested in
the saloon business here have shown
us not only the great courtesy, but have
helped US in various ways.
Vote I'm San Francisco.
IF the persons who circulate these
stories will look up the history of States
that have given women the ballot we
think they will find they are not any
dryer" than they wer before. Utah
and Colorado. where women have voted
for years. are not prohibition States. San
Francisco voted on the liquor question
last year after women were admitted
to the polls and went wet by a large
majority.
We could cite many more examples
if We had time and space. All We ask
is the truth. Give us a square deal "

Washington Attorney, Who
Is a Friend Of Secretary
Bryan. Discounts Stories
of Rebel Split.
Ry THoNAs Il. sIMPsoN.

A good many men. in what are called
official circles, and some who are out
side of such bounds. think the absence
of friction in the relations of the Statt
Department and the Mexican constitu'
tionaIists is largely due to the fact thai
the rebels intermediary is Charles A
Douglas.
Mr. Douglas is a good lawyer, a good
Democrat. and a good friend of Secre'
tsry Bryan. and some persons there are
who attribute his successful handling
of Gen. Carranza's affairs with the state
Department, to these particular qualities
especially to the last two.
On the other hand, however. a lot oi
people will tell you that Mr.. Douglas
being Democrat and his friendship for
Mr.. Bryan have nothing to do with II
and il YOU were to ask Mr.. Bryan OF
Mr. Douglas such a question you prob,
ably would be set back about ten yards
for Offside play.

But, carefully excluding the subjects
of Democracy and his friendship for Mr.,
Bryan. II you were to ask Mr.. Douglas
how il is that he has kept the con-
stitutionaIists and the State Department
from making sparks every time they
meet he'd probably tell you that what he
is has nothing to do with il, either. The
secret. he probably would say. lies in
what he is not, And, that is TO say, that
he is able to handle the delicate affairs
Of his client with the State Department.
because he is not bull in China shop.
Well, be that as it may. Mr.. Douglas
had no finger in any corner of the MeXi-
can pie until last January. and since then.
notwithstanding the stUbbornness of Gen.
Carranza, there has been no serious break
which was not soon healed.
Right now things seem to be running
a bit crosswise as concerns the rebels and
Mr.. Douglas is plainly worried over the
split between Gen. Villa and Gen. Car
rama, the former the military chief with
the real power-men and guns and bullets
the latter the supreme chief with the
political power. which is no power at all
unless you have the men and guns and
bullets with which to back IL up.
Mr.. Douglas, of course, won't admit
that he's worried about the split: he
won't even admit that there is split;
but he does say that a lot Of perverted

ington lawyers. for more Latin-American
revolutions than you ever heard Of. But
Mr.. Douglas is the only constit1tionalist
representative who deals directly with
the State Department.
II was largely due to Mr. Douglas
efforts that President Wilson lifted the
embargo. which had kept the rebels
from getting munitions from the United
States. Incidentally. Mr.. Douglas, in
speaking Of this feat, likes to correct the
popular impression that the embargo
was established by Mr.. Wilson. He al
ways points out that the embargo was
a relic Of the Taft administration. though
he has not been heard saying that Il
was troublesome relic. which he prob
ably believes.
How He Was EngaEed.
Senior Cabrera. to repeat. engaged Mr..
Douglas last January. Senior Cabrera
was a stranger in the United States and
he didn't know any lawyers in Wash
ington or anybody in Washington who
knew any lawyers here. So he went to
New York and there consulted a prom
inent member OF the bar" about II. and
the p. NJ. o. T. b. recommended Mr.
Douglas on the ground that he is not a
bull in a china shop. OF course. the
prominent member OF the bar may have
mentioned certain other qualifications
but II he did nobody knows about It save
SenOr Cabrera and two or three others
And that is how Mr.. Douglas came to be
the rebel intermediary 10 Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Douglas first leaped into fame in
Washington through his defense of Mrs.
Lola Ada Bonine. who was acquitted OF
murder in 1901. Since then people often
speak Of Mr.. Douglas as the great Grim

things that make him hot under the COL

Mrs. Bonine's name and she was ac-

best to make a split between the consti-

here, but M. Douglas wasn't really quite
so alliterative as all that.

What he did say yesterday to a Herald
reporter is that the differences between

been perfectly and permanently settled,
so that now the 'constitutionalists present
