Women prominent in national affairs and in suffrage councils told of their harassed progress through surging owds of men and bo¥s, whom Lhe po- e, they said, made little effort to hold back. Their stories differed in detail because of the viewpoinis from which the march had been observed, but their statemengs as to the gen- eral -attitude of th® police were en- dorsed by Rear Admiral Van Reypen, retired, and George F. Bowerman, li brarian of the Carnegie library of ‘Washington, who appeared as wiiness- es against the police department. Police Merely Looked On. Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the chil- dren’s bureau of the department of commerce and labor, one of the march- ers in the suffrage parade, said the few police she saw Seemed to be mere- 1y “standing in the front row of the spectagors.” Mrs. Harriet Taylor Up- ton of Warren, Ohijo, in charge of the Ohio division of the parade, declared that crowds of “youngish men” surged in so close that the marchers could hardly walk two abreast; thal “good natured drunken men” pushed against the marchers’ lines without restraint by the police and that the few officers in sight did nothing to protect the pro- cession. Major Sylvester’s Excuse. Congress had passed a special act directing the Washington police de- partment “to prevent any interference with the suffrage procession.” In the questions put to the women witnesses today, Senators Jones, Dillingham and® Pomerene tried to secure definite in- formation as to why the protection had been so inadequate and as to the number of police on hand, and the manner in which they &cted toward the women marchers. Well dressed women, many of them Jeaders in' national suffrage affairs, packed the commlttee room where the hearings were held ‘and from their ranks came - the witnesses who were called to the stand under the direc- tion of Miss Alice Paul. In a state- ment furnisheq to the committee at its opening, Major Richard Sjlvester, superintendent of police, declared his department had given the parade all the protection it could with the lim. ited number of policemen available; and that the disorder on the streets was due to the breaking of cables along the route and the unruly char- acter of the crowd. Police Laughed at Scenes. Bursts of laughter came frequently as women told of their experiences. Mrs. Upton said there were some el- derly women in the Ohio division, and she was afraid a “good natured drunk- en man” would fall against them. “So_we all hurried and got past and he fell back in Wisconsin or Wyoming or somewhere back there,” she said. She declared the police laughed at the scenes and made no effort to help. The most inefficient, she said, were the plain clothes men, sworn in for the oc- That Crowds Were Doing Very Well—Other Incidents. casion, who carried their authority in the badges on their coats. Police Encouraged Crowds. Mrs. Agnes M. Jenks of Concord, N. H. who had her daughter and other l oung girls ith her in the New Hampshire division, told one of the most striking stories. She declared uniformed policemen had encouraged the crowd in its disorder; and (Lat she had been sg alarmed at the action of the officers doward the young girls that the children were placed in the center of the procession, where they were protected by older women. “The crowd hooted and jeered,” she said, “men tried to - get the flowers from our coats,~and one man stuck his_foot out in front of my daughter and tried to trip her. At another point two policemen in uniform were standing together talking and encour- aging the crowd to jeer us. One po- liceman looked as though he was go- ing to take holg of the young girls who were marching with us. We were more frightened by the“police than by the crowds.” Policeman Had Arms Folded. None of the women could give the number of the policemen who had exhibited Indifference or antagonism, although several thought they could identify some of them. Mrs.” Abbie Scott Baker of Wakh- ington, one of the organizers of the parade, declared the street hai been allowed to become congested just be- fore the parade started and that lack of advance protection had made it im- possible then to clear the avenue, “It was as though we walked into the neck of a funnel,” said Mrs. Baker. “One policeman to whom I appealed stoog with his arms folded and sald: ‘Oh, the crowd is doing very well’” Spat Tobaccq Juice in Face. Miss Vera Hetfield, who rode on the “Old Liberty Bell” float, testifled that a man in the crowd caught her by the foot and that she kicked him loose. Another caught her sister by the hand, and others rubbed their arms. Miss Patricia M .Street, assistant di- rector -of the parade, testified that a drunken man spat tobacco junce in a woman's face when she reached out to push him back from the line of march. Policeman Knocked Down by Scout. “I struck the man across the face and a policeman tore my coat in pull- ing at me,” said she. “I remonstrated. He sald ‘There would have been noth- ing like this happen if you women would stay at hmoe.’” Phillip Elliott, a thirteen year old Boy Scout, told of being knocked down by a policeman, whom he was trying to help push back the crowd. Connecticut Woman Testifies. Senator Poindexter, who marched in the parade, declared on the stand that when the automobile ambulance tried to drive through the parade length- wise in the presence of the police he concluded that a deliberate attempt was belng made to break up the pa- rade. Irs. Jennette Gallinger, daughter- in-law of Senator Gallinger and Mrs. Helen Hill Weed of Connecticut were among others who testified. WILSON REPLIES TO THE ROYAL CONGRATULATIONS Alse Shakes Hands with 930 Room Visitors. East Washington, March 6.—President Wilson saw most of the phases that fo, with the presidency today.

The president Quit work promptly at 4 o'clock and went for an automobile ride with Mrs. yilson. Tonight he saw Wililam F. cCoombs, chairman of the demo- ocratic national committee, and Joseph P.
