SUFFRAGE VOTE
WILL Be TAKEN
DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT
Question Again Comes Up Before
British Lawmakers-New Measure
Grants the Franchise TO Women
Who Are Either HOuseholdeTs or
Wives OF HOusehOlders.

London, May 5.-Another crucial
vote on womans suffrage is in. sight
today in the house of commons. A
two days general debate began this
afternoon on the compromise measure
introduced in parliament by w. H.
Dickinson. 1t grants a franchise to
all women over 2$ years of age who
either are householders in their own
names or the wives of householders,
aggregating about six million. The
vote which is expected to be taken to:
morrow night is on the second read
ing of the bill
If there should be a majority in
favor of it, it would still be subject
to amendment in committee, and pos
sibe defeat on the third reading. But
it Is the general opinion that if there
is an adverse vote on the second
reading, this would mean the death
knell of suffrage so far as the pres
ent parliament is concerned.

BRYAN BEFORE MAKING COMMENT
TAYLOR APPEAL CASE
is UP THIS SESSION

An interesting case to come before
the supreme court at its Pendleton
session is that of the. appeal of John
NJ. Taylor, who was convicted in
Harney county of murder in the first
degree for the killing of a man nam
ed Perry Taylor would have been
hanged on BLACK Friday last fall
had not Governor West committed
his sentence from hanging to life i'm
prisonment. At the time the case Of
Taylor excited much interest and the
action of the governor was generally
endorsed by those who read of the
case.
Taylor is a man 5S years of age
and is slight, weighing only 140
pounds. The man he killed was 81
years of age and weighed 20S pounds.
He had repeatedly attacked Taylor
and villified him until in desperation
the man now in prison shot his foe.
The bullet which killed Perry went
entirely through his body and strik-
ing a man named Settlemeir. caused
his death also However before ex-
piring Settlemeir made a statement
generating Taylor and laying blame
! for the trouble upon Perry.
After Taylor had been convicted
| Of murder in the Harvey county court
/ he was taken to the penitentiary but
! his execution was suspended pending
/ the vote of the people on the capital
punishment law. After the law as II
now stands had been upheld, Taylor
was in line to hang and four other
men under similar circumstances were
executed at the penitentiary. Only
the action of the governor saved the
old man from the gallows
At his trial Taylor was defended 10y

BUCKS AND SPUDS
TO OPEN TOMORROW

Tomorrow afternoon. Pendleton' S
baseball defenders enter upon a six
game series in this city with the La
Grande Spuds who last week played
in Walla Walla. The Bears meet the
Baker Gold Dlggers in Walla Walla
this week and the Boise team left
this morning for North Yakima where
they engage the Braves for the week
1t is not the La Grande team that
last year dropped SO many games to
Pendleton that the fans will see in
action tomorrow. Carl King has
gathered together some heavy swat
ters and they have outhit their oppo-
nents in nearly every game of the
games largely through erratic pitch
ing but are much stronger in this de-
partment than formerly. Jamison
will undoubtedly be good for one out
of every two games he pitches this
year and many more ana King has
one or two other twirlers hardly in
ferior to his big southpaw.
Yesterday he released Chet Luttrell
who has been holding an outfield po-

room for.

After Bryan Returns TO Washington
and Has Conference With Wilson
Before Putting His Signature TO
Anti-AIien Measure.

Sacramento, May 5.-Only a grave
eventuality or a referendum move
ment by the people of the state will
prevent the Webb law going on the
statute books of California according
to administration leaders. The am
ended Webb measure which passed
both the senate and the assembly is
now in the governors hands. The
governor has announced he will sign
the bill within a reasoable time"
1t was said the governor would
wait until Bryan reaches Washington
and confers with President Wilson
before signing the measure. POliti-
cias pointed out today the tremendous
sentiment for anti-alien legislation in
Califoria as indicated by the vote on
the Webb bill in the senate and as
sembly. Notwithstanding this fact
democrats and progressives alike at
tempted to amend the bill or secure
a delay and prevent its passage. pro-
gressive floor leaders even admitting
the bill IS not as drastic as desired.
only five votes in the legislature OF
120 were cast against it.

tinued until the final roll call was de-
manded by shouts from the floor

The assembly refused to strike out
the clause permitting leases. to which
demand was made, Several other
clauses likewise We're voted down by
the heavy administration majority
and in the end the bill carried with
70 affirmative votes out of rs.
When the body came to considera-
ton of the main question of barring
the Japanese, the debate was more
virulently anti-Asiatic than in the
senate. There were many demands
for a stronger bill both from demo.
Gratis and progressives but 1t was
agreed that the act as drawn by At.
torney General Webb would serve tn,
needs of the state for the present.
Bill Not Drastic Enough.
This bill is not as strong as som,
of us would like" declared Assembly
man Bohnet administration floo
leader. "but it reaches the point. I
commits the state to a policy of op
position to the holding of land by al
lens ineligible to citizenship"
