WASHINGTON, May 21.-Admiral Kol-

Conference that as soon an he has es-
tablished a stable government with
guarantees of freedom OF speech and the
PRESS and a constituent assembly, his

It was learned that he was working

a position to warrant such recognition
and HAS so notified the Powers.
The delegates in Paris. Il also was

TRIUMPH IN HOUSE
Continued from First Paos.

counted. This had no bearing on the
outcome, however, and will be corrected
In the permanent records of the House.
In striking contrast to every other
vote on suffrage In Congress in the last
few years remarkably little interest in
the outcome was evidenced to-day by
the public or the Senate, which was not
in session and whose members had
plenty OF time on their hands to witness
the proceedings. The galleries were but
half filled. with the single exception of
the mems gallery. The proportion Of
women in the other galleries was not
greater than on any ordinary day.
Analysis of the vote shows that Re-
publicans voted more than 10 to ! for
suffrage, while the Democratic vote was
close-101 for and 20 against Two hum
dred and one Republicans voted for
suffrage. and only 10 voted against It
Representative Cars (Minn.), listed Us
an independent, and Representative Ran
dali (CaL), the one prohibitionist mem
Der, both voted afirmatively. Repre-
sentative Baer IN. d. appears official
ly as a Republican in this Congress, al
though in the past he was listed a.
non-partisan. His vote was aye.
Champ Clark (Mo.), VINO was Speaker
when the last suffrage vote was taken
in the House. disclosed to-day that he
was ready to save the amendment when
II was adopted last year. Word was
brought 10 him just before the an
nouncement of the final vote on that oc-
casion that one member intended to
change his vote from aye to no. Under
the procedure in the House the Speaker
does no vote unless he specifically re-
quests the clerk to call his name.
When It was apparent that one vote
would have beaten suffrage, Mr.. Clark
said he sent word to the wavering mem
Der that If he changed and voted no.
the Speakers vote would be recorded
for passage of the resolution. This
threat proved 70 be sufficient to hold
this member in line.
The easy adoption OF the amendment
by the House was in no way a surprise.
In this CongressCas in the last one the
big stumbling block is expected to be
the Senate. Suffrage lobbyists have
made repeated claims that they have
votes enough and to spare in the Sen
ate. However, their activities at that

as they are working harder than ever
on those Senators whose minds they
have some hope of changing.
How soon the resolution can be
brought before the Senate is matter
OF conjecture. The quick action In the
House was possible only because the
House had no other business in shape to
be brought before It. When the resolu-
ton is finally brought out Of committee
and presented TO the Senate In proper
fashion 1t will have to take its place on
the calendar behind every other bit OF
legislation brought in ahead of It by the
other committees. Also under the Sen
ate rules there is no Limitation of dis

turn these properties on their present
yearly deficit basis OF a billion dollars
and to the conditions of the past and
without adequate remedial legislation
would be disastrous to both the shippers
and the owners. Conceding. therefore,
the necessity of legislation, the question
now is, What shall be the form of such
legislation and the extent to which It
shall go?
Two Methods Discussed.
There are two methods for the re-
turn of the railroads now being dis
cussed. One is the formation OF new
railroad companies. regional or other
wise. merging into them the existing rail-
roads. the Issuance of new securities by
the new companies to be exchanged for
existing securities and on the basis of
valuation Of all these properties.
Some suggest that the guaranty Of
percentage Of these new securities, the
remainder to be unguaranteed. Others
advocate the making of rates by the In
terstate Commerce Commission which
shall yield "a percentage return on the
new securities sufficient TO yield I per
cent. on the bonds and 8 per cent on
the stock, after which all earnings of the
railroads above this shall go to the Gov
eminent.
