WASHINGTON, May 28.-Senators
opposed to woman suffrage are work
ing for what probably will be their
last victory in Congress by blocking
the amendment until the state Legis
latures that are still in session have
adjourned. A vote on the amendment
cannot be reached now before the
middle of next week, Senator Watson,
chairman of the suffrage committee.
said tonight
With more than the necessary two
thirds vote pledged, however, the
Senators opposed to suffrage cannot
do more than delay passage of the
measure.
Immediately following the assign
ment of committees in the Senate to-
day the Suffrage Committee met. Sem
ator Watson reported the Joint suf-
frage resolution out Of the committee
before adjournment this afternoon. At
the same time he asked unanimous
consent to bring the resolution up for
consideration Tuesday for debate and
to the exclusion of other business
Senator Reed, of Missouri, objected be-
cause of the phrase "to the exclusion
of other business" Senator Watson
said that he would bring the amend
ment up again tomorrow, but a vote
then will be impossible.
The legislatures of Illinois. Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts, Wisconsin
and Florida are still in session. Rv
the time the suffrage amendment
reaches vote, however, it is believed
these legislatures will have adjourned
The Legislature of Georgia will meet
IN June and will probably be the first

Suffrage Association received word
that the Swedish Parliament had given
full suffrage to women. Miss Marv
Garrett Hay, of New York, gave out
the following statement:
The House has done its part by an
overwhelming majority, and I expect
the Senate will take steps to complete
this measure, for the American women
will never believe that the representa-
tives of a republic are less generous
than the parliaments of monarchies."

Under the Constitution


HAVANA, May 2S.-A special mes
sage from President Menocal, asking
Congress to give him authority to sus-
pend the constitutional guarantees
whenever he may deem it necessary,
was read in both Houses of Congress
this afternoon. The request of the
President was made owing to the gen
eral strike in progress.
The House, instead of voting the
authority asked hy the President,
unanimously adopted a measure pre-
sented by the party leaders providing
for the suspension of constitutional
guarantees until June 30. Seventy-six
votes were cast.
The Senate laid the Presidents mes

WASHINGTON, May 28.-The day
light saving act received a temporary
stay Of execution to-day when the
House Rules Committee declined to
grant special rule for consideration
OF the repeater as part of the Agri
cultural Appropriation Bill, until
Charles D. Newton, Attorney General
OF the State of New York, had been
heard in opposition.
The Attorney General is expected to
appear before the committee to-mor-
row to explain the confusion precipi-
tnto repeal Of the act would work in
banking and the inconvenience it would
cause in mercantile lines.
Representative La Guardia. of New
York, vigorously opposed the repealer
before the committee to-day. If thu
agricultural interests are bound 70
abolish daylight saving, he said. thev
should go about it in an orderly way
by bringing in the repeater as separ-
ate measure upon which public henr-
ings could be held.
Conslderable confusion would be
caused in New York state by the re-
peal, Mr.. La Guardia said, since the
standard time of the state is fixed bv
state laws. He had been advised bv
attorney General Newton that anv
change Of time would result in con.
fusion in insurance contracts and
negotiable instruments. New York
Olty Is decidedly against the repeal. he
told the committee, and so are all other
large cities.
Chairman Haugen, of the Agricul-
tural Committee, which unnnimouslv
approved tho repeater, said 90 per cent

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-With the
reporting of the third deficiency bill
by the House Appropriations Commit
tee to-day it became known that the
Navy Department, in requesting ap-
preparations to cover expenses until
July 1, 1919, just before the close of
the last Congress, entirely overlooked
1000 sailors who were i'll aboard
battleships at sea.
Had the third deficiency bill been
passed by the Senate instead of being
held up by the filibustcr no provision
whatever would have peen made for

would have time to study carefully
the situation and arrive at definite
conclusion as to the counrty's needs.
The communication from the gen
oral board read by Secretary Daniels
showed that the idea of building a
composite ship to take the place of
battleships and battle cruisers had been
abandoned for the time being at least.
The principal changes in the six
battle-crusers authorized in 1916, rec
commended by the board, would give the
ships additional protection at the sac
riiice OF speed. Secretary Daniels told
the committee the board was unable
to say now how much speed would be
sacrificed TO gain this end. The ships
were designed for 35 knots speed. The
boards communication follows:
"The general board and this con-
ference recommends that the present
authorized battleship programme be
completed as expeditiously as possible
on present lines of development, and
that future designs of battleships
should depend upon further develop
ments in battleship construction.
"The general board and this con-
ference recommends to the Secretary
of the Navy that the six cruisers now
authorized be completed as expedi-
tIously as possible, but with additional
protection, particularly to turrets,
coming towers, magazines and COM
munlcations, at the expense OF a small
reduction in speed"
Sixteen Rattleships Needed
Rear Admiral Mexican, acting chief
OIL operations, told the committee that
not less than sixteen first-class battle
shlps, with total complement of 20
60o men, would be kept in commission
as time force. The admiral
was closely questioned by committee
members regarding the possibility of
making radical reductions in the COM
PIGMENTS of~thc irst-class ships. They
pointed out that such reductions would
mean a large saving to the govern
ment and would be consistent with the
idea OF postwar economy.
Admiral Mexican made it plain that
he was not in favor of large reduc-
tions. He said the personnel of shin
could not be decreased without de-
creasing the vessels efficiency.
The admiral said fewer men were
used on British ships than on Amer
lean craft of the same type, due partly
to the fact that Great Britain has more
men trained to the work, and partly to
the fact that the British term of en-
listment is longer.
Il want to say, though" the admiral
added, chat the British are not a whit
more efficient than our ,oon A,
whole, believe our men stack up bet
ter, taking everything into considera-
tion. This is proved in part by the
fact that the British navy is pattern
ing itself in many ways after ours"

