City Postmaster Chance today coun-

Commissioners:
DO I correctly understand that the
Commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia take the position that the Ball
rent law is unconstitutional and that
mission are void?'
Thus is reopened the controversy
which ragged last winter as to the oc-
cupancy of the Eagle Hut by the city
post Office, and which was thought
settled when the District rent COM
mission ordered the Commissioners to
desist from their attempts to evict the
postal station.
Postmaster Chance, by firing his
single question at the Commissioners
today, hopes to get their own opinions
as to the validity of the decisions of
the rent commission, and to make

FRAUD IN WEST VIRGINIA
RATIFICATION CHARGED
District Supreme Court Also Told
Tennessee Legislature Has
No Authority.

Proceedings to declare unconstitu-

and to enjoin cambridge Colby, Secre-
nation declaring the amendment rati-
fed were instituted today in the Dis
trict Supreme Court by Charles s.
Fairchil1d of New York, president of
the American Constitutional League
and former Secretary of the Treasury
in the cabinet of President Cleveland.
Mr.. Fairchild also seeks to prevent
Attorney General Palmer from enforc-
ing the amendment.
RatifcatiOns Called Illegal.
The basis of the proceeding is the
claim that the ratification of the
amendment by the legislature of the
state of West Virginia was illegal, and
that the Tennessee legislature has no
authority to ratify. Fraud is alleged
in the West Virginia case and lack of
authority to ratify in the Tennessee
legislature.
Justice Bailey issued a rule on Sec
retary Colby and Attorney General
Palmer to show cause July 13 why
the injunction should not be granted.
Election OF Senator Up.
The court is told that Senator Mont
gomery. an opponent of suffrage, was
expelled from the West Virginia sem
ate by a bare majority, when the laws
of the state required two-thirds
vote to eject member of the legisla-
ture. Senator Dodson was allowed to
vote, when, it is claimed. he had lost
his right by removing from the coun-
ty from which he had been elected.
Heavy additional burden will be
placed on the taxpayers of at least
seven states. it is pointed out, where
women do not vote In these states
the number of votes will be nearly
doubled, it is claimed, and will make
the expense of elections about twice
as at present.
His Duty. Colby Holds.
Secretary Colby has declared. it Is
stated, that he is without authority
to inquire into the validity Of any
acts of ratification purporting to have
been adopted by the several states.
and on receipt of the necessary num-
ber of ratifications will have only the
duty of proclaiming the adoption
For this reason application as made
to the court to test the validity OF
the ratifications in advance of the
receipt of the necessary number by
Secretary Colby.
One More State Needed.
Only thirty-five states have rati-
fed the amendment, and as ratifica-
tion by one other is necessary. the
attack on the amendment through the
courts at this time came as a sur
prise in suffrage circles here. An at
tack on the legality of the action of
the Tennessee legislature had been
expected, but not until the legislature
actually had acted.
In anticipation of such a move by
the anti-suffrage forces, the organiza-
tions supporting the amendment nave
urged early action by more than
thirty-six states, so that the amend
ment could become operative in time
to hermit the women to vote in the
presidential election this year.
