So Sufragists Protest
Action of Convention

Philadelphia, Dec. "A band of
''watchful walters" flfty-nine of them,
gathered in the Hotel Adelphia yes
terday, after the adjournment of the
forty seventh annual convention of the

the suffrage body.
While the meeting affirmed it's 10y
atty to the new administration, voted
into Office at Tuesdays election, and
declared its intention of working. in
harmony with the leaders, it was
thought advisable for those who pro-
tested against the slated ticket of the
retiring administration to give notice
that they still will be on the firing line,
and will do their utmost to keep alive
the spirit of democracy in the organ
ization.
call for Endorsement of this prin-
ciple brought fifty-nine votes in it's
favor, and hence the name THE Fifty
nine" became the slogan of the gath
ering.
Among those who urged the neces-
sity for a comprehensive change in the
constitution of the association were
Miss Louise Hall, Miss Florence San
Vile, DR.. Ruth Deeter, of Harrisburg,
and Mrs. e. II. Walter, of Scranton.
The members gave their names and
will hold themselves in readiness to
suggest to Miss Ingham, one of the
members of the new committee to re-
wise the constitution, necessary changes
in the rules governing the association.

MUST PAY ASSESSMENT

In a brief opinion filed early this
afternoon President Judge Kunkel, of
the Dauphin County Courts, decided
that Fl. J. Roop must pay to the re-
ceivers of the Farmers Produce Com
pany the 500 assessment on stock to
which he subscribed before the con-
Germ went into the hands of the receiv-
ers. Roop contended that the agree
ment to pay the assessment was made
through someone else and that since
the firm had become insolvent he isn't
responsible for the money. The court
decided he must pay the S10O ASSESS
ment with interest dating from Sep
tember 90. 1914. Calvin A. Kramer,
Charles b. Neff and w. II. Sloat are
the receivers.
