WASHINGTON, "March 6. Tales of In dignities and affronts from the crowds, and Indifference and laughing comments from the police -were recounted today be fore tho senate committee Investigating the alleged lack of protection given the great suffrage pageant of last Monday. Women prominent In national affairs and In suffrage councils told of their bar. osscd progress through surging crowds ot men and boys whom the police, they said, made little effort to check. Their stories as to the general, attitude of tho Dollce were endorsed by Hear Admiral Van Rcypen, retired, and George P. Bow- erman, librarian of the Carnegie library of Washington, whp "appeared as wit nesses against the police department. Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of tho chil dren's bureau of the Department of Com merce nnd Labor, one of the marchers In the suffrage parade, said the few police she saw seemed to be "merely standing In the front row ot tho spectators," Mrs. Harriet. Taylor Upton of Warren, O., in charge of the Ohio division of the parade. declared that crowds of "youngish men surged Irt eo close; that the marchers could hardly walk two abreast; that "good-natured drunken men" pushed against the marchers' lines without re straint by the police, and that the few officers In sight did nothing to protect the procession. ConKcena Order Not Obeyed. Congress had passed a special act or dering tho Washington police department to "prevent any Interference with tho procession." In a statement furnished to the com mittee at Its opening session Major Rich ard Sylvester, superintendent of police, declared his department had given the parade all the protection It could with the limited number of policemen avail able, And that the disorder on the streets was due to the breaking of cables along the route and the unruly character of the crowd. Bursts of laughter came frequently as women told of their experiences. Mrs. Upton said there were some elderly -women In the Ohio division and she was afraid a "good naturcd drunken man" would fall against them. "So we all hurried and got past and he fell back tn Wisconsin or Wyoming. or somewhere, back there," she said. I She declared the police lRUghed at tho scenes and made no effort to help. Police KrlKhten YoniiR- CJlrls. Mrs. Agnes M. Jenks of Concord, N. H who had her daughter and other young girls with her In tho New Hamp shire division, declared uniformed police men had encournfted the crowd In Its disorder and that she had been so alarmed at the action of the officers toward the young girls that the children were placed In the center of the proces sion, where they were protected by older women. '.'One 'policeman looked as though he" was going to take hold of tho young girls, who were marching with us," she said. "Wo were more frightened by the police than by the crowds." Mrs. Cornelia Odenhelmcr of Jessup, Md said sne had walked the length of the avenua a short time prior to the starting of the parade and that the crowds were then back on the sidewalk. Mrs. Abble Scott Baker of Washington, one of the organizers of the parade, de clared the street had been allowed to become congested just before the parade started; and that lack ot advance proT tection had made It impossible then to clear the avenue. "It was as though wo walked Into the neck of n, tunnel." said Mrs. Baker. 'Orte policeman, to whom I appealed, stood with his arms fplded nnd said: Oh, the crowd Is doing very well.' " Ugh!
