Butterick Patterns for August Now on Sale SUFFRAGE BILL IS GIN LARGE VOTE F ELKS OF PORTLAND TENDERED OVATION FAMOUS ENGLISH AVIATOR WHO FELL WITH HIS AIRSHIP TO DEATH. W. B. Corsets W. B. Corsets Commons Passes Measure to Second Reading With Ma jority of 109. ACTION IS THEN SHELVED Property Qualification Is Provided, and This Feature Is Source of Objection . by Opposition. Asquith Makes Speech. LONDON, July 12. The House of Com mons, by a vote of 299 to 190, tonight passed the second reading of the woman's suffrage bill for which David James Shackleton, labor member from the Clltheroe division of Lancashire, is the sponsor. The bill provides for granting the par liamentary franchise to women who have property qualifications and who already exercise the franchise in municipal elec tions. The unprecedented large majority of 109 gives an Impetus to woman suffrage, but many obstacles must yet be overcome before the principle Is legalized by the necessary majority of 145. The House subsequently referred the bill to commit tee of the whole. This means that the bill will be shelved until next year. Dill Meets Objection. The interesting debate showed that many leading men. Including Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary of the Home Affairs, and A. J. Balfour, leader of the opposition, who favored the principle of woman suffrage, objected to the present bill and contended that the whole country must pronounce Unreservedly in favor of women voting before Parliament sanc tioned such a change in the constitution. Premier Asquith, In a strong speech against the bill, declared that if women had a vote, they must inevitably have seats in Parliament . and might take the , Speaker's chair or sit In the Cabinet. Women Gather to Hear Result. Mr. Balfour contested this view. He said that it was not government by con sent to exclude a large class of the com munity from voting. Chancellor Lloyd George, as a strong supporter of woman suffrage, said if the promoters of the biii would promise to reintroduce the bill in an acceptable form he would support It. Austin" Cham berlain opposed women's suffrage in any shape or form. A great crowd of suffragettes awaited the result of the vote outside of the House, but there was no disorder.

Revolution 1-ke, Declares One of Prisoners, Who Kxpected to Re ceive $20,000 Plan to Break Market by Speculator. HAVANA, July 12. The purpose of the conspiracy for which the mulatto. Colonel Jorge Valera, and his associ ates were arrested yesterday, was to compel American intervention, accord ing to the government's information. The Secretary of the Interior has is sued an official statement that it was learned some days ago that it was de signed to blow up bridges and rail ways, and destroy property of foreign ers with the hope of compelling this result. The suspects, being poor and ignor ant and .most of them negroes, the Sec retary believed they were acting under the instigation and orders of persons of superior intelligence. Further In vestigation resulted in the discovery that the ' .suspscts were in constant communication with a stock broker whose name Is unknown. Stockbroker In Deal A description of him has been ob tained and the police are making a search for him. The arrests were delayed until the four conspirasors had started for Viaja Bremeja, whither a trunk containing arms and dynamite -had been shipped the same day and where, it is believed, they Intended to begin operations. When arrested, one of the conspir ators, named Valeriano Pico, made a: voluntary statement declaring that the whole conspiracy was a fake and mere ly an attempt to make a pretense of uprising. Its purpose, he said, was not to cause American intervention, but simply o break the local stock mar ket by committing some damage not serious to property. Only four persons were concerned In the conspiracy, he said, the rest of the eight arrested knowing nothing of the plot. Government Agent Accused. The prisoner further declared that the plot was first suggested by an agent of the government, who informed him he knew an individual willing to pay Pico and his four comrades $5000 each, and to furnish explosives if they would go into the country and start a fake revolution. The government agent declined to give the name of his principal, but as sured Pico he was connected with the Bourse and desired simply to depress the market. A few days later three conspirators started for the scene of operations, Pico remaining in Havana to receive the promised $20,000. According to a statement made to Vlcento Blanco, who i professed to have some knowl edge of the conspiracy, Pico informed him that Senor San Miguel, the editor of La Lucha, was the person financ ing the conspiracy. The authorities apparently attach no importance to this charge as Senor San Miguel sailed for New York yesterday. HUGHES AND T. R. MEET (Pontlnued From First Fage. We discussed direct nominations. That is all I can say." Woodruff's Visit Important. The general opinion is that the first tangible results of tonight's conference will not .be made known until the Initial steps In the programme outlined by the Colonel and Governor Hughes are taken.

"The developments in the last year," said Dr. Wiley today, "have accenuated my opinions as to the harmful" charac ter of benzoate of soda as a food pre servative.
