PARADE FOLLOWS SESSION Legislators Escort Feminine Band to the Capitol and Make Pleas in Their Behalf—Banquet Held at Night. Washington, Aug. 1. —“Votes for ■women" was demanded by delegations of suffragists from eiery state in the Union who besieged the senate cham- i ber and bombarded the senators with petitions bearing thousands of signatures urging consideration of a woman suffrage constitutional amendment. The siege of the senate followed a demonstration in the course of which hundreds of women paraded from Hyattsville, Md., through the country roads and the city streets, down Pennsylvania avenue and through the capital grounds. Members of the senate •woman suffrage committee, which ajready has favorably reported the suffrage amendment, met the petition bearers and rode to the capital them. 'i Demand to See Senator*. Miss Alice Paul, chairman of thtf legislative committee of the National American Woman Suffrage association, officers of the association and the senate committee headed the parade. At the capitol it disbanded and a cloud of femininity fluttered into the senate wing. The dignified hush of the imj>osing marble room from just off the senate chamber was shattered by the demands of women from various states that their cards be taken to their senators. The pages were busy for the better part of an hour hurrying senators from the chamber to meet their “constituents” armed with petitions. After the petitions had been presented the delegations flocked to the galleries, where seats had been reserved, and the woman suffrage supporters on the floor of the senate took charge of the demonstration. Senators ■Owen, Ashurst, Poindexter, Jones, Works, Lane, Smoot, Clapp, Thomas, Shafroth and Hollis made brief addresses indorsing the petitions. Gives Petitions to Senate. Senator Owen officially presented the petitions to the senate. “The reasons for this request on the part of the women of the country,” he said, “are overwhelming and ■unanswerable and the time has come •when they must be considered with dignity, with unbiased mind, free from prejudice or passion, in the interest* of the welfare of the human race.” “I do not appeal to the men from a party standpoint, or call their attention to the effect which may be expected to follow if either one of the .great parties should go so far as to Insult the 3,000,000 women who now have the full suffrage in America by . contemptuously denying a right so obviously just and so obviously necessary to the welfare, the progress and the happiness of the people of America, but 1 will remind you that a great party with high ideals, casting over 4,000,000 votes last year, declared for woman suffrage and the question can bo longer be ignored.” At night the suffragists continued their demonstration at a banquet attended by members of the house and senate. PLAYING A WAITING GAME Both Sides Resting on Arms In Michigan Copper Country—“ Mother Jones” Coming. Calumet. Mich., Aug. I.—Both sides ©f the mine workers’ strike in the Michigan copper -ountry are playing a waiting game—resting on their arms In a sort of armed truce—right at present, awaiting action of the governor in regard to the refusal of the mining camps to confer with the western faction of miners and the acquiescence of the federation to attend the conference. The refusal of the companies to meet at the governor’s request with the union is taken as a final refusal to bow to organized labor, and the strike will likely be a waiting one. It Is predicted it "will assume the character of the last big •trike the federation had in Colorado, where the mining districts were under military rule a year. Mother Jones, beroine of coal miners, telegraphed acceptance of invitation of local federation to come here and will reach Calumet next Tuesday. * Train Kills Whole Family. Greenville, 111., Aug.

