 WOMEN GET VOTE
West Virginia Senator, Ab' sent, Going Back in
 Hurry

 The state senate is deadlocked on ratification. Senator Bloch. who had been in California, is known to be for ratification, if he reaches Charleston by Wednesday, suffrage leaders believe West Virginia will ratify the amendment.
 Senator Bloch is due in Chicago tomorrow morning, In figuring train connections it was found that the senator must be in Cincinnati by o'clock tomorrow night to catch a train that would take him to Charleston in time to cast his vote. Only special train or an airplane would make the connection.
 Will II. Hays, republican national chairman, made arrangements for an airplane and if Senator Bloch refuses to make the four-hour dash in the air he will be taken to Cincinnati by special train.

DIVIDENDS 20 NOT CONSTITUTE: INCOME,

 Taxes. Says 5-l UeciS- ion
PROVISIONS OF 1916 LAW IlNCONSTITUTTONA AL
Dissenting Opinion Characterizes Ma jority View as Marrow and Bizarre; Charges it Will
 Encourage Dodgers

Washington, March S.--Corporation dividends distributed in the form of stock do not constitute "income'' and consequently are not subject to federal income taxes, the supreme court decided today in q 5 to 1 de- cision.
 Provisions of the 1916 federal in- come tax law levying taxes on stock dividends were declared unconstitu- tcnal. The decision also nullified similar provisions of the present law and will involve great loss in rev enues to the government in future collections and also refunds of such taxes already collected Large fi- nancial interests likewise will be af- fected and numerous stock dividends of generous proportions are expected to be declared soon.
 In the majority decision, read by Justice Pitney, Chief Justice White and Justices McKena, Nandevanter and McReynolds concurred. Of the four dissenting members of the court Justice Holmes read brief opinion in which he was joined by Justice Day and Justice Brandeis delivered lengthy opinion in which Justice Clark concurred, characteriZing the majority view as marrow and bizar- re" and saying it would permit many corporations to escape taxation on a large portion of what is actually their income.

SENATOR'S STILL FOR COMPROMISE DESPITE STAND 0F WILSON
Efforts to Get Together On Article Ten Con-
 tinue
FOUR RESERV ATIONS k ARE FINALLY PASSED
Presidents Newest Declaration Has Helped Insure Defeat of Pact, Declares Senator Rorah----
 Way May Yet be Open

Washington, March S.--Limiting debate by unanimous consent the senate moved swiftly today to reduce it's fight over the peace treaty to basic issues.
 Four more of the republican res ervations were re-adopted, two of them without change, while negotia- tions for q compromise on the key stone problem of Article X were pressed toward conclusion, appar- ently unaffected by the renewed dec laration of President Wilson against any material weakening of the trcaty's provision.
 The presidents letter. coming at a time when the Article X negotiations were declared by one of their spon- sors to have brought the two sides "very near together" was given widely differing interpretations. But the democratic senators working fol 8 compromise continued their efforts telling their colleagues they felt free to act since the executive had not seen fit to say he would pocket the treaty, if it came back to him with compromise reservations.
 in the days work on the senate floor the last of the IA republicans reservations except those relating to Article X and league voting power were swept out of the way and de- bate on the voting power provision was begun. The four adopted re- lated to armaments, the economic boycott, alien property and the labor session. the latter being brought to roll call without debate.
 The letter from President Wilson did not reach senators until late in the day, and few cared to make pub lie comment. Senator Hitchcock de- scribed it as "illuminating' Senator Lodge declined to discuss it. and Sen atCr Borah, republican, Idaho, lead er of the irreconcilable opponents ot ratification, said the president had helped insure the treaty defeat by throwing cold water on compromise
 Democratic senators were quick to see, however, that the president did not advise them to vote against rati- fication as he did last November, nol promise to- put the treaty in a white house pigeon hole, if it were ratified with more than interpreta- tive reservation. In that respect they ,contrasted it with his letter to the November democratic caucus, when he suggested that the treaty with the republican reservations be voted down.
 It also was pointed out on the democratic side that MT. Wilson did not center his OhiectiOn on any spe. cific form of reservation and from this hope was revived in some quar- ters that he would take under pro- test such a compromise as now is under negotiations.

Stocks DemOralized.

New York, March. 8.--Wall street was thrown into state of demorali- zation today and many hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost and won within few minutes when news agencies which serve the financial district misstated the decision of the United States supreme court in the stock tax case and declared that stock dividends were taxable.
 The service of the Associated Press was accurate in every partic- ular. After it's reports reached the street, stocks which had broken two to 10 points under an avalanche ot selling orders, steadied and began to climb. For the balance of the ses. sion prices continued to strengthen final quotations for leading shares making substantial gains.
 During the violent declines which followed the misleading report frightened traders sold almost re. gardless of value. The hundreds oi thousands of dollars forfeited by them were captured on the rebound by others who had refused to sel on the strength of the first and false reports, or who were in ignorance of what was happening.
 General Motors was the star per. former, gaining 15 points before noon, reacting II points on receipt of the erroneous report and ther rising briskly to 301, a net gain oi AZ IA points.
 It is rumored in the street that many corporations whose dividend policy had remained in abeyanct pending the tax ruling will now pro ceed to distribute profits gained during, the last few years among stockholders.
 ' In the case of high priced stocks this is likely to take the form of z splitting up of shares with rights accompanying the recapitalization. ! In other instances it is probable that increased or extra dividends vii be declared.
