"'TE,SON SWINGS
: HOUSE IN LINE
FOR SUFFRAGE
Tells Delegation of Leaders
He Favors Anthony
Amendment

Washington, Jan. 10.-President
Wilson late yesterday told a delega-
tion of House leaders that he favor
ed enactment of the Susan B. An
thony federal suffrage amendment
and would make clear his position in
a statement.
After a forty-minute conference
with the President the Congressman
issued this statement:
The committee found that the
President had not felt at liberty to
volunteer his advice to members of
congress in this important matter,
but when we sought his advice he
very frankly and earnestly advised
us to vote on the amendment as an
act of right and Justice to the women
OF the country and of the world"
The House votes tomorrow on
the suffrage amendment resolution,
and suffrage advocates, already con-
ftdent, declared the attitude of the
President made passage of the reso-
luton by the necessary two-thirds
vote certain. Heretofore the Presi-
dent has insisted that suffrage was a
question for the individual states to
determine.
Woman suffrage forces won an
other preliminary victory in the
House when the Rules Committee
decided that the new suffrage COM
mittee and not the judiciary Com
mittee should have charge of
the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment resolution when it comes
UP for vote. The amendment as re-
ported by the Suffrage Committee
makes no limitation on the time in
which the states must act on the res
olution.
Speaker Clark announced he would
not vote from the chair unless there
was a tie. in which case he would
vote for the amendment. He said
he expected the vote to come between
and o'clock. The Speaker re-
served his bench in the gallery for
officers of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association. These
guests included DIR. Anna Howard
Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, Mrs.
Helen ii. Gardiner, Mrs. Maud Wood
Park and Miss Rose Young
Scattered through the crowded gall
leries were suffragists of both fac
tions from all parts of the country
and many members of the antisuf-
frage ranks. Leaders of the Woman's 8
party, were there in force, hailing the
occasion as victory for the White
House pickets.
The session of the House was
opened with prayer by William Sun
day, the evangelist, who invoked di-
vine mercy upon the President, the
cabinet, the allies and American SOL
diers.

amazed and delighted with the city

Enthusiastically that he was more ia

Place Ashes on Slippery
Pavements, Burgess Says

Burgess T. T. McEntee. through
Chief of Police Grove requested
Steelton residents to place fine ash
es on all pavements where it is i'm
possible to remove the ice to protect
pedestrians from falling.
The hills of Steelton are very hard
to climb when the pavements are
not covered with ice and with a
smooth coat of ice on them it is i'm
possible to reach your destination in
some sections of the town.
Many residents have taken the
responsibility on themselves to place
ashes on their pavements without
the request of the police chief. Nu-
merous requests have been sent to
the chief of police by residents to
allow them to place ashes on the
ice until it can be removed.
