|MAY VOTE ON SUFFRAGE
| IN DELAWARE TUESDAY
Forces For and Against Woman's
Amendment Continue Activity
During Legislative Recess.

DOVER, Del. March 27.-Although
the Delaware legiSla UIre was in ad-
Journment until next Monday, today
saw little let-up in tine struggle for
and against its ratification of the
woman suffrage constitutional amend
ment. Workers on both sides contin-
ued campaigns in preparation for the
vote expected next Tuesday or We'd
neSday.
Activity of Campaign,rs.
Throughout Delaware today the
champions, wearing the yellow and
purple colorS of the Suffra giats and
the red roses of the opposition. were
engaged with special pressure on
members of the lower legislative
branch. which so far has mainta,i ed
majority against ratification. Many
campaigners were at Whining ton,
Philadelphia and some at Washington
enlisting aid in the fight.
An end to the fight next week is re-
garded as assured. General belief is
that the vote will come on Wednesday.
first in the house. and, should it de-
eide for ratification, Immediately aft
erward in the senate.
Suffrage Advocates Determined.
Suffrage advocates declared that
should Delaware refuse to be the
thirt ty-siXth state needed for ratifica-
ton of the proposed constitutional
amendment they will turn their at
tntlOn TO 1Our OCneT StdteS--tOuneCtl
cut, Vermont, North Carolina and
Louisiana. Suffrage organizations now
have representatives at work in all
four. They are seeking special seS-
sions of the Connecticut and Vermont
legislatures and counting on action
at the North Carolina assembly called
for July. But Delaware remains their
major hope for effeCting ratification
of the amendment in time to insure
nationwide suffrage in the coming
primaries.
An adverse vote by the Delaware leg
islature on the suffrage amendment
might cost the republican party the
presidency. the Senate and the House
at the November elections, Represent
ative Fess of Ohio chairman Of the re-
publican national congressional commit
tee, said last night in a telegram to
Senator Ball at Dover. Mr.. Fess ap-
pealed to his party in Delaware to ratify
the amendment and not to break the
record of republican states which have
voted on it.

This is the first time I've seen John

Now, that sounded very polite and

Old Man Coyote Suddenly
Turns Very Polite.
Bite OF more than You can swallow
And chang, of mind Is s1ra to folIo.r

Bite of more than you swallow
And change of mind is sure to follow.
Johnny Chuck with his back to an
old fence post and facing Old Man
Coyote. had little time to wonder
what had become of Jimmy Skunk.
He had time for only just one bitter
thought and that was that Jimmy
Skunk was proving himself no friend
at all. He knew that in less than a
minute Old Man Coyote would spring
on him and then he would have to
fight for his life with no chance at all
of winning. But he meant to fight
just the same. He meant to fight Just
as long as there was a breath left in
his body.
He saw Old Man Coyote crouch for
the spring and in Old Man Coyotes
eyes was a savage look terrible to see.
1t was so terrible that Johnny Chuck
closed his eyes for just a second to
shut it out. He closed them for only a
second, but when he opened them he
met with a surprise that made him
wonder if he could be seeing quite
right. Instead of springing on him
Old Man Coyote was backing away
and that savage look in his eyes had
been replaced by one Of disappoint-
ment.
At first Johnny Chuck didn't know
what to make of it. Then a voice
right beside him said. Don't you
worry about that fellow any more,
Johnny Chuck. He's changed his mind.
He isn't going to bother you any
more this morning" The voice was
the voice of Jimmy Skunk, and there
was Jimmy himself calmly walking
out from behind the fence post where
he had been hiding.
Good morning. Old Man Coyote!
Were you looking for something in
particular over here?" said Jimmy
skunk in his most polite manner all
the time walking toward Old Man
Coyote as calmly as if the latter were
as harmless as Peter Rabbit. Jimmy
looked very fine in his black and
white coat. His big plume of tail

an important engagement up in the

II would if ] were you" said jim
nv Skunk dryly, and Old Man Coyote
did. He trotted on quite as if that
was what he had intended to do all
along. Even Johnny Chuck had to
laugh.

WANT TO GET
 ATTELL'S STORY

New York, Oct. 4-District Attorney Swann today widened the scope of his of the New York end of the baseball scandal.
 Convinced that the master mind'' in the conspiracy is being shielded be- cause of the shyness of several men whom he is eager to question, the dis trict attorney has asked the grand jury to aid in the investigation.
 Process servers from Swann's office are still on the trail of Abe Atte1l who has suddenly become elusive. It was said today that Attell is in Philadel- phia. The prosecutor is anxious to get Attelps testimony. tI am con- vinced that Attel1 really knows the whole story of the 1920 worlds series details. By appearing before the grand jury, of course, he will gain in dividua1 immunity from prosecution. But Atten is one of the small fry. What he knows is important, however. We would prosecute him for perjury after he had testified before the grand jury if what he told the jurors was not the truth"
