The eternal question mark has been
placed opposite the woman voter by
the national headquarters of all par
today-now that three primary cleo
tions have been held-about the way
women will vote next autumn than
was known two years ago. except
one thing. and that's independence Of
judgment
Figures are not available. The
states do not keep track of votes by
sexes. The political organizations
are trying to check up the number
of women who voted in each primary,
but there's no way to tell. for in
stance, how many republican women
voted for Alter in Pennsylvania as
opposed to Pinchot for governor. or
how many preferred Beveridge to
New in Indiana. But every bit of in
formation from those states of gen.
eral character, and that means the
statements of successful and unsuc-
cessful candidates, indicates that
women took part far beyond the ex-
pectations of any of the political
sharps

In other words. woman has the bal
lot and now intends to use it in pri-
maries as well as elections. The ef-
feet on American political parties is
already being estimated, not, however,
from any table of statistics. but from
a judgment of woman nature. Women
may here and there have party pref
eIences based upon tradition or en-
vironment, social or otherwise, but
in the main the conclusion is being
reached by those who have studied
the question that women are an inde-
pendent unit in the electorate. Or
ganizations like the National League
of Women Voters and the National
Woman's Party, have sensed this
tendency and remained intact, not

Both the republicans and democrats
have attempted to organize the
women. but with relatively little sue
cess. Women have identified them
selves with the parties, but they have
shown little sign of becoming thick
and-thin party supporters. The way
they helped the revolt in Pennsyl-
vania and the way they disregarded
the organizations wishes in Indiana
is proof sufficient that women will

Efficiency and Coordination
Do Away With Need for
Eight-Hour Day.

The campaign of coordination OF
work and elimination of lost motion
in the Interior Department is esti-
mated to have resulted in net saw
ing for the current fiscal year OF
s936,41604, according to a report sub
mitted to the President by Secretary
Fall. According to officials of the
department, this record would show
there is no need for an eight-hour
working day in this branch of the
government service.
Employees of the department have
been enabled to turn out far more
work by coordination, cooperation
and increased industry of employees,
liberalization of practices through
decisions and rules. elimination of
lost motion and duplication of work

set forth.
More Claims Handled.
Concretely, the cost to the govern
ment of disposing of a claim for a
pension has been reduced from $17.6o,
the figure for April of last year, to
s11.50 for April of this year. With
thirty-six fewer employees the PEN
sion bureau during the first eight
months of the current fiscal year has
disposed of s2,5S7 claims, compared
with an output of 53,19I claims for
the first eight months of the preced-
ing fiscal year.
Classified by bureaus the following
net savings are estimated to have
been brought about by the campaign
Of cooperation introduced by Secre-
tary Fall: Solicitors office. $44 4,01S.04;

$66,612, total of $s36.416.04.
the general land Office performed
with the same appropriation 35 per
cent more work this year than last,
thus effecting considerable cash
saving.
Less Current Claims.
Current claims at the pension Office,
which totaled nearly 100000 during
January, 1922, have been reduced to
less than 10000 and the reduction is
still going on, until it is hoped that
the number of pending claims may
be reduced to below $4,000. This, ac-
cording to Interior Department off,
cials, has been brought about with a
slightly smaller working force and
with approximately the same appro-
priation as during the last fiscal
year-about $64.000,000.

MANAGUA,. Nicaragua. May 21.-A
revolutionary movement broke out
here today against President Diego
Manuel Chamorro, band of rebels
seizing fortress Iona, commanding
this city. Upon representations from
the American minister, John f. Ra-
mer. however the revolutionists later
agreed to turn over the fort to the
commander of the American marines
at 10 o'clock tonight, to be given
back to the government.
The capture of fortress Iona was
effected at noon, under command of
Gen. Arcenio Cruz, who took the po-
sition by strategy in the absence of
the commander. Other leaders of the
revolutionary movement are Adam
Carton and Salvador Castrillo. All
are prominent conservatives, but are
of the faction opposed to the present
government.
Rebels Reply Friendly.
AS soon as news of the capture of the
fortress was received the American
minister sent a letter to the commander
of the rebellious troops. The reply
stated that the rebels were friendly
to the Americans and that their pur-
pose was to cause the resignation OF
the president and a change of the pres
ent cabinet.
The American minister answered,
stating that If the fort fired upon
Campo de Marte, where the American
marines are stationed, or upon the city,
the fire would be returned by the ma
rines. He also proposed that Gen. Cruz
send three representatives to the Amer
lean legation to meet three representa-
tives of the government for joint
conference.
Mr.. Ramer then communicated by
wireless with Rear Admiral Cole of the

he was within 900 miles of Nicaragua
