Brides Of Citizens More Rights than
Men-Carmody Cautious.

If the woman suffrage amendment -
finally adopted, the situation in reference
to citizenship Of foreign women could be
remcdied by amendments 10 the statutes
of the state by the Legislature.
Mrs. Gavit left the proposed amend
ment with the majority leader, Senator
Wagner. with the request that any action
on it he deferred until she had consulted
with suffrage leaders in New York. AZ

qualifications for voters recommended, eN-
cept that The or she" be a citizen. In
this form ii is on legislative calendars
for consideration I'm the Assembly on
Monday night and i'm the Senate on Tues
day. If the proposed "hve-ycaT' clause
is incorporated delay in bringing the
suffrage question before the Legislature
will result.
Alfred r. Smith. Speaker OF the Assem-
bly,. to-day said he was i'm favor Of con-
siderinG the bill in its present form and
having the federal naturalization laws
amended later i'm case IL were shown That
foreign-horn women would be the bene-
nciarics of privileges not extended to

Zation laws were drafted years before
woman suffrage was thought Of, and that
the federal laws should hc amended 10
