notice published by the German em

Unlfed States this morning, Americans
were given renewed warning that they

officials and ilipiomatists h<jrc as noth
ing more than a i alteration of <icr
many's warning ilr.?t given when the
war zone about the. ISritish I^les was
announced, there was much interest In
whether it forCBhadowed increased ac
tivity of German submarine:-, or pos
sibly had to do with movements of t'-.e
Gorman fleet, which recently has been
variously reported cruising In the
North Sea.
Count Bernntorff, the German ambas
sador, was away to-day, but embassy
officials said, bo far as thoy knew, to
day's notice was Intended merely to
rsrnlnd neutral travelers of their dan
ger, and did not Indicate new naval
operations.

SPEAKS FROM AUTOMOBILES
Denied Use of Streets for Ad
dresses, Advocates of Suffrage
Want Law Changed.
I'Montint; suffrage banners, fluttering
vrllow ribbons, silver-toned bugles, and
u brass band proclaimed the fact tli.it
yesterday was Kqwal Suffrage Day in
Itichmond, as well as In every other
town and city of the I'nited States.
Throughout the mornitiu forty
woineii. at i-n :- t. lids about the
city, sold cnpi?-:? of the Woman's Jour- 1
nal, and suffrage fhms. buttons and j
postcards. The cordini and sympa- ;
thetic attitude shown by the public !
was regarded as a striking illustration |
of the change in public opinion effected !
during the last few years.
In the afternoon there was a demon- j
stratlon on the south portico of the j
Capitol. After selections by the band. |
and an Introduction by John S. Munco, j
Dr. E. X. Callsch spoke In favor of
woman suffrage.
CALISCH FAVORS
KQl'AI, SOTnAGE
"I have," said Dr. Callsch, "searched ]
carefully, and I am able to discover
but one reason against giving women
the vote in Virginia. That reason is
that it has never been done before. A
couple of years ago, though 1 was
willing to acknowledge all the argu
ments i:i favor of woman suffrage, a
feeling of sentiment held me back.
Since then my sentiment has been
clarified and given truer vision and
clearer Import. I believe that the vote
should lie given to woman as a matter
of simple Justice. AW have no right
to withhold from her that for which
we have struggled, and which we havo
regarded as so necessary to our well
beinp that we have been willing to
sacrifice our lives to attain it."
The next speaker was Miss Joy
Montgomery liig^ins, of N<braska
Although she had be? n hit on the head
by a falling pole on her way to the
meeting and considerably stunned.
Miss Higgins made an excellent ad
11 ress.
"K?iual suffrage," she said, "has gone
beyond the joke stage. It can no
longer be smiled away. A few years
ago men said of women who were
agitating for the vote, 'What are the
dear ladies playing at now? Apparent
ly they must have a fad. The year
before last It was brldpe whist, last
year It was the tanfiro, and now It Is
votes for women." But they overlooked
one fact. Who were the 'dear ladies'
playing bridge with and taneroing
with? Why, men. And they'll be
voting with men, too."
AVAHXS AXTISI'KFHAfilSTS
AfiAIXST Til Kilt ASSOCIATES
Mips Hippins also warned those who
allied themselves with the antisuf
frapists to see who iheir associates
were.
The "antIs" In Nebraska, she said,
were very much horrified when they
discovered that $3,000,000, mysteriously
donated to the cause of fighting woman
suffrage, had been piven by the or
ganized vlco and liquor interests in the
State.
The third speech was made by Miss
Mabel Vernon, of Washington, who
has been speakinp all through the
West and South this winter In behalf
of woman suffrage. Miss Vernon is a
powerful speaker, with a wonderfully
carrying voice and a very vivid per
sonality. She showed that the preat
problems of American government are
not ones of military defense, but
questions concerning industry, finance,
pure foods and the welfare of chil
dren. On all of these subjects women
were not only well informed and in
telligent, but peculiarly interested.
There was another demonstration,
with further speeches. In the Capitol
grounds again last night. The speak
ers wero Leon 15. Whipple, a magazine
writer of considerable note; Miss llig
glns and Miss Vernon. In a spirited
and very effective way. Miss Vernon
told the story of woman's strupplo for
education and emancipation since the
early days, when so much opposition
was aroused by her desire to learn the
alphabet.
SOT I'KHMl'H'KI) TO SPKAK
ON STH10KTS OK CITY
The suffragists of Richmond are
planning to take immediato steps to
secure the passage of an ordinance by
the City Council permitting them to
speak on the streets. Richmond was
the only city of any size or import
ance in the United States in which
there was no public suffrape speaking
on the streets yesterday, it was stated
by suffrage advocates.
When Mrs. B. I?. Valentine, presi
dent of the Equal Suffrage League, ap
plied Friday to Mayor Ainslie for per
mission to speak on the streets, sire
was refused. Although Attorney-Gen
eral John Garland Pollard declared
that there was no law to forbid women
to speak on the streets, Mayor Ainslie
held that neither was there any law
under which he could give them per
mission to do so. The law says that
permission to speak on the public
streets may be granted to people hold
ing religious meetings or venders of
goods. As the suffragists came under
neither designation, he did not see
how he could give such a permit.
In this dilemma, John Hirsehberg, of
the Administrative Board, offered any
of the parks as a meeting place, ami
Governor Stuart offered the Capitol
grounds, which were accepted.
This legal tangle, it was stated, was
duplicated in ho other city of size,
and the league will immediately take
up the question of securing the pas
sage of an ordinance permitting the
use of tho public streots for such pur
poses. . _ r\

