"G. 0. P. TREASURER?
Ex-Poslmasler General Has
Talk With Hughes; Sees
Suffragists
Special to the Telegraph
New York, July 7.—Reports that
John Wanamaker had been asked to
accept the appointment of treasurer
to the Republican National Commit
tee gained persistent circulation
around the Astor Hotel, following a
conference between the New York-
Philadelphia merchant aftd Charles
Evans Hughes, Republican nfcminee
lor President, and William R. Willcox,
the party's campaign manager. When
Mr. Wanamaker was asked about the
matter he said:
"I have been for three-quarters of
an hour with Mr. Hughes and I have
also been conferring with Mr. Willcox.
Our interviews have not been con
cluded:"
"But is it true," some one persisted,
"that you are to be treasurer for the
Republican National Committee?"
Mr. Wanamaker hesitated, and then
said:
"In view of the fact that my inter
views are not finished, perhaps I had
better not speak of that just now."
While no one else In authority
would discuss the matter for publica
tion, the report continued to be the
chief topic of conversation about the
nominee's headquarters. Mr. Wana
maker has been a life-long Repub
lican and served his country during
the Harrison administration as Post
master General.
It was "Ladies' Day" in the Repub
lican National Headquarters. Equal
suffrage and antisuffrage in the per
sons of their chosen sponsors both
■successfully corralled Mr. Hughes and
had he been a cotillion leader instead
of the Presidential nominee he could
hardly have been called upon to de-

vote greater proportion of his short
day to the demands of the progressive
sex.
Suffragists See Hughes
One delegation of women who had
come by appointment held Mr.
Hughes' attention so successfully that
such shining lights as George W. Per
kins, late Secretary of the Treasury to
the Bull Moose party; R. Boss Apple
ton, B. H. Elder, former Progressive
leader of Brooklyn, and George B.
Cortelyou, erstwhile Secretary of the
Treasury, were kept cooling their heels
In an anteroom and it began to look
doubtful whether Mr. Hughes could
rush through his calling list in time
to make the 4:05 train back to his
summer retreat in Bridgehampton,
L. I. He did make it, however, though
some of his admirers had to be con
tent with promises of longer inter
views the next time he comes to the
city, which will be probably next Wed
nesday.
In the morning came Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt, Mrs. Norman DeR.
Whitehouse and Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw, spokeswomen for the suffragists
who were closeted, with the nominee
for' nearly an hour. After they had
left the conference room Mrs. Catt
pronounced the interview "a very sat
isfactory one."
j "Was it more satisfactory than the
! assurance the women have received
! from the Democratic party?" she was
asked.
"Yes, it was very much more favor
able," she replied.
Mr. Hughes had as his guest during
his luncheon hour in the hotel.
George W. Perkins, who is expected
to head the delegation of Progressive
leaders who are to he named as mem
bers of the Republican Campaign
Committee. He and Mr. Perkins con
versed for more than an hour, and
when Mr. Hughes re-entered his con
ference apartments on the first floor
he found awaiting him a delegation
of antisuffrage women, not a whit less
militant than their predecessors.
These included Mrs. Arthur H. Dodge,
president of the National Association
Opposed to Women Suffrage; Mrs.
Horace Brock, president of the Penn
sylvania State branch of the same or
ganization: Miss Alice Hill Chittenden,
president of the New York State As
sociation: Mrs. E. Yarde Breese, presi
dent of the New Jersey branch: Mrs.
Daniel A. Markham, president of the
Connecticut Association, and Mrs. Ed
ward Ford, chairman of the organiza
tion committee of the Massachusetts
State branch.
It was half an hour before Mr.
Hughes' train time when the "antis"
emerged. They were wreathed in
smiles. When Mrs. Dbdge was in
formed that the suffragist advocates
had characterized their talk with Mr.
Hughes as "satisfactory," she re
torted, "Ours was delicious; Mr.
Hughes is indeed the man of the
hour."
ORPET CASE RESTS
Waukeegan, Ills., July 7. The de

The prosecution wanted Orpet recalled

one day of each week to be known as
Dollar Day Monday, at which time the
dollar is given additional purchasing
power.
Many merchants will display some
unusual offerings—some declare they
will offer goods for one dollar on Dol
lar Day Monday that ordinarily sell for
as much as two and three dollars.
Dollar Day has become an institu

exceptional bargains for Dollar Day

to submit the question to the rep
resentatives ,of practically all of the
Keystone State's hunters and fisher
men.
The proposed restriction of the game
bird season will include the period in
which ruffled grouse, quail and wild
turkeys may be hunted.
Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, the secretary,
submitted a supplemental report in
which he discussed the ravages of
peach and apple-orchards in Franklin
and Adams counties by deer. The
grain fields are frequently damaged,
too, and the secretary declared that
the only remedy will be to permit
farmers to protect their property and
the deer at. the same time, by chasing
the animals from their farms by
means of scare-crows, dugs on chains,
or with fine bird-shot fir salt —via the
barrels of a shotgun.
