At the Grand Central station a crowd running into the thousands had assembled to meet him and as lie stepped from the train a volley of cheers and an ear splitting noise from horns and other devices sainted him.

The crowd hurried him from the waiting room into an automobile which started downtown followed by a procession of taxicabs bearing a delega tion of 300 men from the Sixth assembly district on the East Side in which Mr. Sulzer has been nominated for the as sembly on the progressive ticket. The route the automobiles took to reach the East Side led past Tammany Hall, in Fourteenth street. The chauffeur of the Sulzer ear brought the machine to a stop.

The governor states that he Is satisfied that, legally speaking, he has authority under the new amendment to make an appointment and that supplementary leg islation is not necessary. As stated, a senator will be named with in the next few weeks, unless the gov ernor abandons his present intention. He feels that be has the authority to irfake the appointment. He feels also that he is entitled to receive a verdict at the hands of the Senate's committee on elec tions and privileges.

CASE AGAINST WATSON THROWN OUT OF COURT fCoDtlnn«r1 from 1’nc. One) to a defense of the government's posi tion that the indictment need merely indicate the alleged obsence passages and not the entire article in which they appeared. He said that he had decis ions to «ipport this, but did not pro duce them in court. In announcing his decision. Judge Foster said: "It appears in this Indictment, in all three counts, that the publication al leged to have been sent through the mulls in violation of the law is an ex tract from a complete article. It is clearly my opinion that the government is required to plead the entire article. The article Is obscene as a whole, or is not obscene, and we cannot take out a few paragraphs here and there and charge them as obscene, and make them the basis of an indictment. It may be that, a paragraph here and there is suf. ficlcnt to impress the whole publication With obscenity, but the defendant is entitled to be charged with sending the complete article. The publication is an entire thing. It Is not a part or ex tract We would be able to Indict a sender of the Bible on this theory. We might take the episode of Potlphar's wife, or the relations of Oman to his brother's widow, or something of that sort, and Indict Just as well. ^lotion Sustained l am not pretending to rule on any other feature of this indictment. The question of whether It is obscene if set out In a dead language is not passed upon. On this view I will sustain the motion to quash. f "It is possible for the government to re-indict and make these entire article s part of the Indictment. I think that is due to the defendant in this case." What course the United States dis trict attorney will pursue still is in doubt, as he has refused so far to dis cuss the matter. Mr. XTatson, before leaving Augusta for Ids home at Thom son, Ga.. expressed himself as satisfied with the outcome of the trial. He ap parently was greatly pleased. Mrs. Pankhurst Opens U. S.

RUSSELL Mrs. Pankhurst was Introduced by Charles Edward Bussell, socialist can didate for mayor. The audience, the majority women, made a demonstration lasting two minutes when ttie English militant leader tried to speak. Women stood on chairs and frantically waved handkerchiefs and .yellow flags. Mrs. Pankhurst closed her eyes and waited for the enthuslusm to die away. Her experiences with the Immigration authorities. Mrs. Pankhurst spoke of with praise, declaring the work at El lis iBland admirably done and the im migrants cared for there far better tiian are the poor, alien and native In Great Britain. "I have been accustomed to pleading my own case in England," she said. "I wanted to go to Washington and plead my own case there. 1 want to thank ‘ those who pleaded for me there, and thank the American public. I do not thank the Washington authorities and I do not think President Wilson wants to be thanked. He would say, 'I did my duty.' "( congratulate the American people who have officials In high places who perform their duties as they see them.' WOMEN FIRST TRIED PERSUASION Women tried persuasion and argument in England, peaceful means that have been effective here, Mrs. Pankhurst said. These falling, violence became necessary. "Nothing was ever got from an English Parliament except through violence," she said. "The machinery of the British government Is an elaborate arrangement of how not to do anything. Whatever social legislation has been secured has been due to 'women s civil war' and much of It was granted to soften the spirit of the suffragettes." The old age pension law, she declared, was granted to save Winston Churchill his cabinet seat. Mention of Churchill, Asquith and I,loyd-George evoked hiss ing. By nature law-abiding, hating violence and disorder. Mrs. Pankhurst said she. had from the beginning felt absolutely guilt lees, for she believed them was no I other way to secure women's rights. , ‘‘The women who have drawn the prizes j in life's lucky bag are the ones who arc- j waging this war," she said; "the women with good fathers, good husbands, good brothers, and who are engaged in useful industries. They are fighting for the ] women of all classes.” Mrs. Pankhnrst discussed equal suf- j frage and white slavery. White slavery she characterized an "more awful than j negro slavery in its worst form ever wan i in the United States. 'In this slavery are slaves of every color, and they are all of one sex. She criticised England's flogging act providing punishment for white slave agents. “Why don't they go the seat of the ' evil?" she said. “Why don't they publish the customers? With no demand there will be no traffic. Give the women the | opprrtiudty to frame the legislation and there will he no white slavery. The gov ernment of the country Is the biggest white slave firm we have." Mrs. Pankhurst answered American critics who have said she came on a, money-making mission. Benjamin Frank lin went to France fe aid for the Ameri can revolution, she reminded, and Irish law-breakers came here to gather money to curry on their campaign.” and Ameri cans responded. She continued: "Why should I not come to ask help? What belies woman in Ungland will h dp worn, n oil over the world."
