SUFFRAGISTS AT WHITE HOUSE

President Wilson surprised the sur
prisons late yesterday afternoon when he

of 100 suffragists from several Eastern
States Monday afternoon.
At first il was intimated that the
women would not be greeted at the
White House by the President
We shall go anyway" said Mrs. Jessie
Hardy Stubs, of the Congressional
Union. 1t doesn't make the slightest
difference whether the President will re-
cefve US or not. We will be there, 400
strong"
Rose Winslow, who addressed the Con-
sumers' League mass meeting at the
Columbia Theater several weeks ago,
will be one of the principal speakers for
the delegation. Miss Winslow was for
merly a mill worker and is now an or
ganizer in behalf of the suffrage move
nent in New York.
Women from Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania. Maryland and Delaware will ar
rive in Washington Sunday to march on

"ANTIS" TO EXTEND
FIELD OF ENDEAVOR
Plan to Work Against Suffrage in the
Churches and Schools
of City.

Determined to try TO defeat the sufIra-
EiSts in their efforts to secure action by
Congress. the District Association Op-
posed to Woman Suffrage, under the
leadership of Mrs. Augustus p. Gardner,
is completing plans to wage vigorous
warfare against the suffragists by the
extension of activities into places and
organizations hitherto comparatively neg
lected.
The churches offer a prolific field OF
action for the anti-suffra gistS according
to leaders of that movement. and tho
question OF inviting the ministers of the
various churches to cooperate with
those who are opposed to woman suf-
frage will be brought up for discussion
at the next meeting of the society. Conn
mitteeS which have been at work report
that a large majority of the men and
women attending churches are opposed
to woman suffrage. The interesting fact
also was developed. it is said, that a
majority of the ministers are opposed
to woman suffrage.
Another important question to he
brought up at the next monthly meet
ing OF the anti-suffragists will be the
assertion by suffragist orators that the
public schools offer a tempting and pro-
life field for their activities. and that tho
ma jority of teachers in the public schools
are either open advocates of equal suf-
fraGe or silently encourage 1t.
a resolution will be offered requesting
the board OF education for explanation
and protesting against the appointment
of teachers who are outspoken suffra-
gsts ard use their positions for the pur-
pose of advancing the cause in tbs public
schools.

SECRETARY GARRISON PRAISES
GEN. BLISS FOR BORDER DUTY

Secretary OF War Garrison yesterday
made public the following letter. written
to Brig. Gen. Tasker H Bliss. command
ing the United States forces on the Mexi-
can border. commencing him for his con-
duct of the situation. The letter was as
follows:
Il have just been going over the re-
ports concerning the arrangements made
for the thousands of Mexican refugees at
FL Paso. This brought back TO my mind
the nature and character of work which
you and those under you have been per-
forming for so long a time In such an
unexceptionable manner. I am impelled
to give expression TO the appreciation that
and all others of those who know the
situation have of the high character Of
the service rendered.
'It would be difficult to conceive of
more embarrassing circumstances than
those existing along the border during
the time in question: even slight mis-
takes were likely to have momentous
consequences. The service called for in
telligence. courage. activity, and the ex-
ercise of a rare degree of wisdom. That
YOU and the men working under you
have possessed and used effectively all
of those qualities is a matter of the
greatest pride to me as the head Of the
department, and to all OF those who
know the worth of the army and are
glad to see it publicly demonstrated.
You have had under your jurisdiction
over a thousand miles of border to pa
troll, and have had to meet and dispose
of questions OF the most difficult and
delicate character. almost daily. That
you have done so in a way to win uni
versal appreciation of your course enu-
ties you and all of those under you.
who have so efficiently aided you. not
only TO my thanks but to those of the
that l and you represent in this
regard.
II will be pleased IL you will COM
municate the substance Of this letter to
the officers and men under your COM
mand, so that they may know that their
service is appreciated at its real value"

