NEW VICTORY FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
House of Representatives Gre.
ates Committee to Take
Charge of Bills.
VOTE IS 1871 TO 1O7.
Action Assures An Early Fight on the
susan b. Anthony Amendment at
the Next Session.

Washington, Sept. A.-Creation Of a
committee on woman suffrage wal or
dered by the House late to-day by a
vote of 1871 to 107.
III 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 Rep
resentative Raker Of California, or Repre-
sentative Taylor OF Colorado, probably
will be made chairman. Miss Rankin OF
Montana has been suggested, but as she
is a republican, she Is not likely to be
named.
Creation of the committee for which
suffragists long have commended, assures
an early fight on the Susan B. Anthony
suffrage amendment at the next session of
Congress. Both suffragists and anti-suf-
fragists say they are anxious that the
bill be reported as they are confident of
victory on the floor.
The ants, headed by Chairman
Webb, of the judiciary committee, mad
a hard fight to-day against the resolu-
ton. They maintained that it's adop-
ton would be taken as an Endorsement
of White House picketing, and that 1t
was unnecessary inasmuch as the judi
ciary committee planned to report the
amendment resolution early in the next
session.
Miss Rankin and Representative Pou
chairman of the rules committee. who
reported the resolution, made the prin.
cipal speeches for 1t. Mr.. Pou de.
clared that President Wilson had writ.
ten him urging the naming of the com.
mittee, and when Mr.. Webb said he die
not think the President ever had made
such a statement, Mr.. Pou produced The
letter. 1t was not read.
The n suffrage committee. which
is inactive, has been organized severa
years.
While the House was voting four o.

were arrested for displaying banners
