Democrats to Use Taft's Letters Favoring League Sufjfgestion? Offered to Presi? dent While at Peace Parley Will Be Published I'rom The Tribune's Wn.tfUiiofoH Purcau WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.?Suggestion* nude to President Wilson on the League of Nations by former President Will? iam Howard Taft, while the President was at the Paris Peace Conference, are to be made public by the Democratic National Committee as arguments against the Republican national ticket. The letters are said to reveal that Mr. Taft offered several suggestions re? garding the league covenant which the. President accepted to bring the docu? ment more into harmony with the Re? publican viewpoint. The Democrats ex- ! pect by the correspondence, it is under? stood, to convince the country that the President had a right, from the assur? ances sent him by Mr. Taft, to expect sufficient Republican support when he returned to obtain the Senate's con? sent to ratification of the Versailles treaty. The Wilson-Taft correspondence, it is said, was given to the Democratic National Committee by the White House without the knowledge or con? sent of Mr. Taft. It is understood, however, that the former President has no objection to the publication of the letters and has no fears that the Amer? ican public will be misled by their last minute'a uso in behalf of the Wilson league. There was some speculation here to dny sa to whether Mr. Taft will fill his spenking engagements for the Republi car. committee now that Senator Har? ding has declared definitely for the re? jection by this country of the obliga? tions contained in the Wilson league. The majority opinion seems to be ?hat Mr. Taft will not cancel his speaking dates. This is based on the view that Senator Harding did not change his position in the Des Moines speech, but merely reiterated, in a different way, it it; true, the thing he has been saying fiom the start? that he will accept no obligation impairing the sovereignty and freedom of the United States. Smith Says Republicans Blocked Welfare Bills j Governor Declares All Social ! Legislation in the Sta?e Was Parsed Under Democrats OSWEGO,, N.

The Governor asserted that all so- ? cinl welfare legislation of substantial ! benefit enacted in New York Stat?? in ; the last twenty ye.-.rrr was passed while the Democratic party was 3:3 control.

Registration Here Expected to Pass 1919 bv 300,000 ?-_ Heavy Enrollment Indicates New Record for the City Will Be Established ; Many Women Are Among Voters ?v New York City's registration yester? day swamped the clerks In every elec? tion district in the city, and at mid? night they were still poring over the tally sheets which, when totaled, will show the largest number of qualified voters in the city's history. It is expected when th? totals are reached for each borough they will show that last year's record-breaking figure of 1,079,426 will be exceeded by more than 300,000. Last year on the first five days of registration 703,268 men and women qualified to vote in Greater New York. On the last day last year 376,158 reg? istered.

A special effort was made, to get them out this year by the New York State League foi Women Voters, who in several sections of the city made a house to house cam? paign. The league's efforts were largely suc? cessful, and in the thickly populates portions of the town half a dozen to s dozen baby carriages stood outside o: barber shops, public schools and othoi registration places during the day. Th; rcgistrr.tion proceeded uninterruptedly from 7 o'clock yesterday morning unti well on toward ? midnight. Although .10:30 was the official hour set for c'oj in g the registration books, following custom, all in line at that, hour wer? permitted to register. In hundreds o election districts the lines at olficia closing time were twenty-five to fift; deep. The registration was heavy all ove the city.

