TO TRY SEASIDE
 WALL DISPUTE
$50, ,OOO Action Against "A Scott, Inc. to Be Heard
 Tomorrow.

Trial of the 1000 suit brought by the City of Bridgeport against the T. A. Scott Co.,, Inc, of New London. is assigned for trial tomorrow before Judge Curtis in the superior court. This action is the outcome of trouble over the destruction of part of the sea- wall at Seaside park by a severe storm in 1917.
 The Scott Company had partially completed the wall under a contract, which was drawn up in 1916, when the storm damaged the work. The city claimed that under the contract the company was supposed to repair the wall but this claim is denied by the Scott officials. The estimated cost of the reyairs was s46,000. The wall was to be 3,925 feet in length. The unusual severity of the storm is one ground of defense which the Scott Company intends to put forward.

MARSHALL,-ON
 SUFFRAGE SIDE
Decides All Questions in Favor of Suffra-
 gists.

washinton, May 26.-An effort to expedite a vote on the woman suffra ge constitutional amendment resolution adopted by the House last week, was made in the Senate today after the Republican senators at committee conference had pledged prompt action on the measure.
 Senator Watson. of Indiana, chair man of the Woman Suffrage commit tee, called up the motion of Senator Jones. Republican,o Washington. pro- posing that the committee be dis charged from it's consideration and the resolution placed on ths Senate calendar. Senator Watson said he would like to have the resolution talk en up immediately and a final vote reached before adjournment.
 Southern Democratic senators op- posed hasty action. Senator Under wood of Alabama, said the resolution was "sent through" the House with no lengthy consideration and that the senate should act in an orderly man ner on a subject of such importance. After some discussion a motion to ta- ble the motion of Senator Jones was defeated 64 to 27, and Senator Smith. Democrat. of Georgia, resort ed to parliamentary tactics to permit further debate. Leaders of many women's organizations were in the galleries for the debate.
 Vote on the motion was preceded by a parliamentary tangle in which Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah, called for the regular order of busi- ness. Vice President Marshall, how ever, decided all questions in favor of the suffrage supporters.
