Judge Who Sentenced Plotter
Was Sorry He Could Not
Impose Life Term.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-President
Wilson has commuted the sentence of
Franz Rintelen. a German convicted
OF wartime conspiracy. on condition
that he leave the United States be-
fore January l. He had served ap-
proximately three years of the four
years and two months Of sentences in
hicted upon him.
Rintelen, former officer In the
German navy. was convicted three
times and received sentences aggre-
eating four years and two months.
His first conviction was in May, 1917.
on r. charge of having conspired with
David Lamar the ''Wof of Wall
Street" and others to disrupt NUM-
ton traffic between the United States
and the Allies.
He pleaded guilty later to con-
spiracy in connection with fraudu-
lently obtaining a passport. In Feb
ruary. 1918, he was convicted or con-
spiracy to destroy food and munition
ships of the Allies by placing fire
bombs" in their cargoes.
Rintelen served his first sentence or
one year in a New Jersey penitentiary
and then was transferred to the peni-
tertiary in Atlanta to serve the two
other sentences.
Under the Presidents terms Rintelen
IS to give a bond of $1,000 that he VIII
leave the country by January l.
The identity of Franz Rintelen, who
was regarded as one of the most astute
and powerful of all the German propa-
gandists and conspirators sent to the
United States, has remained something
of a mystery despite the many accounts
of his former high connections.
He first came to New York in 1906
ostensibly to study American business
methods and conditions. Before he re-
turned to Germany in 1909 he had
established some financial connections In
Canada and had been interested in
political intrigues in Mexico. At any
rate, when Rintelen returned to Ger
many he not only had good knowledge
of English, French and Spanish but
he understood conditions and sentiment
OF most of the Western Hemisphere.
Rintelen came again to tbe5 United
States in 1915. He, it is said had a
fund OF $50, 900, 600 at his disposal. II
1916 he became involved in some trouble
r. London and narrowly escaped facing
"a firing squad.
Justice Harlan B. Howe In the United
sta ties District Court. in sentencing Rim
telAn on February 6, 1913, expressed
regtet that he could not give life SEN
tendes 20 him and the ten Germans
conN cited with him. The specific offence
FOR " hich he was tried was the placing
or botnbs on the British steamship Kirk
oswalN in May. 1915. He was con-
victed of conspiring to cause strikes In
munitid'n plants and of falsely repre-
sentinG himself to be an American
citizen I'm order TO obtain a passport.
Rinteken was said to have been
close friend of Kaiser Wilhelm, the
Crown h'rince and Admiral Won Tir-
pitt, and. also to have been prominent
socially ia Berlin. He held a member
ship for a. time in the New York Yacht
Club At one time. IL was said. Rim
tcIen was worth s15.000.00 in his own
name and was a director in the Deutsche
Bank.

NEW YORK, Aug. l0.LThe fashions

Dame Fashicn-this year she an

purely and solely American-are
somewhat different from the modes
OF other seasons in that, speaking
paradoXically. the designers have
brought simplicity to play in numer-
Gus didoes and frills.
Napoleon giving the Pyramid the

used by the designer who had the

creation Is entirely red. To complete
the color scheme a pocketbook of red

thrown in. A long time ago, It's said.

NEW YORK. Aug. I9.-Georse
White, Democratic national chair
man, made the following state
ment:
"The women Of America have
passed through serious trials in
their efforts TO secure the right OF
the ballot, and the action of the
Tennessee legislature Is a consum-
tions.
Tennessee has responded to the
call and holds the proud position Of
furnishing the vote by which the
Nineteenth amendment has been
ratified.
1.-The Democratic party welcomes
the women OF the nation and awaits
their votes in November with con-
fdence as to the result"
VIII II. Hays, chairman of the
Republican national committee,
said:
II cannot too strongly voice the
gratitude which ! feel that the suf-
fraRe amendment is ratified.
Both parties recognize that tho
effects OF the approaching Presi-
Dental election will influence our
national life, for veal or for woe,
for at least fifty years. There has
never been an election in which 1t
was more important for opinion and
sentiment to express themselves.
With the constitutional right given
the millions of American women, we
will liberste a body of public opin-
ion upon the campaign and it's is
sues which will prove itself one of
our greatest national assets.
I'VE want these women in politics
We want them in politics this year
more than ever before. Ratification
OF the amendment clears the politi-
cal atmosphere and makes possible
the functioning of a very great eIe-
ment for good In our political life.
and is a final triumph OF supreme
justice for American women. Again,
I say, i cannot too strongly voice
my gratitude"

an, OF Kansas have been very
much pleased with the fine support
the Hearst papers gave the suffrage
cause. 1t is a service which will be
appreciated. l am sure, by the women
of this nation who have been deprived
altogether too long of a right which
Is justly theirs.
Suffrage was not an issue in Kan
sas. The women in Kansas have had
the ballot in State and local elections
more than thirty years and universal
suffrage for seven years
placing the ballot in the hands of
the women of the State has impelled
all political parties to include in their
programs and platforms humanitar-
ian projects and moral issues which
previously they had ignored. 1t has
caused a more careful selection of
nominees. 1t has had a wholesome
effect in cleaning the State of spoils-
man politics and has made for higher
ideals in both public and private life"
Senator James ID. Phclan, Demo-
'crat, Of California-"Woman suffrage
was inevitable. The Hearst papers
in California and elsewhere have
borne the heat OF the day and should
share now the sweets of victory"

the cause.
senator Thomas Helm, Of Alabnma a.
"A suffrage victory in Tennessee is

success of the suffrage movement.

chairman OF the Democratic NaiionAi
Campaign Committee:
Genuine friends OF suffrage re-
sent the shameless attempt OF you
and Mrs. Bass TO credit the Demo-
cratic party with the suffrage amend
ment. The nTst Wilson Adminlstra-
ton was bitterly hostile 10 sunrAse
throughout its four years OF power
and after Mr.. Wilson had been re-
elected in 1919 by the women voters
OF the West, he gratefully ackno"l-
edged their services by lawlessly
throwing into jail hundreds or them
who stood at his gates demanding
their political freedom.
"You and Mrs. Bass may rejoice
overe Tennessee. but every one else
knows that the Democratic party
has given a miserable seven states
out of the thirty-siN necessary lot

the women alone has won the victory.
And this same spirit VIII prevent
