DANGER TOLD IN CABLE
Ambassador Francis Wires State De-
partment Of Threat Made by
Russian Anarchists.

Ambassador Francis, at Petrograd,
has cabled the State Department that
q group of Russian anarchists had no.
titled him he would be held personally
responsible for the safety of Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman, under
prison sentence in the United States for
violating the draft law.
No indication as to the probable
power OF the threatening anarchists to
make trouoble for him was given by
the ambassador. State Department Off
cials think he did not take the matter
very seriously, and, apparently, little
alarm Is felt here.
Secretary Lansing has instructed Am
bassador Francis. at Petrograd, to report
to the State Department any develop
ments in connection. with the threats
the ambassador to follow any course he
may consider advisable. The department
has assumed that he has reported the in
cident to the Bolshevik element and may
have asked for protection.
Ohicials OF the department were not
inclined today to regard the ambassa-
doris situation as serious. believing it
probable that the government authorities
would take such measures as necessary to
protect him.
It has been known for some time
that anarchists in Petrograd were m
teresting themselves in the fate of
Berkman and Miss Goldman. who are
about to begin two-year terms In fed
erAl penitentiary.. An anarchist organ
published at Petrograd recently car
fied an infaanmatory article urging that

DELAY IN SENATE ON VOTE
FOR SUFFRAGE UNLIKELY
National Association Announces
Rumors of Indefinite Postponement
, Are Without Foundation.

Rumors to the effect that the vote on
the suffrage amendment in the Senate
has been indefinitely postponed are en-
tirely unfounded, declares the National
American Woman Suffrage Association,
in a statement issued today quoting
Senator Jones of New Mexico. chair

wish to postpone the vote, the state
ment asserts. -....
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the association, states that her or
ganiZation is anxious to have the
amendment put through the Senate and
sent on its way to the states in time
to secure ratification by those legisla-
lures that are in session this winter.

today, has adopted similar resol luton,
asking the North Dakota senators also

]. 1.-THE outlook for passage. of the
amendment lis most favorable" says
Mrs. Gait. Recent gains have. given
us more solid states in the Senate than
we had in the House, and at least one
of these states is. below Mason and
Dixon's line. These are some of the
things we know about the>Senate which
justify the faith we have had from the
beginning of the present session of
Congress that the United States would
not allow Great Britain. Canada, Rus
sia, France and Italy, where women
have either been given or been prom
ised the vote, to leave our republic be-
hind in the progress of democracy. And
they show that our soldiers, who voted
two to one for woman suffrage in the
New York election, will not return to
find their own country falling to carry
out the principle for which they were
sent to fight in foreign land"

country to the eastern roads to help ex-
pedite the movement. Enough railroad
piers here will be taken over in the next
twenty-four hours to provide for the load
ing of twenty-five ships at one time, ac-
cording to the present plans.
On account of unprecedented ice con-
ditions in the harbor and delays caused

Thousand Children TO Sing of Craze
OF Santa Claus s Best Loued Poet

His name was Clement c. Moore. His
body sleeps beneath the Christmas trees
that grow in Trinity Cemetery, whose
sloping lawns run from Broadway to
the Drive, between 153d and 155th
streets But his words live on. By
grace of the verse he wrote he is i'm
mortal in the hearts of millions of
children and of those who once were
kids at Christmas time.
On the night before Christmas a
thousand children Of the Chapel of the
Intercession, to whom Moore has sung
in his "Visit from St. Nchoas,' will
sing carols in the dusk beside the place
where he is buried, and will lay upon
his grave a wreath as symbol of their
love.
All who remember the poem begin
ming:
