SENATOR BENET DASHES THE HOPES
OF SUFFRAGLSTS; TAKES OTHER SIDE
And With the Loss of His Vote Suffrage That
Amendment Has Been Defeated For the Present Not
For Long Time-Senator Benet Gives
Reasons For Opposition.

Washington, Sept 30.-Senator
Christie Benet has dashed the hopes
of the women suffrage advocates.
The situation was hanging by hair
and it is probable that if the South
Carolinian had done as the suffra-
gettes expected that he would do, and
had sided with them because of ad-
ministration pressure, they could
have mustered enough votes to carry
their resolution. AS the matter
stands now. it is generally regarded
as certain that the suffrage amend
ment has been defeated for the pres
ent, IL not for some time. 1t is well
known here that for the past month,
and particularly for the past week,
Senator Benet has been subjected to
"barrage fire" from both sides of the
suffrage question. He has been Wis
tied by hundreds OF emissarics and
has received thousand of letters and
kilograms. The pro-suffragists had
assumed very confidently that the
known attitude of President Wilson,
together with the fact that the Jun
ior senator from South Carolina had
been frequently in conference with
the President at the White House
and had been asked by the executive
to support the resolution, would set
tie the matter as they wished.
Like n BOmbsheI.
There was intense interest in SEN
ator Benet's speech. which was like a
bombshell in its effect The follow
ing extracts give the substantial pur-
port OF the senator's remarks:

BOY RUN DOWN BY
A SPEEDING AUTO
Edward Barton, 10 Years Old,
Seriously Injured Yesterday
on Main Street.
DRIVER WAS ARRESTED

Edward Barton, the ten-year-old
soff of w. NJ. Barton, was run down
by a Ford automobile driven by Tai
madge Faulkenberry, of the county,
at the intersection of Main and Elm
streets yesterday afternoon and sus-
tanned serious injuries. The lad was
knocked unconscious and received
several cuts and bruises about the
head. Just how bad he was injured
has not been ascertained, physicians
stating this morning that his condi-
tion showed no Improvement over
last night.
The accident occurred as the boy
ran out of Elm into Main street
and there are conflicting reports as
to the speed at which the car was
being driven, some saying it was
making not less than 80 miles per
hour, and it is also said that the car
skidded ninety feet after the brakes
were applied. F'ulkenberry was ar
rested technically charged with reck-
less driving. He gave bond and was
released.
Mr.. Faulkenberry was very much
hurt over the accident. He is a far
mer and a man OF reputation and
standing, living about six miles from
the city. Responsibility for the ac-
cident will be determined when he is
tried nthe charge OF reckless driv-
ing
This is the first serious automobile
accident to occur on MaiY street in
this city.

Long Wrangle Over Con-
tract. Taken up Piece by
Piece. Likely to End in
Complete Endorsement

Representatives of every Sec
ton and every interest in the
valley, assembled in mass meet
ing at the L. & s. Theatre today,
endorsed the provisions of the
proposed Congressional bill Great
ing a unified Colorado project, as
framed by the special committee.
A moment after this important
resolution was passed, the meet
ing passed another, with but one
or two noes, that the district be
instructed to send a delegation to
Washington, to see that this bill
was sent through the National
body at this session of Con-
gress.
Walter Packard moved that to
this bill be added a clause appro-
priating s2O,00O,OOO for the
work, and that it be referred to
the state water commission, the
state engineer and Director Da-
Wis, of the reclamation service.
This was lost, but was again TAX
en- up, and will likely be incorpor-
ated, 18th the exception of Dire--
tor Davis.
The proposed contract as it
came from committee was taken
up, item for item, and discussed.
There, was much opposition to
certain clauses from the M.rk
Rose organization, but they did
not prevail.
"Wild Bill' Edgar SOUGHT to
shut off discussion by movin~
that nothing be taken up excent
