onicials here see two ways OF avoid
ing this.
The first way Is 10 get the matter
settled by a decision Of the Uniod
states Supreme Court before elec,mn.
The court does not meet until October
4, and the elections are November .,
giving the court less than a month
TO act.
Furthermore none OF the suffrage
cases are yet formally before it.
The second way is TO get ratification
by a thirty-seyenth State. Connecti-
cut now offers the mos. likely chance
for such a move as this 90 succeed.
Suffrage leaders are cenierlng efforts
on Connecticut, although one group
here says they are doing nothing
there. Il was learned, however, that
this announcement was made because
leaders thought 10 would be a con-
fession OF doubt about the Tennessee
result IN suifragists advertised they
were after another State.
Republican leaders, 10 was believed
here, can aid suffrage in Connecticut.

They are expected TO meeet in special
session on Sept. 4. The Alabama Leg
lslature also noes 10 September. ac-
cOrding 20 word here, but the chances
for suffrage there are deemed slight.
II the presidential election should
get TO The House 10 would probably
mean The almost certain election OF
senator Harding as President. The
Senate would elect the Nice-Presldent.
The House is safely Republican with
that party having a majority Of the
Congressmol in nearly thirty State
DELEGATIONS.
The last election thrown into the
House was the Hayes-Tilden contest.
The first election Of Thomas Jeffer-
son was also made by the House,
Aaron Burr being his closest rival.

M'GRAW PUSHED SLAY|N
TAXI DRIVER DECLARES
Tells Assistant District Attorney
of Encounter on the
Sidewalk,

NEW YORK, August 12.-John C.
Slavin, musical comedy acotr, was in
jured after a scuffle early Sunday
ager of the New York Giants, resented
his attempt and that of Winfield Lig-
gett, former naval officer. to escort
him to his apartments, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney P. Francis Mario was
told today by William T. Meagan. the
taxi driver who took the actor and his
friends to McGraw's home after the
base ball mans fight with a member
of the Lambs Club.
McGraw. Meagan declared, was
under the weather." and resented
Slavin and Liggett's determination to
see him safely home.
Meagan said he noticed McGraw's
up at the. club. They were quiet
he said, during the ride.
| Arrived at McGraw's doorstep. Mea.
gan told the prosecutor, LigEett got
out first and then helped McGraw te
alight. When all three were on the
sidewalk an. argument started.
| Il don't want any one to go with
tested.
Then. Meagan said. McGraw gave
Liggett a punch and he fell, his body
lying partly in the doorway Of thu
taxicab and partly on the sidewalk
A moment later he heard a '.thump'
and saw McGraw walk into the vesti-
! bule of his home. Slavin had fallen
to the sidewalk and was lying uncon-
scious near Liggett, he said.
After Meagan had told his story
District Attorney Edward Swami de-
3gclared that an attempt was being
made to prevent the police from get
ting at the truth of how SIavin was
hurt.
TT is apparent that some unseen
Einf1uence is at work to befuddle the
authorities" he said. However, the
truth will be obtained despite this,
and no influence can prevent the
guilty man from being punished if we
can get the necessary proof"
Slavin is said to have interceded and
stopped the fight at the club. Winfield
Liggett. a retired naval officer, told
the district attorney today that later
he and Slavin accompanied McGraw
home in a taxicab. although McGraw
who, he said. had been drinking,
wanted to, go home alone. When they
reached McGraw's home Liggett said
McGraW got out of the taxicab first
Slavin next and himself last. Lig-
gett added that he stopped to talk to
the chauffeur and when he turned
around he found Slavin lying on the
sidewalk.
With McGraw's help he carried
Slavin into the vestibule of the house.
Liggett added he later took Slavin
to hospital and McGraw went up to
his apartment. Liggett declared he
did not see any one hit Slavin, but
added that the chauffeur was in a po-
sition to see just what happened.

INCREASE GRANTED
TO RAILROAD MEN
Terminal Freight Handlers
and Truckers Get Raise of
IL Cents an Hour.

Station and platform freight han
dlers and truckers at the Washington
terminal will be granted an increase
in wages of IL cents an hour. begin
ming Saturday. ond all drastic action
contemplated by them has been pre-
cluded, it was announced today by
Organizer L. A. Sterne of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The decision to grant the terminal
employees the increase demanded, it
was said by Mr.. Sterne, was reached
yesterday afternoon at a conference
between him and D. L. Fisher, gen.
eral superintendent of the Baltimore
and Ohio freight station. The en-
ployes benefited by the increase are
members of Baggage Mail Handlers
Union. Local No. 1896.
In addition to the increased wages.
which brings these employees salaries
up to $4.12 a day. they will be BEN
at their places Of employment.
The dispute over the wage scales
arose several weeks ago and the men
had talked of a strike if the increase
of IL cents an hour was not granted.
A strike vote probably would have
been taken several days ago. it was
said, but for the action of Organizer
Sterne in urging the men to defer
their plans until the regular meeting
of the union, which was scheduled for
August 10.
BY postponing any action on the
part of the men to this date Sterne
believed the wage dispute could be
amicably settled.
