WOMAN SUFFRAGE
LOSES IN HOUSE
Resolutions For Constitutional
Amendment Defeated.
TWO-THIRDS VOTE NEEDED
Speaker Clark Frequently Impelled To

Washington, ID. C.-The House of
Representatives by vote Of 204 to
ia, refused to submit to the States
an amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition to enfranchise women.
The vote came at the close of a
day Of long preparation oratory, dur
ing which the many speakers were lis
tened to with frequent evidences of
approval or disapproval by packed gal
leries. The question was before the
House on the Mondell resolution to
submit a constitutional amendment
providing that the right of suffrage
should not be abridged because OF
sex"
Two-Thlrds Vote Needed.
A two-thirds affirmative vote was
necessary to pass the resolution, which
was defeated by majority of 80.
Party lines were not strictly drawn
in the fight, although Democratic
Leader Underwood, voicing the atd.
tude OF his party that suffrage is a
State issue, strongly opposed the reso-
luton, while Republican Leader Mann
was one of the chief speakers OF the
suffragists.
Enthusiasm mingled with detection
when Speaker Clark announced the re-
suit, and into the corridors from op-
posite galleries filed the hundreds of
suffragists, with the purple and yellow
sashes, and the red rose.bedecked
anti-suffragists.

WARNING SENT TO
GENERAL CARRANZA
British Ambassador and Oil
Concerns Make Complaint.
PLANTS CLOSED DUE TO TAX
The Threatened Action BY the Con-
stitutionailst Leader Brings Ur.
gent Protest From Great
Britain.

Washington, ID. C.-The United
States government has sent warning
TO General Venustiano Carranza point.
ing out that serious consequences
may follow" his threatened confisca-
tion of foreign-owned oil plants in
Tampico. This announcement was
made by Secretary Bryan after the
latter had conferred with Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British ambassador,
and representatives Of American oil
concerns.
Already the Carranza officials have
practically enforced an embargo on
the expectation Of oil by a big English
company. The British Ambassador, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan, sent an
urgent telegram to the British consul
at Vera Cruz, which he was instructed
TO show to General Carranza. AS the
British feet obtains much of its fuel
from the Tampico oil fields, the pos
sibility Of serious complications over
the Carranza governments attitude is
fully realized by the American govern
ment.
Fear ConfiscatIon.
Mr.. Bryan said that tho foreign
owned oil companies feared confisca-
tion of their wells" by Carranza and
that the urgent representations had
been made to forestall such action.
A decree Issued by the Carranza
government makes 1t impossible for
some of the foreign oil companies TO
operate without the consent of the
Mexican authorities, and some Of the
American concerns, it is said, have
been forced to pay so heavy tax that
they have been practically compelled
TO shut down their plants. Although
there are Dutch interests at Tampico,
no representations have as yet been
made by the Netherlands government.
The prospect of a battle on the
outskirts of Tampico between the ad-
vancing forces of General Villa and
the columns OF Carranza, under Gen.
Pablo Gonzales, is expected here to
develop the situation further. If the
Villa forces are victorious solution
of the problem is confidently expected
because of previous assurances given
by the Villa.Gutierrez officials in that
district.

SPECIAL SESSION is
UP TO THE MEMBERS
Governor Morehead Issues State
ment Severely Criticising State
Treasurer Hall for Stand.
DEMOCRATS SURE IN DEEP HOLE
(From a Staff Correspondents

(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Aug. 31.--(Speclal.)-
The expected break between demo-
cratic state officials came today
when Governor Morehead issued
statement in which he criticised
State Treasurer Hall for his stand
in refusing to cash warrants of de-
partments of the. state after the
state auditor has approved the
claims. issued warrants for their pay
rneht and the secretary OF state has
affixed his signature of approval.
Whether this will mean a special
session of the legislature depends
largely upon the feelings OF the mem
bers of the legislature, the governor
not being favorable to an expense
upon the state of $12, 200 to SIS, 900
'just to satisfy the whims OF one
state officer" as he puts it.
The situation is to lose the income of
the pure food department, amounting to
over 100000 above the expenses of its
administration, besides allowing Nebraska
to become the dumping ground of every
other state for impure foods, ETC., or to
provide some way of getting around II.
Not only will the work of the past years
be wasted and the department have to
start all over again to regain it's lost
prestige, but there are other things to
be considered, compared with which 1t
would seem the expenditure Of $4,000 is
only small consideration.
What Faces the state.
Many democrats are In favor Of the
special session. Some are fearful. that
II a special session is called 1t will give

Client to kill off all democratic chances

the situation 10 to meet It in a straight
business way and solve the trouble.
III a business man had made a vital
mistake which meant loss TO his bust

one democrat today, he would leave no
stone unturned TO rectify the mistake
and the cost would not be taken into
consideration.

The democratic legislature made a
