Mrs. b b. Valentine, presi,
dent of the Equal Suffrage

ing statement:
"rhc National American
Woman Suffrage Association,
of which the Virginia League
is an affiliated mcmbcr. and
which comprises the great body
of organized suifragists in the

White House, and has in its
official organ, "'rhc Woman

rrs, DR. Anna Shaw, aud Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, publicly
condemned the recent banner
episodes, as unpairiotic ana
gravcly injurious TO tho cause
OF woman suffrage.
"Fhc Equal Suffrage League
concurs in This verdict, and
deeply regrets thai any group
oi mon or women should at this
time attempt to cmbarrass the
government. At the same time
we wish to call attention to the
(, fact that this isolated groupe of
suifragists, calling themselves
the National Woman's party, in
no wise represents the great
body OF suitragiSts, and we ask
that men and women deal fair.

train from condemning the suf.

FIRE AROUSES GUESTS
AT BUCKINGHAM HOTEL
Routed From Beds at 3 As O'Clock
This Morning, But Damage to
Building Is Slight. .

Forty guests of the Buckingham
Hotel. 91s-20 18th street, this morning
about 3:45 o'clock found 1t necessary
to leave their rooms because of the
immense quantities of smoke that
poured through the building. Suffoca-
ton of a pet canary bird in a brass
cage in the office was the only casualty
reported. 1t is believed the damage
amounted to less than $1,000.
1t is thought the fire originated in
a locker in the servants quarters in
the basement, and a nearby light and
airshaft. in which there was a chain
fire escape. carried the fire to the top
of the structure in a remarkably short
time. The appearance of the light
above the building made it appear that
the structure was doomed.
Occupants of several rooms with
windows opening along the light shaft
giving holiday and were spared much
trouble and excitement. Those in
other parts of the building donned
what little clothing they could and
assembled in one of the larger rooms
in the building to the south. some clad
in sleeping garments and. others. partly
dressed in street clothes.
Because of the quantity of water in
the kitchen it was not possible to serve
breakfast in the hotel today. but
prompt repair work put that portion
Of the building in shape before noon.
and 1t was said dinner would be served
this evening as usual. The property
is owned by A. l. Bliss and the damage
is covered by insurance.

WATER SUPPLY SITUATION
IN EVANSVILLE SERIOUS
Higher Levels Of the Town Suffer
Most-Citizsns to Decide on
Steps to Be Taken.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Md. December l.
The water supply situation here Is ad-
mitted by Mayor William A. Brooks to-
day to be serious
The higher levels Of the town are en-
tirely without water, and the wells
from which the supply is obtainable for
these points apparently are dry. The
lower sections Of the city are supplied
from an auxiliary plant in Ravenwood
avenue. which probably would furnish
sufficient protection in case of fire.
Mayor Brooks is in communication
with hydraulic engineers and well dig
gers, and as soon as he learns the ex-
act conditions he states, a mass meet
ing of the citizens will be called and
the facts placed before them.
Through the efforts Of Senator John
Walter Smith, Congress has authorized
the extension of the Washington city
water mains to the suburbs Of the Dis
trict, including Hyattsville. Before
this law can become effective. however.
action by the Maryland legislature is
necessary. and this cannot be had until
after January 1, when that body meets
at Annapolis.

All sections Of Washington are being
canvassed by the solicitors in the
Knights of Columbus war camp fund
campaign to raise $4,000. To date
about half of this amount has been
subscribed.
The slowness of the campaign is at
tributed to the fact that small contri-
buttons are being solicited and made.
Those in charge of the campaign feel
that the men in the downtown section
of the city should not bear all of the
burden, and have made the campaign
city-wide, SO as to reach every section.
1t is said that the campaigners are not
experiencing any trouble in obtaining
subscriptions. people being glad to con-
tribute to the cause for which the
money is being raised.
