CLEMENT PROCLAMATION
STIRS LEADERS OF PARTY
CPublie Ledger service.)

The refusal of Gov. Percival W.
Clement, OF Vermont, to call an ex-
ira session of the Vermont legis-
lature stunned Republican leaders
here who thought that the Vermont
governor had given Senator Warren
G. Harding. Republican nominee,
every assurance that his State
would act within a few days OF
the conference between the two
men in Washington.
Close friends of Senator Harding
said yesterday that, following the
meeting with Gov. Clement, the
nominee was satisfied that action
would be taken in Vermont, and
that a Republican State would be
the thirty-sixth to approve the
right of women to vote in all cleo
tions.
Every indication here today was
that neither the Republican party
nor the suffragists would take Gov.
Clements word as final. bubt would
renew their efforts to obtain action
either in Vermont or Connecticut
in time to insure the ballot for
women in the Presidential cleo
tions.
Validity In Court.
Gov. Clements action on the face
Of things makes the outlook for
suffrage slightly gloomy. The court
test of the validity of the ratifica-
tion comes today, when the District
Supreme Court hears the motion
for an injunction sought by the
anti-suffragists.
I'VE hope" said Miss Alice Paul,
chairman of the Woman's party,
following a conference with W. L.
Frierson, acting attorney general,
that the hearing tomorrow will
end all quibbles against the amend
ment."
In discussing the action of Gov.
Clement Miss Paul said:
Holds Party ResponsfSle.
The refusal by Gov. Clement. of
Vermont. to permit the legislature
of his State to act on the sufYrars
amendment cannot be accepted an
final when 1t is in direct opposi-
ton to the stand Of his party and
to the pledge of that party's can
didate for the Presidency.
The Republicans have still the
responsibility of finding a way to
secure Gov. Clements support, as
well as the support of the Repub-
lican governor of Connecticut for
the party platform.
The National Woman's party
will lead a larger delegation than
ever to Senator Harding on July

sity of carrying. out the suffrage

By Girls Angry Father
At Betrothal Party.

Allentown, Pa. July 12.-Shoot-
ings which claimed three lives
within the last twenty-four hours
terrorized the foreign colony here
today.
The first shooting occurred at the
home of Angelo Masono, a leader
of the Italian colony. During a
dinner and reception at Aasono s
home at which the engagement OF
his daughter to Pompoll Maria was
announced, Masono shot and killed
the prospective son-in-law and
seriously wounded his wife and
daughter, police charged.
Masono fed, but was captured
two hours later. He refused to give
any explanation of the shooting,
but II was said he did not approve
of the proposed marriage.
The mother and daughter are in
a critical condition from bullet
wounds.

tragedy two sisters Miss Armen
Gorgodian and Mrs. Charles Davis,
were shot to death by an unknown

ARTIST REVELS

Aesthetic Tub Forms Last

Luxury House.

The fudge item in house fixtures
is the glass bath.
1t has been introduced in London
by Paul Poiret. the dress designer,
who is going in also for household
decoration in order that his gowns
might have worthy settings.
Despite many other attempts at
the aesthetic bathtub, none have
come up to Poiret's for beauty as
well as utility.
Gaby Deslys, 1t will be remem-
bered, prided herself on her black
marble bathroom. But many folks
seeking domestic luxury in their
ablutions, have pounced on the idea
of marble bathtub. only to return
a verdict that IL was ''cold and un-
comfortable" Some plutocrats have
even gone SO far as to use a gold
or silver bath: but these have been
pronounced bad FORM" and GER

a problem which has baffied many,
for his bath is of translucent green,

THIRSTY TOURISTS
SEEK BURIED rum

Search is being made at Cumber-
land House. Tho Pas. Manitoba. for
ten casks of rum which, according
to Indian legends, have been buried
there for the, past century and a
half.
The story, which has been handed
down. is that the rum was brought
into the North by a French trading
party who were stopped at Cumber-
land House and turned back by the
Hudson Bay people after they had
hidden the liquor. which had been
intended for Indian trade. The al
legged cache is supposed to include
muskets and anirnuni-
tion. but II is thought that these
goods may not have aged TO the
same advantage as the rum, ,which
is the subject of search.
