' Fresident "Wilson refused to urge equal
suffrage legislation upon Congress in a
definite statement to elchty-clght euffra
rists who called on him yesterday after-
soon In high hope of obtaining promise
of his support for the Federal amend
ment to enfranchise women. Disappoint
ment among the suffragists was as keen
as the President's positive denial was un
expected.
In explanation of his refusal, the Pres
ident said he was not at liberty to urge
policies upon Congress which had not had
the organic consideration of those for
whom be stood as spokesman.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of
the National American Woman Suffrage
Association, spoke for the suffragists,
whose number included representatives
from every State. She asked the Presi
dent to fend a special message to Con
cress, urging submission of a Federal
amendment enfranchising women or, to
Include such recommendation In another
message, or to use the administration s
influence to secure the establishment of
a suffrage committee in the House of
Representatives.

Upon the President's decided refusal to
take any step In support of their "cause,"
Dr. Shaw appealed to him to name the
person to whom the women can turn for
a spokesman. The President made
paraphrased application of the story of
John Alden, telling the deputation inai
he believed them capable of speaking lor
themseltes.
While President Wilson sought to Im-
Dress UDOn his visitors that he did not
consider himself at liberty to obtrude his
Drlvate convictions upon Congress, he In
formed them that ho had recommended
the creation of a suffrage committee In
the House to a member of the House
Rules Committee, who had asked for his
opinion '
Investigation of the Washlrgton "red
light" district was made by a band of
suffragists in the afternoon. These women
explained after their tour among the dis
orderly houtes that fringe the House
Odice Building, the Capitol, the Postotllce
Department, and those that lie almost
within the thadow of the White House,
that they were "deeply horrified with
what they saw."

"The business of the nation Is carried
on In the midst pf 'white slae' traffic."
said Mrs. Thomas W. Hepburn, presi

leaders of the tour. "The fact that
such conditions can exist In the Immedi

and Capitol Is Inconceivable. We hope
for the sake of the reputation of the
National Capital, that the 'secret caucus

Citizens of East Washington Hear Dr.
Davidson and Others
Speak.
A movement In which Dr. William M.
Davidson, retiring superintendent of pub
lic schools, participated was launched
last night for a new Eastern High School
at a meeting In the assembly room of the
school. The meeting was attended by
citizens of East Washington who are
deeply Interested In this project.
Dr. Davidson recalled his first visit to
the Eastern High School and the favor
able Impression it created upon him. He
referred to the Inadequacy of the present
buildings to accommodate the number ot
pupils who wish to attend. He pointed
out that Washington. In proportion to its
population, has more public school pupils
than any other city of Its size or larger In
the country. He declared that It was
with great reluctance and deep regret
that he was leaving Washington.
Henry P. Blair, president of the board
of education, urged the erection of a new
high school to supplant the present one.
He said he believed that it the proper fa
cilities were offered the enrollment would
be increased to $00 or 1.000 pupils. Mr.
Blair stated that he believed there was
a splendid chance of Congress appro
priating the SIjO.OOO which has been re
quested for the purpose of purchasing
the site for the new buildings.
Others who spoke were Dr. Wlllard S.
Small, principal of the Eastern High
School; D. C. Roper, First Assistant Post
master General; D. A. Edwards, president
of the Federation of Citizens' Associa
tions, and M. F. O'Donohuc
Representative Smith, of Idaho, who
was prevented from making a speech be
cause of official business, stated in a let
ter that was read before the meeting
that he would support the appropriation

Explains Good to Be Accomplished
Speaking of the good to be accom
plished by the congress. Its president,
Edward H. Clement, of Boston, Mass.,
said:
"This congress has brought together a
strong body of people, strong In the hope
of regulating vivisection in the United
States of America. For my part I would
like to see It abolished, but of course
strict restriction, so to speak, will satisfy
us for the present. The anti-vlvlsectlon
movement has taken- great noia in Eng
land, and Is winning strong and wonder
ful support In the United States.
"Most of the vivisection practiced .to
day Is perfectly barren work and incurs
useless torture. Every practitioner of
vivisection should be known to author!
ties, and his efforts closely watched for
Illegal and Inhuman practices.
"There can be no doubt but that human
vivisection, so far as experimenting with
serum, serms. and vaccines are con
cerned. Is extensively employed on the
quiet In hospitals all over the world. The
evidences of this can be found In the
reports of medical and other learned so
cieties whicn the general puoiic seiaora
reads.
"For every triumph of a serum there
has been scores of failures at a cost
of human and other life.
Many Interesting delegates are here
from foreign countries. Among them
is Miss Llnd at Hageby. of London
England, who recently conducted a fa
mous libel case for the purpose ot ven-
tlllatlnir the subject of vivisection.
Speaking of this case last nignt, ane
said:

the case technically. I expected to do
so. and It bared the cold fscts to every

much good In this work."

Prima donna of the Chicago-Philadelphia

double compliment of declaring that their
language Is the language of song" and
proving it by singing several pfeces in
English.
"They tell you that English Is not the
language for song," said Miss Teyte.
"They tell you that foreign languages
are musical; and tnat tne English lan
guage is Incapable of high, aristlc musi
cal expression. Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth."
'Of course almost every well-known
opera is written In Italian. French, or
German. And most of the European
teachers or singing are ot thoso nation
alities. All this has kept the English
language In the background. This
wrong. English is tne real ianguago for
song."
The affair at-the club yesterday was ar
ranged to give the women friends ot Its
members an opportunity to wmper good

this was a "farewell performance" she
