May Decide Suffrage Tonight
While anti prohibition Legislation
may not be put through this week the
chances are very favorable for fnaI
determination of the suffrage question
either tonight or tomorrow. The anti
sutfragists count on twenty niue votes
against ratification in the House. which
of course, are not enough votes to beat
it. But they are working hard for one
more vote. which would tie the ISSUE
and prevent ratification by New Jersey
There are sixty members in the House
New Jerseys failure to ratify might
defer the whole proposition for another
year taking it past the next November
election. or it might kill it entirely. as
the suffragists, it is declared need this
state on their side to win, so close does
the matter now stand.
The Essex men are working hard uu-
der Nugcnt'S leadership to beat ratti-
cation. They have every hope of doing
SO. although the suifragists declare they
have thirty three pledged House votes.
Yet if three of this line up are absent
when the vote is taken and the ants
get another vote, ratification will be
beaten by n tic, and there are some who
declare. therefore, that the ratification
resolution is going to get 'thc absent

New York. Sept. 27.-Miss Edith
Cold of West New Brighton, S. l.. N.
Y, tells in a letter to the Near East
Relief the story of how she carried
the white flag between fighting Turks
and Armenians atlHadjin in an effort
to save Armenian orphans under her
care.
Miss Colds letter came from Talas.

by her co-worker, Miss Alice Clark Of
Evanston, Ill. Another American re-
lief worker at HAHN mentioned BY
Miss Cold is Mary Super of Mar

"The Chetes turkish tribesmen)
descended on the compound on the
outskirts of Hadjin on April S." Miss
Cold wrote. 1.-The compound where
the American flag was flying and
where no hot was fired became the
object of a fierce attack.
After that for ten weeks we lived
as the guests of the Chetes. It was
not life. however, but a sojourn in the
valley Of the shadow of DEATH. We
worked ceaselessly at. the task Of
making friends with those, encamped
about our, walls. We served them in
every conceivable way, especially Miss
Super with medical aid. Two lads
died from fright and three were
WOunueQ.
THE Turks had their defenses
close to the compound between us
and the city and occupied the clinic
building outside the gate and always
fired from it,, The compound was al
ways under fire from Hadjin. Hardly
a day passed that we did not have
callers from among the leaders of the
| Chetes.
Twice Mr.. Eby and 7 had permits
sion from them to go to Hadjin. Each
time they proclaimed an armistice and
we carried the white flag. The frs
time was at the end Of three weeks OF
xiege- and the other. five, weeks later
lrThe first time we simply stated the
conditions for surrender given by the
commander, Doghan Bey. The com
mittee in Hadjin fatty refused tt

The second time we sought t.
bring about a conference between thu
opposing forces. We went back ant
forth seven times, stating Doghar

Ccrn-Buying of grains was en-
couraged by further damaging re-
ports TO wheat from the southwest.
Late advices, however, indicated
that considerable rain had fallen in
Oklahoma and Kansas, and indicated
further relief. There was a good
deal of selling of corn on the news
paper stories, but early offerings
were well absorbed and the active
deliveries advanced about cents
from inside prices. Cash corn was
wanted, but the demand was not suf-
fcient TO cause much Of an advance.
Confidence has been somewhat shak-
en- by the recent irregularity in the
market, and it hardly seems proba-
Bile that buying support will be suf-
fcient to sustain sharp bulges. +
Oats-Were stronger than corn
thruout most Of the session, and
closing prices were at the highest
level Of the day. While the situa-
ton is bullish, the price is very high
and does not warrant investment
purchases.
Provisions were more active AMI
prices ranged lower on scattered Id
uIdation.
