Sec'v Bryan Embraced By One Wandering Female. Washington.—Speaker Clark today told a delegation of women from the National American Woman's Suffrage Association that “woman suffrage is as inevitable as the rising of tomor row’s sun." “For six thousand years.” said the sneaker, “men have been trying to run the world and some think they have made a bad mess of it. 1 hope that when you women run it you’ll improve on it. I think woman suf frage is inevitable. The only ques tion you folks have to consider is how to most expeditiously get what you are after. You can get it quicker by the states than through congress '“ln some places there is a great prejudice against woman suffrage and you want to remember one thing, that if you lose the fight you arc out lor years. Whenever the subject comes up for a vote.in Missouri I am going to vote for woman suffrage. This is not because all women are lilted to vote, and I may add that I would not like to saytbat all men are fitted to vote. If you ever do vote, and I think it is coming certainly, I hope you will vote for. the best prin ciples and the best men.” From 38 States. The speaker was addressing a group of women from 38 states who had presented three hundred petitions for woman’s suffrage in the form of resolutions adopted by suffrage or ganizations and mass meetings at the time of the nation-wide demonstra tion on May 2nd. The woman suffrage leaders in the delegation included 13r. Anna Howard Shaw and \£iis3 Jane Addams. Vice-President Marshall .also re ceived the Suffragists and later peti tions to senators were left at the vicepresident’s office. . Strictly Non-Partisan. The i etitions which the committee explained were strictly non-partisan, asked congress for legislation which woudl "insure to woman equal politi cal rights with nien,” but did not ad vocate adoption of any particular pending measure. Suffrage associa tion officers said they wished it clear ly understood that they were not fighting any party but seeking aid lor the suffrage cause from individ uals of every political faith. Urges Vice-President. Dr. Shaw urged the vice-president, to take a more decided stand on the suffrage question because she “was convinced he believed in suffrage." “Bui I can’t get away from ray wife,” replied the vice-president, “and I don’t want to.” “But you might persuade her if you tried,’’ said Dr. Shaw. One suffragist who wandered away from the throng about the vice-presi dent's office, spied Secretary of State Bryan on his way to meet the senate foreign relations committee. She al most, embraced the secretary in the earnestness o' her arguments and Mr. Bryan had to use vigorous methods to extricate himself.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD STATE BUS ARE VERY FEW Only 50, As Compared With 7,500 National Banks, Qualify For Federal Reserve Board Membership. Washington.—Fifty state banks and trust companies have qualified for membership in federal reseve banks as against 7,500 national banks. This small number of state institu tions in the new federal banking plan is due chiefly to state laws for bidding state banks to acquira stock in other corporations. There are only twenty states in which Treasury De partment officials are absolutely cer tain it is [ ossible for state banking institutions to become members ol the new federal re; e banks with out some modification of the laws. These states are Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Vir ginia. West Virginia, Kentucky, Ten nessee, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Ar kansas. Texas, Arizona, California and Oregon. Two of these states, Kentucky and South Carolina, passed enabling acts since the passage of the federal re serve act which makes it possible for their state institutions to enter the federal system. Olficials in many other states have given the reserve bank organization committee assur ance steps would be taken to make similar change in tjjeir state laws, but in r.ost cases the legislatures do not convene until 1915. No effort lias been made by the re serve bank organization committee to induce state organizations to par ticipate in the federal system as na tional banks over-subscribed the stock of the reserve banks. How ever, state institutions which were anxious to be among the original members oT the new reserve banks were welcomed. COLUMBIA WON THE BOAT RACE Popular Victory at Inter collegiate Regatta.
