WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2. -

Democrat in the legislature voted for
it,"
The message went to Assemblymen

Gratis, who are said here to have op-
posed ratification of the amendment.

the house committee Of the whole,
where its opponents predict it will be
allowed to die
Both houses passed a concurrent
resolution last Friday to adjourn sine
die today and as a two-thirds vote is
necessary to bring the suffrage meas
ure from committee, it was generally
agreed that unless the anti-suffrage
members are willing, it will not come
before the house again.
Put OFF In House.
After being defeated by the lower
house. the resolution was passed by
the senate on May 5, but fearing a
second defeat, suffrage advocates sue
ceeded in preventing it being messag-
ed to the house until last Friday.
Meanwhile every effort was made to
bring about change of sentiment in
the lower house. Anti-suffragists de-
clare, however, that instead of increas-
ing their strength the suffragists have
lost one or two votes since the resolu-
tion was defeated by the house early
in the session.

Bear Predictions Come True

The severe break in prices yester-

out the forecasts of the bear contingent
late last week that this week would
witness a further drastic decline. The
fact that the downward movement has

in some quarters that the impetus to
the selling wave was given by a group
