SUFFRAGE UPSET 7
IN TENNESSEE
IS BIG SURPR RISE
May Result in All Kinds of
Complications
AWAIT COURT DECISION
Possibility that 1t May Be Made too
Late for Women to Vote in
November Elections.

Washington, Sept. IA tangle Of
Intricate legal questions was put UP to
IGoyernment officials today by the ac-
Ition of the lower house OF the Tennes-
see Leg stature in voting to rescind its
previous approval of the Federal
woman outrage amendment The ac-
ton was a surprise to Government of
ficals and to suffragists who had sup
IpoTed their battle won.
Probably the most alarming aspect
of the situation, as considered by Off
icials here was the possibility that the
United States Supreme Court may be
unable to render a final decis on in the
litigation that is now sure to ensue
Iuntil after the Presidentiol election.
If this decision was unfayOrable to
suffrage and the court held that the
Nineteenth Amendment had not been
properly ratified the Presidential cleo
ton probably would be thrown into
1.-THE House of Representatives, and nu-
Imerou3 Congressional ELECTIONS called
into question
A decision adverse to suffrage auto
Imatically would throw out votes of
states in which women had voted
Iillegally, it was admitted here. This
would be sure to leave either Presiden-
ltial nominee without a majority as re-
Iquired by the Constitution, and the
House would have to make a choice.
Two ways out of the dilemma now
appear to be to get decision on suf.
. fra al ~ n pat rnfifi-
cation by another state
The first way Involves difficulties
because the Supreme Court does not
meet unit / October 4. and election is
November 2. In such exceptional cir
cumstances, however. it is believed
the court would rush its decision.
Women have already begun a cam
paign TO got another state rat. iicatian
land are centring effort on Connecticut
where the Legislature meets October
a.
There seems to be some doubt that
the Legislature, which meets in spec al
session. can take up the suffrage
amendment, it was called specifical-
tly to frame laws to allow women to
register and vote in the State. The
League of Women Voters is already
at work in Connecticut, and the Ma
tional Woman's party is expected to
join the campaign, despite statements
Of some of the m nor officials of the
organization here today
AT the Department of Justice today
It was made pain that the who e ques-
ton now is whether Tennessee's rati-
fcation is legal rather than whether
Secretary of State Colby has the power
not to allow the withdrawal OF ratifi-
lcation If the courts should hold Ten
nessees ratificat on illegal suffrage
would be invalid, no matter what Colby
did, it is held here. There has been a
case in which the Secretary of State
refused to let ratification be with
drawn, but there was no question as
to its original yad 'lty.

FATHER VAUGHN's VIEWS
Last Sacrament May Not Be Given to
Hunger Strikers

London, Sept. 1.-The question
has been widely discussed here re-
Gently as to whether it is justifiable
to give the last sacrament to hunger
strikers. 1t is maintained by many
persons that, to all intents, such strik.
ers are committing suicide Father
Bernard Vaughn, who is famous for
his sermons and writings, today made
the following statement on the subject
Personally, from my reading of
theology moral and dommatic, |
should not feel entitled to administer
the rites of the church to any one, no
matter what his nationality, who was
de 'iberately dying through a hunger
strike. But | am free to admit that
other theologists, far more learned
than | am, would reverse my verdict
ON the subject.
Some moralists there are who deny
that hunger striking cannot be justi-
fled, others have drawn a distinction
between objective truths and sub.
1ective errors But, as you are ask
ing for my personal view of the sub
lcct, | give it for what it is worth,
without comment upon any one who
may differ from me"
