The first step toward providing

DELAYS PRESIDENTS SPEECH
Ten EXultant Women Proudly
March From Hall After
Carrying Out Plans.
CHEERS FOR EXECUTIVE
Democrats and Republicans
Join in Demonstration;
Urges Railroad Action.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-President
Wilson's address to congress today was
marked by a woman suffrage coup in
the galleres-the first real show OF
organized militancy in the capital
and by great demonstration of con-
graduation to the president on his
reelection in which many Republic
ans joined with the Democrats.
After acknowledging the prolonged
cheers and applause which greeted
his entry to the hall OF the house the
president launched into his address,
reviewing recommendat'o for rail
road legislation. a corrupt practice act
and had passed to his recommended
tons for a broader government for
Porto Rico. He was just about to be-
gin sentence:
The present laws governing the
island and regulating the rights and
privileges of its people are not just"
when over the rail of the gallery where
sat party of woman suffrage lead
ers there fluttered down above the
heads Of an amazed assemblage OF
senator's and representatives a silk en-
barner of suffrage yellow bearing in
great black letters the inscription:
Up TO the President.
"PRESIDENT WILSON: WHAT
WILL YOU DO FOR WOMAN SUF
FRAGE?"
The suffragists said afterward it
was their protest against the presi-
dents plea with congress for broader
suffrage for the, men of Porto Rico
while he did not mention their own
cause in his address.
As the banner rippled down the sur
fragists sat smiling and unrerturbed
watching the effect. A diminutive
page raised on the arms of men di-
rectly under the gallery grasped the
edge of the banner and snatched 1t
down. President Wilson, attracted by
the stir, looked up from his reading
and, apparently taking in the situation
at a glance, smiled broadly and with
out hesitation or interruption turned
his eyes back TO his manuscript and
cortii ued his address to its end with
out further demonstration.
Police Don't Interfere.
Policemen and gallery guards hur-
ried to where the women were seated,
but contented themselves with watch
ing the party as If to prevent fur
ther outbreak.
When the joint session was over the
suffragists filed out unmolested by
the police. who said they had no or
ders other than to prevent any fur
ther infringement of the rules OF the
house. The banner remained tro-
ply with the sergeant-at-arms.
AS il turned out, the women had
their plans laid with precision and
