CONVENTION ENDS WITH
SUFFRAGE FIGHT
[Continued From First I'age]
lion of elections. We reaffirm the his
toric position of our party in this re
gard and favor the continuance of
that wise provision of the Federal
Constitution which vests in the sev
eral States of the I'nion the power
to prescribe the qualifications of their
eiectors."
Sees Blow at State Rights
Besides Governor Ferguson, the re
port was signed by former Represen
tative Bartlett of eGorgia; James R.
>'ugent, of New Jersey and Stephen
B. Fleming, of Fort Wayne, Ind.
The burden of Governor Ferguson's
argument was that suffrage, being
purely a State's right question, the
•cording of the majority plank was a
pifsumptuous recommendation to the
Sti-tes on how to conduct their elec
torates.
Anti-suffrage delegates on the floor
plied the Governor with questions
which brought out. in the answers,
fresh arguments against the adminis
tration plank, and when Ferguson had
finished, the convention was in con
fusion and the tone of the uproar in
the delegate sections was indicative of
sympathy with the opponents of the
administration plank.
When Senator Stone took the speak
er's place to defend the plank, he was
bombarded with a running tire of
questions and argument from delegates
on the floor, which eventually ex
hausted the time allotted to him
without permitting him to speak ten
successive minutes.
Pittman Women's Champion
Antisuffrage delegates loudly chal
lenged his references to Ferguson's
statement with cries of "that's not
what he said," and "that's not fair."
Many delegates openly took the
position that the question was becom
ing much confused by the manner of
its presentation. Finally, Senator
Stone yelled to Senator Pittman of
Nevada, one of the suffrage cham
pions.
The crowd wanted to howl Pittman
down and cried "vote, vote."
"Yes, I know you want to vote,"
Pittman shouted at his opponents,
"you'd rather do anything else than
hear the truth."
"Are you men who are willing to
hear women denounced afraid to hear
a man say something in their behalf?
t want to appeal to you to give your
sisters and daughters and motners the
right to vote."
What's that got to do with this?"
chorused the delegates.
Finally, ignoring lesser outbreaks
and shouting above the din and con
fusion, Pittman managed to get
through with his speech.
Me declared that some persons
would let the ignorant immigrant
vote, but not intelligent women,
which brought a roar ot mixed cheers
r.pd hisses. Suffrage worKers in the
ba'.cony cheered wildly. Jeers and
hisses came from the deelgates and
alternates from several quarters of
the floor.
"Are you men. who are willing to
hear women denounced, afraid to hear
a man say anything in their behalf?"
demanded Pittman again.
"These gentlemen." Senator Pittman
continued, "may not believe their
mothers and sisters possess their
brainpower. Rut I also know the
condition in the sweatshops of New
York and Chicago, where girls have
no fathers or brothers to vote for
them, and if this Democratic conven
tior. does not vote to give them the
right it is not the progressive conven
tioi. people believe it to be."
The crowd was disposed to howl
Pittman down, and he got on with
difficulty. Finally Senator Williams,
in the chair, announced that the time
of interruptions on the floor would not
b.- taken from the speakers.
Growls and groans came from sev
eral delegations as Senator Pittman
concluded.
Tells of Wilson's Orders
Ir< an impassioned speech Senator
Walsh swept aside the smaller ques
tions which had been injected into the
fight, told the delegates that Presi
dent Wilson knew the plank was in
thf platform and considered it es
sential for party victory. . '
"Whatever your opinions may be."
he said, "we shell never be anything
but a discordant and divided party
unless we surrender some of our con
victions to 'he wisdom of a majority.
Here you are confronted, as one of
our famous loaders said, 'with a con
dition. not a theory.' The twelve
suffrage States represent ninety-one
' otes In the electoral college. Every
political party has made this declara
tion in some form or other. It becomes
a simple question of whether you will
incur the enmity of these women.
There is no possibility of losing a
single vote if you adopt this majority
plan, because every other party has
dene the same.
"I ask you," he cried, "if you're go
ing to put a resolution in here that's
n lie. You can't adopt this minority
renort without stultifying yourselves."
Senator Walsh then explained that
the President knew about the suffrage
plank nd added-;
"He believes it vital to his success
that it stay there. I ask you with all
thf fervor of my being who is there
who is wiser or more patriotic than
he?"
While the fight had been going on.
a thunderstorm burst, and when the
row on the convention floor was at its
height the storm reached its climax.
The booming of the thunder, mixed
with t'.ie roaring shouts on the floor
and the clatter caused by the rain on

the roof almost drowned out the
speakers. The storm cleared Just as
Senator Walsh finished speaking and
the closing words of his plea for the
administration plank swept a change
of sentiment over the crowd as wel
come. to the suffragists as the wave of
cool, refreshing air that poured down
into the Coliseum.
Vote Is Taken
Senator Stone demanded a roll call
vote on the minority resolution and
Chairman James so directed.
There was delay in the vote while
' the delegates caucused. Alabama's
23 to 1 vote against the minority pro
| posal was wildly cheered.
The Arkansas vote announced was
reported under the unit rule. Delegate
Tom Pole, of Arkansas. protested
that the rule could not be invoked.
