Suffrage Demonstrations Trying Tem
per of Washington.
Special to Times-Republican,
Watshington, Aug. 17—From outward
appearances Washing
tone temper is be
ing tried by tjie resumption of suffrage
demonstrations at the White House.
For the last two weeks there have .been
semi-weekly parades of the suffragists
NjE' from their headquarters, flanking
•'i&S Lafayette park, down past the White
House to the 'Lafayette monument,
lijfe which is' directly opposite the main
.jffi White House gate.
'.The procedure has been the same
every day a demonstration was staked.
From twenty to thirty women carrying
banners,marched down the broad side
walk opposite the White House until,
they reached the Lafayette, momimenf.
They circled the monument and climb
ed the. step to the monument's base,
ith a squad of ponceirten standing
und.waiting for the first speaker to
ch .a «uffrage speech. wbich was
igsal for fee arrest of the''demon
ora and another march to tbe black
marias lined up along the curb. It has
been a farcical proceeding, stupid both
on the part, of the woman and the po
lice.
After their ro.l(^6se from tho pollcc
station, Wednesday niKlit, twenty-nine
suffragists niatic a second demonstra
tions. in tiiis they wore, successful,"lor
the first time in putting their upeeehes
over. They hiuf not annnunced this
demonstration with hand bills ns tnr.v
hud the previous ones and the police
were not there.
Eunice Huff, of Des Moines, was the
only woman roughly handled in the
Wednesday night demonstration. A
plain clothed policeman attempted to
arrest her, and questioning hin authori
ty, she resisted. She slipped In the
melee and* was picked on bodily and
carried to the patrol. The suffragists
lack two votes to pet their bill thru the
senate. Tho demonstrations are frank
ly intended to Influence the president
into forcing the votes thov need. Fome
nting the president apparently ia dis
inclined to do.
PROBABLY ON SPY MIS&ION.
The order balks what is bHievfd by
army intolliKence OfTieerB to have bc«-t«
a plan by Gruber' to enter the military
service of the United State^ with a view
to providing enemy countries with' in
formation of military value.
It was the. draft' which finally
brought the former Teuton seamon to
ltght. CiviI^authoriUc« ^.t Carroll, la.,
arrested him as a draft register without
knowing his Identity, and brought him
to camp with several others.
Here he declared his wiltingness to
serve in the military forces and gave
plausible, excuses for having failed to
report for service to his local board. He
was assigned to compkny tour or tn«
depot brigade.
His strong German accent and the
fact that he admitted Munich. Germany
as his birth place resulted in his actions
being carefully watched.
When officers reported Gruber to the
department of Justice a comparison of
data showed him* to be the much-want
ed sailor from the crew of the Vater

Investigation of Gruber's action also
showed him to be on intimate terms
with Otto Greenburg, another member
of tWe otow of the same- boat who was
arrested in De-s Moines and later in
terned for .the duration of the war.
