What's the Constitution as
Between Delaware SuffragisfS?

Years ago. when Grover Cleveland
was President of the United States,
a prominent Tammany politician Of
New York City, asked him to do some
thing.
why. that would be clearly uncon-
stitutional," President Cleveland re-
piled.
Not at all abashed, the Tammany
politician retorted:
whats the constitution as between
friends?"
Among politicians that inquiry has
become a classic.
Something nearly akin to it occur
red yesterday at the nineteenth an
nual convention of the Delaware
Equal Suffrage Association, held in
Pythian Castle.
Miss Caroline NJ Cooper, one Of the
delegates, said that the association
should have a second vice-president.
Mrs. Martha S. Cranston, president
of the association. called attention to
the fact that the constitution provided
for only one vice-president.
To give emphasis TO her ruling she
asked Miss Mary r. de You, who is
recognized as the leading parliamen
tartan of the association, to read that
part of the constitution bearing upon
the vice-presidency 1t showed clear
ly that the point raised by Mrs. Gran
ston was correct.
Miss de You scarcely had resumed
her seat when Miss Cooper arose and
exclaimed:
1T doesn't matter what .he cons
tuition provides. If we need a second
vice president, | think we ought tC
have one"
That revival of the old spirit Of
what is the constitution as betwcer
friends?' caused some of those pres
ent to laug.- heartily and to decide
that some of th suffragists were be
coming more like mere man poll
ticians every day.
The constitution 1nally prevailed
The second vice-president was moi
elected. I was decided to refer tn,
whole natter to TIE executive board
for future consideration.

the pro-war group az least to tolerate
his ministry. This was necessary
because the war party, being in
majority could have forced his retire

SINKS 5 BRITISH SHIPS

The Highland Brae, which was the
most important victim of the kron-
prinz Wilhelm, was sunk two weeks
after leaving London for Buenos Aires.
She was sent to the bottom near the
Brazilian port of Pernambuco after her
cargo, coal, crew and passengers had
been removed to the kronprinz Will
helm.
The passengers stated today that
they had received good treatment
from hte Germans, both on the cruiser
and on the Holger, to which they were
transferred near the Brazilian coast a
few days after the Highland Brae was
sunk.
They complained, however, of lack
of comfort on board the Holger which
is coal carrying tramp. Captain
Dreyer of the Holger stated that after
he left Pernambuco in response to an
aerogram from the cruiser he had con-
siderable trouble in locating the kron-
prinz Wilhelm. She was on the high
seas for several days before she came
up to the cruiser.
The Holger, which is bringing a car
go from Bremen, had crew of 40
men, who will be compelled to remain
here because they have no health GER
