To Tour Country In
Biz Vote-G Getting Car

WASHINGTON. Jan. 81. (Spl)-
Suffrage martyrs" composing the 20
| women who have served sentences in
the government jail in Washington,

frage colors, and pictures of the prison

be visited will be Jacksonville, Fla.
Knoxville, Tenn; New Orleans, San

and concluding with New York, which
the party is due to reach March 3,
Arrangements are being made to hold
meetings in each Of these cities at
which the women will tell of their ex-
periences in jail.
From prison to people" the idea
being that as "martyrs" these women
will arouse much interest in the .suf-
frage cause. The trip was decided on
when it became evident that there
was little chance Of obtaining favora-
BILE action for the suffrage amendment
at this session Of congress. The wo-
men, however. are determined to have
question brought up at the sneclal
session, should one be called, and ex-
press conviction that the question will
then prevail.
The women who are to make this
trip belong to the militant wing OF
the party, and include those who have
been arrested recently for burning

THE COAL STRIKE

The acceptance of the miners commit tee of the compromise proposal of Presi- dent Wilson without doubt brings relief to the whole nation. To certain communities stricken with fuel famine, it will be life saving. But to what extent it will remedy the situation remains to be seen. It is too early at present to determine what propor tion of the strikers will carry out the terms of the agreement.
 Under ordinary conditions the order to resume work which has been issued by the international officials would be obeyed to the letter. But it is apparent that some of the unions will repudiate the agreement and certain radical leaders of the unions will not hesitate to, take advantage of this attitude. The outcome of the situation de- bends largely upon the determination of the international officials to enforce thei1 decision and the country will judge their good faith upon the manner in which they proceed. In persisting in their strike, those who do so participate in direct action methods, which are not recognized nor ap- proved by federated labor. Thus labor in general, as we'll as the public, is vitally interested in seeing that the dictates of the regularly constituted leaders of the coal miners are carried out to the fullest extent.
 The proposal under which the settle ment was made does not provide for per manent settlement. It merely brings about Hull in active striking for period of 60 days. Under its terms which are four teen per cent increase over the old wage scale and an investigation of the entire situation looking to a permanent settle ment shall be made solely upon consider ation of right and justice, the miners agree to resume work immediately. If they fail to keep their side of the contract it is nec- essarily null and void They have nothing to lose if they carry out their contract but if they fail to do so public sentiment will distrust forever their organization and all union labor will receive setback from which it may never recover.

PASSING THE BUCK

That the republican senators respon- sible for the ratification of the treaty are beginning to grow restless under the fire of criticism that is being aimed at them from all over the country on account of the aggravated treaty situation is shown by the speech made yesterday on the floor of the senate chamber by Senator Lodge. In an effort to wriggle out from under fire, the adroit-minded Massachusetts senator seeks to switch the responsibility for the existing situation upon the democratic senators.
 Among the other leaders of the opposi- tion to the treaty there probably isn't a man who would have taken the line of de- fense assumed by Lodge. Johnson would have scorned to such subterfuge Borah likewise would have admitted the honesty of his effort to beat the adoption of the treaty. Knox has repeatedly urged the ne- gotiation of separate peace with Ger many. But MT. Lodge, sensing the mood of the country, protests his desire to see the treaty ratified and reproves his democratic colleagues for their reprehensible conduct which has totally defeated his solicitation for an early return to peace. The next the country knows the senior Massachusetts senator will be charging President Wilson with having conspired with the authors of the Johnson, Fall and other committee amendments to the treaty for the sole pur- pose of keeping the country in a state of unrest. Such charge would be just as plausible as the one which he has just made

THE NEWBERRY CASE
----= s-=--.- .

The indictments recently returned by a Grand Rapids, Mich., federal grand jury resulted from an investigation ordered by the department of justice into the election of Truman H. Newberry to the United States senate. This investigation, the de- partment announced, was based on filed complaints and "public charges of fraud and corruption" made by the lieutenant governor of Michigan and others. United States District Judge Sessions presided over the inquiry, which was conducted by Frank c. Daily and Hale Souter, special assistants to United States Attorney Gen. eral Palmer.
 Witnesses were summoned from every part of the state and represented both political parties. They numbered into the hundreds and included both men and wom- en. Chas. s. Osborn, former governor of Michigan and one of the republican can didates defeated for the nomination by MT. Newberry in the primary election, was the first witness summoned.
 The republican nomination was carried by MT. Newberry after a very hard fight. MT. Ford received the democratic nomina- tion. The election campaign became bit ter, charges and counter charges being pre- ferred by adherents of the two candidates. MT. Newberry, who, it is claimed, spent no time in the state during the campaign be- cause of duties in the New York naval dis trict, was finally declared elected by ma jority of 7,567, days after the election. The vote was Newberry, 220,o54; Ford, 212, 2,487.
 Immediately after the election MT. Ford filed a petition with the senate at the last session of the Sixty-Fifth congress, contesting Senator Newberry's right to a seat. A resolution was proposed at that time by Senator Pomerene, democrat of Ohio, asking senate investigation but re- ceived no action in the committee on privi- leges to which it was referred. The reso- lution was reintroduced in the special ses- sion of the Sixty Sixth congress but at the suggestion of MT. Ford counsel was defer red. Following the return of the indict- ments at Grand Rapids Senator Pomerene again introduced his resolution for sena- torial inquiry which is now being studied by senate committee.

INFORMATION TO THIS EFFECT
COMES SEMI-OFFICIALLY

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Bankers of
New York have received positive as
surance that the liquor ban will be
lifted in time to allow banks that
hold warehouse certificates as collat-
eral time to iquidate these imperil-
ed securities.
This news, proceeding from Wash
ington, was circulated widely in this

ton in many quarters.
Banks Worried Sick.
A prominent lawyer connected
with banking interests had this to
say.
"a few weeks ago the banks were
worried sick. For the past few days
they have been without a care. The
reason is that from persons in Wash
ington, who know what is to take
place, they have received assurance
that the prohibition ban will be rails
ed very soon, and that the great
sums, loaned by banks on whisky
certificates, can be obtained through
distribution and sale of pledged liq-
uor.
81 should say that from fifteen to
twenty big banks are heavily involv-
ed"
