SUFFRAGISTS WILL
FORCE Vote JUNE q
Senate Committee to Meet at Hollis
Call.

suffragists decided Saturday to force
vote on the Susan B. Anthony
amendment Thursday. June p, in the
Senate. The Senate Committee met
and made this decision yesterday af-
ternoon.
For weeks the "suffs" have been
backing and filling, but yesterday
Senator Hollis, of New Hampshire.
was asked by telegraph to act in
place of Senator Jones. OF New Mexi-
CO. and call the meeting Of the COM
mittee.
Senator Hollis will give notice in a
few days that he will call up the reso-
luton June q. The votes-for-women
cohorts insist that they need but two
votes to pass the amendment by the
necessary two-thirds of the Senate.
The antis just as positively affirm that
three or four votes are needed.
The two-thirds will consist OF ''those
present and voting. However. il will
not avail the suffragists II more of
their numbers than OF the ants hap
pen to be present when the vote is
taken. For the Senate leaders. Mar
tin the Democrat. and Gallinger q e
Republican, have agreed that the alb
sentees will be paired with those in
attendance at the time.
Alice Paul. ch cIrman OF the Ma
tional Woman's l~lrty, said last night:
I'VE confidently expect victory. The
choice Of a day sets an end to al
most uncomfortable delay. Nothing re-
mains but such action from the ad-
ministration as may be necessary to
assure a successful vote next Thurs
day. The administrators responsi-
bility cannot end until the votes are
counted. President Wilson's recent
statement declaring the women Of the
world should be included in the de-
mocracy for which the world is fight
ing showed the complete change of
his attitude toward this measure. He
has altered his attitude in the face
OF a change in world conditions,
which should serve as sufficient
ground for any Senator, however
strong his previous position, to now
alter his opinion also"

house" said Jessie. zen his mans e
Walter Barnes. En- as fur as All
knows he is married to but one wom-
an, en- dat is me-
Eva almost flintad. For this maa
was the very one she was after.
1t sure looked as though Waiter
was a bigamist! But he wasn't. Eva
had been fooled. She only thought
she was married to Walter.
At a party one night some fello1 "
made up like a minister and played
the Joke on Eva. In her Ignorance
she thought 1t was a real AFFAIR.
While she was thinking what 70
do about the situation. Jessie raised
her foot and let Eva have it under
the chin.
Walter dill not show up IN court
at all. Jessie paid a $40 fine and went
about her busircss.

But why did you throw a brick at
him! the court asked Morris Padgett,

Porter.
He ruined away wen All started
hittin' him. explained Morris, zen
cause All has no use 70 a coward
All throwed de brick"
In some way or other the draft has
overlooked Morris. although he is reg
istered and looks healthy enough to
whip dozen Germans.
How he escaped being drafted has
mystlhed many Of his acquaintauces.
Morris himself Is mum on the subject.
Therefore the only reason that his
friends can see why he is not In the
ranks Ia because he is a Stacker.
Porter was IN q poolroom with Nor
us the other night when someone
started an argument about the war.
Morris took part and demonstrated
now ignorant the gang was on the
subject Of warfare.
1t was during this argument that
Ernest called him a Stacker. He
couldn't see why q man with all the
knowledge Of warfare that Morris
seemed to have, wasn't In a trench.
The court told Morris to shell out
slo and sign a peace treaty.

Judge Advocate Frowns
On Army Proxy Weddings
Illegal, Says Col Morrow, and Complications
That Might Ensue If Wires Became
Crossed Are Pointed Out.

,all wrong-it would be Illegal and
all that sort of thing.
Marriages by proxy are not rec
ognized by our laws" the colonel
states, "and consequently Il would
be impossible for one of our SOL
diers in France to be married by
proxy.
"a valid marriage cannot be
brought to pass unless the persons
are In the same place at the same
time. In France the general doc
trine has been the same, but re-
Gently q new statute has been pass-
cd enabling French soldiers to be
married by proxy, but this does not
apply to soldiers in the American
army"
Furthermore, the colonel does not
think that such marriages ever will
be sanctioned under our laws-too
many complications. The Sammies
in our armies must marry their
girls before they sail or wait until
the Kaiser Is whipped and the vic
torious American forces return.
No Wedding Bells BY Wire.
No wedding bells by wire or cable,
either. the department rules. Ali
such marriages are null and void.
Marriages by proxy and wire
sound interesting. but what If the
wires got crossed and the wrong
soldier married the right girl or
vice versa? 1t would be rather hard
on the unsuspecting returning
bridegroom to be greeted at the
wharves by an unknown lady, his
proxy or wireless bride.
And then. what II the bride pre-
ferred the proxy to the bridegroom?
The Judge advocates office could
think of all sorts of complications
that might confront the proxy ro-
nance hero.

