The flames were protected by steel

been placed on the floor of the pier

There was only one way to get at
the FIRE, and that was through the plate,

Wilson Aid Backs
Davies as Senator
From Wisconsin
President Said to Have
Taken Hand in Selecting
Hastings Successor
By BRIGGS
tStan Correspondsncsl

WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-President
Wilson, it is believed. has decided to
take a hand in the Senatorial election
in Wisconsin. The death of Senator
Paul o. Husting, who was accidentally
shot by his brother. may bring a test
Of the attitude of Senator La Toilette
toward the war, and the Administra
ton does not want the election to rive
any aid and comfort to Germany
Belief that the President had deter
mined to take a hand was strength
ened to-day, when Senator Willard
Salisbury, of Delaware, President pro
tempore of the Senate, Endorsed Joseph
f. Davies. of the Federal Trade Com
mission. for the vacancy.
Senator salisbury is also chairman
o. the special committee on vacancies
in the Senate. This, coupled with the
fact that the Senator is close to the
President. added significance 20 his
statement in favor of Mr.. Davies.
The President first appointed MI.
Davies head Of the Bureau of Corpora
tions. Later. when the Federal Trade
Commission was created, the President
appointed him first chairman.
When the campaign in Wisconsin Will
begin no one yet knows. Governor
Philip plans to have the special ses-
sion of the Legislature. which will con-
vene soon to consider dry" amend
ment, grant him the power to appoint
a successor to Senator Husting. This
would postpone the fight for A year.
The La Toilette men re opposed to
this. They want 10 force Governor
Philip 10 run for the Senate now. The
reason is that the Lieutenant Gov
oinor, who would take Philips place,
is n La Toilette man. The stalwarts
do not want Governor Philip TO re-
sign.
The La Toilette men in the Legislat
ure sill oppose granting the Governor
power TO appoint Senator. This would
compel Philip to call a special cleo
ton Immediately.

'Drys" Count OH
N. Y. Women Voters
In New Campaign

The prohibitionsts are gathering
their forces for an early drive on New
York State, hoping to win with the aid
OF the women's vote. At the coming
session of Congress the Anti-Saloon
League, representing all elements hos
Tile to the liquor traffic, will introduce
bill providing for countrywide pro-
hibiton during the war and demobli-
zation.
The suffragists and liquor men, how
ever, deny that the women will vote
as a unit against the saloons of New
York State. They assert that the wom
ems vote will be divided. as the mems
are, and that the enfranchisement Of
women will have no effect whatever on
the liquor question in this state.
Public sentiment demands an emer-
gency war prohibition in New York
State, and the achievement of woman
suffrage will make it unsafe for the
legislators to ignore the mothers,
wives, sisters and sweethearts of the
more than 1000 men in France and
the additional numbers in training"
said william II. Anderson, state super
intendent OF the Anti-Saloon League of
New York State, last night.
I'VE believe that the lower house
Of Congress will give the necessary
two-thirds for the submission of the
national prohibition amendment and
that more New York Representatives
will support it since the adoption Of
woman suffrage than would have been
probable before, for suffrage undoubt-
edly will cause New York to be one
of the states which will ratfy it. As
this ratification will take time, the
step now is national prohibition dur
ing the period Of the war and demobi
lization.
Colonel Jacob Rupert. president of
the Brewers Association, disagrees
with these statements.
IL think women will be az sensible
with their vote as men are in voting on
the liquor question: said Colonel Rup-
pert.
81 don't think they will all vote for
license any more than ! think they will
all vote against IL. Men do not all
vote one way. either. you know
I'm my opinion, there will be no ef-
feet whatever from woman suffrage.
There will be no difference at all either
one way or the other" was the asser-
ton of Julius Fleischmann. Of the
Fleischmann Distillery Company"
The statement that prohibition and
suffrage would travel hand in hand in
New York State was doubted by officers
of the New York State Woman Suffrage
party.
"That is something that no one
should prophesy with any degree of as
surance. Nothing can decide that but
an election" said Mrs. Norman der.
Whtehouse, chairman Of the organizs-
ton.
at is impossible to know what l.
500. 200 women voters are going to do
with their vote" declared Mrs. Ray
mond Brown, vice chairman.

Two women in the back of the room
Kissed the name of President Wilson
when Dudley Field Malone mentioned
il during his speech at the Ritz-Carl-
ton yesterday before meeting OF the
National Woman's party, the suttra-
