day afternoon, In conformity with the
decision of the supreme court rem

plred Feb. 8, but owing TO the muddle
growing out of the defects in the
primary law, the supreme court saw
At to grant an extension.

ETHIOPIAN IN
WO0OP|LE APPEARS
Miller's Opposition To Flowers Bill
Said To Be in Interest Of School
Board Gang.

Senator Guy A. Miller's opposition
to the Flowers bill strengthening out
the primary tangle and allowing wo-
men to vote for school inspectors IN
this springs primaries is explained by
anttMartindsie 8eople as q direct xc
tempt to protect the Martfndale gane
on the school board.
Miller explains his attitude by say
Ing that the bill allows unenrolled wo-
men to vote In the primaries, and that
IL 1t were passed the polls would be
crowded with women who had not
been residents Of the city or district
the requisite length of time. This
point was brought up when the bill
was put on passage In the house last
week, and was s1explained so clearly by
Rep. Flowers that the bill passed
unanimously.
Miller's alliance with the Martin
dale crowd Is pointed out. He Is In
the same law office as Alex. ]. Groes-
beck, close friend OF Edwin Hen
derson, Supt. Martindale's brother-in.
law and the ally of Judge Connolly
who has engineered previous elections
for the Martindale faction.
That allowing women to vote would
wipe out the Martindae faction Is
freely stated. They turned the trick
In several wards two years ago, when
the anti Martindale people almost Sc.
cured q majority. and they are ex.
pected to help elect anti-Martindale

MCCARTHY IN EARNEST.
Alderman Says He Intends To Push
Hat Pin Measure.

Aid. Charles McCarty, bachelor
and inoffensive looking, Is In for a
strenuous experience next Monday
morning when his ordinance prohibit
ing the wearing Of long or unguarded
hat-pins will come up for a public
hearing before the council ordinance
committee.
McCarty told the committee, Mon
day. that he had been jabbed near the
eve one day and in the left cheek the
next, and did not feel disposed TO
turn the other cheek. A man In Iowa,
he said, had had the sight OF an eye
destroyed. The members Of the COM
mittee jected with McCarty, but he
SAYS that he will attend the public
hearing and meet all comers In de-
hate. He characterizes the hat-pins
as dangerous weapons.
The committee took up the peti-
ton of a number OF farmers and mar
ket gardeners for change In the
market ordinance so as to allow the
leasing OF stalls on the eastern mar
ket by the year or quarter, lessees to
have the stalls reserved for them till
5 a. m. A large delegation OF market
gardeners was present to urge the
measure. and IL was advocated by
Aid. Schultz and Koenig. The com
mittee hesitated for the reason that
there are fewer stalls than applicants,
and the measure would force some OF
them out. The matter was taken
under advisement.

TAFT BACK FROM
RECIPROCITY TOUR
Test Vote in House Shows Easy
Working Majority for Agreement

ION that the bill will have better
chances now than II 1t IL allowed to
wait until the various sources OF op-
position have time to concentrate.
He believes that the results OF his
trip cannot be judged fully as yet.
He feels he put his best foot for
ward. and realizing that his two-day
campaign was made In the camp or
the opposition, he will be satisfied
with any gain, however slight.
A test vote In the house this after
noon showed an easy working major
ity in favor OF the Canadian reci-
procity agreement. II was on mo-
ton by Rep. Mccall (Rep., Mass.).
that the house 60 into committee OF
the whole, to consider the reciprocity
bill, and the motion carried by ls6
to 121. The vote was complicated
slightly by the fact that this, under
the rules, is District Of Columbia day.
and members of the District commit
tee voted against the motion. without
regard to wether they favored reci-
procity.
Representative Hill (Rep., Conn.,. a
member of the ways and means COM
mittee, was the first speaker In favor
of the trade agreement. Practically
every seat on the floor was occupied
and the uproar was almost deafening
