WOMAN'S VOTE
BILL IN HOUSE
Committee Failed to Make
a Recommendation
Either Way
PUTTING THE FIGHT
UP TO THAT BODY
Bill May Pass with a Pro
posal for Refer
endum

The bill to grant to women the right
to vote, passed by the Senate, will be
taken up in the House this afternoon the
measure having been reported by the ju-
dietary committee without recommended
tion, the committee having been evenly
divided on the subject. The lower branch
seems to be about evenly divided as to
whether or not the bill should pass and
warm arguments pro and con are ex-
pected before the question is decided.
/ There seems to be a general feeling,
| however, that the measure will pass, al
though perhaps with proposal OF amend
ment that the matter be referred to the
| people, something that the Senate de-
/ bated but refused to adopt. That the
| general public of the state is consider
ably divided or all at sea on the prop
ostion is indicated by the fact that
/ floods Of petitions are being received on
the matter This morning, for instance
| petition from two Plainfield organiza-
/ tions favored the passage of the BILL
while petition from women OF Mont
| pelier opposed the extension of further
| rights OF suffrage to women.
| Because of the absence of Mr.. Moore
of Ludlow, who was called home by the
serious illness of his father-in-law, the
eugenics marriage bill, H. 259, was again
| ordered to lie. The bill was a special
order for this forenoon with an amend
ment changing the measure materially.
After agreeing to two amendments,
one substituting the word citizen for
person and the other inserting the words
Concealed upon his person" the House
by rising vote of ll5 TO so killed II.
25G, an act relating to carrying firearms,
introduced BY Mr.. Dickey of Barre Town.
The question "Who is a guide2" was
raised by Mr.. Lance of Cabot when Fl.
800. was taken up for final action. Ar
guments in favor and against the meas
ure were made on the measure, which
would require the registration of guides.
Mr.. AtwelI OF Brandon said he believed
the bill was another one TO work hard
shin on someone. and Messrs. Foote Of
Cornwall and Lance Of Cabot also OPP
posed. while Messrs. Hill of Waterbury
and Rich of Norton favored. Mr. Cas-
well OF Derby moved that the bill be
ordered to lie and was defeated, after
which the bill was killed.
Other Bills Killed.
An act to appropriate $4,000 for the
restoration and preservation of the
building known as the old constitution
house at Windsor was called up by Mr..

favor Of the passage The bill was re-
fused third reading by vote Of 50 to ~.
Likewise, passage was refused 70 5. 4s.
relating to the duties Of the state fac
tory inspector. The bill was laid on tho
table several DAYS ago because of alleged
defects and was brought up to-day at II
O'Clock as a special order. Mr.. Miller OF
Bethel aud Mr.. Morse of Hardwick ex-
planned that the measure would allow the
inspector to see II the child labor laws
arc being lived up TO. Mr.. Stacy Of
Hartford Mr.. Atwcll OF Brandon and Mr..
Demeritt of Duxbury and Mr.. Jones Of
