GARFIELD MILLS
NOT ALIEN OWNED
Worsted Concern Will Con-
tinue Under Old Manage
ment.

A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property
Custodian. announced yesterday that a
full examination OF the stock OF the
Garfield Worsted Mills, at Garfield. n.
j.. showed that there is no German
interest controlling the concern. There
will be no change in the management OF
the mills. On March 80 1t was an
nounced from the local division OF the
alien property bureau that the concern
was run by German interests and would
be taken over. Mr.. Palmers statement
follows:
After a full examination OF the af-
fairs Of the Garfield Worsted Mills it
seems clear that there is no connection
whatever between the American owners
OF the stock Of this company and any
German interest. Certain residents OF
Germany own a minority interest in the
stock OF the company. amounting to A
per cent. but have no part in its man.
agement
The control and management Of the
company are entirely In the hands of
American citizens, concerning whose
loyalty no question exists. The mlsap-
prehersions which developed before the
investigation OF the affairs of the COM
pany was complete have been entirely
cleared up, and the management OF the
company has consented to elect to the
board four directors nominated by the
Alien Property Custodian to represent
the minority interest formerly owned by
German subjects and now standing In
tie name of the Alien Property Custo-
dian.
There will. OF course. be no change In
the executive management OF the prop

SUFFRAGISTS HERE
FOR LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Establish Headquarters at No. 5 School
Street-Two Bills Aimed To
Give Women Vote

Woman suffragists are here Tor
legislative action. Two contingents
of suffragists, representing the Wo-
man Suffrage League Of Maryland and
their more militant sister organiza-
ton, the Just Government League Of
Maryland, descended upon the city
yesterday and were present at the
opening of the State Legislature. The
appearance Of the women at this open
ing session was formal one and was
made for the purpose. as one sufra-
gist expressed it, of showing the leg
islators that they were still in the
ring"
Both camps of Maryland suffragists
are going to put up stiff fight dur
ing the present session for Presiden-
tial suffrage. Both organizations have
drawn up separate bills asking for the
right to vote for the President of the
country And both organizations
seem optimistic of the outcome of their
appeal.
WIN Be Constantly On Job.
In order to be constantly on the
spot the Woman Suffrage League Of
Maryland Of which Mrs. j. Ross
Thompson is president, has opened
legislative headquarters at 8 School
street. Mrs. Robert Moss, wife Of
Judge Moss. chairman Of the legisla-
tive committee of the League, and
resident of this city. viii be in charge
of the Office, which will be open
throughout the entire session, or at
least until the bill pushed by the
League is passed
The two bills drawn up by the two
suffrage organizations are not very
different except in wording Each
will be presented separately and by
different members of the Legislature.
Just who these legislators will be has
not yet been definitely determined.
The Woman Suffrage League. OF
Maryland is also considering the pres
entation of another bill asking for
certain municipal franchise rights,
but the definite provisions of this bill
have not yet been determined. All
the women consider that New York's
recent suffrage victory and the state
ments Of President Wilson to the ef-
feet that the Acknowledgement of
women should be considered war

fecting the successful passage Of the
Maryland bills
