State of Washington
WAITING FOR DELAWARE

by Party Leaders

Olympia, Wash, March 22.-Ratif-
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
tion was completed by the Washing
ton Legislature today when the SEN
ate unanimously passed resolution
ratifying the amendment The reso-
tuition previously had been passed by
the House. Washington was the
thirtyfifth State to ratify.
Only one more State is now neces-
sary for ratification.
Dover, Del, March 22,-In the eff.
cacy of the national whips of the Re
publican and Democratic pa ties
seems TO rest the only chance for a
speedy and favorable consideration of
the measure to ratify the suffrage
amendment by the Delaware Legis a.
ture, which met and organized in ex-
traord nary session in Dover at noon
today.
Mouthpieees of the national leade s
were present at the opening of the AS
sembly and pleaded W tn the leaders
of both parties in the State to use
Their best efforts to procure the pas
sage of ratification on the grounds of
political expediency. Even the most
hardy student of the political baro-
meter refused to say just when suf-
frage would be considered and the
chances seemed that 1t would not
even have hea ing in either body be-
fore at least the ratification of the
school code and the repeal of the
Blair amendment had been acted up
on.
While caucuses of both parties had
been arranged for tonight the plan
was abandoned when the members de-
clared they would not meet until to-
morrow The postponement was more
easily arranged when seve. al frankly
that they would not be
bound by any party caucus, hut would
vote on the question as they saw fit.

Monday. Her wtlcome, however was
nevertheless hearty and spontaneous
and the store OF NJ LuIie G. &C.,
took the occasion OF her orrival to an

During the evening there was inau-
gurated general spring fashion show
with music by Hu ley's four piece or

of lattice work interviewer with pussy
willows and apple blossoms were
unique and effective In their simplici-

The spring opening celebration has
become an annual event at the local

doubtful if in previous yea s the dis

unusual than that of Monday. The

COMMISSIONER
PUT BENNINGTON
IN FRONT ON ROADS
Says Town Leads State in High
way Appropriations
ANNUAL MEETING TO-DAY
Town Commissioners and Selectmen
in Session to Discuss Highway
Construction Problems

State Highway Commissioner S. B.
Bates and State Engineer H. M. Nc
Intosh arrived in town Monday after
noon for the county road meeting to-
day.
Monday evening they were in con-
sulta ion with the board of selectmen
relative to the North Bennington road
and this morning Commissioner Bates
met Village Attorney Henry Chase in
connection with the village approp-
Ration for new street.
The Commissioner says that Ben
nington leads the parade this year in
the movement for better roads and
that The village appropriation is the
largest in the state and that the state
department will do all the rules per-
nit in cooperation wi h the town and
village of Bennington.
State Engineer Mcintosh viii come
to Bennington to survey the road to
North Bennington but thinks it not
safe TO make the survey until the
frost is out or nearly so as surface
levels shift as the frost goes out
The plan is to make survey and
provide specifica ions and then the
Eselectmen will advertise for bids. The
21 day test of gravel from North Ben
nington is not yet completed but will
be soon This gravel promises well
The village problem is more intri-
cate because of the greater engineer
ing problem involved in taking care
of surface water, pipes, sewers and
o her conduits TO be provided so that
no tearing up will be necessary.
This morning Commissioner Bates
and Engineer Mcintosh met the Coun-
ty road men and selectnlen of the
county in Hawks hall and another
meeting is in progress this afternoon.
There is large attendance and a
greater interest is shown than ever
before in improving roads. The cost
of labor is serious item since the
war and towns must expect TO pay
more than they did years ago.

MAIN BOUT ENDS
WITH ACCIDENT

Principal Feature of Boxing Ex-

PRELIMINARY A REAL GO
Soldier Gibbons Gave Good Exhibition
with Much Heavier Opponent, Lefty
Major Of North Adams

An accident soon after the opening
of the first round of the main bout of
the boxing exhibition held by the Ben
nington Athletic club at Union hall
last evening brought the entertain
ment to a disappointing end. The
participants were Hooks Saul of AL,
bany and Young Nelson of Adams
and the short time that the boxers
were in the ring proved that but for
the acc dent the spectators would have
seen some fast and active work.
Spectators differ concerning the de.
tails of the accident but II is probable
that the Albany boy came in contact
with his opponen is knee following a
clinch. Saul was taken to his corn
er and a physician was summoned. A
brief examination by the medical man
resulted in an announcement that
Saul was in no condition to cont nue.

was on the card for this bout but be-
cause of an injury suffered a few days
ago he was unable to fill the engage
ment. Pero's piace was taken by Lefty
Major of No III Adams, an eyparien,
ced boxer who has met some of the
best men in the country of his weight
Naturally, the Bennington boy yas out
classed but the spectators had no fault
to find with the quality of his work in
the ring
Kid Lang of Bennington and Young
Baker furnished the preliminary. The
Bennington boy showed his usual will
lingness to take the lead and had by
far the best of the bout. Baker was
clever enough to stay the six rounds
but when The gong rang for the last
time he plainly showed the effects of
the rapid pace maintained by his op-
ponent.
During the evening E. J. Cummings,
who officiated as third man in the ring.
introduced Clay Turner of Adams, who
he announced would appear at an ex-
hibition given by the Bennington
Athletic club here with Young Grady

by Tax Commissioner
State Tax Commissioner John M.
Avery and his assistant, George Tup-
per, arrived in town last evening for
the annual school of instruction for
listers which is being held this after
noon at the county court house.
The annual meeting of the county
highway commissioners and select
men is also being held in town today
and the two gatherings have brought
together a considerable number of
officials in the several towns of he
county who get together but once a
year. For this reason no attempt to
transact business was made at the
commissioners meeting this forenoon.
The men renewed acquaintances and
discussed their problems informally
and settled down to the actual work
this afternoon.
The meetings for listers during the
past few years have resulted in a more
general knowledge of the tax laws so
that the session at the court house
this afternoon is proceeding with less
difficulty than in years gone by.
