SUFFRAGE LAW TO STAND
Colby Refuses to Rescind Action at
Request Of Ants.

MISUNDERSTANDING Colby has
refused to grant the request of anti
~sufsragists from Tennessee that he
rescind his action in proclaiming rati-
fic lion Of the federal suffrage amend
mont on the basis of favorable action
on the amendment by the Tennessee
Legislature.
-\fter the secretary announced his
decision to the delegation at a confer
ence he was requested to publish all
documents regarding action by the
Tennessee Legislature as received by
him. These Documents, it was said,
showed that the Legislature first rati.
fled the amendment and that the lower
House then rescinded its action.
Mr.. Colby said the object of the pro.
ceedings was to prevent that which
already had become a fact.

GENEVA, via Paris.-Declarin
that he had lost everything he owned,

at poker, Andrea Colloni, arrested
here for bigamy, told the Magistrate
that he considered that when his OPP
ponent drew the lease ace" he was
legally divorced.
The game was played in Milan.
First Colloni lost his cash, then his
jewels, then his home and finally in
desperation he staked his wife, a
beautiful young girl he had recently
married.
Calloni drew three aces pat and his
opponent two kings and the queen
jack and ten. Splitting his kings the
way they do down Texas way the
lucky gambler drew the ease" ace.
Colloni drew two cards without bet
tering his hand and thus lost to the
straight.
Two months later Calloni, after
honorably handing over his spouse to
the victor, married again. Now he's
due for a stretch of bigamy.
Just before sentence he offered to
cut the cards with the Judge to see
whether 1t should be two years or
only one. The Judge refused and
made the sentence three years. So
far as is known Calloni Is not taking
a pack with him into jail.
