o WILSON STANDS PAT ON SUFFRAGE ISSUE President Favors Votes for Women, But S8ays Franchise Regulation State Function. OPPOSES FEDERAL ACTION « Washington, Aug. 2. — President Wilson has not changed his position that the woman suffrage question should be dealt with by the states, it \vas announced today at the White House. The statement was brought forth by the announcement yester- day of Charles E. Hughes, the repub- lican nominee, that he favored an amendment to the federal constitu- tion giving the vote to women. ; A delegation of suffragists saw the president yesterday and afterward in- dicated they believed he would make a new statement on the question before the convention of the American Wom- an Suffrage association in Septem- ber. At that time the policy to be pursued in the presidential campaign will be determined by the national suffrage organization. Today Secretary Tumulty discussed the question and afterward announced that Mr. Wilson's position on the sub- ject was unchanged. This position, as outlined several times to suffragist delegations within the last three years, is that while he favors votes for women, he is opposed to federal action. The president voted for woman suf- frage in New Jersey last year. * It was indicated that today's an- nouncement was final. ROGER CASEMENT ‘18 TO BE HANGED ON THIS MORNING (Continued From Page Ome.) which there was reported an armed ex- pedition from Germany nearly to the west coast of Ireland {n Aprif' of this year, was blown up by its own crew when the latter foresaw that it was inevitable that the blockading English warships would capture it. The crew were made prisoners. The tramp had been convoyed from Kiel by a German submarine, from which Casement and 4 companion landed on Irish soil, where they were taken into custody before their plans matured. In May, Casement was given a pre- liminary hearing and was committed for trial on the charge of high treason. Late in June the trial was begun, Casement pleading not guilty and ut- tering a denial that he had worked in Germany's interests, and that he had accepted German gold as a bribe. The court’s verdict was guilty, and the sentence of death by hanging was, after appeal by his counsel, confirmed by the court of criminal appeal late in July, he London press generally ap- proved the fate legally fixed for Casement, but in America persistent efforts were made to save the noted prisoner from death. In Washington a resolution was adopted in the senate requesting Pres- ident Wilson to transmit to the Brit- ish government an expression of hope that it would exercise clemency in the case of all the Irish political prisoners. In England, the Manchester Guardian and a number of other papers pleaded for mercy, and petitions asking for a reprieve were circulated in London. Adherents of John Redmond for- warded to Premier Asquith a peti- tion signed by six bishops, twenty- six members of Parliament and fifty- one other persons, including a num- ber of educators. Pope Benedict interceded in Case- ment's behalf, endeavoring to obtain grace for him from the British gov- ernment, influential Irish nationalists having urged upon the pontiff that the prisoner was not a traitor, but was inspired by Irish patriotism. Roger Casement, prior to the war, established a reputation through his investigation of the Congo and South American rubber atrocities commit- ted on natives by Belgian and British rubber hunters. The then Sir Roger headed a commission of in?uir which brought about reforms. In Y913 he became actively identified with the organization of the [rish national vol- unteers. He was in the United States when the war began and addressed an open letter to the Irish press, ad- vising Irishmen to remain neutral, In October, 1914, he went to Norway and thence to Berlin, whence came the news that startled the world— Casement was plotting what his coun- nr looked uron as high treason. His friends, recalling his years of service in Africa and South America, claimed for him that the !m‘)ical sun had unbalanced him mentally. Casement was born Sept. 1, 1864, Columbus Knights Re-Elect Board Davenport, la, Aug. 2—The su- reme council of the Knights of Co- umbus, in session here, today re- elected the four members of the board of directors whose terms expire, They are John H.

The sailing plans of the Deutsch- land were a carefully guarded secret, but when it left Baltimore there was a | belief that it would proceed direct| to Newport News. On the other hand there was an expectation in some quarters that the submersible would seek a quict inlet somewhere in lower Chesapeake bay and there | await a favorable opportunity to make a dash through the allies’ blockade off the capes.

He! admitted that preparations were go-| ing on at Locust Point pier, just va- | cated by the Deutschland, to receive another submarine.

Why men- tion resuits with this kind of evidence? THE BEE, OMAHA, RAILROADS PREPARE T0 POT UP FIGHT Join in Resisting Order Explo- sives Be Kept Out of Jersey City Switch Yard. INJUNCTION IS PROPOSED New York, Aug. 2.—After a confer- ence of officials of railroads with terminals in Jersey City today, it was reported that the railroads would fight the resolution adopted yester- day by the Board of Commisioners of Jersey City, designed to prevent a recurrence of the Black Tom island or storage of high explosives within the city limits. The report was to | the effect that the railroads would apply jointly to Federal Judge Rel- stab in Trenton for an injunction, restraining the city commissioners from carrying their order into effect. Director of Public Safety Frank Hague announced tonight that he is prepared to carry into effect the provisions of the commissioner’s re- quest. There was another explosion came among Jersey City officials late to- day when Michael Mulligan, super- intendent of the Lehigh Valley rail- road reported that the smouldering fire from tons of sugar stored in five warehouses was spreading to two freight cars loaded with high ex- plosives and shrapnel at the extreme end of Black Tom island. The cars had been buried under debris and could not be removed to ap lace of safety. Acting Fire Chief William Kern made an inspection and reported that the blaze, while serious was under control of his firemen, The fire and water poured on it has turned thousands of tons of sugar into a syrup that spread over much of the island. Drainage canals were cut from the burning warehouses to di- vert the flood of syrup into New York bay. Sharpnel shells in the piles of de- bris were exploded by thei ntense heat in such numbers that more than fifty laborers working near the fire were ordered away and a dead line established under police supervision. Two More Bodies Found Floating In New York Bay Jersey City, N. J.,, Aug. 2—Two more bodies were found today float- ing in New York bay within a few rods of the scene of the explosion, One of the bodies was identified as that of Captain Cornelius Leyden, chief of the Lehigh Valley Railroad police, and previously reported miss- ing. The finding and identification of Levden's body paves the way for the rosecution of those who may be ound responsible for the explosion. In complaints upon which warrants have been issued and served upon four persons, the death of Leyden is made the basis of manslaughter. To make out the case it was neces- sary to have the body found and identified and every effort was made to_recover it. The other body found today, bring- ing the death list up to six, has not been identified. Forty-One Babies Die of Paralysis New York, August 2—Forty-one children died and 166 were stricken in the greater city during the last twenty-four hours in the epidemic of infantile paralysis.

Jersey City reported three more deaths and two cases and reports from other nearby cities indicated that the epidemic was far from being under control. This is the largest number of new cases reported in a single day in the five boroughs. Since the epidemic began there have been 4,289 cascs re- ported and 937 deaths.

THE FRENCH GAIN, the more important, is mdmitted by Berlin. It was affected between Helm wood and Monacu farm, near the river, where a strongly held Ger- man work was captured. The German trenches, says the Berlin report, had been completely demolished. THE BRITISH MADE their progress east of Pozleres as the resuit of hand-to-hand fighting. The Germans were on the ag- gressive west of High wood, but were una- ble to get beyond the British fire barrier in an attempt to recapture lost ground. LITTLE INDICATION of the progress of events on the Russian front is contalned in today's official report from Petrograd, which records merely rifle and artillery duels at varions points and the repelling of minor attacks on Russian positions. The German war office declares that sev- eral Russian attacks in the Stokhod wec- tor were beaten off.
