VERMONT GOVERNOR
YIELDS TO HARDING
Clement, After Conference With
Nominee, Indicates Call for
Vermont on Suffrage.

Washington, ID. c., July 2.-Taking
heed of storm brewing among the
women formerly affiliated with the Re-
publican organization over their treat
ment at the hands OF the Republican
organization. Governor Clement, Of YER
mont, who came to Washington 10 con-
fer with Senator Harding, will yield
to the insistence Of the suffrage leaders
that the Vermont Legislature be called
in extra session to rntify the proposed
Nineteenth amendment.
The announcement of the extra ses-
sion call was expected after conference
between Senator Harding and Governor
Clement last night. The excuse was given
that Tennessee had fallen down" and
that it was up to the Republican lenders
to save the situation and insure the
women voting in the various Congress
sional primaries as well m in November.
The truth is that the action OF Sena"
tor Harding, in interceding with the
Vermont Governor, was taken 10 qnoll
an incipient rebellion among the women
who heretofore have been aligned with
the Republican organisation,
Now that an extra session in Vermont
has been decided upon, an effort will be
made 10 forestall Tennessee, where n
Democratic Governor has announced he
will convene the Legislature August Q.
The tide of feminine favor has turned
so strongly away from tho Republicans
that il is expected they may do some
thing to straigh,en out the New York
situation, where the Wadsworth can
didacy Ia playing havoc with the women
voters. The loss of New York State is
looming ominously before the Rapubli-
can leaders unless they can placatc Miss
Hay and her followers

MANUFACTURERS MEETING.
Business Heads of L. S. to be Guests OF
Canadian Leaders in Commerce.

Harbor Commissioner Joseph Bancroft
will leave early next week for Buffalo,
n. y, TO attend meeting of the Board
of Directors Of the National Manufac-
turers Association. This is a quarterly
meeting of the board of directors, but had
added Importance because the Canadian
Manufacturers Association has invited
the directors TO be their guests in a visit
TO several important Canadian cities on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next
week
What will be the outcome Of this meet
ing of manufacturers of these two coun-
tries is problematical. IL will likely result
IN a better understanding between the
two groups of manufacturers relative to
matters of business IN which both are
mutually interested.

IMPERsONATING TINsMAN.
Constable Hears That His Name is
Being Put to Bad Use.

Constable William Tinsman hears that
he is being impersonated. Not success
fully, of course, for there is only one "Bill," "
but in a way to make him unpopular with
people who do not realize that they are
being imposed upon.
1t has come to his hearing that two
men have recently stopped travellers along
lonely roads after dark and held them
up while searching for booze" one Of
them using the doughty constable's name
as a cloak for authority. If "booze"
has been found, it has been conhscated
and money taken to keep the matter
quiet, so it is said.
OF course that is not in the least the
style of legitimate official. as "Bill'' is,
and he is going after the culprits hot footed
and will give them short shrift when
found.

BRITISH LAND TROOPS
coNSTANTINoPLE IN HANDS OF
ALLIES UNDER BRITISH GEN
CITY UNDER HEAVY GUARD;
TURKS MAKE VERY LITTLE
PROTEST.

Constantinople, March 1S.-Constan-
tinople is now occupied by allied
forces under Gen. Sir George f. Milne
of the British army. This long-looked
for military demonstration by the al
lies against Turkey was carried out
with only one untoward happening,
II serious clash ut the war office,
where the Turks resisted the allied
troops. An exchange Of shots result
ed, in which several punjabi of the
British East Indian forces and few
of the Turks were killed.
The excitement caused by the occu-
patton quieted down before darkness,
which brought absolute calm.
The landing Of occupation forces
was carried out under guns of the
formidable allied fleet anchored in
the Bosphorus The British dread
nought Benbow was moored at the
Galata quay, her guns trained on
Stamboul. Another man-of-war faced
the arsenal in the Golden Horn, while
all other warships in the Bosphorus
We're standing by with their decks
cleared for action
Except In the instance stated, how
ever, there was no resistance to the
allies. The population, in fact, showed
little alarm.
The allied high commissioner here
has issued statement declaring that
the allies have no intention of de-
stroying the authority of the Sultan
but wish to strengthen his power 1t
also says the allies will adhere to
their intention not to deprive the
Turks of Constantinople but that they
may be compelled to modify their de-
cision If massacres and disorders con-
tinue.
Notification of the occupation of
Constantinople was given the grand
vizier in formal letter signed by the
French, British and Italian high COM
missioners.
The allies have occupied the min
istries of war and navy and assumed
control of the posts, telegraphs and
telephones, which have been tempo
rarily suspended. Shipping also has
been suspended.
There was no sign of panic except
In one section of Stamboul as COM
manders of the allied troops brought
their forces ashore.
These forces included 1000 blue
jackets and marines from British
warshIps, and contingents from all
the allies represented. Indian de-
tachments having Moslems on their
rosters were among the troops tax
ing part
Comprehensive military and naval
plans have been made to carry out
the allied measures and precaution-
airy steps taken. A number of Turks
and other persons regarded as possible
disturbers of the peace We're arrested.
The dead walls of Constantinople
were placarded with proclamation
by Mai. Gen Henry F. NJ Wilson of
the British troops, declaring anyone
committing any act that threatened
the safety of the allied forces would
be tried by court-martial.

VOTE TO RATIFY PACT WITH
RESERVATIONS SEVEN SHORT
OF REQUIRED NUMBER.
FAILED TO RATIFY
TREATY OF VERSAILLES WILL
PROBABLY BE FORCED INTO
CAMPAIGN.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, March 20.-The treaty
of Versailles failed of ratification for
the fourth time and then the Senate
voted to send it back to President VII
son and II notification that it had
finally refused TO advise and consent
to its ratification"
On the decisive roll call the vote
was 10 for ratification to 30 against,
the opposition numbering in its ranks
twenty Democrats who We're unwilling
10 see the treaty go through with
Republican reservations objected to by
the President, and three Democratic
and twelve Republican irreconcilables.
Twenty-one Democrats quit the
Presidents lead and voted for ratif-
ration, but the detection failed by
seven votes of providing the two
thirds requisite to ratify.
The result was regarded every
where in the capital as having put
over into the political campaign for
decision the long and bitter fight be-
tween the chief executive and the SEN
ate majority.
A move to reconsider the vote and
try once more to ratify collapsed in
its inception, leaders on both sides
agreeing that further ratification ef-
forts would be waste of time as long
as the Senate membership remains as
1t is.
Whether the President would return
the treaty to the Senate remains un-
determined, but the Republicans
served notice that If he did, it would
repose for many weeks to come in Il
committee pigeonhole.
In the vote of forty to thirty
seven by which the Senate washed
its hands of the subject and sent the
treaty to the White House the Repub-
lican leaders had the support of the
mild reservationists as well as the ir
reconcilables of their party, while the
Democrats voted almost solidly in OPP
position.
The next step planned by the Sen
state of peace to relieve the nation
of the war status which the Demo
Gratis maintain can be ended only by
the treaty's ratification.
The roll call on ratification came
four months, almost to the hour, after
the failure of three attempts at rati'
fication on Nov. 10. On that occasion
the greatest strength developed for
ratification with the Republican res
ervations. was forty-one votes, only
seven Democrats voting with the Re
publicans in the affirmative.
