problem to the government, she said, to make it advisable to introduce an equal number of unintelligent women to add to the tribu1ations and expense of the country This would be ex- ceptionaI1y notable in the crowded eastern states. It would let into vote many ignorant negro women of the south whose husbands and fathers now have no vote.
 Women are not considered despots and a class apart from men, but one class of women have interests in com mon with that class Of men and there fore their views are refecetd at the polls through the menfoIks4 even now, she said.
 After 45 years of vote in some western states Mrs. Goodwin alleged, anti -suffragists cannot see any ma terial Improvement from the experi- 1aent .'They do not have a single 1aw.'' said Mrs Goodwin. looking towards the benefit of womanhood or childhood that was not also first on the statute books of the male suffrage states. There were many such as the maternity laws eon eastern statutes that the west did not have.5
 Women suffragists have uncertain political and somewhat unethical ideas said the stAnti,'' and she quoted directly from speeches of Anna Shaw and other suffrage leaders de- manding that if these statements are believed by the sunragist, the con servative and the feminist, they are uncertain and unethical and if not believed, their leaders should be de- posed.
 Proba bly, the hardest blow that was delivered to suffrage last night was in the rebutta1, when Mrs. Goodwin declared that women who want to vote oh political questions should first remember that their traditional pre- rogative of handling servants, which had descended unhampered by man for. generations, is still the most per- picking question and one of the most inef1ciently governed, known to man.
 Mrs Hepburn. whose ready wit was equal to all occasions last night, had facts and figures presented that called for equal display. Whether or not this was forthcoming, will pro obably never be known, as the majority of those present, including many male and women Socialists of note, were in fa-. vor of suffrage from the taking of the initial secret ballot

 Lot in West End.

Thousands of miles away from home with the ocean between him and a widow and three children surviving hixn, Waller Miksa, aged AS, the sui circus lot yesterday, was buried this afternoon in the Ahawath Achun (Brotherly Love) Jewish cemetery by Undertaken Sfgmund Bohrers The repor tof Medical Examiner s. M, Gar lick gives the cause of death as sui eide brought on by despondency and iii health.
 Worry over a decline, in health and the loss of his fortune ih the old eoun- try due to the ravages of the invad- ing armies during the present war in Europe, caused him to kill himself.
 John Magera, aged 12, of 11S Pine street, saw the body lying in the lot while on his way to school in the
 morning but he gave it but little rtz tention until he again discovered it in the same posture when on his way to the afternoon session of school. He then examined the body and found that tfie man was dead. Beside him lay a .32 calibre revolver with one discharged cartridge.
 Magera notified the police who, in turn notified Medical Examiner s. M. sGarlick Tn one of the iovercoat pockets of the dead man was found a note written in Hungarian. The note said that Abraham Levy, a tailor of BIT Spruce street, and Leopold Cohen, city court interpreter, were relatives of the deceased man.
 It is said that in the little Hungar- ian village where lives the family of the deceased, he was looked upon as a wealthy man until the war came on. With the beginning of the war went his fortune which was mostly all con- fiscated by the government. Miksa then decided to come to this country to work for his wife and three chil- dren and endeavor to regain his lost wealth He had a few odd jobs af- ter coming here but of late had been unable to work. This, coupled with i'll health which was rapidly taking a hold on him. led Miksa to commit

KENTUCKY WEATHER AND CROP
SUMMARY

High temperatures prevailed during
the first part of the week, but attend
ing and following general rains of
Thursday and Friday the weather was
cool and pleasant. Beneficial showers
occurred over most of the state, the
exception being the Blue Grass re-
gion and central counties, where rain
is now much needed, 1t being too dry
for blowing. Fall blowing is well ad-
vanced except in the dry districts.
Considerable progress is being made
in cutting corn for fodder and en-
silaPe. Between sixty and seventy
five per cent of the tobacco has been
cut and housed There was some re-
port of local damage through "house-
burning" in the Burley district. due to
the hot and damp weather about the
middle of the week. But such dam
age was slight and not extensive. The
apple crop Is generally poor.

WALLOP AT AMBASSADORS TAKEN
by SECTION OF GERMAN PRESS
AS RESULT OF ALLEGED
UTTERANCE ON SUBMA.
RINE WARFARE.

Berlin, September 1S--The Ameri-
can Ambassador, James w. Gerard,
again is under fire of section of the
German press, this time for a remark
attributed to him regarding a speech
made recently by DR.. Gustav Strese-
mann, National Liberal member of the
Reichstag, advocating. among other
things, resumption Of the subma-
rine warfare.
Ambassador Gerard is quoted as
saying that he did not understand how
the representatives of districts, for
which export to America was a vital
question, could advocate ruthless sub
marine warfare.
The National Liberal Press Agency,
in a communication to the newspapers,
takes the Ambassador to task for what
is termed "unwarranted Intervention
in a purely German question:" and
says that the Ambassadors remark is
characterized by that naive presump-
tiveness which believes that the de-
cision affecting Germany's political
future will be dictated by Germany's
American export interests
The agency declares that AmaDassa-
dor Gerard would do better to leave to
the responsible German authorities tn"
decision on what use is to be made OF
the means at their command against
England, and adds:
The art and manner in which Am
bassador Gerardand not for the first
time-looks after British interests is
extremely characteristic of his gem
eral attitude"
The American Ambassador, in reply
says that he never heard of Dr. Strese-
mann's speech, and certainly never
made any public utterance Of the ma
ture attributed to him. His attitude
on the submarine issue, he declares,
is based on pro-American. not pro-
British. motives.