WRAPS for TRAVEL The Motor * Town Country and the Opera Fifth Avenue At Fifty Second Street PARIS NeU; Y?rk BOSTON Fire Steals Waxen Children From Little Mothers at Fete Woman Presiding at Block Party Doll Booth Is Severely Burned Trying to Save Charges as Torch Drips Flame Forty or fifty little girls clustered with maternally yearning eyes last night at the doll booth at the block party given for the parochial Bchool of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Brooklyn. Gayly decorated booths and tables lined both curbs of Vandcrveer Street, from Bushwick Avenue to tho fence of Evergreens Cemetery, a band was playing and couples were dancing en the pavement, but tho little girls had eyes only for the bootb at which Mrs. Ella McDermott, of 40 Granite Street, presided. Hers was the priceless privilege of car? ing for Alice and Edith and Kate, Mary and Annie and Grace and the other bewitching creations of wax and lace and ribbons and real hair, which were dignified by name to facilitate their safe by raffle. As any right-thinking little girl, other things being equal, will buy a chance on a doll that bears her own namo before seeking to gain possession of one with an alien name, it happened that most of the forty or fifty wistful watchers were named Alice, Edith, Kate, Mary, Annie or Grace. "0?o?o?h! The lamp! Look out for the lamp!'' suddenly shrilled an Alice or Edith or Kate?or maybe it was a Mary, Annie or Grace. Anyhow, the childish shriek turned all eyes to the flaring gasoline lamp at Mrs. McDermott's booth, which revealed the beauties of the fluffy, wa.xen lodestones on the table before her. Something was wrong with the lamp. It was sputtering and hiccoughing and blazing drops of gasoline were being showered in ni! directions. A chorus of shrill screams, vibrant with imminent tragedy went up from the group of children. "Save Alice! Save Edith! Save Kate! Save Mary! Save Annie! Save Grace!" they shrieked in such animated con? fusion that only here and there the name of a coveted doll appeared. The effect on the block party was im? mediate and disastrous. The parents of the flesh and blocd Alices, Ediths K?.tes, Marys, Annies and Graces rushed poll mell'to the spot where a baleful glare was spreading about tho doll booth, each convinced that his own offspring was the ?source of that flam? ana smoke. Mrs. McDermott strove heroically to save her charges and snatched first one and then another from the table, but it was too late. The whole booth was ablaze und in a m< ment Mrs. McDer? mott was surrounded by llames and her dress was afire in a dozen places. The children, in tears ai the catas? trophe, sought to leave the hated spot and caused nev confusion in the throng that pressed about the blazing booth. Edward D r ivan, of 32 Grnnite Street, the first to recognize the real peril of the situation, thrust his way through the welter of youngsters and oldsters, snatched Mrs. McDermott from the fire and managed to beat out the flames in her clothing;. Both of them were severely burned I and were taken to Bushwick Hospital ? in an automobile which Patrolman j Schreyer, of the Ralph Avenue police station, stopped. When their Injuries had been dressed they went home. Three fire engines and two hook and ladder companies came to extinguish ! i!.e (ire in tne do 1 bo.:h, ami the i?._ek I party, which fled at the approach of the apparatus, found itself wedged | tight against the Evergreens Cemetery i fence, with no chance of getting out ? until the firemen got through. The firemen made short work of their job, however, and the block party band whiled away the time with music, so nobody was much exercUed over the aff3?r except the Alices. Ediths, Kates, Marys, Annies and Graces. They were, inconsolable. ? ? Costly Diamond of Sultan Brought Into UnitedStaies StravthColored Stone, Largest Ever Seen Here, Intrusted to M. Y. Banker to Dispose Of" A perfect straw-color-id diamond, said to be the largest and most costly solitaire ever broueht into the United States, arrived here yesterday on the ? Cunard liner Aquitnnia from South-' ampton It U owned by the former Sultan of Morocco and wae In tho ? possession of Frederick Whittram, of the Mercantile Bank of-America, who | brought It to this country from Ma- j drid aa selling agent for it? Wealthy ; owner. i The stone, which weighs 183.15 kar- ] ?ts, was once the central gem in the jeweled turban of Morocco's ruler, Abdel Hafid. The cares of his high j office caused El Hafid to abdicate in ? favor of his younger brother, who now i rules Morocco. When he quit the throne he took with him all his world-.! ly goods and settled in Madrid. When- j ever he needs cash he disposes of his : jewelB. The big diamond had little ! charm for him, so one day while talk? ing to Mr. and Mrs. Whittram he said: "You may take this diamond to Amer? ica when you return and as my agent dispose of it to the highest bidder." This casual offer amazed Mr. Whit? tram and his wife, and the latter asked El Hafid why he trusted it to them. ? "It is well," replied the ex-Sultan, j "You both have good faces. I have ! some fine square emeralds that I may j dispose of, but not just now." Mr. Whittram said he took the stone ' before various gem experts of Paris, r but because of its great size they said it would be difficult to approximate its value. Appraisers of the Treasury De- i partment expressed the same opinion yesterday. The diamond wan sent to the Apprais? er's Stores by the customs officials.
