By Associated Press.

BERLIN, July 7-The hope of many that the privileges of univer- sal suffrage throughout the German states will be granted by the reich stag was considerably dampened to- day by the statement of the Voer- warts that the constitutional commit tee of the reichstag will undoubtedly reject the socialist proposal to en- dorse universal and equal suffrage in the federated states.

 INSIDE PASSAGE
By Associated Press.


 SEATTLE. July 7.-The steamer Northland arriving here today reports having sighted a wooden steam vessel ashore on the beach of Helmkin isl- and while coming to this port through the inside passage.
 The vessel which Is described as of about three hundred tons burden, was apparently being salvaged as a barge was moored alongside and a salvage crew was seen working on the vessel
 As no news of vessel going ashore in this vicinity has been received here, the report is causing some mystification in shipping circles.
 It is thought that the wrecked steamer is a vessel belonging to one of the ranneries along the Alaska coast.
