There 631 of them, representing every state in the Unionp, and assigned one to ch senator and representative, pre- nted ‘to the members of .congress titigns asking the passage of the ristow-Mondell resolution calling or a federal constitutional amend- mment enfranchising women, Immense crowds viewed the proces- ‘sion, along the route. When the cap- ital was reached the bands were massed on the plaza before the east front, where they played the ‘“March of the Women,” composed by Dr. Ethel Smyth of England, ., accom- panying a chorus of 1,000 women, wearing robes of white, with green stoles and fillets of green on their heads. 5,000 Demonstrators Present. Trains arriving in the capital dur- ing the forenoon swelled the army of suffragiéts who have been gather- ing here ddring the week, until long before noon, it was estimated there were more than 5,000 demonstrators here, and it would be the greatest suffrage dem- onstration Washington has ever seen. Many of the delegations brought their fife and drum corps and marching squadrons of girls. Among the early arrivals was the Maryland delegation of 400, led by Mrs. Donold R. Hook- sr and Mrs. George §. Latimer, known as “The little general.” Police Take Precautions, Unusual precautions had been tak- en by the police to prevent a repeti- tlon of scenes of disorder which marked last vea parade. Rein- forcements of office crowds along streets in the route of the parade were at their posts early in the day. At the capitol, awaiting the coming rchers were Senators Thom- Owen, Chamberlain, ter, Sterling, Gallinger, Ken- Yon, Sutherland, 'Jones and Thomp- +and Representat Mondel, lconcr, Stone, Rapley, Bryan of Washinzten abath, Campbell, Knowland, Keating and Maa- den. es Kahn, Mass Meeting Held, The parade followed a mass meet- ing in a downtown theater, presided over by Mrs. William Kent, wife of Representative Kert _of California, fana at which stirring addresses were made by Miss Caroline Lexow, field [ secretary of the Woman's Palitical flinion of New York; Mrs. Donald Hooker of Baltimore, and Miss Lucy urns of Brookliyn, vice chairman of e Congressional Union for Woman ffrage, under the auspices of which he demonstration was held.

There were many novel features in the parade and the marching women | were cheered loudly by the throngs was evident the parade ; to handle the | New Britain that lined Pennsylvania avenue all the way from Lafayette square, opposite the White House, to the capitol. First and foremost was borne aloft a banner, twenty feet wide, bearing the inscription: “We demand the passage of the Bristow-Mondell reso- lution.” Then came the first sec- tion, the pageant division, typifying Spring, Youth and Hope, which had been arranged under the direction of Mrs, Eliphalet Andrews, a well known artist. Thousands of gar- lands of flowers were carried by the young women and children, the shades of the blossoms having been selected with an eye to harmonizing with the Union's colors, purple, white and gold. Chorus of 1,000 Women. In this division also marched the chorus of 1,000 led by Mrs. Apolline M. Blair, president of the Rubinstein club of .this city. Attractive as was this part of the parade, it did not evoke 'any more enthusiasm or. interest from the on- lookers than the cavalry section which came next and was commanded by Mrs. Juliet Barrett Rublee of Wash- ington, who also was the mounted grand marshal of the procession. ~In advance _of the cavalry con- tingent were seven color bearers on horsebaick, each ecarrying a purple, white and gold flag. At their head rode Miss Elsie Hill, daughter of for- mer Representative Hill of Connecti- cut. Among the prominent cavalry- women .were. Mrs. Denver 8. Church, wife of Representative Church of Cal- ifornia; Mrs: Charles Forrest Curry, wife of another California representa- tive; Miss Mary Morgan of Washing- ton, niece of Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester; Miss Alberta Hill, for- merly of Australia, now of New York and Miss Elizabeth Kent, daughter of { Representative Kent. Writers and Actresses. Mrs. George Odell was chairman of the foot marshals of the political di- vision, which was next in line, and which was subdivided into various sec- tions. The sections that created the } most interest were those of the wom- ieu writers and the actresses. The former was organized by Mrs. Marie Manning Gasch of Washington and among those who trudged with her were Mrs. Zona Gale of Wisconsin; ¥2dna Kenton, Helen Reimer Snyder | Martin, Mrs. Adelaide Fairbanks Tim- | mons, daughter of former Vice-Presi- { dent Jrairbanks, and wife of Lieuten- ant Timmo U.

Walking at. the head of this contingent was Dr. Cora Smith King, of Seattle, Washington, treasurer of the National Council of Women Vot- ers. Bringing up the rear of the parade were hundreds of women un- der the banners of separate states.

