Detroit. April For the sec
end time in less than six months,
on the face of significant re-
turns available at midnight tonight, a
constitutional amendment permitting
woman suffrage was today defeated In
Michigan. 1t alone of five amendments
to the state constitution lost The initia-
tive, referendum and recall and the pen
sioning of firemen provisions all appeared
to be increasing their leads as late re-
turns tricl1led in.
The municipal ownership proposition
in Detroit, which required a to vic
tory TO carry was adopted by a big ma
Jority.
The local option question contested in
u counties. developed surprises. Ten
counties, all but Huron and Iosco. have
reported. Emmett, after being dry four
years. has gone wet" Lenawee which
polled heavy prohibition majority two
years ago, apparently went over to the
other side. jackson and Genssee coun-
ties, however, changed from wet" to
dry unless unexpected returns from a
few precincts change the result in jack
son. The other counties heard from ap-
rarently remained as they were.
Only fragmentary returns have been re-
received concerning state offices and no
definite information is expected before
tomorrow. The large number of ballots
made necessary by the fact that each
amendment was printed upon separate

Gated that woman suffrage had equally
as hard a contest on its hands as last
fall when it lost out BY vote of f20.
Detroit and Grand Rapids each returned
large maiorities against It in the first
incomplet., returns and some of the coun-
try precincts reported that the vote would
be very close.
Incomplete returns from 30 precincts In
Detroit indicated that the local municipal
ownership advocates would win by good
margin in their street railway fight. The
first returns were more than three to
one in favor of the city ownership.
The principal contest in the state ticket
was for supreme court justice. The re-
publicans were claiming al of the other
offices. 1t was not thought these con-
tests could be decided before tomorrow
morning. The constitutional amendments
providing initiative snd referendum on
legislative and constitutional measures
were lacking in public interest because
of the suffrage vote, thereby inahihs tue
returns very late.
Reports of dissatisfaction came in from
all over the state because of the COM
pIicated ballots. In many places there
were from to u ballots, requiring the
voter to spend from 10 to 30 minutes in
casting his vote. When the polls were

New President of Convict
Board Seems Anxious to

Montgomery, April 7.--(special) )-'With
good luck wishes
Such was the inscription on a card
found among a large floral display which
came to Hartwell Douglass, president OF
the board of convict inspectors, from the
cfflcers and directors of the New Farley
National bank, this afternoon. The flow
ers were grouped in the shape of a large
horseshoe, and made one of the most
beautiful floral tributes ever seen at The
capitol.
The inscription, Good Luck Wishes"
was set out in large golden letters across
the floral display A lavish profusion of
carnations and sweet peas made up the

Mr. Douglass is director OF the New

q prominent part in the financial transac-
tons of that institution The floral dis
play was marked evidence of the es-
TEEN in which the new president of the
convict bureau is held by the directors uf
the bank
The question of whether or not Presi-
dent Douglass can legally make bond has
not yet been determined. There is no pro-
vision under the law by which the head
of the convict bureau can make bond,
and it looks as if that matter will have
TO wait until legislative ena ctment in
order to legalize such action.
Mr. Douglass is desirous of giving bond,
and has assured the governor that he
viii give bond in any reasonable sum if it
can be found that such a course can be
legalized. He said this afternoon that
he was particularly anxious to give bond,
