THE NEW LEVEE PLAN.

There Is another levee proposition TO
be placed before Chattanooga by the
chamber of commerce today; II is q

FAGELSON BOUND OVER

In oity court Wednesday morning
George Fagelson, proprietor OF the
Shoe Renury on Georgia avenue. was
held to the grand jury. under $500 bono
of charge OF obtaining money under
false pretense. The case grew out OF
charges made for repairing some shoes
for John Ain. well known mine opera

was charged for fixing a pair of shoes.
Mr.. Hin deemed the charge excessive
and reported the matter to the police
and Judge Martin Sleming, producing
the shoes to show what was done on
them. Fagelson protested that the
charge was reasonable and detailed
what he did to the shoes.

WOMEN LEGISLATORS.

The feminine point OF view will not
be very slow in making itself felt in
national and state legislation. There
was only one woman chosen to con-
sress IN the recent election. though
there were numerous candidates for
seats In both houses. The next cleo
tion 10 certain 10 show a larger number
returned. In the matter OF state legis-
lators. the women made n somewhat
better showing In the election this
year. There are fifteen states which
chose one or more women TO their
legislatures. Connecticut, the state
foation for 30 long. heading the list
with ave. Twenty-nine women repre-
sentatives in all were elected.
States which chose one or more
women TO their legislatures, in alpha
beticai order, are California. Connecti-
out. Idaho. Indiana, Kansas, Michigan,
Montana, Nevada. New Hampshire,
Oregon, Utah and Vermont, In the
iast-named state. It will also be re-
rnembered. the governor was one OF
the bitter-enders against suffrage.
while the number elected 10 not large,
comparatively. It 10 much above the
record Of a previous year. being about
half ms large as the number previously
elected for such service altogether.
More would unquestionably have been
elected had tho ratification Of suffrage
occurred earlier.
Besides tho women elected for legis-
lative duties, quite n goodly number
were chosen for minor civil stations
Those. therefore. who felt that suffrage
would leave ruin In itH wake will soon
have an opportunity of learning how
well grounded were their fears. Al
stated sn the outset, there will be q
larger concession TO the woman'H view
point. There win be more women
elected TO once. But we do not be-

Action Probiematloal
What the action of the senate will
be upon Mr.. Wilson's nominations
opinion differs. Many are OF the opin'
ion that they will receive the same
treatment accorded the peace treaty
Others think that the increasing In
clination Of both republicans and dem
ocrats toward removing the postofflct
department entirely from the zone Of
politics may lead to the confirmation
Of all nominations for postmasterships
made by Mr.. Wilson.
Some express the belief that nomi-
nations made for Tennessee win b.

ers, because of the fact that Senator
Shields enjoys wide influence with the
republicans as a result OF his attitude
on the peace treaty.
