D1DHT UEdllOH THEIR CAUSE Leaders Give Out Statements Showing Feeling Toward Executive Who Ignored Them in Annual Address to Congress. Washington, Dec. 2. Dr. Anna JHoward -Shay, - president of the Na tional Woman Suffrage Association, caused a sensation at the session to- night of the suffrage convention when She declared that President Wilson Jhad fallen short of the greatest oppor tunity Jie ever .had or would ever have In failing to say a word in behalf of woman suffrage today when he read his juinual message to Congress. Her remarijs provoked loud and prolonged applause. DrShaw said she had hoped the President would arise to the occasion, but that while he had recognized the necessity for the "extension of the bal lot to the Filipinos and urged territo rial vpters rights for Alaska, he had failed to mention woman suffrage in his message! - . . , . - : "President Wilson,", she . continued, "referred in .his message to the fact that the time had come for an exten sion of ; greater social justice and we women eagerly, listen this. ; We had iwped that, social justice would Include some measure of political jus tice to the women of.the country. ' I feel fully that measure of disappoint ment which, under .the circumstances, is natural, for the time had come for the President to say .a word in our behalf. ' i . ; Belittles the President. vwe feel that President Wilson has alien short of the greatest opportun 1 ity which has come to him or ever will come toliim. No other President has erer.-' had such . an opportunity. President Wilson ad the opportunity of speaking "a word whiel? might ulti mately lead to the (enfranchisement of a large part of the human family, jliyen Lincoln, who oy a word, freed a rape, had not this opportunity to re lease from the bonds one-half of the human family. "I eel that I must make this state ment as; broad as it is, for the reason that w at -Budapest last year, realiz ed that womankind throughout the world looked to the United States to blaze the. way for the extension of universal .sujrrage in -ever quarter or this globe! President Wilson has missed the one thing that might have made it possible for him never to have been forgotten. I am; saying this on behalf .of myself and my fellow officers.'- .

"Besolved, That in the sense of this meeting that President Wilson failed to lise to the sublimest height of De mocracy when he" failed -in his mes sage to Congress today to recommend the freedom of half the citizens' of the United States and probably half the citizens of .the civilized world." . .Washington,, Dec .2. Fear of bring ing on a revolt that might give Ameri ca militant suffragist organizations, today caused leaders in the , National Woman Suffrage Association to aban don their efforts to have adopted "by the convention a new constitution re- ported by - a revision committee ap pointed a year ago. Advocates for rights for State associations .and op ponents' of a proposed budget system for raising the National organization's ' iunds declined emphatically to ac cept the recommendations and finally the draft was referred hack to the committee with instructions that a compromise constitution to meet the views of all factions be written. Today's sessions of the 45th annual convention of the association were de voted almost exclusively to discussion of the proposed revision of the con stitution. The question was debated for nearly six hours without bitter-! finally resulted in a draw. The question of States rights was injected, into the debate by Miss Jean Gordon, president' -of the Louisiana Suffrage Association and organizer of the Southern Suffrage Conference, which voted against a Federal suf frage amendment. She doubted the wisdom of having State suffrage or ganization ; if the National association would admit, as the jaew constitution proposes, local societies which have no affiliation' with their own State or ganizations. , Efforts "to get some expression of Opinion from President Wilson on the suffrage question may be made before the convention " ends next Friday. Wihether & delegation will call at the jSVhite House and ask to be received, or whether some other plan of getting the ear of the chief executive will be adopted, had not been determined to night. .'- .

REPUBLICANS PREVENT VOTE Plan to Work Thirteen Hours a Day on Bill is Fought by Republicans in Senate To be Drawn Out. Washington, Dec. 2. -Without for mal action the Democrats of the Sen ate today put into operation the dras tic programme they have adopted for the consideration of the administra tion currency bill. The Republicans, after two hours of debate,' prevented a vote on a motion ' calling for con tinuous sessions of the Senate daily from 10 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night with a two-hour dinner recess, but the majority press ed the bill forward at every opportun ity, and kept the Senate in session to night. When Senator Kern presented a resolution which would have bound the Senate to the proposition to sit 13 hours a day the Republicans made a vigorous protest declaring that such a provision was unnecessary and would prevent mieuigeut cuusmei anuu ui tuc bill. Senator Norris tried to secure an agreement for shorter daily ses sions with an agreement to vote on the ibill by. December 20th, but this was defeated. The Kern resolution went over until tomorrow. The action of the Republicans fol lowed a minority conference Which de cided to offer formal protest against the Democratic programme but agreed to make no concerted effort to prevent speedy consideration of the currency bill.

"Shall we make a second Mexico" of the Philippine Is lands?" with this question W. Cam eron Forbes, former Governor General of the Philippines cncluded an ad dress before the City Club tonight in which, he defended the policy, of the United - .States toward its dependency in the - East and warned -against a premature' .withdrawal ot control. ,; 'President "Wilson has started upon a riaw-policy in the -islands," said M!r. Forbes. -"He has given the. FilHpinos a majority on the : commission, and appointed them to a. few other, places which previously were held by Ameri cans. I believe the motive underlying these changes is a praiseworthy de sire to let the Filipinos prove their merit and I do not feel that the ex periment should be unduly criticised. "The real significance-pf the Ameri can work-in the Philippines Has been giving freedom to millions ' Of people really held in , , serf dom., ; Premature relinquishment ei - control will set back the hands of the clock, undo the work we have done, and as sure as the run rises and sets return these peo ple to bondage. f'My recommendation is, that we proceed along the line of evolution, that we fill the lower branches of the service with Filipinos, let them grow up with it, give them careful, wise and thorough supervision, -and promote them as a result of proved efficiency, giving them only, what is good for them, not always what they want. "But let us not let go the firm an chor of the assured sovereignty of the United States and try to tie up to any silly rope, of sand such as neutraliza tion.' Neutralization rests on nothing more, than an agreement, and agree ments among nations are kept only so long as it is in the . interest of those nations to keep them. "How. if we give up control, are we to protect the liyes and . property of the citizens of the- signatory powers to the agreement? So show you most, graphically the position . we should then be in, I have only one question to ask; $s not one Mexico enough? Shall we make a second Mexico of the Philippine Islands?" f ' -FIVE PERSONS DROWNED. In Terrific Cloud Burst, in a Texas Town. - Belton, Texas, Dec. 2.
