COLORADUS WOMAN
SENATOR IN JERSEY
RGfuteS Statements of Anti
suffrage Press Agents.

Senator Helen Ring Robinson of Col
orado Immediately refuted charges
made against Colorado by j. B. NAL
ing. Edward J. Handley and Barrett
L. Crandall, who are employed by the
anti-suffragists. when interviewed on
her arrival in the east. Mrs. Robinson
has come east to appear in court
against suffrage opponents whom she
is suing for $1,000 for libel and to take
part in the eastern equal suffrage cam
paigns in answering attacks upon her
state.
Suffrage in Colorado, she said, has
meant better health inspection in the
public schools, better chance for saw
ing the lives of babies, lower tax rates,
fairer property laws, safety for
the protection of girls, greater freedom
from typhoid fever, more humane laws
in our state.

state that, terrible as the Colorado
strike a there have been more men

Jersey since the Colorado strike began
than were killed in our state"
Reviewing the Ludlow strike, Sena-
tor Robinson credited two women with
bringing the strike to. a close and de-
clared that two wonderful laws have
come as an outcome of the strike
through the energy of women.
"One,' says the senator, lis the
workmen's compensation law, which
makes the industry liable for death or
accident to an employee during the
performance of his duties. The other
is an arbitration law, which forbids
the calling of a strike without first
giving a months notice to an arbitra-
ton commission"
Senator Robinson said with a smile
that of course there were failures and
many imperfect conditions in her state.
but that most of the things said by
the opposition were deliberately mis-

nature Of the replies from the two

That Great Britain would give as

the general use of neutral flags by
British merchant ships was the belief
Of many officials. The widest sort Of

Of the Berlin foreign Office.
Count won Bcrnstorff. the German
ambassador. declined to discuss the
note to Germany, ~ he had received
no advices from Berlin concerning II,
and the British embassy also was
silent.
What excited most attention In con-
gress and among diplomats. however.
was the serious tone Of the notes. even
though qualified by polite terms Of
diplomatic usage. The determination
Of the United States government to
have the American flag used only by
ships entitled TO fly II and the warning
that Germany would be held TO

LONG SESSION ENDS


Warrington. ID. C.--Republican ard
Democratic seniors who oppose the
government ship purchase bill. aided
by Senators Norris ,And Kenyon. Pro-
grcssive Republicans, who have stood
by the bill, forced an adjournment
Wednesday night Of ths longest con-
tinuous ssssion In the history Of tho
senate and made more uncertain than
ever the fate Of the measure which the
administration has 70 urgently pressed
on congress.
On tbs adjournment, after 81 hours
and II minutes Of continuous debate,
leading members OF both houses Of
congress conceded that an extra SEES
zion 10 b called soon after March 4
seemed inevitable. There were some,
however. who still hoped that there
yet might be time to dispose Of appro-
priation bills and tho ship purchase
measure In some form 5efore adjourn
mont.
Adjournment came on q motion made
by Senator O'Gorman, which prevailed
by <S to 40, after Senator Norris, de-
ploring the fstiguing flibuster, had
proclaimed his conclusion that OPP
ponents Of tie ship purchase bill could
filibuster II to its death.
Disappointed over the loss Of sup
port from tho Progressive Republi-
cans. but still hopeful that something
yet could be done to save the bill. adj
ministrstion leaders of the senate
would not admit that the cause WAS
lost Anticipating a break In the
senate. President Wilson had been con-
ferring throughout the past few days
with house leaders on plans of getting
the bill before the house. and such
course may be taken, though the SEN
ate Republicans insist that their fight
will continue until the end Of the SEES
sion, no matter what the administra-
tion forces may accomplish on the
house side.
