MAY REPEAL SUFFRAGE ACT
Failure of Women to File Campaign
Expenses Renders the Measure
Liable to Withdrawal.

Acknowledged of the measure
submitting an amendment to the
state constitution providing for
woman's suffrage at the special ses-
sion of the Legislature, may be the
result of the opinion given the secre-
tary of state by Attorney General
Bancroft. This step may be taken be-
cause of the failure of those working
for the passage of the amendment
to file statements of contributions
and expenses of the campaign
According to the opinion of the at
torney general both the suffragettes
and the anti-suffragettes come with
in the corrupt practices law and have
been operating within it's provision
for the last six months. The fail
ure to file the required statements
makes the women conducting the
campaigns liable to the penalties of
the law.

not secure more than seven out OF the
ninety delegates New Y ork state is en-
titled to in the national convention.
One of of the worst ballot mixups In
years marked the first trial of the new
primary law, and this is given as the
ground for a proposed contest by the
Roosevelt forces. A demand is re-
ported to have been made upon Cover
nor Dix for another election.

PLAN TO PREVENT
SOFT COAL STRIKE
Miners May Drop All Demands E%'
cept Wage increase-Will Sug-
qest Five Per Cent.

Cleveland, o. crisis In the
coal situation, determining whetn-
er more than 100000 miners in the
bituminous and anthracite fields shall
strike on April l or suspend unui
new wage agreements can be erected,
is expected this week. John p. White,
president of the union, and the dis
trict presidents are considering pro-
posal that the bituminous miners drop
all their demands except that for an
increase of pay, and that they ask for
five per cent. instead of ten.
This compromise has not been de-
cided upon definitely, but it was con-
sidered one loophole by which there
would be no strike on April l or sus-
pension of operations until new wage
agreements can be effected.
The union officials are in doubt
whether such compromise would be
approved at a referendum vote.
Members of the executive board and
policy committee of the United Mine
Workers of America are preparing to
draw up recommendations for a ref
erendum vote by the union.
The union officials say an agreeable
adjustment of the bituminous dispute
would have much influence in secur-
ing for the 175,000 anthracite miners
settlement of their differences.
London. The first aggressive
move on the part of the govern
ment looking toward the settle
ment of the coal strike took place
when the Ninety-third Highlanders re-
ceived orders to hold themselves in
readiness to proceed to any part Of
the empire.
This order is believed to signify
the governments intention of ending
the labor disaffection by force if nee
essary, and it is believed that many
other regiments will receive similar
orders within the next IL hours.

DENEEN CALLS EXTRA SESSION.
Illinois SoIons to Pass on the Pres'-

Chicago.-Governor Deneen, at his
Chicago headquarters, issued a call
for special session of the legislature,
for the purpose Of passing an emer-
gency amendment to the primary act
to make a preferential vote on presi-
dent possible on April 9.
The governor called his secretary
by long-distance telephone and in
structed him to summon al. of the
members of the assembly by tele-
graph, fixing the hour for meeting at
5 p. M March 26.
Two bills have been prepared for
introduction in house and senate. Sem
ator Samuel A. Ettelson of Chicago
has prepared one and Representative
Lucas Butts of Peoria the other.
Neither has made public the provi-
sions of his bill, but it is said that
both carry the statewide primary
idea rather than the preference vote
by congressional districts.

DRIVERS LOSE WAGE RAISE.
Fifty Railroads Refuse Engineers De.
mand for More Pay.

New York. The conference
committee of managers of fifty rail-
roads east of Chicago and north
nf the Norfolk & Western railroad
and their locomotive engineers ar
rived at deadlock over the question
OF an increase in and standardization
of wages. The managers notified the
brotherhood that they refused to &C
cede to the demands of the men for
an increase in pay.
In their answer to the demands Of
the engineers the managers showed
that the proposed increase in pay
would amount to a total annual in
crease of $7,553,792 or 1858 per cent,
the equivalent Of a lien over first
mortgages of $1SS,844,S1S of four per
cent. securities. The growing traffic,
they assert, has overtaxed the exist
ing facilities and to grant the in
crease would be to make it impos-
sible for many roads to raise money
needed for betterments. With some,
the managers say, the increase would
spell bankruptcy.

