WILSON FIRM ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Flatly Refuses to Change Posi-
ton That Question Should Be
Dealt With by States
BY .ASsocinted Press

Washington, Aug. 2. - President
Wilson has not changed his position
that the woman suffrage question
should be dealt with by the States. it
was announced to-day at the White
House. The statement was brought
forth by the announcement yesterday
of Charles E. Hughes, the Republican
nominee that he favored an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution CIV
ing the vote to women.
A delegation of suffragists saw the
President yesterday and afterward in
dicated they believed he would make
a statement on the question before the
convention of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association in Sep
tember. At that time the policy to
be pursued in the political campaign
will be determined by the National
Suffrage organization.
Refusal Is Final
To-day Secretary Tumulty discussed
the question with the President, and
afterward announced that Mr.. Wilson S
position on the subject was unchanged.
This position, as outlined several times
to suffragist delegations, within the
last three years is that while he favors
votes for women, he is opposed to fed
eral action.
The President voted for woman S
suffrage in New Jersey last year.
1t was indicated that to-day's an
nouncement was final.

to Be Open Saturday

The stores of the district centering
about Third and Verbeke streets will
remain open on Saturday afternoons
and evenings The businessmen of
that section announce that after care
fully considering the demands of local
trade conditions, and with the desire
to serve the best interest and greatest
convenience Of their customers, they
have decided tc continue the same
practice that has previously governed
with regard to closing hours. Oonse-
quently the stores of that section will
be open for business on Saturday aft
ernoons and evening, and those stores
which have been in the habit of clos
ing on Friday at noon Will continue
doing so during the remainder of the
season.
These merchants state that they are
led to this decision through the re-
quests of many of their patrons who
combine their week end shopping with
their Saturday afternoon and evening
marketing at the Verbeke street mar
ket.
An innovation in the vicinity men,
toned will be the free band concert
which is to be given on Saturday
evening between the hours of 1880
and at the corner of Third and Ver-
beke streets through the courtesy of
the businessmen of the vicinity.

BAN MUNITIONS
FROM STORAGE
AS Result of Big Tom Explosion
Arms May Not Be Sent
Through Jersey City
By associated Press

Jersey City, n. J., Aug. 2. - Agents
of the city commissioners were sent to-
day to the terminals of all railroads
entering this city to put into effect the
order of the commission placing ban
on the storage of ammunition in cars
upon piers in this city and upon its
shipment through this city to steamers
going to Europe This action was
taken because of the great explosion OF
ammunition at Black Tom Island, sun
day morning.
The order becomes effective to-mor-
row afternoon. All the railroads hav-
ing terminals here have received no
tice to discontinue moving the war ex-
plosives through this city The order
directs hat every freight train com
ing into Jersey City must be halted at
the city line where the conductor will
be required to show his manifest and
if this reveals that any of the cars con-
tain explosives, these cars will be ex-
cluded.
1t was said to-day that the Lehigh
Valley railroad and the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey. the chief shippers
of the interdicted freight, had placed
an embargo on further shipments OF
explosives. Officials of some of the
other ailroads threatened TO obtain

FEELING WAY
THROUGH CAPES
Last Heard of at $50 This
Morning Sixty Miles

ONLY ONE WARSHIP !?
Some Think U-Boat Will Seek
Quiet Cove on the
Inlet

Fortress Monroe, Va, Aug. p
Eighteen hours after the German mer-
chant submarine Deutschland sailed
from Baltimore on her return voyage
to Germany, she had not been sighted
from the Virginia Capes or in Hamp-
ton Roads, and nothing had been
heard from her since $3.50 o'clock this
morning when she was reported off
Tangier Sound, about sixty miles up
Chesapeake Bay.
Although last night she was said to
be making 16 knots she apparently
has been proceeding since at a much
slower rate of speed. On the trip up
the bay after her arrival off the Capes
only II hours was required for the
run from Hampton Roads to Balti-
more.
Much surprise was occasioned here
by reports brought by passengers on
an incoming coastwise steamer that
only one allied warship was on hand
to-day off the Capes.
The sailing plans of the Deutschland
were a carefully guarded secret, but
when she left Baltimore there was
a belief that she would proceed direct
to Newport News. On the other hand
there was an expectation in some quar-
ters that the submersible would seek
quiet cove or inlet somewhere in
lower Chesapeake Bay and there await
favorable opportunity to make a
dash through the allies blockade off
the Capes.

