FROST WAS ADVANTAGE
Development of Potatoes Stimulat
ed by Temperature Fall.
BEND, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.)
That the potato crop in Deschutes
county was benefited rather than
harmed by the frost of Tuesday
night was learned today in reports
received from a number of farmers
throughout the county tributary to
Lend.
While the tops of the plants were
cut off by the sudden cold, this served
the purpose, it was said, of stopping
the growth of that part of the plant
above ground and stimulation to the
development of the tuber, especially
as blossoming had already been com
pleted. Harm done hardy varieties of al
falfa grown in this section was negligible.

NASHVILLE. Tenn., Aug. 20. Suf
frage leaders were preparing tonight
to clinch their victory by closing to
morrow the last parliamentary loop
hole through which Tennessee's ap
proval of the federal suffrage amend
ment might be rescinded.
They were confident, after the ad
journment of its house today without
a vote on reconsideration, of their
ability to sweep aside the last ob
stacle to formal certification of the
action of the legislature to Secretary
Colby at Washington. ,
Opinions Vary in Both Camps.
Some parliamentarians, including
Attorney-General Thompson, contend
ed that today's action was final.
Others, Including suffrage adherents,
however, took an opposite view.
When the house met. Speaker
Walker was In a position to move
reconsideration, having changed his
vote to "aye" for that purpose. Under
house rules he could make that mo
tion in the next two days succeeding
the vote. . Today was the second day.
Attorney-General Thompson con
tended that Walker's failure to act
today settled the question of recon
sideration and that the resolution
now was ready for engrossing and
certification to Washington.
Must Be Disposed Of.
Others, however, maintained that
the motion stood on the journal as
a matter of record and unacted upon
and that to remove all doubt it must
be disposed of.
It was with this object in view that
the suffragists today defeated a mo
tion of the opposition to adjourn until
Monday afternoon and then forced ad
journment until tomorrow morning.
Judge Joseph Higgins of Nashville
president of the Tennessee Constitu
tional league, stated today he had
prepared to sue out a writ of Injunc
tion against Governor Roberts and
the secretary of state, restraining
them from certifying the resolution
to Washington on the ground that
this legislature was prohibited by the
state constitution from acting on the
amendment.

be heard from on the point, as party
officials have been informed that
adequate steps would be taken in all
others, the statement said.

fact that they -already had more or
less complete voting powers under