“MULHALL A LIAR,” SAYS UNDERWOOD Former Lobbyist for N. A. M. Denounced in Senate. CALLS HIM A “BLACKMAILER” Majority Leader Asserts Man Who Takes Liberty With Name of Public Men Should Be Forced to Prove Charges. Washington, July 31. —Representa-. tive Underwood, Democratic leader of the house, appeared before the house lobby investigation committee Tuesday and charged that Col. M. M. Mulhall, the lobbyist, was a blackmailer. The appearance of Underwood was an event not on the program. He came unexpectedly. At the night session Minority Leader Janies R. Mann and Speaker Champ i Clark also made most emphatic denials of Mulhall’s statement that Representative J. T. McDermott of Chicago had offered them the “Mulhall letters” for use in the house of representatives’ investigation. Both insisted they never heard of the letters until after they were sold for publication. Mulhall enlivened the day by testifying that Representative McDermott had admitted to him that he. had signed Mulhall’s name to a check for $250. The letters themselves, however, purported to give much information alleged to have been furnished Mulhall by Mr. Underwood, and the latter took the stand to give the lie direct, and at once, to Mulhall. “I think,” replied Chairman Underwood, “that it is in the Interest of the public that a man who has taken liberties with public men as this man has should be contradicted. “I regard a man of this kind as a blackmailer. That man has never been in the ways and means committee room since I have been chairman of the committee. He may have had conversations with me, but when he says he had an interview I want to say that statement is a lie.” Mr. Underwood also said he did not believe he ever had seen Mulhall before in his life. Mulhall practically finished his identification of letters he wrote and received in the ten years he claims to have been the lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers. Mulhall's last day as an identifier of letters proved the most exciting of his two weeks on the stand. He swore that he had tried to get Chairman Wilson of the labor committee interested in the story he is now telling and that Speaker Clark and Minority Leader Mann of the house had turned down an opportunity to conduct an investigation of his activities. The speaker and Mr. Mann, he said, had been approached on this subject by Representative James T. McDermott of Illinois. “Neither Mr. McDermott nor anybody else ever showed me the Mulhall letters and papers,” said Speaker Clark in a statement. “Neither Mr. McDermott nor anybody else ever spoke to me about them. I never knew that Mulhall had any letters or papers until I saw in a newspaper that he had sold them to a New York paper.” He testified he also had offered his correspondence to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation oY Labor, and that Gompers had declined. “Were the letters or their substance laid before Mr. Wilson?” asked Senator Walsh. “I gave Mr. Wilson an understanding of what I had,” replied Mulhall. Speaker Clark and Mr. Mann, Muk hall said, -would not have the matter "come up.” “Did you have a talk with either?” tisked Senator Cummins. “No, sir.” “Did you offer to sell them to Gompers?'’ “No. I offered to give them.” When the senate lobby investigating committee resumed its session on Monday Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts took the stand and gave the lie direct to the “confession” made by Martin M. Mulhall, professed former agent for the National Association of Manufacturers. Mulhall was taken off the stand long enough to permit Senator Lodge to put into the record bls emphatic denials of Mulhall’s testimony. AUTO PLUNGES INTO RIVER.

SECRETARY M’ADOO IS ASSAILED BY SENATORS Say Secretary Should Reveal Information He Ha* on Campaign to Stop Sale of U. S. Bond*. Washington, July 31.—Following his charge that New York bankers have organized a campaign to depress the value of government two per cent, bonds, Secretary McAdoo was attacked by members of congress Tuesday. Representative Henry, in a statement, demanded an inquiry into the charges. Senator Weeks challenged Secretary McAdoo to produce his evidence. Chairman Glass said the house banking committee had its hands full considering the currency bill and did not propose to be diverted. He and other members of the committee made it clear that they agreed with Secretary McAdoo as to the reasons for the depression. Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, a Republican member of the senate committee on banking and currency, in a statement attacked Secretary McAdoo for his charges and demanded that he make public the information on which he based the charge. The Democrats of the house committee struggled along with the consideration of the administration bill. Representative Bulkley of Ohio continued his attack on the broad powers conferred by the bill on the proposed federal reserve board. By a vote of 8 to 33 the committee declined to adopt an amendment striking out the section of the bill allowing the board to suspend the reserve requirements of the bill for periods of thirty days and to renew such suspension for fifteen-day periods. Representative Bulkley also proposed an amendment providing for a graduated tax on banks as a penalty for allowing their reserves to fall below the required percentage, but this, too, was rejected. $60,000 NECKLACE STOLEN. .