In the Locked-Arm Walk-About the
Lady Takes the Initiative.

attitude of a fair stopper who Is being
driven, but there can he no question that
she is an unwilling "horsey." for IL she
be graceful no end of admiration ensues
from those gazing at her.
The use OF the word trot may be slightly
confusing with an explanation. for there
is no trot in this figure. 1t is nothing
more than a walk, each step taking the
full one-two-three count.
However. the tandem trot offers bound
less opportunities for the exercise of
bodily grace. There should be, first of
all. a perfectly erect carriage on the part
OF the man. who is compelled to hold
himself we'll behind his companion lest
he step upon her heels. Next the lady is
forced to guard against a too far forward
attitude of her body.
II both dancers are careful to extend
each leg with every step taken as far
as possible with grace. and to point the
toe, they will surely assume the correct
bodily position. This is the secret OF the
fgure-extend each leg and point the toe
Getting into position is probably the
most difficult part OF the tandem trot.
As may he imagined. it is best started
from some open position when the man
is at his ladys left. At the given signal
which may be a wOrd-the man takes
his companions right hand. which she
passes TO him behind her back, and with
two steps-frst with the left foot, then
with the right-he passes into position,
catching the lady's left hand with his
own.
A very comfortable figure in the close
position, either the straight waltz one

ton. or introducing the dip at the knee.

trife away so that the bodies are wsR
apart.
Manoeuvring into position for the
locked-arm walkabout from an open
figure may be correspondingly simple or
hard. depending upon the selection of the
right moment when such change may
be effected. But whatever the position
from which a change is made. IL 1t is
accomplished when the swing of the
dancers bodies Is in the direction to be
taken by the body as she prepares to
lock arms. or II there be an absolute
pause, no confusion need ensue.
We come finally to the twelfth and
last figure in the hesitation waltz
This last figure in the waltz Is the
swaying swing. II Is a rapidly executed
affair. moderately difficult and altogether
pleasing for those serving in the capacity
OF onlookers.
Taking the position Is very easy. pro-
viding the principles explained in pre-
vious articles for the right rhythmic
start are adhered TO. II one or both Of
the partners start to swing into position
on a weak beat OF the music they are
certain to encounter difficulties.
Whether or not the beginning is made
from either the open or closed position
of some other figure. or the straight
waltz. the chief essential is to estimate
so that the couple will bring their bodies
at the right distance for the adjusting
Of their right arms. which gives them the
mutual muscular support for the swing
ing that is to come.

make them almost a run Several reyo-

Adopted.
GLASS CASE NOT TAKEN UP

The Republicans lost one vote and the
Democrats gained one yesterday. when

Lee imediately was sworn in. The thir-
teen Senators who voted against seating
Mr.. Lee were all Republicans.
Blair Lee was chosen Senator at the
regular election in Maryland last Novem-
ber He had been nominated by the DEM
ocrats. The objections urged against
seating him by a minority of the Com
mittees on Privileges and Elections were
based on the argument that the governor
of Maryland was not authorized to issue
writs of election for Senator. 1t was
urged that under the constitution of
Maryland the governor had no authority
to call an election to MI any ONCE unless
he was specifically authorized SO to do
by the constitution of the State. or by
a statute Gov. Goldsborough called the
election for Senator to I'LL the vacancy

Ala. who was appointed by
Gov. O'Neal. of Alabama. to succeed the
late Senator Johnston. was not called up
but probably will be taken up
and disposed of before the end of the
week. II is a foregone conclusion that
he will be denied his seat
All of the Democratic members of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
returned an unfavorable report On the
credentials of Mr.. Glass. holding that
the governor of Alabama had no au-
thority to appoint after the Secretary
OF State had proclaimed the ratification
of the amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution for the direct election Of SEN
ators II was urged that in order to
make such a temporary appointment
valid, that the legislature OF Alabama
should have met and authorized the
governor to fill the vacancy, pending
the result of an election by the people.
