Suffrage Association, which received
the news OF the Republican indorse-
ment of the Susan 3. Anthony amend
ment by wire from its. representative
at the meeting OF the Republican
National Committee in st. Louis. Mrs.
Rosalis Loew Whitney, OF Brooklyn.
is preparing for an early vote in
the Senate with fullest confidence in
favorable result. Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president OF the Ma
tional Suffrage Association. says:
THE action OF the Democratic and
Republican National Committee in
favor OF the Susan b. Anthony
amendment for woman suffrage puts
a new plank in both party platforms
for the conscientious adherent to
party platforms to stand on. and
leaves obstructionists with nothing
under their feet. Now that the lead
ers Of both parties have issued the
call the Senate will certainly pass
the amendment by a large majority
and do IL soon. Though British
lords have already given women the
vote they may not after all get any
great lead over the every day Ameri-
can citizen in establishing a true
democracy"

Talking About TraiIers.
A member Of the Utilities Commits
sion is giving thought to the sub
ject Of requiring traflers to be put
on the city lines to aid In caring
for the congestion. His idea, which
he Is merely turning over. Is that
because of the scarcity OF males wo-
men conductors might be used on the
trailers-
Experts. discussing this matter to-
day. pointed out that trailers gen
orally can not be used unless the
motive power and connections on the
cars are extensively overhauled.
Most OF the cars now in use here
are of the double-truci1 variety. IL,
was stated. and their motors are not
strong enough to pull trsiIers- New
and stronger motors would have to
be put in. new brakes installed and
electrical connections made to Mt in
with trailers.
Both railway companies have
number OF stngle-truek cars equip
ped with motors for hauling trailers
and these are used during the summer
season.
The trailer, unless ftted up on the
pay-as-you:enter basis, is dangerous,
it Is claimed, as passengers take
chances of jumping on after the
motorman on the front car accepts
the bell OF the motorman on that car
and starts. Without enclosures to
keep passengers on the trailer acct
dents are likely to be numerous.
Plan Temporary Relief.
Along practical lines. the only
measures for temporary relief OF
conditions in Washington, as will be
reported to the Senate under the
Jones resolution, are the adoption OF
the Beeler recommendations for shor-
tening the number of stops through
out the city: arranging for the quick
er loading and unloading OF passen-
gers: erection Of platforms at crowd
ed points to. save every second OF
time in taking on passengers: speed
ing up by car crews; a staggered"
system of opening Government de-
partments. and possibly stores. so as
10 divide the morning and afternoon
congestion over a greater space OF
time; q policy OF filming the street car
lines heavily for failing to carry out
the orders OF the commission. and
such additional measures as are to
be recommended by Beeler, inelud-
Ding the shutting out OF heavy inter
urban cars.
