 Prominent physicians druggists and men higher up in many southern cities were named by Johnson as being con- nected with the illegal drug trarlie, along with details of the working or the gang or SmueSierS, IL la Seiu-
 While the officers of the revenue de- partment decline to make any of the svelations rn' lie, they admit that fol- lowing the arrest Of Johnhon agents were dispatched to Memphis and man. reported to be an important parsonage in the illegal traffic, was taken into custody along with d quantity of drugs

SUFFRAGE STILL
 UNSETTLED ISSUE
 FOR TENNESSEEANS
Vote Expected Early This Week-Objection Is Ex- pressed to President
 Taking Sides
By Associated Press

Nashville, Tenn, August IA. Replying today to a message from President Wilson express ing the hope that the Tennessee house would ratify the suffrage amendment Gin the interest of national harmony and vigor and of the establishment of the leadership of America in all liberal policies" Speaker Seth Walker telegraphed the chief executive that the President was "too great to assume it" and that he did not believe the men of Tennessee would "sur- render honest convictions for political expediency or har- mony."
 MT. Walker told the President he did not attempt to express the opinion of other members of the house, but spoke for himself alone, declaring that his views on the anne endment were con trary to those of MT. Wilson.
 The speaker is the leader of the op position in the house and the suf- fragists have regarded his influence as one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome. Until the legislature convened last Monday he had been counted among those favorable to rati fication and his announcement then that he would not support it occa- stoned keen disap appointment in the suf- frage camp.
 STORM BREAKS SOON
 Although many members of the as- Ssembly were spending the weekend at their homes, pro and anti-suffrage workers today continued their cam paign among those who remained in Nashville.
 Both the senate. which ratified the amendment yesterday, and the house were in adjournment until Monday afternoon.
 The house committee in charge of the suffrage resolution is scheduled to meet Monday night to consider the measure and a report is expected Tuesday morning. It was rumored last night an attempt to bury the res olution might be made by the opposi- tion, but various members of this fac ton said today they did not expect such a move. If report was made Tuesday, it was said, debate on mo tion for adoption or rejection prob ably would begin at once. Many mem bers have signified their. intention of speaking and a vote before Wednesday was not expected unless a night ses- sion should be arranged.
 BOTH CONFIDENT
 Both sides still were confident of victory. Several opposition leaders said today they were certain of a slight majority. but the suffrage ad- vocates still stood by their poll of from 53 to 60. Fifty votes are neces- sary for ratification.
 United States Senator Mcclellan de- clared the amendment would be rati- fled. T am not sure of the size of the majority in the house, he said but - will be ample"
 Miss Sue White, Tennessee state chairman of the national woman's party, however, was not optimistic. Our foes are not yet finally defeat ed," she stated, they are simply des- perate and we must fright as never before if we are to grasp the victory that seems so near at hand"
 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Womans Suf- frage Association, continued her policy of refraining from taking an active part in the fight
