asking that Bainbridge Colby, secre-

any proclamation declaring the suff-
rage amendment ratified were insti-
tuted in the District Of Columbia su-
preme court today by Charles F! Fair
child. of New York, president OF the

Mr.. Fairchild also seeks to prevent
Attorney General Palmer from enforc-
ing the amendment. Justice Bailey
issued a rule on Secretary Colby
and the Attorney General to show
cause July 13 why the motion should
not be granted.
Basis Of Proceedings
The basis of the proceedings is the
claim that the ratification OF the
amendment by the West Virginia leg
islature was illegal because accom-
plished by fraud and that the proposed
ratification by the Tennessee legisla-
ture also would be illegal on the
ground that the legislature lacked
authority under the states constitu-
ton to act on the measure.
Only 35 states have ratified the
amendment and as ratification by one
other is necessary the attack on the
amendment through this courts at this
time came in surprise in suffrage cir
cleS here. t.
