SUPREME COURT IS
ASKED TO NULL|F.
EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
TWO ATTACKS LEVEllED AT
WoMAN's RIGHTS FIND THEIR
WAY INTO NATIONS HIGHEST
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
is AsSAiLED.

Washington, Jan 24.-Two cases
challenging constitutionality OF the
wOman's suffrage amendment reached
the Supreme Court yesterday for oral
argument. One Is brought by Charles
S. Fairchild Of New York against the
secretary OF state and the attorney
general, in behalf of himself and the
American Constitutional Union. The
other Is brought by Oscar Lesser and
others from Maryland state courts
holding the amendment constitutional.
The Fairchild case seeks to compel
the secretary of state to withdraw the
proclamation announcing ratification
of the amendment and to restrain the
attorney general from enforcing it on
the ground the amendment was not
constitutionally adopted.
The pl".ntiff contends that amend
ments alfecting the right of suffrage
can only be given force by a vote OF
the people and not by ratification by
state legislatures. The government
maintains the court should dismiss
the suit because it is not brought by
persons having any direct interest
and, further, because, If requested re.
lief is granted, withdrawal of the proc.
lamation announcing ratification
would have no effect upon ratification.
In the Maryland case two women
claim they were denied the right to
qualify as voters on the ground that
women suffrage "dilutcs" and multi.
fies" male votes, and that the amend
ment had not been constitutionally
adopted.
The government questions jurisdic.
ton of the court to consider the case
on the ground that state courts had
sustained constitutionality of the law
and that those who bring the appeal
have not rights at issue which justify
the court in recognizing them.

FIRE DESTROYS BLOCK
OF SEATON STORES

An entire block, with the excep-
ton of one building, in the business
section of Seatonville, was destroy
ed by fire early Sunday morning. The
loss, which in most cases is complete
is estimated at approximately $10-
600.
AS Seatonville has not water pro.

very little to combat the flames,
which spread rapidly. The Peru fire
department was asked to aid, but
upon being informed that no water
could be procured did not make the

of the buildings was known as the
Parker-Smith building. The Griffith
family, who lived in this building,
lost everything and barely escaped
with their lives.
Mr.. Barto, who ran the soft drink
parlor, suffered the loss of most of
his property. The Knights of Pyth-
las lodge rooms were on the second
floor of one of the destroyed build
ings. The lodge suffered a heavy
loss.

the blaze.

To HURRY
BUILDING Of NEW
100000 HOTEL
Company Expects to Have

Next Summer.

Butte, July 3.-After several years
of talk of q new hotel in Butte, one
that would accommodate q large mum
Der of people and be up to date and
modern in every respect, a meeting was
held recently by a committee appoint
ed about a month ago, reported every
thing in readiness for the project. and
that the hopes OF Butte c~itizens would
be realized within a short lime The
approximate cost of the new hotel will
be $1,000, 900.
With the Finlan hotel site at Broad
way and Wyoming streets selected as
the location for the hotel. the com
mittee in charge of the project has
started the work of developing plans
with the idea of having a fi~reproof
hostelry containing at least 300 rooms
in operation by next summer TILE
grams were sent to a number of con
struction companies and experts in the
east, inviting a visit to Butte for the
purpose of making an estimate as to
the possible cost. This, it is stated.

or contractors will be shut out. for the

figures and data on the latest hotel
construction that will serve the com
mittee in financing the undertaking.
The financing of the project, it is
understood. involves only the actual
construction of the building. James
Finlen has agreed to turn over the
hotel site bearing his name at a figure
which will approximate S125.NO and
to accept payment in the stock of the
new hotel company which is now being
formed. 1t was learned that the hotel
had already been leased TO Mr.. Finlen
and Maurice Weiss. who agreed to
take it over the moment il is com
pleted, and to furnish it throughout.
The cost of furnishing is estimated
at 100000. AS far as the hotel cor
poration is concerned it will not be
required to buy any Of the equipment.
The offer to lease the hotel was made
Wednesday by Mr.. Finlen. who agreed
on behalf Of himself and Mr.. Weiss. to
take a Is year lease. Both men ale
