Although Constitutional
Changes Are Likely to Be
Adopted in Concurrence
THEY WILL COME UP
NEXT THURSDAY
House Went Through One
of It's Longest Calen-
dars To-day

The five proposals of amendment to
the constitution of Vermont, proposed
to the House by the Senate, were this
morning reported fayorably but we're
ordered TO lie and made a special order
for next Thursday at IL O'Clock, on
motion of Mr.. Keyes Of Reading who
said that these proposals were too inn
portant to be acted upon in hurry
and, since this was the first time the
House had had the opportunity to look
them over, he thought they should be
allowed to lie Tor the time being. There
was no objection to the motion.
The proposals are No. !, giving wom-
en- equal suffrage; No g. providing for
filling vacancies in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes; No. ., allowing an accused
man to waive trial by jury; No. 6, pro-
yiding that the legislature shall fix the
place for recording deeds and convey
ances, and No Is, making the legal
age for women 81 years.
The House had one of its longest
calendars Of the session and kept hard
at il all the morning, disposing Of
large amount of routine business and
refusing on several occasions to side
track measures which various mem
bers desired to have held up. The Sen
ate's calendar was not so long and this
BODY finished up its work about ii
O'Clock
The Senate passed H 55, providing
that father and mother shall act joint

The Senate. unlike the House,
showed a tendency to sidetrack meas
ures which threatened to incite debate.
In this way, II. l3l, providing uni
form law for grading apples, was re-
committed after some debate, also h.
50, relating to compensation q en-
ploves for personal injuries; H. 80
providing for the erection OF tablet
