SUFFRAGE UP
EACAIN in SENATE
To Afford Agreement on Pro-
qram for Final Disposition
of Amendment.
OPPON ENTS FESTIVE
Admit Bill Will Pass, but
Want Last Chance to
Express Views.
(By Bart Campbell.)

Washington, May 2s,-U. n. ST.
Woman suffrage was scheduled to
pop up again in the senate today
but largely for the purpose of af-
fording the proponents and oppo-
nents of votes for women" an OPP
portunity to agree on a program for
next week, when the famous Susan
B. Anthony amendment was eX-
pected to be passed in the upper
chamber.
Senator Hoke Smith, democrst of
Georgia, leader of the opposition,
said that he was in accord with Sen
ator Watson, republican, of Indiana,
chairman of the new senate woman
suffrage committee, that the senate
get down to the final disposition of
next week Senator Watson hoped
to have the amendment called up
for consideration not later than Tues
day next.
"I am sure we can reach an agree
ment to take the amendment up by
the middle of next week." Senator
Smith told Senator Watson, and as
the Georgia senator is in charge OF
the democratic OppOSltlo1 10 the
amendment a final vote on the lat
ter was regarded as certain before
the end of next week.
Senator Watson's original motion
for the discharge vi the old senate
woman suffrage committee from fur
ther consideration of the amendment,
which was still on the senate calen-
dar as unfinished business, was to
be wiped off the slate soon after that
body reconvened today.
Then the senate was expected to
take up the question of when the
amendment would become debatable.
Senator Borah, progressive repub-
lican of Idaho. who is an avowed
foe of the amendment, declared that,
while it was evident that the amend
ment would pass, he desired full OPP
portunity to express his views on the
subject.
Southern democratic senator's also
stated that they wanted to argue
their position on the question, largely
from aviewpoint of states RIGHTS,
although they added that the pos
sibility Of the acknowledgment of
negro women in the south was a
serious problem that confronted
them.

SILENCE GREETS HAWKER
When He Makes Statement, Tlnged
With Jealousy.

London, May ga. P)-Speaking at
a luncheon given by the Daily Mail yes
terday in his and Lieutenant-Com-
mander Grieves honor, Harry G. Haw-
ker deprecated the organization which
had won for the United States the honor
of first crossing the Atlantic by heav-
er-than-air machine. He declared 1t
was not serious attempt with a ship
stationed at every twenty yards
Hawker continued:
IF you put a ship every fifty miles,
1t shows you have no tight in your mo-
tor"
This was greeted with absolute silence
on the part of the men gathered at the
luncheon, numbering between 250 and
300, nearly all of whom were British. A
few minutes before they had cheered
heartily the statement that the Amerl-
can aviators had been successful in
reaching Europe.
Hawker disclosed that on Saturday
night, Immediately preceding his start
he and Raynham had agreed that un-
less the wind changed they would start
on Sunday for a flight by way OF the
Azores and Portugal. The wind veered
slightly Saturday night, enough to give
Hawker and Grieve the chance to start
from their airdrome. but it was unfa-
vorable for Raynham.
He declared that although the weather
was urfavorable the success of the
Americans in reaching the Azores forced
him to start.
"Any Englishman here" he added,
would have done the same thing under
the same circumstances.

til they accept the terms in principle
and agree, to Agn. 1t is understood
that they will be allowed brief time
limit in which TO reply, possibly not
more than twenty four hours.
The allied peace delegates are very
much incensed at the fresh display
of discourtesy by the Germans In
publishing the text of their counter
proposals and sending it broadcast
before it's delivery today. In discuss
ing this action, delegates today re-
called the fact that Count Won Brock
dorff- -Rantzau did not rise to his feet
in addressing the allied delegates al
the first meeting at Versailles, and
other little acts Of apparent studied
discourtesy. M sf
A plenary session of the peace con-
ference was held this afternoon and
the text of the Austrian treaty, which
is to be handed to the Austrian dele
gates tomorrow, was communicated
to the smaller nations among the al
lied and associated powers. Capt.
Tardieu interpreted the text. which
closely follows that of the German
treaty insofar as the surrender of
Austria's resources and her shipping
is concerned.
