(By ths. United Press)
Atlantic City, N. Aug. 2. Poli
ticians here got their "ears close to
tno ground m anticipation of the
emergency-called convention of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association which opens here Sep
tember 6th. This was shown by
letters and telegrams pouring in on
suffrage leaders here today.
With the leaders of the women's
forces determined to follow up the
victories gained ,t the Democratic
and Republican national conventions.
the action to be taken, by the dele
gates here promises to hold as much
interest for the political wiseacres as
the Maine elections.
Moreover, this 'interest; 4s being
stimulated by the air;,, of i mystery

vention, as comparatively little news
has leaked out to date concerning eith

ject
"We have called the convention so
that every phase of every subject
whjch concerns our cause, our poli
cies nd. our organization may prop-
enjr be considered," said. Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt, president of the Na
tional American Woman Suffrage
Assocktion, when interviewed heie
"But what action are you going to
take?" demanded the interviewer.
ihat will be or the convention to
decade," was the reply.
"You may state, however, that no
voice will be silenced and no opinion
suppressed."
Further than that Mrs. Catt would
say nothing. .
Sixty-seven State suffrage organi
sations, covering every State in the
Union, are affiliated with the na
tional suffrage association, and will
bo represented t the convention,
which will extend from September 6
through the 10th. Altogether, more
than a thousand of the most repre
sentative women of the country will
be in attendance.

not yet been made Dublic. it is known

New Jfprk. Aug. 2. Women's
Lazarus Rouse is at the point of
death in the LWell section nnq his
half-brother John Bouse, is held for
Uis shooting, ! which occurred .early
Tuesday morning. The Sheriff did
not get the details of the shooting un
til late Tuesday afternoon.
Rouse, a negro, was the victim of a
party of white men, ftis mother, Celia
Rouse, believes, vThe old ngress, a
midwife, declared to officers that she
was called trp before day. She made
light and opened the door. Two
men were standing there. One placed
himself in the doorway, shoved her
aside, levelled a shotgun at Lazarus
Rouse, who was lyinj on a bod a few
feet from the door, and pulled the
trigger. The entire load entered
Rouse's face, making a ghastly hole
in the jaw. The roots of his tongue;
appear to be badly swollen, and ho
may lose its use, even if ho does not
die, which now seems inevitable.
Lazarus Bouse for a month had been
making disrespectful remarks about
White girls. H hoped there would be
war with MesWoHo get fhe National
Guard out of the way, he said on one
occasion. Boasts that he made reached
the ears of white people in 'the sec
tion.. Rouse was discharged from one
farm for such talk;
Celia Rouse says the face of the
man who did the shooting was
"streaked" and that he appeared to
be a white man "blacked p,",sweat
washing the color off in Spots on his
face. Lazarus Rouse told the Sher
iff that John Rouse shot hini, but the
officer is inclined to accept the old ne
gross' version. John RpAse, who is
to be given a hearing before a rural
magistrate., will prove an alibi with
ease, the Sheriff states. : It , ; seems
that John and Lazarus Rouse had
toe Jpalous of each other over la wo
man who lives in the neighborhood .
Less than a week ago Lazairua was
shot in a heel and lag by an unidenti
fied person who fired through a hole
in the door of the womana home
To strengthen the belief, tha, white
men took vengeance ' upon, Lazarus
Rouaa, the officers who investigated
tfc case late Tuesday picked up 14
empty cartjridges. ..They ware fired
in a fusilade outside the house a mo
ment after the assault upon Lazarus,
Celia Rouse said. It is thought sev
eral men 1 sited outside while the two
at the door made what they, thought
was. ft sjjcsesgful attempt to kill the
oagro. 'The, voice that called up the

tho Finance Committee for North
Carolina of the Wilson-Marshall cam

of tho Democratic party is the splen

made sixteen knots, but .most usually ten; , , . .