ORDER ROADS To
MODIFY TARIFFS
Commerce Commission Decree
Sets New Rate Principle.
BODY IS DIVIDED a TO 3
Majority's Opinion Is Vigorous Asscr.
ton of Paramount Authority OF
National Government Over
All Interstate Traffic.

WASHINGTON. - A far-reaching prin-
ciple was established by the interstate
commerce commission in an opinion
made public here, when it was held
that a railroad must adjust their
freight charges so that justice will be
done between communities. regardless
of state borders.
II a railroad makes a low rate upon
traffic wholly within state, even
when forced to do SO by a state COM
mission, it must accord the same rate
to interstate traffic moving under sub
stantially similar conditions.
The principle was laid down by a
vote of to 3.
The minority held that the powers
of congress were usurped by the ma
jority opinion and that the remedy for
such a situation should be applied
through additional legislation In the
case of the railroad commission OF
Louisiana against the st. Louis South
western railway and other carriers op-
Grating between Louisiana and Texas.
The case practically prec1pltated
conflict between federal and state au-
thority over the control OF interstate
traffic
: The opinion of the majority OF the
interstate commission, prepared ana
handed down by Commissioner Lane
is a definite assertion of the suprem-
acy of national regulatory authority
over the powers exercised by any
state
1t is the first time this assertion has
been made distinctly by the commls-
sion. In making 1t Chairman Prouty
and Commissioners Clark and Meyer
concurred with Commissioner Lane
and Commissioners Clements, Harlan
and McChord dissented.
The proceeding brought by the Lou
tsiana commission placed in issue the
right of interstate carriers to d1scrlm-
mate in favor of state traffic and
against Interstate traffic.
The gravamen of tie complaint,
the opinion says, lis THAI the defend
ant carriers make rates out OF Dallas
and other Texas points into eastern
Texas which are much lower tnan
those which they extend into Texas
from Shreveport, La. A rate OF 6o
cents carries first-class traffic to the
eastward from Dallas a distance OF
100 miles, while the same rate OF 6O
cents will carry the same class of traf-
fic only tifty-five miles into Texas
from Shreveport.
The low rate within the state OF
Texas was forced upon the railroads
by the Texas railroad commission in
furtherance Of policy to protect and
promote the jobbing interests OF
Texas.
The Louisiana commission and that
states commercial interests declared
that Louisiana was being discriminate
ed against because OF the exaction OF
the higher rates from Shreveport west
ward and demanded an adjustment OF
the rates.
The contention of Louisiana was sus-
tanned by the commission absolutely.

MEXICAN REBELS
MIN BIG FIGHT
Rout Federal Forces in Four-Day
Battle Near Iiminez.
MANY PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Governments Commanding General
Reported to Have Committed Sui
eide After Defeat-SeveraI
Federal Officers Killed.

Mexico City, Mex. - A decisive
battle between Mexican federal
troops and rebels in the vicinity of
Jiminez ended yesterday This is re-
ported from many sources. These re-
ports, however, are contradictory as to
the result. The Mexican government
has received an official dispatch to
the effect that the rebels were routed,
and President Madero in an interview
last night said it meant the breaking
of the rebel cause. He said rebel
losses in killed and wounded would
reach 1000 men.
A special dispatch originating at
Torreon sent to Ell impartial at Mex
leo City and bearing evidence of be-
ing authentic, reported that the fed
erals had been defeated and that re-
treating government soldiers were be-
ing modified there.
Both reports contain the fact that
Gen. Gonzalez Salas, former minister
of war, committed suicide after his
command had been routed. In bad
repute, he resigned his portfolio to
take the field hoping to reha affiliate
himself in the eyes of his country
men.
THE government troops have scored
a decisive victory" declared President
Madero. "Our latest reports show
complete defeat of the rebels near
Corralitos, their losses in dead, wound
ed and captured accounting for 1000
of their men, 1t has been a hard won
victory, but it means the breaking of
the rebel power. For the rash act Of
Gen. Salas we have only regret. 1t
was not necessary"
The dispatch upon which the presi-
dent based his assertion declared that
after the troops directly under the
command of Salas were thrown into
confusion when the rebels sent dyna-
mite laden locomotive into a troop
train, Gen. Trucy ALBERT executed
flank move and Gen. Teller came up
on the rebels in pursuit Of Salas from
the rear. ALBERT opened fire and Tel
lez came to his assistance with artil-
lery, turning what was first reported
a federal defeat into a government
victory.
