London, February 27.-The labor partys bill extending the franchise to women on exactly the same terms as applied to men passed through the second reading of the House of Commons unanimously today. This means it will go 10 committee for possible amendments and again come be- fore the House
 The bin provides that the present voting age of womeA-so years be lowered to 2t. which is the Inans voting age. This would add 100000 voters to the register
 Christopher Addison, in his speech on the subject asserted abortion of the bill would make the total of women voters over 100000 or half million more worhen voters than men voters.
 Lady Astor in her second speech of the week. announced herself in favor ot the bill, declaring it was not for the sake but for the sake of the country. Every one knows a woman of is years is far older and wider in many ways than a man of 2o,' said Lady Astor. She then touched on her election to the Commons. saying:
 Some one has referred to the Plymouth elections as a circus. Well, 1 can tell them the lady who was elected was not the clown
 People who do not want women in public life are behind the time," sho continued "rhere are certain reforms women want and they are going to get them !"

MUCH TREATY TALK BUT NO ACTION IN SENATE YESTERDAY ~
 Norris Takes Four Hours Denouncing Provisions of
 Treaty Which Af-
 fects Egypt
By Associated pr...

Washington, February 27,-The Senate talked without acting today in It's con uslderation of the peace treaty.
 < As on yesterday. most of the time went to the irreconcilable opponents of ratifi- cation. Senator Norris, republican, Ne brasla, one of the irreconcilable group. making four-hour speech in denuncia- tion of the treaty provision affecting Egypt and the treatment accorded the Egyptian delegates to Versailles Only for 8 brief period just before adjourn ment was there any discussion of the pending reservation, which deals with decision of domestic questions under the league Adoption of the reservation in it's original form was advocated by Sem ator Smith, democrat, Georgia, who ar gued that the substitute presented yes- terday by Senator Hitchcock of Ne- braska, the administration leader would amount to amendment of the treaty.
 While the debate was in progress the leaders on both sides made separate can vases of the attitude of democratic sem ators toward acceptance of the crucial Article 10 reservation in the form 1t went through las. November, with the result that both claimed 1o Sa gaining strength. Among the republicans it was declared that only a few more demo. cratic votes would be needed to insure ratification, but the administration sem stors asserted ratification would fail by wide margin unless the republican Ar ticle 10 reservation were modified
 The democratic leaders also are under. stood to have felt out sentiment among the irreconcilables, particularly with a view to the probable political conse- ouences if ratification on the basis of the republican reservations again were blocked by democratic votes. Such a re- suit. 1t generally iss conceded. would throw the whole question into the cam. paizn. and some democratic senators are said to be anxious to learn how far ake irreconcilable republicans would 20 ff, their opposition should the republican national convention declare for ratifica. tion with reservations.
 On this question 1t was declared dt. vided counsels were found among the irreconcilables. Senator Borah. repub- lican of Idaho. has said openly that he would carry the fight for rejection to the people after the convention. Others Of the group, however. are said to favor accepting the decision of the convention while even Mir. Borah has been indefI- nite in the suggestions he has made with regard to the possible formation of a third party.

 The measure was returned to the White House today from the department of Jus tice. which ruled that there was no con stitutional objection, to it's admission to the statute books It later was referred to Director General Hines for his opinion.
 Mir. Hines has made study Of tho measure since it first was taken up Tn conference between the House and Sem ate. and has said that he regarded 1t as about the best lgislation that could De obtained under all circumstances.
 The President has before him requests of the railroad brotherhoods and the Na- tionaI Farmers Council and the Amer ican Society of Equity that he veto the measure and also the requests of other fafmers' organizations that he sign it and bring government control to an end

|ND|CT DEMPSEY FOR CONSPIRACY
 ID EvADE DRAFT
Second Indictment Against Champion Charges Ac- tual Evasi0n-Kearns
 Also Indicted
sy Associated Prs.

San Francisco, February 77.-Wil- liam Harrison tJack) Dempsey. heavy weight champion of the world. and his manager. Jack Kearns, were indicted by the federal grand jury today on a charge that they conspirea to have Dempsey evade the selective draft. A second indictment against Dempsey charged actual evasion of the draft. e
 Warrants were sworn out for their arrest and their bonds fixed at $1.000 each. The conspiracy charge provided for maximum penalty of two years in the penitentiary and $2,000 fine and the evasion charge one year in prison.
 The indictment followed weeks of in vestigation conducted by E. M. Elan ford, chief of the department of jus tice bureau of investigation and Col. c. W. Thomas, assistant United States district attorney here. The investiga- ton was prompted by public charges by Maxine Dempsey, divorced wife of the pugilist, that she had been com pelled to attest Dempsey's claims for exemption.
 Subsequently Mrs. Dempsey pre- sented an affidavit to Col Thomas in which she retracted the charges say ing they had been caused by pkaue against Dempsey. This affidavit fig ured in the grand jury inquiry. Mrs Dempsey, Frank Spellman, q repre- sentative oz q moving picture com pany and number of persons prom insnt in state sport circles and exc cutives of the draft board which ex- empted Dempsey appeared before the jury.
 Federal officials said they were ad- yised ethat Dempsey and Kearns would arrive here tomorrow from Los An Reles to surrender themselves.
 Dempsey was charged with having falsely sworn that his father, mother. widowed sister and the latter's two children were dependent on him, that he had contributed s2o a month each to their support from no other source.
 Dempsey's statement to the draft board that his wife had lived with him for eighteen months previous to his ap- pearance before the board, and that his parents and widowed sister had made their home with him for four years were false, according to the in- dictment.
 Say, dear If I ask you would you, if wanted you to, swear to an af fidavit that I was supporting you (see)," Dempsey wrote his wife, Max inc Dempsey, in August, 1917, the in- dictment asserted.

