(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Creation
of a committee on woman suffrage
was ordered by the house late today
by vote of Isl to 107.
The ways and means committee
will name the personnel of the new
committee which will assume charge
of all suffrage bills now handled by
the strongly anti-suffrage judiciary
committee. Either Representative
Raker of California or Representative
Taylor of Colorado, probably will be
made chairman. Miss Rankin of Mon
tana has been suggested, but as she
is Republican, is not likely to be
named.
Assures Fight.
Creation of the committee, for
which the suffragists long have con-
tended, assures a fight on the Susan
B. Anthony suffrage amendment at
the next session of congress. Both
suffragists and anti-suffragists say
they are anxious that the bill be re-
ported as they are confident of vic
tory on the floor.

Webb of the judiciary committee,
made hard fight today against the
resolution. They maintained its adop-
ton would be taken as an endorse
ment of White House picketing and

report the measure early in the next

tee, who reported the resolution, made
the principal speeches for it. Mr..
Pou declared President Wilson had
written him urging the naming of the
committee and when Mr.. Webb said
he did not think the president ever
had made such a statement, Mr.. Pou
produced the letter. 1t was not read.
