Great Confusion.
The Women's Political association
disclaimed participation in ths po-
litical warning dt the Congressional
union and for some time the commit
tee room was In confusion with half
a docen women trying to explain
things. At times during the hearing
the spectators who crowded the room
gave vent to their feelings. Repre-
sentative Heflin of Alabama who
spoke against suffrage was frequent-
ly hissed.
Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge president of
the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage conducted the op-
position to the amendment.
Mrs. Henry White of Boston de-
clared that women have succeeded in
getting all of her legal rights with-
out the ballot and that the ballot' was
unnecessary.
"The wise state recognizes that wo-
man should be preserved for the work

Clapp flees Evil Influences..
During the debate in the sénato
Senator Clapp declared that all the
sinister influences of tho country were
lined up against woman suffrage. He
said he regretted t ha t good . people In
opposing suffrage allowed themselves
to be used as a mask for these evil
Influences. .
. - Senator Bryan of Florida made the
first extended speech against the
amendment. He contended first of
all that the states should be allowed
to deal with the question saying that
California had no more right to say
whether the negro women of Florida
should vote than Florida had to say
that the Japanese women had a right
to vote in California.

Nogales Son. Méx. March 1. All
question as to whether or not Oeneral
Carranza is among the living and ac
tive in the councils of the constituí
tionallst party of Mexico may be set
at rest. He Is very much alive and
particularly active In formulating and
carrying out a comprehensive plan
for the redemption and regeneration
of the great republic to the southward.
I am constrained to make these prefa
tory remark in order to set at rest
the many rumors which have been in
the air during the past few. weeks to
the effect that Oeneral Venustlano
Carranza is dead; is mysteriously
missing; is but a mere figurehead: is
afraid of Villa; Is hiding behind the
shadows of subordinates is not first
chler of the constitutionalist revolu-
tion; la not going to Chihuahua; has
no voice In affairs of state or In the
conduct of military affairsin short.
that Carranza Is a myth.
I found him today at his head
quarters in this quaint old Mexican
town one of the oldest and at tne
same time one of the newest in the
republic surrounded by aides and
subordinates the busiest man I have
Camanxa Is Worried
Oeneral Carranza has aged consid-
erably during tne twelve months and
a little over that have elapsed since he
launched his revolution In the state of
Coahulla during the month of Febru-
ary 1913. The affairs of state have
apparently weighed heavily upon him;
his face Is thin and bis cheeks are
heavily lined. His patrlarchlal beard
is as carefully cared for however
It was In the days before he became
the central figure in this political
movement and he pays "scrupulous
attention to his clothing giving evi
dence that in his youth he must have
been something of a dandy. His eye
is bright his voice ftrm and he Is as
active as a man of forty thougn
mast be 6$.
Nothing New From Bryan.
"As yet I have received no answers
from Secretary Bryan to my tele
grams" said General Carranza
plunging at once Into the matter
which I had told him 1 wanted to dis
cuss with him when I arranged the in
terview. Continuing he said:
"The British government has thus
far made no representations to me.
and therefore I must continue to re
fuse to discuss the Benton case.
"That will give you an idea of my
attitude toward those nations who re
fuse to recognize the constitutional
ists. Although many nations .will not
recognise me as chief of a govern
ment they do recognize In me the
chief of the constitutionalist army
which dominates the greater part of
the Mexican republic. As the chief of
the constitutionalist army I will at
tend to all representations made to me
by any country regarding subjects of
that country ir the representations
are made In proper form. Though
these governments refuse to recognize
me now as a chief of a government
they will soon be compelled to recog
nise me because the triumph of tne
cause which 1 represent is certain
Warns Against Intervention.
On the question of intervention In
the affairs of Mexico by the United
States Oeneral Carranza has some
very pronounced Ideas but does not
waste many words In expressing them.
If the United States Intervenes I
shall do my duty" said Oeneral Car-
ranza enigmatically.
What his duty will be in the prem
ises he left to be Inferred. Continuing
he said:
Intervention will not give the re
sults hoped for and besides will pro-
voke wur which outside of the Imme
diate material consequences will be
the cause of an Intense hatred not
only between the citizens of the
United States and of Mexico but be
tween tbe citizens of the United
States and of the citizens of all Latin-
America a hatred which. In . my
estimation will have dangerous con-
sequences for the political future of
the great United States of America.
Must Be Settled Bight.
"I would not Ilka to see the United
States Intervene in the internal af
fairs of any unhappy country for
many reasons nor do I believe that it
the Intention or desire of the great
mass of American people to Interfere
matter which cannot be settled
until it Is settled right that is to say'
until we of Mexico settle It to the sat
isfaction of the vast majority of the
people of Mexico. R Is true that an-
noying things are done and annoying
questions arise but that is true la
every civil war. It was true la the
great civil war that raged in the
United States from 111 to lift.
Seeming wrongs were committed by
the warring factions then In the
United States as th-y ara being com-
mitted now by the warring factions in
Mexico: but they were all made right
In the end then as they will be now.
We have always expressed a willing-
ness to punish those who have com
muted wrongs against our own peo-
ple as well as against- foreigners and
will continue to pursue that policy. I
hope that nothing will be 1 done to
cause a rupture between the two
countries because of tho lasting bad
eneri wnicii will be produced."
Zapata Loyal to Cause.
Oeneral Rmeliano Zapata who Is
operating In the southern portion of
me repuouo is looked upon by Qen
eral Carranca as one of his subordl
nates.
"Oeneral Zapata has sent me nu
merous representations" said Oeneral
Carranza" placing himself absolutely
under my orders. I have no doubt at
an as to ms loyalty and readllv ha
lleve that he has repudiated the for
gery known as tho plan of OuHdalupe
changed and distorted by designing
politicians for their own aggrandize
ment.
Huerta Bitterly Denounced.

May Communitvto Again.
That tho United states mav com

ing protection for Spanish subjects
was Intimated by Secretary Bryan.
Representations have been made to
the United States on behalf of a
Spaniard named Kills and it is like-
ly that the American government will
make Inquiries of Carranza regarding"
him. Though tnere have been Inti-