NATION'S CAPITAL SWEPT BY GALE Cyclonic Storm Kills Three and Halts Government. PRESIDENT IS ENDANGERED White House Window* Crash In a* Tumulty Rushes Chief Executive to Safety—Capitol Employe* In Panic —Loss I* Big. Washington, Aug. 1. —Three persons lost their lives, scores were injured and many small buildings were demolished and a large property loss was caused by a terrific wind, rain and hail storm which swept Washington Wednesday. The wind blew sev-enty-two miles an hour ahd more than one .and one-half inches of rain fell in an hour. The din In the senate chamber was so great that a recess was ordered. The property loss is heavy. For half an hour the city cowered, paralyzed, under the beating of the storm, every activity suspended. Trolley and telephone service and street traffic were halted and the governmeat departments suspended operations. The wind wrecked a three-story brick office building occupied by the B. 8. Saul company, real estate deal- , ers, and fifteen persons were carried down in the crash. W. E. Hilton, vice-president of the real estate company; Thomas B. Fealey, sixty-five years old, a clerk and an unidentified man who entered the building to try to rescue those caught in the wreck, were taken from the debris dead. Half a dozen were taken to hospitals seriously injured. Other bodies may be recovered. Th© neatly kept lawns of the White -House were devastated- Three huge elm trees, uprooted by the wind, were thrown bodily across the lawn and up to the very portico of the building, blocking the drives. President "Wilson was seated in the executive offices when the wind crashed through several windows in the White House proper. Secretary Tumulty hurrried the president and Representative Korbly of Indiana, with whom he was confering, to a sheltered interior room, away from the searching lightning flashes. The capitol, set high above the city, caught the brunt of the wind, rain, hall and lightning. The senate was in session when the hail swept down with a deafening roar, beating on the glass roof of the chamber. The tumult made further business impossible, and the senate quit work in confusion for fifteen minutes, When the storm broke, 35 painters were at work on the dome of the capital, swarming over the curving surface or swinging high on shaky scaffolding. William Reese, the foreman, hurried to the dome .and got most of his men to shelter insjde the big inverted bowl. But Jim Boyle, John Ford, Noble Bailey and Bruce Jones were too late. When the storm was over they crept, shaken and bruised, to safety inside the dome. In some of the office buildings and i the government departments disasi trous panics were narrowly averted. At the bureau of printing and engraving, where hundreds of women are em-, , ployed, the wind, sweeping through a ■ huge window, sent a hail of broken plate glass crashing over the big press room. Eight or ten women were eut by falling glass and one printer, John Rhodes, received severe scalp wounds. The crash of glass swept panic through the big room. While the excitement was at its height the wind caught a bundle of 1,000 one dollar bills, half, finished, and swept it through the broken window. All but $75 worth of the bills were recovered.

IffIUMIONAL SUNMSOIOOI Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 10 THE PASSOVER. LESSON TEXT—Ex. 12:21-31. GOLDEN TEXT—“The Son of man , came not to be ministered unto, but to I minister, and to give His life a ransom I for many.’’—Matt. 20:28. There was a two-fold preparation be- ! fore partaking of the passover sup- ■ i per. .The lamb had to be properly se- j lected and definitely kept a period of i four days, Ex. 12:3-6. Then those who | ate had to make proper preparation first in the previous eating (12:15) : and second in the dress they were , i to wear while partaking of the feast i (v. 11). Everywhere throughout the : subsequent references the Passover ■ lamb is used as a type of the*T!hrist. ; I We have chosen to add , and to make a four-fold division of the j | lesson. > Without Blemish. I. Instruction, vv o 2l-23. This Pass- : i over month was henceforth to be the 1 ' beginning of the year. It Is even so ' with us that being redeemed by the shed blood “all things become new,” we begin over again, the past is as Chough it were not, 2 Cor. 5:17. In v. 3, we read that the “lamb was for an household” (R. V.) and if the household be too little, then shall he i! and his neighbor next door be in- | vited to the feast. Christ Is for the home, but others should be invited, beginning next door; there is an abundance for all in him. It will be noted that the lamb was to be held four i days, so Christ was set apart before the time of his actual sacrifice (I. Pet. 1:20). Salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ was not the remedy of an emergency, an after thought of God to meet an unexpected contingency. The lamb must be without blemish (I. Peter 1:19; Heb. 9:14; 2 Cor. 5:21), and the fact of it being a year old (v. 5) suggests the perfection of strength which Is in Christ. Notice; also, it was the spotlessness or faultlessness of the lamb that saved, nor its innocence bqt its blood, for, “withqut the shedding of blood is noremission of sin.” Lev. 17:11; Heb. | 9:22. The Hebrews were safe, not because of their being descendants of Jacob but because God could see the blood (v. 23). There was the destroyi er helpless and his power impotent. 