Speaking at suffrage headquarters
Yesterday afternoon. Mrs. William Gem
nell demonstrated the need OF the

of the teacher. Mrs. Gemmell wished

the vote to exercise that citizenship
for which they have for generations
trained the youth OF the country.

of business women in RiChinond today
with the small scattered groups or
eighteen years ago. stressed the fact
that as women became more efficient
in business. they felt the greater need
for the privilege of citizenship, and
they looked forward TO the time when
the women who are free TO work for
suffrage should win this right for
them.
Mrs. w s. Mcneil was chairman of

HAMMOND PLEADS
GUILTY AFORCER

NE WORK, Aug. 1s.-Donald
Hammond. twenty four, son OF Dean
Hammond of Cornell University and
a wounded veteran of the British
Royal Flying Corps, pleaded guilty
yesterday before Judge Wadhams In

Tombs for sentence next Friday.
Hammond forged an Endorsement
to a check Of Norman Bradford Jrs
member Of the Harvard Club, on
which he collected $4,000. Hammond,
also a member Of that club, found
the letter containing the check AZ
the club on June 3. He obtained an
other Endorsement from q cashier az
Delmonico's and cashed the check AT
the Hartman National Bank.

rate, won't cross that bridge now.
Reservations are still regarded by
the President as likely to be embar-
RAISING, Hitchcock said. Their adop-
ton would indicate, in the Presidents
view, that the United States had little
faith in the treaty.
Hitchcock in his speech next week
in the Senate will point out. he said
as the President did in their talk yes
terday, that amendments would mean
that the United States would lose the
benefits conferred by the treaty. He
cited access to German dyestuffs as ar
example.
Amendment. in the Presidents
view" said Hitchcock, would near
that the United States would have to
go back to Germany, hat in hand
begging for acceptance OF conditions
OF peace.
"The President said that II the Sen
ate made ii necessary to negotiate q
separate peace with Germany, he
would send Senators Knox and Lodge
to Berlin to make the new treaty"
Lodge today said that IL It becomes
apparent that a majority of the Sen
ate is willing to accept "nilk-and-

rejection of the treaty rather than
accept such a program.

KISSING COLLECTOR
GIVEN FINE OF ST

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 16.-Taken
to the Southwestern police station
for hugging and kissing Mrs. Lauretta
Anderson. twenty-one years old. at
whose home he had called to collect
an insurance premium, Lawrence
Pietsch, twenty-eight years old, an in
surance collector, when arraigned
before Justice TormOllan, said Mrs.
Anderson not only did not object to
his fervent loYemaking, but respond
ed with kisses and hugs of her own.
According to Mrs. Anderson, how
ever, Pietsch grabbed her in his arms
against her wishes and she called for
help. Pietsch was fined 81 and costs
by the magistrate, who said he was
inclined to believe Mrs. Anderson's
story.
That insurance collectors have to be
strong men to withstand the lure of
many women upon whom they make
business calls was the statement of
Paul F. Diehl, an agent of the COM
pany for which Pietsch works, and
who was a witness in the case also.
Our collectors often meet with
such temptations" he said, land we
warn them to be careful"

FOE WOMEN ASK
PRISONERS BACK

BERLIN, Aug. ia women's
demonstration for The speedy return
of German prisoners Of war held in
Philharmonic Hall ended when the
women were dispersed by the police
after they had marched to the chan
cellory, where they gave the soldiers
a tongue-lashing.
The meeting in Philharmonic Hall
was noisy. Women screamed, some
tore at their hairsand others tainted.
Some of the speakers on the program
gave up their efforts to talk to the
audience. DR.. Doering, former court
pastor, finally re-established order
Sister Monika, nurse for many
years, defended the governments ef-
forts to have the German prisoners
released, but her voice was drowned
out by those OF the audience who be-
gan weeping and shouting that the
only solution of the question was the
displacement of the government.
Some of the more excited women
proposed the organization of a cru
SADIE to cross the frontier and bring
the prisoners home by force, and
similar schemes. One woman caused
intense excitement by reading an al
legged account Of the prisoners ter
rible sufferings.
During a quieter period of the meet
ing it was voted to address wireless
messages regarding the release of
prisoners to Japan and the United
States.

SPEED cops TESTIMONY
FAILS FIRST TIME IN COURT

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-For the frst
time since the traffic court opened,
three years ago, the testimony of a
motorcycle policeman failed yesterday
to convict an. autoist of speeding.
Magistrate w. Bruce Cobb acquitted
John Olsen, eighteen, chauffeur.
Olsen was charged by Policeman Vim
cent J. McCauley with driving truck
at twenty-six miles an hour in Sew
enth avenue on Thursday.
McCauley said he was standing be
side his motorcycle at 145th street
when he saw the truck pass; that he
Jumped on his machine, and that he
timed Olsen, beginning with the next
block. Other motorcycle cops testi-
fed that with McCauley's motor
cycle it would have been impossible
to catch a speeder in such a short
distance, and the magistrate dis
missed the case without hearing the
defense
