HOPING DEMOCRATS
 WILL ACT FAVORABLY
Suffragists Regard Attitude
 of Leaders as Friendly
BOTH SIDES ACTIVE
Antis on Ground and Working Hard as We'll as Advocates of Equal Suf- frage-Cannot Longer Afford to
 Ignore the Issue, They Say

St. Louis, June 12-Hope was high in suffrage circles tonight that the demo- cratic national convention will incor- porate an equal rights plank of some form in it's platform.
 No official declaration of the conven- tions intention was forthcoming, but suf- fragists regard the attitude of many dem- ocratic leaders as friendly. They were busy today working among the more widely known democrats, and tonight, with tentative arrangements made for a hearing by the resolutions committee, probably Wednesday, they were optims- tic. The women noted with interest the attention democrats have paid to the re- publican platform declarations on suf- frage and declared that the democratic party no longer can afford to ignore the issue.
 Mrs. Arthur Dodge of New York, leader of anti-suffrage forces is here to oppose favorable mention of equal rights in the platform. National Chairman McCombs said tonight she probably would be giv- en as much time as the suffragists. The National American Woman Suffrage as- socation and Congressional union and it's auxiliary, the womans party, will divide the time equally for the plank.
 The national association advocates only favorable declaration for suffrage while the union and the woman's party desire immediate congressional action on the Aylf6

STILL FAR APART
 ON WAGE QUESTION Most Crucial Point in Ne gotiations Today
END IS THREATENED
Representatives of Railway Brother hoods and Railway Committee AL most at Breaking POint-Tenta-
 tive Proposition Is Rejected

New York, June 12.-Representatives or the chief railroads of the United States and of the unions of railroad employees were far from an agreement on ques- tions of wages and hours of work when an adjournment of their conference was taken late today. Upon the detailed ex- planaton tomorrow of the railroads counter or contingent" proposition, it was predicted by A. B. Garretson, presi- dent of the Order of Railway Conduc- tors, would depend the future attitude of the railroad men, even to the point of ordering strike vote among the 35O,000 members of the unions.
 MT. Garretsons prediction was prompted by the fact that during the day the conference came suddenly to a halt when the railroads contingent" propo- sition tentatively granting the demanded eight-hour day, but refusing double com pensation for double service was re- | jected.
 PROPOSITION REJECTED We have already rejected the rail- roads proposition, name 1t what you will,'' said President Garretson. We
  the record in detail. There does not seem to be anything else to discuss when the railroads finish tomorrow. If the rail- roads do not back down from their posi- tion that their proposition must be based on their yard stick method, then there is no further necessity for continuing the conference.
 MT. Garretson and the other brother hood leaders stated that if the conference breaks up tomorrow they will report back to the men and vote on general strike will be taken. Then they will return to the railroads and renew their de- mands. If they are refused the general strike will be called.
 The conference threatened to come to an end today immediately after Elisha Lee, chairman of the railroad managers and of the conference, read an outline of the Contingent proposition. An ad journment was taken until late in the day and then it was decided to suspend final action until the. railroads proposal had been heard in detail.
 SITUATION IS SERIOUS
 MT. Lee admitted tonight that the sit uation was serious but was hopeful for the establ shment of a middle ground that would permit the continuation of the conference. He explained that the contingent offer was predicted on the mems demands and granted everything but the double compensation feature. The men claim that the exclusion of the dou- ble compensation clause would mate rially decrease their earning power.
 It was announced at the conclusion of the meeting that w. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, will arrive here from Denver tonight to attend tomorrows conference.

BORAH TELEGRAM PLEASES

| National association members were 1 elated tonight by a telegram from Sena- I tor Borah, who assisted in drafting the republican platform, declaring that docu- ! ment was intended to indorse equal suf- | frage unqualifiedly. The telegram, ad- I dressed to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt reads:
 Suffrage plank of the republican platform is an unqualified indorsement of WomanS suffrage It unmiatakably fa- Vors the extension of suffrage to women, and favors it as a matter of justice. This is not subject to possible ambiguity The only question left open is that of the method of securing it. The plank rec ognizes the right of each state to settle the question itself, but it does not de- clare against the taking away of that right.
 Tt was my view at the time of the adoption of the amendment in the com mittee, and is still my view, that upon the question of the federal amendment the plank was silent and neither rejected it nor indorsed it.''
 The plank the national association will ask the democrats to insert in their plat ford reads:
 Believing that governments derive their just power from the consent Of the gov- erred, we acknowledge the right of wom- en to participate in government and fa- Vor their enfranchisement"

ROSA PROMISED SUPPORT

San Antonio, June 12.-Army officers here are convinced that Louis De La Rosa secured from certain officers of Carran za's army promises of support in any border warfare that he may begin against Americans. Agents of the department of justice at Washington and of the state department have sent to Washington and to army headquarters here evidence tha t is regarded by officers here as reliable that De La Rosa has been given some assurance that he will not be molested by de facto government troops and from at least one general officer of Carranza' S army the promise of active cooperation.
 Not all of Carranzas officers are said to be in the plot and General Funston credited General Ricaut with all sincerity when he told General Mann at Laredo that he would make such disposition of his troops along the border as to prevent if possible, any raiding by De La Rosa or other bandit leaders.
 Reports that De La Rosa had been arrested at Monterey had not been confirmed tonight. He has been enter ing and leaving Monterey with appar- ent immunity for sometime and army officers here have taken that as an in- dication that only feeble efforts were being made tO "a ptJJra him

BANDITS ELIMINATED

large part of the little band of raiders that appeared on Colema n s ranch already has been eliminated and armed civilians and American soldiers were securing the country in the vi- cinity of Webb late today in an effort to wipe out the remainder. It was feared here that De La Rosa's plan Of campaign might include the dispatch ing of bands of such small numbers that running them down would be more difficult than if larger units were em- ployed From Brownsville to points in the Big Bend district American sol- diers now are patrolling the Rio Grande to prevent the crossing of oth- CT raiders but the military fence is far from tight and General Funstcn's in sistence that he be given more troops will not. it was stated tonight be les sened by the sending of one thousand more coast artillerymen and a battalion of engineers
 The coast artillerymen that have been ordered will be sent immediately to border stations. but to just what points has not been determined The engineering force probably will be sta- toned in the vicinity of one or more of the bridges crossing the Rio Grande.
 Passengers coming from Mexico re- port increasing economic difficulties in Mexico and growing anti-Ameri- - can feeling, especially in the northern part of the republic. Official sanction has been secured for holding anti American meetings that have taken place in many towns. A copy of La Reforma. published at Saltillo, reached here today, in which four columns were used to explain why all residents of the place should participate in a mass meeting that had been called there to protest against the "intrigues Of the White House" and to display their loyalty in the event of hostilities between Mexico and the United States La Reforma is regarded as a semi official newspaper.
 Philip c. Hanna at Monterey and J. R. Silliman at Saltillo are the only re- maining American consular officers at interior points in Mexico. Those who were ordered out from Chihuahua, Dur ango and Aguas Calientes and other points recently have not yet been noti- fled to return.