11. Inspiration, vv. 24-27. God seeing ; the blood gave them security; they i seeing the blood were given assurance. ; In the days to come, when they had I entered into their promised possesi sion, they were to be inspired to obe- . dience as with gratitude they remembered the merciful provision of God. : Even so the testimony of God’s Word about the blood of Christ makes us, sure and we are to tell others of our marvelous deliverance. For any Israelites to have doubted, beiog behind the blood, would have been to doubt the Word of God; for us to doubt our security being behind the blood is to doubt God's Word. It did not matter how weak or strong, learned or ignorant, rich or poor, the blood was efficacious because of his word. It was that, and that alone, which God saw. The Israelites were not to tell their children or others about the beauty and meekness, the purity and simplicity of the lamb, but s that it was the blood which saved • them. See I. Peter 2:24. Symbol of Faith. 111. Execution, vv. 28-30. It was not i enough merely to shed the blood, it ! must be applied according to instruc.- ! tions or else there was no security, I vv. 7 and 22. Hyssop is symbolic of faith. Have we, by faith, applied the blood? See Rom. 3:25; I. John 1:9; Rom. 10:10. Notice, also, no blood was to touch the threshold. See Heb. 10: i 29. No Israelite was to neglect to eat of the feast (nor should any Christian neglect the Lord’s supper where by he is to feed upon Christ) and further, none but those behind the blood were to eat of the feast. It is quite suggestive that the Israelites “went and did so as the Lord had commanded,” v. 28. God’s warning received no such obedience from Pharaoh and * the. Egyptians, and hence th© terrible judgment executed. IV. Expulsion, vv. 31-36. Pharaoh could not wait till morning to get rid of Moses and the Israelites (v. 31). His former dilatoriness stands out in strong contrast now that he has drunk the cup to the bitter dregs. He is insistently urgent and the Egyptians with him, for, said they, “we be all dead men.” The Israelites “asked” (v. 35) of the Egyptians jwels of silver and gold and fine raiment. When orientals go to their sacred festivals they always put on their best jewels. The word “borrowed” as here used signifies to demand, ask or require. Hence they demanded from the Egyptians something to compensate, some remuneration for their years of poverty and slavery. Summary. The pre-eminent value of this feast of the Passover was that it created for the Israelites an opportunity to tell their children the story of how they became a nation. Like as they partook of it within the houses protected by the blood upon the doorposts and lintels and girded for immediate departure so we can be protected by the bloow of our Lamb. As they obeyed they were saved. In close connection with this feast was the feast of unleavened bread, signifii cant of the fact that their redemption I by God was to be manifested by them > in the separation from every corrupt- > ing Influence. This feast was to be ! equally perpetual as a memorial of their new bondage to the law of their god. Every subsequent reference to these events by prophet, i priest or rabbi emphasized the funda- > mental fact that it was Jehovah who > redeemed them and that in that re* * demption was the foundation of their I national life. _ _ _ _

