WASHINGTON. March 20.-The suffra-
gists won decisive victory in the Senate
to-day As result the resolution for
equal suffrage in differ mt form. how
ever. will probably be before the Senate
again next week and there will be re-
newai OF the struggle. The lobbyists for

victory,
Senator Shafroth OF Colorado offered an
amendment to the Constitution providing
that whenever s per cent. OF the voters OF
any State petitIoned for the privilege of
voting on the question Of equal suffrage
the authorities Of that State must submit
the question to n vote.
As the resolution was proposed ycs,er-
day afternoon in the Senate by Mr. SHAFT
roth 1t provided that only 5 per cent.
might petition and get such recognition
from the States. SENATOR Shafroth wa
prevented yesterday from introducing his
resolution by a motion to 20 into executive
session.
When the motion was made to-day OPP
ponents of woman suffrage promptly
moved to refer the resolution to the
Judiciary Committee Senator Bryan Of
Florida made the motion. There was a
sharp debate. but when the roll was called
the motion to refer to the Judiciary Com
mittec was voted down 81 to 20.
II was well known that II the matter
had been referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee II would not be reported back to
the Senate this session. The issue was a
struggle between the Judiciary Committee
and the Woman Suffrage Committee Tor
control of the resolution. The Woman
Suffrage Committee was made up OF Sena-
tors the majority OF whom are favorable
to equal suffrage
Immediately following the vote by
which the Judiciary Committee was de-
MED Jurisdiction over the resolution n
motion was carried without "A division to
refer 1t to the Committee on Woman Suf-
frage 1t will be reported back next week
and there IL bare possibility that II will
prevail
The purpose of the suffragists In chang
Ing the form of the amendment was to
overcome the objection raised by Senator

FAVERSHAM NEED NOT
PAY BACK ALIM0NY
Court Decides That Such obi
cations End With WOm-
ans Death.

The Appellate Division decided yestef-
day that a woman's right to alimony ends
with her death and that the representa-
tives Of her estate cannot collect any
sum that remained unpaid at the time Of
her death.
Accordingly William Faversham. the
actor, who was divorced by Mrs. Marian
NJ Faversham and then married Julie
Opp need not pay $4,000 alimony claimed
by the executor Of the estate OF his first
wife.
tor claimed that nearly $4,000 was due
at her death. The actor contended that
ne had made the payments Of $4,000 a
year regularly from the time the divorce
was granted in 1902 and that all he owed
was about $3.50. which had been mailed
by him to his former wife before he knew
she was dead and was returned on ac-
count Of her death.
Justice Scott. who wrote the opinion
in the case. said:
at Is not strictly q debt due to his
wife, but rather a general duty OF sup
mort, made specific and measured by the
court and the allowance becomes a debt
only In the sense that the general duty
over which the husband previously has
discretionary control has been changed
into a specific duty. In Its very nature
therefore upon the death Of the wife,
when the obligation Of support and main
tenance ceases. the obligation Of payment
likewise ceases"

Question Raised as to Expense Of
Caring for Insane Man,

Investigation is being made by a board
of charities officials to determine whether
the District should be charged with the
cost of maintaining William Dawson. a
colored man, in the Government Hospital
for the Insane. Dawson. who was de-
ported to this country from England,
claims to be a native Of Washington. al
though the local authorities have been
able to find out but little about him. He
was brought to this city more than
year ago by representative of the New
York state hospital commission and turn
ed over to a policeman in Union station.
Representatives of the charities board
say he was brought into the District
practically without their being consulted.
Since then persistent inquiry has failed
to produce any evidence which would
enable the board to send him to another
jurisdiction.
