League Sends Out Warming
The Tennessee Constitutional League
announced to-day that the Injunction
would prevent the enfranchisemen of
the women of the nation for at least q
year and q half The league has been
fighting ratification in Tennessee on
the ground that the state constitution
prohibits the present Legislature from
taking valid action. The league sent
the following message to the Governors
OF Vermont, Connecticut, Florida, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Delaware and South
Carolina:
Tennessee has not ratified the suf-
frage amendment. The resolution has
not legally passed the House The mo-
ton to reconsider was defeated by less
than the legal quorum. The Governor
and other state officials have been
cnJoined against attempting to~certify
It's ratification. No women will vote
for year and a half at least on ac-
count Of Tennessee's action. as the in.
junction viii be carried to the highest
court. Any state official who attempts
to certify will be attacked for contempt
OF court, and Secretary Colby has al
ready been warned that action in viola
ton OF the injunction is invalid under
our laws.
"'secretary Colby will also be en-
joined by an amended bill filed by
Sharles 5. Fairchild and the American
ConS,ututlon League at Washington.
There is no reason for anv stamnedo
IN other states on account of Tennes-
sees alleged action, and press reports
assuming the ratification as completed
are entirely misleading. Therefore, we
earnestly ask you to make careful ex-
animation Of ratification status before
dong anything that might have ten
dency to compllcatc the coming Presi-
Dental election and the election Of
Governors, Congressman, legislators,
etc, in many states"

Drys Threaten Fight on
Wet State Republicans
Anderson Serves Warning on
Hays of What Anti-Saloon
League prOuoses

William H; Anderson, state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League. in
an open letter to Will H. Hays, chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee, serves warning that the drys
will not stand for wet control Of the
Republican state machine. His letter
says in part:
"The Anti-Saloon League in this
state is not trying to defeat the Re-
publican party as such. We do intend to
send this wet state machine to the Junk
pile regardless of how long it takes
and are not afraid to take the risk of
accepting what seems to be a good
chance to do it this year. The beauty
of moral issue is, no matter what
happens its exoonents gain strength
provided only they fight when fight
ought to be made. While not indors-
ing either Harding or Cox, the fact
remains that as matter of state
strategy we are not interested in see
ing Tammany intrenched in Washing
ton any more than we are interested in
seeing this wet Republican bunch
again in the saddle at Albany"

Thompson Begins
His Speaking Tour
Attacks Public Utility Officials
as More Interested in Stocks
Than Service

Senator George F. Thompson, Of
Niagara County, in his campaign for
the Republican designation for Gov
ernor, got under way last week, speak
ing along the lake ahore at Medina,
Albion, Holley, Brockport, Spencer
port, Webster, Ontario and Williamson.
He went by auto. Senator Thompson is
chairman OF the Public Service Com
mlttee Of the Senate In his address
to the people of Nv ebster. Ontario and
Williamson on Friday night, he said:
One great help to the situation
would be to employ scientific and ex-
perlenced railroad men to operate the
railroads, and for the state to employ
scientific and experienced utility men,
including railroad men, to supervise
public utilities, instead Of a lot of
lawyers and bankers who have no rail-
road experience.
The trouble today with our rail-
roads and other public utilities is that
those IN control are more interested
IN stock market quotations of their
own and interlocked stocks than they
are in real service to the public or
honest profits to their stockholders.
What the directors want is that the
stock market should move; it is not
of much Importance to them whether
1T moves up or down. so long as it
moves in some direction, knowing in
advance, as they do, that it is going
to move, and in which direction and
how far"
Judge Nathan L. Miller, of Syracuse.

Near Springfield. Mass, for
Gang With 81,

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Aug. 22.-The
thirty policemen who thought they had
the five auto bandits who held up the
Portland National Bank in Portland.
Conn, yesterday surrounded in the
woods near here, discovered to-day
when they closed in and beat the woods
that the quarry had slipped through
their lines.
AS the fugitives abandoned their au-
tomobile when they took to the woods
the widespread hunt which was insti-
tuted yesterday has been abandoned and
the attention of the police is concen-
trated on railroad stations in the vicin-
ity. Although the gang had, about si,-
500 which they obtained in the bank
robbery, it is not thought likely that
they will take the risk of trying to buy
or steal another automobile.
On the chance that they may be-
afraid to visit railroad station patrols
have been sent out to cover the roads
in the hilly, wooded section where they
sought refuge. Most of the police and
practically ali of the volunteer search
ers have been recalled, however.

MUSIC
JACoBsEN,s RECITAL.

Not all the viollnists are Russians, nor
are they pupils of Auer Sascha Jacob
sen. for example. is an American and re-
ceived his musical education in this
town. 1t seems that this is not in his
favor. He should have been born In a
far country and emerged from II en-
shrouded in an air of mystery and a
hand made reputation. Then he would
doubtless have created as much excite
ment as half dozen imported fiddlers
who do not play as well as he does and
are not in the same realm as musicians.
He gave a recital in Carnegie Hall
last ecening. His programme contained
the sempiternal trill of his Satanic ma
jesty as dreamed by Signor Tartini of
blessed memory. a concerto of the wiz
ard Paganini and an assorted lot OF
small pieces, according TO the custom OF
tina time. Mr.. Jacobscns playing has
gained something of assurance and dash.
In tonal quality II was already of the
first order: and in the department Of in
tona;ion. even In the most formidable
double stops, this violinist is the equal
of any other now before the public.
The bow Is vigorous, elastic. and SEN
sitive with IL Mr.. Jacobsen gives great
depth and variety to his playing, and 10
this he adds a command of style which
is rarely at fault Perhaps there was
ground for question in his rather stormy
performance of the cadenzZa of the Tar
tint sonata. but in general his playing
had not only force, but breadth and fin
ish. Sascha Jacobsen Is one of the fore
most of young viollnists of this period
and he deserves the serious attention oil
the music loving public.
