MEXICALI, Cal, Aug. 17-Arrange- ments for transfer for the governor ship of the northern district of Lower California from Esteban Cantu who has been in revolt for the past three weeks, to General Luis Salazar tomor- row virtually were complete tonight.
 Governor Cantu today authorized the statement that General Salazar would succeed him in the governorship tomorrow.
 It was stated messages, received from Mexico City were of such a na- ture as to cause Colonel Cantu to de- eide to accept them as final instead of waiting as had been planned, for the arrival from the capital of General Salazar's commission as governor.
 It was announced that Cantu soon would resume his colonelcy in the Mexican army and that meantime he would visit Mexico City as the guest of Yico Alessio Robles, editor of Fl Democrata and brother to M. Alessio Robles, private secretary to Adolfo de la Huerta provisional preside ct. VIco AIesSio Robles IS participating in the negotiations here.
 General Salazar and Colonel Cantu gave Senor Robles a large share of the credit for arranging the transfer of the governorship. A brilliant recep- tion in honor of the new governor is being planned, but the date has not been set.
 General Salazar and Senor Robles were quoted as expressing themselves as impressed with the cordiality, pa triotism and loyalty of Colonel Cantu in the final negotiations.
 Virtually all of the Cantu appoint ees will be retained by the new gov ernor, it was announced. It was added that his policy toward existing gam bling and other concessions in the dis trict would not be discussed formally pending further adives from Mexico City. It was pointed out, however, that the provisional government had gone on record as opposed to gambling and vice.

IRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

BOSTON, Aug. 17-An intimation of the defense to be offered by Charles Ponzi, now in jail as the outcome of his financial dealings was given today by his chef counsel, Daniel McIsaacs, who said that Ponzi bod been swindled out of thousands of dollars through the forging and raising of his notes.
 At a hearing in federal court today on petitions for receivership of the securities exchange company of which Ponzi was the head, no opposition was voiced. Judge Morton took under ad visement the receiyership plea. Gov : ernor Coolidge today expressed the opinion that there now are enough laws to meet situations such as have developed in the Ponzi and Old Colony Foreign Exchange company cases. This comment was made after he had received a letter from District Attor- ney Pelletrer, suggesting special legis- lation.
 Attorney General Allen tonight said that the returns filed by note holders so far showed the Ponzi liabilities to be s3349,031. This sum included the 50 per cent profit promised.

RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 17-North Carolina was eliminated, at least tenn porarily, today, from the fight to raitfy suffrage amendment in time for the women to vote in November By q vote of p to 23, the senate voted to postpone action until the next regular session in 1921.
 The blow came as a surprise to suf- frage proponents The postponemenI resolution went through before they could move to block it's adoption
 The fight may be renewed tomorrow, however. Suffrage leaders said an attempt to reconsider might be made.
 Anti suffrage forces prepared to take quick advantage of their victory They planned to bring the ratification matter up under special order in the house tomorrow. Call it up and kill 1t right" was the way Representative Neal, antisuffrage floor leader. de- scribed the plan-
 The end of the contest came sud denly in the senate, when suffrage supporters were confident of victory After a day of heated debate, Senator Scales, suffrage leader, announced he was ready for vote.
 Senator Warren, opposition spokes- man. was recognized and he began in troduction of the resolution.
 The roll call closed the case.
 Anti suffragists marched from the state house in victorious procession As they left they shouted we'll beat ir again in November"

TENNESSEE HOUSE ADJOURNS WITHOUT
 VOTE ON SUFFRAGE

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 17.-Un- expected adjournment of the Tennessee house after three hours debate pre- vented final action on suffrage.
 Suffrage opponents moved for ad- journment until tomorrow on the plea that members should have more time to deliberate The house fairly seethed with excitement. Efforts to hold the body in session, however, were un- availing and the motion carried. 53 to A.
 Opposition leaders said the vote was virtually correct indication of sentI- ment on ratification. The suffragists declared no importance should be at tached to it. A final vote tomorrow was regarded as almost certain.
 Some members took exception to the presence of scores of opposing work CTS on the floor. A motion that it be cleared brought a protest
 Debate on the motion that the house concur in the action of the senate in ratifying centered largely on the con tention that this legislature had no right to act on ratification as a clause of the state constitution provides that legislature. to pass on proposed amendment, must have been elected prior to the submission of the amend ment by congress.
 Speaker Walker. opposition leader, read a letter from W. L. F'rierson, so- licitor general of the United States, saying he had not advised any one it would be entirely proper for the pres- ent legislature to act"
 A recent ruling by the state attorney general that a mapority vote of the members present, if there was a quo- rum. and not the constitutional ma- jority of 50 of the 99 members of the house would be sufficient.
 Great interest was displayed tonight in the action of the North Carolina senate in deferring considering until 1921. Suffragists had been encour- aged by advices from Raleigh that prospects of ratification there were hopeful, and the sudden termination of the fight was unexpected.
 It was conceded by many suffragists that whether women of the nation would vote in November depend OH i Tennessee Favorable action. bv F1orf- da was said 10 be out of the question. and all efforts to persuade the gov ernors of Vermont and Connecticut to ! call the legislatures of those states in special session have met with failure

