NORFOLK BOAT BLOCKED
BY Huge JAMS OF ice
Southland Arrives 2N Hours Late.
With Passengers Almost Frozen.

Never in all OF my life have felt the
cold as I did last night" said Judge
James U. Goode. of the Civil Court OF
Norfolk, Va. son of that grand "Old Man
OF Virginia" the late Judge John Goode
chairman of the constitutional conventiOl I
OF Virginia, 1902, yesterday, on his arrival
here on the Norfolk and Washington
steamer Southland.
The remarks were addressed to Meyer
Koleer, a Norfolk attorney. who was a
shipmate of the judge on what was term
ed by passengers on the steamer the
worst voyage OF their experience.
Never in my lfe," said the Judge
have 1 been as cold or spent such
restless night as aboard this steamer
retired some time before midnight and
left the window to my staterOom partly
open. Some time along about 2 o'clock
| woke to the fact that was fast being
covered with snow. I closed the window,
but the atmosphere was still that of the
north pole.
About 8 o'clock when or Indian Head
was again awakened, this time by the
most peculiar noises I ever heard. Look
ing ou. of the window I saw the ship
was crowded with ice and was backing
out of a regular Peary jam. Backward
and forward she rocked as attempt after
attempt was made to force a passage
through the clogged ice flow.
Finally after about an hour we sue
ceeded in getting through. but our
troubles were not ended, for the game of
buck the fee was carried on for the re-
mainder of the trip. We arrived in Wash
ington about two hours and fifteen min
utes behind schedule

DETECTIVES KEEP EYES
ON CAPITOL VISITORS
May Close Building to All Save Those
Having Admittance Cards.

Elliott Woods, superintendent of the
Capitol Building and grounds, stripped
number of his regular police force OF
gold braid and brass buttons, placed them
in civilian uniforms and stationed them
and Capitol subways and In the under
ground terraces of the Capitol yester-
day, with instructions to watch for sus-
picious characters.
The hastily organized crew of Hawk
shaws" watched the crowds that paraded
through the underground paths from the
Senate and House Office Buildings to the
Capitol proper with sharp eyes, but dis
covered no bomb plots and were not
forced to stop any of the hurrying pc
destrians to the parlors of legislation.
Anticipating that the situation in inter-
national affairs might soon become more
intense. Col. Higgins, >sergeant-at-arms
of the Senate, recommended to the Senate
Rules Committee that 100 additional plain
clothes men be added to the force protect
ing the Capitol He also urged closing
the Capitol to all visitors except those
only for one day. The recommendation is
under consideration.
Should 1t become necessary for the
President to visit the Capitol again and
ask for authorization to use the armed
forces of the nation, then the Capitol will
be strongly guarded. soldiers and plain
clothes men from the District will sup
plement the regular Capitol police force,
and only those having actual business
viii be admitted.

SUFFS THEMSELVES
RIDICULE PICKETS

Pity the poor sur sentinels.

Pity the poor sun sentinels.
Day after day they have stood in
front Of the White House, and endured
all sorts of rtdicule and taunts from pas
Hers-by, not to mention cold smiles from
The President, as he rolled by in his nice
warm limousine.
That was hard.
Then came the blizzard Sunday night,
and the bitter cold of yesterday.
That was still harder.
And now comes the bitterest pill Of all.
They have been informed that they are
"all wrong by their own'colleagues, the
National Woman'5 Suffrage Association.
The criticism OF the picketing came
from Mrs. George Mosehart, chairman of
the local press committee Of the organ
ization. last night.
This Is not the ttrne to be wasting
precious minutes lining up pointlessly as
pickets ir front Of the White House." she
said. Every woman in the country,
whether she believes in suffrage or not,
should do all in her power to help the
President
1T seems to me that in the discussion
Of suffrage, a comparison should be made,
and a difference drawn, between the
100000 members OF our association who
are planning to help the President, and
the few who are wasting their time try
ing to binder him by carrying little ban
ners and standing IN front Of the White
House"

WILL ASCERTAIN
POWER OF WOMEN
Patriotic Registration Week
for Oklahoma to Start De-
cember 10.

Patriotic Registration week for Ok
lahoma women will begin next Mon
day. December 10.
This registration is being carried
out all over the United States and In
some states has already been COM
pleted. Its object is to furnish ac-
curate information to the government
of the capacities In which women are
now serving. whether In their own
homes or In paid pursuits, trades or
professions.
1t is necessary to have In every
community carefully classified lists OF
women who are willing to be called
upor for trained or unframed service
to the state or to the nation: to as
certain which women are available
for service outside the home and
which are not: and to list the women
who wish to take training in order to
give more efficient service.
WOman's Possibilities.
Such registration will enable every
woman to offer her country such SER
vice as she Is best fitted to render. II
Will inform the government of the
possibilities of woman power and en-
able il to place women who volunteer
their services.
The most urgent need for the SER
vice of women at the present time Is
in the profession of nursing and office
positions. Young women. especially
college graduates, who wish to offer
theii services In the most effective
way, should enter at once a training
school for nurses, which-will prepare
them in the best way for real services
abroad or at home. Young women
are earnestly recommended to take an
adequate course in stenography, type
writing and secretarial work in order
to fiji a demand for office workers
which Is much greater than the sup
ply.
All women should register. whether
trained or unframed, whether able to
leave the home or obliged to stay In
IT. whether willing to take training or
not.
Dividca into Precincts.
The city of Tulsa will be divided
irto registration precincts the same as
the school precincts. Registration
booths will be placed in a school
in each district. A registrar and help-
ers will be in charge of each booth,
beginning at 10 a. m. Monday, De-
cember 10, during the week following
All patriotic women should come vol
UNFAIRLY to the booths and give the
required information to the registrar
who will make out card properly for
each woman.
Mrs. Charles IAhman, vice chair
man OF the woman's commission of
the Oklahoma Council of Defense. has
issued the following appeal for the OBJ
servance of registration week:
women of Tulsa. the United States
government asks this Of you. DO not
waste the time and strength of the
registrars. who receive no pay for
their hard work, but come promptly
and Willingly to register. II you do
not understand fully, go Just the same.
The registrars will explain everything
to you. The main thing is that your
country asks this information. this
registration. from you. As you are
patriotic or not you will obey"
