FIGHT OF SO YEARS ENDS


WASHINGTON, June 4.-By a vote Of
5S to 20 the Senate passed to-day the
resolution to submit the woman's suf-
frage constitutional amendment to the
Legislatures of the States. The iden-
teal resolution passed the House in
the opening days of the present ses-
sion, SO that ratification by three
fourths of the States will make it eff
fective as to the entire country.
Thus. after a fight that has been
waged for more than half a century
as a definite movement in the national
life and that has been In progress, In
fact, from the very beginning of the
republic, the suffrage cause is for the
first time submitted to the States on
a national basis.
The vote showed that the Senate as
now constituted comprises the necessary
two-thirds vote to pass the resolution
with two to spare. There are 80 Sena-
tors. 81 comprising the necessary two
thirds Besides the Sc who voted for the
amendment, 10 did not vote who would
have supported It had they been present
or released from their pairs, and s were
paired against it. Had every Senator
been In his place the vote would have
been 66 to 80.
The vote came late in the afternoon
after a day OF rather tedious discussion,
There was almost nothing dramatic to
mark the historic occasion. The at
tendance in the galleries was rather less
than yesterday, and on neither day were
the galleries filled, probably on account
OF the intense heat. Women almost ex-
clusively occupied the seats.
The resolution's passage thus early
In the Senate IS pointed TO By the Re
puolicans as prompt execution Of their
promise. At the last session IT passed
the House, but was defeated in the
Senate. The change OF half score Of
seats from Democrats to Republicans
made a different result possible to-day.
In terms of party affiliations the vote
Of the two houses may be summarized
thus:

Lansing is known to have spent
much time working on the draft,

10 Per Cent. Raise Needed.

Railroad men are convinced that a
Is per cent. rate raise will be necessary
at an early date IL the Government
expects to return the roads at the end
Of the year in solvent condition. An
average Is per cent. increase would,
however, give something more than Is
needed to meet pre-war conditions
Present gross revenues are something
like $500, 900 900 a year.
Fifteen per cent. on this would give
an additional S525. 100000. $4,000. 900
more than railroad men regard as nee
essary and S225, 900. 900 more than Mr..
Hines apparently regards as possibly
necessary. The DIrector-Ge said
in st. Louis that increased costs of
labor and material had far outstripped
the increased rates.
The l. C. C. figures for April soon to
be issued apply only TO the class 1 rail-
roads or the big systems. These, how
ever. represent a preponderance OF the
roads under Government control. These
figures will show operating revenues for
the month OF $3Ss.357.0o0. Operating
expenses were $345. 900. Tax and
interest payments left a net operating
revenue OF S26.143,00O.
As against this latter sum the Govern
ment guarantees a return for April of
SCI, ,325, 900. leaving the Railroad Admin
istration S4l.1S2. 900 in the hole for the
month. This is on the basis OF monthly
and not yearly earnings. One-twelfth OF
the yearly earnings would make the de-
ficit a good many millions more, but
April is normally a much leaner month
than the months of late summer and fall,
the period of heavy traffic.
The freight traffic handled this year
shows a loss OF only per cent. as COM
pared with the test period averaging,
and the gain in passenger traffic brings
the total freight and passenger trafic
OF 1919 to about s per cent. above the
test period averaging.
With this increase of per cent in
traffic there has been In the first four
months of 1919 an increase in operating
expenses OF s612 900. or 70 per cent.
The higher rates on this traffic have
brought In $44S. 100000 additional rev.
enue. an increase Of AZ per cent

Special Despatch to The sus.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The net op-
Grating revenues Of the railroads OF
the United States under Government
control for the month Of April fell far
behind the Government guarantee Of
returns to these roads. according to
figures being compiled by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
These figures, which will be made
public in a day or two, show a deficit
for April Of S41.145.o00 below the STAN
dard return. or the rental guaranteed
by the Government.
The April deficit, added to that for
January. February and March. makes
a total of s174.412.oO which the Rail-
road Administration is behind on the
four months of the present year. On
this basis the loss to the Government
for the year would be more than a
billion dollars.

PARIS. June 4.-There is little expec-
tation that the Austrian treaty can be
completed this week. The presentation
of the missing clauses. when will prob
ably continue well into next week. will
be by note. There will be no further
meeting between the Austrian represen-
tatives and those of the allied Powers.
The Council of Four virtually has
agreed on the reparations clause. The
question of boundaries also was dis
cussed to-day. but no conclusion was
reached.
Until an agreement Is reached on all
the supplementary clauses none OF those
omitted from the treaty will be pre-
sented TO the Austrians. 1t Is expected
that the Council of Four will have the
reply to the German counter proposals
under consideration tomorrow. Sew
eral OF the commissions entrusted with
consideration OF the details are expected
to be ready 10 report.
A Vienna despatch dated Tuesday
says that owing to the depression due
to the peace conditions the Bourse
Council decided TO close for two days.

satisfied with the conditions imposed In

Rate Raise Forecast.

