Women Won't Control
"Now that tl.e fight is over, nnd
the 'antis' know they are beaten, we
suffragists feel they will vote and co
operate with us in making the influence
of woman felt in politics," suid Mrs.
Martin.
"It was the ntiti-Miffnigists that
were keeping u from the ote, not the
men.
"I personally don't b.'lieve that

"We women in Pennsylvania are

Harding for President, and we will i
start in all over the state of I'ennsvl-
vanla, for we are organized with chair
men In every county, ns soon as the

In Pennsylvania we have some mighty
fine feminine spenkers, and those who

lowed to, they are fur in the minority "

officials until it is promuluutcil in

As September 1 is the Inst day nn
which n voter can be assessed, speed is
necessary or some of the women will be

nlderable anxiety is indicated in many
I Inquiries being received by the State
i Department from count officials re
garding the procedure to follow.
1 In counties where no provisions have
been made for assessing nml enrolling
$ the women, the authorities are faced by
a huge task. They are getting no con
solation from the State Department,
which answers all Inquiries by quoting
the opinion of the attorney general,

The suddencss of the tragedy nt the
Morgan street crossing did not give pas
seugers of the fntal motorbtis or wit
nesses time to realize just bow It hap
pened. Tho bus was bound from the Federal
Street Ferry nt Camden to Yorksblp
Village and was filled to capacity with
passengers. It has been doing n big
jitney business for several months.
Everything went all right until thc
vehicle reached thc Morgan street
crossing which i five miles below the
Federal street ferry. At the crossing
are tracks of the West Jersey aud Sea
shore Railroad and also a single track
over which trains of the Orenloch
branch run
Thc crossing hns been the scene of
numerous accidents nnd only two weeks
ago Mayor Fills criticized safety appli
ances maintained there, following three
fatnl accidents
Tn one of these accidents a woman
was instantly killed nnd another" time
two men were killed in a collision be
tween ft trnin and their motortruck.
The watchman standing at the Mor
gan street crossing waved the fated
vehicle back to permit a southbound
passenger train to pass. There arc
three tracks ot thc crossing, the middle
one reserved for express, trains and
separated from the others by u low
wooden fence. After tho southbound
train passed by the driver of the bus
started his mncblnc. Tlie watchman
Insists he waved frantically nnd shouted
to "go back "
The rumbling of the southbound trnlu
as It swept past may hnve drowned out
the noise of the oncoming Vxpress, wit
nesses say, nnd caused the driver to go
ahead.
"With u crash that was heard for
blocks, the electric express tore the bus
to pieces. Some of the victims nnd
fragments of the bus were carried more
than 301) feet, leaving n train of
wounded strewn nlong the sides of the
track.
The passengers in the bus were
hurled across the track nnd found in
a heap ou the southbound station plat
form. s

bus wns nit off and was found thirty
feet nwa from where he was picked up,

A child carried by one of the women
in the bus was found 100 feet from the
crossing, lying against the fence which
separated the railroad tracks.
The forward portion of the bus con
taining the engine wns thrown fifty feet
lo one side of the crossing nnd de-
i mnlislied a portion of tho station plat-
form
A panic prevailed aboard the express

nnd the moans nnd cries' of the wound

New York, Aug, 2.1. The few de
vout members of the slender congre
gation who stayed to prayer after eve
ning services had concluded In old St.
Pnnl'u Church nt Vesey street and
Rrondwny last night were startled to
perceive a man In ministerial garb,
carrying on umbrella and a sultcnse.
hasten up thc center rtisle, straw hat in
hand, nnd enter tho pew In which
Oeorgo Washington wns wont to Bit nnd
kneel.
The clergyman mopped his brow, then
knelt devoutly and began to pray aloud.
Several women and men In other pews
looked tip in alarm, then listened to the
low -toned prayer.
"O Heavenly Father I" exclaimed the
kneeling minister, "bo my guide and
assistance in this hour of stress. Tell
me If it be true that I have made In
famous the crossing over tho Delnwnre
which our great patriot, tho Father of
Ills uountrv. mate famous. Tell me
and Insnlre me In the work. If It Is ins
duty to condemn those who offend the
( fair name of womanhood and make It n
byword "by their actions nt the place
. which Thou has Intrusted to my care
as one of Thy servants."
Tho remainder of the clergyman's
prayer wns uttcTCd in silence. 1'res
' ently he arose nnd left thc church, bow
ing his bead as he stooped beneath thc
crossed flags that decorated tho nocicnt
pew.
Tells Reason for Visit to St. Paul's
A reporter who had witnessed the in
cident asked the clergyman what was
thc occasion of his vlt to St. Paul's.
Pausing again to cool his forehead with
a large handkerchief, he replied :
"I thought I had escaped newspaper
men, but thoy seem to follow me, even
Into church. Since you hnve found me,
1 will tell you who I am. That mny
explain the rest. My name is Freder
ick Knpfman. I,nm the pastor of tiie
Tltiisvillc Mcthottist Church, nt Tltus
vllle, near Trenton, N. J., nnd I am
now on my way to my sister's home In
Ilrooklyn, having been advised by my
physician to take a rest. The people of
Titusville have nlmost broken down my
health by their attitude toward my nt-
tempt to reform the immoral conditions
thut infest thc summer bnthing colony
nt Washington's Crossing on thc Dela
ware." The clergyman went on to tellho
he had been nlmost mobbed by Tren
ton citizens Saturday night when be
arrived there from New York on his
way to his church nt Titusville. He
bnd sought police protection, lie ex
plained, nnd was then turned over to
Sheriff Rees, who agreed to get him
safely to thc church for his Sundny
sermon nnd back ngnin.
He delivered his .sermon, nnd by nil
accounts the Tltusvillo Methodist con
gregation nnd some of the Washing
ton Crossing colonists who were on
hand to hear it, "got nn cirful." The
clergyman denounced conditions in fnr
clearer nnd more explicit terms thnn he
used n week ago In his complaint to the
villnge trustees nnd to tho Hopewell
. township committee.
The minister stood at the chancel
rail of his little church and showed
by actunl measurement how much or
little some of the girls who frequent
the bench at Washington's Crossing
wear. And he told how ho had ob
served men nt night sneaking from
bungalow to bungalow, evidently bent
ou no moral purpose, and avoiding the
lights that might betray their identities.
The worst of It nil is, In the min
ister's opinion, that most of these young
girls belong to good families, are weli
educated nnd brought up, nnd hnve
social standing. Their example is u
prest. tlnneer to the community of re
spectable and self-respecting working
girls of Titusville and Trenton who go
to tho Washington Crossing Reach for
pleasure and innocent amusement Mind
Pot to be shown, the minister says,
"how for the devil can go when he has
n woman in tow."

period of tho year for them, sny thc
fourth of the "Rig Six" banner Sab-

perfectly orderly, free-spending
multitude, thut put more emphasis upon
comfort than ittylc In the main, ready
to pay for anything that presented nn
opportunity for novelty. A philosoph
ical Boardwalk mendicant, with n bat
tered violin, who swung from Jazz to
hymns on the spur of tho moment, drew
n crowd that filled his tin cup with
smull change because prayer-meeting
melodies ure seldom heard on the Hoard
walk in midsummer.
