DANISH HOUSE VOTES
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Lawmakers Also Seek Reforms in
Personnel and Formation of
Upper Body.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark. June g.
Enactment of woman suffrage in Den.
mark and abolition of all property quail.
fications for electors Of members of the
upper house Is proposed by a constitu-
tional amendment bill which passed the
lower house of the Danish parliament
today.
The vote in favor of the measure was
102. while only six deputies cast their
votes against it. The house consists of
114 deputies. SO that only six did not
participate in the vote.
The bill takes away from the crown
its present right to nominate twelve MEM
bers out of the sixty-six composing the
upper house, and withdraws the special
privileges by which the remaining fifty
four members of that legislative body
are elected. BY the existing system they
are chosen by an electoral college, a
third of whose delegates represent the
highest taxpayers in the country dis
tricts. a third the highest taxpayers In
the cities and third the rest of the COM
munity.
AS two-thirds of the members repre-
sent the wealthy classes and generally
act In unison. the working classes are
virtually excluded from a voice in the
selection of members of the upper house
Halted in the Upper House.
When the bill was sent again to the
upper house today the conservatives
acted in accordance with their decision
of June 3 and absented themselves from
the house. The coalition of the socialists,
radicals and moderates in favor of the
bill was not sufficient to carry the meas
ure, as no vote in the upper chamber
is considered valid unless more than half
the sixty-six members participate
Premier Zahle announced that the gov
ernment would advise the king to dissolve
the upper house in order that a new
chamber might be elected which would
act constitutionally.

DEADLOCK ON D. c. BILL.
Senate and House Conferees Balk on
the Half-and-Half
Items. ..

The Senate and House conferees on the
District appropriation bill have not been
able to reach an agreement on the items
in the House bill which aim at the half
andhaf principle of appropriating for the
District The Indications are that the
conference committee will report to their
respective houses that they have been
able to agree on the great majority of
items in dispute. but that they are dead
locked on others, including the Borland
amendment and the eight sections of the
bill which would have the excess of the
District revenues over current appropria-
tions covered into the federal treasury.
The conferees held a brief meeting
yesterday afternoon and then adjourned
to look over streets for the improvement
of which the Senate placed items in the
bill. They will meet again Thursday
afternoon. 1t is hoped that at that meet
ing the conferees will be able to frame a
report.
On the Borland amendment and the
eighth section Of the House bill the Sen
ate members are determined that they
will not yield.

After outlining briefly and clearly the
situation Representative Logue's report
says:
"A condition exists. therefore, for
which relief should be afforded. Many
owners of small properties are disturbed
in their holdings. The passage of pre-
vious acts of Congress stating the inten-

purpose of this commission is to enable
the lands the subject of the previous
proceeding to be acquired either by pur-
chase or condemnation.
THE power conferred upo nthe commits
sion enables 1t to deal quickly with the
property owners who are willing to con-
vey to the government at a price not ex-

Saws Matter Is Not Dead.

However" said Representative God
win. 1.-The matter is not dead. This COM
mittees duties are to find out the facts,
and the leading fact just at present is
the opposition of the House"
Leading pension advocates of a year
ago have become less and less active in
their desire to appear before the COM
mittee and members of the House who
were strong friends of the old age
pension at the beginning of the session
have died away. The chief argument
the rural district members make against
a pension plan is that it discriminates
against farmers and workmen of other
kinds They believe their constituents
would not look favorably upon any plan
to pension the occupants of positions for
which there has been SO keen compe-
tition.

CLERKS PENSION PLAN
IS OPPOSED BY HOUSE
Government Employees Will Get No
Relief at This Session of
Congress.

There will be no legislation on the civil
service pension bills during this Con-
gress as far as the House is concerned.
Members of the House committee on
reform in the civil service who were once
enthusiastic on the subject Of passing a
bill to establish a series OF pensions for
old employees Of the government are
growing lukewarm or entirely cold on
the proposition. in view Of the discov-
cry that the House at large Is not at
all in favor Of a pension plan. Chairman
Hannibal l. Goodwin of the committee
said today that he had made an earnest
study of the conditions in the House re-
specting the various pension propositions
pending in his committee, and that he is
of the opinion it would be foolish to lay
before the House any pension bill. The
present attitude of the membership. he
believes, would preclude absolutely any
action on the bill.

important Case Decided

One OF the most important law
suits that has occupied the atteu-
tion of the District Court OF Den
yer was decided on Thursday of
last week. 1t was in knspr of the
plaintiff and the decsfon set aside
the foreclosure sale of the proper
ty of the Hoosac Tunnel and Min
ing company. The plaintiffs were
the stockholders of the Ho.sac
company and were represented by
Ed. 7. Quiglev and H. G. Perks
who have been most vigilent and
persevering for the past year in
this case i'll projecting the rights
and interests of these stock hold
ers as against the acts Of the off
GERS of the new company that was
organized to take the property of
the Hoosac. This sale was: under
a foreclosure of trust deed given
by the Hoosac Tunnel and Min
ing company to secure certain
mortgage notes which took place
about year ago. 1t was claimed
that the property of the company
had been transferred to new
corporation organized under the
name of the Acme Tunnel COM
pany. The result of this decision
is that for the present the proper
ty is restored to the Hoosac COM
pany in place of the Acme COM
pany and unless there is new
trial granted or an appeal taken
the property will so stand to the
credit of the Hoosac stockholders.
The evidence in their favor seemed
so strong at the recent trial that
1t is hardly proba BILE that new
trial or an appeal will cut much
figure as to the results. Tue prep
erty of the Hoosac Tunnel and
Mining company is situated a
short distance above the, Stanley
mines on Clear Creek and near
its junction with Trail Creek
and also Fall River. Among
the claims are the Rising sun in
which a fine body OF ore is visible
in the 200 foot shaft at the portal
of the tunnel and the Hoosac
claim. both OF which are opened
up by the Hoosac tunnel. The
tunnel will open up a rich section
of mining territory about midway
between the Big Five and Lucan-
ia tunnels, and will cut into some
rich claims i'll Quartz Hill district
at great depth. The property is
equipped with fine mill that was
recently erected. 1t is SO situat-
ed that spur of the railroad runs
to it and gravity does the greater
part sf the work in handling ore.
1t is operated by electricity and
the machinery SO connected up
that any part can be run ,nde-
pendent of the other parts of the
mill. The property itself has
fine showing of ores and. only
needs proper development to make
it very profitable shipper. Mes
