REPUBLICANS PUT
OVER SUFFRAGE BILL
GEORGIA MEMBERS AND OTHER
SOUTHERNERS ALMOST SOL
IDLY AGAINST 1T.

WASHINGTON, Is. -C.-National
suffrage for women was indorsed by
the house of representative for the
second time today when the Susan B.
Anthony amendment resolution was
adopted by a vote of 3O4 to 80. Sup
porters of the measure Immediately
arranged to carry their fight to the
senate, where, although twice defeat
ed at the last session, they are con-
fident of obtaining the necessary two
thirds vote
Many southern democrats opposed
the measure, as did several New Eng
land republicans.
The favorable vote was more by
IA than would have been necessary
had all members of the house been
present.
The political division of the vote
showed that 200 republicans, 1O2
democrats, one independent and one
prohibitionist voted for adoption,
while the negative poll showed 70
democrats and 10 republicans.
Speaker Gillett, who voted against
the resolution on previous ballots,
did not vote today.
One Republican Spoke Against 1t.
The only republican to speak
against the resolution was Represent
alive Focht, of Pennsylvania, who as
serted that his objection would re-
main unchanged if his political defeat
was certain. He added that mo man
from New York, Pennsylvania or
Ohio, down in his heart, favors this
thing" He declared the resolution
was fostered and forced to a vote by
representatives from western states.
Representative Clark, of Florida,
the democratic leader of the anti
suffrage forces, in a speech opposing
the resolution admitted "the cards
are stacked and the decree is writ
ten"
Eleven Georgia congressman were
against the measure-Bell, Crisp,
Park, Wise, Vinson, Lankford, Brand,
Overstree5, Wright, Larsen and Lee.
One Georgia member, w. D. Upshaw,
voted for it.
The bill was introduced and push
ed to vote by Mr.. Mann, republi-
can, of Illinois.

$l76,666 FOR COTTON
SEIZED BY SHERMAN
CHECK FOR FULL AMOUNT OF
CLAIM PAID BY GOVERNMENT.
LAWYERS GET HALF.

SAVANNAH, Cat developed in
the superior court yesterday that the
long fight in the interests of the
stockholders of the Importing and
Exporting Company of Georgia
against the United States government
for the value of cotton seized by Gen.
Sherman in Georgia during the war
between the state had been won and
that the full amount of the claim,
$176, 666.79, had actually been paid.
This will be welcome news to the
stockholders of the company, who are
scattered throughout many Southern
states. Through a petition filed yes
terday it was disclosed That counsel
for Evan B. Basch, surviving core
ceiver of the company, obtained a
check for the full amount from the
treasury department in Washington
last Tuesday.
The next step will be to divide that
part of the proceeds which goes to
the stockholders. Edmund H. Abra-
hams of Osborne, Lawrence & Abra-
hams, who has personally handled the
legal phases of the case since he &C
cepted the case in 1909, filed the pc
tition. He obtained permission from
Judge Meldrim to advertise twice a
month in three daily newspapers in
the states of Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
North and South Carolina, Virginia
and Tennessee, calling on all who
claim the right to participate in the
proceeds to this fund to file their
claims by Nov. 10, 1919, or be barred
| forever.
When the fight started there seem
ed little chance of success. The gov
ernment confscated the cotton in
1855. 1t belonged to the Importing
and Exporting Company of Georgia.
Up to the time the suit was insti-
tuted no claim of this character had
been paid by the government The
year later congress was induced TO
pass an enabling act and the follow
ed a long and difficult contest. The
government seized the books and rec
ords of the company along with the
cotton. Fortunately all of the docu-
ments had been preserved intact by
the government, and it was with these
papers, which the government was
called upon to produce, that the
claimants proved their case.
The fee which counsel will receive
is nearly $4,000 for their share for
their services, perhaps one OF the
largest fees ever paid for legal ser
vices in Georgia.

WEEKS MORE Time
IS GIVEN GERMANS
NOW BELIEVED THAT CHANGES
IN TREATY WILL INDUCE
HUN SIGNATURES.

