SUFFRAGE BILL
 LOST IN SENATE
 BY B TO 31 VOTE

Washington, Oct. 2.---The woman suffrage amendment was defeated in the Senate yesterday by a record vote of 5 to 31. The real vote of the Sen- ate, however, as shown by the pairs, was 62 to 34, pr two voted short of the required two-thirds majority neces- sary to submit a constitutional amend ment to the several states.
 Hopes for the passage of the meas ure at this session of Congress is by no means abandoned. Senator Jones, of New -Mxico, chairman of the wo- man suffrage committee, took the par iamentary advantage of changing his vote from aye" to mo" after the measure had been defeated and be- fore the result was announced, and gave notice that he would move for 10. reconsideration of the vote on the next legislative day.
 A motion to reconsider requires only a majority vote of the Senate and cer- tain to prevail. The resolution em- bodying the amendment then will go to the calendar, subject to reconsid- eration at the will of She Senate.
 The hope in this move is that the fall election will send to the Senate the two votes necessary to pass the measure. Four senators who voted against the measure yesterday are serving by appointment and succes sors will be elected November anl will qualify at once.

DEFINITE DATE
 NOT SET FOR
 FIRE LIGHTING
No Intent to Cause Suffer. ing Among Old or the
 Infirm.

Hartford, Oct. The question up- permost in the minds of many do- mestic consumers of coal as to wheth- CT or not there is a regulation in force establishing date for the lighting of fires was answered today by Thomas w. Russell, Federal Fuel Administrator for Connecticut, in an official statement which places the responsibility for burning coal during the autumn squarely up to each in dividual.
 The statement follows:
 There seems to be a widespread impression that we have f1xed>a defin- ite date on which coal fires may be started for heating such places as homes apartment houses, and hotels. No definite date has been set, but at tlbe same time I believe a word of ex- p,Anation and caution is necessary.
 "We have not established a definite date for the reason that living con- ditlons in each family differ so ma terially, anh conditions of health or illness are so vital There is no in- tent. to cause hardship or suffering among the old or the infrm. I may add that we have no intention of es tabEshing definite date.
 Each individual must decide the question for himself, bearing in mind the very real and urgent need for the utmost economy and efficiency in the use of coal during the coming win ter.

WILSON CALLS FOR DRAF TEES
 TO MAN SHIPS

Washington, Oct. 2.---Man the ships! This is the call coming from Presi- dent Wilson, and it is addressed to all those we have had experience of the deep sea as well as to those whose calling in life has not yet been deter mined.
 While the United States is breaking world records in the construction of ships, it is confronted with lack of experienced men to man them.
 The Presidents call is designed to arouse again the old yearning for the men that was SO strong in the last generation. In it he says:
 "The history of American seaman ship is a glowing record of patriot ism, courage and achievement unsur- passed by any people anywhere. I, therefore, confidently call upon all seamen and all men engaged in other occupations who have heretofore been seamen, to give, in connection with the questionnaires they submit to the local draft boards to place them in their proper classification and to give to the government a knowledge of where experienced searaen may be secured when their services are re- quired.
 "The kind of skill that makes an efficient seaman can only be obtained at sea. There can be no safe, eff cient management of vessels that does not include a large proportion of officers and crew having skill and ex- perience. It is indispensable in emer- gencies such as we must be prepared | to meet in times of war
 Tt is the patriotic duty of young men who join in the merchant ser vice to make every effort to learn their work in the shortest possible time, and of the skilled men to assist these young men in their efforts II is the duty of owners and managers of vessels to cooperate in this work and to give to the young men such shipmates and such treatment as will cause them to respect the service and build up within them desire to make | it their life work.
 'The work of the seamcn is so vi tally important to the conduct of the war that it has become necessary for the government to provide deferred classification for them in it's efforts to secure a sufficient supply of skilled men for the maintenance of speed ant
 safety.
 Having in mind the brilliant rec.
 ord of the American merchant ma
 rine, the honorable position it occu pies in economic affairs, and the i'm portant part it plays in winning tht
 war, every seaman should give to tn,
 service the best there is in him, anC
 should not hesitate to accept deferred
 classification when the governmen
 has decided that such deferred classi
 fication is necessary, no matter hoy
 eager he may be to join the fightin,
 forces. of the army or the navy"

800 New Cases of
 Influenza in State

Hartford, Oct 2-More than 800 new cases of Spanish influenza were reported to the State Board of Health yesterday. The new cases are chiefly in Hartford and New Haven counties and bring the total number of cases in the state we'll above 10000. Accord ing to Deputy Health Commissioner T. Eben Reeks the epidemic is on the wane in Windham and Holland coun- ties and is spreading westward, being now particularly active in the central part of the state.
 pr. Reeks made the point that the great majority of pneumonia cases oc- cur when the patients have not gone to bed when the disease was in it's in cipient stages. The attempt to "get by when suffering with grip or in fluenza is weakening and has been responsible for a great majority of the deaths from pneumonia.
