TO
 MAKE ANOTHER TRY FOR BILL
Already Planning For New Vote on Federal Amend
 ment in November.

Washington, Oct. 2.---Characterising the Senate defeat of the Suffrage amendment as "only temporary" sup porters of the measure today began preparations to force another vote probably after the November cleo tions. Despite the intervention of President Wilson in the heated don- test by means of an address to the Senate Monday and personal letters yesterday to anti-Suffrage Democratic members the senate defeated the res olution by vote of 54 to 30---two votes less than the necessary two- thirds
 By a parliamentary manoeuver af- ter the vote had been taken, but be- fore the result was announced, Sen ator Jones of New Mexico, chairman of the Woman Suffrage committee, changed his vote from the affirmative to the negative and thus kept the res olution on the senate calendar. Other wise the resolution would have gone over until the December 1919 session and then would have to be repassed by the House before the Senate could act
 Tentative plans of the suffrage forces today called for postponement tof vote until after the fall cleo | tions. Many expressed themselves as disappointed but not dismayed" and all believed that the attitude mani- fested by President Wilson would aid in the obtaining of favorable action in time to permit state legislatures meet ing next January to vote on ratifica- ton.

GAMES AT YALE ONLY SATURDAY
 AFTERNOONS

New Haven, Oct. 2-Athletic con Nests among Yale students may be held next Saturday afternoon, the only free time for men in the Stu dents Army training corps at the University, according to an outline of athletic policy by Prof. N. Corwin. today. He also expresses a belief in the need of athletics.
 In his formal statement Prof. Cor win says In part:
 "The war has assigned to colleges and universities the task of discover ing and developing officer material for the United States Army. This new task will involve radical and far-reaching changes in most mat ters which concern college life. The need is pressing and the work must be intensive |, we therefore, do not know what place in this new regime can be assigned to athletics . Any instance upon our usual practice in these matters could only embarrass those charged with the accomplishment of the present great task. Although the men in all units have full schedules---some fifty odd hours a week---Saturday afternoons will be free and 1t ought to be pos sible to have numerous inter-unit i'm promptu contests which would be fun for both participants and the spectators.
 "All of our athletic facilities have been placed at the disposal of the commandant."

|SLACKER RAIDINC ! WILL BE RESUMED
Squad of Experts Awaits Approval of President to
 Renew Operations.

Washington, Oct. 2.--Slacker raids are to be resumed by the Department of Justice if the President approves the plans of Attorney General Greg ory, which have already been endors- ed by the War Department. The raids will be conducted in a number of Eastern cities as well as on the Pacific coast,
 There has been a lull in such activi ties since the raids in New York, which preceded the last registration of men from IS to 45 years. Following the stir in New York, however, different methods will be pursued in the new raids. They will be conducted by quail flied agents of the Department of Jus tice with the cooperation of the mii- tary and other forces. Arrests will not be made except by duly qualified officers deemed by the Department to have proper discretion. Investigation of the New York raids showed mem bers of cooperating agencies were exercising police powers.
 It is likely the new raids will be conducted by a specially trained flying squadron which will go from city to city. It is believed that such organ iZation would obviate repetition of mistakes made in New York which were ascribed to the overzealousness of volunteer workers.
 It is believed the President will ap- prove the Department of Justice plans. The Attorney General and his advisers feel that such a course is nec- essary to purge the nation of slackers and give the selective draft the fullest force and effect.

ALWAYS RELIABLE
Bridgeport Experiences Go-
 ing Back For Five Years.

Kidney weakness can be cured.
 But what caused it once will cause it again.
 Here's a Bridgeport man who has had several attacks.
 Several times in four years MT. Car rier has used Doan's Kidney Pills.
 He says that Doan's have never failed him.
 Five years ago MT. Carrier publicly endorsed Doan's.
 He now confirms his statement. What better proof of merit? > Proved by years of experience.
 Told by Bridgeport people.
 This is convincing testimony:
 James F. Carrier, All Central Ave, Bridgeport, says: "I had kidney and bladder rtrouble. I had severe pains in my sides and other symptoms of weak kidneys. A box of Doans Kid ney Pills certainly did me lot of good" Statement given August 16, 1912)
 Uses Doan's Occasionally.
 Over four years later. or on Decem- Der 5, 1916, MT Carrier said: "I don't know of anything so good for weak kidneys as Doan's Kidney Pills. I still use them occasionally and they keep my back and kidneys in. good shape"
 Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doans Kidney Pi1ls-the same that MT. Carrier had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.-Adv.