CAREWILLGIVE
ENOUGH WATER
THIS SUMMER
Monday 100000 GALLONS
Used Above Safety
Mark. -.

Only once during the past week
has the local consumption Of water
approached the danger mark Of 75.-
100000 gallons per day. That was
last Monday-"wash day" when a
total of. 100000 gallons was con-
sumed from the city's supply. or g.
100000 gallons less than the Mon
day preceding.
The water department has set s5,-
100000 gallons per day as the
safety-valve for consumers to fol-
low without infringing on the 75.-
100000 gallons per day capacity of
the reservoirs. This speed limit"
has been exceeded q number of times
within the past two weeks. 1t was
announced yesterday by ]. 8. Gar
land. superintendent of the city wa
ter department, and he cautions our
citizens to be less extravagant in
their use Of water.
Citizens Shall he Careful
According to Mr.. Garland, the con-
sumption OF water for the nine days
ending last Tuesday night. has to-
tailed 594, 100000 gallons. or an av-
erage OF a little more than 81, ,000. 900
gallons per day. The consumption
for yesterday had not been COM
puted at the close Of once, but was
thought not to exceed this daily av-
erage.
Mr.. Garland thinks that II citi-
zens would exercise all ordinary
precautions and refrain from vast
ing water. the supply will pull
through all right. He says that
gross carelessness II at the root OF
most of the threatened evil. and
that when the people come to re-
alize the seriousness OF some of
their wasteful habits in this re-
spect. It will open their eyes to the
real situation and cause them to be
more considerate.

MSS. BUYERS
Interest in Sale Extends
as the Campaign
-.& Goes On.

Every resident Of Washington
whether permanent or Just a So
journer within its gates-has been
appointed q committee of one TO
cooperate to the utmost in the
war savings stamps drive which
ends June 2s.
It Is pointed out that Washington
has a quota Of s7.500,0 900 stamps TO
buy during the year, and IL is hoped
that when the final returns are re-
ceived from the pledge cards that
have been sent to every home, they
will indicate that history has re-
peated itself and Washington has
gone over the top" just as 1t has
done in the successive liberty loan
and Red Cross drives.
The following plan has been sug-
gested:
Stamp Buying Plan.
That an average salary Of so a week
be taken as a basis for purchasing
stamps to the value OF $40 before
the remainder OF the year. ! n that
the individual whose income Is
above this minimum figure should
hold himself responsible for the
purchase of stamps in the same
proportion. Thus. the man earning
$50 q week. will buy stamps to the
value of at least, $50 before De-
cember 81, the $l00-a-week man,
800. and SO on. up to the $1,000
limit.
All is In readiness for the big en-
tertainnent to be staged tonight un-
der the auspices Of local theatrical
managers for the benefit of the war
savings stamps drive. at the Liberty
Hut, Union Station Plaza Famous

WILL ARREST OWNERS
OF UNMUZZLED DOGS

The large number OF persons. espe-
cially children, who have been bitten
by unmuzzled dogs in the last few
days has caused Major Pullman TO
issue a circular TO police captains, ask
ing them to be on the alert for dogs
without muzzles.
The police will in all cases. when ap
unmuzzled dog is found. try to locate
the owner OF the dog. and. II the
owner is located, q warrant for his
arrest will be sworn out. When the
owner Of the dog cannot be found. the
animal will be taken to the pound.

One official in the service almost
turned the whole department upside

arrange the matrimonial dincul-

pers over the water, and turn them
over to her.
An Instance Cited.
An instance was cited Of a SOL
dier In the American Expedition
airy forces abroad who decided that
he preferred the married state even
at long range to single blessedness
in q foreign land. He took his prob
lem to his commanding officsr as all
good soldiers should and the oblig-
ing officer arranged the matter with
the American consul stationed near
their post. The girl in far away
Massachusetts, was willing and the
ceremony performed. the groom
somewhere in France" and the