CAT DIDN’T COME BACK AT LEAST NOT TO DOMICILE WHERE IT BELONGED." Its Disappearance Something of a Mye tery to Mr. Jones, Though He Is a Roast of Beef to the Good. It was found necessary to do away with the family cat because she had developed germs and the doctor said it was dangerous for the children. But Chis cat was the children’s particular pet, so it was decided simply to have : tier disappear, with no funeral or flow-.. I ere or juvenile tears or a tombstone in che back yard; Accordingly the animal ; was chloroformed and then Mr. Jones j did the remains up in a neat parcel of i convenient shape and took th. m. along when he started for bls plac-t of JbusiI uess in the city in the morning, intend- ; Ing to drop the package in the river. In the train before the river was reached Mr. Jones saw the package reposing in the rack aboTe his head and determined that was \ good'place to leave it So when he started to get out I of the car he did not take the pack- | age down. “Hey, there, Jones! You’re leaving ■ your package,” called out a friend. So Jones turned back and got the pack1 age. On the boat he was surroundeu by a ■ number of friends and realized that to I drop the bundle overboard in their I presence would require a lot of explanation and doubtless result in more or | less joking at his expense. So he took j the package to his office with him. He saw the impossibility of disposing of It there and determined to get rid of j It on the boat during the trip back ■ home. But there again he°was surrounded ! by his friends of the morning |rip and ■ took the package to the train with him. | An attempt to get off the car without it resulted just as it had in the morn- . ing. Mr. Jones thus found himsell | returning to his home with the botheri some bundle and he knew the children would meet him on the front porch and Insist on knowing what it was. Accordingly he made his way home across the back lots, deposited the bundle on the kitchen porch and finally got to the front ofthe house without detection. Fifteen minutes after he had seated himself on the front porch with the solution of his great problem the cook appeared. “Mrs, Jones,” said she, “what's dat extra roast of beef out on the, back po’ch ?” Mr. and Mrs. (Jones both.went back. Sure enough the bundle contained a , i six-pound roast of beef, j It only remains to say this story is ■ a true one. The thing happened as ) here written. Mr. Jones is still wondering whether | the man with whom he somewhere exi changed bundles had much difficulty in I disposing of the remains of the dead j cat. Many Like Smith. (Robert C. McCready, a well known i life guard, of Long Branch, recounted some of his experiences as, brown and I sturdy, he paced the wind-swept ■ beach. “No, no,” he said, “the average per- ! son you doesn’t give you a i check for a million or offer yen a part- ' nership in his firm. The average perj son you rescue is like Smith. “A Philadelphia watchman saved I Smith’s life one winter night when he ! fell off the Race street wharf. The : watchman plunged into the icy water i after him jtnd only got him out after | ten minutes’ terrible work amid the I floating ice. But Smith took the thing I as a matter of course. ‘l’d a' done all ' right alone if I’d ’a’ been able to swim,’ I he said. j “A month or so later the watchman ] asked Smith to help him move a packI ing case. | “ ‘Nit,’ said Smith. ‘I ain’t no I horse.’ i “‘I done more for you,’ said the | watchman, ‘one night when you were ; drowning.’ “ ‘Yes,’ said Smith, hotly, ‘ant} you’re jno gentleman to cast it up to me ' now.’ ” • " * . How Cobb Got Fired. * Many years ago Frank Parker was the telegraph editor of the St. Louis Chronicle. One of his valued correspondents was Irvin S. Cobb, who then added to his income by putting a Paducah date line over his fiction. One day Cobb sent in a patficularly good story. Parker printed it. That night the boss came in swinging his head like a semaphore. “Look’ut,” the boss said, skipping a syllable here and there. “Lookut this! What suborned perjurer had this sort of a pipe dream?” Parker told him. “Fire him," said the boss, passionately. “Don’t wait for a letter. Fire him by wire. Do it now.” So Parker did it. By and by he received a reply from Mr. Cobb, in which the latter was somewhat plaintive. “I’m not complaining about being fired A Cobb wrote. “But I’ve been working for your sheet for six months —and I think it’s hard luck to be fired for the only true story I ever sent you.”—Kansas City Star. , To Segregate “Stupids.” Addressing the convention of alienists in session at Chicago, Dr. Henry H. Goddard of Vineland, N. J., declared that slow and weak-minded children should be segregated and receive a special education. He asserted that the average stupid child recruits the criminal class when he is brought up among normal children, whose educa- . tlon leaves him still ignorant. “Often the stupid child is the favored and petted one of the family, and many parents do not, or will not. recognize that a child of theirs is mentally deficient.” asserted the speaker. “The child thus becomes spoiled, and becomes a dangerous factor in society. “Twenty-five per cent, of the criminal class belong to the mentally backward; 50 per cent, of the prostitute class and 70 per cent of th© persons in reform institutions are mentally dsi ficient—- ■ ~~
