DEATH OVERTAKES
GENERAL HAYWOOD
First Officer to Reach Highest
Rank in u. S. Marine Corps
Dies In Washington.

Washington, Feb. 25.--Major General
Charles Haywood, U. g. NJ. c., retired,
the first marine officer to attain the
rank Of major general, died in his
Washington home to-day. He was in
his seventy-sixth year.
General Haywood was a veteran OF
the Civil War His first distinguished
service was early in 1852, when he was
captain of a marine detachment on the
Cumberland in her fight with the Con-
federate ironclad Merrimac. As the
Cumberland, battered and rammed by
the Merrimac, was sinking Captain Hey
wood fired the last shot from his snip,
a round shot, which entered portfolio
of the Merrimac and did much damage.
Then he jumped from the Cumberland
and escaped capture by swimming. he
received the brevet rank of major for
gallantry in this action.
Volunteering for service with Far
ragut, Haywood was assigned to the
flagship Hartford. and served in the
battle of Mobile Bay, and for gallantry
in action he was brevetted lieutenant
colonel. He took part in suppressing
railway riots in Baltimore and Phila-
delphia in 1877, and was commended by
Major General Winfield Scott Hancock.
General Haywood was appointed colo.
mel and commandant of the United
States Marine Corps in 1891. On March
3 of that year ne was advanced to the
newly created commissioned rank Of
brigadier general commandant, and on
July /, when the marine corps was
again increased. he was made major
general commandant. Having reached
the age of siXty-four years, he was re-
tired from active service on October 3,

Votes for babies.
Nntnn e. milan.

Votes for babies.
Votes for widows.
These are two Of the planks in the
platform proposed by Cecil Chester
ton, the English author, at the Hudson
Theatre yesterday, in a debate with
Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-R Robertson Hale
on the question, as woman suffrage
implied in the principles of democ-
racy?" And yet he was advertised TO
take the anti" side il the debate.
No wonder Mr.. Chesterton felt con.
strained to say to the audience, toward
the end OF the meeting: This debate
is in danger Of collapse because Mrs.
Hale and | agree too much"
They found, however, several points
on which to disagree.
"Mrs. Forbes Robertson Hale" he
said, with a wave of his plump hand
at his opponent, who had preceded him,
believes that the individual is the
unit. | say no. Society is made up
OF families. Now, 1t is the husband
who conducts the externals. The hus-
band buys and sells for the family.
The wife has right TO expect that her
husband shall do her voting for her, as
she expects him to open door for her.
81 am quite ready to admit that when
a woman's husband is dead she should
have the family vote. Votes for widows,
by all means. That would be no more
absurd than il is absurd for wdower
TO cook when necessary.
"And If a man has eight children,
perhaps he should have eight votes.
Votes for babies. BY all means

DEBATE CHALLENGE
FOR SUFFRACISTS
National Association AS
sails Attitude of New
York SecessiOnists.

Mrs. Stanley Mccormick, first vice
president Of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, issued
YESTERDAY. through Charles 7. Halli-
nan. press chairman of that organiza-
ton. the following challenge TO the
Women's Political Union, which re-
signed from the National February l9:
IF the Women's Political Union Is
so coeksure that the work Of the Con-
gressional committee of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
in regard TO the Shafroth-Palmer
amendment was and is a mistake, per
hans the union will be willing 10 de-
bate the question with representatives,
Of the National for the benefit OF
those sufFragists who are interested
in federal legislation for suffrage
Mrs. Mccormick added that the news
paper reports of the uttersnces OF the
union or it's members about the Shat
roth Palmer amendment Indicated that
they did not understand 1t IN the
least"
Mrs. Batch" she said later to re-
porters, has her eyes fixed on New
York State. That is all right, if every
thing goes swimmingly in New York.
Rut what if we lose here? Surely we
shall be glad of other states, and what
ever will help all states to win SUI
frage is good. ., IT,
THE National thinks that the
Shafroth-Palmcr amendment Is model
OF simplicity. 1t is a democratic piece
Of legislation, offering the states an
initiative on the suffrage question.
Under this amendment, which will have
10 rass Congress and be ratified by
thrce-fourths Of the states to become
a law. when q certain percentage of the
people in state want TO vote on the
suffrage question they can petition 20
have this issue come before the voters
AZ the next general election.
The advantage Of this amendment
over the Bristow- Mondell amendment,
which the union upholds, is that the
South does rot object to it. Thirteen
of the Southern states do object to the
Bristow- Mondell amendment because
of their feeling for states rights. For
forty years the suffragists have been
trying to push this measure, which is
the old Susan B. Anthony amendment,
through Congress, and they have
failed. It can't be done"
In regard TO the resignation of,the
union from the National, Mrs. McCor-
mick said she was sorry for the mem
bership Of that organization.
