PANAMA Halls WALES;
CANAL AMAzES HEIR
British Prince Dincd and "Tead"
and Danced" on Way to
Australia.
by Associated Press to Every Evening

Panama, March 30.--Blasting opera
tions in the Culebra Cut section Of the
canal were necessary today before the
British battleship Renown, with the
Prince of Wales on board, could proceed
through the great waterway. As the
Renown neared the point where land
slides have recently occurred, boats went
ahead and made soundings, discovering
a rock of so feet square directly in the
course to be taken by the vessel. After a
wah of two hours, the rock was removed
at the risk of dislodging more landslides
and then the Renown was towed over
the dangerous and narrow channel.
This was the only hitch in the program
arranged for the Princes visit to the
Panama Canal When the Renown
arrived at the Atlantic end of the water
way it was boarded by Governor Hard
ing, President Lefevre, American and
French representatives and Commanders
of the United States military and naval
and Isthman forces. When Gatun Dam
was reached Governor Harding explained
the operation OF the canal, the Prince
expressing astonishment at the magnitude
OF the engineering feat accomplished
there
A luncheon was given on board the
Renown, the only toasts being To President
Wilson and King George. The British
Minister gave dinner, reception and
dance in honor of the Prince at the
Hotel 1'ivoii tonight.
Crowds greeted the Prince as bis ship
proceeded through the canal, while
airplanes whirred overhead and served
rs escorts. The Prince appears 20 be
in better health than when he visited
Canada and tho United States
The Renown will sail Thursday for
San Diego after taking aboard 5000
barrels of oil az Balbao.

States State Department will send

Wales again to the country, the Renown

San Francisco. Cal, March 30
Eugene Davis, mining millionaire is
noted for his gallantrv But the other day
he was put 70 the test. Into his bachelor
apartments ut the Palace Hotel came 4
pretty girl carrying a suitcase. She looked
uncertainty at DAVIS q moment and then
took various articles of feminine attire
out of her grip and deposited them on
Davis's bureau.
In another moment the door opened
and a second pretty girl came in She too
glared at Davis and then opened her suit
case. A third girl appeared, then a fourth
and fifth. In ten minutes there were Is
charming young women in full possession
of Davis's apartments They began re-
moving hats and wraps and taking down
their hair.
"One moment, young ladies'" pleaded
Davis. "If you intend to go any further,
permit me to go out.
Why, aren't you the costumer?" they
chorused
Il am not, ~ said Davis, darn the
luck"
Investigation developed that the beauty

HOW ARKANSAS
VIEWS SUFFRAGE
Legislators Whipped Into Line by
Politicians and Its
Result.

Mrs. Henry b. Thompson, president
Of the Delaware Association Opposed to
Suffrage for Women, received the following
letter today, from legislator of Arkan
sas, which was the eleventh State Z
ratify suffrage, but according to this
letter, there are many people in that
State who are sorry for the action. The
letter. which speaks for itself and needs
no comment follows:
Dear Madam: Just word of encourage
ment TO YOU from the South. Stand by youi
colors. 1t is only through demagoguery
snd common politics that the suffrage
movement has reached the proportions
that IL has now attained. The people OF
this country do not want it. 1t is only
in the legislatures where they can concen-
trate their efforts and political machina-
tions where the sutfragists are success
full.
''Our American home life is weakening
fast enough without being spurred on by
woman suffrage.
1T is really pitiful how many of our
great men (pardon me, | should have SAID,
supposedly great mem who Will admit 10
their closest friends that they are opposed
to woman suffrage but that they viii
vote for il because they believe 1T is coming
and they might rs well be on the band

who are afraid of their jobs, men who
have political aspirations rather than
craftsmanship aspirations. Ii is contemp-
tible, it is more than contemplate, 1t IS
pitiful.
"My friend, no one knows and probably
will ever know how many good men were
whipped into line by improper pressure
made possible by the card-indcx system
used in Congress, and this by women who
want 10 purify politics and help uplift
this country by their noble example. W hat
is fair for one is fair for another. Therefore,
how would It look for the trusts, or In
surance companies, or any interests 10

of congress from the time when they
left their mothers breasts, and to have all
their financial troubles, obligations, and
the Lord knows what else recorded, so
that they could know just where TO bring

wishes? If they do this they certainly keep
II a secret.
But, not so, the sufragists | really
believe that the suffragists are proud OF
their card-index system of Congress, when
they ought to hide their faces IN shame
But, nv dear sir, they have very little
