SUFFRAGlSTS ARE TO HOLD
DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE
Fail in Demand for Another Hearing
Before the House Rules
Committee.

Demand for another suffrage hearing
was made upon the House rules COM
mittee today by delegation Of twenty
members Of the Just Government
League, a suffrage organization of
Maryland, but no assurance was given
in the absence of the democratic party
caucus inclusion of suffrage in the
legislative program for the rest of the
session.
The delegation, including Mrs. George
W Latimer, Baltimore; Miss Anna
Heckner, the assistant chief of the
state child labor bureau, and Mrs. W.
j. Byrne of the Howard County, Md,
Suffrage League, called on Representa-
tive Henry of Texas. chairman of the
committee, and insisted upon an as
surance that a special rule permitting
the consideration of woman suffrage
measures at this session be reported
to the House. Mr.. Henry could not
grant this assurance in view of the
caucus limitation of the present legis-
lative program to antitrust legisla-
ton. He said his hands were tied and
that the party rules in such matters.
The same grounds. he said, forbade as
surance of another hearing this So
sion.
Then We will have to see that the
responsibility is placed on the demo-
cratic party at the next election" re-

Men who laid down their lives on the
affairs of their country's service he
said shine through all time as beacon
lights for true patriots, and this serv-

almost warlike aspect of our relations
with one country. is an occasion more

similar services we have held before.

this devotion should not only be of the

sHELTERING ARMS SERVICE
Provided by Rev. Donald B. MacLane
 and Choir from TaftviIIe.

Rev. D. B. MacLane and choir of Taftville Congregational church were at the Sheltering Arms Sunday after noon. After reading the 18th chapter ot John, the pastor spoke upon the characteristics of the three disciples mentioned, Judas, Peter and John. Ju- daS says nothing, he began, neither by his treachery. Nevertheless he stands condemned before Us as he did before Jesus. John speaks four little words: Lord, who is it? yet they speak vol umeS. Only a close friend would ask such a question. It shows that he was the beloved disciple. Peter says much more: I will lay down my life for Thy sake. That very night he will betray his Lord. Like John, let our hearts ring true to our lips. We may say little, let us be sure that we trust Jesus and love Him with all our strength Let US enter into the height and length and depth of the Masters s friendship.
 The musical part of the hour was especially beautiful. Miss Grace Green wood gave the soprano solo Not a My Shepherd was rendered by Miss Greenwood and Mrs. Hodl1inson. There were two anthems, Sing Praise to God and Lay My Sins on Jesus in the second Miss Annie Aberg took the solo parts. At the close of the service not sonly the hall but the rooms adjoining Fwere filled with the delightful music of the violin as Rev. D. B. MacLane gave three selections, closing with a Scotch air. Miss Nellie Howie was ac- companiSt.
 Many came in to the service. at it's close showing their appreciation and saying goodbye to MT MacLane.
