NO WOMAN SUFFRAGE
FOR THE PORTO R|CANS
House Strikes Provision From Meas
ure by a Vote of
80 to SO.

The House struck from the Porto
Rican bill yesterday by a vote of so to SO
an amendment designed to grant wom-
an suffrage to the islands. The bill
then passed without roll call, virtually
as introduced.
The vote on the amendment showed
complete disregard of party lines,
though more democrats than repub-
leans voted against it. 1t was inserted
in the bill Monday by Minority Leader
Mann.
Representatives of suffrage organiZa-
tons, who had made no attempt to
have the amendment inserted in the
bill. were out in force in the galleries
and showed disappointment over the
failure of the proposal.
They hoped for record vote, but
Mr.. Mann did not request one.
The bill as passed gives the Porto
Rfcan government all of its internal
revenue regardless of whether the
goods on which it is paid are used in
Porto Rico or this country. Hereto
fore revenues on goods used in the
United States have gone 10 the fed
eral treasury.
Property and educational qualihca-
tons are provided for applicants for
citizenship under the measure. and the
employment for children under four
teen years of age in Injurious or haz-
ardous occupations would be pro-
hibited.
The measure now goes to the Senate.

FEWER PIANOS ARE MADE.
Records for 1914 Show Decrease,
But Increase in Talking Machines.

Decreases in the manufacture of pi-
amos in 1914 as compared with 1909. but
an enormous increase in the manufac-
ture of talking machines, are shown
in report just issued by the census
bureau. While the report also shows
that the number of establishments
manufacturing pianos and organs de-
creased, it calls attention to an in
crease in value of nearly per cent
The number of pianos of all kinds
manufactured decreased from 1854 ,545
in 1909 to 325 1913 in 1914. or 1913 per
cent, and the value decreased from
s5s, 493, $40 to s56, 1896, 362. or 3s per
sent. The decrease in this branch of
the industry is due entirely to the fall
ing off in the output Of upright pianos
without player attachments. which
decreased in number from 321.3O9 in
1909 to 227,556 in 1914, or by 29.2 per
cent. and in value from $45.1so.176 to
s3l 1855. Ss1. or by 800 per cent. During
the same period, however. the number
of upright pianos made for or with
player attachments increased from 34,-
49, in 1909 to s7,S0S in 1914, or by
1916 per cent. and their value in
creased from S9,275.001 to SIC, s92, 514,
or by 1855 per cent.
In the manufacture u organs there
was a falling off in number. but a de-
cided increase in value, the number
having decreased from IS, 1886 in 1909 to
A.. 500 in 1914. or by 34.5 per cent. while
the value increased from $53o9. 016
to $6.37s.912. or by 20.2 per cent

JUSTIFIES MAIL SEIZURES,
British Prize Court Condemns 1,4OO
Parcels of Rubber.

LONDON. May 24.-Fourteen hundred
parcels of rubber which were taken
from the first-class mails on tho Dutch
steamer .Eelria while en- route from
South America to Holland have been con-
demned in the prize court. The parcels
were said to be destined for Germany.
The attorney general in presenting
the case pointed out that there had
been much criticism by neutrals of IN
reference by the British government
with the letter mails on the ground
that it was a violation of The Hague
convention. and he declared 1t ought
to be realized that there had been an
attempt on a very large scale to use
the shelter of The Hague convention
in smuggling contraband goods into
Germany.
The Judge said the parcels in ques-
ton had been dishonesty sent by post
as though they were postal correspond
ence, and added that under The Hague
convention 1t was expressly laid down
that postal correspondence should not
cover and include parcels.
