They listened to a number of addresses by women :and men deploring the seek- ing by women of political equality and uyrging that they can be or more and creater service to the nation in other felds. Most of the speakers, including Mrs.“Arthur M. Dodge, of New York, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, attacked particularly. the movement for a fed- eral suffrage amendment. Tithu Root, In & paper read for him by Miss Alice Hill Chrittenden, of New York, protested against such an amendment, holding it contrary to the &pirit ®f American institutions and the gubjection- of the people of one. state the governrhent -of others. Elihu Root’s Paper. “I am against having the constitu- tion of the United States amended so as. to impose woman suffrage on the states which do not wish for it, not merely or. chiefly - because. my judgment does not approve-of woman suffrage, but for a much more “vital reason,” said Mr. Root's ‘paper. “It is a destruction of the rizht of self-government and a subjection of the people of New York to the gov- ernment of others. Having. failed to secure the assent-to woman suffrage of such states as South Dakota and West Virginia and Ohio .and New York and Pennsylvania, the advoates of woman suffrage now seck to com- pel such states to accept it against their will and to compel them to earry on their local government and select their representatives in . the national government in conformity to the opin- fons of the people of other statas who lare in favor of woman suffrage. I think such an attemut is contrary to the ciples of liberty upon which the American union was established anad_without which it cannot endure. Without the rizht of local self- zovernment we should lose the. better. Ammwmmtm.rgsdmmmd- —_— nu-t of our liberty.” This country is 80 “vast, the difference in climare, in physical characteristics, in capacity for yrodnnfl’on. in-predominant indus- tries, and in. the resuleant habits of leinx and 80’ at that there are ni "lfln erences. of view as to the conduct of life and to subject any section of ‘tiie country in its local affairs to' the-dictation’ of the vast multitude of voters Hving in other parts of the country would cre- ate a condition of . intolerable tyranny and. to use the power of the nation to bring. about ‘that condition. would be to make the nation an instrument of tyranny. It is needless to argue that this would ultimately ‘destroy the na- jon. “The one exerclse of.natlonal power over suffrage to. prevent discrimina- tion against the black race was made and justified only upon the same grounds which. justified- the war -and the emancipation proclamation and for the time being destroved all Jocal gov- ernment in the seceding states, - It establishes no. precedent and justifies no attempt at control upon a less ter- rible and compelling cause.’ Cardinal Gibbons’ Message. Cardinal Gibbons sent a message which was. readfi deprecating the par- ticipation of women in politics. Fred- erick Huidekoper, vice president of the American Surety’ League, spoke in the place of General Leonard Wood. who was unable to attend, and urged the anti-suffragists to work for the cause of preparedness. Miss Mabel Board- man, of the American Red Cross, told of the work of that organization. Oth- er speakers including Miss B. L. Reb. inson, of Cambridge, Mass., president of the Public Interests League, told how anti-sufiragists and assisted the work of the Red Cross during the war In_Europe. Members of the Natlonal Assoclation tonight attended a banquet at which there were other addresses. The con- vention will continue through tomor- row.

Buffalo, N, Y., Dec. 7.—That John Edward Teiper, on trial charged with the murder of his mother, Mrs. Agnes Teiper, showed grief at the double funeral of - his mother and 'brother, Frederick, last February, ,was ihe tes- mony of the first witness. for the de- fense, called today. The pall bearers and Telper's, father-in-law, Aiton H. Newton, swore that at the house, at the church and at the graye they had observed signs of emotion” The pros- ecution has claimed that Teiper man- ifested no grief on this occasion. The jury today examined the two automobiles which figured in the trag- edy in Orchard Park road last Jan- uary. Teiper, handcuffed to a deputy sheriff, took part in the examination, suggesting to his. counsel points to be_emphasized upon ,the jurors. That the Aefense. wWill try. to uphold the theory first advanced by Telper— that the murders wows the work of a negro highwayman, was shown in the opening address today of Roger P. Clark of Binghamtbn. assoclate coun- sel in the Teiper defense. Mr. Clark declared that it would be shown that negroes had been seen in the vicinity on the day of the -murder ahd that more_than $100 had heen stolen from the bodies of the victims: .Ha- de- clared that an entire absence of mo- tive on the part of the defendant would be proved.
