PROBABLY SHUT OUT
WOMEN FROM CLUB
Virginia Club in an Unusual
Dilemma

Suffolk, Va, March 3O.-With tie
vote on the proposition of allowing
the wives of members to sleep in its
bungalow beside Lake Drummond, in
the heart Of the Dismal Swamp, the
Suffolk Deer Club, whose nineteen
members are bankers, professional men
and leading sportsmen, is in trouble,
and there are threats Of Withdrawals
unless one more vote for women be
secured.
The rules now permit women by day,
but bar them at night, and a change is
sought because some members are not
allowed by their wives to stay al
might unless accompanied by them. The
.clubmen voted nine each way. The
nineteenth, an unmarried man, has re-
fused to cast his decisive vote. The
bungalow is surrounded by a swamp
and miles of jungles infested with rep
tiles and wild beasts.
