DUNNE SIGNS SUFFRAGE BILL

Of Sex.

Springfield, H.. June 2S.-Governor
Dunno on Thursday signed the woman
suffrage bill. The act will become one
Of the laws of the state next Tuesday.
The last step necessary to incorporate
1t among the statutes of the state was
taken by the governor in the execu-
tive offices at the capitol.
Surrounded by leaders OF the suf-
frage movement. by members OF the
assembly. by employees Of the legisla-
ture. and with his wife leaning over
his shoulder to be the first woman

Suffrage Confined to Males.

1.-THE election of a county school SUI
perintendent is not common school
district election, but is a county cleo
ton, and since it is county election
the right of suffrage in such election
is confined to male voters This is
the opinion of Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Barksdale Hamlet, ex-
pressed in communication to number
of candidates for the nomination for
county superintendent. He adds that
he regrets that he finds himself to
hold to this opinion, as he favors wom-
en- voting for county superintendent,
and he hopes that the next legislature
will remove the obstacles in the way
of their taking part In the nomination
and election. The failure of the law
TO give women the right to vote for
county superintendent does not affect
their right to hold the office. II is ex-
pected that test case will be brought
before the Court of Appeals before the
General Assembly convenes, as the
opinion OF that court in the case of
Mrs. Nannette NJ. Bullock against
Theo. Lewis, county clerk OF Fayette
county, left the question open, and pro-
ceedings may be instituted upon the
refusal OF precinct election officers to
permit a woman to vote in the pri-
mary.

Honor Pension Claims at Once.

n petition for rehearlng by
the court OF appeals will be filed
In the state warrant and confed.
crate pension cases and the claims for
pensions and 1912 appropriations will
be honored at once with state war
rants by Auditor II. NJ. Bosworth, and
with Understanding warrants by
State Treasurer Thomas s. Rhea. The
1912 appropriations due the State uni
.yersity, the two normal schools ard
various other institutions and depart
nents, which have been held up,
awaiting a decision by the court OF
appeals in the suits by the agricultural
experiment station and the DEPART
ment OF agriculture against the auditor
and treasurer, respectively, aggregate
100000, while the 504 pension claims
already allowed will draw more than
100000 forVthe February and May pay
ments now past due. When the 1900
before the pension board are allowed
the outstanding interest bearing war
rants will be increased probably s275.-
900. Capt. w. J. Stone, confederate
pension agent, had not been notified
OF the arrangements when seen. Capt.
Stone said 300 claims were allowed
and vouchers for them had been issued
prior to the February pension day. and
these, he thought, should be paid at
once. No vouchers were issued before
the May pension day, because the PEN
sion case was then pending in court,
and he Is in doubt whether these
claims can be paid before August,
when another quarterly pension day
will come. He hopes to have vouchers
issued, so that the claims allowed can
be paid up to date in August. A ques-
ton was raised as to whether, under
the statute, pensions could be paid
other than by check, as the law d.
rected the auditor toFissue warrants
for the claims and the treasurer to
mail treasury checks" to the claim
ants. Atty. Gen. Garrett, however,
strued the act in the light of a recent
decision by the court OF appeals to
permit payment in warrants. There Is
not sufficient money in the treasury
to meet these claims. State warrants

to Ruth II Through COMMITTEES

Washington, June 2s.-The house
Thursday referred the Banking and
S'tsrency Reform bill to the banking
VI a currency committee. and prepare
tibns were made to begin work on II
Immediately.
The bill contains a series Of changes
from the original draft. President
Wilson has given authority that the
measure as 1t stands shall be known
as the administration bill"
There still is a fight over the ques-
ton of public hearings. and 1t is
not likely that the bill will be ready
for action In the house before August
10. The senate will not touch 1t un'
til the tariff is out of the way.
Reinserted In the bill is the original
proposition for retiring the present
bank notes within twenty years and
the substitution therefor OF additional
federal reserve notes. This eliminates
the proposed limit of $500. 000. 900 in re-
reserve notes contained In the bill
as originally made public. In replac
ing the bank notes the government
two per cent. bonds, upon which they
now are issued. would be refunded by
three per cent. bonds without the cir
culation privilege.
The provision allowing country
banks to deposit part OF their re
serves was revised. and the federal
regional banks were given the author
ity to fix the rate Of discount. subject
to the approval of the federal reserve
board. The reserve provision now
would require country banks to keel
FIVE per cent. of their reserves In
their own vaults and five per cent al
the regional reserve bank. The Other
five per cent, at a banks option
might be deposited with the regional
bank or go to a correspondent In q
central reserve city with the approval
OF the federal reserve board.