PARIS.~-The conclusion of peace
between the allied and associated
governments and Germany has been
removed further into the future by
the action of the peace conference in
extending until May 20 the date for
the Germans to submit their answers
to the treaty of peace submitted May
7. According to estimates at Paris
there was some expectation that the
pact might be signed about June Is,
but it now appears that the date of
the signature of the document will
be week or more later.
The German delegation is under
stood to have presented an eleventh
hour note demanding an extension of
time and adding that they can not
sign the treaty now because they have
not had sufficient time to consider it
Make Notifications.
The "5ig five" met this morning
and considered recommendations fol
certain changes in the peace treaty
which will make it more acceptable
to the German government.
The recommendation had to dc
with the demands for PREPARATION
made by the allies and objected to
by the Germans. The notifications
were designed to make it easier fol-
Germany to meet the conditions re,
garding indemnities imposed. Modi
fications have been made in the terms
of the Saar Valley award.
These suggestions for changes were
made following receipt of reports
from secret sources that chances tina
the present German government
would sign the treaty would be great
ly increased if certain modification
were made.
Apparently the Germans contem
plate submitting very voluminous re
plies to some of the terms presented
by the peace conference.

RECOMMENDATION LITTLE
SURPRISED PROHIBITIONISTS

NEW YORK.-The Anti-Saloon
League was mot much surprised at
President Wilson's recommendation
to congress that the wartime prohi-
bition law be repealed" William H.
Anderson, superintendent of the New
York state branch, declared in a
statement issued here tonight.
The vets were unable to keep
from telling, after the return of Sam
uel Gompers, that some assurance
had been given" Mr.. Anderson's
statement said.
Plans of the league to have church
congregations throughout the coun-
try adopt resolutions on June 8 call
ing on congress to pass adequate"
enforcement laws for both the war
time and permanent prohibition acts
will be modified, he said, so as to
make of the meetings monster mass
meetings to protest against the re-
peal"
The association opposed to nation
al prohibition was neither surprised
or over-jubIlant over the presidents
recommendation" it declared in a
statement issued tonight, explaining
that it had received "advices from
Paris" two weeks ago that the presi-
dent contemplated such action. "But
if the operation of such a piece OF
legislation would be unfair and un>
just to those employed in the wine
and beer business" the statement
said, at would be equally unfair ana
unjust to these employed in all other
lines of the liquor business"

Bryan believes that the repeal OF

WILSON AND ORLANDO
HAVE CLASHED AGAIN
ITALIAN PREMIER OBJECTS TO
LACK OF FORMALLY. FORCES
WITHDRAWAL OF GREEK.

PARIS.-It has been learned in
trustworthy quarters that the United
States, Great Britain and France
have united in sending a note re-
questing an explanation of the land
ing of Italian forces in Turkey.
Premier Orlando is said to have
made a reply to the council of four
after sharp personal incident dur
ing which he objected to the pres
ence of Premier Venizelos. of Greece.
The latter retired from the meeting.
The Italians landed forces at Ada
LA, Budrum and Makri during the
period when Premier Orlando and
Foreign Minister Sonnino had with
drawn from the peace conference,
making the landings without notice
to the allies.
The nature of the Italian reply ana
whether it was acceptable to the
senders of the note is not known.
Premier Venizelos was invited to
attend recent meeting of the coun-
Gil of four at which the subject of
AOHIyIIld WAS uuuST consideration,
because of the Greek interest in
Smyrna, near which an Italian land
ing was made. When Premier Or
lando entered the council chamber
President Wilson, putting aside thu
usual diplomatic formality, address
ed him directly, asking what the an
swer was to the note inquiring as to
the landing of Italian forces in Tur-
key.
Forced Withdrawal of Venizelos.
The Italian premier, with apparent
feeling, replied he was prepared to
explain to the council of four, but
not with outsiders present Premier
Venizelos at once offered to with
draw, but President Wilson b said to
have insisted upon his remaining.
Premier Orlando declined to proceed,
however, until Premier Venizelos
withdrew.

