of the Speakers Committee OF the
Women's Political Union, came to town
this morning on business trip and at
once began working for woman suffrage.
as she says she always does, no matter
where she is or what she is after. Miss
Scott, at the headquarters OF the Equal
Suffrage League, on South 9th street,
spoke about suffrage In New Jersey and
kindred subjects. She was asked III the
cause would win in her State this Sep
tember when the people will vote on the
suffrage amendment to the constitution.
1T is difficult and unsafe TO prophesy,"
she said, but there is this: Every one
of our public men are pledged for II, In
Bergen County our State Senator and
three assemblymen are in favor OF 1t and
speak for it as well as vote for 1t. Our
school teachers are teaching II as a mat
ter OF current history and all over the
State branches OF the union have been or
ganized TO watch legislation, distribute
literature, and furnish speakers on suf-
frage for meetings of all kinds and In all
sorts OF places. I mean we are making
n campaign TO have suffrage presented
at all public meetings.
Some of our town authorities have re-
fused us the use OF schoolhouses for our
meetings because they said the meetings
would be political. We suffrage Rdvo-
Gates have no platform, nor are we a
political body. We are working for one
thing and the men are beginning to
realize II. In this country the men give
the women what they want and II Is up
to the women to get suffrage by convinc-
ing the men that they want IL. We are
educating the women of New Jersey so
that when they talk suffrage 10 their
women friends and the men OF their own
homes they can talk intellisently and
show that they are capable OF voting in
telligently."

HIT BY TRAIN, BUT HAPPY
Driver Who Had Narrow Escape Sat
isfied That Things Were No Worse.

Although he is pafalytic and lost his
horse and wagon yesterday, George #.
Rice, teamster. OF 1888 Beecher avenue,
Cheltenham. declared at his home today
that he was satisfied that things were not
worse than they are.
Rice was driving across the Cottman
street Intersection of the Philadelphia and
Heading Railway shortly after o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Children coming
nom school, who were halted by the
warning sound OF the electric bell at the
crossing, shrieked in terror as a freight
locomotive bore down on Rice and his
wagon. 1t was going about 80 miles an
hour' and when the engine passed there
was no Sign OF Rice. The wagon was
reduced to kindling wood and the horse
sfound to pieces. When the engineer
brought his locomotive to a stop Rice was
assisted from the cowcatcher badly scared
but unhurt.
