she left her Maine home for Paris.

There were rumors OF reconciliation
when her husband appeared In Paris,
but those were denied by Mr.. Mackay.
1t now appears that the trip to Europe
of the two was in accordance with an
agreement when the separation suit OF
Mrs. Joseph A. Blake against DR.. Jo-

contest and Mrs. Blake dropped her
suit for Sl,0C0,000 against Mrs Mackay

said to have almost doubled it's worth.
He married Katherine Duer in 1898.
She is the descendant of an old Knick

request for support Of the equal suf-
frage constitutional amendment:
when my private opinion is asked
me am glad to give 1t, but am not
at liberty until speak for somebody
besides myself to urge legislation upon
congress"
When the tolls question came up. the
Kansas senator continued. it was not
brought before the president "by the
good women of the country. but by a
representative Of the English govern
nrent. whose action had been instigated
by the American and Canadian trans
continental railroads and British ship
ping interests"
TT is true that we have expended
about four hundred millions Of our own
money in constructing this canal on
our own territory, and that the demo-
cratic house Of representatives. a re-
publican senate by. an overwhelming
majority, Mr.. Taft. the president Of the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Accusing
President Wilson Of Inconsistency in
his views Of the binding effect Of the
democratic platform and charging that
greed Of the railroads and the audaci-
Gus claims Of Great Britain seem far
more potent with our president than
the appeal Of the wOmanhood Of the
nation" Senator Bristow. republican of
Kansas, turned discussion Of woman
suffrage in the senate yesterday into
vigorous debate on the proposed repeal
of the free tolls provision Of the Pan
anna canal act.
Senator Bristow's attack brought to
the defense Of the president several re-
publican az well as democratic sena-
tors, while 1t served also, as the signal
for opening the Tight within the dem
ocratic party against repeal of the tolls
exemption provision. Senator Cham
berlain Of Oregon. democrat, dramati-
cally declared that he would not "stul-
tify'' himself by telling his constituents
4hat he had not kept his platform
hedge on the toll question because the
president Of the United States does not
agree with me-"

the 6rst open discussion Of the ap-
preaching battle in congress over the
chief executives desire for reversal Of

himself engaged with leaders cS the
house Of representatives who are op-
posed to party platform. He discussed
the situation with Majority Leader I'm

North Carolina, but 20 far az could be
learned did not convert them to his
view that the provision granting the
Hay -Pauncefote treaty and en-
barrasses the administration in its for
eign relations.
Senator Bristow based his charge Of
inconsistency against the president on
the ground that he had told the suf-
frakists he could not advocate their
cause because the democratic party had
not expressed itself in the matter. while
he proposed that congress reverse it
self on the tolls question despite the
fact that the party had indorsed its ac-
don. y.,
