somewhat varied last night. and while
the subject Of boxing gloves came TO
the front, no one seemed Inclined 20
nut them on. c0nlcnting themselves
with The suggestion that the gloves
were useful articles only at times.
The FIRST ripple IN the proceedings
came when Councilman Kane. after
the reading OF a report OF q Slate COM
millee named TO investigate eXpcndi-
lures by hospitals and Institutions

declared that "the less City Council
has to do with State Institutions the
better on we will be-" He was in

that the rcadingof the communication
did not commit Council 10 any action
in the matter, aud that the committee
had authority TO 60 ahead with It's
work regardless Of what CITY Council

The closing OF the session was
marked by a verbal passage between

MOVIE ACTORS RETURNING TO
 "LECIT' STAGE

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Even before the echo of stage producers walls over the movies wholesale anneXa- ton of footlight stars has had time to die down, film magnates have be- gun to raise a similar song of woe. The stage, it seems, is denuding the screen of it's important ornaments. It may be reprisal. Then again it may be mere coincidence, but at any rate an alarming number of flickerites are staging a comeback in ither words, coming back to the stage. Elsie Ferguson, Alice Brady, Doris Kenyon, Theda Bara, Bushman and Bayne, Waffle Reed and a host of lesser lights are now taking off from the wings instead of a film can while many others are contemplating similar excursions.
 | Henry B. Walthall is the latest Cooper-Hewitt luminary to revert to the legitimate form of drama. His last screen appearance was in Har- old MacGrath's adventure "A Splen. did @Hazard." produced by Allan Dwan and presented by Mayflower He is now tuning up his vocal cords for a season of Ibsenian plays, and
 
 will soon stalk the boards of Los Angeles theater in "Ghosts."
 According to WUlthall, the present exodus of players from films to footlights is due in a large measure 60 the rivalry between film magnates and stage producers who are bid ding against each other for the services of well-known players. As result of this stage salaries have gone sky-rOCketing and many actors who were attracted to pictures by large pay envelopes now find that it is equally remunerative to return 70 ~their first love.
 lH'n' tOp' lhe HlaJorltE ol prayer folk claim there is greater satisfac. ton in appearing in spoken drama th2n in the silent sort. The legiti. mate actor playing in films always misses the applause of his audience ard it is the yearning for this, along with the fattened pay envelope, that is turing him back Also there is offered an opportunity to diversified activity, thus relieving the monotony

KOUGAROK RAILROAD > MAY BE DISPOSED OF
 AID RAILS REM0VEI}
RumOrs in Nome That Federal Government May Take
 Over Road

NOME, Oct. 25.-Jafet Lindeberg head of the Pioneer Mining Company and present owner of the Nome Kougarok railroad line, is seriously considering selling a major portion of the rails, leaving only few miles of track in the immediate vicinity of Nome.
 Mr Lindeberg said he had re- ceived offers to purchase the rails and is seriously considering a pro- posal to sell them with the possible exception of a few miles out of Nome. Tn the event of sale the rails will be removed.
 Asked regarding recent rumors in- timating possible purchase by the federal or territorial governments, he replied that he had heard sug- gestions of such character. The ru- more referred to have been prevalent for some weeks. One is to the effect that efforts are to be made to induce the federal government to take over the road and the other suggested that the territory may be induced to purchase the road out of the territorial road funds.
 Mir, Lindeberg said he is willing to consider favorably any reasonable 1 t1,~ S,, territorial authorities The entire road could be purchased, he said, not only for a small fraction of it's original cost but also for consider ably less than the amount required to build a wagon road as far as the line extends into the Kougarok.

Passes Bill Fixing
Qualifications of
Women to Vote

BY vote OF 81 TO Is the house
of delegates yesterday afternoon
passed. the bill extending the right of
suffrage to women, in the event the
Anthony amendment to the federal
constitution is adopted, The bill has
already passed the senate.
The payment of a capitation tax
by women similar to that required
of male voters is made Al prerequisite
to the exercise of the franchise I'M
der the provisions OF the bill, which
fixes the qualifications OF women en-
titled to vote for members OF the
general assembly, and all officers
elective by the people. and the man
ner in which they may register and
vote.
Members of the house of delegates
had apparently reached the conclu2
sion that the Anthony amendment Ia
assured OF adoption. and that 1t vas
the better part of wisdom to provide
for the exercise of the franchise by
the women of Virginia. II the gem
eral assembly did not provide meth
Cd for women to Vote. Delegate Glib
son. of Culpeper, explained, it was
within the province of the federal
government to provide the machin-
cry to that end, which might prove
very embarrassing to the dignity and
welfare of the state.
The debate on the passage of the
bill was brief. Delegate Ozli,. OF
Lunenburg. explained the provisions
of the measure. and stated that 1t
would become operative only in the
event the Anthony amendment was
adopted. Delegate Hunter, OF Prince
George. a pronounced woman sur
frage advocate. hoped that the 10th
mendment would be adopted, and
women would be given the rights
ITO which they were entitled. = 2
Delegate McNutt, of Rock bridge
opposed the passage Of the bill, de-
claE,ing its provisions to be unconsti-
tutional. and that it would seriously
affect the validity of the ELECTORAL
vote of Virginia to be cast next year.
He was advised that the attorney
general of Virginia had pronounced
the bill in accord with the provisions
Ipf the constitution of the state, but
insisted that in his opinion. whether
the bill passed or not, it would re-
main Head letter.
The bill now goes to the governor
for signature.

last night.
Many expected to witness political

met for the first time during the CAM
paign but they were disappointed, for
these two leaders conducted them
selve decorously and with the ncate6f
sort OF brevity.
Commissioner Hirschherg was ac-
corded the noisiest welcome, but this
was due in the main to the fact that
those OF his following present were
husky young men with ringing voices,
while the other portion of the
crowd, the elderly men and those
given more TO thought rather than to
hurrah, gave Mayor Ainslie a more
dignified although rousing sendoff-
