Washington Oct. 22.-Defeat for re- election of all those who oppose the adoption of a constitutional amend ment to assure nation wide woman suffrage, including senators and repre- sentatives in congress. the members of state legislatures, is the avowed object of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National American Women Suf- frage association who arrived here today Dr. Shaw made this announce ment today, following conference with Washington suffragists at which plans were discussed for advancing the movement for the proposed amend ment She will inaugurate her cam paign at Lynchburg Va, next Friday night, when she will address the Nir- ginia Suffrage league, and proposes to continue it before other suffrage or ganizations in various parts of the country.

DIVIDEND RATE REDUCED.
As Precautionary Measure Savings Bank to Pay Three and One Half Percent


 At meeting of the trustees of the Putnam Savings bank it was voted to reduce the dividend rate by one-half of one percent, so the institution will pay interest at the rate of 1-2 per- cent. per annum under the new schedule. Heretofore the bank has paid 4 percent. on deposits up to $1 900 and 3 percent. on deposits in excess of that sum. The present dividend will be at the rate of 1-2 percent on all deposits.
 The revision of the dividend rate, which is for the time being is taken During the last six months the bank s income has not decreased and there have been no losses or reVerseS of any kind The market value of stocks and bonds and other securities however, has been somewhat depressed for some time past. and a consideration of this fact which is of special interest to all financial institutions has made it appear advisable to make "the change, for the present in the interest rate. which is now equal to the rate paid by various savings institutions in Connecticut.
 Withdrawals will be allowed as usual up to S100, and a discretionary power exercised under the bylaws of the bank as to requiring the giving of notice on demands for heavy with drawals.
 While the income of the bank has not been decreased at all and is now equal to what it has been, the insti- tution's officials have thought it best to take every possible means for the protection of it's depositors, the ma l jority of whom are approving the ac- i ton taken.
