DELEGATE BILL FAv-
oRABLY REPORTED Hy CON-
MiTTEE OF SENATORS. ~
PROHIBITION ISSUE =, 49,.
e. NOW BEFORE CONGRESS
Question May Be Submitted to Refer
endum vote-Foes Of Suffrage and
Failure to Regulate Negro Vote in
District Stand in Way Of Enactment
of Measure Into Law. .-
Especial Correspondence.l

Washington, April I7.-H congress
enacts the Poindexter delegate bill,
which has been favorably reported
from the senate committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia, the residents OF the
national capital, who have heretofore
not been allowed to WELD the ballot
will be permitted to exercise the fran
chise to limited extent. The Poin-
dexter bill provides for the election OF
a delegate to the house from the LIS
trict Of Columbia, this delegate to have
the same status as delegates from the
territories.
1t has repeatedly been urged that the
district, which has little real oppor-
tunity of influencing the action OF con-
sress as to local affairs, ought to have
a. delegate in the house and senate
also The plan for a delegate in the
senate, however. did not find favor in
committee.
The District Of Columbia Is at pres
ent without not only elections, but the
machinery for holding elections. II the
Poindexter bill Is passed, there Will oe
provided most of the election machin-
cry which would be needed for any sort
of an election in Washington.
One of the issues before congress
now is whether there shall be refer
endum to the voters of the district on
the question of prohibition. Opponents
of the referendum object that there Is
no machinery for an election and tnat
under the circumstances a referendum
would be a farce. 1t is quite possible
that if the basic machinery for elec-
tons is created, the referendum to the
voters of the district will be resorted
to at times by congress.
Two Things in Way.
Two things stand in the way OF the
enactment of the bill at this session.
One Is that there Is jam OF legisia
ton caused by the slowness or con-
gress in getting rid Of important oiiis.
Little disposition has been shown In
either house to rush measures. An IN
dication of this is that the house naval
committee has been taking testimony
on the naval bill most of the session
since December and 1t has not hnlsheo
the naval bill yet.
The second obstacle in way OF tn<
Poindexter bilV is that it raises square
ly the woman suffrage issue ana aiso
brings in the proposition whether tne
coiored population here shall be given
opportunity to cast the ballot
Under the bill as reported. women
would have lust as free right as men

Chicago. April 1s-Hog prices weak
ened for a time today owing to a large
unsold supply left over from last
night.
Eleven markets received 1876. 700 hogs
Monday, or S.40O less than last Mon
day, $4,000 more than year ago and
$4,000 more than two years ago. Re
ceipts at most markets were larger
ceived less than a week ago. Total for
1916 to date l0.4G6. 900, of 1.493000 more
than corresponding time 1914.
Cattle.
Cattle offerings were not plentiful.
Considering the fact that it is holy
week the general market gave good
account of itself in Wow of the gen
erous run. The supply at 1880 stood
against 1875 week ago and 1865 a
! year ago. while it was mainly steer
run, proportion of she stock being
light. There were 49,500 cattle at
seven markets comparing with $4,000
a week ago and 45,S0O a year ago.
Beef abstinence this week will de-
prive the markets Of a lot Of demand
and cessa ton Of kosher killing late in
the week is a factor that must be
reCkoned with in the local demand
situation in midweek, altho from pres
ent indications there is no serious de-
preston Of values in sight for any rea-
son. On the contrary, packers and
shippers free buying is an evidence
that the beef steer crop available now
is we'll needed
Sheep.
Sellers Of sheep and lambs resisted
attempts TO cut down quotations.
There was a comparatively big run
thru the west for this year. on Mon
day. inasmuch as ovine stock is reia-
lively scarce in the feed lots. The
combined run today stood the largest
at the seven markets since March 8.
when $4,000 was the aggregate supply
Today's combined run at seven mar
kets footed $500. against $4,000 a
week ago. $4,000 a year ago and $1,000
the corresponding Monday two years
ago The surprise Of the day was the
arrival Of $4,000 at Kansas City and
1880 at Omaha while even st. JOSEPH
was credited with 5000.

aged holders were the best sellers OF

of the difference between May and July
There was apparently no scarcity OF

territory. arc bringing support to the
July. Millers here were willing to pay
better prices than for the two previous
days, altho premiums in general were
quoted unchanged.
Corn-Reports Of continued export
demand and buying by some Of the
larger locals held corn steady at
moderate advance over last nights
close. Elevator interests were buying
the nearby deliveries and selling July
and September. Some OF tn commits

buyers of the later months.
Oats-Oats again were in good de-
mand from brokers, who usually act
for cash houses and for the seaboard
The spot article was also in good de-
