WASHINGTON, Nov. Questions
running the whole scale of political
economy from prohibition and state
income tax TO woman suffrage are to
be settled by the voters of nine states
today. The states which will settle
some or all Of many perplexing prob
lens are New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky,
New Jersey. Ohio, Mississippi, and
South Carolina In five of these states
New York, Massachusetts, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio, fundamental
constitutional questions are the DOM
imam issues.
The greatest test the votes for
women" issue has ever had in this
country will come up in Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania and New York,
where the combined population of
some 20,0OO.O00 almost doubles the
population of all the states of the
Union which already have given the
ballot to women.
Despite the overwhelming turn
down given the Suffragists in New Jer-
sey at the special election last month,
the leaders have been undismayed
and have pushed their cause vigor-
ously in the states where the same
question is to be settled today 49,
In New York the suffrage issue
shares public interest with the ques-
ton Of adopting the new constitution.
The two issues will be voted on sep
arately. The new constitution adopted
by a convention over which former
Sen. Root presided, gives the cities
of the state a far larger degree Of
self government. Incidentally this
would relieve the legislature from
dealing with many strictly local mat
tiers. The new constitution also seeks
to expedite judicial procedure by the
adjustment Of much Of the red tape
that now contributes to the laws de-
Law. Two separate amendments pro-
vide for a s27,OOO,0O bond issue for
the completion Of the barge canal and
to allow the state assembly TO change

debts previously incurred. The re-
publicans, in the majority in the con-
vention which adopted the new con-
stitution. are not solid in their sup
port Of the measure, and the demo-
Gratis likewise are divided in their
stand.
A constitutional amendment impos-
ing prohibition in Ohio will be the
dominating issue in that state this
year. as 1t was last. The proposed
amendment prohibits the sale or man
ufacture for sale Of any alcoholic
LIQUORS. The vets have modified

amendment more than twice in six

WASHINGTON, Nov. q Great
Britain's attitude toward American
trade is now certain to be made one
of the big issues when congress recon
venes next month. Senators and rep
resentatives arriving here declare that
unless very material concessions are
made, retaliatory embargo constltu-
ton will be pressed. This position IS
almost unanimous with southern SEN
ators who insist that protests SEEM
ingly are useless and that the cotton
interests are suffering greatly.
And officials of the administration
accept the seizure Of the steamer
Hooking. flying the American flag and
enrOute from New York to Norfolk,
as indicating that England has no in
tention of yielding to the 10.0O0word
protest that has just been sent to Lon
don.
It is expected that the United States
will make its protest against the seiz-
ure OF the Hooking short and sharp.
Sec'y Lansing has demanded all of
the facts from the American consular
representative at Halifax and from
Richard G.. Wagner president of the
American Atlantic Co., which
owns the steamer. AS soon as they
are available the protest will be
framed.
The British arrangement for the
bringing to this country of 1857. 0OO,-
600 worth of goods Of German and
Austrian origin now in warehouses in
Rotterdam expired at midnight last
night. Investigation Of the available
statistics indicate that in part at least
the United States has been given a
gold brick" There has been filed
with the trade advisers of the state
department 1900 applications to bring
goods forward. These have accumu-
lated since July I. OF this number
only 81 permits have been granted.
Two hundred applications that had
been sent TO Sir Richard Crawford the
British embasSy's trade representative
here have been returned on technical
tiles. Although Crawford has told the
trade advisers that all applications on
file eventually will be considered, the
importers see no hope for relief un-
der existing conditions because Of the
extremely slow action that is being
taken.
Loss TO be Enormous.
The loss to the importers will be
enormous because all OF the goods in
the Rotterdam warehouses already
have been paid for. A large part Of
these goods were intended for the
Christmas trade and il now is too late
TO bring them through.
Meanwhile protests from importers
in every section OF the United States
continue 30 pour into the state de-
partment Most Of these protests are

GASOLINE PRICES TAKE
FALL OF THREE CENTS

WALIAA WALLA, Aug. l3.--Gaso-
line prices in Walla Walla have ia
ken threecent tumble, dropping
from is to is cents. This followed
an announcement by the whitehouse-
Drumheller, and is the direct result
of letter written Saturday to gaso-
line dealers OF the city by Dahlen
Brothers announcing their intention
to lower prices.
There has been no secret made of
the fact that local dealers had en-
tered combination TO maintain the
price OF automobile fuel at is cents,
which is from five TO seven cents
higher than in coast cities and at
least three cents higher than nearly
any inland city Of this size.
Al recent meeting OF the deal
ers there was some disposition on the
part Of some of them to lower prices,
but others held out for the prevail
ing figure. Consequently, despite the
protests OF automobile owners, the
price was left at IS cents, where a
profit OF about five cents accrued TO
the dealer.
Following a trip up and down the
coast, however, Herbert Dahlen wrote
a letter Saturday to the other deal
ers in which he said prices were too
high and that he intended to cut
them today. This was quickly fol-
lowed by the announcement yester-
day morning and prices this morn
ing dropped. Indeed they dropped
yesterday, when the T S. Steel Ma
chine company and one or two 9TH
ers put up placards announcing gas
.oline for Is cents
II is said that this may precipitate
2 gasoline war, such as brought the
price down to l3 or even 12 cents.
However, this is not considered prob
able, as the wholesale cost is IS
cents, and few dealers care to handle
the commodity without profit

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-The latest

In the windows of two of the
smartest hat shops on Fifth avenue
every single one OF the new fall mod

sole adornment. The big broad flat
black velvet shapes have a flat bead

be a heap more realistic and effec-
lively reproduced in beadwork. Be
that as 1t may single flat blossoms Of
