REGRETS FAILURE
OF CHINESE LOAN
American Asiatic Association
Re-elects Willard d. Straight
as President.

Reference 20 the failure OF tho
United States 10 have a share in the
so-called six-power Chinese loan was
made yesterday by Willard d. Straight,
president OF the American Asiatic As
ISOLATION, at its annual meeting in the
Chamber OF Commerce rooms. There
was regret in the presidents words. al
though later in his address he praised
the administration highly.
AT the present time. when European
nations are so terribly involved. and
when Japan IN consequence is exer-
cising virtually a dominant hand IN
China" he said, zone cannot but be
tempted TO wonder whether the United
States might not have been able 10
utilize a participation in the so-called
six-power loan, In the interest Of China
and the preservation VI the open door
for the worlds commerce.
Willard b. Straight was unanimously
elected president for another year,
with the following vice. presidents:
Lowell Lincoln, OF New York; Theo-
dore b. Wilcox. OF Portland, Ore; Alba
B. Johnson, Of Philadelphia; John b
Cleveland, Of Spartsnburg, s. c.; F.
Hellyer, of Chicago, and Ellison A.
Smyth, Of Pelzer, $. c. Albert Cordes

MISS STRACHAN TO
FIGHT ON FOR JOB
Saws She'll Be Candidate for EX-
ecutive Post as Long as
She Lives.

81 shall be a candidate for the posi-
tion Of associate superintendent as long
a ! live" said Miss Grace Strachan
last night, in reply to Mayor Mitchel's
statement that he did not desire her
election
The Mayor gave as his reason the
fear that Miss Strachan's appointment
would inject politics into the Board OF
Education" He believed IN the prin-
ciple Of equal pay. he added, but not IN
the methods which Miss Strachan and
the Interborough Association Of Wom-
en- Teachers used 10 bring it about.
Nobody Furnishes the men teachers
for their political activities" said Miss
Strachan. "The president Of the Asso-
citation of Men Teachers and Prlncl-
pals, who has supported at least three
bills at Albany since the equal pay bill
was passed, has been promoted to the
position Of associate superintendent
since then. That is the same position
for which ! am applying.
"The political activities Of the WON
en- teachers at that time are public
property. Everybody knows what we
did, and the Mayor of New York and
the Governor Of the state knew, when
they signed the bills which were the
result of that activity. 1t was not the
women teachers alone, but 100000 tax
payers, who wanted equal pay.
at seems proper that in a city where
there are 1900 women teachers and
more than 100000 schoolgirls there
should be at least one woman to repre-
sent their interests in high executive
position."

From The Tribune Bureau

lBy Telegraph to The Tribune !


Rochester, Oct. 15.-Enthusiasm and
harmony have increased in the suf-
Prague convention, and the third day

as never before. A suffrage club mem
Der of twenty-five years standing says:
The poor 'antis' will have to rely on

der of the sum needed is apportioned
among the districts, and a money rails
ing campaign is to be undertaken dur
ing the last two weeks in October.
The greater part Of the day was
given 10 business-like discussion of
how TO work. Every problem facing
the field worker was brought under
discussion, from the best methods of
enlightening the editorial anti-mind to
the control Of very small troublesome
children.
Frau Rosika Schwimmer, the leader
OF Hungarian suffragists, has been
striking personality during the con-
vention. Her vivid and impassioned
speaking has brought her many differ
ent types OF invitations. She addressed
the Sons of Veterans and the Daughters
OF the American Revolution, and was
covered with medals by her audience
The head master of the West High
School urgently invited her to speak
70 his school, and yesterday afternoon
hundreds Of children had vivid pictures
of helpless mothers and children in the
fatherless homes of Europe brought
before them.
Novel methods Of propaganda were
proposed in convention. Moving pict-
ures, lantern shows and victrola rec
ords were brought in. No form of APP
peallng 70 the eye, ear or Imagination
OF the New York public is TO be left

LAUDS TWILIGHT SLEEP"
DR.. H. 7. Allen Says Ameri'
cans Have Best Method.

Speaking before the forty-eighth an
rual convention Of the Homeopathic
Medical Society of the State Of New
York yesterday, DR.. Herbert I. Allen,
of the Cumberland Street Hospital,
Brooklyn, declared that the American
method Of administering twilight
sleep" in childbirth is superior to that
employed in Europe. I'LL
lie said that the use Of nitrous oxide
and oxygen has given better results
than the use of scopolamine, which the
European physicians advocate. "Under
this method" DR.. Allen continued, the
patient is not really asleep, and a con-
versation can be married on without
difficulty" ,.-.
DR.. LOOMS L. Danforth, discussing
the European system, said that his OBJ
rate through childbirth is much lower
when twilight sleep" is employed than
under ordinary methods.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN
TO CATCHPOLE JONES
Greenwich Stirred by Row Be-

on Right Of Way.

