boys found it impossible TO do either,

Mr.. Hughes has said it!

The word for which millions Of
women all over the country have been
waiting with more or less Impotence
the word which the Republican candi-
date for President omitted in his for
NAL speech OF acceptance, was spoken
yesterday afternoon at tea given by
the Women's Roosevelt League for
Hughes at the Hotel Astor. Charles f.
Hughes is in favor of the Federal
amendment for suffrage.
There are now two tea parties of real
significance in the history O. our coun-
try, the sufragists belle, :. One OF
them took place some time ago in Bos-
ton. At the other. yesterday afternoon
Charles +. Hughes pledged his inhu-
ence toward winning for the women OF
the country the political freedom which
the men began to attain at the former
affair.
Hundreds of women went wild with
enthusiasm as the Republican candi-
date for President made known his
stand. From every important political
organization and society in the city
from suffrage clubs. from the Con-
gressional Union, from summer homes
the women had come TO hear what Mr.
Hughes would say on the vital point
of the Susan b. Anthony amendment
They were not so hopeful as they had
been before the formal speech of ac-
ceptance. There was certain terse-
ness in the listening atmosphere, O
distinct reserve in the applause.
He Takes the Pledge.
Then Mr.. Hughes took his stand by
saying:
~ am in favor Of the Federal
amendment. | further believe that il
is a matter affecting the whole coun-
try. II is one of those matters where
we must have a uniform policy. The
country must decide on what that pol
lev should be. / have indicated my
belief as TO what il should be; but il
is question which affects the whole
country, the composition OF oul
electorate: and, therefore, | believe
that the Federal amendment should be
submitted and should be ratified"
At this juncture the Republican
nominee for President was forced to
pause. A wave of applause that shook
the grand ballroom of the Hotel Aston
swept his next words from his mouth
Handkerchiefs and fans and orchids
waved wildly in the air.
whats the matter with Mr.
Hughes ?" called a woman's voice above
the din.
All on Their Feet.
As if il had been summons 10 sa-
Lutte, every woman in the room was
suddenly upon her feet.
"Mr. Hughes! Mr.. Hughes!" they
called.
Twice more the ex-justice tried to &c
on with his speech, and both times he
was interrupted. His coming out ir
favor of the Federal amendmtnt hac
been of especial significance inasmucf
as now only one party-the Demo
cratic-stands out in opposition to tn,
women.
At last Mr. Hughes went triumphant
ly on to his conclusion:
81 desire 20 say that | am here tc
give myself unreservedly to the ser
vice OF the United States, and ! wan
the support of the women Of the coun
try"
At the unqualified applause that fol
lowed this closing statement, a tall

sion Is Told.

Washington, Aug. Testimony to
the effect that one manufacturing con-
Germ, producing O-e-third Of the print
paper supplies used in the United
States, had more than q million dollars
worth OF news print paper in storage
and that there is collision among the
manufacturers forcing up the price of
news print paper was given at hear
ing begun before the Federal Trade
Commission to-day.
The investigation was ordered by
the Senate to determine whether there
has been an undue increase in the
price Of news print paper.
Speaking in behalf of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association, r.
y. Glass, its vice president, told the
commission It was the belief OF the as
ISOLATION that a number of mills are
making paper cheaper than ever before
and that there is opportunity for mills
properly conducted to turn out paper
cheaper than publishers can buy 1t at
now.
Mr.. Glass further testified that the
newspapers were facing a crisis, in
many cases being compelled 70 meet
20 10 30 per cent advance in price
of paper, and Shat Il was almost I'M
possible 10 get contracts to run after
January. 1917. He declared the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers Associa-
tion TO be morally certain collision
exists among the manufacturers.
Information regarding the storage OF
more than a million dollars worth OF
news print paper was furnished by
j. H. Zerbey. of Pennsylvania, repre-
senting the National Editorial Asso-
citation. P. T. Dodge informed the
commission that he was the head Of
the company referred to-the Inter
national Paper Company.
Mr.. Dodge declared that his company
had never failed its customers in times
Of fire. food, strike, etc, and that II
was to keep up this reputation that
it laid aside this vast supply Of news
print paper. He said that, despite large
timber holdings and good mills, his
company is able to pay only per cent
