submit the Amendment to the
Popular Vote

Tallahassee. May 3.-The House by a
vote of 38 to 20 yesterday voted against
the submission Of a constitutional
amendment giving women the right TO
vote.
The galleries of the House were
crowded with women long before the
hour set for debate and they overflow
ed in the aisles clear up to the speak
er's stand.
H c. Stanford of Kissimmee made a
strong speech in opposition to the
measure. saying that woman suffrage
might come in Florida some time but
he hoped that it would not until after
his body had been placed beneath the
sod.
Bussey Of Palm Beach, who intro
duced the measure, by request. spoke
in favor of it, citing the good that wo-
mans suffrage had done in some of the
western states and claiming that JEFF
fersonian democracy guaranteed the
right of the people TO rule.
Acosta of DuvaI made the House
ring with a speech against votes for
women, while Judge Morley Of Dade
opposed the idea of women voting but
spoke in favor of submitting the
amendment saying the majority ought
to rule.

MORALES, March 14.-Sonora has no idea of establishing an independent government, says the explanation of the revolt against Huerta'S national government made here today by I. Bo- nillas, member of the Sonora state congress.
 We merely want a constitutional government" he declared, not alone for Sonora but for all Mexico. And we will have it because all the represen- tative MeXicans stand for it. This is protest against tyranny and murder.
 We now have two border ports and mean to begin a strenuous campaign to place northern Sonora out of the hands of the warning factions and immedi- ately open the country to peaceful business. The federals to the south have no force except for the defense of Guaymas. We will drive them out of the coast country later

EACO, March 14.-With remnants of 1 the federal garrison of northern So-

 We will fight" declared the federal commander as he gave orders for i'm mediate preparations late today. Trenches were dug near and fortifica

 Late today Ojeda with eighty men reconnOitered, seeking to locate the enemy. State troops under COlonels Gales and Bracemente from Agua Pri

 Ojeda expects assistance from Cana

 or three hundred men are located. But l the Cananea federals permitted the state troops to enter the mining town
 and so far have not moved to the as
 sistance of their superior commander at Naco.
 Ojeda previously evacuated Agua 1 Prieta in the face of a strong advance of state troops. His retreat to Chi huahua was cut off and the news that l Eogales has fallen makes his position still more difficult. To the south he
 is sure to encounter strong groups of constitutionalists roaming the interior
 of the country.
