taken the matter up with the legal
division of the prohibition bureau
with a view of proceeding against
them.

SUFFRAGE
DECISION IS
POSTPONED
Issue Will Go to Senate D. c.
Committee at Regular Ses-
sion of Congress.

The final decision on the aues-
tion of suffrage for the District Of
Columbia will not be made by the
Senate District Committee until De-
cember at the earliest.
Senator Ball does not intend to
bring the question before the COM
mittee until the regular session of
Congress. He does not believe the
present hearings being held are
bringing out all the issues and all
the facts in the question. The
hearings will close Friday. when the
anti-suffragists will have two hours
IN which to close their case.
Amend Present Measure.
The Poindexter measure. providing
for District delegates in the House
of Representatives will be radically
amended II it should be accepted as
Q working basis for a suffrage plan
by the District Committee. 1t 10
probable the House District Commit
tee will be sounded as to its atti-
tude before any action is taken.
Local interests. opposed to suffrage
are now of so nebulous a character
that they have requested Chairman
Ball. Of the District Committee. for
additional time to complete their
organization.
At the hearing yesterday a spokes.
man for the opponents of suffrage,
@. w. Ayres, was forced to admit
under interrogation by Senator
Wesley Jones and others, that he
Knew Of no organization opposition
to suffrage in Washington and that
he was merely speaking for a great
number of citizens" whose names he
could not give.
Senator Ball is inclined to believe
that there is substantial opposition
In Washington to changing the pres
ent form Of District government, but
he wants to be sure of his facts be-
fore he proceeds further.
Lloyd Pleads Case.
Former Congressman James T.
Lloyd of Missouri was the chief
speaker before the Senate committee
yesterday in favor of suffrage. He
represented the Chamber Of Com
merce and other civic organizations,
and affirmed his belief that not only
should the District Of Columbia have
q delegate in Congress, but should also
be permitted to choose Presidential
electors. He made an extended state.
ment before the committee and sum-
married. the case in favor OF suffrage.
The political evils and corruption
which WAS alleged to exist in Wash
1ngton. prior to the passage Of the or
ganic act of 1879. was emphasized by
q. w, Ayres as the strongest reason
why an electoral system should not
be revived in the city.
Charges made by John A. Baker, of
1873 II street northwest, to the effect
that the present propaganda in favor
OF suffrage was being engineered by
District citizens anxious for political
preferment were placed before the
committee.