WINE-BEER PLAN
BRINGS AN OUTCRY
PRESIDENTS PROPOSAL TO RE-
PEAL WAR TIME PROHIBITION
AROUSES DRY" ADVOCATES.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Wilson's recommendation to congress
that the wartime prohibition meas
ure be repealed and that the sale of
wine and beer be permitted has
aroused prohibitionists throughout
the United States, and there is no
probability that the presidents plan
will be put through congress.
Senator Sheppard, of Texas, dem
ocrat, and Representative Randall, OF
California, prohibitionist, champions
of the war-C time dry" law, and other
prohibition advocates issued state
ments announcing determined oppo-
sition to repeal legislation
Will Be No Wilson Wetness During
Wartime Dryness.
They declared a large majority of
congress favors prohibition and pre-
dicted the repeal measure would not
be enacted Some republican lead
ers charged the president with shift
ing responsibility to the republican
congress and said that all he would
gain would be criticism of prohibi-
tionists.
Not only will the prohibition law
not be repealed, but prohibition lead
ers are planning to enact the legis-
lation, which failed at the last SEES
sion, for enforcement of the war
time prohibition act, and the consti-
tutional amendment. Measures to
that effect have already been intro.
duced.
Republicans VIII Disregard Rec
concentrations.
Indeed, the joy of the vets over
the presidents recommendation was
indeed short-lived.
Immediately after the message was
read republican leaders of the senate
and house of representatives an
nouhced they would not touch the
matter in any way. This means, of
course, there is no chance that con-
gress will repeal or amend the act
and that the country will go dry on
July 1 according to previous sched-
ule.
Only one loophole remains open to
the "wets." The president may
change his mind regarding his per-
sonal lack of power to legally sus-
pend the application of wartime pro-
hibition. The law provides that pro-
hibition shall be effective from July
1 until the president shall have pro-
claimed rehabilitation ended.

GEORGIAN FIGHTS
COACHWHTP SNAKE
THRILLING BATTLE BETWEEN
MAN AND REPTILE. GARDEN
SASS WAS RUINED.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Some folks say
coachwhip won't chase you and tie
you to pine tree and whip the ever
lasting whey out of you. They scan
dalize this ancient tradition as un-
scientific and beside the facts and the
evidence. The defense now calls to
the stand one G. w. Robbins, whose
initials may or may not stand for
George Washington, and who lives at
East Point, in the daytime and night
watches at the Dowman-Dozier plant
In Atlanta by night.
Mr.. Robbins, being duly certified,
deposes and says that the blamed
coachwhip went as far as possible
he chased Mr.. Robbins three times
around his own garden, to begin with,
and when Mr.. Robbins finally turned
and gave battle, he (the coachwhip)
lassoed him and the ensuing wrestling
match simply ruined a large part of
an acre of excellent radishes and
some fine young onions
Mr.. Robbins says he was out in
the garden Monday afternoon pulling
some radishes when he discovered a
slX-foot coachwhip snake watching
him balefully. Mindful of the tradi-
ton, and despite the absence of pine
trees, Mr.. Robbins turned and fled,
the coachwhip after him. Round and
round the garden patch fled Mr.. Rob-
bins, and the coachwhip still pursued
him.
The chase ended near the barn,
where Mr.. Robbins was forced to
pause for breath. Whether the coach
whip was short of wind also does not
appear, but he started crawling under
the barn to think it over.
Mr.. Robbins, encouraged by this
maneuver and angered at the damage
already wrought among his garden
sass, grasped the snake by his deli
cately tapering tail and dragged him,
kicking furiously, from beneath the
barn. Instantly the coachwhip chang
ed his tactics and looped himself
about Mr.. Robbins neck.
Business picked up at once, and
the warm spring atmosphere was
shattered by rude EXPLANATIONS of
WIG 4HC I
coachwhip had combination grape
vine and head-hold on Mr.. Robbins,
who was striving to achieve the dead
ly toe-hold made famous by the late
Mr. Gotch. The radish bed was used
as mat, and the grapple was fast
and furious. 1t is always a difficult
matter to put toe-hold on a large
and scientific snake, but Mr.. Robbins
was battling for his life and few re-
naming radishes-and he got the
hold
The first thing Mr.. Robbins did
was to unwrap the snake from about
his goozle. The next thing he did was
not stritly in accord with the wrest-
ling regulations. Instead of pinning
the coachwhip's shoulders to the rad
ish bed M. Robbins deliberately and
with malice aforethought popped his
enemy's skull vindictively against the
side of the barn.
The battle ended here. The snake
measured two inches over two yards
from tip to tip.
