James E. Henry Makes Pro-
t,st TO Council Against

MOVIE" AS. OCIATION
ALSO MAKES PROTEST

Two letters Of protest from the
atrical and amusement men we're pre-
scented 10 City Council last night.
The first one was from James y.
Henry. president Of the Henry e.
Young Amusement Company. who OBJ
iected to the practice Of permitting
outside carnivals to operate within
the city limits. thus injuring the busi-
ness OF the amusement enterprises
here. Mr.. Henry called the attention
Of City Council 10 the fact that he
had registered such a protest a year
ago. and that nothing had ever come
OF It.
The letter stated that there had
been an outside carnival or show of
some kind operating In this city prac-
tically every week this summer. and
he thought IL unfair to local amuse-
ments. The carnivals have been
brought here i'm connection with
benefits OF some kind He said that
most OF the money earned by these
travelling carnivals is taken out Of
the city. while that received by the
local show people is banked IN VIII
mington. The letter also intimated
that quarantine regulations had not
been so strictly enforced by these
outside carnival companies as at the
local parks. The letter closed with
the request that some action looking
10 the better protection Of home con-
Germs be taken. Council referred the
communication 10 the committee OF
the whole
The other letter was from the Nov
ing Picture Association and was a re-
quest that the quarantine restrictions
against children attending moving
picture shows he made 10 affect child

ton stated that one-third the patrons
Of moving pictures are children be.
tween the ages OF 70 and 10 and that
since the ban was placed on the the
aires by the Board Of Health their
business has fallen off greatly. The
letter called attention to the fact that
only one death Of child over 70
years Of age has occurred I'm this city
from infantile paralysis. and asked
for a more liberal application OF the
quarantine regulations. The com
municntion was referred 20 the Board
of Health.

SUFFRAGISTS MAY
ADOPT NEW NAME
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., Sept S.
The name National Woman Suffrage
Party" may supplant National Amer
lean Women's Suffrage Association,
as the title OF the national organiza-
ton Of suifragists following a discus
sion at this afternoons session OF the
convention. The women advocating
the change declare the present name
too cumbersome. They believe their
proposal will go through by a big
vote.
The convention will also consider
the adoption of a new national em-
blem. The design suggested by
Pennsylvania delegates, a flag with a
yellow tSld In the center of which is
an eagle. with oW-strotched wings,
standing upon a globe-is most favor
ed. Surrounding the eagle and the
globe are eleven stars symbolical OF
the States in which women enjoy the
franchise. This dag is regarded as
more artistic and expressive than the
present yellow Gag of the suffragists.
n the new flag Is adopted, State
divisions Of the association may use
IL. substituting their State emblems
for the eagle and globe.
Nominations we're TO be made today
for three offices on the National
board Mrs. Frank Roessing, first
vice-president.: Miss Hanna ]. Patter-
son. corresponding secretary, and
Mrs. James W Morrison, recording
secretary, will resign. Mrs Walter

Delegates TO the convention on the
eve of President Wilson's address,

to secure suffrage for women, when
I they adopted a platform outlined by
