SUFFRAGIST SURE
HUGHES FOR CAUSE
Miss Todd Tells How He Asked
Women to Have Patience u
While Longer.

WASHINGTON, July 2S. - Miss
Helen Todd of California, who has
been in New York, said today at the
Headquarters Of the new woman s
party that she had brought a message
of hope and confidence as to the at
titude Of Charles f.. Hughes toward
nationwide suffrage for women. While
Mr.. Hughes did not state positively
what his policy would be toward suf-
frage, Miss Todd expressed feeling
of "absolute confidence" that it would
be favorable.
"Mt Hughes told me-" said Miss
Todd. that he had considered the
matter carefully. He wished to ask
The confidence OF the women and that
they have patience few days longer,
for ne believed they would have no
reason 10 be disappointed. hut every
reason TO be satisfied with his
decision"
While in New York Miss Todd saw
Colonel Roosevelt. He assured her,
she said today, that he wa. "uncduiy-
ocaliy in favor of the federal woman
suffrage amendment because of the
Justice of the cause even If it would
not bring in single vote"
II haye seen President Wilson ten
or twelve times on this question" said
Miss Todd. "and have always gone
away saddened and discouraged and
with a feeling that his reception was
only one of cold courtesy toward me
and the delegations OF women ne has
received. | left Mr. Hughes with a
feeling Of having met a friend, and
full Cf new energy and new hope"

FRISCO OFFICIALS
PAY TULSA VISIT
Inspect Work Being Done
and Lay Plans for Flu
ture Construction.

A party of Frisco officials, headed
fy f.. ID. Levy, general manager; II.
e.. Stevens. chief architect, and +. r.
Swartz, chief engineer. spent the
morning in Tulsa yesterday LOOKING
over the local situation. a part of
their visit was spent in West Tulsa,
but it is thought the main reason for
the coming Of the men and especially
tho architect, was to begin plans for
the additions to the passenger and
freight depots.
In the meantime the other improve
merits of the Frisco are being pushed
rapidly. Work was completed ycster-
day on the roadbed for the double
tracking which is to extend from the
stocltyards to Red Fork, and the
gangs will begin to lay rails today.
The materials are on the ground and
should be finished in record time.
According to J. M. Chandler, dtvis-
their visit was spent in West TuSt,
ls spending most OF his time in Tulsi,
watching the construction work. con
tractors will be turned loose in about
two weeks on the roundhouse at West
Tulsa.

FEW DROPS BREAK
LOCAL HUMID SPELL
Mighty Little Rain Falls,
but It's Enough to Cool
Things Off.

After several weeks of swcltering
drouth. Tulsa received bit OF rain
Yesterday afternoon. which resulted
in perceptible drop OF the thermom-
eter. That it was badly needed is
evidenced by the report of the gov
ernment weather observer, who stated
that the maximum temperature yes
terday was 1913.
The intense humidity which wealth
er forecasterS say has settled over
the United States was present here
in its most grieVous state. At $3.50
o'clock the condition was the most
uncomfortable of the year despite the
fact that the thermometer did not
"ome within two degrees of the sea-
sons record.
At $3.50 o'clock the shower burst
upon the city. Just as all Tulsa
rushed to its front porch to watch
the deluge which should cool the en-
tire countrywide. the shower dri9zled
out. About four minutes was the
length of the rain. Ii was mere
drop in the instrument of the Wea ther
observer, who could not even calcu-
late it in hundredths Of inches. The
report reads, Traces of rain"
Despite the disappointing end to
the showers the temperature dropped
last night until II was quite tearable.
Statisticians predicted tnat more poo
pie would enjoy their sleep last night
I'm Tulsa than any evening in the last
Two months.

THE WAR AT A
GLANCE

Driving forward at two points less
than sixty miles apart, Russian forces
have captured Brody in Galicia and
have broken the Austro- German first
lines west OF Lutsk in Volhynia. ac-
cording TO the latest Russian official
communication. In addition the Rus
SLAMS have taken nine thousand prls-
oners and 46 guns. Vienna admits
the penetration II the Austrian line
on the iirody- Lcsznlow road and
says the Austrians are continuing the
battle on the southern border of
Brcdy.
The capture Of Brody. an important
railway junction some fifty miles
northeast Of Lcmbcrg, opens a direct
road to the Galician capital. The oc-
cupation OF the town aiso may have

SIMS STRONG FOR
BATTLE CRUISERS
Says These and Battleships
Are Essential to Bal
anced Navy.
REPORT TO DANIELS
Statement Was Written
After Jutland Battle
Not Made Public.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Captain
". Sims of the battleship Nevada,
who was one of the star witnesses
before the congressional naval COM
nittees during preparation of the
naval bill, has reported in response
to a request from Secretary Daniels,
that the battle off Jutland in which
British battle cruisers bore the brunt
of the German fire. has not changed
his belief as outlined at the COM
mittee hearings that both battle
cruisers and battleships are essential
types to round out the American
navy
Captain Sims report dated July 8
never has been given out by the navy
department Secretary Daniels took
exception to some passages in it as
open to criticism on grounds of neu
trality and requested that another
be sHbmitted in it's place. 1t was
made public tonight as originally
submitted, however, by Representa-
tive oliver a member of the house
naval committee, who had written
Captain Sims asking whether the
battle had changed his views.
No Argument Against.
The captain reported that in his
opinion there was nothing in avail
able accounts of the fight to justify
any argument against the necessity
for battle cruisers, and that the only
surprise to naval critics was the eX-
traordinary resistance of that type
of vessel when pitted against bat
tleships The report says in part:
THE contention of British writer's
that the sacrifice of the battle
cruiser squadron in fighting a delay
ing action against battleships late
in the afternoon was justified in the
hope of bringing on a general action
between the main fleets is not be-
lieved to be sound and this for the
simple reason that the military sit
uation did not require the British
fleet to fight decisive action or
any action at all. because they al
ready had practically as complete
control of the sea as would have re-
suited from the defeat of the enemy
fleet. Control of the sea is accom-
plished when the enemy's fleet is
defeated or contained and the Ger
man fleet has been contained since
the beginning Of the war. is now
contained and doubtless will re-
main so. ,
There is no reason to believe the
Germans have ever intended to risk
their fleet in decisive action
against the greatly superior British
fleet They are not in the habit of
pitting any military force against
twice its numbers of at least equally
powerful units. There is on the
contrary every reason to believe that
the Germans knew exactly what they
intended to do during this last sortie
sonable presumption that they ac-
complished what then was intended.
namely, the trapping and pounding
OF the British battle cruisers before
they could be supported by the Brit
I.h main body"
