Mining and Smelling Company Lit.
cation Before U. S. Supreme Court.

For the third time within a few years
the Supreme Court of the United States
has been asked to deal with the Old Do
minion Copper Mining and Smelling Com
pany, notwithstanding the fact that the
court, a year ago, rendered a decision
requiring Albert S. Bigelow of Boston to
pay to the company $2.OOO,O0O the
amount, it was claimed, being the sum
reaped as promoters profits by Bigelow
and Leonard Lewisohn by the sale Of
property to the smelling company.
The Judgment was one of the largest
ever required by the Supreme Court to be
paid by an individual. Despite the judy
ment against Bigelow, the mining and
smelling company Is attempting to re-
quire the administrator of Lewisohns es-
tate in New York to pay a portion of the
amount. The companys attorneys. in the
plea filed yesterday, asked the Supreme
Court to review an adverse decision rem
dered against the company by the New
York federal courts.

SUFFRAGE ISSUE UP
House Takes Cognizance of
the Plea of Women.
Committee OF INQUIRY
Question Whether Nation or State
Shall Control in the Legis- :,
lation Required.

| Congress has taken up the woman suf-
frage question in earnest by the designa-
| ton of subcommittee, headed by Rep
| resentatve Hobson. to inquire and report
| to the House whether it would be best
| to leave the question of equal suffrage
| in the election Of President and Vice
| President to a constitutional amendment
| or to the action of separate states. Va
| rious committees of Congress have for
many years considered proposed amend
ments, but none has ever reported one
| out.
Wide Scope of Inquiry.
| Representatives Porter Of PENNSYLVANIA
| and Tribble of Georgia will work with
! Representative Hobson in the inquiry,
which promises to be wide in its scope
and probably will take the form Of hear
| ings.
| The sponsors and opponents OF equal
suffrage will be heard, and though no
| report can be made to the dying Con-
gress it is promised that the inquiry will
| be finished and report presented to the
| incoming Congress before 1t ends two
| years hence.
| Suffrage leaders are mostly in favor
! of constitutional amendment to give
| women the ballot There is some oppo-
sition to that plan, however. headed by
left for the states to decide. and thereby
escape a problem which might arise with
the granting of equal suffrage in the
southern states.

Pleased With Recognition.
All suffrage leaders here. however, and
many of national size. gathered for the
demonstration March 3, are elated at an
official recognition of the question by
Congress and are specially elated over the
fact that Representative Hobson has been
placed i'm charge OF the inquiry. He open

day for women in the District employ ed
in any manufacturing, mechanical or
mercantile establishment, laundry. hotel

trict Affairs.
OTHER MEASURES FAVORED

Whether or not an eight-hour working
day will be fixed for women, other than
stenosraphers and domestics, in the Dis
trict of Columbia now depends upon the
House of Representatives. The Senate
last night passed the women's eight-hour
bill practically without objection. That
was the most important of several Dis
trict measures which the Senate approved
at it's session lasting until midnight
When the eight-hour bill was reached
on the calendar Senator McCumber of
North Dakota objected to its considera-
ton. Senator La Toilette, who is the
sponsor for the bill, expressed surprise
at the protest, evidently wishing to recall
to republican senators that this was one
of the measures which the republican
caucus had decided to press this session.
After a whispered conference between
Mr.. McCumber and Mr.. La Toilette, Mr..
La Toilette announced that the North
Dakota senator had withdrawn his OBJ
jections and asked that the bill be passed.
There was little discussion while the bill
was being agreed to.
Not only has the measure been APP
proved by the Senate, but it has the y. X.
of the House committee on labor.
