LOWER BODY OF LEGISLATURE
VOTES TO SUBMIT TO PEOPLE
QUESTION OF FULL SUI.
FRAGE TO WOMEN.
WOULD BE AMENDMENT
TO STATE CONSTITUTION
Measure Passed Is Peterson Bill,
Which Now Goes to Senate-Was
Opposed by One Wing of Suf-
fragists Who Wanted Suf-
frage by Statute.

st. Paul, Feb. 22.-By an over
whelm1ng vote, the Minnesota House
of Representatives passed the bill
providing for the submission to the
people of constitutional amendment
granting suffrage to women. The vote
was IS to Al.
The bill now goes to the Senate. If
passed by the upper body, it will be
voted on by the people in November,
1918, at the same time that the pro-
hibition amendment is considered. A
close fight in the Senate is predicted.
The fight for the bill was the tam
est suffrage contest ever witnessed
in the Minnesota legislature. Hereto
fore, there has been interse interest.
The day when a. suffrage bill came up
for vote was always real ''field
day."
The only thing that showed the ear
marks of the old time suffrage field
day. was the vast crowd of women in
the galleries.
Some of the leading suffragists
throughout the state have opposed the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment. This group, headed by Mrs.
Andreas Iceland of Minneapolis, have
been working for the statutory sui
frage bill, granting women the right
to vote for presidential electors.
The passage of the constitutional
amendment bill presages the defeat of
the statutory bill, according to many
legislators. Anti-suffragists, while op-
posed to suffrage on principle, pre-
ferred the submission of the constitu.
tional amendment to the passage of
the statutory bill.
There was lot of oratory before
the vote, but it all lacked the old time
fervor. The proponents were led by
A. M. Peterson Of Coleraine, author
of the bill. Others who spoke for
the bill included Representatives Lea
witt Corning, H. H. Holmes, Oscar
Stenvick and P. H. Konzen.
Thomas H. Girling of Robbinsdale
declaring that the fight was |too one.
sided" spoke against the bill. He de-
clared that a law should be passed
making all men vote. George H. Nor.
din of st. Paul also spoke against the
bill. The only excitement of the day
came over a parliamentary tangle.

were soon removed to an empty tene-
ment across the street and to other
nearby houses. The telephone linemen
and employees Of the Twin State Gas
& Electric Company were soon on the
scene and made safe the wires
During the height of the fire, but be-
fore flames had made much progress in
the front of the Covey house, fire was
discovered on the roof of the ell at
the rear of the house Of Peter j. Hop

house is slated, but the roof of the ell
is shingled and it was necessary to

being burned
The firemen kept the front of Mr.

up against the next house in prepare

by sparks.
Mr.. Convey was asked during the fire
if he could give the origin and replied

basement of the barn buildings, but
this could not be verified.
Some years ago when the water main
was laid through Western avenue +.
c. Crosby suggested to property owners
along the line that he would put in hy-
drant connections for the cost of the

no favor. The result is that if this

of a similar kind bring property own

will be much more expensive than il
would be had the connections been in

is known along the water front as
Buck, the life-saver," jumped into
the water yesterday. wearing his
clothes and shoes. and with a briar
pipe in his mouth, and rescued his

cue him by forming a human chain.
Before he could sink the third time
Mcneil had him by the coat collar
