CHICAGO MEETING
PennybaCker, Presiding
at Opening Convention SeS-
sion, Denies intention to
Smother Votes Resolution.

CHICAGO. June lathe General
Federation OF WOmen's clubs has rec
ognized woman suffrage. This epoch
making event was heralded when the
biennial convention began its session
today. Mrs P. v. Pennybacker. the
president, making the announcement
from the stage.
With this great point gained, advo-
Gates OF woman suffrage are joyOusly
acclaiming victory, as they profess to
see In tOday's action. a recognition of
the fact that the federation, as a body.
cannot stem the tise that is sweeping
on towards votes for women, and that
early next week II will be announced
to the world that the general fedora
ton endorses the right of women to
vet.
Il would like to answer some sew
enteen different questions which hare
been asked me-" said Mrs. Penny
hacker, after the biennial had been
called 10 order. They resolve into
one question and that is.
Us the policy OF the administration
TO smother the resolution regarding
suffrage? The answer is no. 1t is not
the policy Of the administration to
smother the suffrage resolution. The
administration Is only too happy to
fat the logical Outgrowth OF what you
frage question Will be presented.
Our only policy is privileges TO
none. Equal rights 10 all"
Applause Bursts Out.
The annOuncemen was greeted with
wild applause and the waving OF ban
ners which continued for several min
utes despite the warning whackS from
the presidents gavel.
Mrs Pennybacker later announced
that the resolution would be ready to
come up for discussion probably some
time tomorrow. First il Will pass
through the educational board, headed
by Airs. o. Sheppard Barnum. of Al
hamhra. Cal. This committee has a
subcommittee on political science
headed by Miss Helen Narick Bos-
we'll OF New York. From there il will
be referred go the resolutions commit
tee which viii report il TO the general
convention.
The resolution Will not have smooth
sailing in the voyage through the par
liamentary sea Of the federation In
fact there viii be a great deal OF oppo-
sitiOn, but the suffrage leaders are
already counting on victory. Much
OF the opposition Will come from the
women OF the south. Their objection
will be based upon the same reasoning
that causes their husbands 10 oppose
equality at the polls-the negro vote.
The southern women claim that the
negro vote. both male and female. Is
a state question, and not a national
issue.

"Our arrangements are going ahead
rapidly. We now are discussing the To-

TAFT LEAVES CAPITAL
FOR new HAVEN TODAY
Former President Suffers from Cold,
Which Puts Damper on Brief
Visit Here.
PLEASURE BEING PROFESSOR

Former President Taft arrived in
Washington yesterday morning to con-
suit a doctor. to attend a meeting Of
the Lincoln Memorial Commission. and
to take dinner with Mr.. Justice Lamar.
of the United States Supreme Court
He leaves for his home In New Haven
this morning
Prof. Taft does not think much of
the boosted comforts Of modern travel
for he contracted cold that put
damper on his day in Washington
day that he usually devotes to calling
en- old friends and to his fsvorite game
OF golf. which he seldom misses when
he comes back to the Capital
But the smile that Washington grew
to know was Just as quick and ex-
pansive as ever, albeit the laugh that
accompanied IL was a tribe husky.
Prof. Taft showed the effect Of his in
DISPOSITION He seemed thinner than
usual But he explained that he was In
excellent health. except for the cold. He
told of his work with the Yale law STU
dents. and asserted that the work became
ever more Of a pleasure. He said that IL
beat ''presidenting.
1T is a beautiful work, and will prob
bly, continue in II as long as i live" he
where he was a guest. 1T Is quiet and
peaceful, something that cannot be said
of a stay in the White House. i did not
realize at the time i was President that
I had a nerve in my body. but after
left I saw that the strain had told on
me-"
One of the many trials of a President
of the United States, according to Mr..
Taft. Is the necessity for the constant
guard OF secret service men when he ap-
pears in public.
Mr. Taft agreed that. although the
strain Of responsibility had been consider
able, his administration had been fortu-
nate in escaping some Of the perplexities
that have bodied up since.
THE foreign situation was not so per-
picking as IL Is now. / was fortunate in
that" ne said with a coneented smile.
The next visit of Mr.. Taft to Washing
ton will be February q, when he will

Rome, Cuba, and the Panama Canal

ton from Miss Elizabeth Van Lew, OF
Richmond, who during the war proved
herself a constant friend of the Union
by aiding escaped prisoners and by volun-
tariIy acting as a spy for the Federal
commanders
On January 30 Miss Van Lew had sent
a message to Gen. Butler informing him
that the Federal prisoners in Richmond
were soon to be sent to Georgia. and that
two of the brigades constituting the
guard of the city had been sent away
for other service. The messenger carry
ing this correspondence, a young negro,
told Gen. Butler that a Union man in
Richmond had said that the city could
be taken more easily then than at any
time in the war.
Davis Slave TO Guide.
This information moved Gen. Butler to
action. After urging Cen John Sedgwick,
temporarily commanding the Army Of
the Potomac in the absence of Gen.
Meade on a brief leave, to divert the
attention of the Confederates by a feint

tar depended upon prompt execution for
success. The cavalry was to dash up the
Peninsula on February and, coming up
to Bottoms Bridge at o'clock the next
morning, to capture the picket there be-
fore they could raise an alarm. This done
they were to proceed into the city, over
the Williamsburg turnpike.
Once in the city. which ii was planned
to reach at daybreak. the party was to
be guided by a negro who had been
gardener to jefferson. Davis and who had
escaped TO the Union lines a short time
before.
Detachments were to make their way to
the residences OF the President and Cabi-
net officers and take them from their
beds: other detachments were to visit the
prisons and release the Federal confined
there. The main force was to remain in
Capitol square until rejoined by the par
ties told of to do the specific work OF the
raid.
1t is possible that the expedition had in
view also the destruction OF Richmond by
fire, for in one of his notes to Gen. Butler.

In consequence Of this information the
forces on all the approaches to Rich

was rendered impa ssable by the removal
Of the .plankinG and the fords Of the

sion already has left for Calumet and
Hancock. Mich, to attend the hearings
of the House subcommittee investigating
the strike of copper miners.
Frank p. Walsh, of Kansas City. chair
man of the commission, made the fol-
lowing statement:
The act under which the commission
was named by the President contem-
plates an investigation that will get
down to fundamental causes. II we
find that the causes OF industrial strife
are comparatively few and often the
same for many varied industries in many
localities, then we can make beginning
toward cataloguing them and attacking
them
I'VE may find in some instances that
obstacles to industrial peace in Q par
ticular industry or community have been
overcome by methods that might easily
be adopted in other localities or other
industries where conditions are the
same"
Louis d. Brandeis, of Boston, appeared
before the commission to urge action
toward eliminating unemployment by en-
couraging continuous operation. Mr..
Brandeis said that q central bureau or
agency could relieve unemployment by
directing the movements Of migratory
workers.
