W0MEN'S PLEA IS . UP TO CONFERENCE
Proposed Equal Rights Treaty
 Presented to Plenay Session

Havana, Feb. R-Delegates to the Pan-American congress today had before them & plea of the wo- men of the Americas for equal rights.
 The proposed equal rights treaty drawn up by Miss Alice Paul of the United States was presented to a plenary session of the conference by Doris Stevens, chairman of the com mittee on international action of the Women's party of the United States. Miss Stevens, making the keynote speech, asserted:
 Woman Talks
 Enlightened women are in revolt against acts done for their good. We want no more laws written for our good and without our consent. We must have the right to direct our own destiny jointly with you.'
 She urged the delegates to make 8 treaty within the next five years establishing the principle of wo- mems suffrage in all the American republics. She asked that women be allowed to consult with the confer ence and it's sub b-committees as col- leagues. not auxiliaries.
 "Act Wisely"
 "You might better act wisely and justly immediately on what you will have ventually to do." she continued. Since the beginning of time men, with the best intentions no doubt, have been writing laws for our good; i; since the beginning of time brave and valiant women have been abol- ishing these same lawo written for our good"
 A half hour before this plea the conference approved resolution calling upon the legislatures of American governments to pass spe- cial maternity legislation. The meas ure would provide obligatory full pay leaves for all women employees for 8 period of 40 days before and after confinement. Leaders of the women remarked that this was the type of legislation in the passage and dis cussion of which they wanted part.
 To Draft Preamble
 The sub committee of the commit tee on Pan-American union had be- fore 1t today the work of drafting 8 preamble to the Pan-American union convention. It also had to clear up various minor points in connection with the union.
 Dr. Enrique Hernandez Cartaya of Cuba, reporter to the sub-commit- tee, had ready draft of preamble in which all the views expressed in the full committee debates were blended.

London, Feb. s R-Leap year is proving disastrous 10 engagements in Britain's higher social circles.
 The announcement that the Earl of Bandon's engagement to Miss Marjory Sheila Clifton has been broken off follows the cancellation of at least 20 other betrothais among, young couples prominent in London's social life since 1928 was rung in.
 The Earl of Bandon and Miss Clifton became engaged last June. He is an Irish peer and a famous flying man and football player. He had serious air crash a few months go.
 Mayfairs newest style regarding engaged couples who have decided after all not to marry is to an nounce the decision publicly. The custom of permitting broken en- agreements to become known slow ly, out surely. by whispering it about secretly is now considered very old fashioned indeed.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, September New high
records involving sharp upward move
n1ents in issues selected for leadership
gave the Curb Market an appearance of
pronounced strength again today. The
manner in which buying orders were
thrown upon the market in the face of
continued unfavorable developments in
the money situation indicated that
speculative sentiment still was not con-
cerned over credit conditions.
The spectacular rise in Industrial
Rayon shares overshadowed everything
else in the entire proceedings. Having
left of yesterday with net gain OF IA
points, the price started in today more
than points higher at 110A and shot
forward to a new high record of 125.
Rumors were current that the stock
was soon to be admitted to trading on
the Stock Exchange. There was no
doubt that a good sized short interest
had found itself badly trapped.
Auburn Auto was a noteworthy eX-
ception to the general trend and broke
almost 10 points to a new low. Offerings

BOND DEALSSHO
. BEAR|SH EFFECTS
Short Term Issues Especially
Influenced by New United
States Loans.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, September $50 fal
as prices we're concerned today, they
failed to indicate any disturbance on &C
count of the high rate paid by the Gov
ernment for money to refund the out
standing Third Liberty 4l4s. There
was. however under the surface, some-
what bearish feeling. especially on short
term issues, which come into direct
competition with the new Government
AZ per cent loan.
The early maturing Treasury issues
we're 1-l6 to 1-8 lower and Liberty
bonds rather heavy, The long Treasures
were not much affected. In the list of
high grade and 4 y per cent corpora
ton bonds there were about as many
advances as declined.
Effect of Treasury Financing.
What the Treasury announcement
does is to emphasize the strength of
money rates, and the probability that
such rates will remain high well into
1929. This must, therefore. be a factor
in any new financing and in setting
up the rate and price especially on the
prime public utility bonds that are now
under negotiation. Undoubtedly the
banks will subscribe heavily for the
new nine months notes. for with a rate
of Az per cent with tax exemption and
deposit going with banks subscrip-
ton the issue is more attractive than
the purchase of the regular line Of bank
Investments.
In addition to the S50000,000 of
bonds issued this week there are several
new offerings slated for next week,
among them $l5,000,000 of Georgia
