Called on 1000 Dele
gates to Rejoice

Chicago, Feb. l3.-The 5lst annual
and final convention OF the National
American Woman Suffrage association
opened here to-day with 1000 delegates
in attendance. The first meeting turned
chiefly to a celebration of the expected
early victory of equal suffrage for
women and Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait,
president of the association, urged the
delegates to rejoice because there is
no earthly power that can do more than
delay by trife the final enfranchise-
ment of women
"Oh, women, be glad to-day" the
president said Let your voices ring
out the gladness in your hearts. There
will never come another day like this.
Let the JOY be unconfined and let 1t
speak so clearly that its echo will be

Voters, which suffrage leaders expect
will absorb the suffrage association,
began Yesterday to continue through
next Wednesday. Its initial meeting
developed sharp difference of opinion
among Republican and Democratic

suffrage leaders themselves said would
indicate whether women of widely dl-
yergent political opinions could estab-
lish and maintain a non-partisan po-
litical organization. The purpose OF the
League Of Women Voters, as announced,
is to shape legislation to the interests
of women.
A number of conferences to-day were
formulating legislative program

TRIAL OF NEW BERRY
MOVES SLOWLY
Witnesses Affected With Loss of Mem
ory-One Witness Received S25
Day for Doing Nothing.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. ID
Progress OF the Newberry e. lions
conspiracy trial moved slowly yester
day. The witnesses caused the delays
with u don't remember and Not to
my knowledge answers and only three
men were on the stand during the
morning session.
One of the three was Claire r. Hig
bee of the grand jury who supple
lnented his testimony OF Wednesday
by relating his recollection of what
James b. Haskins, one of the Newberry
publicity defendants told the grand
jury.
Harrison Merrill, Kalamazoo news
pap9rman who pleaded nolo conten-
dere was tho second witness. He told
Frank G. DALEY, the government conn-
sci that he had done no publicity work
for the S25 week he received for
more than three months. Later Martin
w Littleton for the defense refreshed
his memory sufficiently to learn that
some advert isements prepared by Mer-
rill lin odd moments were among
those used in the Newberry campaign.
The third witness, Oscar B, Kill
strom. of Grand Rapids, president of
the "Bolo club of Michigan" said
Charles A. Floyd, head of the local
Newberry headquarters, had given $500
for expenses for an organizing trip.
The cross examination brought out
that Bolo clubs had been organized in
several states before 1918 and that
there was one in Detroit in 1917. This
was designed TO offset the government
claim that the club which Kilstrom
headed was formed to evade rules of
the Spanish War Veterans and other
organizations regarding political ar
tvities.

HAS LOST MUCH
TRADE WITH CHINA
Since the Imposition of Boycott on
Japanese Goods Last May the
Loss Has Been 90 Per
Cent.

San Francisco, Feb. l2.--Japan has
lost 90 per cent of her trade with China
since the imposition of the boycott on
japanese goods last May, according to
NOLAN I. y III of Shanghai, delegate
of the Chinese General Chamber Of
Commerce to the national foreign trade
convention to be held here in May.
Commissioner ri, member OF one

turn here in time for the convention.
Speaking of Japan's loss OF the trade
il had built up with China during the
war, reaching volume of hundreds of
millions of dollars. Commissioner II
told of the opportunities offered to
Americans.
As condition precedent to this
great trade opportunity for America in
China, the primary considerations are

trade, Immediately upon your exports

obtaining the raw product from China,
manufactured the cotton and sent the
finished product back for Chinese mar
kets.
"Since the boycott due to tho Shan
tung situation, this great cotton mar
ket has been left practically open, and
one of my chief missions to this coun-
try is to establish connections with tho
big cotton exporters. China is urgently
in need of materials OF hardware and Of

japanese products again are suffering
from the boycott and the field is wide

differences are the product Of political

Chinese are also making strides in
the development of industries and
building up the manufactures of their
own country. Commissioner III said

GERMAN PRICES INCREASE.
Shortage of Raw Materials, Increased
Cost Of Coal and Wages Reflected.

American Headquarters, Coblenz,
Germany, Fob. l2.-Continued shortage
Of raw material, increased cost of coal
and wages is being reflected in a gen
cral increase in prices throughout Ger
many according TO the German news
papers.
a Hamburg rubber goods company
has announced a 80 per cent. increase
in the cost OF all goods. Leather goods
have gone up in price enormously.
Some dealers say the price has reached
such stage that they believe it will
be virtually impossible to do business
in the leather line if the price takes
another Jump. Trade papers have
recommended that leather goods be
permitted to be imported free of luxu-
~ tax.
German newspapers are contemplat-
Ing an increase both in the rate of
subscription and of advertising.
Despite the vail of high prices Ger
man newspapers published long ac-
counts recently to the effect that many
foreigners, especially Russians, had
been focking TO Germany TO take ad-
vantage of the low cost of living due
to the low value of the mark. One
newspaper saws: "The cost of living
for a foreigner in Germany to-day is
probably one fourth of that abroad.
Naturally, foreigners attracted by the
ehcapness of living conditions arc
locking to various parts of Germany.
Many of these are Russian emigrants
who escaped from Stockholm or Co
penhagen with money enough to last
them year or so but who. by coming
10 Germany, find themselves provided
with enough money to last them five
Or six years.
