concerned over the results In November.
"DANGEROUS STATE OP ELATION."
"A dangerous state of elation" la tho
way some of the suffragists described
their feelings this morning at tho victory
gained by them in the Senate.
According to Miss Llda Stokes Adnms,
vice president of the t'i'tiimlvatiln asso
ciation, the votes for women advocate
have not been nearh so sure of tin Ir
ground latterly as they were at the time
of the State Convention at Scranton bo
cause of the activity uf the nntls In tri
ms to bring about another hearing.
"We simply brought piesoure to bear,"
eho said like a real politician, "and thcic
foro the movement to hnvo the hearing
was killed, you see, wo have hnd two of
them ono four years ago and one two
years ago. To havo had another would
hnvo meant the bringing down to. Hiirrij
burg such speaker as .Mih. Carrln Chap
man Cntt, Mrs. IJentrlco Forbes ilobut
eon Hrle and other of our speakers of
national reputo It would huvc entnllel
an endless waste of timo and a needless
expenditure of monej."
In the opinion of Mis 1'aul McConomy,
a district leader at 21st and Hrnmlywlnu
etreete, tho most "gloi'loiiM victory of
all" lies In the fact thut seven of tho
eight Senators In Philadelphia County
voted for the pasigi of the autfrugu
measure.
"Senator McXIfhol " said she, "was the
only ono who rildn t vote for us. lie
wasn't true to the piomlses of his party,
but followed the dictates of his own be
lief. He lra no t)mpnth) with our
cuune."
Hpurred on by the passage of the bill,
suffragists arn now planning n campaign
of tho Utmost activity and care In order
to bring about a. real victory In tho fall,
when the measure comes beforo tho
people. Never have they been so near
to tho goal, they believe, and In conse
quence the occasion for proceeding with
extreme astuteness and caution bus never
been so great.
"We now feel that winning at tho
polls," said Mrs. McConomy, "Is not only
possible, but probable. Wo shall woik
hard to win."

reallzo that women, being compelled to
obey the laws, should have a hand In the

DISCOVERED HOODING SHOP
Thief Dodges Policeman's Bullet and
escapes,
A thief who was robbing the tailor
shop of D, Goldberg, 41 South 17th atrect,
this morning was surprised by Pntiolman
A. Grndcr, who noticed .1 sldo window
open. As tho pntrolmnn climbed through
tho sldo window the thief quietly slipped
out of tho renr door. Ho was not quick
enough to mnko IiIr escape unnoticed,
nnd Grader gave chase Two shots wcro
tired, but tho thief escaped by dnitlng
Into n dark alley. Grader returned and
found several bundles of suits and n
little money lying on tho tloor.
Thieves entered the residence of MKs
Maiy St. J. Hushes, U2S Pino s.rcct,
and mndo away with J103 noith of Jewelry
yesterday morning. They forced their
entry through a sldo window. Monday
afternoon robbers Jumped the back fence
and opened a dining room window In tho
home of Thomas Mullen, 1732 South Uth
street. They stole Jewelry estimated
at 575.
Religious and pnlltlrn! faiths were for
gotten last night whin moro limn 20.000
persons, swnyed by Secretary of State
William Jennings Hrynti and occupying
every avallnblc Inch of space In tho
labernnclo, Joined In one of the most Im
pressive temperance demonstrations ever
seen In this city.
It was the opening meeting of the Slalo
wldc rnmtmlgn for tempi rnlice under the
auspices r.f the newly formed National
Total Abstinence 1'nloii., An enthusiastic
thiong of men and women, estimated at
from 11,000 to 15.W0, virtually mobbed
Keuetory Hryan wlfn pledge? of tolal
abstinence from Intoxicants The pledges
hnd been distributed for signatures.
Kneeling on tho floor In a state of
metitnl and physical exhnuntion after his
masterful address, Secretary Hryan, who
bad promised to "countersign" every
pledge turned In, had to be rescued by
the police after ndlxlng Ills slgnnturo to
moio than 1500 clgned promises from his
hearers. Mrs Hryan had attempted to
assist her husband to meet the demands
uf tho throng, but with the nsslstunco
of a detail of police rescued her distin
guished husband nfter hl hnnd, tired,
nnu urnppeu helpless at his side.
GREATEST RALLY IN COUNTRY.
It waa n dramatic conclusion to what
was, In tho opinion of tho leaders who
arranged the meeting, tho most enthusi
astic temperance lally ever held in this
country and probably In tho world. It
was nlso a Justification of tho theory
that tho people will lespond more readily
to tno old-rtishloncd custom of ' tnklng
tho pledge." Lust night's demonstration,
It is predicted, will go' fur toward ma
terially decreasing t'no domnnd for liquor
In tho ontlro State, even without legisla
tive action.
Tho time scheduled for tho opening of
the meeting was 7 o'clock. Uy 6 IS o'clock
tlm tnbernnrle wns crowded to tho doors.
"Hlllj" Sunday hymns kept the crowd
busy until the choir started anil "The

11 refrain, the bunion of which was the
advent of grnpo Juico as the national
drink, and I'cnn, Swarthmoro. Jefferson,
Medico Chi and Hahnemann students and
pupils from other schools added to tho
demonstration with their class nnd col

HRYAN AT HIS BEST
Secrotury Boon's speech was n charac
teristic broadside at tho "quor tralllc.
Ho astonished the uuillem 0 v 1 1 1 the state
ment that tho I'nlled States spent al
most fiJnOOOO.W) annually for Intoxicating
Ilquois Tho nppropilations foi running
tho Government, he shouted, Is less than
this by one-half.
The cost of the Panama Cannl. hn ,in.
Glared, wns approximately $100,000,000. "Is
It not appalling." shoutod Mr Hryan, "to
think that wo spend for drink even vear
six times tno cost of thut glgnntlc work?"
Moro than three times the amount ex
pended In this country for oducutlon In
cveiy Stnte goes to the liquor Interests,
he pointed out.
"I believe In tho pledge," he shouted,
perspiration streaming from his face, nnd
almost closing his oyes. "I begnn sign
ing tho plcdgo before I cun lemember.
1 have never failed to sign. If by signing
I could get somo ono else to sign with

ready to sign with any one and every
"Tho nation submits to liquor taxation
which Is live times as great as It would
penult any political party to levy. Shut
off tho demand nnd there will bo no Bnle.
Tho drunkntd comes from the moderato
drinker and not tho total abstainer. Tho
use of alcohol not only lowers a man's
productive capacity, but It Imparts con

linn the strongest warship afloat, and de
clared tho American navy never wns so
powerful, so rendy, or so cftlclcnt as now,
"Our now Pennsylvania, with Its dis
placement of 31,400 tons and a speed of
21 knots, carrying 12 11-Inch guns," ho
said, "Is a moro powerful bnttleshlp than
tho Queen Elizabeth, of which much has
recently been published. Tho Queen
Elizabeth, England's most powerful bat
tleship. Is of 27,500 tons displacement, Sho
carries eight 15-Inch guns, In four turrets
of two guns. Although tho guns of tho
Queen Elizabeth are ono inch turgor than
tho guns of tho Pennsylvania, tho total
weight of shells llred in ono broadsldo of
12 guns from the rennsjlvnnla is about
23 per cent, gientor than tho amount
thrown by ono broadside of the eight
guns from the Queen Elizabeth; nnd while
the speed of tho Queen Ellrabcth Is four
knots greater than that of tho Penn
nylvanln, tho armor protection of tho
Pennsylvania Is considerably greater than
that of tho Queen Elizabeth, and tno
speed of Englnnd's Inter dreadnoughts
will bo about tho samo as tho Penn
sylvania's. "Tho Jnpaneso bnttleshlp Fuso, now
building, approaches the Pennsylvania
111010 nearly In size than any other for
eign battleship. Sho Is of SO.OOO tons dis
placement, with a speed of 21 knots. Sho
carries 12 H-Inch guns, In sl tun eta of
two guns each. Tho four turret arrange
ment on tho Pennsylvania Is regarded
proferablo to the six tunet arrangement
on tho Fuso.
"Tho launching of tho Pennsylvania Is
onn of many concrete proofs of tho
Httongth, olfectivnni'ss and stead) develop
ment of tho navy of 1913, 'Wo shall tako
leavo to bo strong upon tho sea In tho
future ns In tho pnst,' declared Presi
dent Wilson In his December message to
Congress in outlining the duty of America,
"Tho motto of tho navy of today is
'training, training und moro training:
practice nnd moro practice' Nothing else
keeps ships and men lit. Today they aro

It requires considerable practice to
sleep in a barrel without complaining.
But Jacob Horwltz and Charles Herman
are experienced In this kind of Blumber.
They were both sleeping peacefully In
two oil barrels ner Front street and Ol
rard avenue when they were "over
heard" by Policeman Nelson The snores
of, the pair were accentuated by their
somewhat tubular beds. As the uncon
scious vocal efforts sounded like hissing
bombs n their early stages Nelson drew
his revolycr and approached the barrels
with some Hesitation.
He was surprised to see the two lodgers.
each folded like a. jackknlfe and appar
ently at peace with the world. He dumped
the barrels of bums on the sidewalk and
then stood them up. Even at that It
took considerable shaking to remind them
then that they were really out of bed.
The cop took them both to the Front
and Master streets station.
'I was sober," said Horwltz as UnH.
irate ecou eyen mm suspiciously,
'Me too," murmured Berman.
"They were both barreled," declared the
policeman.
"One look at either one of you,' said
the Judge, addressing the prisoners, "j
enough to convince me."
"We're from Manayunk," said Jlorwlti
"Your previous geographical location
has nothing tu do with the case," the
Magistrate asserted. Then tie added:
"Because you're both from Manayunk
atves you w cause for gtitiog drunk;
"
ononis
I guess the booze was all your own se.
lection.
I'll give you both chance to reflect.
And when I say that you can expect
To do it all up at the Correction."

WEST CHESTER, Pa., March lO.-Tho
hearing o tho application of nenjamln
J. Dorshehner for a license at tho Hotel
Grand, Contesvlllc, occupied tho entire
morning session ot tho License Court
today. Charges of selling to men of
intemperate habits wcro mndo against
tho proprietor.
Lewis Davis, ot Coatesvillo, testified
that ho bought drinks while, drunk In tho
burioom and had seen others got liquor
In bottles while Intoxicated. Ho said ho
was -so urunK mat lie wns taken homo
by tho Hev. T. W. MoICenney, a Methodist
minister." Ho signed a rcmonstranco
against tno license. Ills statement was
corobnrated by the minister.
Hemplo Holland said ho obtained drinks
whllo under tho Influence of liquor nt
tho hotel and saw Claienco Boyd do tho
samo. Ho said ho "hit the trail" several
mouths ugo nnd had not taken n drink
since.
Boyd said ho had procured whlskv wiiiin
drunk on a number of occasions at tho
nuiei oar nna nao uought bottles of
liquor thero whllo Intoxicated. Harry
Prosser tald Dorshelmer had cashed
checks for Boyd while the latter was In
toxlcated, so ho could pay his bill at
the bar.
Attempted bribery was charged by Po
Ilceman Thohiaa Nafe. He testified that
he had received 115 from llnrui.oi,,,.- ,...
hnd returned It, as ho understood It was
offered as a bribe so that he would not
tell certain things he knew about the bar
vmei or ronce cwis uranson said he
had received 10 from the hotel man, but
had sent it back with a reply that he
could not be bought.

The Pennsylvania will bo manned by
65 onicers and a crow of 11(10 enlisted
mon. Tho monstor bnttleshlp still lacks
her groat turrets and guns, but sho
was dressed today In Hags and bunting
and mado a noblo nppearnnce. Work
on her will bo hurried thnt iin .......
soon tnko her placu In tho battlo lino
of tho fleet.
When tho Pennsylvania wns deslgnod
In 1012 no naval Power had contem
plated so formidable a craft. But slnco
then Great Britain hns designed and
jiubiicu 10 completion tno Queen Ellza
", -"" others of hor clnss. Tho Queen
Lllznboth has eight 15-inch guns.
Whether sho would bn moro ttmn o
match for tho Pennsylvania Is n prob
lem for naval theorists, and probably
thoy would not agrco on tho answer.
The speed of the Pcniisyhunln will bo
only .'1 knots, or 21.17 miles nn hour. This
Is n disappointment to many, for for
eign iiuvlcs havo given more attention
to speed. Who must niako her 21 knots
on four hours' trial.
TOTAL COST ?H,173,O0O.
Complcto with armor, guns nnd equip
ment, the Pennsylvania will cost ?H,173.
0W. Its tonnage will be 31.100, almost
three times thnt of tho fiiinnim n ,-,.
of tho Spanish War. She Is COO feet long,
with water Hue, and COS feet over all and
i ie j.. men wine, a close lit for the
Panama Cannl locks. nCr draft will bo
23 feet 10 Inches.
Besides tho twclvo H-lnch guns, two
moro than tarried by the Texas or the
Now York, tho Pennsylvania will have
four subnuro'od torpedo tubes and twenty-two
r.-inch guns for dofenso against
destroyers.
Tho armor belt Is 18 Inrhos thiu hi,
will bo driven by engines using oil as
fuel.
A statistician has figured that tho Penn
sylvania will weigh as much ns 000 steel
freight enrs loaded with coal. To h.
struct tho Pennsylvania when going full
tilt would mean to tako a blow from
hor ram bow amounting to the destruct
ive" energy of more than 00,000 foot tons,
or substantially n duplication of tho com
bined power to do harm of all her big
gest guns at the Instant of simultaneous
firing.
