The likelihood OF another special con-
vention to consider another bishop was
discounted by many. The regulation con-
ventiop will be held in May at Emmanuel

is likely. The election can be held at the
regular CONVEX ton and that program,
most likely, will be followed.

CHANCE FOR SUFFRAGE BILL
TO PASS LEGISLATURE SLIM
ANTI FORCES LINE UP A SEEM
ING MAJORITY AGAINST BILL
Bill Reported Out of Committee on
Its Merits and Vote May be Taken
Late This Afternoon

There is much local interest in The
Suffrage bill before the Legislature
When the Legislature adjourned YES
terday afternoon the lineup against
granting women the ballot seemed as
lmmovable and unchanged as at any,
time since the Legislature was called
IN Special session. Great pressure bv
National and State leaders of both
political parties are being brought TO
bear. The bill has been reported out
OF the committee on its merits, and
there is every likelihood that a vote
will be taken on it in the House this
afternoon. Both sides are claiming
victory.
The second week of the extra ses-
sion of the Legislature finds both
houses busily engaged in their efforts
to dispose of the immense quantity
of work before them. When adjourn
ment was taken last night 81 bills
had been introduced in the House and
Sc in the Senate.
Taxation on real estate will be
hghtened in the event that the bill in
troduced by Representative Gregg.
The bill provides for the diverting of
S49O,O00 annually from the States
general funds to the school funds.
The bill is backed by the State
Board of Education. 1t was pointed
out that unless the bill was enacted
that that much money would have to
be raised by taxation. By passing
the measure the committee was told
it would enable the cutting of the tax
rate to as low as so cents and in
rural districts to A cents.
