Albany. March IA Senator Elon ~.
Brown again defcd the organized suf-
fragists of New York when he refused
to-day to allow the Whitney Brereton
bill TO be reported out Of the Senate
Judiciary Committee. Five hundred
sufTragists who had waited all the
afternoon at the committees door,
were sent away without word Of
apology or explanation. "Action has
been indefinitely postponed" vas the
only word TO them.
Diplomacy gave way to indignation
81 this insult. and the leaders issued
call then and there for n mass
meeting of protest in Cooper Union,
New York. on Thursday evening.
This blow from the Senate quite
overshadowed in the sufragists' minds
the fact that they had won a great
victory in the Assembly. One hundred
and nine votes were cast for the suf-
frage referendum bill and only thirty
against it. The women burst into
cheers, echoed by a band out in the
street, when the verdict was an
nounced.
The cheers soon died away, however.
Out Of the victory a defeat was 20 be
born. and the women seemed to know
IT, Almost silently they crossed from
the Assembly to the Senate side o.
the Capitol and there waited before
the door of the Judiciary Committee
Instead of rejoicing over their victory,
they fell 70 wondering whether It
would react unfavorably on the Sena-
torial mind.
The pessimist proved TO be right

Angry Sufragists Call Mass Meeting Here

Instead of yielding gracefully and fall
ing into line with their colleagues Of
the Assembly, the anti-sufragists Of
he Judiciary Committee seemed TO be
irritated at the success of tho enemy,
and determined to do nothing TO give
the women further cause for rejoicing
to-day.
Senator Brown, who last night most
afably discussed the situation with
Mrs. Norman de X. Whitehouse. Mrs.
James Lees Laidlsw and Mrs. Ogden
Mills Reid, suddenly became unap-
proachable. The women waited an
hour before the closed doors of the
committee room. Then Mrs. White
house mounted chair and faced her
friends, white faced and angry.
"A week ago." she said, 1--WE were told
that final action would be taken to-day
on our bill Now we find that there is
a public hearing set for this hour, and
no one seems to know anything about
VIXEN our bill will be acted upon. ]
don't know what it means, but intend
to find out. Will you please go quickly
in squads and get your luncheons and
then come back here and wait?"
Rumors spread through the corri-
dors that Senator Brown had been talk
ing anti-sufrage TO the members of the
committee. The suifragists have
claimed a majority of nine to four in
their favor. and 1t Is because of this
that the Republican leader objected to
action upon the matter.
Rumors grew that several members
were wavering, among them Senator
Morris Halliday, of ithaca. lmmedi-

FL Paso, March 14.-El Paso is
wondering tonight why the Carran-
"a government, which asserts IL is
sending $4,000 men in pursuit Of
Villa, should find it necessary to
move troops to the border, while
Villa admittedly is more than 200
miles from the Rio Grande.
The arrival in Juarez to-day OF
General Luis Guiterrez with 500
men, following the coming Of as
many more of his army two days
ago. and the failure Of Americans
to learn that any troops are being
sent from the border 10 pursue Villa,
leads to the belief that Carranza o1i-
cials are massing troops on the Dor
der for purpose which has nothing
TO do with Villas pursuit
From the best information obtain
able. with war time secrecy being
maintained in Juarez, there are
! 800 Mexican soldiers in Juarcz,
with more on the way. IN Juarez
the only information given out is
that the troops are TO be sent into
the Galeana district in pursuit Of
Villa.

evening to consider a request from the
Administrative Board concerning the
removal of Dr. Weatherly. was post
poned to the regular meeting or the

Those present were Chairman Pep1e,

1t is believed the staff will take
little time in disposing of the question.
as II is agreed by members that the
ministrative Board wishes simply
to know the status of the case OF
Peerman Barlow, who suffering with
tonsilitis. desired an operation. which
was refused by DIR. Weatherly, on the
grounds. as he explains that the case
was not ready for an operation at the
time.
The staff does not consider that the
Administrative Board wishes 1t TO pass
upon the attitude of DR.. Weatherly.
nor upon his manner, when he notified
Chairman Hirschberg. OF the board,
that he was tired performing char
table operations. and would not do so
again until he had taken vacation.
This latter phase will be eliminated
