White Wings Protected
If Pending Bill Passes IS

AUSTIN, Texas, March 20.--It will be
illegal TO kill doves or ''white wings, com
monty known a. doves" except between
December | and February l if the senate
passes a bill that already has been san
toned by the house. The house vote on the
bill was 80 to 55, showing that sentiment
in that body was nearly evenly divided.
A number of North Texas representa-
tives. led by Barry Miller, Dallas. sought
defeat of the bill claiming that doves in
North Texas ali migrated to South Texas
before December /. and that sportsmen IN
North Texas thus wou'd be denied the
privilege of hunting this game. Mr. Mil
Ter also contended that these doves were
fatiened on Northern Texas wheat before
they migrated south and did not eat worms
ana bugs n proponents of the bill claimed.

AUSTIN, Texas, March 1S.-The Sen
ate chamber was given over tonight to a
discussion of equal suffrage by the respec-
tive State leaders of the pro and anti sides
of that cause. Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cum
ningham of Galveston, president of the Tex
as Equal Suffrage Association and Mrs.
James b. Wells of Brownsville, president
of the Association Opposed to Woman 5
Suffrage, were the speak kers.
The audience waited from s until Q
o'clock for the addresses. In the mean
time, the distinguished speakers, through
emissaries sent from one side OF the hall
to the other, were concerned, with the
question of who should speak first. Mrs.
Wells insisted that she was scheduled to
speak at . o'clock, and Mrs. Cunningham
declined 20 open the discussion. The reso
luton granting Mrs Cunningham he use
of the Senate chamber provided .ha: she
might speak before or after Mrs. W'1s.
She chose to speak after.
Mrs. We.is was escort ii To the ro>tium
by Senators X. M.shrod Observation-Disclosures
and John Bailey of Cuero. The latter,
after being presented by the president of
the Senate, Mr.. Decherd, introduced Mrs.
Wells as the "Mother of two boys who
are facing the bullets on the battlefield
of France, to preserve democracy Mrs.
Wells wore two bright stars, signifying
that offering to her country.
Disclaiming any intention of entering
into a debate on the general issue of the
merits of woman suffrage, Mrs. Wells
spoke from her view point as to the con-
stitutionality of the bill pending in the
Senate. She especially called attention to
the provision allowing women to vote with
out payment of poll taxes, and declared
that if they want the same privileges and
rights they should be subject to the same
obligations as men.
Mrs. Wells said that the prospective
candidates for office will run the risk
of having their election contested in the
result of the pending measure. She
declared the legislature has no right to
endanger the primary election by its
action. She also declared that separate
ballot boxes should he provided for men
and women. Quoting from statistics, she
said that in various elections which were
taken as a test of municipal housekeep-
ing the number of women voting was
relatively small. She said that the women
suffragists are asking the ballot in ex-
change for their services in connection
with the war.
Mrs. Cunningham was escorted to the
rostrum by Senator Floyd. President
Decherd, in his Introductory speech dem
Onstrated his sentiments when he said
"These are new and glorious times and
we must be dull of comprehension if we
do not read the signs.
He paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. Cum
nIngham. who at once disclaimed any
purpose to discuss the constitutionality Of
the pending bill but said that able lawyers
have approved it, including those in the
legislature who have signed their names
To it.
