WOMEN DIRECTED TO KEEP OUT
OF INAUGURATED PARADE

Washington, February pa contro-
versy over what part women shall
take in the Inauguration ceremony
came to headtonight with an an
nouncement by Mrs. James H. Boggs,
president of the WOmens Wilson In
ion and member of the inaugural
committee that because of a ruling
barring from the inaugural committee
that because of ruling barring from
the inaugural parade a section of
state floats being organized under her
direction she had declared "the with
drawal of all women from the parade"
Robert M. Harper, chairman of the
committee, replied to the announce
.ment with the statement that Mrs.
Boggs had no authority to declare
such a withdrawal. He said women
were wanted in the parade and that
the state floats had been barred only
because the plants for them were in
SO uncertain a stage that he feared
they could not be completed in time to
conform to the committees standards.
The decision to withdraw, Mrs. Boggs
declared, had the endorsement Of the
executive board of the Wilson Union,
including the wives of many Senator's
and Representatives and other public
officials and would receive the backing
also of millions of women throughout
the country.
Mr.. Harper declared there never had
been such an organization as wom-
ems division Of the inaugural commit
tee and intimated that he would take
no further notice of Mrs. Boggs' an
nouncement.
No one except Major General Scott,
who is grand marshal, and myself has
authority to say who shall and who
shall and who shall not take part in
the parade" Mr.. Harper said I'VE
want women to participate, provided
only they conform to the same require
ments that are laid down for the men,"
The women and Chairman Harper
agreed only on the point that the dis
pute was In no sense an outgrowth of
the controversy over representation OF
women suffraglsts in the parade. That
element, II was declared on both sides,
had not entered In any way into tho
situation.

EFFECTIVE DATE MAY BE PUT
OFF-BONE DRY MEASURE TO
BECOME LAW OCTOBER /,
If RESOLUTION Is
ADOPTED

Washington, February 22-Post-
ponement of the effective date of the
bone dry" prohibition amendment to
the Postoffice bill adopted yesterday,
until October /, 1917, is proposed in
concurrent resolution introduced late
today by Representative Moon, of Ten
nessee, chairman of the Postoffice
Committee. Mr.. Moon announced he
would press 1t through as soon as the
Postofiice bill itself is flnolly disposed
Of.
During debate on the amendment In
the House there were urgent appeals
on behalf of liquor dealers who ship
into dry territory that they be given
time to dispose of stock and readjust
their business. Prohibition leaders
turned deaf ears then, fearing that any
change in the provision as it passed
the Senate might mean its defeat, but
many of them are disposed to vote Tor
postponement once the bill has been
sent to the President for his signature
The preamble of Chairman Moons
resolution says:
"The states which have passed laws
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
Of liquors and the storing of the same
within their borders have recognized
the fact that such business had. there
fore, been legal and have, in view of
this, by their enactings, given to deal
| ers reasonable time within which to
dispose of their stocks or remove
the same from the state before the
becoming effective of such laws. The
course followed in this respect is
clearly right and just and it would be
manifest injustice and would work a
great hardship for the Federal Gov
eminent to deprive these parties of
the rights guaranteed by the states, by
immediate denial of interstate COM
merce for the shipment of such liq-
uors, which effect will. in its present
aspect automatically follow the enact
ment Of the prohibition amendment"
Differences between the House and
Senate on other features of the appro-
priation bill will be taken up In con-
ference tomorrow
The House Rules Committee agreed
today to consider tomorrow a special
rule to bring up in the House the SEN
ate bill for prohibition in the District
of Columbia. The committee will first
have hearing and then an executive
session to determine its action. 1t is
said to stand s to in favor of the
rule.
Representative Gallivan, of Massa-
chusetts, introduced today bill for a
prohibiting referendum to the people
of the district. 1t Is identical with the
Underwood act enacted by the Senate

1t Is understood the committee finds
that Thomas w. Lawson's sensational

leak, and that advance information
concerning the note was furnished to
brokers' by Fred ]. Essary and W. W.
Price, local newspaper men who con-
nected deductions with facts obtained
in conversation with other reporters
who had been told in confidence by
Secretary Lansing that note was
coming.
In connection with violations of
newspaper ethics, the report says a
subcommittee has been appointed to
confer with the standing committee
of correspondents to determine what
changes shall be made in the rules
regulating admission to the congress

No recommendation are made, but

.RINTELEN TRIAL
 SHOWS 3 CAMPS OF DEFENDANTS

New York, "A mass of tele- grams, by which the government plans to prove the spinning of the intuition traffic in this country was placed in evidence there today at the conspiracy trial of Capt Franz Rim telen of the German navy, David La mar, former Representative Frank Buchanan and H. Robert Fowler, and four others. /
 The telegrams were exchanged among the defendants and for the most part were addressed to an an other at the various hotels in Chica- go, Indianapolis, New York, Washing ton and Atlantic City. The text of the messages had to do mainly with hur- ried appointments or the workings Of Labor's National Peace council, which it is said, was financed by German money and sought to foment strikes in munition plants
 Most of the te1egrams bore the real names and addresses of the defend ants, but in some appeared the name "E. Rusky," which, it has been testi- fled, was an alias of Lamar.
 The proceedings during the seven days of the trial have established that the defendants clearly are divided in to three camps. Rinte1en and David Lamar each Is fighting alone, and there is a coalition of the lawyers for Buchanan, Monett, Fowler, Taylor, Martin and Schu1teis.

 ELIMINATED IN
 ESPIONAGE BILL
House By. Overwhelming Vote Strikes Out Much
 Protested Section

Washington, May 1.-The influence of President Wilson's approval of the newspaper censorship section of the espionage bill failed to save it in the house today, and it was stricken from the bill by a vote of, 22D to 167.s,
 The vote came after Administration leaders had fought hard for the sec ton under hot. fire of attack and Chairman Webb of the Judiciary com mittee had told the house he had just heard from President Wilson that the section was necessary to the defense and safety of the country. Post master General Bur1eson, who often visits the capital to round up support for administration measures, made a futile attempt to get enough votes for the censorship section. At the same time the senate was debating the bill, and President Wilson's ap- proval of the export embargo section was used there.
 Senator Overman fead letter from the president, dated April 14, endors- ing the section The letter was read after Senator Reed had challenged a statement by Senator Overman. that the president personally endorsed the embargo proposal
 "A few weeks ago. said Senator Overman after reading the letter, ''It became known that this country was sending food, clothing and many oth- CT things to Germany through some of the neutrals, and the president de- cided to ask legislation to stop it's
 Senator Overman said he was not at liberty to disclose all of the infor- nation in his possession regarding the receipt of American products in Germany. K g.:
