NUGENT AGAINST SUFFRAGE Declares "Mother of All 'Isms' " Great Menace Newark, N. J., Jan. 8. (By A. P.) Declaring woman suffrage In, New Jersey "would give Impetus and en couragement to socialism." James It. Nugent, a state Democratic leader, nan refused a request of Homer S. Cum mlugs, chairman of the Democratic national committee, to aid In securing ratification by the New Jersey Legisla ture of the federal suffragp amendment. In a letter made public today Mr. Nugent told Mr. Cummlngs that the federal prohibition amendment Is woman's legislation, urged largely by women nnd effeminate men and foisted upon the American nation by a cowardly absentee Congress." "I believe woman suffrage the mother of nil 'isms' to be the grc??1 menace now threatening the stability of -American government and American institutions," the letter stated. "It Is necessarily one of the foundation stones of socialism, and adoption of the fed civil amendment will give socialism, of which the present Bolshevik agitntiou is but a violent manifestation, the greatest impetus aud encouragement."

Firemen say the blaze started in the garage of the model works and that several tanks of gasoline exploded, causing the flames to spread rapidly. For a time the large state printery, a privntelj -owned concern, where all state printing is done, was in danger, but It suffered only small loss. A high wind scattered sparks all over the district, starting a number of small fires that were quickly extinguished. Hundreds of Harrisburg families lost a week's wash In the laundry.

U , Few Troops Stand Between Vic torious Reds and Capital at Teheran DENIKINE'S BASE CAPTURED By (he Associated Press London, Jnn. 8. The situation in Russia Is about as bad as could be, from an antl-Bolshcvik point of view, according to British war office reports, nnd there nre few signs indicating nny Hkcly improvement. Two developments are especially menacing. In the first place, (Jcueral Denikine's urinv hn been cut in two by the Bolshevik push to the sea jot Azov, Taganrog, reccutly Denikine's headquurters, has been taken and the flanks of the nrniy have been thrust hack, leaving a large gap. In addition, the Bolshevik! claim the capture further east of the town of Krasnovodsk, an important railway terminus, on the Caspian sen. The cloture of this port, it is pointed out, creates the grave possibility that the Reds may overrun northern Persia and occupy Teheran, the capital, which probably would mean the establishment of Bolshevik rule iu Persia. The taking of Krasnovodsk permits the Reds not only to dominate n large part of the important Krasnovodsk Merv railroad, but gives them free ac cess to the Casphn. TIhto seems little Hion to prevent them from gaining con trol of the Caspian from the more or less Ineffective volunteer ileet. Once in possession of this sea there remains onry a small British force and the poorly organUcd Persian forces be tween the soviet forces nnd the occupa tion of Teheran and northern Persia, through which would exist the possi bility of their ruling the whole coun try. An official statement Issued by the soviet government at Moscow yesterday claims the capture of B000 prisoners forty miles so ithenst of Achinsk, on the Trans -Siberian Railway. Four thousand moro were token near Kern chug, forty-five miles east of Achinsk, Baku, with Its important oil sup- piles on the western coast of the Cas pian, also seems likely to fall Into Bol shevik hands. Its occupation would provide u base for further operations against the rear of Dcnlklnc s h.aid pressed right wiug. General Dcnikine appears to have suffered u serious disaster, for not only have the Reds severed all land commu nication between his left nnd right wings, but they have captured large quantities of war material, including much that wns sent to him by the Al lies. There Is little hope that, deprived of these supplies, the Denlkine forces can make an effective resistance against the overwhelming Red armies. TO REPATRIATE SLAV TROOPS IN U. S.
