SUFFRAGE
IN.
HOUSE BY.
TO SO
Resolution Receives AZ Votes
+, More Than Necessary Two
Thirds Majority; Now
Ready for Senate.

Washington, May 2l.-National
suffrage for women was endorsed
by the house of representatives for
the second time when the Susan B.
Anthony amendment resolution to-
day WAS adopted by vote of 304
to 80. Supporters of the measure
Immediately arranged to carry their
fight to the senate, where, although
twice defeated at the last session,
they are confident of obtaining the
necessary two-thirds vote.
The victory for the suffrage forces
today was by AZ votes more than
the required two-thirds. On the
previous ballot on the resolution
cast January 10, 1918, exactly the
necessary number of affirmative
votes were recorded.
The six Nebraska congressman
voted in favor of the resolution.
Democrats Oppose Measure.
House leaders of. both parties in
the brief debate preceding today's
vote urged favorable action, but
many southern democrats opposed
the measure as did several New
England 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 republi-
cans, 102 democrats, one indepen-
dent and one prohibitionist voted
for adoption, while the negative
poll showed 20 democrats and 19
republicans.
Efforts of opponents to amend the
resolution were unavailing. Repre-
sentative Clark of Florida, democrat,
leader of the opposition, proposed
that the states ratification be COM
pulsory within seven years, and Rep
resentative Saunders of Virginia,
democrat, sought to compel state
adoption by popular vote. The over
whelming denial of roll cali on
these proposals by vote of 244 to
81 preceded the vote of adoption,
and indicated the relative strength
of the resolutions supporters and
opponents.
Predict Senate Victory.
Suffrage organization leaders ex-
pressed qualification at the large
favorable vote and predicted victory
in the senate due to changes in men,
bership. 1t is expected the resolu-
ton will come up for a vote early
next month in that body.
Unlike former occasions when
suffrage was before either branch
of congress-, only a small crowd
was present when debate began. Be-
fore the final'roll call, however, all
seats were filled, principally by
members of suffragists' organiza-
tons. Frequent applause pune
tuated the debate, but the 1oudest
outburst came when Speaker Gil
lette announced the final vote.
Both Republican Leader Mondell
and Democratic Leader Clark asked
adoption of the resolution, the lat
ter referring to President Wilson's
request for such action, while Mr..
Mondell praised the republican
members for their attitude, pointing
out that adoption. of the resolution
was the first legislative act of the
new congress.
Clark Gets Ovation.
Former Speaker Champ Clark
spoke in favor of the resolution.
When he arose he was accorded
an ovation by democrats and re-
publicans alike, the members rising
in their seats and cheering for sew
eral minutes. He urged passage OF

Washington, May 21.-The special narcotic committee,

The report is of most sensational character It shows
the United States the largest of drugs in the
world with than 900 addcs and than $751;
100000 spent annually by drug to satisfy the habit
also shows national organization of "dope peddlers who

of opium it says:
Onium Addicts Manv.

when it is considered that the
greater portion of our citizens do
not take a single dose of opium
year after year, it is manifest that
this enormous per capita consump-
ton is the result of its use for the

Further IS per cent of the cocaine
imported in this country is used for
illicit purposes and the same is true
regarding heroin, morphine and
other drugs.
The traffic is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Practically all of the
larger cities report increases, and
one estimate of the natioon's num-
ber of addicts included in the report
is 100000 persons. The COM
n1ittee's figure of 100000 is hereby
shown to be conservative. One
quarter of these 100000 drug users
or 250,0O0, are unemployed. In this
respect alone the traffic caused the
country an annual loss in wages Of
more than $l50,000,00Q

Abandon Hope.

London, May 2l.-Hope for the
safety of Harry G. Hawker and his
navigator, 1t. Com. Mackenzie
Grieve has virtually been abandoned
by the admiralty. Many vessels are
still continuing the search, but it is
not known whether the Sopwith
plane fell near Ireland, or shortly
after the start from Newfoundland.
Absence of any report of a call
from Hawker's wireless which had
a sending radius of 100 miles in
clines naval and aviation experts to
the latter view.
.Criticise Government.
Most of the newspapers are criti-
cising the government for its failure
to extend any aid to the enterprise,
contrasting this policy with that Of
the American government in patrol
ling the route from Newfoundland
to the Azores in order to insure the
safety of the crews of the seaplanes.

