SUFFRAGE GETS
 SMALL SETBACK
(ASsOcfated Presgl


 WASHINGTON, D. C., May G. By margin of one lone vote, the senate today defeated resolution proposing that the senate on next Friday consider the woman suffrage amendment The supporters of the movement say that the resolution will be brought up again at an early date, and they are confident that the next vote will be favorable.
 The senators opposing the consid- eration of the amendment now were careful to explain that their attitude was not necessarily based upon op- position to the amendment itself, but that they were not convinced of the wisdom of bringing the matter up now, when there are a number of strictly war measures before the body which require immediate atten- ton and which must necessarily suf- fer from neglect if the suffrage ques- tion is opened at this time.

OFFER LIBERTY
 BONDS FOR BIG
 FIGHT JULY 4TH
"A Assoclated PressS


 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, May GA strong effort is being made to SC. cure the match between Jess Will lard and Fred Fulton scheduled for July next for this city. J. P. Null vihill. boxing promoter of this city. has offered $10O,00O in Liberty Bonds for the match. He proposes to give the winner of the bout $75.000 and the loser $25,0OO in Lib erty Bonds for a 20.round bout to a decision.
 Mulvihill states that if his propo- sition is attractive to the fighters he will endevaor to secure the Yale Bowl to stage the match, giving $10,000 to the American Red Cross society in lieu of rental for the great amphitheatre. Local authori- ties will probably raise no objec- tion to the match being held here.
 The offer was communicated to both Willard and Fulton today. While the promoter is apparently confident that he will secure the attraction, others are inclined to doubt his sue cess. It is generally thought prob able that Willard is figuring on stag ing the match himself, cutting off any profit by the promoters. It is believed that this would explain the difficulties which have been encoun- tered by other promoters who have endeavored to secure the fight. Will lard himself is noncommittal on the subject.

in the discovery that the dreaded
