WILL, HEAR ARGUMENTS
FOR AND AGAINST
CODE FRIDAY
Members of State Judiciary
Give Weeks Considera-
ton to Law

Members of the State Judiciary,
after a conference with Governor
Townsend on Tuesday relative to his
request as to the legality of the school
code, sent to the Governor formal
communication, stating that they
would sit at the County Court House
in Dover, at II o'clock, Wednesday,
September 10, to hear argument on
the school code questions.
1t was shortly before noon when the
Governor. Chancellor Curtis and all
the law judges went into conference
in the Supreme Curt room. This
conference lasted about 10 minutes
when the Governor retired to his
office. Some time later the judges
went to Governor Townsend's office
and handed to him the following COM
munication:
"Governor John G. Townsend, Jr.
Dear Sir:-The Chancellor and
Law Judges of the State have recelV-
ed YOUR communication requesting
their opinion requesting the constltu-
tionality of the act of the Legislature
passed at the last session and COM
monty known as the School Codef
"In view of the great and general
interest felt in the question you have
submitted, we think our opinion should
not be based upon & hasty and lmper-
feet consideration of the matter, but
should be reached after careful ex-
animation of the statute and the law
applicable to the question raised.
To that end we have concluded that
at least a weeks time is essential and
that an opportunity should be given
to any attorneys who may desire be-
fore US either side of the question.
We will meet again in the County
Court room at Dover, on Wednesday,
September 10, at II o'clock, and will
be pleased to hear and consider any
arguments that may then be sumbit-
ted either orally or written.
"The Chancellor and law judges
would much prefer to determine the
question in a regular judicial proceed
ing. but they realize that such pro-
ceeding would involve more delay
than would be justified, in view Of the
necessity for a reasonably early deci-
sion. The Importance of the question
does, however, require careful con-
sideration, and the procedure we pro-
pose to follow seems to US to be the
best that can be adopted under the
circumstances" Very respectfully,
CHARLES NJ. CURTIS,
Chancellor.

Chief Justice.

WASHINGTON, May 22.- Recon-

that legislation returning the telephone

were forwarded to-day by the Post

The boards recommendation also
include creation of a tribunal TO hear

Mere return Of the wires to their

Extraordinary costs of operation and

said, "will continue for some time after

Because of these extraordinary

"a serious responsibility rests upon the

The members Of the Board are
unanimously of the opinion that in

As Republicans of
Both Sexes Confer
Chairman Hays Says Women
Come Into Party With
Equal Voice and Full
Rights of Men Voters
New York Tribune
ITnshir atom Rurenu

'uo|ti'yttf
WASHINGTON. May 22.-"How te
organize and how to win," is the pur-
pose of the conference of Republican
men and women now in progress in
Washington. The conference was
called by the Republican Women's Ma
tional Executive Committee, of which
Mrs. Medill Mccormick is chairman.
Republican National Chairman Will
Hays addressed the first meeting this
morning.
There is only one possible rule for
political party" said NIr Hays, land
that is that the rights of the individual
membership to participate in the man
agement of the party's affairs must be
and must remain sacred and sacredly
equal.
The Republican women in this coun-
try are part of the party member
ship. They come into this party ac-
tlvlty not as women, but as voters, en-
Titled to participate. and participating
in so far as the present legal limita-
tlons permit just as other voters
Iher activity is not supplementary,
anclllary nor secondary at all-they
are units in the party membership, and
where the suffrage for them is new
they come in just as men have come
IN when they have reached the legal
voting age.
They are to be assimilated and
amalgamated with just that full con-
sideraton due every working member
of the party in the rights of their full
citizenship. There is to be no separate
women's organization created within
the party, except and only in those
cases where such an arrangement NAV
be needed temporarily as an efficient
instrument in the aid of the complete
malgamation which is our objective"
Mrs. Mccormick also addressed the
conference. She said:
This conference has been called bv
the Republican Women's National Ex
ecutive Committee for the purpose of
determining how best the women NAV
participate in the party's affairs. We
feel that we bring into the party GER
tain qualities, which, if properly di-
rected. will prove to be a material
asset"
Senator Lodge visited the convention
late in the afternoon. At banquet to-
night, at which Mrs. Mccormick pre-
sided and Miss Mary Garrett Hay was
toastmaster, Senator Cummins, Presi-
dent pro temDore of the Senate, said:
For america First"
~ have not yet advanced to that
stage of internationalism which counts
it greater honor to be a citizen of the
world than to be citizen of the United
States.
ACROSS the sea there is war
wrecked, bankrupt, revengeful, turbu-
lent continent, and we must deal with
1t Justly, temporarily and generously;
but l for one decline to assume all its
burdens or undertake to compose it's
passionate disputes.'
Mrs. Mccormick was presented with
silver loving cup by the women of
her committee.
Il am glad to be permitted to serve
the party my father served so long"
said the daughter of Mark Hanna. ~
have been thinking Of him all day. and
of how much he would have enioyed
giving this gathering his benediction."

