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

."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

It was hinted today that there may

consider the ratification resolution, suf
fragists say, is nn Indication of weak

WOODRUFF URGES SIS INDISCREET,
CITY HOI RULE DECLARES RODIN
Classification of. 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. Patterson, of the
Philadelphia Rureau of Municipal Re
search. Mr. Patterson nnd Frederick P.
Gruenberg, director of the bureau, spoke
ut the public hearing before the com
mission on the proposed state budget
and municipal finance.
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

Pacific Fleet's Commander Raps
Admiral's "Broach" In Stir-
ring Up Britons
DID. HARM, SENATORS HEAR
By the Associated Trw
Washington, April 7. 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," '