LAWS ID PUNISH
 RADICAL CITIZEN
 URGED BY PALMER
Revolutionary Groups Re- organizing to Escape Op-
 eration of Deportation Laws, Says Attorney
ay A..seI..ss rr...


 New York, February 27.-Strength- ening of the federal laws in order to punish the citizen for the offenses of which the penalty for the alien is de- rorta ation'. was recommended by Attor- rey General A. Mitchell Palmer in an address before the New York County Lawyers Association here tonight. "7'he condition, described as the ultra radical class war movement in the United States" he declared lis the greatest menace to the peace, safety and good order of the country.
 Already" he asserted. there are. evidences of reorganization of the rev. olutionary groups so as to escape the operation of the deportation statutes. Naturalized citizens who as individuals are immune under the present laws. are taking the lead, feeling safe by reason of the difficulty of the govern q ment's making case under the con- spiracy statute"
 The deficiencies of our present laws.' he said "are well illustrated by the fact that bomb thrnwers. who. with intent only to injure the government made murderous attacks upon the homes of government officials. com naitted no crime under the federa; statutes.
 "A man might walk down Pennsyl- vania avenue in Washington with a bomb In his hand, int rding and pub licly threatening to blow up both houses of Congress and be immune from prosecution under any general federal statute; and should he actually proceed to the capitol and actually .ex- plode bomb with that purpose and win the plaln intent of doing injury 10 the government, he would commit TO crime under federal laws. except possibly that of defacing or destroying government property. In most in . stances the local laws. either of inc District of Columbia orsof the various states, might be invoked Officers of the federal government charged with the duty of protecting the government plainly ought not to be required to depend upon local laws and local law enforcing officers to deal with situa ] .tions of this character"
 " Those who perhaps lack the phvs- ical courage to commit acts of violence t but incite others to do so should be held equally responsible. he argued with those who actually commit acts of violence.
 The chief evil of fred radicalism. . Attorney General Palaaer declared, lies in the fact that II win retard the peaceful and orderly settlement of re- construction problems. He expressed the opinion that it constitutes no real danger to the government itself al though it was no exaggera tion to say that sit has grown to such propor- tions that it has made itself a dis. turber Of the peace and of the order of the country to an alarming de. gree"
 Referring to the results of the coun- trywide raids on radicals. Attorney :. General Palmer asserted that "whal vonce seemed like a serious menace oI organized revolution has been success fully met He expressed the opinion 1 that most of the 1000 aliens arrested would be deported.

NO SURPRISE IN WASH|NGTONOVER
 PREM|ERS' OFFER
Note From Lloyd George and Millerand in Hands of President, Who Will
 Reply Shortly
By Associated pr...

Washington. February 27-The invita- ton of the British and French premiers to President Wilson to join them in a formal proposal to the Italian and Jugo- Slav governments to negotiate a new Adriatic settlement on the basis of the withdrawala of all previous agreements caused no surprise in official Washing ton.
 The note. which vas received today at the state department. is now before the President, and his reply is expected to be made within a few days. Meantime. officials are refraining from any discus sion of it or of the Presidents probable course.
 It was pointed out, however, that while adhering to the agreement of December 9, the President in his last reply to the prenliers had said that he would, of course, make no objection to settlement mutually agreeable to Italy and Jugo- Siavia provided that such an agreement is not made at the expense of the nationals of third power.
 If the premers' proposal is accepted by the President, Italy and Jugo-Slavia will have their first opportunity to under take a settlement between themselves Officials would not voice their opinions as to the probabilities of the success of such direct negotiations.
 There is such a wide divergence be- tween the territorial aspirations of the two countries, however, that it was re- sarded as almost certain that such nego- tiations. to be successful, would consume many months.

THINK DELAY ADVISABLE

In tha- view of some officials here the time required 10 reach an agreement would be ifnmaterial as compared With he lasting benefits to be derived from A satisfactory settlement. In fact, 1t is known that some high officials are of the opinion that delay might be advisable, as thev believe the natural operation of economic laws will serve to eliminate the troublesome problem resulting from IsAnnunzioss seizure of Fiume.
 What appeared to be at least semi oeficial. slinmary of the prenliers' note was received in press dispatches from II .ondon only a short time after the of ficial text had reached the state depart ment and before it had been laid before the President-A
 The state departnent already had taken up with London the question of making the n6le public here and it was assumed that if would be given out after the President had studied it. The other lex- changes were made public yesterday, but it developed during the day that the British government was planning to give t., the press along with the notes some communications the premiers had had after December with the Italian and Jugo-Slav governments which had not been sent to the American government. It was noted from the summary of the premiers note transmitted in the press dispatches that seat Britain and France had not agreed to the withdrawal of the treaty Of London, holding to it's terms as a last resort should all efforts at voluntary agreement fail.
 ia President Wilson has made it clear that while he cannot accept the treaty Of London as a basis for a settlement. ir fact, he has stated with degree of finality that the agreement of December 1 g eIabodies the limits to which the Amer ican government is willing to go, under 1 the premiers proposal no effort will be 1 made to carry out the terms >of this treaty until another attempt had been made by the United States, Great Brit ain and France to arrive at a settlement, i should the proposed nesotiat.ons between Italy.
