OF Portland Port

Portland Me-, May 14.-That Hon, cy-
ed by Senator Johnson for the position
of, surveyor Of the port of Portland IS
more than a possibility. Mr.. Davis was
in town yesterday and made a visit of
some length to the custom house where
he was making some investigation and
the inference is drawn that it was with
reference to the duties that a surveyor
has authority over.
1t has been believed that Senator john
sen would wait until John j, Lynch of
this city and Maj. John d. Anderson OF
Gray had filed their endorsements. Even
Senator Johnson's published intention of
recommending Mr.. Davis for the place
was not believed to be final, but action
in some direction in the near future is
looked for

Thursday before an audience that
filled the South Parish Congregational
chapel to its capacity, Mrs. Maud
Howe Elliott, daughter of the distin-
guished and revered Julia Ward
Howe, spoke most entertainingly on
the vital question of the hour, WON
an Suffrage"
Without rancor or criticisms, from
a fountain spring of pure thoughts,
she drew illustration and pictured
words of the trend of modern times.
Eminently fitted to speak, as the off
spring of so famous mother, Mrs. Ell
lott spoke with charm of manner
and a voice that lent authority to her
very utterance. She held the rapt at
tention of her audience for full hour.
Woman suffrage is the burning
question of the hour, were the open
ing remarks of Mrs. Elliott. Every

OF the early history of education for
wcmen and the difficulty of gaining ad-
mission to the colleges she spoke most
Interestingly. Brown University stub
bornly refused us admission. For years
we stornAad at the doors of this institu-
ton until at last grudgingly, slowly, the
doors We're opened and the Woman's Col

ty. Arrayed in that struggle were such
memorable figures as Lucy Stone, Mary
Livermore, George William Curtis and
Wendell Phillips.

phantly, there is not a state in the
Union where women are not entitled to as

Nurses in Hospitals
Still tracing the earlier suffrage move
ment. Mrs. Elliott put TO her interested
audience the pertinent question of the
nurses in hospitals. Way said she, "a
few years ago old conservatives would
have uttered shrieks to heaven at the
thought of our women seeing and doing
such things as hospital duties. Today
the hospital couldn't run without the
women
She philosephically admitted that per-
haps it were best that there were some
conservatives to shape the trend Of
thought. then hurled this

dracs the wagon than the brake that
drags the wheel?" and murmur of ac-
acknowledgement seemed to run through
the audience.
Mothers OF the Nation
Woman suffrage" Mrs. Elliott ar
firmed. is but the soulful expression of
woman's instinct. Women are the
mothers of the nation Then she inter-
estingly portrayed some of the prom
inent national women suffragists.
Tribute to Jane Adams
Mrs Elliott ranked Jane Adams
as the foremost exponent OF woman
suffrage in America and she paid to
her a most glowing and deserved trib-
ute for the wonderful reform work
she has accomplished at Hull House,
Chicago.

whom was given great emphasis was

Manchester, n. H., May 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson today accepted an invi-
tation to be the principal guest of the
Eiks of New Hampshire in this city
June 49, when a general observance
of Flag day win be carried out.
The President gave personal assur-
ance to the New Hampshire congress
sional delegation this morning that he

telegram received tonight by Man
chester officers of the local lodge of

EZRA Cruz, May IA violent cleo
trcal storm in the vicinity of Tampi-
co has rendered the wireless virtual
IL useless. and only meagre details of
tile situation az that port, which was
evacuated yesterday by the Federals
were received here today.
The Plight of the Federals under Gen.
zaragoza, who are retiring in the di-
rection of san Luis Potosi along the
railroad from Tampico is considered,
by those who know the country, most
serious.
The Constitutionalists have over
run the territory about San Luis Po-
tosi and control a considerable portion
Of the railroad
Northward toward the Federal lines
the country is rugged and barren and
probably impa ssable to the weary vet
Grams of Tampico.
At Zaragoza's rear are Constitution
al forces elated by victory and ready
to press after him. The general belief
here is that the little force of FEEDER
ais will be cut to pieces before 1t
reaches the lines south of San Luis
Potosi.
News was received today that the
warning of the Constitutionalist lead
er. Gen. Caballero of his purpose to
attack Tampico with artillery and
force surrender was given te the
commander of the British cruiser
Hermione, on May 9.
Foreign residents Immediately be-
gan to go aboard the various ships.
II is reported that all foreigners left
the city, except few Americans who
chose to remain.
Within the city native patriotic dem
onstrations occurred frequently before
the attack began. A few recruits had
reached Gen. ZaragoZa, but the rebel
forces had increased TO 5000 with II
field guns, making the odds against
the Federals hopeless. The ammuni-
ton supply aboard the Federal gum
boats had been greatly reduced, and

Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott Upholds
Woman's Right to Vote Before
Large and Attentive Audience

Frances A. Keller, the first authority
on the immigrant. 1t is to Miss Keller,
the speaker explained, that are en-
trusted all questions pertaining 10
laws governing the immigrant. TO
make her remarks clearer she traced
briefly the conquests of the Romans
who took whole nations of people and
subjected them to their will, and then
compared this ancient surfdom to the
villianous systems of exploitation OF
Immigrant labor, which the padrone
system of this country has developed.
All this wonderful work is in the
hands Of a tiny little woman. Mill
owners, railroad presidents and cap
tains of industry consult Miss Keller
on matters which concern the welfare
of the immigrant.
Katherine Bennett Davis
Mrs. Elliott dealt briefly on the office
of commissioner of Correction the Sec
ond most important office in New York
City, which is held by a woman. Miss
Katherine Bennett Davis, who draws a
salary of $500. But it is not so much the
amount, interpolated Mrs. Elliott, as ii
is measure of Miss Davis ability and
value in the government service.
Miss Julia Lathrop. head of the Chill
drens Bureau, federal office for the
education of young mothers. was also
interestingly spoken Of
Using the foregoing prominent expon-
ents of suffrage as examples, Mrs Elliott
declared woman has come to her pres
ent position in government because of the

his gray head wondering how he woulG
