The defeat OF the poll tax for women
bill before the Tennessee legislature was
as much the work OF suffrage members
as OF antisuffragists," according to
Charles Lynn, Hamilton county's rep
resentative, n determined suffrage advo-
cate. THE bill had so many provisions
in II which would render II a hardship
on the women living in the country dis
tricts that We felt that 1t should not
be passed." he continued.
For instance, every woman had to
come to the trustees Office and be as
sessed and pay her poll tax thirty days
before the election-that Is, this year
by Oct. q: 1t only imposed poll tax
on the women who wished to vote; no
penalty on those who did not care to
exercise that right. A great many of
the antisuffragists thought 1t was not
fair to impose a poll tax on the women
so short a time before the election, and
that it was a matter that could be
thoroughly gone into at the regular ses-
sion in January, 1921.
Several members who voted for the
suffrage amendment voted against the
pol, tax law. 1t was the consensus OF
opinion that women would be allowed
to vote without the payment OF a poll
tax at this coming election, as you
could not collect a poll tax until after
II had been assessed against the women,
and as 1t would only allow month for
them to be assessed and pay their poll
tax for the November election, the mat
ter was passed up.
No Punishment.
THE defeat of the poll tax bill was
by no means punishment to the SUI
fiaEists by the ants.
I'm fact, none OF the votes on any OF
the bills In the closing hours OF the leg
islature was Influenced by suffrage
feud. For instance. on the personally
tax bill, Representatives Bratton and
Sharp, two of the strongest ants OF
the Davidson delegation. fought the bill
the hardest, but on the other side the
solid Shelby delegation, all suffraglsts,
were also strongly opposed to this bill.
and the measure was defeated by the
vote of the four big counties
In the state. There was no punishment
Of Roberts suffrage advocacy In the de-
feat OF his tax measure.
"All OF us who voted against this bill
did so believing that It should be de-
fcated on its merits. There was gen.
sral breaking up OF suffrage and anti
suffrage alignments in the house in con-
sideration of the election Of "a member

81 Insane Ordered Into
Court at Same Time
Justice Ciegerich Puzzled as to
How to Hear Blanket Habeas
Corpus Cases

Justice Giegerich, Of the Supreme
Court, faced a perplexing and unprec-
edented situation yesterday, when called
upon to arrange for the hearing in court
of eighty-one habeas corpus proceed
ings in which a blanket writ has been
issued for patients in the Manhattan
State Hospital on Wards Island. The
writ for the patients was sworn out by
Louis Cohen, an attorney who was re-
Gently adjudged sane and released from
the hospital.
Cohen said nat during his confne
ment he learned Of many persons being
detained who were not insane and he
promised to obtain writs for them as
soon as he was released hims Mr..
Cohen has kept this promise, much to
the CONSERVATION Of the court.
"Of course" said Justice Giegerich,
'it would not be practicable to have all
Of the persons named in this writ, or
those of them who are still inmates,
brought here at one and the same
time"
Mr.. Cohen suggested an application
to the Appellate Division for the ap-
pointment of justice to hold a special
term of the court on Wards Island to
hear the cases. Justice Giegerich re-
piled, Il think this court is able to at
tend to such business as may be
brought before it,
The eighty-one cases are returnable

tracts for -four exist, they testified,
but the consignees refuse TO accept
shipments, buying flour elsewhere at
lower contract prices, based on the

tion.

SYRACUSE, Nov. 15.-There is little
chance that Assemblyman Joseph A..

abandon his claims to the Speakership
nnd be content with the Craftsmanship
OF the Ways and Means Committee, as
proposed at the conference of candi-

Assemblyman II. Edmund Machold, Of
Jefferson County. likewise refuses to
stend aside, and is in fact the choice
Of the leaders for the place. This
means that unless McGinnies is side
tracked a factional battle will be
waged. To avert this, another confer

made to pacify the Chautauqua County
