 Letter of Resignation.
 Dear MT. President: Last autumn, as the representative of your admin istration, went into the woman suf- frage states to urge your reelection. The most difficult argument to meet CTS was the failure of the democratic party, throughout four years of pow CT, to pass the federal suffrage amendment looking toward the en- country. Throughout those states, and particularly in California, which ultfmafely decided the election by the votes sbf women. the women voters though Judge Hughes had already declared for the federal suffrage amendment, because you and your party. through liberal leadership, were
 more likely nationally to enfranchise the rest of the women of the coun- try than were your opponents. And if the women of the west voted to re- elect you. promised them I would spend all my energy; at any sacrifice ocratic administration to present the federal suffrage amendment. But the present policy of the administration, in permitting splendid American wo-' men to be sent to jail in Washington, for picketing, but on the technical charge of obstructing traffic, is a de- nia1 even of their constitutional right to petition for, and demand the pass
 5~A ment. It now, therefore, becomes my profound obligation actively to keep my promise to. the women of the west.
 'In more than twenty states it is state constitutions; 50 that the wo- men Of those states can only be en- franchised by the passage of the fed eraI suffrage amendment. Since Eng land and Russia in the midst of the great war have assured the national enfranch1sement of their women, should we not be jealous to maintain our democratic leadership in the world by the speedy national enfranchise- ment of American women? To me, MT. Washington two months ago, this is not only, a measure of justice and democracy, it is also an urgent war measure. The women of the nation country, and the passage of the suf- frage amendment is only the first step towards their national emancipation. But unless the government takes at least this first step towards their en- how can the govern ment ask millions of American wo- mon, educated in our schools and col leges, and millions of American wo- men in our homes. or toiling for eco homie independence in every linesof industry, to give up by consctiptionj j their men and happiness to a war for democracy in Europe. while these wo.

SENATE DEFEATS ATTEMPTS
 AT HIGHER WAR TAXATION
Senator Hardwick of Georgia Wac
 Subjected to Vigorous Criticism.

Washington, Sept. 7.-In the midst of another bitter outburst over Amer ican unity in prosecuting the war, the
 senate late today tentatively disposed of the income tax provisions of the war tax bill and again defeated all attempts at higher taxation.
 Interest in virtual adoption of the income tax section, designed to raise
 $s42. .OO0.o more revenue from indi- vtdual and corporate incomes, was overshadowed by a stormy three hours scene in which Senator Hardwick of Georgia was subjected to vigorous can) and Senators Chamberlain and Williams (democrats). The incident hardly has been eQualled in the senate since passage of the army draft law. An amendment by Senator Hardwick to increase taxes on large incomes in order to pay a $50 monthly bonus to all Americans serving in France stirred up the senare's temper. It was promptly port only of Senators Gronna, Hard wick, La Toilette, Reed and Vardaman all of the group which opposed the draft act.
 amendment yesterday for Senator Hardwick, who was absent When the Georgia senator today urged its adoption as a conscription of wealth to pay soldiers conscripted he was as sailed by Senator Nelson. a Civil war veteran. who denounced the amend Inent as "humiliating and be1ittling" to the American soldier.
 Our boys are not as cheap as some statesmen" the Minnesota statesman shouted.
 Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military committee, with evident feeling, chided Senator Hardwick's opposition to the draft law and de- clared the amendment tended to de- moralize the army and toward further resistance of the law.
 In reply, Senator Hardwlck claimed the right of free speech, defended bis course i1- opposition to the admins tration and attacked what he called the .'hamboyant patriotism of his critics.
 Senator Williams criticized the Georgia senator's past ana present attitude toward the draft law and sr3di- cu1ed his speech. 'sssssi-
 s.I take it that veryfcw senatnrs. probably not over five,''l said Seuztprs Williams, will not aNree that we have seldom witnessed a finer Case of self imitation and puffed-up self acting than that which has just been shown upon this arena s

Wide Scope of # l. W. ". Activities
IS BEING DISCLOSED BY DocU.
 MENTS SEIZED
TO BALK U. s. WAR PL. ANS
Numerous Indictments Are in Pros. peet as . Result of Wednesdays Ma tion-Wid Raid of I. w. w. Rooms is Alleged.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Numerous in- dtctments for conspiracy to thwart the governments war plans and tie it's hands in many ways appear to be in prospect as a result of Wednesday, s nationwide raid of Inrustrial Workers of the World offices by department of justice agents.
 Evidence is said to be fast accumu- lating to support the belief that gi- gantic conspiracy has existed for some time past to cripple the government in carrying on the war, that it's ramifica- lions have extended into virtually ev- cry state and that numerous anti-war activities which appeared to emanate from many sources in reality had their fountain head in a single group of
Norwich bulletin., 1917-09-08

or war industries by so-calIed labor disturbances and by violence, burning of crops and continuous preachment of antf-a11y sentiment, with other activi- ties which tended to embarrass the government and retard the exercise of it's full strength in prosecuting the war, appear from recent disclosures to have been included within the scope of the alleged conspiracy.
 Into the formation ard the workings Of this alleged conspiracy, the depart ment of justice has begun an inquiry more comprehensive, it is said, than
 any launched since this country's en- try into the war.
 , Investigating Documents How closely the anti-war activities and propaganda have been inter-relat- ed is to be determined largely by the federal grand jury now sitting at Chi
 cago, Investigating documents seized
 by government agents in their raids
 Wednesday of l. w. w. and socialist offices of that city and throughout the country. Indications are that the al- leged conspiracy had it's origin in Chicago and for some time was ac- lively directed from that city.
 Indications of German Money There are also indications that Ger man money financed, in part, this pro- paganda, that German funds were spent freely in many ways to further tiiC CA1OS OA laS ana that of the many persons believed to be actively identified in carrying on the work, few knew of this source of f- nancia1 support.
 The grand jury inquiry will not be confined, from present indications, to Chicago. United States attorneys who have not accumulated documentary ev- fdence which apparently supports the theory of great conspiracy are said to be few in number. It is probable that much of this evidence will be presented to other grand juries, once the extensive plans and workings of the chief alleged conspirators are de- termined in Chicago.
 Vast Accumulation of Documents
 So vast Is the accumulation of let- ters, checks and papers of all descrip- tions seized by the government agents that the great bulk still lies unsifted, and the exact determination of their contents and significance will not be reached for. several days.
 Many of these documents are said to relate to labor disturbances in the west and the Pacific northwest which recently resulted in determination by the governments to use all forces at it's command, if necessary, even to the extent of dispatching troops to the scene of trouble, to prevent the tieup of war industries Of their serious cur tailment.
