Word Passed Through Under

". For w." Investigators Secured
Evidence Against DisorderIy
Houses

York. Pa, June 1.-THE vice in
terests of this city have passed word
around to their cohorts in the under
world to knife woman suffrage" at
the polls this year. There is a spe-
cific reason for this early preparation
on their part to defeat the consti-
tutional amendment which, IL passed,
will give the women of Pennsylvania
the right to vote.
Six weeks ago the local suffragists
engaged Rose Livingston, "the Angel
of Chinatown" to lecture here. Dur
ing her stay in York Miss Livingston
made the charge that vice was flour
ishing openly here and that no appar-
ent efforts were being made by the
police to check 1t.
Following the publication of these
charges in the local newspapers Mayor
John Lafean began a correspondence
with both the local and state suf-
fragists urging them to reveal the
source of Miss Livingston's informa-
ton so that he might make "a thor
ough investigation"
Suffrage Investigators On Job
AS neither the local nor the state
suffragists knew the exact source of
Miss Livingston's information, and as
she herself had left the state, the
mayors request could not be complied
with. The mayor was persistent in his
requests for information concerning
the moral situation in York, however,
and as he did not appear to be able

BRYAN NOW ADMITS
WILSON'S REPLY To
GERMANY IS FRIENDLY
Former Secretary in another"
Statement, Says Note Does
Not Mean War
IS GRATIFIED OVER CHANGE
Tells Friends He Does Not Want
to Talk About War; Anecdote
In Statement
S GRATIFIED OVER CHANGE
BY Associated Press

Washington, June 11.-Former Sec
retary Bryan to-day issued a state
ment expressing his qualification over
what he termed a change In the tone
of the press regarding the American
note to Germany. The statement fol-
lows:
II am glad to note the change in
the tone of the press in regard to the
note to Germany. From the time the
papers began to publish forecasts down
to yesterday the lingo editors have
been predicting that the matter would
be dealt with with great firmness': I:
that Germany would be told that there
must be no more delay in the accept
ance of this countrys demands. etc.
Instead OF waiting until the note
was issued they put their own con-
structfon upon II in advance and col
ored il to suit their own purposes. 1t
is a relief to find the papers now
emphasizing the friendly tone of the
note and pointing out that 1t does not
necessarily mean war.
Something has been gained If the
warrier journalists at last realize that
the country does not want war. but
that, on the contrary, It will support
the President in his efforts to find
peaceful solution of the difficult prob
lem raised by the use of the subma-
rine against merchantmen"
Tells Another Story
The former Secretary, in giving out
this formal statement. supplemented
1t with the following anecdote:
A Congressman replying to a lingo
speech. recently said:
While 1 am personally against
war, am in favor of the country hav-
Ing what 1t wants. If the country
wants war, let it have war, but let it
first find out if the country does want
war. If it becomes necessary to as
certain the sentiment of the country,
] suggest that a ballot be taken; let
those who want war vote for war.
and those opposed to war. vote against
1t, and let the vote be taken with the
understanding that those who vote for
war will enlist for war, and that those
who vote against war will not be called
upon until after those who want war
have exhausted their Efforts"
-, still believe" added Mr.. Bryan.
in the right Of the people to rule
an dthink the Congressman sugges-
ton might insure deliberate action on
the part of the voters"
Mr.. Bryan was reminded of the sug-
gestton of some of his friends that in
case of war he would be one of the
first to enlist.
