SILENT SENTINELS TO HAUNT
WILSON IN SUFFRAGE FIGHT

Washington, January 9-Woman
suffragists, after another futile appeal
to President Wilson today for his sup
port of the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment. announced plans for retaliation
by picketing the White House grounds
with silent sentlnels." Their purpose
is to make 1t impossible for the Pres
ident to enter or leave the White
House without encountering sentinel
bearing some devices pleading the suf
frage cause.
The move was acknowledged to be
step in the new policy Of mild
militancy, which began with the coup
in the House gallery on December 8,
when a party of suffragists unfurled
Votes for Women banner while the
President was making his opening ad-
dress
What the White House authorities
will do about the pickets the suffrag-
lists intend to leave for development
After the women had their audience
today they returned to headquarters
of the Congressional Union, formed
their new plans and held meeting
pledging $4,000 for the "silent gen.
tiner campaign.
Headed by Miss Maud Younger ant
Mrs. Sara Bard Field. 300 suffragists
from the Congressional Union went t
see the President, ostensibly to pre-
sent memorials on the death Of Mrs
Inez Milholland Boissevain. Recaus,
Of the affair in the House gallery II
December, there was some difficult!
in arranging the audience, but thu
President consented to receive the
women. When they made it the oc
casion to renew their pleas that h,
support the suffrage amendment, thu
President expressed his surprise, re
minded the Spokesman of the part!
that he had not been appraised OF theil
full purpose and was not prepared t.
say any more than he had on pre-
vious occasions. He repeated that h,
believed personally in their cause, bu
as the leader of his party could no
commit it to action 1t had not en-
dorsed. The President added he coulC
not understand why women failed t.
realize that the Democratic party hat
done more for suffrage than the Re
publicans.

PROBE OF "LEAK" TO BE DROP.
PED, IS INDICATION

Washington, January 9--Although
Thomas W. Lawson promised today
to disclose names and amounts" in
volving men high in official life II
Congress ordered an inquiry into the
alleged leak in advance of President
Wilson's peace note. there were in
dcations tonight that the House Rules
Committee was about to drop its hear
ings on the Wood resolution for such
an investigation and return the reso-
luton to the House with an adverse
report.
Democratic members of the Com
mittee freely expressed their willing
ness over the proceedings of the last
few days, and their conviction, not
only that nothing to warrant further
inquiry had been brought out so far
but that Mr.. Lawson knew nothing to
substantiate his sweeping charges
Lawson Defies Committee
Mr. Lawson continued today to defy
the committee, refusing over and over
again to give the names Of the men
he said he had been told profted by
the leak" after suggesting that he
could name an official higher up than
any yet mentioned. Four motions to
cite him before the bar of the House
for contempt, pending when he left
the witness stand early in the day,
were considered by the committee In
executive session. No decision was
reached but some of the members indi-
Gated later that Mr.. Lawson pr )bably
would not be recalled, and that if it
was determined to report the Wood
resolution unfavorably, the contempt
charges would be forgotten. In the
meantime, the financier remained in
Washington, subject to the commit
tees orders.
The hearings will continue through
out tomorrow at least, to give several
of the men mentioned in the various
reports and rumors related before the
committee an opportunity to make
statements.

.ASuggestion
Tobacco Growers

Nothing, in our opinion, is so liable
to seriously effect the present satisfac-
tory prices of Tobacco as the over
crowding Of the market.
Our advice to you is, bring each
wagon load to market Just as soon as
you get 1t ready. Don't delay until
you get your whole crop, or the most
of 1t stripped. To do so will be mis-
take.
A steady market is always better
than a glutted one. Don't get too
much here at once. AS our house Is
the largest, we are helped most by
rush; but, we know that what is not
good for you is not, in the long run,
good for us.
