DELAWARE IS LIKELY ID VOTE TODAY ON
 WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
Yesterdays Sessions Occu- pied In Hearings of AdvO- cates and Opponents of
 Amendment
By Associated prsn

Dover, Del, March 25.-The Delaware legislature today cleared the way for voting, possibly tomorrow, in the Senate, on ratification of the propose woman suffrage constitutional amendment
 Sessions today were occupied in public hearings of advocates and opponents or the pending ratification resolution, and leaders planned definite action tomorrow, but some said vote in either body before next week was improbable.
 Suffrage workers admitted they still lacked sufficient votes in both houses. but declared changes later would rally the needed majorities Opposition lead CTS were equally confident of victory
 Ratification is impossible before next week. leaders stated tonight. even should the Senate adopt the resolution tomorrow Adjournment of the legislature tomorrow night until Monday is planned, and should the Senate vote for ratification to- morrow the resolution would go over in the House.
 Opposition leaders of both Senate and House are pressing for q vote tomorrow but the suffragist supporters were pre- pared to talk down vote in the absence of sufficient strength.
 Senator Walker. author of the ratifica- tion resolution. plans to report the meas ure from committee, and if efforts are successful in obtaining additional sup port, proposes to ask an immediate roll call.
 Mir Walker said tonight he was con- fident of favorable Senate action. but would not make definite plans until to- morrow.
 House action was not planned until after the Senate vote.
 Republican Leader Lyons. in charge of the House resolution. said he would not even ask a committee report because the present House lineup would defeat the measure

LURKING OF WAR INSTITUTIONS IS ADVOCATEDBYC COX Ohio Governor Charges De- feat of Peace Treaty to a

Chicago, March 25.-Speaking to- night before the Iroquois Club, a demo- cratic organization, on the subject, Good Faith in Government" Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio, democratic can dldate for the presidential nomination. charged defeat of the peace treaty to Ia senatorial partisan conspiracy and advocated junking most of our insti- tutions devoted to war"
 The governor also deprecated alleged hysteria over so-called ,bolshevism and urged protection against running to any extreme.
 He advocated repeal of the excess profits tax and abolition of federal in- heritance taxes and in their stead the ievying of a small tax on the volume of business done. Such a tax, he de- ciared. would neither tend to create excessive prices nor be burdensome matter of collection" !"
 Discussing the Senate's failure to ratify the peace treaty, Governor Cox said: Upon that body will descend either condemnation or approval. be- cause it's responsibility cannot easily be denied for state of affairs that iE world wide"
 Though charge and countercharge has been made. the governor said. 1t is easy to recall 'the bad faith ex- tibited early in the controversy. A dissenting group of senators violated every precedent maintained through cut the years in an effort 10 vent per- sonal spleen and political spite"
 The action of certain senators in ob- taining a copy of the peace treaty and publishing it in advance of it's pre- sentation to the Senate by the Presl- dent, Governor Cox declared. "tells the rnpreJudiced person that those who prevented the formalizins of peace ] legan their warfare against the l eague of Nations without patriotic impulse
 The excess profits tax. which he ad- yocated be repealed. was declared to he Considerable factor in the high cost of living"
 Approximately half of the s40OO : co0.000 required 10 operate the govern ment, he said. could be obtained from a tax of from l to 11s per cent on the volume of business done by any con- cern. Such tax. he said. would be neither cause nor alibi for excess rrices,'

MAN SHORTAGE WAS INITIAL HANDICAP
 .OF NAVY, DECLARES
Captain Charges Daniels With Responsibility Be cause of Prolonged
 Pr0crastinatiOn
By Associated Pres,

Washington, March 25.-Capt. Leigh C. Palmer, who as chief of the bureau of navigation during the war, was responsible for obtaining and distribut- Ing officers and men. testified today that shortage of personnsS was the American 'navy's initial handicap iIf the wan"
 Appearing before the Senate com mittee investigating Rear Admiral Sims charges against the Savy depart ment, Captain Palmer said Secretary Daniels was responsible for the alleged shortage because of his 'procrastina. ton" prior to the entry of this country into the conflict.
 Mir. Daniels consistently opposed ths building up of a strong naval reserve force before the war. the former navi- gation chief asserted, although naval officers had warned the secretary that after war was declared it would be toe late to obtain and train the men neces- sary. The secretary, however. always favored and strongly supported re- cruiting for the regular navy and after war was declared did everything possi ble to stimulate it. the witness said He added that this, however, was very different from thy policy MT. Danieli adopted toward the reserve force"
 ORDERED CONSTRUCTION
 i4tuSlTdtluS what ne ueCiared was refusal by Secretary Daniels to lool forward to the navy's tremendous war time expansion, Captain Palmer citee the construction of barracks at thu Great Lakes training station. After Secretary Daniels had failed to act on his recommendation. Captain Palmer said, he ordered the barracks built or his own authority and then told Con gress about it. Later an even greater expansion was found necessary at this station. he said.
 Captain Palmer said hs could not agree with MT. Daniels. primarily, be- cause the secretary "could not see things from the viewpoint of tho naval man"
 Capt, Joseph J. Taussig and Req, Admiral Plunkett will testify tomor- row.
