BACK HUGHES, T. R.
TELLS The WOMEN
Those in Enfranchised
States Must Do Duty by
Nominee, He Says.

NEW YORK, Aug. II. Theo-
dore Roosevelt gave his unqualified ap-
proval today 10 the enactment of a
federal amendment providing for
woman suffrage. He indOrsed the
position taken on this question by
Charles E. Hughes. Republican nomi-
nee. and declared all women who fail
TO support Hughes in the states where
II ey Fave votes are not dong their
duty for their sisters in the nonen-
franchised states.
Miss Alice Carpenter. chairman of
the New York city committee of the
Hughes allia ace. asked Roosevelt's
opinion on the proposed formation of
a womdn's party organization in the
suffrage states to help force the pas
sage of the federal amendment. The
arguments against the scheme, she
stated, are that the time is not ripe
and that the formation of the wom-
ems party would mean political black
mail and create sex antagonism. In
reply Roosevelt stated
In answer to your question, | take
pleasure in saying that / welcome the
formation of an organization specially
organized in the suffrage states to Sc
cure the passage Of the federal
amendment.
THE time is ripe for the passage of
the amendment. There is a more
widespread demand for it than for the
Passage of anv recent constitutional
amendment. Twelve states already
have enfranchiscd women without
producing to even the smallest degree
any of the evils prophesied
The women in these IL states
should certainly use this ballot on be-
half Of their sisters in the other states.
Such action is precisely that of the
men who use theic ballots, to force
the abolition Of child labor, the pas
sage of the workmen's compensation
laws. the adoption of a protective tar
iff. for the military and naval pre-
paredness, which is vital to the very
existence of the nation
ut is absurd to stigInatize one
movement as blackmail, unless the
other movements are also stigmatiZed
as blackmail. AS for sex antagon-
ism. Z that is due to the men who dis
criminate against women purely be-
cause of sex and not 20 the women
who merely seek to do away with
such discrimination.
The special women's organizations
should act in this matter as men (and
wcmen) do in the movements for ma
tional defense. They should not par
don misconduct or mischievous and
wrongheaded attitude in a public man,
merely because he is right on this
question. but they should make his
attitude on this question the consder-
alton Of primary importance.
"Mr. Hughes has unequivocally
taken the right position, and as re-
CARDS all other positions he, and not
his opponent, is entitled TO the sup
port of both men and women, and,
therefore. the women IN the enfran-
chised states, who do not in this cleo
ticn support him. forfeit the right to
say they have done th"ir utmost for
their sisters in the nonenfranch!sed
states.

TOXIC. Aug. lit is too early to
indicate with certainty the program
to be followed by the Japanese navy.
but, according to the press, naval
leaders of the empire will insist in
the next diet upon an important build
ing policy. For some years the i'm
preston has been growing in Japan
that the navy has been dropping be
hind, that it consists OF too many old
fighting ships.
Five modern superdrcadnaughts
are either built or building, and it is
expected that the navy will request
authority to build three more and
two new battle-cruisers with the
next seven years This will not satisfy
the more ardent eXpansionists. but it
is believed that it is all the diet can
be induced to ratify.

Japanese officials refuse to make
any statement concerning the pro-
gram, which they say is only in the
formative stage. 1t seems likely that
the information will be presented to
parliament next autumn, but until
then nothing will be given out. At
all events, dispatches to American
newspapers stating that Japan has al
ready authorized four superdread-
naughts and that she will continually
increase her naval program to 1928
are untrue.

DRUMRlGHT CHIEF OF
POLICE FATALLY SHOT
ERNEST KELLER LOSES LIFE IN
GUN FIGHT WITH TWO THIEVES
WHO ARE CAUGHT
Wounded in Battle; One Bur-
glar Is Shot.

Special to The World
DRUMRIGHT, Okla. Aug. IL
Chief OF Police Ernest Keller was shot
and killed here Thursday night during
gun fight with two thieves along
the Santa Fe tracks. and j. w Rippey,
special officer received flesh wound
while one of the thieves was shot
through the shoulder. Both men
were captured.
About 10 o'clock someone, using the
telephone, notified Chief Keller that
thieves were ransackng packing
plant at the edge of town. Keller
went to a local show house where he
found Rippey and from there the two
went in Rippeys automobile to a
place near the packing plant.
Keller and Rippey left the automo-
bile and walked along the track. Two
men approached and Chief Keller
commanded them to hold up their
hands. A volley of pistol shots was
the response. and Chief Keller fell
dead with a bullet through his right
chest. Rippey. from his side of the
track fired alternately at the two
thieves, until he saw one fall and the
other flee. Rippey was out of am
munition and ran to a nearby house
where he secured assistance and a
winchester rifle. He returned to the
point where he had seen one of the
thieves fall. He opened fire on an OBJ
jeCt he believde to be one Of the
thieves and discovered he had riddled
railroad switchboard. A search
of the surrounding district revealed
the wounded man concealed in a
ditch, and his companion in an out
house near by. Both are now in Jail
at Drumright. The wounded man may
recover.
Keller was about 35 years old
and married. He became chief of po-
lice at Drumright last May.

WILSON MUST TAKE
STAND FOR WOMEN
Or the Party Leaders Will
Turn Whole Organiza-
ton to Hughes.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. Aug.
11.-Woman's party leaders at the
opening session Of a threc-day ma
tonal conference here today con-
sidered informally the election policy
of the party during the forthcoming
campaign and outlined program of
activity to be pursued in the IL equal
suffrage safes.
Leaders tonight were uncertain as
to the form in which the woman s.
party announcement of policy would
be officially made. Certain women
prominent in the councils of the or
ganization favored resolutions defini-
tely withdrawing the support of the
party from the Democratic admins
tration without formal Endorsement of
other presidential candidates of
parties. Other leaders suggested for
NAL Endorsement of the parties which
had endorsed the equal suffrage
movement, while another element
urged the Endorsement of Charles f..
Hughes, the Republican nominee, as
the best means of obtaining the en-
actment OF the federal suffrage
amendment
National officers declared the party
would await action by President Will
son or congress with an open mind"
until late tomorrow when formal ac-
ton would be taken in executive ses-
sion, following which an announce
ment of policy would be made at
public mass meeting.
Few leaders expressed hope that
the national administration would
accord the desired assurances of sup
port for national woman suffrage.
Among those moro hopeful, however,
WIS Mrs. William Kent of California,
who said ''it was entirely within the
range of possibility" that President
Wilson send an endorsement of the
Woman's party program before to-
morrows meeting.
Miss Doris Stevens of Nebraska
speaking at reception today ex-
pressed the belief that the Woman's
party will never have to be called into
conference again, for before 1918 its
task probably will have been accom-
Probably will have been accom-
plished."

Peril in Cleanliness.

With sobs in his voice the applicant
for meal and some old clothes had
told his story, and the kind hearted
woman had helped him.
Now he sat eating a hunk of bread
and cheese and she thought it wise TO
get IN little good advice. SO she ho-
gan:
Don't you think that-er--it would
be better for yourself If you used soap
and water occasionally"
The tramp sighed dolcully.
II would, ma'am. but the truth is
that there's so many different kinds of
soap. and it's hard TO know which is
injurious to the skin, and I'm afraid
to take any risks"
