HOPEFUL
FOR DELAWARE

Dover. Del, March while no
definite estimate can be given as
30 how the members of the De'a-
ware senate and house will vote
at the coming session OF the spe-
cial legislature on suffrage. which
will convene March 90. the strong
presumption is that practically all
of the Republican members Of the
houses will vote for the amend
ment. with possibly one Democrat
in the senate and one or two Demo-
Gratis in the house. which would
give more than the majority needed
TO pass il.
II the eleven Republican sena-
tors and the twenty-three Repub-
lican members of the house vote
for the amendment. with possibly
the vote of Senator Price and the
votes of Representatives Hart and
Staats. Democrats, more than the
required majority would be secured.
Governor Townsend has had as
surances from some OF the men,
bers of both houses that they will
vote for the amendment. He would
not say that there would be a suf-
fcient number to pass il. although
his personal feeling in the matter
is that the suffrage amendment will
pass.

PERSHING ATTENDS
MEMORIAL CHURCH

The presence Of Gen. Pershing fea-
tured the first meeting of members
of the Roosevelt Church held at
Wardman Park Hotel assembly room
yesterday morning at IL o'clock.
The church is designed as an in
terdenominational memorial insti-
tuition for those who died in the
war. Erection of. permanent
structure in Washington is contem-
plated.
Representative Henry T. Rainey,
of Illinois. in the principal address,
advocated the erection of the me-
mortal church. mo more fitting me-
mortal could be erected than a me-
mortal church here in Washington"
he said. Such a church would be
a memorial to the living God in
memory Of the soldiers of the great
war. in which great orators Of the
church. no matter to what creed
or belief they adhere. can preach.
Such a church would become a po-
tent power in dispelling the mists
of irreligion and selfishness which
exist today"

Jumbo S Bones
Repose in New

With the appearance In a new
encyclopedia of history Of Jumbo,
famous elephant in Barnum and
Bailey's circus Of thirty-hve years
ago. a controversy has resulted
among Jumbo's now aging admirers
concerning the whereabouts of his
bones.
Contrary to the ENCYCLOPEDIAS rec
ord. Jumbo's skeleton is not on
view at the, Smithsonian Institu-
ton here, though p. T. Barnum in
tended it should be. To keep the
records straight and also to halt
sacrilegious arguments over the
bones of a revered king of circus
dom--for Jumbo was monarch Of
all he surveyed. except q certain
railroad train-an Official announce
ment comes from the Museum Of
Natural History in New York City
that Jumbo's bones are there.
Jumbo was bumped on into the
elephants happy hunting ground
one sad evening In September. 1885,
when his royai ego misled him into
believing he could halt the prog
ress of a railway locomotive.
Jumbo'sN strik ing popularity
throughout the country led Barnum
to have his hide stuffed and ex-
hibited for years wherever the cir
Gus showed, and yearly celebrations
are held by the circus folk in OBJ
servence OF Jumbo's birthday ami

Municipal Building and Renting
AsN. Y. Housing Problem Solution
Proposed by jersey City Official

New York, March flames +.
Cannon. jr.. director Of public rev.
enue and finance Of Jersey City.
said today that at the conference
to which Mayor Hylan had invited
him at City Hall tomorrow morn
ing to institute a new municipal
crusade against New York rent
gougers. he would tell the mayor
that the only solution Of the high
rent problem in this city would be
the erection of many municipal two
story family houses in all of the
five boroughs of New York City.
Cannon would have the munich
pality of New York build rows upon
rows Of such houses, and act as
landlord.
Cannon will urge that Mayor Hy-
Ian have a bill on these lines draft
ed Immediately and introduced in
the legislature. Cannon says a sim
liar bill is sure of passage in New
Jersey.
If Mayor Hylan thinks this too
drastic. Cannon will advise him to
have another bili exempting all
dwellings erected in the next year
from all taxation for four years.
This would encourage building"
said Cannon.
He said once the three rent-prob-
lem laws are enacted in New Jersey,
the municipality will go ahead and
build in Bergen. North Bergen and
other cities and towns and would
rent a five-room apartment for $3.50
a room or $3.50 a month.

could dispose of the houses by SELL
