Many Applications Filed, and
Public Hearings Are Set
for November Is

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-All foreign
owned insurance companies, whether
controlled in enemy countries or not
which are required under the trading
with the enemy act to obtain licenses
to continue doing business in this coun-
try, were required to have their appli-
cations for such licenses in the Treas
ury Department tonight. Officials in
the department could not say whether
all the. companies affected had fled
applications or not, but very large
number of applications has been made.
Action must be taken on these appli-
cations by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo within thirty days. On No
yember 10 a public hearing will be
given, at which the representatives of
the companies will attempt to show
why their concerns should DO per-
mitted 10 continue in business in this
country. From the protests which the
department has been receiving it IS
evident that many persons will appear
at this hearing to urge the danger OF
permitting this source OF information
TO Germany, and, as result, the time
may be evenly divided between the two
sides

Torchlight Parade
Marks Sufragists'
Last Rally for Vote

Fifty sufTragists held a torchligh'
Darade last night through Greenwich
Village. After they marched, they
perched themselves on an improvised
platform at Arlington Square, and for
three hours explained why the time
had come for the women 20 get the
vote.
The crowds were small, compared 20
those that hundreds OF suffrage rallleS
have brought forth in the past. Yet
the suffragists regarded the modest
melting as a milestone in the political
history OF the state. II was the last
dcmonstration for suffrage of TINS
campaign. And they stamped it as the
last campaign meeting in behalf Of
suffrage that will ever be held in this
state. because they believed to-day's
vote on amendment No. viii make
woman suffrage an accomplished fact.
Just before the meeting broke up
Mrs. sherman Corbett twirled from the
platform her last verbal shot In the
campaign. at is not the women that
are on trial in this election she said.
"They have shown their worth. 1t IS

Negro Segregation
Unconstitutional
Supreme Court Issues De-
cree on Ordinance Passed
in Louisville

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Louisville's
negro segregation ordinance was to-day
declared unconstitutional by the Su-
RENE Court. Tho decision affects SINH
lar ordinances in Baltimore, Richmond
ST. Louis and many Southern cities.
In rendering the opinion, Justice Day
said:
"The authority of the state TO pass
laws in the exercise Of the police
power, having for their object the pro
motion Of the public health, safety and
welfare, is very broad and has been
affirmed in numerous and recent decis-
ions of this court. But II is equally
we'll established that the police power
broad as IL Is, cannot justify the pas
sage Of law or ordinance which runs
counter 70 the limitations Of the Fed
eral Constitution.
THAT there exists a serious and diff
fcult problem, arising from feeling OF
race hostility which the law is power
less 20 control and TO which IL must
give a measure Of consideration. may
be freely admitted. But its solution
cannot be promoted by depriying citi-
zens Of their constitutional rights end
privileges. The right which the or
dinance annulled was the civil right OF
a white man to dispose Of his property
if he saw fit TO do so to a person OF
color, and OF colored person to make
such disposition to white person.
ave think this attempt TO proven,
the alienation Of the property in ques-
tion to q person Of color was not q
legitimate exercise Of the police power
Of the state and is in direct violation
Of the Constitution"

Miss Hay Denounces Pickets

Miss Mary Garrett Hay made a final
statement last night on the militant
pickets who were holding street meet
ings in New York yesterday.
"If these women have no interest in
the New York campaign" said Miss
Hay, they should have some regard
for the one million women in the state
who are asking for the vote and who
have tried TO convince the men that
they are not obstructionists.
Their action in bringing themselves
before the public in these last hours
Of our campaign shows poor taste, to
say the least. IL compels us again to
say that they do not represent the
great body Of suffragists who have
gone on record as opposed TO their
tactics.
eve know, however, that the voter
will discriminate between a few mis-
guided fanatics and the great mass Of
loyal, patriotic suffragists, who stand
stanchly by the government and the
President"

COPENHAGEN, Nov. SIT is gen.
orally believed in diplomatic circles
here that the visit TO Berlin to-day
of Count Ottokar Czernin, the Aus
tro- Hungarian Foreign Minister, may
be a preliminary TO new peace oner
by the Central Powers.
An attempt is being made by the
psn-German forces to use the victory
in italy as lever to overturn the
previous decisions on peace terms and
particularly to coax or bludgeon Count
Czernin and Chancellor Won Hertling
into revision of the attitude taken
in the replies to Pope Benedict's peace
note.
The Tsonzo offensive has been re-
yealed as being even more pollticai
than military in character, designed

will perhaps force Italy TO abandon the
war. but also TO bolster up the very
shakv war spirit in Austria ard re

The incorporating class OF the
German newspapers, notabl ~ the 10
kal Anzeiger," is backing the game by
a publicity campaign in which the snS-
gestion IL introduced that the revision
thew desire is already a decided TACT,
the "Lokal Anzeiger" pretending that
even the Radicals are now baeksllders
on the peace programme, while the
"Tageszeitung" attempts to dazzle the
Austrian fancy with view OF a tlanS-
Anime kingdom giving the Hapsburgs
the mastery of the Adriatic, Ii Austria
will only support similar programme
for Germany in the West.
The Austrians show no signs OF re-
spending TO the Wait, and Emperor
Charles, knowing the difficult interior
situation, has IT, his various kilograms
regarding the Austro-German victories
avoided encouragement to the aspira-
tons for Austrian extensions IN the
indicated direction.
Austria's food difficulties, the All
gemcine Zeitung," Of Vienna, says II
learns have become notably sharper in
consequence of Hungsry's fiat refusal
OF Austrian proposals for a supply of
