COMPULSORY WORK LAW
FAR-REACHING, HE SAYS

In an opinion addressed yesterday
by Attorney General Richie to George
A. Malone, director of the Maryland
State Compulsory Work Bureau, the
Attorney General declares that the
law applies to aliens as well as to
native born. Mr.. Richie, in his opin-
ion, says
The work law was passed as an
emergency measure. The act specific
ally authorizes the Governor to re-
quire every able-bodied male person
between IS and 90 years of age, in
elusive, to comply with the provisions
of the law"
The obvious purpose (of the act)
is to make producers out of the idle
so that every person may be engaged
in laboring for the protection and well
fare of all. This law cannot be con-
strued to allow any class of persons
to remain idle when the States needs
the labor of all. The law applies TO
aliens as we'll as citizens.

in Clarke county which is 100 years
old, and is said to be the only water
mill now in operation in the country.
The mill, which is three miles from

high, to the overshot water wheel

The mill is of frame, SO by 50 feet
in size. and the wheel has diameter
of 20 feet, though it is said there is
room for one of 26 feet. The tunnel
is 800 feet long. 1t was built from

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
BARELY WINS IN HOUSE

Washingtn.-Woman suffrage by
federal constitutional amendment woD
in the house with exactly the required
number Of affirmative votes.
While members in their seats and
throngs in the galleries waited with
eager interest, the house adopted by
a vote of 274 to 1876, resolution pro-
viding for submission to the states of
the so-called Susan B. Anthony amend
ment for enfranchisement Of women.
But for the promise Of Speaker
for the resolution if it was needed, the
change of a single vote to the opposi-
ton would have meant defeat. Re-
publican Leader Mann, who came
from a Baltimore hospital where he
has been under treatment ever since
congress convened, and Representa-
tive Sims of Tennessee, Just out Of q
sick bed and hardly able to walk to
his seat, brought the votes that settled
the issue.
Advocates Of the amendment had
been supremely confident Of the re-
suit in the house after President Will
son advised the members who called
upon him last night to support. They
were so confident that the close vote
was received with a1nazement, and
some of the opponents were almost as
much surprised.
Announcement Of the vote was
greeted with wild applause and cheer
ing. Women In the galleries literally
fell upon each others necks, kissing
and embracing, and shouting, GLORY
