Suffragists Pick Officers
In 62 Assembly Districts
10000 Women Cast Largest Vote in History of Party
Here-Mss Mary Garrett Hay Heads City Ticket
NonPartisan Policy Adopted-ConventionF Friday

The largest vote in the history OF
the Woman Suffrage party Of New
York City approximately '10,0O0-was
cast yesterday for the officers of the
sixty-two Assembly districts. Those
who feared that winning the vote would
cause dsintegration of the suffrage or
ganization were amazed when it devel-
oped that more women were coming
into the party than ever before.
"The women are ashamed that they
haven't had a hand in winning the
vote, and now. they want to do what
they can to help with the burden Of
carrying on the educational work" said
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman Of
the Woman Suffrage party, at the head
quarters, 3 East Thirty-eighth Street.
The conventions were held in
churches, schools. vacant stores and
drawing rooms. At each gathering the
same routine was transacted, Assembly
district officers were elected and eight
delegates elected TO the borough con-
ventIons OF the party, which will be
held Friday. The slate for borough and
city officers of the party was voted
upon. and the captain OF the district
instructed to cast her vote accordingly
when she goes into the city elections
on Friday.
Non-Partisan Policy Adopted
The non-partisan policy. as laid down
by BOSS" Mary Garrett Hay. was read
and explained to the women. TINS
means that Miss Hay simply advises
the women not to join any party Just
yet. but to wait and attend the suf-
frage schools for voters, and TO read
and study before making choice OF
parties. Leaders of the suffrage party
are forbidden to join parties as repre-
sentatives of the organization.
This principle was accepted by the
sufragists, and the following resc'u-
tior adopted:
Resolved. That the Woman SUI
rage party Of the City Of New York
will keep its organization intact OF
borough, Assembly district and cleo
ton district lines. That such organi-
zation continue its partisan po-
litical lines. that no officers. leaders
or captains Of the Woman Suffrage
party shall ally themselves with
any political party for The present;

NEW OFFICERS FOR
SECOND REGIMENT
War Department Rules That Commits
stoned Officers Must be From Reg
ular Army or Enlisted Men

The war department refuses to ac-
cept the officers of the new North Da-
kota Second Regiment, who were COM
missioned by Governor Frazier, not
withstanding the fact that Governor
Frazier has telegraphed the war de-
partment protesting against the re-
fusal. His telegram follows:
It would be unfair to the state
to accept men without the officers
commissioned by me. Request that
mastering officers be instructed to
muster the following officers:
Colonel White, Lieutenant Col
Tharalson, Major Mudgett, Major
Gearey, Captain Murphy, Captain
Rock. Lieutenants Dwyre, Orch
ard. Neumeier and Mcdonald, and
sanitary officers as follows: Major
Wheelon, Lieutenants Graham and
Duncan.
People of my state very anxious
that the boys be sent to front un-
der their own officers
Senator p. J. McCumber in mes
sage to the adjutant general, stated
that the selection of the field and staff
officers of the Second Regiment would
be left to the president, who would
be guided in his choice largely by the
recommendation of the governor.
At the present time all of the Off
GERS commissioned by the governor are
out, and the only way they can be rein
stated is through appointment by the
president.
The war department has ruled that
officers at the time Of taking command
of company or an army, should have
either been a member Of the regular
army, or on the reserve list of the reg
uJar army or were enlisted men at the
time of receiving such commissions.
Unless one could qualify in one of
these three ways his previous expert
ence or present ability can do little for
him.
This will effect change in officers
of Minot's new company, A. The fol-
lowing list of Co. A who on account of
this new ruling are out of command:
Capt. M. C. Lawson; First Lieut.. VIM
O'Leary; Second Lieut.. Joe Blalsdell
1t is explained that had these three
soldiers first enlisted and then been
elected from the ranks to their respect
i've Offices, they would have held their
places under the new ruling. All that
they can do unless the war depart
ment changes it's orders, is to enlist in
some company and then take chances
of being promoted.
Capt. F. Otto Gross of Co. D mus
tered Co. A into the regular army ser
vice Tuesday. Captain Gross received
telegram from the state mastering
officer, Settle, last night, ordering him
to place First Lieut.. Hayes of Co. L

rartment had selected the various Of

He was in charge of the construc-

erected last winter by McEown Bros.
& Foley, who conduct the Automart.
Whitney paid the laborers off every
Saturday night and he is charged with
paying out approximately 1852 more
than he should. 1t appears that the
foreman kept double set of time
tickets and these will figure in the
case prominently.

An Error Corrected.

The Independent made an error last
week in reporting the suit brot against
Vitus Carlson for the recovery of
farm north of the city. Jos. Carlson,
as reported, was not a party to the
transaction. Vitus bought the land
from his brother in 1906 and had two
letters from him showing that the
transaction had been made. AS soon
as the letters were shown, August's
own attorney advised him to accept
settlement accordingly.

EARLE WILLIAMS
AS "ARSENE LUPIN"
Virile Hero Well Cast in Detective
Story-At Arcade Wednesday and
Thursday.

The title role of "Arsene Lupin,"
the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature
which was directed by Paul Scardon
and which is the headliner at the Ar
cade Theatre on Wednesday and
Thursday, offers Earle Williams a role
much to his liking.
Perhaps never before in his success
full stage and screen career has Mr..
Williams created part that was more
natural-more living and true to life.
He has made the notorious gentle
man crook characterization that will
live always in the minds of his audi
ence.
Just enough daring has been sprin-
killed. into the polish and veneer Of his
society manner to suggest his true
character. Then too, the ego with
which all masters are credited, is most
cleverly portrayed. His intense desire
to expose himself just so that he may
again escape capture through some
daring scheme is always evident but
never firing.
In the role of "Arsene Lupin," Mr.
Williams proves that he is worthy of
the praise which has always been ac-
corded him in the photoplay world.
