mittee Insisted on Holding
Senate Until Outcome of
Bill Determined.

Washington, June 3.-Final action
in the senate on the house resolu-
ton for submission of the Susan B.
Anthony woman suffrage amend
ment was prevented today by de-
bate, principally by suffrage oppo-
nents. and by discussion of the
peace treaty. The resolution was
made unfinished business and it is
believed that before adjournment
tomorrow the last roll call will be
reported. with adoption apparently
assured. -.
When managers of the resolution.
which was adopted by the house
two weeks ago, 304 to 80, gave up
hope of a vote today Chairman
Watson of the senate woman suf-
frage committee announced that he
would insist upon holding the sem
ate in session tomorrow until the
final vote was reported.
Senator Watson spoke less than
a minute in favor of the resolution.
Senator Lenrott, republican, of Wis
consin, also urged its adoption.
Senators Reed of Missouri and Un-
derwood of Alabama, democrats,
and Borah, republican, of Idaho,
made the principal address against
the measure.
The senate rejected, So to II, an
amendment by Senator Harrison,
democrat of Mississippi, limiting
benefits of the proposed equal fran
chise to white citizens. An amend
ment by Senator Underwood, left
pending when the senate adjourned,
would provide that popular state
conventions instead Of state legis-
latures should act on the proposed
addition to the constitution.
Speakers against the resolution
took as their argument that the
franchise measure would abridge
state rights and impair popular gov
ernment. Senator Lenroot, in re-
plying to Senator Borah, denied that
popular government would suffer
and asserted that it would be pro-
NOTED instead.
In opposing the resolution Sem
ator Reed denounced it as an out
rage upon our form of govern
ment."
"It is as undemocratic a thing as
ever was attempted" said the Mis-
souri, senator.

ARMY LEADER
Replies to Criticisms of Wis
count French Who, in Book,
Charged Inefficiency.

London, June 3.-Herbert H. As
quith, who was British premier at
the outbreak of the war. replying
in speech today to criticisms by
Viscount French, first commander
of the British forces in France, in
his book concerning the government
in the early days of the war, said
that prior to the visit to France OF
Earl Kitchener the intended move
ments of Lord French had filled the
cabinet with CONSERVATION.
. The movement, Mr.. Asquith
added, would have had, in the judg-
ment of the cabinet, the effect of
leaving the French army in the
lurch in the moment of supreme
need. This CONSERVATION, Mr.. As
quith declared, was shared by the
French government.
In reply to the charge of Lord
French that he was not supported
by the government in the supply
of munitions, the former premier
read letter he received from Lord
French at the time of the formation
of the coalition government. In the
letter Lord French said:
II am sure that in the whole his
tory of the war no general in the
field has ever been helped in a
difficult task by the head of his gov
ernment as | have been supported
and strengthened by your unfail-
ing sympathy and encouragement"

lied financial commission, to which
the Germans strongly object. 1t is

No Advance Made in Price

Ice users in Council Bluffs will

pounds. This was not the original
intention, however, for it is asserted
that price of 90 cents was practlc-
ally agreed upon by dealers several
weeks ago. On this basis all bids

city building, fire stations and else
where was contracted for at 50 cents

The break in the prices is alleged

Washington>police today devoted
their efforts to reassembling frag-
ments of the man who was killed
last night at the door of Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer's home
while attempting to plant his cargo
of explosives. Mr.. Palmer himself
dismissed the incidents today as ~ut-
ter failure to terrorize the country
and stay the hand of the govern
ment," which purpose he ascribed to
the authors of the outrages.
Police at New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Newtonville,
Mass; Boston. and Paterson, N. J.,
were engaged in the widespread
hunt. Detectives were sent from
Washington to the first two named
cities in order to connect up opera
tions.
The hat of the Washington bomb
planter, purchased in Philadelphia,
and other details, indicated a posi-
bility that the consignment Of ex-
plosives had been sent out from
there. Another connecting link in
the view of authorities here, was the
similarity of the anarchistic hand
bills found near the scene of the
explosion in several cities.
Think Two Bombs Exploded.
Government experts on explosives,
after surveying the site of the ex-
plosion here and the partially de-
molished dwelling, came to the con-
clusion that two separate bombs ex-
ploded. probably when the man car
rying them tripped over stone step
