Unless the Congress OF tho United

AZ suffrage headquarters, speaking be-
sore the initial meeting of the Equal
Sucrage League of Richmond. america

the rest OF the civilized world in en-

separate State acted. such action would
not have been az significant to the

whole. nor would IT have placed the
women Of America on footing OF ma
tonal political status with the women
OF Europe. most Of whom are now
voters. The latest European nation
TO propose the acknowledgements Of It's
women is Spain, and the next annual
Meeting OF the Iternational Woman
Suffrage Alliance may take place In
Madrid, probably In April 1920"
An enthusiastic gathering OF mem
bers OF the league and their guests was
in attendance to greet Mrs. Bosher.
and to express great satisfaction In
the knowledge that their goal is so
nearly In sight. Mrs Bosher stated
that while all suffragists realized that
their work was near completion. this
should only stimulate them to renewed
EFFORT for Virginia to take prominent

Big Land Case.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The supreme
court today held invalid an ordinance
of the city of Los Angeles which it is
alleged was passed to force a private
electric power company out of BUSH
ness for the benefit Of the municipal
company. The decision affirms the
opinion of he lower courts.
The ordinance in effect provides hat
the private company must remove it's
poles and lines to make way for those
municipality owned. The supreme
court shared in the opinion of lower
courts that this was an effort to de-
prive the private company of its
property n sustained the injunction
granted by the courts below.
New Mexico Wins.
New Mexico a use funds derived
from the sale of public lands to adj
vertise the advantages of the state,
the supreme court decided. The gov
eminent fought the case on the
grounds that the funds were obtained
from lands which were the property
of the United States when New Mex
leo was a territory and their use for
advertising violated federal law.