Nationwide Organization
of TroIEeymen Is Plan;
New York Strike Serious

New York, Aug. 2. - New York
State and city authorities are prepar-
ing to-day to deal with a strike OF
street railway employees which, If be-
gun, Is expected to tie up virtually the
whole street railway service of the
city. officers of the Amalgamated AS
sociation of Street Railway Men who
are in charge of the efforts to organ
ize the employees in order to enforce
demand for recognition of the union
and an increase in pay, said to-day
that they were nearly ready to present
their demands to the New York Rail-
ways Company, operating most of the
surface lines in the borough of Man
haitian.
Officers of this company are pre-
pairing to resist the demands of the
men and are establishing dormitories
and are training new employees in the
operation of cars to take the places
of strikers.
The first step toward organizing
the 1000 employees of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company, was taken
last night and continued to-day.
Mayor Mitchell having failed to in
duce the disputants to arbitrate, the
Public Service Commission intervened
to-day by summoning representatives
of both sides to hearing this after
noon, so as to bring out all the facts
and submit them to public criticism.
The threatened tie-up of every car
line in Greater New York is to be
only the first step in a nationwide
strike of street car men in order to
win the unions demand for the right
to organize everywhere, it was stated
to-day by Louis Frediger, counsel for
the union organizers
This is to be countrywide affair"
Mr.. Frediger declared. The organ
izing of street railway men is pro-
crossing rapidly. Attention is to be
centered first on New York City"

Preponderant Number of
"Big Four" Brotherhood
Men in Favor of Strike

New York, Aug. 2.-when 100000
of the 100000 ballots cast by mem
bers of four brotherhoods who are
voting on the question of calling a
general strike en- 225 railroads had
been counted at noon to-day. it was
announced that "a preponderant num-
ber of the men are in favor of a
strike
The ballots counted to-day are
mainly votes of the Eastern and
Southern members of the Big Four"
railway brotherhoods. 1t is expected
that the lowest number of votes cast
in favor of the strike will come from
the Eastern members. No matter what
what the number of votes cast against
the strike by the Eastern men, there
is practically no doubt that the ma
jority of them favor the strike, it
was asserted.
Thus far the largest number of
votes in favor of the strike have been
cast by the members from the South.
One of the Southerners who is in
touch with the vote counting predicted
o-day that the vote from that section
would run approximately as follows:
Engineers, SO per cent; trainmen, 90
per cent; firemen, 99h per cent, and
conductors, 94 per cent.

New advances along the Somme
front in northern France have been
made by both the French and the
British.
The French gain, the more impor-
tant, is admitted by Berlin. 1t was
effected between Hem wood and
Monacu farm, near the river, where
a strongly-held German work was
captured. The German trenches, says
the Berlin report, had been COM
pletely demolished.
The British made their progress
east of Pozieres as the result of hand
to-hand fighting. The Germans were
on the aggressive west of High wood
but were unable to get beyond the
British fire barrier in an attempt to
recapture lost ground.
Little indications of the progress of
the events on the Russian front is
from Petrograd which records merely
rifle and artillery duels at various
points and the repelling of minor at
tacks on Russian positions. The Ger
man war office declared that several
Russian attacks in the Stokhod were
beaten off.
Before Verdun where the Germans
have been violently attacking east of
the Meuse, they have captured a
height northwest of Fort SouviHe. The
French admit the forcing back Of
their lines for a short distance.

In air fighting along the Somme
