Room By Heckling Him.
WASHINGTON, July 1.—President

a delegation of suffragettes in the
East room of the White House and
after hearing them on the question
of the right of women to vote tt»e
president informed the delegatipn
that the question of the ballot was
a matter for the states to decide and
that the federal governmen would
take no part in it.
When the women received the an
nouncement from President Wilson
that he would not aid them in the
fight for the ballot they began to
heeekle him and all of them talking
at once they demanded to know his
reasons and to argue with the chief
executive, who was forced to leave
the room through the back door, and
the women were requested to leave
the building by the special detail of
police which had been sent to the
White House in case of need.
ENEMIES AFTER
PEERLESS LENDER
May Make W. J. Bryan the Goat for
Administration Errors—Has a
Strong Personal Following.
WASHINGTON, July 1.—Secretary
of State W. J. Bryan today intimat
ed that his enemies were conspiring
to discredit him and that they were
resorting to every unfair and mean
advantage to do it, knowing that in
his position as Secretary of State he
cannot answer the charges, especial
ly those made regarding the conduct
of the State department.
Friends of the secretary believe
that his opponents in the party-in
tend to make him the goat for the
mistakes of the party leaders and
may force his resignation from the
the cabinet.
It is aiit.rst certain, however, thit
the followers of the “peerless” lead
er are so numerous that the party
leaders will be slow to cause a break
which would almost certainly paean
the defeat of the party at the com
ing congressional elections. 1

Speaks Lightly of 8ryan, Calls Tariff
a Failure and Foreign Folicy
Is Wretched
PITTSBURG, Pa., July 1.—Against
the advice of his physicians, Ex
president Theodore Roosevelt spoke
here last night to further the candi
daccy of Gifford Pinchot, his intimate
friend, who is the candidate for sen
ator from this state on the American
Party or Progressive ticket.
Col. Roosevelt paid his respects to
the Wilson administration and to Sec
retary Bryan, denouncing the new
Wilson-Underwood tariff, which he
stated was a colossal failure, having
failed to reduce the cost of living,
while it had been the means of open
ing the markets of the United States
to the cheaply paid articles manu
factured in *he European countries.
"The trust program of President
Wilson Is an economic absurdity,
while our foreign policy is wretched,"
according to the former head of the
government.
As was expected, Col. Roosevelt
coined a new phrase when he stated
that at present we uad a government
by “convulsions.”
Senator Penrose, the regular Re
publican nominee for the senatorship,
came ip for ^ good , roasting, the
speaker declaring that he was one of
the worst bosses of either the Repub
lican or Democratic parties, and who
by their actions had caused the pop
ular fepling within the Republican!
party that had caused the organize-.
Ron of the Progressive party to bet
ter carry out the mandates of the
people witliput interference from the
bosses.

veit Senator Peftroae, when informed!
of the attack made upon him by the;
former president, published a letter:
written to the Pennsylvania senator;
by Col. Roosevelt after the campaign
of 1904, when he complimented bim
upon the wonderful vote of Pennsyl
vania given to Roosevelt. The colonel;
paid a very, globing tribute to the
methods of penrose in securing the
.big Roosevelt vote of 1904. Penrose
also stated that Roosevelt was the
biggest boss‘and most selfish individ
ual in public life and that in 19081
and in the 1912 conventions he was
|he one^jjj^p bpss, forking only for
Roosevelt and' bis personal glory.

SEATTLE, July 1—The tug Cheha
lis, with a survey party of twenty
men, left here last night to commence
the work of locating uncharted rocks
in tue inside passage to Alaska.
Congress has Just appropriated
money for the purpose of dragging
a wire cable submerged to the depth
of thirty-five feet through all the
regular channels of the inside route.
The many accidents to vessels and
the great loss of life has pointed out
the necessity for charting rocks *liat
have escaped the vigilance of the dr
dinary coast and geodetic survey.
The plan adopted is for two small
launches to drag a wire that will
come into contact with all pinacle
rocks, so that they may be either re
moved or properly marked. The work
will be under the direction of an of
ficer of the coast and geodetic sur
vey and it is hoped to extend the
work to all parts of the coast of
Alaska.

The vote, as was predicted by
many, was light. The heavy vote in
the down town wards being all for the
present form of government and the
silk stocking voters of the aristocrat
ic wards failed to appear at the polls.
friends of Mayor Gill claim the
vote is a victory for the Gill admin