AMERICAN ATHLETES
 FAIL TO FINISH IN
 5,O00 METRE RACE
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wire]

OLYMPIC STADIUM, ANTWERP, Aug. 17.-Athletic advancement was demonstrated today by the wide dis tributfon of honors in the third day's contests in the seventh Olympiad.
 For the first time American athletes failed to win one of the six point SCOT ing places when all four who qualified for the 5000 metre race failed to fin ish. In all the other finals and quail flying rounds today. however, the Americans were placed, in several eases after sensational performances against strong competition. R. W. Landon of the New York A. c. won the high jump with a new Olympic record of 931A metres although it was announced he had made l .94 re measured. Three other Americans placed.
 In the elimination for finalists in the shot put and broad jump, two Aueri- cans qualified in each, although hard luck interferred with their perfor- mances in the latter event. The shot putters. misunderstanding French of ficials. put the shot long time before discovering it was just a warm up and later some of them did not do so well as in the practice.
 In the broad jump, the negro, Sol Butler of Dubuque college, American record holder, pulled tendon in his y Three Americans also qualified in the 110 metres hurdles.
 The most sensational performance was that of the half-milers in the 500 metres final which Earl Eby of the Chicago A. A. almost won, and in which Lieutenant D. M. Scott, U. s. A., and A. B. Sprott of the Los Angeles A C., finished fifth and sixth after a ter rife pace A. G. Hill of England won by yard due partly to the fact that Eby was watching the expected winner of the race, B. G. D. Rudd of South Africa, who faltered at the tape while Hill slipped through unobserved.
 Americans admitted Rudd was not quite in his best form, although he was game to the finish collapsing as did Thomas Campbell of Yale and fin ishing a most sensational climax. The latters condition was serious for a few minutes, due to muscle and heart spasms but he was all right later.
 The American tug of war team was quickly outpulled by the English team but had a chance for re-entry in case England wins, under the rule which permits all teams defeated by the win ner to contest for second place.

Our position is not unbendlnS. we claim that we can accept anything Gin reservations) that interprets, that calls attention to the limitations of our con- stitution, that calls attention of the other nations that will go thus far and no further
 The league issue was featured by Governor Cox and also in addresses of Secretary Baker and Senator Pomerene of Ohio.
 Perfectly perfidous act" and dis honorable deed" were terms applied by Governor Cox to the separate peace proposal as the convention gave him ovation after ovation. The separate proposal, he declared, will remain in the public mind This after all," he continued, s'is the cruix of the situa- tion. The reactionary candidate prom ises you nothing but a proposal. which at its best, promises nothing but months and possibly years of delay On the other hand, we promise that after March 4, with the least amount of conversation possible we will enter the. league"

 He denounced the republican argu- ment that the league would increase probability of war.
 Denying also that the league could order American soldiers overseas, Gov ernor Cox continued:
 "The republican leaders, in declar- ing that four or five potentates over seas can order our soldiers anywhere. are speaking a deliberate and wilful un- truth.

 Will H. Hays, national chairman an- nounced that f'at Senator Harding $ personal insistent wish" the Labor day speech would be delivered from the front porch to a meeting arranged by the Central Labor union. He said the senator was anxious to speak on labor issues here among people who know his labor record" and for that reason invitations to other cities for that day were declined. The other front porch date announced was Sept. 4. when Republican state chairmen will be re- ceived. Times and places where cam paign issues are to be presented by Senator Harding also were discussed and it was announced there would be an elaboration of his position on the league of nations in a speech here Aug. 28 to delegation from Indianap- oliS.

 What took place at the session was described by Senator New as just 9 general discussion without reaching any decision except tentatively" He said all participants except Senator Harding were leaving Marion tonight and that there had been no agreement for resumption of the conference.
 Chairman Hays said there had been mo hitch in, the proceedings, but that the work of sorting over the applica- tions and dove-tailing them together, had been found very laborious.
 All of those in the conference were emphatic in declaring they expected no modification in the front porch campaign. They all said, however. that "a number of speeches" probably would be mades in other cities adding that such trips had been a part of the plan from the beginning.
 In addition to favoring a. front porch Labor day speech, Senator Harding emphasized the number of applications received for appointments here, declar- ing that no one-tenth of them could be granted.
 Among other things there was some discussion of Senator Harding's speech of Sept. 8, at the Minnesota state fair. Farm questions were talked over with MT. Wallace.

 LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.-While detectives were attempting to find out how robbers last night gained access to a safe in one of the su- perior court rooms here and es- capped with $22,0O0, the general public was wondering why the robbers did not take $20,000 more which was there. Earlier reports had credited the robbers with ob- taining $25,000.
 The money was packed into bun- dies of S1 900 each, and represented bail deposited by a number of per sons. The robbers apparently gained entrance to the court room through adjoining offices, using pass keys, and opened the safe by means of the combination. The court room is immediately above detective headquarters where men were on duty all night. The rob bery was discovered whe1 court was opened this morning.
 Detectives declared they were bending their first energies toward ascertaining how the robbers hap pened to have the safe combina- ton and why there was so much money in the safe. The court clerk, Clyde Johnson, said he had intend ed to deposit the money today.
