uy Of Good Women Want 10 Vote.

ALBANY. July i2.-The State Senate to-
day finally and definitely killed the
woman g suffrage proposition by refusing
in committee of the whole, by vote OF
10 ayes to II noes,to advance the Stilwell
bill proposing an amendment to the consti-
, tuition giving women the right to vote.
A mot ion OF Senator Stilwell made sub
sequently in the Senate to disagree with
the report was lost by vote of Is ayes
TO 10 noes.
Thus the battle of the suffragists for
1911 is over and the bevy of votes-for-
women advocates who held mass meet
ings in Albany last night and half filled the
Senate gallery to-day went back TO their
homes satisfied that there was no further
use trying to get the right Of franchise
from the present Legislature.
Those who voted for the advancement
OF the bills were Senators Bayne, Burd,
Cronin, Duhamel. Fiero. Griffin. Harte,
Heacock. Long, Loomis, Newcomb, Platt,
Pollock. Stilwell and Sullivan.
The Stilw ell resolution came up as a
special order in general orders and Senat or
Stilwell and Senator Newcomb began the
fight to have the proposition advanced
TO the okier of final passag ge. Senator
Hinman Of Bnghamton made vigorous
protest against the bill

EX-GOVERNOR NOT INDICTED.
Reno Paper MisinfOrmed as 10 Arrest Of
Former Bank board Members.

RENO, New, July l2.-The old State
banking board was censured in the report
Of the Eureka Grand Jury last week, but
indictments were returned against the
bank officers only and they only we're
arrested. The following editorial in to-
days Reno Gazette best explains the sit
ua, ion:
1T is quite certain that the story pub
lishcd in the Gazette last Saturday after
noon and in other papers on Sunday
morning in which il was stated that former
Gov Dickerson and his associates on the
former banking board had been arrested
was untrue. The story was printed
on the basis of statements made by per-
SONS who would naturally be supposed to
know, but il has developed tha, not only
have no arrests of the board memb ers
been made but it is a question if they
have been included in the indictments.
1T is known that ten indictments
were brought Nine have been accounte ed
for and warrants under them have been
issued There IL no news of the tenth
and in that connection there have been
some startling rumors
Tho GdgeHC is eager that Justice he
done in this unfortunate hank affair and
this Same regard for what is just prompts
il to express regret that it was misin-
formed to such an extent as to induce il
I q publish the sensational article of Satur-
day. in which il stated that former Gov
ernor Dickerson and his associates had
been arrested under such indictments"

ron SIMPLIFIED TAXATION.
Gov. Dix Asks for Changes In special
Franchise and Corporation Tax Laws.

ALBANY. July ~ Gov Dix sent his
lature to-day. He calls the attention of
the houses to two bills already introduced
and recommends their passage. One of
| the bills concerns taxation Of special
franchises and the other provides for a
simpler method of taxing corporation
| franchises. The Governor says he wants
the law in this latter respect to be so
simple that any business man can figure
| out his own assessment and not be obliged
to turn to lawyer or apply TO the courts.
Laws on both subjects ever since they
were passed have been fruitful of litiga-
tion. says the Governor. or these the
law covering taxation Of special franchises
has been interpreted by the courts SO
| that in most particulars it is ineligible
and serves its purpose.
But in one point the law is so phrased
as to throw unnecessary and constant
work upon the courts This concerns the
equalizing Of special franchise valuations
TO the same percentage Of full value as
that given to ordinary real estate by local
assessors in making out their tax rolls.
The courts have decided. says the Gov
ernor. that such equalization is right but
in practice it has become necessary for
owners of special franchises to get out
writs Of certiorari before the lower valua-
alton is entered on the tax rolls
The Governor recommends that the
State Board of Tax Commissioners he EN- :

JAPAN TREATY CHANGES.
London ''Times" Sees Way Opened 10
England for Arbitration with Us.

Special Cdb,e Despatch 10 THE SrS.
LONDON. July 13 The Times of this
morning. assuming the correctness of the
reported notifications Of the Anglo
Japanese treaty. welcomed them as the
first fruits of the new departure in the
conduct OF British foreign affairs inaugu-
rated at the imperial conference last
month when IL was decided to consult all
the governments OF the Empire on matters
Of foreign policy
The Times points out that the conclu-
sion Of general arbitration treaty by any
country already bound by such an alliance
as are Great Britain and Japan is more
than incongruous. II assumes that if
reported notifications have been agreed
upon other articles OF the treaty are also
revised
The Times concludes that it will be
most encouraging II the first outcome oi
the new principle laid down in coro-
nation year shall be the modification and
prolongation of the alliance with Japan
on terms facilitating the conclusion Of
arbitration with the United States.
