This movement is under the leader- ship of the National Women's Party of the, United States. Mrs. Clarence E.

Stage Demonstration. On Saturday the leading Cuban fem- inists staged the first outdoor demon- stration in the history of Cuba as a preliminary to the presenation of the demands to the Congress. At the ple- nary session the women will ask the congress to consider their demands and | blaze the trail toward their goal of ety W8 s etrecr e sghed by ai effect 1 American republics. Demands for the equality of women first appeared at the Fifth Congress held at Santiago, Chile, five years ago, when the Guatemalan and Costa Rican delegations introduced an equal rights proposal, causing no little surprise to the rest of the Latin American delega- | tons, who represented countries which still are decidedly men's countries, in which women’s place still is in the home. At Santiago, the women further de- manded places on delegations to fu- ture congresses, which the delegations gallantly and hurriedly promised, but which they apparently forgot or ignored at the present congress, for no woman was named on any delegation. Woman Lawyers Ald. Woman lawyers have been peering over the statute books of all Latin American countries, seeking means of making ‘a start toward codifying private international law so as to give equal rights to women, but are finding trouble overcoming statutes, which still hold that women cannot hold private property, with certain exceptions, ex- cept in the United States, The women_have been advised that SIX DIE AS BLAST WRECKS BUILDING Mystery Shrouds Explosion That Rocked New England Cities. 8till Charge Rejected.

Commends President. The resolution which he offered to- »xcept for one new clause. Nothing came of the resolution then. It was lost in the rush of business during the short session and never came up for consider- ation. The new clause in the resolution declares that the President is to be “commended for the observance” of the two-term or anti-third term tradition. Senator La Follette takes the Presi- dent’s announcement of August 2, in the Black Hills, that he did not choose to run for President, and his later state- ment to the Republican national mittee, as eliminating him from the presidential race. The Wisconsin Sena- tor proposes to commend the President for his stand in the resolution, and he figures that administration Senators grace. The introduction of the resolution promises to bring the attitude of the President toward the presidential nom- ination into the Senate debate. It promises, t00, to put the Senators on record. for Mr. La Follette confidently expects to bring the resolution to a vote. There is no short session to close March 4. He might even succeed in having the resolution made the unfin- ished business of the Senate, depending, { of course, upon the attitude of the Dem- | {ocrats. The Democrats and the Pro- gressive Republican group have been operating together with some effect this session. ‘Draft Talk Forces Move. Senator La Follette, who had planned to introduce and press his resolution when Congress met the first of Decem- ber, gave over that idea when it ap- peared that President Coolidge had con- vinced Republican leaders he was out of the race. But the recent demand, voiced not only in New York but else- where, that the President be “drafted™” d the resolution.
