Mrs, Field Tells Her Troubles Driving Oldest Suffra- gette in Carriage. A Gelegation of twenty petticoated suffragettes and a mib-tivision of threr men called upon Polis Commissioner Waldo to-day and talked and talked and talked about the alleged lack of police protection during the recent suffrage parade. The gentlemen suffragettes Were just as warm and shrill in the! denunciations the lady euffragettes. Mra. Harriet Stanton Blatch, Presi- dent of the Women's Political Union, was the chief spokeswoman of the pro- testing delegation, and after the hear- ing was over, she exclaimed exultantly to an assemblage of reporters, “Well, we had the whole Police Department mopping {ts brow Commissioner Waldo recetved the suf- fragettes and suffragists in his private office, He had summoned Inspector George MoClusky, who had charge..of the parade, and Deputy Comminsioner Dilior, who had supervised the police errangements. Mrs. Blatch and her sisters fell upon McClusky and before they had finished with him he was in- deed mopping his brow, Mrs. Blatch had not come to deliver an oration but to present facts and specific complaints. Mrs. Blatch carried a big roll manuscript, which contained hundreds of names of complainants against the Police, She read off complaint after complaint, charging that the women paraders had been insulted, jostled, Jeered and roughed all along the line. Innumerable specific instances of row- dyism were quoted and every complaint alleged the police either did not inter- fere or that there were no police to in- terfere. Mrs, Blatch declared she’ un- Gerstood there was only one policeman to a block, when ten would have been insuMcient. Then she ac‘ed Mr, Waldo for the figures. He evaded the ques- tion, Once Inspector McClusky intervened and said: “Ten't it true, Mrs, Blatch, that we clear for the prog ‘Tt 1s not!" returned Mrs, Blatch, and McClusky was squelched and remained 0. Before she had finished her recita- tion of compiaints, Mrs, Blatch cast a bard at Mayor Gaynor, With cutting @arcasm, she recalled that Mayor Gaynor had written a “characteristic” letter to a woman complainant, in which he had said many women had assured him the police arrangements were commendabl “Mayor Gaynor,’ eaid Mre. Blatch, “never got any such assurance from any woman who marched in our parade,” Mre. Cyrus W. Field, who drove the fe in which rode the Rev.
