SuFERAG|SIS PLEASED
At PROGRESS OF CAUSE
See Further signs of Early Victory In

Washington. ID. c., Dec. 23.-Tele-
grams of surprised delight over the
vote of "a to Is in the United States
Senate in favor of permitting women
in the District OF Columbia to vote
have deluged national suffrage leaders
here. The fact that there will be no
exercise of the franchise. due to the
d. feat of the whole referendum amend
ment a little later, does not detract in
the slightest from the pleasure of the
suffragists, since the vote of 81 to
10 in the upper house was clean cut.
and not complicated by an extraneous
issues. The suffragists have Senator
Iardwick, of Georgia. to thank for
this, as he on a point of order obtained
division Of the question, with the
result that vote on the simple amend
ment TO eliminate the word male"
from the suffrage qualifications was
put and carried tremendously.
Utter Amusement was expressed in
the kilograms, and by the leaders
themselves at the sudden conversion
TO suffrage of such Senators as Pen

BURTON LOSES
IN HIGH COURT
Increases Made BY Al
dermen Legal, Says
Ruling

LANSING, Mich, March 3.-The
state supreme court late Thursday
ruled that the Detroit city council
has the right to Ak the salaries OF
city officers, their assistants and
clerks, under the charter amend
ment of 1914. without reference TO
the board Of estimates.
This is the most important out
come OF the suit OF Clarence NJ.
Burton against Controller Engel and
the city Of Detroit. Burton recently
attacked the validity of certain sal
airy increases made by the council
last spring. alleging that the board
OF estimates has sole power TO fix
salaries.
Except in the cases OF the boards
Of health and education, the court
rules that the board OF estimates
has no authority. The ruling az
fected 25 ordinances, fixing the sal
aries of clerks and officials in al
most every department OF the city
government.
The boards OF health and educa
ton, the court finds, are clearly un
der control OF the estimators.
In closing, Justice Kuhn says
at also follows that the various
other ordinances. fixing salaries, ex
cept as in this opinion indicated
were legal enactments OF the coun
ell, and the officers, clerks and EN-
ployes therein named are entitled tc
tho salary therein fixed. except as
they come under the inhibition OF
