on the coal, oil and phosphate lands

ferees signed the report. But of the
five Senate conferees only three are
10 the city, Senators Pittman. Shafroth
and Smoot. Senators Pittman and
Shaffroth have signed the report, but
so far Senator Smoot has refused TO
sign it. Therefore. 1t has been signed
only by minority of the Senate con-
ferees.
The absent Senate conferees are
Senators Phelan of California and Fall
of New Mexico. Senator Phelan is
willing to sign the report, he has
sent word, but he is in California. A
resolution authorizing his name to be
signed to the report has been pre-
pared and presented by Senator Shat
roth, but Senator Smoot objected "a

purpose In the meantime the con-
ference report is hung up and can
not be made to the House as was
planned week ago.

FOR new US. MINISTRIES
At Presidents Request, Bill Pro.
vides Posts for Czechoslovak
Nation and Poland.

At the request of President Wilson
provision was made yesterday in the
diplomatic and consular bill by the
Senate appropriations committee for
ministers to the new Czechosloyak
nation and the new government of
Poland. Secretary Lansing informed
the committee that the President had
given Instructions that provision be
made for the ministers.
The ministers would be paid salaries
of $4,000 year each under the bill,
which provides $9,363.Sf4 for the dip
Iomaric and consular service. The
total is about 100000 less than that
in the House bill.
The appropriation of $1,000 to the
international bureau of the perma-
nent court of arbitration at The
Hague was eliminated by the commit
tee on the theory that out of the
peace conference would grow an or
ganization to supersede it.

Acquitted by Jury.

Commissioner Gardiner calls atten-
ton in the opinion to the fact that al
though the former policeman was ac-
quilted by jury in Criminal Court of
the same charges that formed the
basis OF the case against him before
the trial board, and later was ac-
quilted by the trial board of the more
serious features of the charges, he
was found guilty by the board of a
minor infraction of regulations in con-
nection with the events leading up to
the trial and was sufnmariiy dis
missed from the force.
The case was one in which Burton
was struck and severely injured dur
ing an alteration with Edgar s. Wal
Ter, also a policeman. at midnight
February IA. 1916. Burton was on his
way to report at the second precinct
station when the alteration occurred
He claimed that Waller struck him
across the face and on the head with
his baton, the blows being so severe
as partly to stun him. Burton claimed
that he was in a dazed condition and
wandered around the remainder of the
night, finally being found and taken
to the station house about o'clock in
the morning.
He was charged by Waller with at
lacking the latter. and it was also
charged that he was intoxicated When
tried i'll Criminal Court on a charge
preferred by Waller. who alleged that
Burton struck him with a baton and
also drew revolver and tried to shoot
him, Burton was acquitted.
Later, however, a police trial board
tried Burton, acquitting him of the
charges preferred by Waller, but rec
ommending his dismissal from the
force for failure to report at midnight
the night he claimed to have been
attacked and injured. The finding of
the trial board was taken to the Dis
trict Commissioners, Commissioners
Brownlow and Kutz approving the
finding. and Commissioner Gardiner

Desperate Effort to Win Votes.

A desperate effort has been made to
win over some of the democratic sen
ators on the ground of political ex-
pediency. They have been told that
il they do not put through the sui
frage resolution while the present
democratic Congress is in existence,
the republicans, when they come into
power in the next Congress, will put
through the resolution and reap the
political profit to be derived there
from.
The republicans. on the other hand.
stand to win in any event, unless the
whole democratic side, or a large ma
jority of the democrats. should cast
it's vote for the resolution tomorrow.
OF the forty-five republicans in the
Senate, thirty-three will stand for
suffrage and only twelve against it,
more than two-thirds of the repub-
licans being in favor of it. If the
resolution is adopted by a narrow
margin, the republicans can still say
that it was through their votes that
the resolution was adopted in the
Senate.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-02-09
Say Lines Will Not Be Broken.

On the other hand. the anti-suf-
fragists insisted their lines would not
be broken and that the resolution
would be defeated again The last
vote taken in the Senate was October
l. 1918, when the resolution failed by
a narrow margin. A motion to recon
slider the vote by which it was de-
feated was made by Senator Jones of
suffrage committee, and carried on
on the Senate calendar on the same
status it had before it was voted
upon. Senator Jones will make the
motion TO take up the resolution, or
ask unanimous consent that it be
taken up when the Senate meets to-
morrow.
Many rumors were floating about
the Capitol last evening to the effect
that the suffragists had obtained the
necessary votes to carry the reSoIu-
ton. On the other hand, it was ru-
mored by the ants that at least one
vote had fallen away from the suf-
frage cause. Arrangements have
been made for all absent senators to
be paired, so that the sentiment of
the entire Senate is to be expressed.
If the vote is taken tomorrow and
the resolution is not carried, woman
suffrage will be dead for the re-
mainder of the present Congress.
After March 4, when the Sixty-sixth
Congress comes into being, it will be
necessary to have the suffrage reso-
luton introduced again and passed by
the House as well as the Senate.
