Convention of National
Woman Suffrage Asso’n
A'l'l.ANTIC CITY, N. J., August
12.—Politicians here have their ears
rlose to the ground in anticipation of
the emergency-called convention of
the National American Woman Suf
frage association which opens here
September 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 at the democratic and
republican national conventions, the
artion to be taken by the delegates)
here promises to hold as much inter
est for the political wiseacres as the
Maine elections. v"JF!;!.s •>
Moreover, this interest is being
stimulated by the air of mystery
which hovers over the suffrage con
vention, as comparatively little news
has leaked out to date concerning ei
ther the program or the plans of the
leaders. Nor will the women at the
head of the movement relieve the anx-!
iety of the watchful political waiters;
with any advance information on the
subject.
“We have called the convention so
that every phase of every subject
which concerns our cause, our policies
and our organization may properly be
considered,” said Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Catt, president of the National
American Woman Suffrage associa
tion, when interviewed here today.
“But what action are you going to
take?” demanded the interviewer.
“That will be for the convention to
decide,” was the smiling reply. “You
may state, however, that no voice will
be silenced and no opinion suppres
sed.” Further than that Mrs. Catt
would say nothing.
Sixty-seven state suffrage organi
zations, covering every state in the
union, are affiliated with the national
suffrage association and will be repre
sented at the convention, which will
extend from September sixth through
the tenth. Altogether, more than a
thousand of the most representative
women of the country will be in at
tendance.
Although the official program has
not yet been made public, it is known
that a three-sided debate between the
supporters of state action, federal ac
tion and those who believe in both,
will be one of the big features of the
convention.
In the south the feeling’ is said to
be strong against the national suf
frage association abandoning any pol
icy that would lead to a straight fight
for a federal suffrage amendment.
In other sections of the country,
however, notably in those states
where amendments to the state con
stitutions take years of work and are
regarded as practically impossible,
the sentiment is reported to be equal
ly strong for the abandonment of
state campaigns and a concentration
of the national's machinery for a
drive on congress.
Both of these factions will be well
represented at the convention, as well
as those suffragists who believe in a
continuation of the policy of combined
federal and state action, which has
won 12 states for suffrage and con
verted millions of voters to believe in
it all over the nation.
The clash between these factions
will be watched with interest by the
politicians, because the outcome may
have a decided effect upon the fall
campaigns of both the leading parties.
Prospector Has
Narrow Escape
(Juneau Empire)
Bringing back a story of hardships
1 in a mountainous country, a narrow
escape from death, and also the infor
mation that the fabulous mine sup
posed to exist in the Berners bay re
i gion. has not been found, H. R. Shep
ard and Grover Winn returned this
• morning from their prospecting trip.
I Mr. Winn did not make the trip over
i the mountains, but Mr. Shepard and
i “Berners Bay John” made a trip 20
> miles into the mountains and return.
Mr. Shepard brought back several
samples of rock which show free gold
; in small quantities, but says that he
i found nothing which would warrant
■ anyone returning to the spot.
The two men, Shepard and “Bern
, ers Bay John,” were on the mountains
for five days and were without food 1
for the greater part of that time.
They were unable to carry blankets
with them and Shepard spent two
nights behind a rock between a gla
cier and a snow bank in the rain. The
two were well above timber line and
could have no fire. The only food they
had for three days was a handful of
dry tea. There seemed to be plenty
of game there but they did not kill j
any as there was no way of cooking
it.
“It is a likely looking country,” said
Mr. Shepard this morning; “but there
was nothing there which would war
rant going back at the present time.
“I was nearly dead from exhaustion
when I returned to the beach and old j
John was as faithful as could be. If
it had not been for him I would have
perished, as the mountains were cov
ered with fog during the greater partj
of the time and if he had left me I i
would not have been able to fiAd my j
Way out again.
