notice that during the entire time the
gentleman's party was in charge of
this House it refused to report Suf-
frsge resolution. The proposition that
came before the Democratic caucus
was merely to provide for a new COM
mittee, giving jurisdiction to the new
committee which jurisdiction is al
ready possessed by one of the ablest
committees of this House This COM
mittee has had much jurisdiction al
most since the beginning of the gov
ernment. There is no objection on the
part of these ladies as to what COM
mittee they shall go before. They want
ed their legislation represented and
thought they could not get it reported
from the committee in charge, SO they
wanted to create q new committee.
That is all there is to it. It is not a
question of taking from them the right
to be heard"
will the gentleman. as leader OF
the majority" asked Mr.. Lenroot, use
his influence in the House for u report
of that resolution so that women may
have an opportunity here TO vote
on it?
Il would not do so, because l am not
in favor of it," replied Mr.. Underwood.
IF there is one fundamental principle
that my party stand for, it is local
self-government. If the Democratic
party stands for one thing above all
others, it is that the right of franchise
shall be governed by the state of the
Union and not by the national govern

vision of Press.

Washington, Feb. 4.-"This bill at

Samuel Untermyer of New York.
who said that he had much to do with
drawing the bill, appeared to support
Il and Senator Hitchcock's protest was
made during his examination.
The bill provides FOR denial OF the
mails to Stock Exchanges which vio-
late restrictions imposed by the meas
ure and would require the incorpora-
tion of Stock Exchanges under state
laws.
Senator Hitchcock declared the meas
ure was an attempt to take from the
states powers and duties which were
purely domestic.
He asserted that the wording of the
bill would give the postmaster general
absolute supervision Of news concern
ing Stock Exchanges which papers
outside of the cities where the ex-
changes were located might wish to
print.
Mr.. Untermyer insisted that the pow
er given the postmaster general was
limited; that only transactions of a
fraudulent character would be barred
from the mails.
"The press always has been Jealous
of tho post office privileges" he said.
fearing that regulations might some
time reach to libelous matter"
''As a newspaper man I take excep-
tions to that statement" said Sena-
tor Hitchcock. 1.-THE papers resist only
an attempt to place in the hands of any
one man the power to censor publica-
tlons."

volved in the contest of her husband s
will.
The documents were an order on the
executors of the Holyoke estate to pay
Mrs. Cora Holyoke $5000 a letter to
Mrs. Holyoke expressing contrition for
having conspired to make her appear
wanton and a note of instruction to
Edwin P. Hahn Of Pasadena, one of
the executors, to withdraw from the
records of the courts in Maine and CAL
ifornia all papers Detrimental to the
character of Mrs. Holyoke.
All these documents were dated Aug
8, 1911, the day after Holyoke made
the will now under contest by his son,
Sydney Archibald Holyoke of Milwau-
kee.
AS soon as Mrs. Holyoke had identi-
fled the signatures on each of the doc
uments, as that of her late husband,
attorneys for the executors and the
principal heirs the two daughters Of
Caleb Holyoke, rose and loudly an
nounced:
I'VE unequivocally declare that each

mony of H. C. Young, a chauffeur, of
Bangor, who said he had received the
paper from Mr.. Holyoke in August,
1911, with instructions to deliver them
to Mrs. Holyoke.
Called to deny the statement in his
fathers will that he and his brother
Sydney had been amply provided for
years ago, Harry Douglas Holyoke Of
Boston testified that when his father
and mother separated q years ago, he
had to go to work in a grocery store,
where his wages were $1.90 week.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Hopes Of wo-
man suffragists that the present Dem
ocratic administration would enact
federal legislation enfranchising the
women Of the country, were checked
today when Rep. Underwood of Ala
bama, majority leader of the House.
put the Democratic party squarely on
record as opposed to federal action.
Representative Underwood declared
that the Democratic party took the po-
sition that the question of suffrage
should be left to the individual states
to settle.
The question cropped up in the dis
cussion of the immigration bill in the
House, and there was considerable de-
bate as to Just what the action of the
Democratic House caucus in rejecting
the Raker woman suffrage resolution
meant. Rep. Lenroot of Wisconsin
declared that by defeating the propo-
sition to create a new woman suffrage
committee the Democrats had taken
the position that woman should not
have an opportunity to be heard on
the suffrage question.
THE gentleman knows" replied Rep.
Underwood ''the judiciary committee
has been vested for many years with
Jurisdiction over this very question and
it has repeatedly granted hearings to
women as to whether legislation shall
be passed, submitting to the states a
constitutional amendment for woman
suffrage.
