ing the women the vote.
Gov. LoWden in a letter to Mr.
Brundage, pointed out that Cook
county and Chicago election officials
had announced their intentions of
supplying separate ballots to women
and asked if the same plan could not
be followed thruout the state without
invalidating the primary. Mr.. Brun-
dage agreed and withdrew his pre-
vi0us ruling.
In his reply Mr.. Brundage says the
plan suggested by the governor would
not be illegal, providing the wom-
ems ballots are counted separately,
so that, in case Of any contest later
the primary would not be rendered
invalid.
Secretary Of State Emmerson mme-
diately notified all county clerks by
telegraph to take the necessary steps
to provide for the women voters.
Governor Lowden felt that if the
Chicago women We're allowed to vote
and the doWnatate women were re-
fused the right OF the ballot 1t would
be an injustice to the women who
were disfranchised. He inquired of
Attorney General Brundage if it

vote without invaldating the cleo
ton Mr.. Brundage gave his consent

Habeas Corpus Proceedings

Especial to Washington HeraIdJ
Danville, Va, Sept. 17-Habeas
corpus proceedings were instituted
today for the possession Of Myrtle
Anderson. 4-year-old child of
Martha owen Anderson, whose ad-
missions yesterday resulted in the
swift close of the trial of her form
er husband, James Anderson. for
the killing of his brother. William.
The court had declined to let any
member of the Anderson family
have the child. and it will be adopt
ed by brother of Mrs. Anderson.
This decfsiok was reached after
the city sergeant had told the judge
that Mrs Anderson had warned him
she would kill John Anderson, who
she admitted was the child's father
and the third brother in the case,
and herself before submitting to his
custodianship of Myrtle.
Another development today was
the handing over Of batch OF let
ters signed by John Anderson writ
ten from Chester. Pa, to Mrs. An
derson in 1917. which the authorities
believe are sufficient to warrant
proceedings under the Mann act
against John Anderson.

Labor Department Officials
Optimistic on H. c. |.
And Coal Strike.

The peak Of high prices was
reached about the middIr of last
July, and since that time the cost Of
most staple commodities has decIin-
ed steadily. according to officials Of
the Department of Labor yesterday.
Important among the reductions
were those in the wholesale and re-
tail prices Of -four. sugar. meat. and
clothing which average approx
mately per cent.
1t was confidently predicted that
during the coming six months prices
will fall to lower levels than have
been known since early in the war.
The clothing business especially is
said to be "tsetering on its toes"
Hugh Herwin, conciliator of the
Department Of Labor. stated ytstcr-
day that the anthracite strike is
practically a closed issue. Most Of
the miners have returned to work.
he says. and the rest cannot remain
out much longer. While a tenn
porary shortage Of anthracite coal
is expected to result, tho price, it
was stated, will not be seriously af-
fected. and lit is hoped that the
shortage will be made good before
winter sets in.

The only way TO retain efficient