“At one time when I was on a gla
cier I lost my footing and slid down
about 500 feet, ending up in a pile of
rocks at the foot. I was fortunate
enough to land feet first, or I would
havd been killed,
"During the trip we crossed three
mountain ranges averaging 5,000 feet
in elevation, and we returned the
same way. It is a nice country in
there but it is too hard a trip for me
to make again. I found a little rock
but nothing to get excited about and
I did not find any lead which looked
as if it amounted to anything.”

What We’ll Do to Seward Next Season
The muse is getting liberal with his
poetic license. A new aspirant has
sprang into the limelight and to the
metre of “Casey Jones” gives his im
pressions of the Anchorage-Seward
baseball games:
Come all ye Anchorage rounders, and the truth I’ll tell to you
Of the trip we made to Seward, and what the team went through.
You know the day we left you, and headed up the Arm
And each of you was pulling, to keep the boys from harm.
Well we smothered on the gas boat, and we wallowed through the rain
We wrestled with a handcar, and we swam the raging main.
We mushed and swam, and waded, while the pouring rain came down
Until we grabbed a box-car, and rode into Seward Town.
There we loafed about a Hotel waiting for the grounds to dry
There wasn’t time to practice and the time was slipping by
Like a sprinter on the tape boys, we waited for the call
And we slept and dined and wrangled, and we simply ate baseball.
The boys from Seward met us and they framed for every move;
They dined and entertained us and they showed us lots of love
We met them at the ball game and though Mickey did his best
Old Dame Luck broke against us, and the score will tell the rest.
With one down, were we frightened, Well Kid, I whisper "nay”
We rallied and we hooked them when the game was played next day
With “Slim” to do the heaving, we cleaned them up in style
And if “Nick don’t break his digits, we have them beat a mile,”
When each side has a game apiece, excitement got intense
Each side was out to cop the game, and hang the old expense!
Believe me kid, we played some ball, you’ve got no cause to weep
For the game we played at Seward puts the National league to sleep.
But you know the game of baseball and you know what makes it good
Things don’t always break for you, or even as they should
And when a hit might mean a ran, we didn’t hit the pill
But Kid, we died a-trying, like the Old Team always will.
We had the boys from Seward hanging on for half the game
And it looked just like a shut-out, until the final frame
And with the game so-tight you were half afraid to sneeze
Joe Campbell pulled the “hit and ran” and Finnegan the squeeze.
The game and series faded, but we fought it to the last
And we sank beneath the waters with the flag nailed to the mast
And believe me Kid, I’m whispering and it ain’t no hop-soaked dream
That this little Camp of Anchorage, can be proud of its Old Team.
We’ve got no Outside Batteries, but at that we didn’t quit
We made no “importations” cause we thought that they could hit.
We got no Outside players, We got no one at all
We don’t have to leave Old Anchorage, when it comes to playing ball.
And we want to boost for Tracey, ’cause he held the boys intact
And we watched them every minute and he watched us—that’s a fact.
And while we did the best we could, we lost it just the same
And the bovs from Seward testify, that they saw a real ball game.
And when we meet that team next year, believe me watch our smoke
And if the boys from Seward beat us, the whole town will go broke.
W’ve go the vim and pepper and we’ve got the Old Ball Team
To trim the Boys from Seward and to “cash in” Tracy’s Dream.
Old Van De Vere was pitchin’ ball and Amray caught the same
And with Powerv a-playin’ first, and Rochon in the game
Levine and Mills' out in the field and that Kid Nofskar too
With Old Bill Nourse a-playin’ third we showed them vhat to do.
Cap’. Nicholls with a broken mitt and Tiffany at short
To win a game, you’d surely need an order from the Court.
You won, good luck go with you, we’ll play again nc.:t yeai
and when you come to Anchorage, you’ll find the whole Camp here
All fast enough to back the team, all fast enough to root
And to give the Outside Battery and the Seward boys the hoot.
Don’t come unless you’re loaded, don’t come unless you’re right
Don’t play unless you’re ready, to ki's the game good night
Thanks for your entertainment, thanks for the little game
But when we meet in Anchorage, the score won’t be the same!
—IMPARTIAL.