Lodge Definitely Slated
For Foreign Chairman
Penrose Is Favored for Appro-
priations and Warren for
Finance. 1t Is Believed

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Consider-
able progress was made to-day by the
Republican Committee on Committees
IN selecting the Republican members
of the Senate's standing committees,
but Chairman Brandegee said no an
nounccment would be made until the
committee had reported to the Repub-
lican conference.
The committee, it was understood,
has definitely appointed Senator
Lodge, OF Massachusetts, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee.
While no final action has yet been
taken, the committee is understood to
be unanimously in favor Of Senator'S
Penrosc, of Pennsylvania, and War
rem, of Wyoming, as chairmen of the
Finance and Appropriations commit
tees, respectively. despite the oppo-
sition of the Progressive Republicans
The committee also was understood
to have rendered membership on the
Foreign Relations Committee to Sen
ators New, of Indiana; Moses, of New
Hampshire; Harding, of Ohio, and
Kenyon, of Iowa. Owing to the i'm
portance of this committee, which will
have charge of the peace treaty, mem
berships have been much sought.

Wilcox and Hilles
Approve Hays Plan
For Campaign Fund
Former Chairmen of Repub-
lican National Committee
Likes Idea Limiting All
Subscriptions to 81, 200

William R. Wilcox and Charles D.
Hllles, former chairmen of the Repub
lican National Committee, yesterday
strongly commended the plan an
nounccd by Will H. Hays, chairman of
the committee, TO limit campaign con-
tributions to $1,000 and to obtain the
maximum number of dollar sub
scriptions.
''The idea is commendable from every
point of view" said Mr.. Wilcox last
night. IN the last campaign we
started a system of ten dollar subscrp
tlons, and we were quite thoroughly or
ganlzed in three or four states. be-
came chairman of the committee in
June, and there was lack Of time to or
ganize in all the states. By starting it
now Chairman Hays can make the plan
nationwide, and look to see excellent
results.
"Wc made it a point three years ago
to reduce some of the larger subscrip-
Hiii NOlliiutHl JHdL all ncCCS-
sary funds for legitimate campaign ex
penses can be raised in small sums.
making the contributors feel like part
ners in the business. With Repub-
licans united and in dead earnest. as
they now are and undoubtedly will con-
tinue to be through 1920, ample funds
can he raised by limiting the subscrip-
tions"
ut is a fine idea" said Mr.. Hilles.
IF remember correctly, in the
Hughes campaign the national commit
tcs had n-dollar contributions from
about 25.O00 persons. Such contribu-
tons made the giver one of the sus-
tanning membership, and he received
certificate signed by the chairman and
by Treasurer Bliss.
ut is only fair that the legitimate
expenses of the campaign should be
spread over as wide a base as possible.
Republicans like to feel that they are
part of the army, and there is nothing
that gives them the feeling more Ger
talnly than making a contribution TO
the cause. believe the plan of Chair
man Hays will be heartily supported
all over the country"