(Special to the Herald.) ‘Washington, May 9.—Congressman Donovan was the one member of the Cennecticut delegation to vote “no” on the naval appropriation bill Pu§sc(l Thursday, providing for the construction of two Dbattle- ships as the main feature of the yea naval building program. Congressman Donovan is certainly ol e e Wi two-battleship program and probably would be still more radical in op- position to a big navy program. Reason IFor Vote. did not prevent war ‘ongressman Dono- when asked for his reasons for his vote. ‘“Although, you know, the advocates of a big navy argued it is the best guarantee against war. It is also a fact that those na- tions which have small or no navies can borrow money at lower rates than those with big navies. It is also true that the nations with small or no navies have the biggest foreign trade, in proportion to their size. “I believe it is also true that the efficiency and power of a navy is to he measured by its gun power, rather than by the number of its ships.” Opposes High Salaries. Congressman Donovan has declared himself in ,strong opposition to high salarjes for United States district at- torneys and he raised his voice in the house the other day against an in- crease in salaries of such federal of- ficlals, A general federal statutes codification bill was before the house and Congressman Bartlett of Georgia made an effort to get a raise for the United States attorney in Georgia. “Let us see Who.it is we are rais- ing the salary for,” remarked Mr. Donovan, after the discussion of the increase had been discussed by sev- eral members of the house. We might as well have a little truth. No one can deny that this court is to the United States a petty court; that it bears the same relation as a petty court to a state. by the house “A big nav with Mexico, van commented, Are Tortured. “The principal part of its business is the trial of cases of infringements of the public acts. What are they? How mucnu ability and brains does it take to find a man who has failed to destroy the stamp on a cigar box? Ho wmuch ability and brams does it take for the United States to secure a conviction and fix the penalty or some one Who has not procured his special license for the sale of whisky? How much brains and abil- ity in a lawyer doés it take to pun- ish some one for sending scurrilous matter through the mails on a post card? As I say, they are compara- tively small matters, The salaries mentioned are, as a rule, ample and lawyers are nearly committing mur- der in order to get appointed to these positions. Even my good friend from New York, Mr. Goldfogle, is having his life made a burden the way they are beseeching him, trying to get an appointment for some lawyer in his locality, He is unable to attend to the duties of his office as congress- man on account of the greed of the legal brethren.” After further discussion, the pro- posed amendment was rejected.

READY FOR ANNUAL KENTUCKY DERRY Ten of Crack Three Year Olds of the Country to Go to thé Post at Churchill Downs Track, Louisville, Ky., 9.—At least ten and possibly twelve, of the crack three year olds of the country pected to go to the post at Churchill Downs track here this afterncon in the fortieth annual Kentucky Derby. The heavy rain of .yesterday and last night made the track muddy, and, ac- cording to horsemen, precluded the possibility that the record of 2:04 4-5 for the Derby at a mile and a quar. ter, made by Donerail, last year's win- ner, would be broken, Of the ten entries which their own- ers have declared ale certain to start, five are colts, three geldings and two fillies. The Kentucky Derby never has been won by a filly and -only three geldings have been victorious, the last heing Macbeth TL in 1888. The purse for today's race, with $10,000 added, wili aggregate about $13,500, of which approXimately $10,000 goes to the winrer. 0Ol Rosebud, a gelding, continues the favorite in the betting at about 7 to 5, but Hodge, Bronze Wing, Tvan Gardner and John Gund have strong following with Watermelon and Bel- loca as “long shots.” May ex- arden Tools, Garden Seed, Garden Barrows.

For a time it was thought the entire structure, which is the largest busi- ness one in town, would be entirely consumed, tunate in getting streams of water at play quickly upon the heart of the blaze. A railroad man who was at the railroad station at 3:10 o'cloek noticed a bright light under the hard- ware store of Chandler and Morse, in the Union block. The firemen in responding that the fire was in the cellar. Dense clouds of smoke rolled out of the windows. This came from quantities of paints and oils in the cellar among which the fire is thought to have started spontaneously. The fire was held at that end of the building and the greater portion of the loss falls upon the hardware firm. It had a stock estimated to be worth $25,- 000. The damage to will reach $15,000. Other tenants who had smoke and water damage were E. T. Tucker, gro- cer; T. M. Barnes, merchant tailor; Lauretta Allard, milliner; Dr. A. H. Strachan, dentist; the Putnam Pa- iriot, and the post office. The build- ing, owned by the Union Block com- par was not materially damaged.

L WARRANTS REFUSED. Meriden City Attorney Holds Parents | Are Not Violating Laws. Meriden, Conn,, May 9.—Wa rants for the arrest of the p: ents of nineteen school children were refused by City Attorney D. J. Dan- aher, today, when application was made for them in behalf of the school board. The reason why warrants were asked for was that these parents have refused to have their children vaccinated against smallpox. The city attorney held that as the parents sent their children, who are healthy and physically in good con- dition, to school regularly they vio- lated no law. The children have been sent home from school every day when they appeared. Their parents have persisted in refusal to have them vaccinated. The school board then | sought to have the parents prosecuted. For ailments of body use Sun and Moon ointment and liniment, For sale by Dickinson Drug Co.
