SAYS WOMAN SUFFRAGE
IS PRACTICAL QUESTION
Rev. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw Ad-
dresses International Council
of Women in Rome.

ROME. May 13.-Rev. DR.. Anna How
ard Shaw of New York today delivered
a striking address on woman suffrage
at public meeting under the auspices
of the International Council of Women.
DR.. Shaw said the first duty of patriotic
women is to bring the practical life of
governments into harmony with the fun
damental principle Of justice which de-
mands that the laws governing the people
give equal privileges and equal oppor-
tunities to all regardless of sex.
During the past five years, she said.
woman suffrage has grown from an ac-
ademic to a practical question. and all
political parties have realized that it is
one with which governments must speed
lily deal. She declared that the growth
of the suffrage movement has been proved
in several ways:
Is Now Much Discussed.
First-The changed attitude of the peo-
pie, in that woman suffrage has become
the most frequent subject of conversation
everywhere, while the press gives more
space to it in its news and editorial col
umns than to any other political or
moral reform
Second-Political parties rejecting the
popular mind vie with each other in
seeking the support of women by insert
ing woman suffrage planks In their pro-
grams as they know that no party can
be successful when women organize
against it.
| Third-During the past two years the
subject of woman suffrage has been be-
| fore every parliament in every nation ex-
| cept Turkey, while in the United States
! 1t has been one of the most important
questions of debate.
| Fourth-More nations and states have
| granted the vote to women during the
past five years than in any five years in
history.
| After Mr. Shaw's address the follow
| ing resolution was passed:
| Realizing the rapidly changing char
acter of the problems that must now be
considered by governments and seeing
that these problems increasingly af-
! feet the moral. educational and in
dustrial life of the people. women rec
! ognize their responsibility in the ma
| tional life. and the International Coun-
ell of Women therefore reaffirms it's
earnest belief that the right to vote at
parliamentary and local elections
| should be given to women in all coun-
tries where representative government
| exists.

CAPTURE Of TAMP|CO
IS EXPECTED TODAY
Heavy Firing Resumed at Midnight
and Rebels Look for Fall of City,
Says Admiral Mayo.

Heavy firing at Tampico was resumed
at midnight, and the constitutionalists
say that they expect to capture the city
today, according to a dispatch received
at the Navy Department from Admiral
Mayo. He reported that 1.-The general
impression seems to be that the expecta-
tions of the constitutionalists will be re-
allied"
This was reported in a dispatch from
Admiral Badger transmitting advices re-
ceived by him from Admiral Mayo lying
off Tampico as late as ; clock this
morning.
The admiral says that the heavy
firing around Tampico stopped about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. He reports
further that the constitutionalists. so
tar as can be aScertained. have used
only one field gun which was fired at
long intervals. Apparently reliable in
formation from the scene of fighting is
to the effect that the constitutionalists
at one time advanced their lines and tenn
porarily occupied some of the federal
trenches Admiral Mayo said it was
reported that the casualties on both
sides have been very heavy.

AS soon as he had said 1t, he
knew that this was not well ad-
vised. She smiled; but did not
enlighten him.
Il think you ought to dispose
of the breakfast dishes now" he
said.
She picked up the tray meekly.

asked.

in the least the ideal footing for
them to be on. A Irritation with
this girl would produce an intol-
cradle situation. She was in the
employ of the woman he had
every reason to believe was his
wife. The only solution of the
problem was to tell her he was
married.
His opportunity came very
soon. That evening for dinner
she baked biscuit, which she took
doubtfully to him to taste.

He gazed after her with inter-
est.
His experience with women
had been rather spasmodic and
unexciting. IL during all his
young manhood there had been
no girls whatever in the world.
IL would have left no gap in his
life.
He was therefore surprised to
find himself taking pleasure in
the presence of Miss Grey. II
was comfortable to have her con-
slider his wants and pleasures, to
have her hustle up on deck when
IL grew cooler in the evening and
insist, with an air of motherly
concern, that he put on the
sweater she had rooted out of one
of the lockers below.
He felt, as he had never felt In
the case of any other woman, her
physical charm. Her round,
white arms, which the rolled-up
sleeves left bare. pleased him.

cries, she came running back with
a burn on her wrist. She carried
a package of soda and a piece of
muslin in her hand.

She knelt down before him and
put the soda and the muslin and

up the injured member carefully.