! Representative Garner of Texas, ques
tioned the right to vote the State as a
unit. Chairman James said each
delegate could vote as he pleased un
less Cie State convention had in
structed the deelgation to adopt the
unit plan.
Arkansas was passed temporarily,
but later was voted as a unit against
i the minority report.
California's vote solidly against the
j amendment was riotously cheered.
Women in the convention and
among the spectators cheered and
waved banners as votes against the
I amendment were announced.
When Indiana's vote of 24 to fi for
the amendment was announced dele
; sates yelled. "Too bad. too bad,"
j amid faint applause.
Sharp, sibilant hisses greeted
5 Maryland's solid vote for the minority
plank.
1 A tremendous uproar followed the
recording of New York's ninety votes
in the negative. Chairman James was
frequently forced to rap for order
| during the call. As defeat of the
\ amendment became assured the crowd
lo.s f little of its enthusiasm.
! The Texas vote was hissed and
' hooted.
The Arkansas vote was taken last,
and Chairman James directed that the
t unit rule for the delegation was in
force, requiring all its votes against
| the resolution.
As defeat of the amendment by a
vote of 881'4 to 181% was announced
there was a demonstration led by the
women.
At the close of the roll call the
whole platform as written was adopt
ed, and {ifter disposing of some for
malities the convention adjourned sine
•die at 3:11 o'clock.
Women Denounce Suffrage
Plank as Unsatisfactory
Special In the Telegraph
| St. Louis, Mo., June 17. Leaders of
| both the Woman's Party and the Na
! tional American Woman Suffrage Asso
j oition last night united in denouncing
as inadequate the suffrage plank of the
Democratic platform and declared they
( would immediately resume their fight
j in Congress for national recognition.
"We shall return to Washington as
quickly as possible," Miss Ann Martin,
| chairman of the Woman's Party, said.
"We are going to give the Democratic
j Congress one more chance to make good
before adjournment. if it does not
see fit to pass a Constitutional amend
ment war will follow.
; "Some of the Democratic leaders pre
j tend to see a declaration for national
suffrage in the plank they have given
us. I do not so interpret it. But we
1 shall give Congressional loaders every
chance to read that interpretation into
it if they want to. I regard the Demo
cratic plank weaker than the Republi
can. The preamble of the latter, at
least, is regarded by some as giving na
tional endorsement to suffrage.
"Thus far we have not worked out
details of our plans for fighting the
Democratic party this Fall, for we have
hopes that the Congressional leaders
j will see the light. But if they continue
Ito oppose us. we will fierht them. And
jit will be a good fight, too. We have
( 4.000,000 women voters, $500,000 in
cash, a good cause and a determined
spirit. With all of these we cannot
help but win."
2,227 German Officers
With Turkish Army
1 Constantinople. June 17. (Corre
spondence of The Associated Press)
!—For the first time since the war be
!gar> the full facta are now made known
'as to the number, and nature df serv
ice, of the German officers and men
jin the Ottoman army. At the present
.time 360 officers, and 1867 noncom-
I missioned officers and men of German
i origin are serving with the Turkish
| army, navy and coast defense system.
: Of this number 253 officers and 517
' noncommissioned officers are attached
to the mobile army and interior fortifi
cations; while 107 officers, and 1350
noncommissioned officers and men
serve in the Ottoman navy and the
cost batteries.
Nearly all the German officers and
I men in the Ottoman army reached
Turkey early in 1915, by way of
Rumania and Bulgaria, while the Ger
| mar members of the Ottoman navy
! come largely from the German battle
! cruiser Goeben, and the small cruiser
, f'.reslau, and from German merchant
! vessels Interned at Constantinople
when the war broke out. Some of
them came to Turkey over the Balkan
route during 1915 -and during the
present year.
All of them have been 'loaned" to
j the Turkish government, that is to
1 say while they actually enter the
[military service of the Sultan they
never lose their German citizenship
or divert themselves of the obligation
jto serln the German army.
FRESHETS CAUSE LOSS
OF LIFE AND MONEY
[Continued Prom First Page]
River Expected to Go to
18 Feet; West Branch and
Juniata Are Out of Banks
Flood conditions unequaled for this
month since the record high water
] mark of 1889 exist along the West and
Juniata branches of the Susquehanna
river, according to reports received by
the United States Weather Bureau and
the State Water Supply Commission.
The river is rapidly rising at the
lower reaches of these branches and
the main river at this point may pass
the flood stage to-night, According to
Water Supply Commission officials.
Property loss and crop loss is ex
pected to be the greatest ever caused
since 1889 by a freshet at this time of
year, the general rains of the last few
days causing rises in every stream in
i the state.
Cattle caught in pastures by rapid
rises were drowned fences, dams and
trees torn away and washed down
stream, and heavy landslides caused
by the heavy rains.
The upper North and West Juniata
branches are expected to recede this
afternoon and to-night, while the
lower North and West branches and
the main river will rise steadily until
later to-morrow. According to E. R.
