HUNDLEY SETS OUT
EXACT VIEWS ON
SUFFRAGE ISSUE
Does Not Think Women
Voters Are Any More
Unreliable Than
Men Voters

Judge Oscar r. Hundley's interview in
yesterdays Age-Herald attracted such
widespread interest that he last night
dictated a statnent in which his polit-
ical views are more exactly set out.
The statement addressed to the re-
porter who wrote the original interview
reads as follows:
Your interview with mo in The Age
Herald of today is TOO strong.
THE fact is, | was not aware ] was
being interviewed at the time L was
talking with you, and do not wish to
be quoted as stating in positive terms
that the cause of woman suffrage has
started downward 1 expressed a fear
that it had started downward from the
attitude of a majority of the women
voters in certain suffrage states in re-
gard to Hughes.
II stated they had succeeded in getting
him to indorse the national amendment
mot 'coerced him), and then voted
against him.
II have been always in favor of Civ
ing the ballot to women, and am still
in favor of votes for women, not for
political reasons, but because I think
right. l do not think that the women
voters are any more unreliable than the
men, and while the attitude of the wom-
en- in the suffrage states contributed
greatly to the defeat of Hughes, yet that
was not the only cause of his defeat
1.-THE labor vote cut great figure in
the campaign, and 1 found this situation
no more potently visible than in the
states of Rhode Island and New Hamp-
shire, where the employees in the mills
who had in previous elections always
voted the republican ticket, were lining
up for the democratic ticket on account
of the Adamson bill, known as the
eight-hour law All credit is due the
women of the congressional union and
the woman's party for their loyalty in
support of the principle which was enun-
ciated at the Atlantic City convention
namely, suffrage by federal constitu-
tional amendment, and in their support
of Governor Hughes, because he alone
had the backbone to go beyond his party
platform and declare for this principle.
Il hope that we shall continue to have
prosperous times in this country though
/ have fears in regard to the effect
when peace is restored and business has
to be adjusted to the Underwood tariff
l feel sure that the election of Gov
ernor Hughes would have been of in
estimabe benefit, especially to the Bir-
mingham district"

AMENDS REMARKS

Mr.. Barber quickly amended his re-
marks by applying them to the commits
sion as a whole. II do not believe any
of the commissioners know any more
about what they voted on than before, -
said Mr.. Barber. And he quickly added:
You voted on a case of clemency that
resembled that of the negro such a fuss
was made about last week.
1t was here that Commissioner Wealth
erly got into the fracas.
With slight intonation he remarked to
Mr.. Barber that for the reason he had
just assigned he was in favor of a full
written report being made to each COM
missioner on every case of clemency.

WARD AS SHOCK ABsORBER

Mr. Ward then tried sin every conceiv-
able manner to patch things up" but
his efforts We're of no avail. lie had
acted as very capable "shock absorber'
throughout the meeting, but further than
that he seemed to have difficulty in
pouring Oil upon the troubled waters.
For more than Is minutes the situation
was tense. A pin could be heard in the
office of Commissioner Ward when Mr..
Truss advanced on Mr. Barber. There
Were several spectators besides the re-
porters and commissioners. They We're
silent throughout.
II wish to call an executive session. =
said Mr.. Ward.
The room was cleared of all onlook-
ers and the commission remained clos
eted for a few minutes. Just what the
"secret" conference was about was not
ascertained.
II do not care to cause trouble and
place the commission in a bad light by
any action on my part said Mr.. Truss
as he came out of the room. But
will say l have some regard for my dig
nifty as a commissioner and representa-
tive of the people. shall not be in

1t was evident from the glances ex-
changed between Commissioners Barber
and Truss at the conclusion of the
CLOSED conference that matters We're in

TRUSS SPEAKS HEATEDLY

DR.. Cecil CASTOR, city physician, told
me out of his own mouth this morning
that had he known of the crime Scott
Thomas was convicted of his action

CDR CASTOR told me the negro should
have been shot" shouted Mr.. Truss
Il want to say something else to you
gentlemen" continued Commissioner
Truss, as he waved his arms. There
have been 10 criminal assaults upon in
nocent white women in the community
within 10 months. The negro Scott was
convicted of a crime that rivalled Grim
inal assault. He violated section 1O4l
of the city code" Mr.. Truss then pro-
duced a document signed by the arrest
ing officer and read to the commission
the officers report, which stated that
Scott had been guilty of the act he had
been convicted of on two or three diff
ferent occasions. Il want action. ] want
to know what | am voting on said
Mr.. Truss. Any self-respecting negro
would have dealt summarily with this

Barber. Il know this much There is a

He turned to Mr.. Weatherly and asked
whether or not he (Weatherly) had ever
asked for report on clemency before.
No" said Mr.. Weatherly.
Then why now?' asked Mr. Barber.
There are thousand and one things

HIT BLACKLIST
Huge Mass Meeting Against
British Aggression Held
In BuenOs Ayres
By CHARLES p. STEWART.

(StdR Correspondent United Press
BUENOS AYRES. Sept 1.-THE
greatest demonstration against the
new British blacklist staged in any
country attracted an immense crowd
10 the Plaza Congreso, Sunday aft
ernoorf.
The plaza was packed Ten politi-
cal and patriotic organizations par
ticipated in the demonstration. but
their members were outnumbered by
the great throng OF business men
and their employees who gathered to
protest against the blacklist.
The speakers included some of the
most prominent politicians and pro-
fessional men in the Argentine cap
ital. They ACQUIRED the British OF
attempting TO break down the whole
structure OF international law and
declared that no neutral nation
should submit TO the throttling OF
it's own trade by any beIlgerent.
The retaliatory legislation passed
by the United States congress has
greatly strengthened the hand OF the
opponents of the British blacklist
here. In demanding anti-blacklist
legislation al the Sunday demonstra'
ton several speakers referred to the
stand taken by the United States.
The meeting was advertised by
placards scattered throughout the
city.
