San Francisco, Sept 16.-The Wo-

squarely behind the Susan b. An
thOny amendment and recording the
unalterable opposition Of the conven-
tion to 1.-The introduction into Con-
gress of any other amendment deal
ing with the issue Of national woman

The Susan B. Anthony plan for Sc
curing woman suffrage is to seek it
through amendment to the Federal
constitution, rather than through ac-
tion Of individual States.
One resolution reads:
Whereas, the enfranchisement Of
the women of the nation is the para
mount political issue before the peO-
pie of this country and the Congress
Of the United States; therefore, be it
Resolved, That We women voters
in convention assembled call upon

est Of any political party"
Another resolution made II clear

EXtradited to England.

New York, Sept 10.-Ignatius T.
T. Lincoln, self-confessed German
spy, was to-day ordered by Federal
Judge Veeder, of Brooklyn, to be ex-
tradited to England for trial on a
charge of perjury.
Judge Veeder's findings will be
sent to Secretary Lansing. After
Mr.. Lansing has passed ON the pro-
ceedngs Lincoln will be liable to
eXtradition at any time.
Lincoln's attorneys contend that
the British government asked for
Lincoln's eXtradit;on in order to try
him on charges OF being a spy in
stead Of the forgery charges.
officials here say that if Lincoln
is extradited to england for forgery
he must be tried there on that
charge only. The extradition treaty
between Great Britain and the Uni
ted States specifically provides that
a man must be tried only on the
charge forming the basis Of the ex-
tradition.

BETTER MARKETS FOR ASPARAGUS
Association Formed BY Growers of Five Towns VIII Handle
Section Output

Cooperating with the Office of Mar
kets at Washington, Clemson College
is working out some practical and et
6cient marketing schemes. Some of
the farming enterprises of South Car
olina have been operating at loss and
1t is up to all concerned to consider
and determine upon some plan Of ac-
tion that will solve the problems Of
marketing the states products. Al
though the marketing situation has
not, by any means, been definitely
worked out, some very significant
work has nevertheless been decided
Ing schemes now under way is that
adopted recently by the asparagus
growers In the vicinity OF Ridge
Spring. Trenton, Williston Elko and
Blackvile.
On July 1s about twenty of the as.
paragus growers met in an informal
way at Columbia with w. w. Long,
director OF extension at Clemson The
meeting was in the nature Of a round
table discussion, and the growers took
1t as an opportunity to exchange their
ideas and experiences. 1t developed
that, with a very few exceptions, the
growers were operating at loss. The
consensus was that the growers sys-
tenn of marketing was wrong. They
were unanimous In the belief that they
ought to get together upon some united
and concerted scheme of sorting, grad
ing, packing and selling their product
The growers next invited the mar
ket agent at Clemson College and G..
70. Basset of the Office OF Markets and
Rural Organization, u. S. department
OF agriculture, to attend an informal
meeting OF asparagus men at Ridge
Spring ead another at Trenton. Al
the Ridge Spring meeting it soon de-
veloped that the growers had not sort
