Wifi JOHN I. WAS DROPPED

Washington, May 27-Colone1 Will liam Cooper Proctor, Cincinnati man. ufacturer, who has been described as -the angel" of Major General Leon ard Woods Ohio campaign, testified today at the Senate investigation of .pre-cnnvention political financing that he had advanced $5oD, ,0eO to Woods national organization
 Pressed for some information about the Wood campaign before he be- came it's leader and the connection of John T. King of Connecticut with the Wood movement, Col Proctor said he knew MT King had severed his connection with the Wood cam paign and that 1t was necessary for him to reorsanize, which he did
 ~I found no organization and no evidence of it, and no progress had been made said he-
 Ibid you ask King about it?.' Sen ator Reed asked
 Yes, and never was tDld,' Proc tor replied
 .-You can't tell whether any money had been raised and spent by Kmg?- Reed asked
 ~H asked him about it just before he severed his connection I asked what he was doing and he declined to tell I had talked with Gen Wood about the matter, and about the req sons for taking 1t out of Kings hands,
 When Senator Reed asked for de- tails on the break between Gen Wood and MT King, Col Proctor appealed to Chairman Kenyon to find wheth- CT these were included in the com mittee's authority He was inform cd that they were, but Senator Edge demurred
 ''Pd like to know what there is about this campaign that you fear to have brought out here," exc,arned Senator Root What is it you fear IS going to be told? want to de- velop whether there is a connection between King and te present cam paign-
 You talked with Gen. Wood" he continued, turning to Col. Proctop land learned that new management was necessary Thereupon your man. agement succeeded that of King. Sa if we are to get all the facts we must go back to the King period. Were any funds turned over to you that King had gathered?'
 There weren't any funds," Col Proctor replied
 "tHow does he know7'' he was ask ed
 ~I asked King-no, am mistaken, I don't believe I did ask him, but they had none. There may have been some unpaid bills," Col Proctor said.

WASHINGTON, March 6-Yesterday
marked The centenary OF militant suf-
frage,
One hundred years ago Susan b, An
thony, the first militant suffraglst was
born In South Adams, Mass
Today the disciples OF Susan b An
thony are making iiuar drive In an
effort to make good the prophecy Of
that first militant VINO predicted that
the year 1920 would see women voting
If that prophecy is to be fulfilled eight
more states must ratity the suffrage
amendment IS having done SO already.
Upon the shoulders Of Miss Alice Paul
leader Of the National Womans party,
has fallen the mantle Of Miss Anthony
as director of the militants. and Miss
Paul declared today that the greatest
tribute which can be paid to the MEM
DRY Of the first militant Is success In
obtaining ratification Of the suffrage
amendment. To that end we are all
working at top speed" said Miss Paul.
Susan b Anthony was the daughter
Of liberal Quaker, a cotton manulaC-
turer, and II is a peculiar coincidence
that the modern Joan of Arc Of suf-
frage-MiSS Paul-is also a Quaker.
1t was as a school teacher that Susan
b. Anthony first became known TO the
public and the same is true of Miss
Paul.
But ii was the temperance movement
which first inspired Miss Anthony on
and finally led her to suffrage as the
| real cure for many Of the evils Of hei
| day. Having organized the New York
State Temperance society in 1852, she
became an aboltionist in 1857, and took
up the leadership for women's rights
after the first womens rights conven.