St. Johns, May 2l.-Capt. Fred

ator, whose Martinsyde plane was
wrecked when he tried to take off
Sunday in the wake of Harry Haw-
ker, today cab1ed builders of his ma
chine in England, asking that an
other transatlantic navigator be ap-
pointed to replace Capt. Charles w.
F. Morgan, declared by physicians
to be "out of the transatlantic race"
because of injuries suffered in the
accident with Raynham.
Flyers here tonight advanced but
one theory to account for the COM
p1ete disappearance of Hawker and

unfortunate little craft was forced
into the ocean within an hour or two
of its start from this coast and sank

explanation Of the situation which
would not constitute a declaration OF
war between what We may call the
Fuller group and the WI Tsang group,
between criminal America and the
criminal Orient. Finally in pure
nervousness he lifted the top OF the
desk in a manner which would ordI-
narily bring Il typewriter into posi-
ton for use. Instead Of a typewriter,
however. there came up a device like
telephone reoeiver, screwed firmly
in the place where the typewriter
should have been.

hear?"

in the only language common to the

short staccato accent of his country,
the Hindu in the elegant eighteenth
century English which the educated
Hindu learns from books.
Now, all the lore Of the magicians

Hindu. "She is on the premises. If
she is not discovered, IT means the
ruin Of our great plan for the world
dominion OF the Orient"
The man who was listening at the
dictaphonc was not an economist, but
he knew enough of financial matters
to understand from the conversation
that he heard, that in all this great
plan for obtaining the mastery OF the
secret of turning base metals into
gold, the Orient had been using him
self and Snyder and Mrs. Thayer as
tools; that these subtle Orientals had
plan not for mere riches but for
world empire. They expected to
make gold as common as sand; so
cheap that IL would be used for
kitchen utensils. for rings and Lifts OF
harness. for bath tubs, for fire arms,
as an alloy for making wire: they
would make il as cheap as iron, and
the result would be complete bank
ruptcy for every nation now on a

This gentleman was in the habit Of
sileneing all intelligent conversation
BY his observations, more or less in
telligible. on the mystic subject.
While his observations usually sub
tracted from the sum total of human
knowledge, the memory OF them took
its place in the thoughts by which
she deduced the conclusion that while
Thomas jeffrey Fuller and John Sny-
der were probably nothing more than
very able and interruptions American
criminals. in those who had set up
the shrine of the gold Buddha she
had to meet men more interruptions
and vastly more able in intellect than
she had expected to meet even when
warned by her father against WI
Tsang. Yet, why should she have
been saved out OF their hands, I'M
less eventually she was to emerge
triumphant?
While this thought was running
through her mind, she was carefully
feeling OF the walls, and, at last, came
to heavy deal door on which was a
hasp hanging loose, which enabled 1t
to be fastened on the inside. Open
ing the door. she. stepped out into q

which were heavily barred with iron.
There were several doors leading into
different compartments Of the base
ment. One OF these compartments
next to the furnace was partially

found two small rooms, furnished
with beds and which had evidently
been used at some time as servants
quarters, but were filled with such q
clutter OF various kinds OF lumber as
to indicate that they had not recently
been occupied. At every window she
found the same solid iron bars set IN
masonry. Despair clutched her heart
as she made her second round and
still found the walls Of her imprison-
ment impregnable.
Suddenly she heard voices as oil

into the basement. She hastily re-
entered the chamber at the bottom Of
the tube down which she had been
shot by the release OF the trap door,
and noiselessly fastened the hasp on
the inside. The voices came nearer:
the men entered one Of the abandon
ed sleeping chambers. and after some
murmur OF consultation Madeline
heard them as they retired. Silence
followed. Again she began her rounds,
and upon entering the chamber near
est her own private cubby hole, she
saw in the dim light a man sitting
up in bed. his forehead bound with
a bloody bandage, and he himself clad
in the uniform OF an aviator in the
United States air service.
That uniform gave her confidence.
for she knew that It Is worn by men OF
gallantry and honor only. She rush

Madeline Conner was not liberated
by any magic. For half an hour she
struggled intently with the cabinet in
which she was confined. Sometimes
che became exhausted by her efforts.
but the little cell defied her powers.
She wondered how long she was to
remain cooped up in this chamber.
notwithstanding the small openings
at the top and bottom, she began to
feel suffocated; yet never for a mo
ment did she wish for deliverance at
the hands OF the enemies who had
placed here there. She wished for a
weapon so that she might defend her
self when the door was opened. The
minutes dragged. She pondered as
to whether Il was yet night. Some
times a faintness came over her. She
speculsted as to how long she could
live there without food. II seemed
to her that the fAIntness came Tor
lack Of food. She had heard that
