WOMAN SUFFRAGE
final Vote IS NOT
READY IN SENATE

Washington, March 5.-Debate on wo-
man suffrage continued in the Senate
without the expected final vote on the
proposed constitutional amendment being
reached. Late in the day many senators
were missing from their seats and lack
of a quorum prevented vote on an
amendment to the pending resolutions
submitted by Senator Vardaman
Our women" the Mississippi senator
had declared, will not go to the polls TO
vote in competition with a race congeni-
tally, eternelly, racially, unalterably un-
fit to perform the supreme function OF
citizenship" He said he would support
the resolution If Congress repealed the
18th amendment and modified the 18th
amendment, and to this end he offered
his amendment TO the resolution.
AS amended the resolution would pro-
vide for woman suffrage in all the states,
but in all other respects the right of cit
liens to vote would be left to the states
in which they reside.

Farm LabOrers for
N. fromimmigrants

Boston, March 5.-The shortage of
farm laborers in New England may
be relieved by advertising among i'm
migrants the advantages of agricul-
tural life. in the opinion of speakers
today at . conference called under
Chamber of Commerce auspices to dis
cUss the problem.
At the meeting were representatives
of the department of agriculture of
each of the New England states, and
of seven nationalities. It was agreed
that newly arrived foreigners were
likely to take up farm work in much
larger numbers than al present if the
opportunities of such labor were made
known 10 them. Proper advice for such
people and protection for their invest
ments would result in the purchase
and occupancy of many farms, speak
ers said
Bernard J. Rothwell, chairman of
the State Commission on immigration,
told the meeting that the commission
will report soon to Governor Walsh
recommending the creation of a state
bureau which shall make a survey of
farms in the state, including a list of
farmers who need help, and the ma
ture of the assistance which they need.
Seasonable employment would be one
OF the subjects to be considered by

er Mr.. or Mrs. Whelden have shown
in any degree any evidence that would
betray that they We're marching in the
ranks of the welded. Their attendance
at classes has been regular. Their les

accuracy. No one, not even the BRIDE
grooms brother, Freshman, was
aware of the tieing of the nuptial
knot.

Federal Leaguers Want Players

Lusitania at quarantine. The mag
mates will go down to meet the Lusl-
tauia on the government revenue cut
ter which leaves here at in the morn
ing.
At late hour President Gilmore
and his associates have been unable
to get tickets for the cutter.
Gilmore today sent wireless mes
sages to the eight players he wants
Speaker, Crawford, Magee, Wingo,
Egan, LeverenZ, Deolan and Evans
and .eld them not to sign until they
had heard from him. "They will be
crazy if they don't accept what we
are willing to give them," said the
Federal chief. A meeting was held
late today at the Waldorf, attended by
President Gilmore Attorney Gates
and Presidents Baker and Gaffney of
the Philadelphia and Boston Nation
ais, respectively. The conference,
which was over the status of players
in dispute was unproductive of any
agreement, both sides declaring, al
though Baker said the problem would
be loft to Gov. Tener.
During the day Gilmore arranged
a deal by which Edward w. Gwynner,
q Pittsburg capitalist. took over the
majority holdings of the Pittsburg
Federals,. Gwynner is the son OF
wealthy retired contractor and form
er bank president. Gilmore also de-
clared that within the last two days
men with money in plenty at their
command had taken over the Buffalo
club.
President Ban Johnson made a
statement during the day in which he
deplored the meeting held between
Gilmore and the two National League
Presidents. Johnson said he is not
here to talk peace to the Federal
League, but to welcome the tourists.
I'VE will fight these people TO the
bitter end" said Johnson. They have
nothing but a bunch of sand lotters,
with a small sprinkling of major
league players. They got about 10 from
our league. The Federal League affair
is taken too serious. The whole thing
is a joke"
Gilmore said he could not believe
Johnson had made such a statement.

to him." said the Federal League head,

DEFEND ORGANIZA-
TIONS ACCUSED Of
WHEAT CONTROL

Washington, March 5.-Defence of the
Chicago Board of Trade and the Mime
apolis Chamber of Commerce against
charges that they are tools of combi-
nation arbitrarily controlling the price
of wheat in the United States began to-
day before the House rules committee.
Henry S. Robbins, counsel for the Chiea-
go board, told the committee that the or
ganizations were not and could not be
involved in any grain monopoly because
they were not engaged as organizations
in commercial enterprises. He declared
the exchanges merely provided places and
means of trading but took no part in the
deals.
Mr., Robbins argued that Congress had
no power TO conduct the investigation
proposed in Rep. Manahans pending res
olution to gather information on which
prosecutions under the Sherman law by
the department of justice might be based.
