BIG VALDOSTA SEWER
HAS AGAIN COLLAPSED

vALDoSTA, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE big sew
er in the western part of the city which
collapsed several years ago and cost the
town thousands of dollars to fix it, has
collapsed again, but the break is not as
bad as it was before and it will be re-
paired in few days.
The sewer is Is feet under the ground
and the break before was caused by
quicksand during a heavy rain. The re-
cent heavy rain caused the collapse this
time. Iron piping was put in place OF
the terra Gotta piping before and the
present break will be repaired in the
same way.
The excavation for this break looks
like railroad cut, as it is 25 feet deep
and is about that wide at the top.

.SUFFRAGETTES lost OUT
IN CALIFORNIA CONTEST
BY a Margin of Several Thou
sand Women Lose Chance
to Vote

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11.-Woman
suffrage has been defeated in Califor-
mia. With but seven precincts yet to
be counted, the majority in San Fran
cisco against granting suffrage to wo-
men is 1928. while in the state at large
the majority in favor Of granting suf-
frage to women will not exceed 5000.
Apparently the fate of woman's suffrage
in California depends upon the vote in
San Francisco. With 1887 out of 2,772 pre-
cincts in the state outside of San Fran
cisco heard from, suffrage for women
mas clear majority of 5.195, the vote
being 5O,5e7 for and 45.S72 against.
In San Francisco. however, the vote
was heavily against equal suffrage.
The registers office up to 9 a. m. had
not been able to tabulate the returns
from the 23 constitutional amendments
voted upon yesterday. but late re-
turns last night indicated that the ma
jority against woman Suffrage would
not exceed 5000 and might drop below
these figures.
Womans suffrage, which from
first returns of the state con-
stitutional amendment election yes
terday was believed to have been de-
feated, made strong gains as the vote
from remote districts was reported and
early today it was believed the amend
ment had an even chance to win.
California voters expressed emphatic
approval of the so-called progressive leg
islation fathered by the present state ad-
all elective officers, including the judici-
a NJ hI1riad under avalanche Of
favorable votes and the amendment pro-
viding for the initiative and referendum
rolled up a big majority.
The amendments providing for the ex-
tension of the powers of the state rail-
road commission over all public utilities
and increasing its rate making powers,
also were approved, as were the amend
ments providing for a divided session of
the legislature, allowing four counties to
have freeholders' charters, fixing four
years as the minimum term for the use
of public text books, providing for the
establishment of inferior courts and MAX
ing the clerk of the supreme court an
appointive pfice.
One of the features shown by the
returns was that in San Francisco, where
the suffragists have carried on an ardent
and we'll managed campaign, a majority
of 1900 against woman's suffrage was
shown In the count of three-fourths of
the precincts. Returns up to midnight
indicated a majority Of 10000 against suf-
frage, but from that hour returns from
interior cities and from the southern
part of the state steadily cut down the
anti majority
Suffrage leaders here declare today that
they were in no way discouraged over
the apparent defeat of the proposal
amendment granting the suffrage to the
women of California, and that plans al
ready were under way to put the issue
to another testimony under the initiative
and referendum amendment, which car
ried in yesterdays election by heavy
majority.
