sentative Galbraith of Calumet, who
was absent yesterday when the house
passed the senate bill designed to pre-
vent the requirement of the Osceola,
Allouez and Centennial copper mines

pany, today made a desperate effort to
have the house recall the bill from the
governor. His motion to this effect,
however, was tabled.
Calls 1t Standard OH Measure.
In fierce denunciation Of the bill,
Galbraith asserted that it was the plan
Of the Standard Oil interests, who are
opposed to the Calumet and Hecla, to
block the latter company. He said
the Osceola stockholders had chosen
by an avalanche of proxies to go under
the Calumet and Hecla management
instead of the Standard.
Protested Against Branding.
Galbraith declared that IL the bill
was not recalled 1t would be reported
in New York that the Standard had
"gobbled up the Michigan legislature"

maticaIly, Did Friends Get Chance

Exactly Same Rights as the Men.

London, March S.-The women's en-
reimbursement bill, which came up fol
second reading in the house today
and which was introduced by Dickin
son, liberal, although practically iden
teal with the measure introduced by
James Keir Hardie, socialist. last year
has evoked far greater interest.
Same Terms az Men.
The bill simply provides that women
shall have the franchise upon the
same terms upon which it is now
granted to men. The militant tactics
of the women suffragists of recent
months, and their bold raids upon the
house of commons. have given the
question a prominence which it hither
to had not attained.
Some Women Barred.
The house was crowded when the
debate on the proposed be.
gan, but only women whose good be
havior was guaranteed by the mem
perS Oh were permitted 10
enter the gallery.
The Usual Arguments.
The debate was a repetition of the
familiar arguments for and against
female suffrage and there was com
plete divergence from the usual party
lines.
Talked Bill to Death.
An attempt vas made to close the
discussion, but the speaker declined
to accept the motion and the oppo
nents Of the bill held the floor until 6
o'clock, when the sitting was closed
automatically. They thus won the
day, as this practically kills the bill
for the present session.
