MLLSQUESTIONOF rtocal Suffrage Leaders Say There Are More Important 1 Matters at Stake. : "The question of dress does not enter ..Into suffrage At all. It Is a tntng tni does not concern the Intellect, "and whether suffrage workers wear jewelry or hobble skirts or whether they1 dress like Hottentots does not affect the question of the right of women to vote."

March 3. Mrs. Trout. 'xvho Is a handsome woman, is said to ' be non-irapariial to fine clothes. At the conference In St. Louts she appears to have been taken strongly to task for a liking for "Jewelry and fine clothes " and her belief "In a practice of woman s w'tles" as the most effective means of getting the" vote from mi," according to reports of the meeting. Dr. Anna E. Blount is said to have spurned these things and designated Mr3. Trout as a "suffer."

SELL TURTLE GERMS ... , W. E. D. Stokes, 'John Stuart, and W. H. de Fontain Will Disseminate "Cure." NEW. YORK, April 6. W. E. D. Stakes, proprietor of the,. Hotel An sonla; John Stuart, a promoter.'and Wade Hampton de Fontaine,- of rsa West Seventy-fifth street, who are interested In. a syndicate which they hope will obtain control of the sale In this country of Dr. Frledmann's turtle vaccine for tube.rculosis, tojd yesterday how they cams to form the concern. Those who are seeking to Interest Dr. Friedmann In their plans realize, with the Berlin physician. It It said, that all attempts to form a syndicate,, -even, though the -avowed' object -Is- to- putvthe--remlj--v1tfTln-rcach of the poor, must await the re sult of the Government tests which are now being made. While Dr. Friedmann, is sajdtto ap prove the general plans for the dis tribution of Jiis preparation through" this syndicate, he has not entered In to any agreement with the promoters of the concern, he say?. It was Mr. Stokes who first told of the formation of the syndicate. His statements were confirmed last night by Mr. Stuart, who said that the syndi cate would gtve the vaccine to the poor at little cost. Dr. Friedmann could not be inierviewed today, but a week ago he said that a plan for the distribution of the vaccine was under consideration. He denied then that an attempt would be made to commer cialize his discovery. Former District Attorney Asa Bird Gardiner, according to those Interested, drew up the papers for the concern. It was Mr. Stuart who conceived the Idea of forming the company. He called to see Mr. de Fontaine some time ago and asked him if he could obtain JlCu, 'XO "by nightfall" to start the company. He said that this done he believed he could obtain control of the vaclne. The money was obtained. They met Mr. Gardiner in the library of the Lawyers' Club and there an agreement was drawn up. The plan calls for the establishment of a san' taiium or school here where physicians will be taught how to administer the vaccine. There poor patients will ba treated. PolntK of distribution will be established. Hospitals which treat the oooi will receive a rebate upon the vaccine, and so cheap will the prep aration be that it is planned to sell enough for the -treatment of three per sons for a dollar.

SYNDICATE WILL iSCOUTS GET $3,000 FROM "TUG" SALES Whole District Shows Interest in Boys' Organization by Liberal Purchases. With weather, women sufffraglsts, who In this way shoVed their gratitude for the help given them on March 3, and nearly the whole population of,the District assisting them in every way, the Boy Scouts made their second tag day In Washington successful in every particular. More than $3,000 was taken in from the sale of tags, and the scout management had the gratification or seeing .that the best element of Wash ington approved of the movement. The sale of tags began at 7 o'clock yesterday morning and was continued until 7 o'clock last night. During that time 1,100 boys were in .every- section of the city and their efforts gave every body the opportunity of showing their approval of the organization. No dif fidence was observed on the part of the i scouts. They were out to sell tags and 'No' was a word which they did not understand. The tag was usually sold. The suffragettes, who observed the manful efforts of the scouts to 'preserve order along Pennsylvania avenue during their parade were particularly helpful to the scouts. There was scarcely an advocate In the District who did not but at least one tag and many of them invested enough to have made a shield of the pasteboard card. The scouts who sold tags under the su pervision of Socutmaster Vernon Bailey led the" whole organization In point of collections. The total amount taken in by this detail was J7S1.17. The highest Individual collection made was that of Kenneth Livingstone, who sold $39.30 worth of tags. Young Livingstone Is the son of Colin "H. Livingstone, presi dent of the National Boy Scout organ ization. As soon as the sale of tags closed, at 7 o'clock, each scout tied up his bag of coin and nut It In the care of the scout masters In charge of his division.
