Suffrage Fight in Tennessee

Nashville. Tenn.-From the snarl OF
legal and legislative technicalities that
have enmeshed Tennessee's ratifica-
tion of the suffrage amendment came
the prediction Of the Tennessee con-
stitutional league that the injunction
against certification of the ratification:
obtained Saturday, would prevent en-
franchisement of American women
for at least year and half.
Suffrage advocates reiterated their
contention that the action of the house
in defeating the Walker reconsidera-
ton motion and in ordering the senate
joint resolution of ratification trans
mitted to the senate for engrossing
to be unassailable, despite lack Of
quorum.
Frank NJ. Thompson, attorney gen.
eral of Tennessee, announced that
Governor A. H, Roberts at 1880
O'Clock Tuesday morning certified Ten
nessee's ratification of the suffrage
amendment, sending the certification
to Secretary of State Colby by mail.
Chief Justice Lansden OF the state
supreme court agreed to review pro-
ceedings in the chancery court, which
issued temporary injunction prevent
ing certification to Washington by the
legislature OF the federal suffrage
amendment.
The announcement of certification
was made after Chief Justice Lans-
den, on petition of the attorney gen.
eral, had granted writ Of certiorari
and supersedes. virtually taking pro-
ceedings in the injunction case
brought to prevent certification out
Of the hands of Judge Langford in the
county chancery court.
Judge Lansden ordered all records
in the case before the supreme court
for review.

95,OOO BOLSHEVIKI
CAPTURED BY POLES
Many Guns, Thousands OF
Rifles and Horses Taken
in COunter-Attack.

waFsaw.-Military authorities an
nounced that the Poles captured S5r
900 prisoners in their counter attack
against the bolshevikI. Many guns,
thousands OF rifles. hundreds OF Ina'
chine guns and motor cars and great
numbers Of horses also were taken.
Thousands OF Russians are thought TO
be cut off in the forest awaiting an
opportunity TO surrender
Among the 300 bolshevik soldiers
killed in the fighting at Mlawa we're
found, II Is claimed, a German OFFICER,
and several German soldiers.
The bolshevik armies northwest OF
Warsaw, between the Vistula and
Prussia. are sending wireless appeals
for help. The intercepted messages
repeatedly have asked bolshevik head
quarters for ammunition and supplies.
The capture OF Prsasnysz, sixty
miles north Of Warsaw. and Mlava, on
the Polish frontier, seyenty-five miles
northwest Of the capital. is reported
in the Polish official statement Issued
last night. The bulk Of the fourth
soviet army and the entire third cav
airy corps have been surrounded by
the Poles. the statement says.
The Russian bolshevik forces were
reacting virtually along the whole line
in an effort to save the remnants OF
the red army, but they had been easily
frustrated by the Poles. On the north
there was heavy fighting in the region
OF Mlawa and Soldau.
Forced to face two Polish armies,
one advancing from Modlin and the
other from Graudenz, the bolsheyih
we're making desperate efforts to ex-
tricate their advanced guard, some OF
which had ventured as far as Eylau
and Plonsk. The red losses In pris-
oners in this region amounted to IL
600 in two days.

RAILROAD RATES
IN OREGON RAISED

Salem, or.-1ntrastate railroad rates
TO conform with the 25 per cent in
crease charges approved recently by
the interstate commerce commission
will become effective in Oregon on
August 26. according to an announce
ment made by the Oregon public serv-
ice commission here. The action OF
the public service commission in an
nouncing the new tariff follows out
the arrangement tentatively agreed
upon at a joint conference Of the Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho commits
sions held in Seattle a few weeks ago.
The action of the Oregon public
service commission Is in line with
that followed by most OF the state
commissions throughout the United
States and is in accord with the
urgent suggestion made by the three
commissioners whe sat with the in
terstate commerce commission at the
hearing of the recent rate case.
The Oregon commission in pursuing
this course made it plain that its
action in no way establishes the rea-
sonableness of the rates filed or pre-
cludes a shipper from bringing action
or prevents the commission from at
tacking any rate so filed.
