.SUFF DELEGATION SA|LSFOR EUROPE Go to Attend Congress of International Suffrage AL
 liance at Geneva
By Associated Press

New York, May 19.-The American woman suffrage delegation, headed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, interna- : tional president, sailed from here to- day on the steamer Royal George for Europe to attend the eighth congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance at Geneva. Switzerland. June to 12.
 There were thirty delegates, alter mates and visitors in the party, in cluding Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the secretary of the Navy, who goes as an official representative of the United States government.
 Mrs. Daniels, in a statement issued before sailing, expressed pride that the women of the south were playing such an important part in suffrage matters and evinced confidence that before the party returns suffrage states will have ratified the nineteenth amendment to the constitution. She said she had received information that the Louisiana legislature, now in ses- sion, will ratify suffrage.
 Besides Mrs. Catt. Mrs. Daniels and Mrs. Stanley Mccormick. first corre- spending secretary of the international alliance. the party included Mrs Adolph E. Racquet of Louisiana, and Mrs Desha Breckinridge of Kentucky.

 Washington. May -(SpeciaD-Repre- sentative Oliver of Alabama, who yes terday declared Representative Madden of Illinois to be "cowardly liar" when he reiterated an expression to the effect ttat Gen. Robert E. Lee was a traitor, was inundated by messages of congratu- lation from practically all southern states today
 Camps of Confederate veterans in Ala bama, Georgia and Mississippi wired their appreciation of his defense of the south and his rebuke of Madden, and from Alabama Florida, and Tennessee, Daughters of the Confederacy expressed intense satisfaction that MT. Oliver was a member of Congress.
 Numerous republicans quietly shook hands with MT. Oliver today, and while all declared disapproval of Madden's in- temperance, some went so far as to add that they were glad he had been called a liar.
 The Congressional Record of this morn ing contains no reference to MT. Oliver s statement, the stenographers being unable iH the excitement to positively identify time, it was significant that when the remark was made no member moved that it be expunged from the record.
 Madden, although Washington papers declared MT. Oliver had called him liar sought no explanation today and de- handed no retraction.

 that is disfigured in any way. The prime consideration, however, is the price. The lot must not be too costly. In the present condition of high prices of material, the s500,000 which the city has provided to build the audi torium and purchase the site will not go very far Therefore, the price
 must be taken into consideration"
 The selection of the lot will not be made with undue haste said the chairman. But we realize the impor- tance of immediate erection, and we will proceed with all promptness. The members of the committee are subject to call at any time, and as soon as
