Tho North Carolina house of rep resentatives today Tcfnscd to 'ratify the suffrage amendment by a vote of 71 to 41. Nashville, Tenn., Aug, 19. Soon after Judge T. p. B. Debow of the criminal court had asked the grand jury to investigate alleged lobbying in connection with consideration of the suffrage amendment by the state legislature, the house of representa tives adjourned today until Friday morning at 10 o'clock without re consideration of the suffrage amend ment., It was expected an attempt will be made to reopen the question at that time. In his message to the grand Jury Judge Debow said It had been re ported by suffrage ' supporters that "forces of corruption were operative." No names were mentioned. AFFIDAVITS PUBLISHED A Nashville newspaper today pub lished affidavits of two men. alleging an effort was made to bribe Represen tative Burn, who voted for suffrage on the final rollcall. At the same time four Signed statements were offered which declared " the story of the at tempted : bribery absolutely false. C C. Wallace of Lewisburar and K. E. Murray of Nashville in their affi davits charged urn was taken into a room opening off the house by Repre sentative Joseph Hanover, leader of the suffrage forces. Wallace asserted he understood Hanover to say Burn could get "anything he wanted" If he changed his -vote, and that "It. would be worth $10,000 to you." A similar story was told by Murray.

Representative Hanover said: "I have not directly or Indirectly of fered anything of value to anyone who supported the nineteenth amendment." He said the charge "Is ridiculous on Its face -and amounts to no more than a clumsy effort to blackmail or embarrass friends and supporters of the rights ot our women."

In the first place, the statement of Prime Minister Lloyd George, that the league can't function in the Polish dis pute because there is no unanimity of opinion in the council of the leas-ue. In looked upon with mine-led feelings of disappointment and satisfaction. -: Of course, critics of the league have been contending that the council of the league would constitute a super-government that could order American troops Into action at any time, and the con crete proof of that Is this is not quite the case when a dispute actually does arise.. MORAL FORCE EFFECTIVE ..On the other hand, while physical force cannot be marshaled unless all the nat Ions are unanimous, the believers in a league of powers have argued that moral force would have art overwhelm ing influence, and that Is exactly where the disappointment comes, for the Unit ed States would certainly have been ranged alongside Great Britain in in slating that the Poles stick to their own League Felt t K K (Ccncludad oa Face ThrM.
