Girl Filler Eager
To Set Altitude
Record for Women
Miss Laura Bromwell, Who
Is Credited With 81 Loops
on Sunday, Wants Also
10 Fly Across Continent

Il am going to try to establish a
new worlds altitude record for women.
and l also hope to be the first woman
to fly across the continent.'
These are the two ambitions of Miss
Laura Bromwell, the twenty-year-old
fier from Cincinnati, who made eighty
seven consecutive loops" at an alti-
tude Of s,ooc feet on Sunday and there
by established q worlds record.
Miss Bromwell was still somewhat
petulant over the decision of her
judges yesterday. q am positive that
| made considerably more than a hun
dreG.' she told tribune reporter, "but
the clouds hid NE most of the time
am not satisfied ana I intend to beat
that record on the first clear day
If I can get machine next Sun
day, intend 10 make the attempt for
a new altitude record. There is an
Or!ole biplane at the Curtiss Field.
Mineola, that IS equipped with 400
horsepower motor, and I am confident
that I could reach $4,000 feet with
this
u am going to fly in the police games
Saturday. | would like very much to
land q machine on Seventh Avenue at
Fifty-ninth Street but they won't give
me permission. Ii is an awfully nice
place there to land, and it would be
great fun. | am sure ! mi ght be given
permission. All that it needs is some
policemen TO keep the street clear while
I land.
you know the altitude record for
women is 1900 feet, but that was
made in France by a woman who went
as passenger with a man pilot. l am
confident l can beat this, and l will
pilot the machine myself
II intend to fly across the continent
IN about three hops, but l viii wait
until get the right kind of machine"

Tor neglect of duty because Of the
death of Carranza Many refugees
now in the United States, who are CON
sldered deserters, also are being cut
on the army lists. The discharge of
these officers has not affected trials
now pending, since the officers are
nable for offenses committed while in
service, though discharged

pose being to eliminate a great num-
Der OF unofficial employees attached to
legations and consulates, who are con-
sidered not necessary to the good of
the service and constitute a heavy
drain on the Federal Treasury, when
least able to bear it, The revision is
not expected to affect heads of the
present diplomatic missions, with a
few exceptions. 1t is officially an
nounced that the appropriation of a
secret fund for the Department of
Foreign Relations has been omitted
from the next budget and all expenses
will demand vouchers. This secret fund
was considerable during the Carranza
regime and many complaints arose
that the funds had been employed i'm
properly.
Indications to-day were that in the
preliminary sessions of Congress, the
Deputies would be able to gather a
bare quorum and the Senate would be
unable to get a quorum. The first
measure to be considered will be the
budget, which is nearly ready for sub

.RATTFTES SUFFRAGE
AFTER A WRANGLE
SENATOR BLOCH DECIDES THE ISSUE
in WEST VIRGINIA AFTER A FAST
TRIP ACROSS CONTINENT.
FINAL VOTE WAS Is TO IA
EACH STEP WAS CONTESTED AS DIS
PUTE RACES FOR HOURS; VIC
TORY NOW CERTAIN.

The West Virginia Legislature rati-
fed the Federal Suffrage amendment
late Wednesday afternoon. Final ac-
ton on the amendment was taken by
the Senate in adopting the ratification
resolution of the House of Delegates
by vote Of Is to IA.
The vote of Senator Jesse A. Bloch,
of Wheeling, who made a hurried trip
from California to Charlestown to
vote on the amendment, was effectual
in breaking the deadlock between pro
and anti-suffrage forces. Senator A.
r. Montgomery was not permitted to
vote, his seat having been declared
vacant.
The final vote on the Anthony
amendment was taken at els o'clock,
after one of the most dramatic sess-
ions ever witnessed in either house of
the Legislature. For several hours
suffrage leaders and their opponents
fought inan effort to gain a definite
advantage. Each step by either side
was hotly tested-anti-suffrag
forces determined to Offset their Op-
ponents' victories in keeping the Leg
islature in session and the suffragists
confident Of gaining a majority to rati-
fy by the vote of Senator Bloch.
At first, occupants of the gallery
took more interest in the Wheeling
Senator. Soon, however, interest
was diverted to issues featuring the
contest. These included the action
of the Senate in declaring vacant the
seat of Senator A. r. Montgomery,
depriving him Of the vote which
would have defeated ratification and
the taking up and adopting of the
ratification resolution Of the lower
house, without amendment to the
Senate's vote defeating it own reso-
luton on the same subject.
