CANAL BILL
MAY HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL NEXT SESSION
Senator Brandegee Sees Lit
tie Hope for Present Ac-
ton on Measure.

Passage Of the Panama canal bill, to
which Great Britain has noted obJec-
tions, may be deferred until next ses-
sion. Senator Brandegee of Connecu-
cut, in charge of the measure in the
upper house. today expressed the pessi-
mistic prediction that action on the bill
seemed far in the future"
1T is impossible to say when 1t will
be enacted" Brandesee declared. I'VE
hope to take It UP next week. The pro-
posed committee amendments will be
in order, and will give cause for pro-
longed debate. Divergent views exist
among Senators and they will require
much time for presentation Of their
arguments.
conference committee representing the
two branches of Congress, the fight Will
have to be fought all over again"
Meanwhile, Great Britain's detailed
list of objections to. the measure has
not yet been received at the State De-
partment. 1t was the expectation today
that Counselor Innes of the embassy
would present it to Secretary Knox to-
morrow. The acuteness Of the diplo-
matte questions involved will probably
ate, according to the belief Of members.
While England is protesting against
free tolls for American ships. another
dispute is over the railroads objection
to the prohibition, placed in the House
measure, against ownership Of compel
ing steamship lines.
The British protest against the pend
ing Panama canal tolls bill did not
reach the State Department today as
| was expected. Meanwhile the officials
have nothing more to outline of the
British position contained in Mr.. Innes
| note to Secretary Knox of July 8.
Secretary Knox is still at his summer
| home, Valley Forge, Pa, and 1t 1!
| doubtful II the note will be given ou
| at the State Department. even II re-
ceived tomorrow, until the Secretary

POOR OLD SPAIN
(National News Association

BARCELONA, Spain, July %
Great unrest prevails throughout
Spain and revolutionary agents are
more active than ever before.
Continual anti-government demons
trations have followed the attempt
made by anarchists to kill the Infanta
Isabel here and these eliminated to-
day in a pitched battle between the
police and crowds cheering for a re-
public.
A great mass meeting was held at
which flags were unfurled and a reso-
luton adopted advocating a revolution
by the end of the present year. The
speakers finally became so turbulent
that the police ordered the crowd to
dispense. Upon their refusal the po-
lice charged them six times beating
down both men and women. Twenty
six arrests were made.
Although the officials belittle these
outbursts they are nevertheless adopt
ing stringent measures to cope with
any outbreak. All regiments are be-
ing recruited to their full war strength.

So it seems to be up to the women
to lend their support to this party.
In California, for example, where
the women have the opportunity to ex-
press themselves civically, the Repub-
lican primaries went overwhelmingly
for Roosevelt, even If the California
birthright was stolen and a mess of
pottage substituted at Chicago.
What women want to do is to con-
centrate their energies and activities
toward the avenues through which
egress is possible.
Roosevelt is the only presidential
candidate, or possibility, who has de-
clared himself openly for woman's
suffrage.
In the language of golf. therefore,
keep your eye on the ball.
Other issues either political or So
cial, should be thrown into the ofing
and the women train their guns to the
port of entry.
In other words, until women get uni
versal suffrage, they should support
the medium through which it is to be
secured. Then when it's secured be-

FOUR MORE DEATHS

ROME, July 23.-Crazed by reading
accounts of the Camorra trial at Viter-
DO. a young bankers clerk, named
Sabastine, ran amuck today in the
town of Rajane and killed four persons
before gendarmes finally shot him
down.
He rushed into a room in the home
where his wife and three children
were, and shrieking in maniacal fury,
began firing at them with a revolver.
His brother ran into the room and
was Immediately shot to death. Then
the maniac's mother-in-law ran to the
rescue of her daughter and grandchil-
dren and was in turn shot down. The
next victim was the father of the de-
mented man who was killed as soon
as he entered the room. The wife and
children escaped the shots fired at
them. Sabatine reloaded his weapon
and rushed into the street firing at ev-
cry person he say. Four gendarmes
finally surrounded him and ordered
him to surrender. His answer was to
shoot one of them dead and seriously
wound another. Thereupon the other
two fired at the maniac with their car
bines and killed him.

You can be too considerate.

One might say nasty nice.
In other words the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, in biennial
| session in San Francisco recently
minced all around a thing instead OF
walking up to it and, as the patent
medicine ads say, meeting it face to
face"
The majority of the membership OF
this biggest body of women in the
United States is in favor of woman's
suffrage.
All sorts of enfranchisement dope
was handed out and applauded to the
echo at the convention.
Miss Grace Julian Clarke in one OF
her trans-continental editorials, stated
that suffrage was the only thing talked
of en- route.
Or, at least, concentrated the con
versational exchange.
The convention was held in a state
which has recently granted the full
franchise to women and with great
success.
The body of the spectators were
necessarily, made up of those of such
pro-sympathies.

favor of "endorsing" women's stuff

This small majority was catered to

And the "bi-enniar passed without
committing itself in any way, shape
or form to the one greatest woman
question of the generation.
1t was a bit of cowardice, in short
And snobbery.
If the General Federation thought it
would impress the public with its
tactfulness and diplomacy, it should
have taken second think"
Because such of the public as has
given consideration to it's recent con
vention procedure have almost uni: er
sally commented and commented, oft
ener than not derisively, on the action
or lack of it, shown by this body OF
women.
Why not come out in the open and
show your colors?
The General Federation is really for
equal civic tights but it was afraid to
say so.
That's about all there is to it.
On the other hand here are the Pro

tention of including a woman suffrage
