Washington, Jan. l3.-Democratic

days historic contest in the house.
The measure was defeated 204 to l74.
A two-thirds affirmative vote would
be necessary to pass the resolution.
and it was defeated by majority Of
thirty. Party lines were not strictly
drawn in the fight, though Democratic
Loader Underwood. voicing the atti-
tuds of his party on the outrage state.
strongly opposed the resolution. while
Republican Leader Mann was one OF
the chief speakers for the suffrasists.

Italy and the countries of northern
Africa have been buying wheat from
the United States for the first time.
The Danube country and Russia

the heavy demand is that Australia

their crop and ought to export TO-
900, 900 bushels Of wheat a year in

enhaum. and the other large elevator
owners have less wheat on hand now
than usual.
The national association Of retail
grocers adopted a resolution at the
