(By Associated Press)

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept 1.-That
money lenders have apparently gained
great hold on large number of

special loan of about $25,000,00O. part
of which is to be devoted in liquidating
such debts. The bill provides that the
treasury shall reimburse itself for the

SUFFRAGE SITUATION
IS ALL TANGLED UP;
Tenn. TAKES IT BACK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-Action OF
the lower house Of the Tennessee
legislature yesterday in voting non,
concurrence In the ratification OF the
woman's suffrage amendment Is held
by state department officials as Gre
ating legal tangle with which the
state department had nothing to do at
this time.
Officials said they contemplated no
action whatever on their own voli-
ton. They would not disclose legal
phases OF the question. Meanwhile
the application filed In the District of
Columbia supreme court at the in
stance of the national Constitutional
league, seeking to restrain Secretary
Colby from proclaiming ratification
today on motion of the applicant.
This suit was filed after the Tenne-
ssee lower house had voted for rati-
fication. Counsel for the league, AL
fred Smith. said the previous similar
action filed before the Tennessee
house voted. and which is pending on
appeal before the court OF appeals
here, raised the points necessary.
Refer II to Highest Court
The appellate court would be asked,
he said, to refer the action to the
supreme court of the United States in
order that final decision would be had
with as little delay as possible upon
the status of the federal suffrage
amendment.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. Con
flicting views were held today by lead
ers in the Tennessee legislature as to
the probable effect of the house action
yesterday in expunging from its Jour-
nal all record Of ratification Of the
federal suffrage amendment and vot-
ing not to concur with the senate in
ratifying the amendment.
A number of the members of the@
legislature and state officials exE
pressed the opinion that legality OF
Tennessee's ratification would be de-
cided not on the action taken by the
house yesterday but on the record
certified by Governor Roberts to
washington.
Governor Roberts declined to COM
ment on the situation, while States
Attorney General Thompson expressed
the belief that reconsideration of the
ratification resolution was impossible,
since it had been adopted by both
the house and senate and their action
! already had been certified to Secre-
tary Of State Colby.
Ants Are Silent
Anti-suffragists refused to say
whether an attempt would be made to
have the senate reconsider its rati-
fication vote also.
After voting to expunge record OF
ratification from the journal. the
house voted Al to "a to non-concur
| with the senate's action in approving
| the amendment Twenty house mem
: bers did not vote.

Notwithstanding the fact that pro-
duction in April dropped to less than
fifty per cent of normal, because OF
the strike, Ford officials say that for
the fiscal year, which ends July 31st,
they will have attained the million
mark of production.
During the strike, material was
brought in by trucks, boats, electric
freight and every other possible way,
but it served mainly to keep Ford
men at work. rather than to main
tain any semblance of the regular
output. Assembled cars were ship
ped by water where possible, but
most of them were driven from De-

Ford trucks loaded each with Ford
