For three hours they talked. Finally they were Marble Room of the Sergeant-at-Arms, impossible for the Senate by the Senate to deal in the swing doors relieved themselves of much argu- mitted to vote. They also found much to criticise in the furnishings of the Marble Room. Likewise they went away of certain members of Congress. estimates of public men, which practically unanimous, were polled. They follow: Senator Clay—"Perfectly dear.” Senator Johnston — “Sweet thing.” Senator Beveridge-—"Nasty, ceited young upstart.” Senator Jurkett—"Rude erner.” Senator Wetmore—" Brute.” Senator Owen—*“ Dear old darling.” Representative Jenkins—"Just dear.” There were other expressions, these cover the principal actors the day's proceedings Incidentally, it might be said that Senators Bev- eridge, Burkett and Wetmore, who are members of the Committee on are ol face the music. emphatically present, for he one of his impassioned speeches and filled the atmosphere with eloquence for the women at the hearing in the | House committee room. It was an imposing crowd that] ate. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, New York, the international president of the Suffragists’ the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, of can Suffragists, led the procession. When they reached the Marble Room they found Senator Clay awaiting them. He wore Senatorial habila- ments and a strained smile. “Ladies,” he said, and bowed low as they streamed into the room. Mrs. Catt denounced the lack of attendance of members of the com- mittee, “Never since we have been coming here,” she sald, “have there been more than twe or three Senators pres- ent to hear us.” Her Senator Clay was saved by the timely arrival of Senator Johnston, who ambled in with the alr of a martyr going to the stake, “What we women are asking for,” said Mrs. Catt, “is every bit as con- stitutional as the enfranchisement of the negro. You don’t want us to go to the negro and beg him to give us a volece in this free Government, do you? Then give us some hope of Congressional action looking toward a constitutional amendment.” Senator Clay looked impressed with the solemnity of the declaration. Un- der the table he held tightly to the coatiuils of Johnston, who showed signs of bolting. Clay balked his attempt at flight. When the Senate was about to con- vene, Senator Clay sought to usher the suffragists out in true Southern style. He failed. Then Sergeant-at- Arms Ransdell was called. He did his best to be tactful, but his name really should be added to the poll list, for every one of the visitors said he was “perfectly horrid.” The hearing before the House Com- mittee on Judiciary was in charge of Cherokees Want Texas to Give Them Realty Worth $50,000,000. Dallas, Texas, -— A telegram from Muskogee says full blood Cherokees presented to Indian Agent Dana H. elsey a document, signed in 18385 by Sam Houston and fifty-three other Texans, granting to the Cherokees in perpetuity 3,200,000 acres of land in sk Smith, Cherokee and Angelina counties, with the request that he {m- mediately transmit the document to Congress, with a claim against the State of Texas for the land. The land would be would $50,000,000, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Gillette, of Washington; Mrs. Catt, Mrs. Richard W. sachusetts; of Utah; Mrs. Craig of New York; Mrs. ter Boyer, of Pennsylvania, Gordon, of Louisiana.

The saloon element always fights woman suf- frage. It was the saloon element that prevented the women being given the suffrage by the Oklahoma constitutional convention.” Representative Alexander, of New York, interrupted to say that a great objection to woman suffrage would be that the immigrant women coming into the United States would be made voters. “The immigrant men,” replied Mr Owen, “are educated in the saloon Their women would neutralize thie saloon vote and this would benefit the Btate. Besides, they are the women who will bear our future citi zens. Shall we bring up the mothers of our citizens in the eternal belief that they are a thing apart from our Government and have no part in it?" Senator Owen at the conclusion of his address was given an ovation by the women present, At the conclusion of the hearing Mrs. Upton asked the Judiciasy Com: mittee if it could not make a favor able report on the joint resolution, tc make an unfavorable one so that the matter might be debated on the floor of the House.
