It was voted that the directors be authoriz- ed to make the purchase at once thereby bringing to a happy eoncIu- sion matter which has been drag ging for several months with the is- sue in doubt. Dr. Smith joined the company as an associate member of Lew Warner, Herman Smith and AL bert Baldwin as active members A committee consisting of Chief Gun ningham, George s. Banks and J. B. Sanford was appointed to report at the next meeting Recommendations regarding the fire district boundaries. Some think that the present district should be fixed because the spirit of the department favors the extension Of the service to the largest territory possible. The next monthly meeting is to be held at the town house. John Muennich has expressed an intention of resigning as the companyss secre- tary and treasurer by reason of a press of other business duties, but the resignation has not yet been formally presented and all the members hope that he will reconsider his decision.
 On Saturday last there occurred a double exchange of titles to Ridge properties by which John Muennicn conveyed to Mrs. Lillie Burkett and
 Miss Ida Woo1worth of Brooklyn his present residence and received con- veyance from Henry S. Shaw of the Isstter's holdings in the same neigh.

A water supply and plumbing are being put in the house and the blacksmith shop is to be removed several rods SC as to join the barn. Various other improve 1nents including the addition of a piazzi are to be made. Mrs. Burkett and Miss Woelworth are to come to the Ridge about March 1.

DEFEAT IN NEW JERSEY
CLASSED As TEMPORARY
Mrs. Laura P. Morgan Predicts Ulti.
mate Success for Suffrage-Views
of Miss Paul.

That in view of. the fact that it is
almost unprecedented for a state to
win its first campaign for suffrage, ow-
ing to difficulty in overcoming the
popular prejudice agains it, the defeat
sustained yesterday in New Jersey may
be looked on as only temporary. was
the declaration made by Mrs. Laura
Puffer Morgan, member of the con-
gressional committee Of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
| today.
I'VE realized that in New Jersey we
Mrs Morgan.
The state has a VIGOROUSLY corrupt
political machine, and it has a smaller
percentage of no-license area and a
greater percentage of saloons to the
population than any other state in the
Union. When l was campaigning in
Jersey City last June we never spoke
on street corner where there was not
at least one saloon. More often there
were three. This indicates the strength
Of the element which openly announced
its opposition to US.
Predicts Ultimate Success.
Eve consider the campaign well
worth while. 1t has made a vast diff
ference in the complexion of New Jer-
sey. and we never move backward.
Five years from now. if not before,
New Jersey will have full suffrage.
THE immense amount of hard work
which the women have put into this
struggle is not wasted. because in no
other way than through a state CAM
paign can the interest of the people
in suffrage be aroused. And in the
last analysis, in a democracy, it is the
popular demand that wins. Incidental
ly, the women have gained a very VAL
liable experience in practical politics."
Stimulates for National Suffrage.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman Of the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage,
declared today that the defeat in New
jersey would stimulate the movement
FOR an amendment to the national
Constitution enfranchising women.
Women are now beginning to feel"
said she. that the state referendum
campaigns in which the question of
women's political freedom is left in
the hands of the most ignorant man
voters in the state, are too wasteful
and indirect to be longer continued.
They are turning to the national gov
eminent. asking enfranchisement by
action OF the United States Congress-"
Misc Paul gave notice of a renewed
campaign at the coming session.

JOHN j. CLEARY,
President.

The most efficient thing in the United
States is the postal service, and this. in
spite Of the personal and politica, ele-
ment which, in common with all great
enterprises. may be found in it. This was
the declaration of Oliver p. Newman,
chairman of the board of Commissioners
of the District of Columbia, in his ad-
dress of welcome delivered this morning
at the opening session in the Raleigh
Hotel Of the annual convention of the AS
ISOLATION of Postmasters of the first and
second class.
The postal service is more eficient
than any great corporation or public
utility within the borders of this coun-
try, said Mr.. Newman, to the several
hundred delegates who assembled in
the large ballroom, under the presi-
dency Of John J. Cleary of Terre Haute,

new diplomatic post.
Although republican in politics,
Ambassador Fletcher was elevated from
the rank of minister to ambassador by
President Wilson after a long and sue
cessful record in the diplomatic serv-
ice. He was educated for the law, and
practiced in Chambersburg, Pa, for
many years. He enlisted with the
Rough Riders, and later served In the
Philippines. He began as second sec
rotary to the American legation In
Cuba in 1902. and has been IN the diplo-
matte service ever since in China, Por-
tugal and Chile.
Mr.. Arredondo issued last night the
following formal statement:
Thinks Peace Will Come Soon.
Recognition of the government OF
Mr.. Carranza Is a triumph of pan
American policy and without doubt will
bring about very soon the re-establish-
ment Of peace and normal conditions
in Mexico. For this, her sister repub-
lies and their worthy representatives
here deserve sincere and fraternal felic-
itation. as this act of justice has been
done for one Of the republics which
has been and shall continue to be an
integral part Of the international Amer
lean concert.

to have the protection to which they
are entitled by international law and

to California's sentiments Of regard by
