While tlio not ire was regarded among 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.

Suffrage Demonstration Is Held in Front of State Capitol. 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\ Equal Suffrage Demonstration in Front of State Capitol ^ ?Photo by Fowter.

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.

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.

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. $4?Week-End nnltbnore and Ttetiirn? f* York Hlver I.lne. effective Saturday, May 1, and eentinuiiiK everv Friday and Satur day dining Auminer: return following Mon day.
