HIGHER SALARIES REFUSED

Montpelier. Jan. l5.-Seats were at a
premium in the House this afternoon
when ". iSl rela ting to poll taxes and
the right of municipal suffrage. uhe
woman suffrage bid, came mp as a
special order There was a large number
of ladies present. some of them having
been very active in their efforts to have
the bill passed. Consideration of the bin
occupied the greater part of the after
noon and two roll calls We're had, one on
an amendment and one on the question
of ordering the bin to third reading.
The bill was killed by a vote Of 14s
to 81.
1t has frequently happened in the past
that a woman suffrage hill has been
passed by the House with the assurance
that it would hc killed in the Senate;
but the Senate has already passed iudg-
meut on the general proposal by its
action on Senator Darlng's bill and the
House seemed t. believe that must go
on record according to it's own Judgment.
The afternoon was one of oratory and
this was only squclchcd by the motion
of Mr. Howley of Burlington that debate
be closed.
