WILSON'S REPLY
TO SUFFRAGISTS
A DECISIVE mo"
Will Not Declare in Favor
Of Constitutional
Amendment
ISSUE FOR THE STATES
BY JOHN EDWIN NEvIN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1i--President Will
son will stand pat" on his declaration that
the states, and not the nation, should de.
eide the question OF suffrage. He will not
declare in favor of the proposed constltu.
uonnl amendment, the White House said
today even though the womens' party ma
tonal conference, now in session in Colo.
rado Springs, adopts resolutions condemn.
ing his candidacy.
on behalf Of the President the statement
was made at the White House today that
he espoused equal suffrage as a State issue
long before he had even decided to become
candidate for reelection and that he can.
not change his position now to suit the
leaders Of the suffrage movement In the
states where the women have the vote.
The Presidents political managers will
not be surprised should the Colorado
Springs conference lndorse the candidacy
of Justice Hughes. but they insisted today
that this would aid the President in many
OF the big eastern States while he will by
no means abandon the hope that when he
again publicly explains his position he will
get goodly percentage OF the suffrage
votes In the Pacific slope States
Meanwhile. as Justice Hughes continues
his western trip directly charging the Ad-
ininistration with political 'logrollinR.r
violations of the civil service" "extrava-
sance in off1ce" and '1ncapaoty in admins-
tsring the affairs of the country" the bit
terness In Administration circles continues
II has been decided that all of the Cabinet
officers will take the stump so soon as the
Democratic campaign Is opened.
The President again talked politics with
his Cabinet members today. The general
issues OF the campaign were discussed and
each department has been directed to fur.
nish material for carrying on an aggressive
light right UP to election day. Great stress
IL to be put on the claim that the present
prosperity OF the country is not due TO
war orders In this connection the orators
OF tho Administration will dwell on the great
Increase In the trade to South and Central
America and to Canada. and also will call
attention to the fact that n serious car
shortage confronts the business interests
OF the country due to the great increase
In general business everywhere.
The White House statement on the PresI.
dents attitude toward women suffrage is
regarded as definite and final reply to
the woman's party in session at Colorado
Springs, which decided yesterday to give
the President until tonight TO make an an.
nouncement of where ne stands on the pro.
posed amendment to the Constitution

Although the five steps extended only ~
inches above the sidewalk he salu, ne

in the halI of Mrs. steigerwaid's home. II
contained a hair pin He took the evi-
dence TO Central station, believing II might
substantiate the theory that there was

Mrs. Stegerwald, who was arrested on
a charge OF suspicion OF homicide, has peen @
released on $1,000 bail. William j. Van

leased on petition of her attorney EVeret.

the District Attorney
THEORY OF FIGHT IN HOUSE
The police are working on a theory that
Frankenfeld, when he was refused admis-
sion to Mrs Steigerwalds house, broke
through the door and a fight followed in the
hall of the house. Here Is where the turf
of hair and hair pin are significant
Al the house where Frankenfleld was
picked up the police found beside, Mrs Stel-
gerwald. AZ years old Evelyn Young, 30
wears old and Anna S. Pardee 25 years
old, They denied any acquaintance with
FrankenReld but their stories varied to
such an extent as to arouse the suspicious
OF the police and they were taken to the
City Hall to be interrogated by Captain
Tate. Later they had a hearing before
Magistrate Beaton.
Now Mrs. Stegerwad says she denied
having known Frankenfeld to protect his
and his widow from the notoriety
of H. She said that Frankenheld always
came to her house when he had been drink
ing, and that on such occasions she saw
that hte was put to bed and allowed ito

vas so much haste In washing away the
blood is another question the police are
asking
Later she said she had realized that she
might be brought into court because OF the
ieath and telephoned to her attorney She
said her regular attorney seldom practices
