TOPASS SUFFRAGE
Susan B. Anthony Resolution
Up in House Today.
Vote About 6 p. M.-Supporters
Predict Big Victory.

Washington, May 21.-The woman
suffrage resolution before congress
for more than forty years. was taken
up in the house today as the first real
work of the extra session. Four hours
of debate and adoption of the resolu-
ton before adjournment was planned.
The resolution is the historic Susan
B. Anthony draft, proposing submis-
sion to the states of an equal franchise
amendment to the constitution. 1t
was adopted by the last house 274 to
1876 on January 10, 1918, but twice
failed in the senate, first by two votes
and then by one.
Predict Large Margin.
A large margin over the requisite
two-thirds majority was predicted to-
day. The vote was expected about s
O'Clock and large delegations of women
from organizations favoring and op-
posing the resolution early were on
hand in the galleries.
With favorable action in the house
regarded assured, senate leaders were
prepared to act promptly. They plan
to secure vote early next month to
dispose of the resolution before work
begins on the peace treaty, appropria-
ton bills and other pressing measures.
With changes in the new senate,
suffrage advocates believe the resolu-
ton will succeed in the senate, altho
by a small margin over the necessary
two-thirds majority.
Representative Mann of Illinois,
Republican chairman of the house
suffrage committee, was in charge of
the resolution today in the house while
representative Saunders of Virginia,
Democrat, was regarded as the oppo-
sition leader. The resolution was re-
ported favorably yesterday at a hasty
meeting of the committee with Re-
publican leaders arranging to give it
right of way today. 1t was pointed
out that of the house membership to-
day. 304 were members of the last
house, 2O3 of whom had previously
voted for the resolution, 100 against
and one not voting

No Word of Hawkcr.
London, May 21.-With no word re-
celVed as to the fate of Harry G
Hawker, who disappeared on his at
tempted flight in a Sopwith plane
from Newfoundland to Ireland, there
was an inclination today in some
quarters to blame the government for
not properly safeguarding him.
The Times attacked what it termed
the governments inaction in not pa
trolling Hawker's route and declared
the government climaXed this by
Dungllng the communiques Monday.
The Post commented on misleading
communicates which, it said, aroused
premature citation.
An investigation by the admiralty

regarding Hawker's flight originated.

radiograms, relayed thru a number of
ships.
Up to II o'clock last night there is
no word of Hawker and his navigator
Grieve. Not a single report has been

and light craft of all descriptions
which are sweeping the seas off Ire

Kansas City today. Shortly after IL

signaled on by Lieut.. Ben Adams in
the CRUSADER plane which was al
ready on the ground.
Adams Wanted To Go On.
Adams's intention, as evidenced by
the wire he attempted to send Colonel
Clagett at Camp Funston, was to have
the squadron go right on over To-
peka to Kansas City. But Colonel
Clagett had other ideas on the SUBJ
ject of passing up the city. so needing
Adams's danger signal he spurned the
Washburn campus as landing field
and selected one for himself five miles
south of the city.
As soon as it was seen that the
squadron was landing south of tha
city, members of the military commit
tee of the Chamber of CONNER ,e
rushed to that point in autos. To-
peka pilots in the cars assured Col

was a good and safe landing field, in
spite of the signal given by Lieutenant
Adams.
Clagett and his flyers took the air
again and made landing on Washburn
campus by noon. They were imme-
diately taken to the Chamber of Com

The definite statement that Germany will
not sign the peace terms as they were

the Associated Press.
Statements along a somewhat similar line
by President Ebert, Premier Schiedemann
aud other Germans in high places have
preceded this one. Meanwhile. European
dispatches show that Germany's represent
tatives are still endeavoring to secure modi-
fications of these terms. Thus another note
was sent yesterday by the German peace
mission at Versailles to the secretartat of
the peace congress This is the tenth COM
munication forwarded to the allies by the
Germans since they received the pence
terms. The contents of the note are not
as yet known.
Expected to Sign Finally.
Today or tomorrow the German represen-
! tatives are expected to transmit TO the
allies comprehensive statement Oh Ger
manys attitude toward the peace treaty
as a whole specifying what points they
accept and what they desire TO have ulodi-
fled. The fifteen day time limit for them
to make known their standpoint expires
Thursday. Up to yesterday at least the
prevalent opinion in Paris seemed to be
that Notwithstanding all their protests
the Germans ultimately would sign the

cabinet on certain interior and foreign
questions" according to a Paris dispatch
1t seems probable therefore that the peace
terms will not be presented to the Aus
trian delegation before Friday when the
Italian premier is due to return TO Paris
In view of the fact that the settlement
of the Italian and Jugo-Slavic claims to
. Ffume and parts of Dalmatia are still not
settled, and that every effort has been
made to bring about an agreement before
the peace terms are laid before the Aus

that Orlandos flying trip to Rome indi-

of adjusting the situation. Apparently
Premier Orlando will at the most remain
at Rome only few hours.

Judge Schumacher, who represented
Tyrol on the Austrian peace delegation, has
returned to Vienna, il is stated In Paris

PHONE COMPLAINTS
 ID POLICE CAUSES
 NE|GHbORHOOD FEUD
Justice Wheeler Uproots
 Newcomer and Settles Argument Over Who May Talk to the Police First

It was a close decision Justice Wheeler mass yesterday in the feud of Ramon Valasquez, (no relation of the great painter of that name) and Juana Lopez not connected by ties of consanginity to the equally famous Guy Lopez. The whole neighborhood appeared at the trial, cloud of wit nesses on each side.
 Velasquez had been arrested on the complaint of Sonora Lopez charging him with a disturbance of the peace. It was brought out at the trial that both of them had participated in speechfest of a character that threat ened the morals of that neignborhood which is not unduly sensitive to un- expurgated oratOry.
 When it was all over the justice was in doubt but finally he decided against Velasquez, not necessarily because he was more at fault than his accuser, but because the kind of punishment the court intended to apply would be better borne by him-exile from that vicinity. Having lived there only six months he was less deeply rooted than 1 Sonora Lopez who had resided there 1 for two years.
 1 Accordingly Velasquez was found guilty and sentenced but the sentence was suspended on the condition that he betake himself to some other part of the town, remote from his accuser.
 It was brought out that Sonora Lopez has a telephone, the only one in that immediate neighborhood It has not increased her popularity among the people who are lacking that means of quick communication. Their antipathy to her is not merely the outgrowth of envy, but it arises from the use she makes of her telephone. When she becomes involved in a neighborhood brawl, they say, she tele- phones the police and gets that much of start over her antagonists with her side of the story and creates a
 bias and prejudice which it usually takes evidence in the police court to remove.