Many railroad men, some members of
the I. c. c.. and other officials are con-
fdent that a further increase in rates
Is necessary to meet the situation and
place the roads on the basis of their
pre-war earnings before they are re-
turned to private control.
There are many indications that d.
rector-General Hines is coming to this
conclusion, though he is not yet pre-
pared to recommend any action in this
direction. The Director General believes
that there will be such a heavy volume
OF traffic In the country when the bumper
crops begin to move that the roads will
be able to make at least the standard
return. Even on this basis II would ap-
pear from a speech he made In ST. Louis
that the deficit for the year will run to
$500. 100000. lie indicated that It might
become necessary to raise rates to in
crease revenues TO that extent.
Railroad men. however. are looking
to the s500,o00.oo0 figure. An increase
In rates approximating IS per cent on
the average would bring in this addi-
tional sum. There Is no possibility,
however, Of another fiat percentage in
crease. 1t is the opinion of officials
concerned with railroad rates that II an
increase Is made II must be worked out
on a scientific basis OF rate adjustment
that will correct some OF the bad fea-
lures of the last percentage raise. This
adjustment would be worked on the
basis of an average increase of 10 per
cent. but unevenly applied to correct
rate relationships and put the greatest
burden on the commodities moving at
rates regarded as too low and those that
would not be disastrously affected by
increases.

UNACCEPTABLE

Night Session.

PRESS AVOIDS COMMENT
By the Associated Press.

VIENNA, June 4.-The Austrian Gov
ernment has decided unanimously that
the peace terms presented at st. Ger
main on Monday are unacceptable, the
Neres AbendbIott says.
The Austrian Cabinet met yesterday
to consider the peace terms, and was
In session until late at night. Printed
copies of the summary Of the terms
have been presented to all members
of the National Assembly.
The first news that the peace treaty
reduced the frontiers of the once
mighty Empire Of Austria came at 10
o'clock last night to Vienna by way Of
Amsterdam in a news agency des-
patch and the official text OF the treaty
in German arrived at / o'clock this
morning.
The news filtered through the city. but
II made scarcely any impression on the
people. The newspapers to-day scarcely
comment on the treaty. Editor Bene-
dix Of the Neue Frete Presse received
the news at his country home shortly
after 1t arrived In Vienna, but did not
come into the capital to write on the
subject. The editor of the Arbeiter
Zettung. however. wrote an editorial on
tho treaty and then went to bed at mid
night as 10 his custom.
In the pressroom at the telegraph Of
fee there was a solitary country re-
porter. who was vainly endeavoring to
get telephone connection with out OF
town newspapers in order to announce
the peace terms. There were no crowds
In the streets. On the whole Austria
was fully prepared for any conditions
and the boundaries as fixed appeared to
have been expected. The peace offered
Austria Is generally regarded as based
on might. and not on President Wilson's
fourteen points. In some quarters 1t Is
considered a trouble breeder for the fu-
ture. particularly as regards the Ger
man populations given over the the
Czechs.
This afternoons newspapers will make
a show Of protesting along these lines.
but Austria seemingly is really inter-
ested, as President Seitz has pointed
out. in financial aid which will make 1t
possible for Austria TO exist.
Official notice OF the news was taken
to-day by a sitting of the Ministry in
the great council room OF the Foreign
Affairs Office in the Baliplatz, where was
signed the treaty OF Vienna 104 years
ago.
President Seitz declined to make any
comment on the treaty. sending out word
to the correspondent by a uniformed at
tendant that he was delivering a speech
to his colleagues.

Thus Is appears that in the two houses
2S7 Republicans supported the resolu-
ton and only 27 opposed it; while in
the two houses 12l Democrats supported
and 81 opposed 1t. Nearly nine Repub-
lioans supported the resolution for every
one who opposed it while on the Demo-
cratic side IA supported 1t for every
one who opposed It.
For a long time to-day It seemed

been called away suddenly to attend a

termined that the vote should not be

him. Accordingly toward the middle Of
the afternoon the speeches began 10
grow suspiciously long and forced. The
arrangements demanded by the opposi-
tion were finally perfected, and then the
pending amendments were rapidly
cleared away and a vote was taken.
WndswOrth Against Plan.
Senator Wadsworth IN. " opened
the discussion, speaking against the res
olution. He argued that the measure
proposed TO interfere with the control
of their internal affairs by the States. in
asmuch as II forced rule of suffrage
upon some of them which they did not
desire. The Senator favored the Under

amendment should be ratified by con-

y
Maj. Miller received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross for con-
spicuous gallantry in action
near Gesnes, France, September ;;
%. 1918. After two days Of In
tense physical and mental strain,
during which Maj. Miller had
led his battalion in the front
line of the advance. through the
forest of Argonne, the enemy
was met in prepared position
south of Gesnes. Though almost
exhausted, he energeticnlly re-
organized his battalion and or
dered an attack. Upon reach
ing open ground, the advancing
line began to waver in the face
of machine gun fire from the
front and TANKS and direct ar
tillery fire. Personally leading
his command group forward be
tween his front line companies,
Maj. Miller inspired his men by
his personal courage and they
again pressed on toward the hos
tile position. AS this officer led
the renewed attack he was shot
in the right leg, but he never
theless staggered forward at the
head of his command. Soon aft
erward he was again shot in
the right arm, but he continued
the charge, personally cheering
his troops on through the heavy
machine gun fire. Just before
the objective was reached he re-
ceived a wound in the abdomen,
which forced him to the ground,
but he continued to urge his
men on, telling them to push
on to the next ridge and leave
him where he lay. He died from
his wounds a few days later.
