Notes BY a Washington Observer
Suffrage Dominates Capitals Interest.
Colby Refuses Part in Movies.
Amplifier Carries Cox's Voice.

Suffrage was overwhelmingly in
the air in Washington yesterday.
It dominated the scene completely
at the State Department and the
White House. Secretary Colby said
that minor issues like the Polish
Russian war had been backed off the
political map by the formalities at
tendant upon legalizing the Susan
B. Anthony amendment. The hero
inc of the immortal twenty-sixth of
August, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
accompanied by Mrs. Helen Gard
ner, the woman member of the Civil
Service Commission, spent fifteen
minutes with the President during
Wilson a Book of Tribute" con-
tanning paeans of gratitude from
the suffrage leaders of many States.
Colby Spurns Movies.
Secretary Colby resolutely declin-
ed to turn the "constitutionaliza-
tion' of suffrage into a movie.
Suavely but firmly he rejected all
suggestions to reconstruct the
crime" for film purposes, taking the
position that he saw neither rhyme
nor reason in staging a fake scene
hours after the real thing had been
effectuated Colby accepted with
visible glee newspapermen's invita-
ton to describe his matutinal acti-
vities in connection with the suf-
frage amendment. He decided. he
said, not to sign the proclamation in
hh n
not think it "comported with the
dignity of the Secretaryship of
state to seem too eager to dodge
judicial processes" Yet, Colby
went on to explain, he did not re-
gard it prudent ito loiter conspicu-
ously" over it. So at s a. m. he
did the necessary.
