would have been fully justified.

New York, Feb. 14.-Granting

heads OF the people," by legisla-
tive act cannot stand the tests
in the courts that will inevitably
ensue," is the assertion made IN
a statement issued here tonight

These cases." the statement
continues, should ratification
be obtained in time for women
to vote this year, will not only
hold up the election results as
did the Hayes-Tilden conflict,
but possibly necessitate a second
election. Republican and DEM
ocratic chairmen, working un-
der the suffrage whip, are lead
ing the country straight for po-
litical chaos"
The statement was amplified
by Miss Gary G.. Kilbreth, the
president, who declared two
suits would be instituted to test
the Constitutlonality of the
Susan B. Anthony amendment
if it becomes operative before
the presidential elections next
fall. Miss Kilbreth declined to
give details of the legal action
contemplated or to name the
counsel retained, but said pre-
liminary steps already had been
taken.
Attached to the statement
which was signed by Miss Kill
breth was a copy of a telegram
sent to Governor Hart, of Wash
ington, congratulating him on
his refusal to call special
session of the legislature to act
on the suffrage amendment.

ROYALTY IN OIL
INSTEAD Of Cash

IaT NoHNiho JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
Washington, Feb. 14.-Chairman
Payne of the shipping board today
asked Secretary Lane to exercise al
once the authority given him in the
oil leasing bill to take the govern
ments royalty on oil produced in
oil, instead of cash, and to sell it
to any government department. Mr.,
Payne~said such action would ena-
BILE e tipping board to obtain its
red ut of fuel oil. The board
recently sjected bids received for
supplying the annual commitment
of 100000 barrels because of the
insufficient amount offered. Chair
man Payne in his letter to Mr.. Lane
said the provision permitting the
government to take its royalty in oil
was inserted in the bill at the re-
quest of the shipping board.
The purpose" he said, was to
assure its necessary supply of fuel
oil on the Pacific coast at reasonable
prices. For the past two years the
board has been forced to purchase
its supplies on the Pacific in the
open market at almost prohibitive
prices, and 1t is now confronted
with the additional possibility of
having this supply cut off, BY TAX
ing the royalties accruing to the
government under the leasing act
estimated at 100000 barrels in
1920, in the form of oil at the pro-
ducing wells rather than in the
form of cash payment by the pro-
dUcers. the board may be in a po-
sition to force the Pacific coast OPP
orators to provide for its require
ment of fuel oil at reasonable
prices.

st Joseph, Mo, Feb. William
Howard Taft. ex-president Of the
United States, said here today that
the public will side with Secretary
of state Lansing iq the controversy
with President Wilson which re-
suited in the resignation of Mr..
Lansing.
Il believe that Secretary Lansing
was acting altogether within his
rights in calling conferences of the
cabinet members" Mr. Taft said.
II would not call them cabinet
meetings
ITO my mind calling such meet
ings does not constitute an assump-
tion of presidential authority with
in the meaning of the case"
Omaha, Neb., Feb. Former
President Taft, here today en- route
to the south, commented on the
peace treaty situation and the Ian
sing resignation.
II cannot see any substantial diff
ference between the republicans
and the democrats over the treaty"
he said. Really. it seems to me
now 1t is only a choice of words"
How it is possible to continue
this disagreement over the league
of nations covenant, / cannot see, "
the former president continued.
"To all intents and purposes, it
seems to me, the two sides have
reached point where there actu-
ally is no disagreement that should
prevent ratification"
The fact that forty democrats
were reported to be pledged to
support reservation on article ten
of the treaty as set forth in the
washington account, was matter
of qualification. 1t was then he eX-
claimed that he could see no sub
stantial difference between the two
sides.
THAT is my message now" he
added, chat is all l can say"
Great surprise was manifested by
Mr.. Taft at news of the resignation
of Secretary Lansing. What did
the cabinet do at the conference? p
he asked. "Does any one know
what they did that could possibly
have been so displeasing? 1t seems
to me the most natural thing in the
world for them to have met under
such circumstances"
Former President Taft, with a
rhuckle, disclaimed desire to ex-
press any opinion on the theory he
was an expert witness"

to vote for prohibition, as also they
urged Mr.. Costello to be "wet."
The only basis for the belief that
Moore leaders in the northeast may
decide finally to back Congressman Cos :
tello Is the declaration of Magistrate
Campbell, of the combined executive
committee of the district, that his mind
Is open and that he is not committed
either for or against Costello. William

Darrow to Confer With Mayor

Congressman George P. Darrow. of
the Sixth district, also out for re- cleo
ton, will confer with the Mayor next
week.
With respect to Mr.. Darrow it was
charged that he was persuaded in the
mayoralty primaries to hold back a
prepared statement indorsing Congress
man Moore against Judge Patterson.
Further, it was said that he even voted
for Judge Patterson.
1t was this development which lent
color to the report that the Wares might
finally support him. Congressman
Darrow is in Washington today, but
will be home tonight to begin trying
20 repair his badly wrecked political
fences.
In spite of the feeling that the Wares
may back Darrow for denomination,
the belief persists in informed circles
that Darrow is riding for fall. The
Penrose leaders of the Sixth district
have indorsed candidates for delegates
in the district, but have withheld ac-
tion on the congressional seat.