Purchase of Revolver.
Shot three times In the body by thej
man he was pursuing, Patrolman J. C. j
Napier continued the chase until he;
had run his mnn down and succeeded I
In arresting him without firing his own'
revolver. The officer's assailant is be
lieved to have been Charles A. Slem-J
nicer, a painter, of 510 North Twenty-!
eighth Street. Slemaker was sent to
the First Police Station, while Napier i
was rushed to the Virginia Hospital
in the patrol wagon. There Pr. \V. H. '
Parker and Dr. St. Julian Oppenhhnerj
examined him. and found that, although i
the three bullets had broken the skin, I
one just above the heart and two in
the neighborhood of the abdomen,
neither of them had penetrated beyond.
Napier was able to return to his beat.;
but was relieved from further duty last
night by Captain Sow.-11.
The shooting occurred about S:2f>
o'clock last night. Napier was pa* roil
ing his beat and had been informed
of a disturbance beforo the house at
filfi North Twenty-eighth Street. He!
crossed to inquire into the nature of
the disorder, knowing that Slemaker!
lived there, that he bore the reputa
tion of being a bad man, and that lie;
had created disorder about the home
of his wife on former occasions.

The officer approached the place, and
was seen by Slemaker almost immedi
ately. Slemaker started at a trot along1
the street, but so.#i broke into a run
when he saw the patrolman following;
him. The oflieer followed the man into'
the mouth of the alley between Twenty- j
seventh and Twenty-eighth Streets, and
there the llrst shots were tired.
"I felt tile bullet strike mo n^ar the!
shoulder almost as soon as T saw thej
flash of the explosion," Napier said last
night. "Slemaker kept on running,!
though, and, as I knew who he was,
iind did not feel any great inconvenience)
from the wound, I kept after him. I
tlrew my pistol, hut did not fire, as I was'
certain I could run the man down. Itj
was not until Slemaker had reached
Twenty-eighth and M Streets, and I was!
right behind him, that ho turned again!
and emptied t\ie pistol at me. Again,
and still again, I felt the slight shock?

man, though, and to disarm him.

CHINA REFUSES NUMBER
OF JAPANESE DEMANDS
Formal Reply Announces Rejection
of Group V. in Its
Entirety.
CONSIDERED MOST IMPORTANT
Recent Revised Draft. Was Declared
to Re Even More Mennclng.
Wishes of Tokyo Regarding Prov- i
lnce of Fukien May Re Granted.
rniCTNG, CHINA, May 1.?China has
definitely refused somo of the most
Important demands made by Japan.
On learning of China's decision, the
Japanese minister, I3ki Illokl, said to
the Chinese Foreign Minister, l?u
Cheng-Hsiang, "I am sorry. 1 believe
my government will bo disappointed."
Tho Chinese Foreign Minister, at a
meeting to-day of representatives of
tho two governments, presented China's
reply in tho shape of a formal no\e.
it announced China's rejection of
Croup V. of the Japnneso demands in
Its entirety.
This group. as originally submitted
to China, contained what are perhaps
the most Important demands made by
Japan. It provided, among' other
things, for employment by the Chinese
government of "forceful Japanese" as
political, financial and military ad
visers; participation by the Japanese
In the police administration of various
important places; Japanese supervision
over manufacture or purchase by
China of munitions of war, anil for the
granting to Japan of concessions for
railway construction and mining and |
linrbor operations.
The new draft of the Japanese de
mands, which was presented on Tues
day, reconstructed Group V. In a mr -
ner which tho Chinese rcpresentati. o
declared was more menacing.
Tho Chinese refusal was modified to
somo extent by an offer to meet the !
revised wishes of Japan In regard to '
the Province of Fukien, providing that j
China shall givo Japan a pledge that
no foreign power shall recelvo a con
cession and no foreign capita) shall he
employed without Japan's consent in
that province.
OCCASIONS MTTI.IO
sritmtisio IX WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, May 1.?Rejection by
China of the so-called general group
of tho Japanese demands occasioned
little surprise in oliicial quarters here.
Tho articles in Group V. have been
looked upon since the beginning by the
Chinese as most vital to the main
tenance of tho territorial integrity and
sovereignty of China.
China early In February practically
rejected the same demands by refusing
to discuss them. The reappearance In |
modified form was believed by the Jap
anese to offer a basis for compromise,
hut China's action to-day indicates
her unwillingness to admit the articles
to discussion even under modification.
Observers hero did not believe that
a crisis had been reached, but that,
with tho expression by each side of its
extremo position, the way would be
opened for new promises of com
promises.
It. is known, however, that Japan
will continue, at nil events, to Insist
on an acceptance of her demands for
railway rights as well as tho article j
relating to the purchase of arms and (
ammunition by China in Japan. One of i
tho most important demands in Group
V. which China now has rejected, and t
of peculiar Interest to American mis
sionaries, Is that nsking for tho Jap
anese to introduce at a future elate
tho propagation of Buddhism In China.
Tho Japanese endeavored to Introduce
that form of worship Into China on an
extensive scale, but the Chinese
dynasty refused to permit it.
