CHINESE WOMEN RIDE
HORSES IN PROCESSION
1.000 Men Take Part--Roose
velt Shied at Leading Them.
World Represented.
NEfW YORK, May 4 —Miss Annie
tinker’s squad of suffragettf cavalry
women, booted, spurred, breeched and
stayless, were easily the feature of the
greatest suffrage parade of the century
which was held here this afternoon,
when 20,000 equal righters, ten abreast,
and al! marching under 39-cent suf
frage hats, marched from Washington
square, at Eleventh street, to Fifty
seventh street and Carnegie hall. The
parade was carried through without a
hitch, and was viewed by over two mil
lion enthusiastic masculine New. York
ers, all of whom voiced their vocifer
ous approval of the “cause” on horse
back.
All Kinds and
All Colors.
There -were suffragettes of every de
scription and color, from equal right
ers of the Carrie Nation type and
those who ran long on lingerie and
' French heels. Likewise were there
suffragettes of every shade, from ala
baster whiteness to deepest black, in
cluding the varidus gradations of tan.
brown, yellow, mottled and African
smoke.
The mottled suffrage sisters were
freckled, of course, but the tan, brown
and pure African belong to a squad
of negresses, organized and led by Mrs
Albert Plimpton; while the yellow
shades adorned marchers from the far
off land of China.
These parti-colored advocates of
equal suffrage, however, paled to insig
nificence beside the doughty Miss Tin
ker and her cavalcade of equestriennes,
ab of whom were mounted upon beau
tifully caparisoned horses thoughtfully
provided with binders. This cavalry
squad was comprised of the flower of
New York suffrage, and in its ranks
were Miss Inez Mulholland. Miss Mabel
Lee. the Chinese suffragist; Mrs. Raid
ing Farnum. the sculptress: Mrs. Wil
liam Eracher. and Mrs. Richard S
Chisholm. Theirs was the only head
dress not of the-39-cent denomination.
It was composed of three-cornered
black straw, with a tri-colored cockade
in purple, green and white, and cost
almost 59 cents.
The women were to gather at Wash
ington square at 3 o'clock—the parade
was to start on ‘its long trip up Fifth
avenue to Fifty-seventh street and
across town to Carnegie hall at 4 —and
immediately began to under
the direction of Mrs. Harriott Stanton
B'latch.
Parade Halted
While Women Primp.
The first step in the organization
was the purchase of suffrage headgear.
Almost every one willingly parted with
the necessary 28 cents, and all seemed
satisfied till Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont ap
peared upon the scene with her 28-
cent hat trimmed with a suffrage cock
ade. Os course, no one was going to
, let Mrs. Belmont, even if she is the
mistress of milions, get ahead of her in
a matter so vital as headgear, so these
who had been placed in line broke
yanks, dug up another 11 cents for the
cockade and had to be organized all
over'again. This made the procession
► nearly a h*lf hour late in starting.
At last everything was in readiness,
however, and Mrs. Blatch. standing
erect in her open barouche (Mrs.
Blatch. though a general, feels more
at home behind a horse than on top
of one) gave the order to. charge. In
stantly the long column swung into
- animation, the band struck up “Hail,
the Conquering Hero Comes," and the
greatest equal rights parade in decades
started on its long march between solid
rows of admiring New Yorkers.
L The smallest suffragettes are Marie
Soltz, Madeline Ball, Marie Moore.
Gertrude Melch, Helen Singleton and
Helen Palconer. These little girls,
ranging in age from 7 to 10. are mem
bers of “The Rose Maid" company.
Mrs. Loo Lin. “the boss of China
town,” represented China. Not only
did she volunteer to appear, but she
consented to ride a horse “astride." Mr-
Winston-Churchill, wife of the novelist,
L arrived here at the head of a delega
|F tlon of New Hampshire suffragettes.

The Atlanta Georgian
WOMEN ASK
PLAGES ON:
CITY VICE
BOARD
Demand Representation That
Will Give Their Sex Square
Deal in Probe.
DECLARE THAT THEIR AID
IS NEEDED IN THE WORK
Temperance Union Heads Send
in Petitions to City Council.
Action on Monday.
Atlanta women today demanded rep
resentation on the newly appointed vice
commission.
The request has come to city council
in the shape of a petition from the
Georgia Woman s t’hristian Temper
ance union. „ The petition, which is
signed by the general officers of the
Frances Willard chapter of Atlanta,
asks that fit e women be placed on the
commission in addition to those men
already appointed.
The petition will be taken up by
council on Monday. It goes at great
length into showing reasons for the re
quest. and among them is the state
ment that it is necessary tn order that
a square deal may he given to the
women who Wil! be arre.Sted. persecuted
and prosecuted and puhished by laws
which they had notpart in making.
Declare Aid of
Women Is Needed.
The general offldSra thA peti-
tion are Mrs. Maty L. McLendon, pres- '
iden.t of Frances Willard chapter; Mrs."
D. O. Dougherty, vice president; Mrs.
K. L. Reeves, corresponding secretary; :
Miss I. A. Adkins, recording secretary. '
and Mrs. G. A. Cochran, treasurer
The purpose of the commission as
outlined by Joseph A. McCord, chair- .
man, is rather to strive for legislation
that will prevent the younger citizens ■
of Atlanta from falling into vice than
to try to legislate religion and purity ;
into those already steeped in vice.
Such objects could not possibly be I
fully attained without the aid of worn- <
en. say the petitioners. There are de
grees and forms of vice the significance j
of which only women can fully appre- ■
ciate. Therefore, if the best effects are '
to be obtained, the research of the
commission must be balanced.
The members of city council were
taken completely o/f their feet by the
petition. None of them would offer
any comment as to what would, be
done.

