SUFFRAGE TO FAIL
 IF TESTED IN COURT
 |S BELIEF 0F ANTS

NEW YORK. Feb. 14.-Granting of woman suffrage "over the heads of the people" by legislative act ..cannot stand the tests in the courts that will inevitably ensue" is the assertion made in a statement issued here to- nightb v the National Association Op- posed to Woman Suffrage.
 These cases,'' the statement con- tinues, should ratification be obtained in time for women to vote this year. will not only hold up the election re- suit, as did the Hayes Tilden conflict. but possibly necessitate a second cleo ton. Republican and democratic chairmen. working under the suffrage whip, are leading the country straight for political chaos
 The statementwas amplified by Miss Mary G. Kilbreth, the president. who declared two suits would bel instituted to test the constitutionality of the An thony amendment if it becomes opera tive before the presidential and state elections next fall. Miss Kilbreth de- clined to give details of the legal ac- ton contemplated or to name the counsel retained, but said preliminary steps already had been taken
 Attached to the statement, which was signed by Miss Kiibreth, was a copy. Of telegram sent to the gover- nor of Washington, congratulating him on his failure to call a special session of the legislature to ratify the woman suffrage amendment.

ARMY CLIQUE |SCONDEMNED
 BY HARRISON
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Attacking the policy of the general staff in de- mobiliz;ng officers as having resulted ill discrimination and favoritism.' af- fecting hundreds of officers. Senator Harrison. democrat. Mississippi, told the senate today he hoped the facts he would present would influence Sec retary Baker ito direct change in the policy of demotions to remedy the disriminations already infliced upon hundreds of army officers
 Senator Harrison was speaking on his resolution directing the secretary to furnish a statement Of the policy governing demotions.
 Senator Harrison directed his critf1 cisin particularly at reductions of of ficers to their pre-war rank
 Many older officers of the service Senator Harrison said, have recently been reduced, while young officers. and high pay under the general staff policy.
 The prevalent belief among the of- ficers of the army, he declared, was that favoritism and incompetency was displayed.
 ity were taken into consideration in re- ducing officers, Senator Harrison charged.
 .Tie Washington clique retained their advanced rank" said he, "and I am tolo that colonels at Hoboten would greet returning veteran brigadier gen erals and order them to adjourn to a reduced rank. Generals. colonels and lieutenant colonels before starting home from abroad were ordered to carry in their baggage the insignas of coionels, majors and lietenant coloneis.
 Senator Harrison said that it would seem that in many instances the thought uppermost in the minds of the general staff in reducing certain men at rank was to put up job on con- gross and the secretary of war and they did not fall far short of accom- pIishn1ent" He cited cases of former Brig. Gems. c. w. Kutz, John H. Hodges Henry c. Jewett Beriant H. Wells, W c. Langfitt, Mason NJ. Pat rick and Maj. Gems. w IT. Johnston and Preston Brown. as instances of in5ustices he charged.
 No blacker page has been written, no greater degree of injustice pespe- trated. no moro negotiable wrong ir- flicted upon any part of the fighting forces than the general staff has meted out in it's policy of demobilization,' he said.

His head was large and < he hat was too small and he wore It until sit was time to adjust the moose on his neck It was not because Of his lack of reverence. but because of his great sense of humor: he was a good fellow. We used to pitch quoits in the yards together: he was always good humored.
 The morning of the execution I had Lieutenant Colonel Mccall lead Mrs Surratt from her cell to the gallows as didn't want an ordinary soldier to lay hands on her.

T ordered the bodies cut down, put in boxes and buried. I took charge of Mrs. Surratt myself I lifted her ten derly in my arms, her limp body bend ing as l held it. I removed the moose from her neck and with mx own hands placed her in the box. Colonel Watts, of Adrian.

 After the execution Rath was ordered to take care of Booths body, which V as supposed to have been thrown in the Potomac river, but which Rath secretly buried underneath the Arsenal at Washington.
