Opposing Forces Fill Galleries
as Representatives Debate
Amendment
ANTIS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Many of the Women Carried
Their Knitting and Sewing
Into House
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C.. Jan. 12. The
country-wiae question for woman suff
rage to-day reached a climax in the
consideration in the House of Repre
sentatives of an amendment to the
federal constitution providing "votes
for women." Under a special rule
brought in by Representative Henry,
opportunity to discuss and vote on the
Mondell resolution, providing an
amendment for women suffrage, was
assured.
The Mondell resolution would sub
mit to the States for their approval an
amendment to the constitution insert
ing a new article as follows:
"The right of citizens of the United
States to \ote shall not be denied or
abridged by the Vnlted States or by
a State on accdunt of sex.
"Congress shall have |Hiwer. by ap
propriate legislation, to enforce the
provision* of this article."
All the feminine forces that have
taken part in the suffrage campaign
were in eVidence at the Capitol to
day. The officers of the National
American Woman's Suffrage Assocla-j
tion and kinffred organizations and the'
officers of tne National Association op- j
posed to woman suffrage were assign-|
ed places in the galleries where pro
visions had been made for record-j
breaking crowds.
"Antls" Enthusiastic
The antisuffragists were enthusiastic
in their predictions that the attempt
to secure suffrage for women through
federal means would fall.
A driving rainstorm failed to dis
courage a record-breaking crowd. At
x o'clock this morning the first arri
vals went into the Tlouse galleries to
nvait the beginning of the debate. An
hour before the session opened practi
rally all the unreserved seats for wo-
Jtaen were filled with suffragists and
•antisuffragists. When the women I
doffed their walerproof coats the pur-j
pie and yellow banners and sashes of j
the suffragists filled the galleries with |
a wave of colors. A whole block of
reserved seats was occupied by wo-i
men wearing the broad satin ribbons. I
Many brought their knitting and 1
needlework.
The gallery to the left of Speaker
«'lark's desk was occupied by the suff
ragists. On the right the antiKiiffr;'-;
gists, each wearing a red rose, knitted ;
and sewed as they waited. Separating
the hostile camps was the men's gal
lery.

Figuratively Speaking of Course!
| Of Course! Couldn't Find
Constable
TOBACCO PLACATES THE JURY
Judge Finally Dismisses 12 Good
Men and True and Calls
Another Case
The Daw, figuratively speaking, had
to go back into No. 1 courtroom and
sit down In the course of the trial of
John Burns, alias Arthur Parker, on
a charge of larceny in January crimi
nal sessions this morning, because
Constable A. P. Baumgardner couldn't
be found.
Burns, alias Parker, was accused by
Robert Geary of stealing some clothes.
Geary followed the supposed thief to
the station nnd got a sudden jolt as
to the extent of Burns' depredations;
not only were a lot of Geary's clothes
missing, but Geary's wife Annie and
the five little Gearys were all lined
up on the platform with Burns —wait-
ing to be taken along with the de
parting Burns.
All this was adduced before Judge
McCarrell this morning until counsel
for Burns wanted to know how the
police officers ascertained where and
with whom Burns was going to leave
the city. Officer Baumgardner, who
helped make the arrest couldn't be
found. For a few minutes the Law
as represented by court and jury sat
back and waited; I hen the jury por
tion of the law took a chew of to
bacco and the court sighed restlessly.
No attachment could be asked for be
cause the original subpena as a wit
ness had been served by Baumgard
ner himself —and Baumgardner
couldn't be found. Finally the court
dismissed the jury and sent It back
to the big courtroom and called an
other case.

ITALY AND RUMANIA ON
VERGE OF ENTERING WAR;
GERMAN SHIP DAMAGED
Disquiet in Balkans Is Spreading Rapidly and in Albania,
Italy May Have to Resort to Force of Arms; Attempt
of Russians to Cross Nida Repulsed by Austrians;]
Minor Victory Over Turks Claimed in Petrograd
London. Jan. 12, 2.45 P. M.—The
German cruiser Bremen has arrived at ,
Wilhelin.shaven badly damaged by a I
mine, according to a dispatch received !
by the Evening Star from Petrograil.
The Bremen is a small cruiser, built |
ten years ago. She is 341 feet long, I
has a normal displacement or 3,250 !
tons ami a complement l'o 286 men.
She is armed with ten 1.1 -inch guns
nnd (en I-pounders anil Is equipped
with two submerged 17.7-incli tor|>cdo j
tn lies.
Al the time of the occupation of
Vera Cruz by American marines the l
Bremen was stationed in Mexican 1
waters.
In view of the predicted entrance
into the war of Rumania and perhaps
Italy, unusual interest attaches to dis
patches indicating that disquiet in the
Balkans is spreading. Italy may be
called upon soon to resort to force of
arms in Albania. The insurgents are
said to he bringing up guns to direct
against Durazzd, the port recently oc
cupied by Italian forces. Servia's as
pirations have expanded since her vic
tory over the Austrian army and ac
cording to a Rome dispatch she now
insists that, in the event of victory for
the allies, she must receive Bosnia,
Herzegovina and Daimatia. Italy has
sent troops to the Italian Islands in
the Aegean Archipelago, which she is
fortifying. Rumania is to begin the
mobilization of her army late, this
month.
Although the Austria-German forces
in Poland apparently have given up
for the time the offensive movement,
lighting of a local character continues.
Vienna reports that an attempt of the
Russians to cross the lower Nida, in
Southern Poland, was repulsed. The
attack apparently means that the Rus
sians have determined on another
move on Cracow, the Galician strong
hold.
Army headquarters at Petrograd
states that German attacks on the
Russian positions along the Vistula
were beaten back. A minor victory
I over the Turks in the Caucasus also
is announced.

veloped in France and Alsace are be
ing carried on vigorously, but without
marked advantage for either side. oC
greatest immediate consequences is tho
lighting near Perthes, which involves
possession of important railroads and
probably a considerable section of the
fortified battle line. In this district
the French attempted further attacks
but were beaten back with heavy loss
es, the German official statement to
day asserts.
Near Soissons in the Aisne country,
the French statement says, German
attempts to capture lost positions wera
repulsed and more trenches were seiz
ed by the allies.
In the Argonne, where the fighting
has been more continuous and stub
born since the early weeks of the war
than almost anywhere else, the Ger
mans are on the offensive, and claim to
have captured a French vantage point.
French Attack Defeated
The fourth battle in Alsace, is ICSM
active than was the case before tlio
reinforced Germans checked tho
Franch advance. The Berlin was of
fice asserts that a French attack south
of Sennheim was defeated and that tha
attackers suffered severe losses.
Desultory lighting continues in Po
land and the German statement tells
of slow progress on the part of tha
army which is attempting to advance
on Warsaw from the west.
According to a Petrograd dispatch,
the small German cruiser Bremen has
been damaged badly by striking a
mine.
Official denial is made In Petrograd
of the report that Grand Duke Alex
ander Mlchaelovitch, brother-in-law oC
Emperor Nicholas, was killed in fight