for 1920" said Chairman Cummings.
1--WE are able to point with pride to the
record of President Wilson and the
Democratic national Administration in
the matter of progressive legislation.
Says Party Is Advancing
From the passage by Congress of
the income tax law to the establish
ment Of the Federal Reserve Bank svs-
tenn the movement of the Democratic
party has been steadily forward. When
war came it seemed for a time as if
daylight had dropped out of the world.
The Democratic party successfully led
the country through that dark, critical
period. No matter what critics NAV
say, history will record this period as
the golden age Of American achieve
ment and American honor. When the
full story is written the American peo-
pie will be satisfied and grateful. I
look forward to the campaiyf of 1920
with utmost confidence, not only in the
righteousness Of our cause, but in it's
triumph"

 TO PAY 1918 TAXES

II is probable that an extension of time will be granted to those who will he called upon to pay income taxes for the year 1918, according to the following message sent out by In. ternal Revenue Collector Williams of this district:
 Income tax forms for 1918 can not be supplied until the bill imposing new tax rates is enacted or the de partment desides to proceed under the act of 1918 You will be advised as soon as definite instructions are issued In the meantime do not use 1917 forms for 1918 returns. In case of any considerable further delay by congress general extension will probably be granted"
 Until such time as the proper blanks are received or the deputy col leCtor is notified what course to pur- sue, there will probably be an exten- sion of time.

HOOVER TALKS T0BRlTISH ON
 FOOD PRICES

LONDON. Jan. 20-(by Associated Pressl -lIcrbert C. Hoover. Ameri- can food administrator, on his visit tO England assured the people of this country that the high cost of food was not due to any protiteering by farmers in the United Stacs. The statement he issued to the British press shows that the guaranteed price or grain to the American farmer not only is smaller than the guarantee to tn" British farmer but the Americans yield is fifty per cent less an acre II the British shipping rate, Mir Hoover said had increased only pro rata 10 the American farmers increase, the cost Of wheat in England would be about $23 a quarter of 4So pounds. in stead of the present $26.15.
 'I kecnly realize Mir. Hoover said, "how hard the present pric" levels bear on all consumers and more especially upon the allied peo- pies. whose economic Wag" plane + much below that in the United States So far as the United States is con ccrncd, it is not matter of proiitc"r- ing. but is one of deep complcXity ot economic forces and provision for world necessities" EIr cited table indicating the comparative levels be fore and after the establishment ot war controls by the United States government Oi prices of wheat. hogs. maize, oats, sugar. steel, and copper, adding that "priccs have been in v@riably the same to the allies as to our own consumers and our own gov crnment" "
 "The high price levels, however, created before we entered the war, the statement continued, "caused our labor and other food production costs to increase by leaps and bounds, and to prevent any return during the war to 1914 levels"
 After discussing factors other than American conditions which have in creased th" cost of food to the allies, particularly overseas transport he noted that feed prices paid to the English farmer were about seventy per cent higher than the prices real ized by the American farmer for oats and barley.
 "I am in hopes" he said, that the freeing of the seas from war losses may render it possible quickly to re- duCc sea charges to at least the same ratio of increase as the American farmer receives"
 protiteering and speculation in pork have been removed in the states Mr. Hoover told the British people, by government control of the packing house He added
 Tn broad view 1 am certain that onr agricultural margins are so low that d ten percent reduction in prices to our farmers would stte our pro- duction to the extinction ol our con sequential export surpluses This margin of ten per cent is the price that our consumers and your con sumers pay for stimulation of pro duction. Our American consumers rightfully but cheerluly feel that we are taking from them this extra ten per cent in prices in order that We may take our part in carrying this world burden. As | view the worlds food assets this moment, am con yinced that the extra marginal sur plus from the United States is ot priceless value to the immensity of human life at stake between now and next harvest"

Ireland's Harp.

Since time out of mind it has been
the custom to associate the harp with
Irish music. perhaps because the harp
is the emblem upon the flag of Ire
land, or perhaps because "the harp that
once through Tara's halls Its soul of
music shed" has echoed through the
succeeding ages. stirring the imagina-
ton to vision of past glories. At all
events, in spite Of the fact that the
origin of the harp antedates the earlI-
est records OF civilization and that
now the harp has become almost ex-
tinct in Ireland. it seems probable that
the historic association will persist.
