NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 2S.-Opoh
annIication of citizens of this and Rob
ertsou counties, Judge E. F. Langford OF
the chancery court of Davidson county
Saturday temporarily enjoined Governor
Roberts and Secretary of State Ike b.
Stevens from certifying to Secretary
Colby that the Tennessee legislature had
ratified the woman suffrage amendment
The proceedings attacked the validity
of the call by which the legislature was
convened and the legality of that body's
consideration of the amendment. Notice
of the injunction was served on the gov
ernor Immediately after the order had
been granted.
The bin under which the injunction
was granted cited provisions of the state
constitution, which provides that no
general assembly shall act upon an
amendment to the United States eonstl-
tuition unless such assembly shall have
been elected following the submission OF
the amendment The bill also cited the
action of the house of representatives
upon the ratification resolution up to the
filing of the bill, adding that the motion
to reconsider had not up to that time
been made 1t was alleged that Governor
Roberts has been actively working Tor
the massage of the illegal and uncOn-
stitutionaP' resolution and that the same
attitude was held by Secretary of State
Stevens. ~~-----
1t was also charged that should the
motion to reconsider the resolution tall,
an effort would be made to telegraph a
certificate to the secretary of state at
Washington, The bill also charged on IN
formation and belief that the said see
retary of state at Washington had an
nounced hisl.ntention of proclalming the
adoption of the said 10Th amendment
even on receipt of telephone or telegraphie
message as aforesaid" Such methods the
bill termed as being wholly illegal and
would be, if resorted to, an effort to
stife the views of the people of Tennes
see and to Dust the lawful authority of
the courts"
The bin insisted that there was no con-
fict between the state and federal con-
stitutions on the subject of amendments.
The bill also maintained that the cleo
tive franchise was "a property right, the
value of which would be seriously i'm
paired by the wrongful and illegal acts
, of the general assembly"
Speakers A. L. Todd and Seth Walker
of the senate and house, respectively,

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Two hundred
children of the officers of General
Wrangel's staff, sons and daughte rs
of generals, colonies and captains.
were among the 100000 Russian refu-
by ships of the allied nations when
the Bolsheviki broke down Wrangel's
defense and overran the Crimea.
Many of them were orphans, their
fathers having persisted while fighting
the Bolsheviki. One was the daughter
of the minister of finance of the Wran-
gel regime. All were nearly famished
when the vessels on which they had
taken refuge arrived here, for the
ships larders had been exhausted.
So hard pressed were all the refu-
gees to obtain food that they threw
diamonds and weapons or any other
valuables into the boats of traders
from Constantinople in payment for
anything eatable.
Report Tells Story.
A graphic story of their arrival at
Constantinople and how an American
destroyer took the 200 children of
Wrangels officers off the refugee YES
sells and landed them at the Trachoma
; orphanage maintained by the Near
East Relief is told in reports received
by that organization in this city. 1t
reads in part:

sight. One hundred thousand Rus

"Of course, natives are profiteering

and other valuables to these traders

an old aristocracy with no country

THE children were packed with
grown people like sardines on the big

of them were sick from fatigue, lack

NEED FOREIGN LOAN,
new PARLIAMENT IN
CHINA, SAYS premier
(By Associated Press)

PEKING, Dec. 27.-China needs q
new parliament and foreign loan to
reorganize the government, Premier
Chin Yun-peng told the newspaper
men at the capital recently in ver-
bal statement. The premier outlined
to the correspondents a whole pro-
gram of reorganization which the gov
eminent hopes to put into effect. The
parliament, he said. should draft a
proper constitution for reunited China,
now that the mandate of the president
has gone forth declaring peace be-
tween the Northern and Southern fac
tons.
The premier said. the government
desired to reorganize and reduce the
army and to separate the civil from
military jurisdiction. This last, he
said, might appear ridiculous to for
eigners but he added, in China the
military have overstepped civilian
powers so that one finds difficulty in
drawing a clear line between the
two.
Refers To Report.
The premier referred to a report
that the main reason for issuing the
mandate announcing a reunion of the
| North and South was the desire of the
central government to secure loans
from foreign countries. 81 emphatical
ly state that the government has NO
such thought" said Premier Chin
THE mandate was entirely free from
! such a desire. On the contrary, il
was only after this unity and in view
of the governments measure for re
organization of the whole country
| that a necessity for the loan arose.
"The idea of a foreign loan was only
to spare the people from making thai
loan themselves to the government
Capital from abroad might be brough
into the country and thus save the PEG
pie from using their own capital al
ready earmarked for their own indi
dividual undertakings.
Careful About Loan.
The premier declared, however
that the Chinese government woul
not make a foreign loan, although tn
necessity was pressing, except o.
such conditions as would not endange
the sovereign rights of the country o
involve any danger to its politica
status. If the loan could not be mad
on such terms then he believed tn
Chinese government could rely upo
the people themselves to come to it
assistance.
