Hartford, Conn., March 18.—The yight to vote was demanded by women before the legislative committee on woman’s suffrage at the capitol this afternoon. The hearing fwas upon a proposed constitutional amendment to strike out the discriminating word “male.” The gathering was the great- est probably that Capitol hill ever saw. The advocates of equal suffrage mar- shalled at the suffrage headquarters moved with banners fiying to the cap- {tol shortly after one o'clock. A pha- lanx fully 200 strong swept to the rs of the house chamber. “Antis” Get Best Seats. The “antis” had gathered earlier in the old senate chamber on the same floor and as the procession with ban- mers flyilng came up the stairs they were first in. position. As the house chamber doors opened the “antis™ rushed in and secured the front seats. The seats and standing room were quickly taken, The suffragists wore armlets of purple while some had sash- o8 bearing the words “Votes for Wo- men.’ 12,000 in Suffrage Leagues. The hearing lasted three hours. The proponents had their say and tomor- row the anti-suffragists will reply. Mrs. Maud Hincks of port:| presented the case for the proponents, She sald in openmi that suffrage had ‘been asked for by the women Con~ mflmt for the past forty—four y 43,000 in leagues, 3 Voting a Divine Right. Mrs. Carlos F. Stoddard of New Ha- ven was introduced as the mother of a number of beautiful children and so had the right to speak as a woman in the home. Mrs. Stoddard asked the committee to approach the ques- tion in & common sense way. Custom and natural law should not be con- fused. Men have not always had the right to vote. Voting is not a physi- cal but a divine right. A. S. G. Taylor of Norfolk, secretary of the Men's League for Women’s Suffrage, sald the suffrage question was just as much Woman's as man’s. He read a list of well known men identified with the league. He said that as a league the members were opposed to municipal suffrage. “It is a reflection upon wo- men, It makes them look as if they might be too mreat fools to be able to vote in a state election” He said women are going to fight for suffrage if it takes twenty years. Best Women in Movement. Samuel B. Bhaw of Redding claimed that the best women were In the movement. To say that it is limited to a few who have no home respon- sibilitl; is to ‘what 18 not se, Mrs. Edward Whitney of New Haven spoke of the relation of the family to society and traced the changes in con- ditions economic and secial in the past hundred years. Professor Arthur I, Corbin of ¥ale Taw #school told of the success of squal suffrage in Kansas, Colorado and other states. He sald that he never knew of dissension in the family through both husband and wife hav- ing the right to vote. A Progressive Party Speaker. Mrs. Arnold S. Gessell, wife of Pro- fessor Gessell of Yale, spoke on “The change in the status of women.” Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett read a letter from Professor Seitz of Columbia college, in favor of equal suffrage and other letters were read from Dean Rogers of Yale and Attorney General Light. Mrs. Herbert Knex Smith was the next speaker and she was followed by Wal- ter Emory Gard, who claimed that the progressive party stood for wo- man’s suffrage in the last election and 50,000 votes supported that platform. Secretary of State Phillips said that the democratic platform stood for mu- nicipal suffrage for women. It car- ried out Governor Baldwin's idea that give the women municipal suffage and if they are capable then. give them broader suffrage. He said that Gov- ernor Baldwin was not opposed to Wwomen voting. Will - 8olve Vice Problem. Other speakers were Miss Mayone Lewis of Greenwich, Miss Clara Hill of Norwalk, Dr. Dorothea Moore of New Haven and Mrs. Edward Porritt of_Hartford. Dr. Edward Beecher Hooker of Hart- ford touched upon vice and white slave conditions {n some cities as dis- closed by recent investigations and sald that these problems will be bet- ter solved when women have the right to take part In governmental duties. Suffragists Have 50,000 Vote: Charleg Gay of New Haven demand- ed that the people of the state be EIv- en the.right to say whether or not women: shall vote, i Profossor Henderson of Yale who had stoed for two hours wedged iIn near the platform, said that 100,000 votes were required to carry the amendment. e suffragists already had 50,000, As the amendment would not go to the people until 1916 he was certain and could promise that there would be 100,000 in faver of emendment by that time. He would do all he could to comvert hundreds, Women Needed to Clean House. Mrs. Emily C. Scott of New Haven caused a laugh when she declared that men of intelligence sat on the com- mittee. She had come to New Eng- land expecting to find politics as clean as the river Jordan. But she had found this was not so. Politics were tainted with machine methods. Wo- men are needed to help clean house and make politics fit for young Amer- ican manhood. Senator F. A. Johnson, who presid- ed, then gave oppdrtunity for five minute speeches and many were made, thz great audience staying until the end. NEW LONDON MUST FURNISH $250,000. Action of Senate Makes This Impera- tive to Prevent Repeal of $1,000,000 Appropriation — MoNeil Contingent Wins Out by One Vote—Efforts to Ropeal Porsonal Tex Now Dead. Hartford, Conn., March 18.