Demain, in the local Weather Bureau
office, the river will probably reach a
stage of lfi.s feet when it crests, but
wire trouble delayed several impor
tant reports, and Mr. Demain stated
that an exact estima'e would be almost
impossible. The following stages are
expected as cresting points: Towanda,
13 feet: Wilkes-Barre, 19: Williams
port., 18: Sellnsgrove, 13. The North
hranch will cause the river to main
tain a high stage, it is believed, but
little trouble has bc-tr. reported along
this reach of watershed.
Every effort is being made by the
Robert Grayce Construction Company,
erecting the new Cumberland Valley
Railroad bridge, to anchor all of the
network which has been erected across
the river for transporting the concrete
and other materials used in finishing
the work. These supports will prob
ably be inundated early to-morrow,
but the extent of damage which may
result is doubtful. The "front steps"
of the city were covered before noon,
the water going over the wall.
Cloudburst Reported
A report of a "cloudburst" at Re
novo, received earl; to-day by the
State Water Supply Commission, has
not been confirmed at noon to-day
owing to a break in eomnrunications
with that place, and the stage of the
river at that point when received will
be a big aid in forming an exact esti
mate of the height of the water at
this point.
At Mount Holly Springs the heavy
rains sent the creek over its banks
and caused a break in the dam at that
place. Employes of the park watched
the break during the night and many
of the people prepared to leave their
homes at once. The dam at Laurel Is
also being watched with anxiety, as
the quick rise in the stream may take
it away.
Warn Town of Flood
R. H. Hosmer. flood forecaster in
the State Water Supply Commission,
this morning wired to many points
along the branches warning the towns
of high stages, as follows: Wilkes-
Rarre, 21 feet; Danville, 17; Newport,
25. and Towanda. 14.
Creeks in Dauphin and nearby coun
ties overflowed their banks in many
places, flooding large sections of farm
land and damaging crops and causing
big losses in property. At some places
the water reached stages unequaled In
recent years.
According to records In the local
Weather Bureau office, there were
only four clear days this month, three
partly cloudy and eight cloudy. A
total of 3 feet 3 Inches of rain fell
on twelve of the first sixteen days and
the excess of rain over the normal
since June 1 is almost 15 inches.
Juniata Suffers Heavily
Huntingdon, Pa.. June 17. Not
since the devastating flood of 1889 has
tl>e Juniata Yalley sustained such ma
terial property loss as the present
widespread sweep of the Juniata river
and Raystown branch are mlkking.
Three days of incessant rainfall has
raised the former stream sixteen feet
and the latter eighteen feet, with both
still rising. All contiguous lands are
overflowed, with accompanying de
struction of crops, outbuildings and
many cattle.
The residents of Birmingham and
1 Spruce Creek, west of here, sought
' shelter and safety during the night on
] the hills and in the Pennsylvania Rall
[ road Company's station huildings.
Many cattle, caught In pastures by the
I quick rising stream, were drowned.
Heavy slides have occurred on the
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, but
i fortunately leading to no serious re
sults.
South Huntingdon is inundated to a
depth of seven feet, the sewage system
1 deranged and much household prop
i erty ruined. The farmers on the Rays
! town branch have suffered heavily in
|1 he destruction of outlying crops,
1 fences and in the loss of stock.
Fireman Killed, Engineer
Fatally Injured in Wreck
Caused by Bridge Washout
Special to the Telegraph
Port Royal, Pa., June 17.—Harry
Kauffman. aged 30 years, fireman of
! Waterloo, Pa., was killed and A. O.
Chilcotte. aged 50 years, engineer, of
Blairs Mills, was fatally Injured
in a wreck on the Tuscarora Valley
railroad this morning, caused by the
washing out of an abutment of a
bridge over Tuscarora creek near
East Waterford. nineteen miles south
west 6f here. This railroad is a nar
row gauge, and the train was made
up of an engine, several freight and
two passenger cars.
It is not known positively whether
any passengers were injured. One of
the abutment* of the bridge was com
pletely washed out. When the engine
hit the bridge It collapsedf the loco
motive going into the creek. Three
cars next to the engine were piled up.
The fireman was buried under the
engine and killed instantly.
Engineer Chilcotte was caught when
the engine toppled over and pinned
fast in the wreckage. He was sent
to the hospital at Lewistown, where
it Is said his injuries will prove fatal.
He has a fractured skull and is hurt
internally.
Express Struck by Slide
Near Spruce Creek Tunnel;
Engine and Car Derailed
Express train No. 18. due in Harris
burg last night at 11:20, running an
hour late, was struck by a landslide
one mile east of Spruce Creek tunnel,
on the middle division, about 21 miles
this side of Aitoona. Ten tons of stone
and dirt tumbled down while the train
was passing, throwing the engine and
one ear off the tracks. No person was
injured, due to the fact that the engi
neer was moving cautiously, hut the
passengers received a slight shaking
up.
With the exceptions of the engineer
and fireman, train No. 18 was in
charge of a Harrisburg crew. David
Miller, engineer,, and J. J. McKinstrey,
fireman, were on engine No. 732,
1 which was hauling nine cars. The
[ heavy rain of yesterday had washed
the banks down at several other
joints and Engineer Miller was on the
