OLYMPIA, Feb. 24.-The woman
suffrage bill which proposes an am
endment to the constitution to give
votes to women passed the senate
yesterday by vote of 80 to 8. After
weeks Of hard work, during which
time the task of plotting the bill safe
ly through both houses of the legis-
lature seemed insuperable, the lobby
OF women sat in the gallery yesterday
and waved handkerchiefs when the
vote was ANNOUNCED. There was no
hand-clapping from the lobby and
no demonstration of exultation other
than the fluttering cambric. So i'm
pressed were the senators by the calm
self-possession of the women that
they burst into applause and were
raped to order by the president.
Advices received from California
say that Gov. Cosgrove is rapidly re-
gaining health and strength. His
recovery is gradual, but he has had
no serious relapses to his old con-
dition since returning to California
after his trip to Olympia last month.
For the past few days Mr.. Cosgrove
has been confined to the hotel, ow-
IA., ~ ,na 4A.4.AIeAV Weather which
prevails in the Southern state. The
climate is not having any ill-effect
on him, and the doctors of the insti-
tuition, who at one time feared that
Mr.. Cosgrove's illness would be his
last, state that he will win his plucky
fight for health and strength.
Representative Bell Of Pierce Sue
ceeded in getting through his county
advertising bill, over which there
was fight waged earlier in the ses-
sion. The bill is amended somewhat
making it necessary to submit the
question to the people after 1910. 1t
provides for the levying of tax of
one-tenth of one mill in each county
for the purpose of advertising the ad-
vantages of the counties, the amount
\
ature and the expense of circulating
it.
The house committee on public
morals will recommend a bill author
izing the county commissioners to IL
cense pool and billiard halls located
without the limits Of an incorporated
oif 1xyf1l 20 ~
port on a bill by Representative
French, which requires school teach
ers to devote at least thirty minutes
in each month to teaching their pu-
pills the principles of patriotism.
The house judiciary committee will
recommend that Chehalis county be
granted another superior judge and
that King and Snoh0mish county be
made into a separate judicial district
Clallam and jefferson counties are
given another judge. Reciprocity for
lawyers is proposed in a bill intro
duced by l.. p. Edge today. Lawyers
who have practiced in other states
for two years may be admitted to the
Washington bar on motion before the
supreme court.
The admission is made conditional
for one year. If during that time an
applicant has been found to be con-
cerned in shady practice in other
states. the temporary certificate may
that attorneys in adjoining states
may be admitted to practice in WASH
ington under the same conditions as
Washington lawyers are admitted to
practice in those states. This sec
ton OF the Dill is directed at Idaho,
which IequiIes that Washington at
torneys must employ Idaho attorneys
to assist them when practicing in the
state
