President Is Greeted With
Great Demonstration Upon
Entering Congress.
MAKES REFERENCE
TO RAILROADS
Suffragists Unfurl Banner
Asking what Will You Do
For Women Suffrage?"

Washington, Dec. president
Wilson delivered his opening address
to congress today to the accompani-
ment of a great demonstration OF
felicitation on his reelection, which
many republicans joined the demo-
Gratis and the first approach at heck
ling on the part of woman suffragists.
After house and senate had stood
and cheered the president heartily,
and he had begun the reading of his
address, some suffrage invaders in the
gallery dropped over the rail ban
ner, which they had struggled in with
them in hand bag.
1t was yellow, the suffrage color,
and bore in bold letters the inscrip-
ton:
'Mr. President, What Will You Do
For Woman Suffrage? ?"
A page quickly snatched the ban
ner from its place. The president
smilingly looked up from his manu-
script, but continued his reading
without hesitation or interruption.
There was no responsive demonstra-
tion from suffrage supporters on the
floor or in the galleries and the in
cident passed asf without further
mark. A policeman took Up his sta
ton near the women to see that they
did not violate the rules of the house
again.
The suffrage leaders gave out a
prepared statement explaining that
inasmuch as the president made no
reference to their cause in his adj
dress, they took that means Of calling
it to his attention.
The presidents address was devoted
principally to recommendations for
railroad legislation. 1t was brief and
required less than Is minutes for
reading.
Mrs. Abby Scott Baker of the con-
gressional union explained the incl
dent as expressive of the Indignation
that women feel at the stupid and
senseless opposition to granting the
right of self government to one-half
the people of the United States"
As the president proceeded with
recommendations for other legislation
the listening congress remained ST.
lent. When the president concluded,
however, applause was renewed. Even
the suffragists who had dropped the
banner Joined in the applause. The
president finished speaking at Ills
and at once left the house chamber.
No attempt was made to detain the
women when they left the gallery
after the president concluded. Can
itol police and doorkeepers said thew
were without orders to take any ac-
tion except to see that no further in
cidents were attempted.
After leaving the gallery the wom-
en- were congratulated by Miss Lucy
Burns and other suffrage leaders.
The president at the outset referred
to the program of railroad legisla-
ton which he recommended to CON
gress for adoption. His reference to
the S-hour day, compulsory arbitra-
ton, and enlargement of the inter.
state commerce commission was re-
ceived in silence.
The suffragists represented the
congressional union for women suf.
frage and were headed by Miss Alice
Paul, the chairman. Members said
the flag had been put up BY Mrs
John Rogers, of New York, Mrs. Flor

NO CLUE FOUND
TO IDENTITY
Sixty-Five Dollars Taken
From Groceryn1an On
East Hill Last Night.

Three negroes shortly before 10
o'clock last night went into the store
of Peter Panos, at the corner of
Tenth avenue and jackson street, and
robbed the proprietor Of SOS. Two
of the negroes remained outside,
while one went into the store and
when Panos had his attention called
to his supposed customer, he was
looking into the barrel of a loaded re-
volver. This climax was followed
with the command to hand out all his
money and to do it without making a
noise.
Hesitating a moment, the second
negro walked into the store and also
flourished a pistol While one held
his revolver in threatening manner,
the other, apparently having a know
ledge of where the money was kept.
deliberately took all the money which
Panos last night stated was at least
SOS.
Asked if he would recognize the
negroes, Panos said that he did not
remember having seen any of them
before, but that he thought he would
be able to identify at least one of
them if he ever caught sight of him
again
Immediately upon the disappear
ance of the negroes, the police sta
ton was called up and notified of the
occurrence. Officers were called in
and told Of the hold-up, and they we're
quickly on the scene, trying to work
out some clue.
A Suspect Arrested.
Later in the night, Peter Panos,
who said that he would recognize at
least one of the negroes if he ever
saw him again, accompanied Captain
of Police Frank Wilde to the L. q
n. passenger depot and without hest
tation pointed out negro whom he
declared looked like one Of the three
men who took his money. The negro
was promptly arrested and sent to the
city jail, where he was ordered held
without bond, and is charged as
dangerous and suspicious character.
The negro said his name was Wal
ter Griffin, and claimed that he lived
in Milton. He stoutly denied that
he had any part in the hold-up. He
had neither gun or money when
searched. Panos, however, was very
positive in his Identification.

HIS
PREMIERSHIP
King George "Graciously

Members of Cabinet.
BONAR LAW MAY
FILL POSITION
Pertinent May Be Dissolved
and Election Called
Despite Opposition.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Dec. 5.-Premier Asquith
resigned today. An announcement by
the court circular tonight says the
King was graciously pleased to ac-
cept his resignation.
The Premier's decision to resign
and advise the King to summon An
drew Bonar Law to form the cabinet
was taken after a day of extraord1-
nary political excitement.
After consulting with several
unionist leaders, Asquith met his cab
met supporters and it is supposed he
explained to them that he faced al
most insuperable difficulties and In
tended to resign.
Almost Immediately afterwards he
drove to the palace and had an audi
ence with the King.
Asquith became premier in 1908
succeeding Campbell Bannerman. In
conjunction with Lloyd George, he
was the author of many notable re-
forms before the outbreak of the war.
Should Bonar Law decline the pre-
miership, it is believed the portfolio
will be rendered to David Lloyd

mons. There is 4 possibility that par
Lament will be dissolved and gem
eral election called though there is
much opposition to the election on ac-