This point was well taken, but II

into a turmoil.
IL was generally acknowledged
that il the yawl were afloat II

was also acknowledged that

they must have travelled a distance
of about fifty or sixty miles.
When. therefore, the several ex-
petitions that went to the rescue
failed to find her within a radius
of fifteen miles of a spot fifty
miles south-by-east of Lugger
island. and the life-saving service
failed to report any vessel ashore,
there was but one inference to be
drawn. She had gone down. At
the end of the second day that
was the accepted version.
The morning of the third day
old Mr.. Still appeared in the Gil
pins sitting room.
Mrs. Gilpin," he said in his
metallic voice, Il believe you have
a map of this part of the coast
prepared by the Geodetic Sur
vey."
The map was produced, and
without word he tucked it un-
der his arm and disappeared down
the sandy street.
"He wants to play with IL, !"
Mrs. Gilpin confided irritably to
her husband. He will be back
i'm an hour with a pin stuck in the
exact spot where the yawl went
down"
And true to her prediction he
did return within the hour, but
not with a pin stuck In the map.
Instead he had traced the prob
able course of the wind-driyen
sailboat TO the spot where IL
must have been when the storm
ceased. Then he showed that the
current there set eastward-it
was marked on the map-and
would have carried the boat far
out to sea and away from the
spot where everyone was looking
for it.
So insistent was the old man
that to satisfy him Gilpin said he
would go out with Willy in the
launch and convince himself
whether the yawi Was there or
not.
Early in the afternoon, there
fore, the launch left the wharf.
All night the inhabitants of Lug
ger island strained their eyes for
sight of the returning craft. But

the stove, and matches.
With this working material
they prepared the first of what
appeared likely to be a long series
of meals. For he figured that
they must be sixty miles out at
sea, and, with light winds, his
rather rusty seamanship, and
their lack of knowledge as to
their bearings, it might take
three or four days to return to

The next morning the sea was
like glass. Both Brooke and Miss
Grey had slept during the night
in spite of thier weary anxiety
perhaps because of il.
Brooke awoke when the sun
was rising. The yawl was notion

dead calm. When Miss Grey

whereupon she plunged in. He
watched her come up and swim

There's a bathing suit under

Brooke found the suit and in a
few minutes he was splashing in
the water beside her. 1t was a
pleasant way of starting off a
shipwreck day, and Brooke ad-
mired the ease and poise with
which Miss Grey carried off the
unconventional sitution. He had
decided the night before that she
would feel considerable embar-
rassment over the whole affair.

they were not used to such pub

CONTINUED From Yesterday
They all tropped down to the
boat landing and made the launch
fast. There was a steady rumble
of far distant thunder.
"How long before the storm
will be here?" asked Brooke of
the captain.
I'm ten minutes nobody'il need
a sunshade," he replied.
Brooke stopped doubtfully at
the edge of the landing.

Gilpin grinned. That's right, !"
he urged; save the women first. -
Brooke went on alone. The
evidences of a real storm became
more pronounced as he pro-
ceeded. He saw he would have to
hurry to get Mrs. Brooke back
dry-shod to the house before the
storm broke. He looked across
toward the sea and saw the rain
i. coming. A momentary lull, and
great torrents of water descended.
Instantly his clothing was
soaked. The lightning flashed
and the thunder banged. For the
moment he stood perfectly still.
Then the consciousness that he
was there for a purpose aroused
him and he pushed ahead. When
he came to the shore of the chan
mel he was astonished. The yawl
, was drifting stern foremost away
from shore out to the rough
water!
Was she aboard, or had she re-
turned at the approach of the
storm? He thought he should
have seen her had she returned.
At any rate It was too great a
chance to run. He decided to go
aboard, lady or no lady.
lie noted that the boat was
drifting slowly, her anchor drag
ging in the mud. Brooke kicked
off his shoes, and plunged into
the waves.
The waves rolled him over
when they struck him. II It had
not been for the lively current
he would never have reached the
yawl. AS it was, it carried them
both along together until present.

grasped the ratlines, and with one
mighty heave drew his dripping
form up on the bowsprit.

bowsprit, he began to attack the
wet knots of the stops on the jib.
He did not even try to find out IL
Mrs. Brooke was aboard, so deep
was he in the scheme of getting
enough steerageway on the craft
to run her ashore on the island
before she could drift out into
the open sea.

drew it up briskly to the mast
