SUFFRAGISTS GAIN ANOTHER RECRUIT Representative Who Votod Against Resolution Last Weok Changes Sides OUTLOOK BRIGHT IN SENATE Hu a Staff Correspondent Dover, Del.. April 7. Slowly 'but surely the suffragists here are beating down the harriers which block the way to ratification of the suffrage amend ment. Representative Jester, of Milford, Is the latest accession to the ranks of the suffrage advocates in the House. He promised today to vote for ratification. His Mimiort follows quickly on the heels of the declaration of Representative S. J. Warrington, of the Harbeton dis trict, who came out for suffrage yes terday. Mr. Jester was among thoo who voted against the ratification resolution last Thursday, when the measure was defeated by a vote of '2'2 to I), with one Hbsentce and three members not voting. It was known at that time, however, that the real strength of the suffragists was -0 to in. The acquisition of Jes ter now makes the score 10 to 10, with Bcvcral tunings to pla.i . Chances for the suffragists arc also considerably brightened by the fact thnt the Senate, where only one vote Is lack ing for suffrage, has not jet gone to bat. There are Indications that the Walker resolution, advocating ratifica tion of the suffrage amendment, will be Irought up in th Scnntc this after noon. Those favoring the resolution arc nwnltlne the arrival of I. D. Short. president pro tern of the Senate. It Is believed he may influence the balance of power required to put the resolution across favorably. If passed in the Senate It would be messaged immediately to the House, but no action would be taken there to day. Humors thnt the Scunte may act reached the camp of the autis, and sev eral of them, with roses redder than ever, took seats in the rear of the Senate and watched the proceedings eagerly.

Under the rules of the House today is the last day to otc for reconsideration of the ratification resolution defeated last Thursday. While the antis would like to kill the measure by defeating re consideration in the House, it is ap parent they now fear to do this on ac count of the increasing strength of the suffragist forces. The state-wide campaign work of suffragists Is beginning to bring grati fying results for tluir foices. Among those prc-cnt in the Senate and House were many fanners' wives and other women from various sectious of the state. It wns noticed thnt they car ried circulars and petitions which had been distributed by the suffragist workers. Considerable comment was nlso caused by the fact that ninny of the women wore the yellow daffodil, the badge of the suffragists. Grounds for Optimism Failure of the Sussex county Repub lican committee to tnke nny action on the suffrage question nnd the promise of several members of the House to sup port the ratification resolution, Mioulil I their aid be needed arc nmong the in the suffrage grounds of optimism , camp. Incidentally, news that I'nited States ."Senator n mmniiM. of Xnrt rnm mi formerly nn mowed foe of ratification has urged his state to beat out Drla ware and thus be the thirty-sixth com nionwcalth to ratify the amendment, has stirred the suffragists here to greater effort than ever. Vigorous w.orkcrs for the cause point ed ruit to several members of the House this morning that they would be re sponsible for the blam which will come to the Republican party for los ing this golden opportunity to put Del aware owr for suffrage. Opponents Weaken Some of the members of the House opposed to ratification. It Is snid. are beginning to realize the part they nre plnIng in blocking the suffrage land slide. It is known thnt several are weakening.

It was hinted today that there may be a further statement from A. I. d'u tracks of nny lingering obstacles to ratification. Failure of the antlmembers of the House to renew their attempt to re consider the ratification resolution, suf fragists say, is nn Indication of weak ness and they assert that pvery day's delay is making the cause of the antis weaker.

Municipalities Accprding to Population 1 Sought by Revisionists ASK STATE CONTROL BODY Harrlsntirg, April 7. Homo rulo for municipalities was advocated today by Clinton Rogers Woodruff, civil servico commissioner In Philadelphia, nt the public hearing before the commission on constitutional amendment nnd revision. Commissioner Woodruff urged classi fication of municipalities nccordtng to population nnd permission for cities to ncccpt the form of government they wish through a vote of tho electors. "Un der his plan the voters of a city could adopt a commission form of government or vote to Install n city manager. Similar proposals submitted to the commissions nt its sessions were re--Jected. "The trouble in this country." said Mr. Woodruff in explaining his plan, "is that we hnve not given the people sufficient interest in local government to develop the instinct for Belt-govern ment." Commissioner Woodruff centered more of his argument on government of third class cities. He said tho Clark act, under which these cities now opernto, wns a great help, but adoption of his proposal weuld give greater advantages. A statewide agency to hove tho nine jurisdiction over municlpnl bodies and finance as the Public Service Commis sion had over public utilities was sug gested by Robert J.

He declared that one of the greatest difficulties facing cities was the ques tion of borrowing. Many complica tions, be said, have arisen in the coun try over the question of tiluking fund and borrowing capacity because of the technicalities surrounding them. Mr. Patterson asked the commission to create n special committee to study thoroughly "the much-Involved ques tion" of municipal finance. $132,250 FOR SWARTHM0RE Neto York Section Lead6 In Cam- palgn With $54,000 Contributions to the mllllon-dollnr en dowment fund for Swarthmore College were announced today as ?irti!,2."!0 at a luncheon of the Pennsylvania section at the Rellevuc-Stratford.

Admiral Hugh Rodmun, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet, told the Senate Investigating committee today thnt Rear Admiral SIms'B letter to Secretary Daniels criti cizing the navy's part in the war was "very indiscreet." , , "Admiral HimB'a indiscretions.' I;r Wnrh of ronfideneo in matclne public an Intlmnto and confidential conversa '-.-". . . - . . i tion which should have been ucki fcc- cret." The witness referred to Slms's testi- mnnv llinr A.Imlrnl Ttenson. fOrmcr chief of naval operations, told him prior to his departure lor London not o let the Rrltish pull the wool over your eves: we would ns soon ngnt mem us the Germans." "Had Admiral Slms's letter been less Indiscreet," Admiral Rodman said, "had he omitted reference to conversa tions, which, ns I havo said, ho should havo held secret and confidential, had it been couched In moderate terniB, such as arc usually used In official corres pondence, had It been less antagonistic It would, no doubt, have followed the usual course of such communications, received due consideration by the proper authori ties and doubtless some good would have come from it. "Ills mention and the subsequent publication of a certain admonition which ho states he received prior to his departure for London no doubt has hnd its effect upon the cordlnl re lations which heretofore existed between us and one of our closest allies. In every expression of opinion which I have heard concerning It, both in nnd out of the navy, it has received the deepest censure." Declaring that he appeared entirely nt his own request to "defend the good nnmo of the navy," Admiral Rodman, who commanded the American battle ship squadron with the Rritlsh grand fleet during the war, told the committee "thnt the American nnvy did Its full share most efficiently nnd splendidly in helping to bring the war ugninst the Huns to a successful and victorious con clusion," ' PRESBYTERY FINISHES WORK Elects Commissioner!) and Elders to General Assembly The Tresbytcry of the Presbyterian Church in this city closed its two-day meeting yesterday after electing the commissioners and elders to the geueral assembly, which Is to be held In this city beginning .May 20, The staudlng committees for the coming year were elected.
