UNDERWOOD PREDICTS DEFEAT
 FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Declares 1t Is a State Issue and Not a Measure for Congressional Action.

a meaSure TOT ConqreSsIonai Action.
 Washington, Dec. 25-Democratic Leader Underwood predicted tonight that when the proposed constitutional amendment for woman suffrage reach ed a vote in the house it would be defeated probably by q two-thirds vote.
 T shall vote against it and so will mos tof the democrats in the house, :" said MT. Underwood. '"The party by caucus action, has gone on record holding that woman suffrage, like prohibition, is a state issue and not a national Issue. It is an issue for the state to act upon and not for con- gross.
 It is generally understood that the suffrage resolution will be voted upon soon after the postoffice bill as early in January as possible. The house rules committee already has voted to present the rule for it's consideration. largely through the insistence of re- publican members of the committee.
 \ telegram was received today by the rules committee from the execu- tive committee of the Nebraska anti suffrage organization urging defeat of the suffrage amendment.

commission eovernnent in Hartford.

Commission Government in Hartford,
 A committee has been working for the past nine months on a plan for a commission form of government in hartford.
 The council which authorized the creation of the committee on char ter revision passed resolution in structinS the committee to report to 1t before submitting it's work to the assembly. That the charter revi- sionists will do so is doubted in some quarters. This is Q matter for time to develop.
 The various forms of commission government as they exist in Calves ton, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, and in the state of New Jersey have all been under consideration and their good and bad features discussed at length One of the plans which particularly recommends itself to the Sub-com- mittee and is along the lines of com mission government as it is to-day in some of the cities of New Jersey. is this: That the power already exist ing In the mayor, common council and the various commissions of the city be vested in a board of five com
 mlssioners who s:e the executives of the respective departments, the com missioner to be elected irrespective of party lines, but, according to their qualifications and ability The ward lines would be maintained merely to facilitate the work of voting and all five commissioners might come from the same ward. The benefit thus gained would be that party politics would be eliminated from the ad- ministration of municipal affairs The commissioners would be elect ed for term of four years, and ! would receive substantial salaries. The present water board would be placed under a single department in charge of one commissioner. The work of the board of finance would be carried out by the board of commissioners as a whole, as would also the city plan com 1 mission. The proposed plan doesn't affect the present executive officers such as city engineer. superintendent of streets, city treasurer and comp troller, but after the passage of the act all these officers except the town clerk would be appointed by the commission CTS
