chuse,ts. the three campaign States,
contributed large delegations to the
suffrage reunion held yesterday in
various parts Of the city when local
sunraeists held out their hands to their
sisters Of the neighboring States. So
many sunragista came that Il was
necessary to nave two luncheons at
the same time. one at the Hotel Nc
Amin and the other at Woman Suffrage
marty headquarters in order that TO
sunragis,s might go hungry.
In and down Fifth avenue and across
the side streets automobiles trailed.
stopping often to get converts and csus-
ing such crowds on broadway that the
policemen. ever the loyal friends of the
sunragists. were obliged to interfere
several times.
Only two events marred the perfect
harmony Of the reunion. One was the
defence Of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
the national president. to the accusa-
Won W MlFs NiAluI I" i'Vukt, tTltt
executive Of the ants, whose article
IN the anti-suffrsge organ. the Protest,
implied that Or. shaw falsiied In re-
gard to SONS Of her public statements
about the ants and the liquor interests.
Like a red rag to a bull this subject
never fails to bring friction between
the two organizations. and DR.. Shaw
was not slow In replying to her OPP
ponent
Il didn't say the things Mrs. Dodge
accuses mo Of saying" she stated, but
this Is not the first time Mrs. Dodge
has said things over her signature that
were not strictly according to facts.
The statements | did make in regard to
the liquor interests were all strictly
true | defy any anti TO deny them. I
have the proofs of what l am talking
about
After the two luncheous were over a
long line 4 cars was drawn up In front
o. the suffrage headquarters prepara-
tory 10 showing out of town suffragists
the sights. II was during this sight
seeing that the second incident occurred.
Cheored by waiting crowds the cars
swung into Fifth avenue at Thirty
fourth street and sped swiftly up the
avenue. All went well until "A jealous
traffic policeman gave the slow down
signal. The New York ~surragists obeyed
on the instant, but a New Jersey caf
whose driver was too much hurried to
put on the brakes crashed into the car
ahead.
There was a chorus of shriely. shouts
rom the crowd. cheers from the news
Toys M a large pool OF escaping gaso-
lene defaced the surface OF Fifth avenue.