SHERIFFSHOTIN
BREATHITT FEUD
Ed Callahan Riddled With Bul
lets as He Stands in the
Doorway of Home.
LOUISVILLE, KY , May 4.—Ed Calla
han. sheriff of Breathitt county and one
of the leaders of the famous Hargis fac
tion, was shot, today as he stood in
front of his door at Crockettsvilie, Ky
Two years ago Callahan was shot by an
assassin, but recovered.
Callahan was riddled with bullets as
he stood at the door of his store by
assassins, who were hidden on the hill
side in the same place from where they
shot him two years ago
The killing of Callahan is another trag
edy tn the Hargis-Cockrell feud which
for more than ten years had stained
Breathitt county with blood. He is one
of the last leaders. All others have met
violent deaths, most of them under the
assassin’s gun. Callahan knew that he
was “a market man;" that sooner or
later his enemies would get him To
avoid death he had made the most elab
orate precautions. Around his store and
his residence he had built high walls that
he might not be under the range from
the surrounding hills.
Connecting his store and his home was
a covered passage-way that he might go
from his store to his residence without
exposing himself to bullets.
The Hargis-Cockrell feud, which has
just claimed its latest victim, broke out
in 1901.

BATTLE
Theodore Roosevelt Says the
President Heads the Silk
Stocking Brigade.
WHAT IS THE COLONEL
DIES? ASKS EXECUTIVE
Trembles for Country if Rough
Rider Should Expire—Com
plains of Deal.
BALTIMORE. MD. May 4.—Theo
dore Roosevelt and President Taft
joined battle in Maryland today.
In red hot speeches the president
and the ex-president flayed each other.
Rooseveli stvled Taft a leader of a
silk-stockinged aristocracy, wile Taft
reiterated his statement that Roosevelt
was not giving him a square deal. Both
are receiving large audiences.
President Taft launched his Marvland
campaign for renomination at Hines
ville. The president attacked Colonel
Roosevelt in a satirical manner.
Tn his speech at Laurel, the second
stop, the president said:
“I tremble to think what would hap
pen tn this nation if Theodore Roose
velt should die while pn much Is de
pending iffton him."
M>‘. Taft at Fayetteville spoke of the
bitterness of the struggle In the Re
publican party.
“Even a rat In a corner will fight.’’’
he declared. The president again
charged the colonel with misrepresen
tation and with being a stranger to the
square deal.
T.arge crowds gathered wherever the
president stopned The flving trip to
day included, tn addition to the towns
mentioned, stons at Bay View. Elkton,
Aberdeen. Rolaire and Havre du Grace.
Mr. Taft will s>n°ak at the Lyric the
ater In this citv tonight.
"I don't want to fight." said the presrf
den» nt Pltt«v|llo. “but when I do fight
I want to hit hard. I have come out
most reluctantly to ask vour attention
to the political issues. It has not been
the custom for the president of the
United States to enter Into a political
controversy and make a camnaign like
an ordirar’- candidate.”
Tnnqvr>finrc UTatrn
Mr. Taft Tremble.
“Al’ I ask.” continued the President,
“is a square deal I have ben repre
sented in such manner by’ Mr, Roose
velt that a man must rise and re
sent it. T am courageous enough to
tell the people o’hat they alreadv know
namely, that they must recognize the
shortcomings of a sudden decision of
the neonlo
“Ts conditions were usual, you would
not find mo her»." continued Mr. Taft.
“If it were only mv personal reputa
tion at stake I would not bother you.
Rut I consider that I represent a cause
and that this cause Is constitutional
government for the wise progress of
the people and for Jhe protection of
principles of the constitution. The !n
--•novator is abroad. We are told that
there are new things which ought to be
introduced. For Instance, the recall of
judges. Rut if this policy were up
held it will mean that in Democratic
years the decisions upon the laws will
be Democratic and that in Republican
,-cqre thev will be Republican.”
TTf Dop?m ’t Require
Character Certificates.
After reefnrfng specifically to the
Pennsylvania primary’, the President
sa id
“We flow have Flynn (the Roosevelt
leader in western Pennsylvania) the
most notorious of bosses in the guise
of a reformer.”
Among the other things, Mr. Taft
had the following to say at Laurel:
“The truth is that we accept the
support which comes to us. If John
Smith wants to vote for me. I don’t
say, Go to your church and get a
certificate of character ' I tell him I
am glad to have his support, and If he
has not been al! he should have been
the fact that he Is going to vote for
me is evidence that he has reformed.”
Says Taft Heads
The Silk Stockings.
Standing beneath a picture of Abra
ham L 'coin, Colonel Theodore Roose
velt tc day at Westminster said:
“The fight we are making Is a
straight line between the bosses and
those whom they seek to control. You
want to put the bosses down. Maryland