Greenwich, Conn, Oct. 15.-"Wha.
Happened to Jones" is the town slogan
to-day, for that constabulary terror to
evildoers was again evicted from Judge
William l.. Tierney's court when he
sought TO arraign a prisoner. The
court held that as he had been ad-
judged in contempt on Tuesday he had
no right TO make arrests until NE had
purged himself or been purged Of con-
tempt.
George 7. Jones. who was a painter
before he obtained the prefix con-
stable, has engaged Walsh & Wright,
town counsel, to regain his standing
before the law. He blames politics for
his predicament, and says he fully ex-
poets TO go to jail before the tangle IL
unravelled.
Judge Tierney wants to be probate
Judge, and at Mondays Democratic
caucus he had opposition from Deputy
Judge William J. Ferris. Jones, who
had dragged former Judge Charles b.
Burns from the bench after Governor
Baldwin had appointed Tierney and
Burns had refused TO vacate, sided with
Ferris. That same night he refused to
liberate a prisoner on the word of q
clerk sent by Judge Tierney. The next
DAY he was in contempt.
After being put out he told a group
Of sympathizers that he proposed 20
continue enforcing the law, contempt
or no contempt. So to-day he appeared
in court with a prisoner. The court
scene followed.

CULEBRA SLIDE
BLOCKS CANAL
North of Gold Hill 1900
Feet Slumps Into
the Channel.

Panama, Oct. IA serious land
lide on the east side of the Panama
Canal at Culebra, north Of Gold Hill,
occurred during the night. Traffic has
been of necessity stopped, and Colonel
Gnethals could not say to-day when
the Canal would again be navigable.
1t is hoped that a few days will give
sufficient time in which to reopen the
waterway.
A preliminary survey to-day showed
that the slide extended for distance
Of about 800 feet north Of Gold Hill
and started on a line from 90 to 100
feet from the edge of the canal. II Is
not possible as yet to estimate the
amount of rock and dirt that entered
the channel, but it is declared that 1t
must have been many thousand cubic
yards.
1t was first reported that there had
been movements from both sides of
the canal, but this proved to be I'M
true.
A large mass Of trap rock, mixed
with loose earth, sloughed into the
channel. There was no disturbance al
Cucaracha.
Colonel Goethals declared that nc
was unable to say when the channel
again would be navigable, but he hoped
il would be within few days. An &C
curate survey is being made to deter
mine the extent of the dredging neces-
sary. The debris now virtually fills
the channel to the west bank, and the
bottom of the channel also is being
forced up by the weight along the east
bank.
The slide began at late hour yes
terdav afternoon and became serious
during the night, when the main move
ment was observed.
-Four vessels at Cristobal and two at
Balboa have been delayed, awaiting
the opening of new channel. All the
available dredges already have been
nut to work TO clear out the water
way.

MISS PANKHURST
CHAMPIONS STORK
Treatment of Teacher
Mother Is Medieval,
She Asserts.

Miss Christabel Pankhurst, the Eng
lish militant suffragist, came TO the
aid of Mrs. Lora Wagner, the Staten
Island militant teacher-mother, in an
interview yesterday. She expressed the
opinion that the policy of the Board
of Education was reactionary and
medieval.
at is against the interests of the
nation TO prevent the birth of good
citizens" said Miss Pankhurst at the
Political Equality League, 10 West dist
st. at seems 10 me to be very incon-
sistent TO give men leave of absence
to go away TO fight for their country
and 10 refuse women leave of absence
to bear children for their country.
That is just the mans point of view.
Wen change all that when we get the
vote"
"As for the possible injustice to the
children il their mothers have any
other interest in life except them, my
opinion is that children are often more
devoted to such mothers. They are a
great inspiration to their children
There were no developments in
the Wagner case yesterday. The
teacher-mother attended her classes
as uSuHl. NO move was maui W WV
Board of Education against her.
Miss Pankhurst spent the day IN
making arrangements for her meeting
in Carnegie Hall. She said that while
she would not go out OF her way to
attack Germany she didn't see how
she could speak as an ardent Britisher
without seeming TO favor the Allies.
"The victory Of the Allies will hasten
women's votes, while German victory
would put us back for great many
years." she said. "Feminism IS dor
mant in Germany. In our own coun-
try | am sure we shall win the vote
as soon as the war is over.
"The women Of Great Britain and
the United States, with their votes, Will
be able to keep their two countries at
peace.
al do not say that English speaking
women can prevent another war war
will end only when women are entran-
chised all over the world"
Miss Pankhurst denied that her ar
rival was associated with the adver-
tised address of Mrs. Pethick Lawrence
on October 30. Mrs. Lawrence IS the
leader of an anti-Pankhurst society IN
London. Miss Pankhurst said yester-
day that she had not known that MIS-
Lawrence was to speak here when she
suddenly decided to see America while
she had chance.
Mrs. Mary Ford, formerly Brook
Ign teacher, was indicted by the Kings
County, Grand Jury yesterday on
charges of grand larceny and forgery.
Mrs. Ford was forced to leave her po--
sition when her child was born. and
the desertion of her husband left her
penniless.
Payroll checks, the Board of Educa-
tioon charges, were filled in by Mrs.
Ford and cashed, about 800 being
raised in this way. Mrs. Ford insists
that the Board Of Education is guilty,
as, she asserts, it took away her en-
ployment at a time when she needed it
most. The woman was held in $4,000
bail.