—The first sharp battle of the present legis. lative session was fought out this af- ternoon in the senate, and it ended for the time being in the repeal, in effect, 0. the New London harbor appropria- tion bill so far as that body is con- cerned. It was a victory of Senator” McNeil, aided by Senator McDon- ough, the democratic leader, and Sen- ator Perry, the republican leader, ove: those senators from the eastern part of the state who were against the re- peal bill, The senate voted 17 te 16 that the million dollar appropriation granted by the legislaturs of 1911 for stéamship terminals and doeks at New London should be withdrawn unless the city of New Londen shall on or before Janu- ary, next’ tychl I(0the ity {reasnry $250,000 as its contribution to the state expenditure, Amother amend- men¢ was ‘that the eemptroller should draw his order on the treasurer in payment of orders autherized by the commission om rivers and hl.l'hiqu whieh has ‘oversight of the. develop- ment of the werk, up ie the amount of one million dollars. Afterwards the object of this second amendment was not clear, as the payment on vouchers for work done is provided for in the original measure. Perry Offered Amendment. The passage of the repeal bill in its new form was a surprise. In the early part of the debate the rejection of Senator McNeil’s bill to repeal tbe appropriation was thought to be like- ly. The change came when Senator McDonough suggested that New Lon- don ought to do something towards paying the bills for the improvements, Senator Perry then put in his amend- ment providing that the city or per- gons in New London should pay into the treasury a quarter of a million dollars. Senator F. A. Johnson of Montville, chairman of the committee which reported against the repeal bill, declared at once that the whole thing was so “messed up” that it either should be repealed or the original measure let alone. The margin of one was maintained not only on the adoption of the Perry amendment but on the passage of the repeal bill with two amendments. The matter will go to the house, where it is expected a lively debate will be pre- cipitated. Harbor Work Must Stop. According to those against the re- peal, the appropriation is left in a pre- carlous position. Under today’s action all work of harbor improvements at New London must be stopped. The &mendment requires New London with its 20,000 inhabitants to provide a quarter of a million dollars, which cannot he done except through private eneroeity or a municipal bond issue. 3ut the bill as passed does not give New London the right to issue bonds. ‘The bill provides that the money shall 5 into the state treasury and New ondon would not be able to get it back. Under the original bill all rent- als for steamship terminals and docks go to the state, New London would provide money for bullding the docks, but would get no income from them. Congressman Mahan, who was in- strumentsl in getting the original bill passed, was exercised over the possible fate of the appropriation. The entire New London delegation was disagree- ably surprised. No Repeal of Personal Tax. Among other incidents of the day in the proceedings were the rejection of a number of bills which have re- ceived attention from time to_time. The personal tax repeal bill was definitely killed when the house re- fused to change lts position agains: repeal. Rejections on unfavorable reports were made on bills for popular elec- tion of assessors: providing for non- partisan nomination of town officers; on a resolution to place the state on record favoring governmental owner- Ehip of coal mines, and for the ap- pointment of minor court- judges by the governor. A "bill appropriating $10,000 to as- sist war veterans to attend the Gettys- burg celebration was passed in the house. Hearing on Excise Bill Next Week. The hearing on the excise bill to limit saloons to one in a thousand in- babitants will be held in the hous2 chamber March 26 and 27. The Hurley bribery inquiry will be resumed as soon as the committee can get together. The democratic cau- cuses of the momination of Commis- stoner Corbin will be held tomorrow. A STRONG EFFORT FOR DEMOCRATIC HARMONY. Senators Will Make Concessions on Tariff to the House. Washington, March 18.—Democratlc members of the new senate finance committes today agreed upon a plan of tariff action that will have impor- tant bearing upon the downward re- vision plans of President Wilson and the house tariff leaders. In a confer- ence participated in by all democrats on the committee except - Henators Stone and Jones, a policy of close co- operatfon with the house was outlined through which it is hoped that the house bills can be made acceptable to the senate and pushed through t body with but little amendment and without the delay of committee hear- ings. Senate leaders stated tonight there is general harmony among democrats of that body upon the t iff programme. In order to carry o the policy of co-operation with the house, it is understood that the sena. probably will have to accept much greater reductions in tariff rates than that body approved at the last session Members of the finance committee to- day expressed the belief, however, thit thic willingness on the part of the senate would cause the house to exer- cise caution against making extremie cuts with the idea that they would be modified in the senate. BRYAN ATTACKED BY LONDON PRESS. His St. Patrick’s Day Address Arouses Antagonism. that the London, March 18—Following up tha Post’s attack on William Jennings Bryan, the American _secretary of state, for his speech at the St. Pat- rick’'s day banquet given by Irish- Americans at Washington last Satur- day evening, the Standard says: “If Mr. Bryan really expresses the views of the cabinet and the president, the relatlons between Great Britain and the United States may enter upon a phase which would be regarded with extreme regret by a majority of the sensible, moderate persons of both countries.” ‘The - Standard describes Secretary Bryan’'s. speech as ‘“a fine example of virulent and inflated nonsense which ihe inferior king of demagogue talks when he -wants to catch Trish votes.” The Standard regrets the speech, ‘which, it says, it is impossible to pa3ss as & mere indiscretion, just as the Panama bill is comine before the house and fears that the Irish electioneering machinery will be brought to bear in favor of discriminatory: tolls. “And,” adds the paper, “if this is to receive the open support of the administration the prospects of a just and favorable secttlement would seem doubtful™
