SUFFRAGE LOSES
Resolution Proposing Amendment To
constitution Is Lost In the Senate

Proposing Amen0menI o
constitution Is Lost In the Senate
washington, March 10. Woman
suffrage advocates lost their fight to-
day IN the United States senate for a
resolution proposing an amendment to
the FEDERAL constitution giving women
the ballot.
The vote was 35 for the measure, to
81 against it, two-thirds affirmative
vote being required for passage. When
1t was all over, suffragette leaders
jubilantly pointed to the majority of
one as conclusive proof that their
cause had scored a triumph in defeat,
and was immeasurably stronger than
its opponents had been willing to con.
cede.
Todays action following weeks of
debate on the floor of the senate dur.
ing which many leaders in the suffrage
movement pleaded for postponement
OF the final vote, marked the climax of
a spirited campaign launched here the
day before the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson.
Immediately after the vote, Senator
Shafroth of Colorado, sought to intro
duce new resolution for a constitu-
tional amendment requiring each state
to vote on granting suffrage to women
upon petition of per cent. of its vot.
ers. The senate went into executive
session before the senator could get
the floor, however, and the resolution
will be offered later.
The resolution defeated today was
the first introduced in the present con-
gress. 1t was presented by Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon, and the WON.
an suffrage committee later author
zed Senator Ashurt to report it favora.

KING GEORGE PEACEMAKER
10 Using Every ln:'uercs to Avert
eloodshed irsUlster

6Ioodshed tE'UIster
London, March 2l.--K!rg George
assumed the role Of peaccmaker tn.
day in an effort to prevent threatened
trouble in Ulster.
Just what the result of his majes-
tvs conciliatory move will be is
matter of conjecture, but it is known
that the king is using every influence
to avert bloodshed in the Ulster con-
troversy. His majesty had long con-
ferences with the prime minister, Mr..
Asquith; the secretary of war, Col
onel Seeley. and several other high
officers, and afterward summoned
Field Marshal Lord Roberts. s..,..~
The latter has been critized by lib.
erals for utterance which they con-
strued as encouragement to those off,
GERS who have resigned from their
regiments.
From the palace the veteran field
marshal drove directly to the war
Office, where he had long talk with
the secretary of war. The army
council held an extraordinary confer.
ence at the war Office, generals and
lesser officers of the staff coming and
going throughout the day.
The governments military precau-
tions to preserve order in Ulster have
precipitated a crisis without parallel
in the history of the British army.
Rather than be placed in a position
where they might be called upon to
act against the Ulster covenanters,
numbers of officers have resigned their
commissions.
While the war Office refuses to say
how many have resigned, popular be-
lief, based on reports from the differ
ent regiments, is that the number of
Withdrawals has crippled the whole
military organization in Ireland and
prevented carrying out orders for
moving several large bodies of troops.
The Marquis of Londonderry, one of
the Ulster leaders, said tonight that
nothing of the sort had occurred in
the British army since the days of
the American revolution.

Villa Attempts Double Play

Juarez, Mex, March 19.--A stimuli
taneous attack on Torren and Man.
zatlan was predicted today in advices
received here. 1t was said that while
General Villas rebel army was NOV.
ing against Torreon, forces under
General Alvara Obregon would as
sault Mazatlan. Obregon was report
ed to be moving with 10000 troops
against the Pacific coast port.
This was said to be part of a gen.
eral plan for an aggressive movement
against all federal forces in northern
Mexico. Is
The fall of Mazatlan it was con-
sidered would mean virtual control of
the west coast district, while Torreon
is the railroad center of Central Mex

threaten the capital. After the cap
ture of these two points both armies
would move against Gauadalaraja,
which is the strategic key to the in.
terror.
According to the plans, Guaymas
will be ignored in the hope that the
SoiiioiAid gun poII Will ldH WIFI the
capture of Mazatlan.
In the projected campaign on the
west coast, the gunboat Tampico, re-
Gently surrendered to the insurgents,
will be employed to counteract the
two federal gunboats remaining on
the coast. Mazatlan is considered
easier to take because of its location,
than Guaymas, which has been at
tackled repeatedly without result. It
was said that the simultaneous move
ments against Torreon and Mazatlan
had received the sanction of General
Carranza, now marching overland in.

