he was charged with unethical con-
duct and found guilty.

Women Against
And for Suffrage
See Country's Chief

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-Both sides Of
the woman suffrage question were
presented today to President Wilson. A
delegation from the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage. thanked
him for his announced opposition to a
federal constitutional amendment en-
franchising women. and delegates to the
annual meeting of the National American
Woman Suffrage association asked him
to support such an amendment and use
his influence TO have 1t endorsed In the
next platform OF the democratic party.
The president did not commit himself
further on the question. He said nothing
to the women opposed to suffrage. To
the suffragists he explained that he had
already under consideration a request
that he change his original position In
opposition to a federal amendment.
More than 1000 women shook hands
with the president.
Permission to address the house was
denied to Miss France Jolli1e of Cali
fornia and Mrs. Sara Bard Field OF

England Seeking to

Far Off as Possible


LONDON, Dec 16-The steamer oscar
II, which has on board Henry Ford and
his peace advocates, has not yet been
reported. II is learned in official circles,
however, that 1t Is hardly likely that the
steamer, which is destined for Christiania
will be taken into IdrkwalL 1t Is be-
lieved that the Oscar III has no cargo
aboard and following the policy outlined
recently by Lord Robert Cecil, under
secretary for foreign affairs, in the House
of Commons, that the government will
hardly take any steps which will bring
! the passengers any nearer the English
coast than L. necessary.
The government views the enterprise OF
Mr. Ford with an indifference which adj
naits nelther OF recognition nor interfeF-
ence, q policy which official circles be-
neve can be followed with the greatest
advantage by keeping the Ford party
from English shores.
The international committee OF women
for permanent peace, through the presi-
dent of the Swedish section. has issued
an official communication that neither
the Swedish section nor the headquarters
of the committee at Amsterdam will have
any connection with Henry Ford's peace