Montana Case in Y. s. Supreme cour

"OutdUa Vase III " =. supreme NourI
Washington, March 1S.-The case of
the Hammond Packing company VS..
the state of Montana has been receiv-
ed by the supreme court for review.
Counsel has been given fifteen days to
file briefs. It comes on error from the
supreme court of Montana. The case
involves the failure of the Hammond
company to take out license in Silver
Bow county in it's sale of oleomargar-
inc, butterine and imitation of cheese.
1t is alleged that the company sold one
million pounds each of the three pro.
ducts in the state in 1904. The county
brought action to recover $4,000 from
the company under the law taxing the
product at the rate of one cent pound
The packing company attacked the
validity of the tax but it was sustain
ed by Judge Henry c. Smith of the
Montana court. The case now comes
to the United States supreme court
for adjudication.

Bermejillo, Durango, Mex, March
l2.-Marked by sharp brushes with
the enemy General Villas spectacc-
lar march against Torreon which be.
gan last Friday was nearing an eld
today. Only few haciendas and su-
burban towns remained between the
army of $4,000 and the actual seige
OF Torreon. A. no point do the rebel
leaders expect to meet strong resist
ance, unless it be at Lerdo, where it
was reported that garrison of fed.
erals had been placed by General
Refugio Velasco to check the onward
march Of the so far triumphant con.
stitutionalists.
Officers from the extreme front re.
turned today after viewing some of
the federal Notifications through
powerful field glasses. They report
ed that the defenses were elaborate
and laid out according to the latest
approved methods, so that troops may
move from trench to trench without
exposing themselves.
Fresh earth was understood to mark
the lurking places of the enemy's big
guns. Some of the barbed wire en-
tanglements were visible. Troops
continued to pour into this city from
the north today. Practically all of
the supplies from Yermo are now
here.
Villa is confident that only a few
hours and little fighting will pass be-
fore the army is investing Torreon
proper.
The skirmishes with the rebels
have already engaged in having been
like play. They have seemingly de.
lighted in cavalry charges against the
federal outposts.

For Sale Of Montana Coal Lands

Washington, March 19.-The senate
this afternoon, on motion of Senator
Myers, took up his bill for the sale
OF coal lands to the Republic Coal
company of Montana for furnishing
coal for railroad purposes only. A
vote to consider the bill was tie, 81
to 27, but Vice President Marshall
cast the deciding vote for considera-
tion. Senator Walsh offered amend
ments providing the sale should be
forfeited if the coal were used for any
other than railroad purposes. or If the
land should be transferred or assign
ed to any person and If it should be.
come a part of combination. an
ame4dment also provided that the
state should have the right to tax
the land and the coal.
Senator Walsh said he was opposed
to the disposition of lands by special
act to special parties, but as the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
had no coal and the Northern Pacific
has coal, the situation required rem-
edying from the standpoint of railroad
rates.
Senator Kenyon opposed this spe-
cial class legislation. He said it was
vicious. Senator Lane of Oregon, fav.
orded the bill, saying that the North
ern Pacific railroad had monopoly
of coal lands under its charter and
prevented other roads from getting
coal. Other unfinished business then
came up and displaced the Myers bill.

PRESIDENT LECTURES
 STATE OF COLORADO

DENVER, Col, May 1S.-Gov. Elias Ammons Saturday evening gave out a letter to the press that he had re- celved from President Woodrow Will son, expressing the latter's distress at the indications that the special ses- sion of the Colorado legislature which had been holding seemed to adjourn without doing anything to end the strike.
 q cannot conceive" wrat the Pres ident, "that the State of Colorado Is willing to forego it's sovereignty, and throw herself entirely upon the gov. ernment of the United States, and am quite clear that she has not the con stltuHonal right to do so when 1t is within the power of the Legislature to take effective actionp
 Gov. Ammons wired the President that the Legislature had appropriated $1,OOO,OOO for the maintenance of the State National Guard, and that the State will be in position to control the situation as soon as the funds are made available.
