Efforts to bring the house resolution propos ing submission of the Susan B. An thony equal aulfrage amendment to the constitution to a vote in the sen ate today failed. ; After three hours of preliminary debate and jockeying the resolution was withdrawn, with a promise that next week the fight would be forced to a conclusion. Some of its sup porters, however, expressed the be lief that this action might be post poned Indefinitely Charges that ? unfair advantage was sought were exchanged by lea ders on both sides. r Opponents as serted that a vote -today was being demanded because Senator James of Kentucky, was unable 'to be present and could not secure the customary privilege of being paired. Managers of the resolution charged its oppon ents with filbusterlng to prevent a vote because, with Senator James absent, they lacked votes to defeat the resolution. Pate Indefinite The date next week on which the resolution will be called up. Senator Jones said tonight, depends upon clearance of, appropriation and other bills in preparation for the recess. Positive of having a majority of the senate, at least, he and other suff rage leader declared would prevent a recess until the res olution is disposed of and expressed confidence of its final adoption. Few set speeches on the resolu tion were made. Without object ion the senate debate proceeded un til 2 o'clock, when the army appro priation , bill automatically was laid before the senate. Senator Jtfnes then moved to set it aside and pro ceed with the suffrage resolution. Senator Reed of Missouri, in the " debate on the, motion, declared re fusal of the suffrage leaders to ar range a pair for Senator James dem onstrated that "the first fruits of suffrage are to set aside courtesies and decencies" of senate procedure and then spoke for nearly an hour and a-half, but mostly on the army bill. - ' - --' . Trie to Force Voflf .

While there Is good reason to be lieve that the American forces in Italy will be augmented considera bly later .today's announcement ap pears to make it certain that no di rect movement from the United States at an early date is planned. It is known the suggestion has been considered that the Italian expedi tion be made an entirely Independent one of General Pershing's although equally under the direction of Gen eral Foch as supreme commander.

It prohibits the sale of distilled spirits and the manufact ure of wine or the removal of liquors now held In bond after June 30, 1919. The manufacture of beer would be stopped three months after passage of the bllu Three Hoar Session The amendment was proved by the committee, at a - three-hour session. during which opponents made futile efforts to have it amended so as to permit the manufacture and sale of beer for six and then four months after enactment. Efforts to have the committee recommend passage of prohibition legislation in a sep arate measure also were unsuccess ful. -Chairman Hurley and Balnbrldge Extensive hearings on the question of prohibition during the war were held by the committee. The pro posal was opposed and approved by high government officials and others. Chairman Huiiey and Brainbridge Colby of the shipping board were among the chief opponents, because of the effect they feared the taking of beer from the workmen would have on the shipbuilding industry. Secretary Daniels disagreed with the view of shipping board officials. Mr. Daniels, who did not appear as an advocate of prohibition, but at the request of the commute, said that after the sale of liquor was prohibit ed around the Mare Island navy yard and the Newport torpedo station, the workmen showed greater efficiency. tne output of both plants Increasing ESTABLISHED PENSIONS NEW YORK.

France, when she ad dressed some 200 people who gath ered In the auditorium at the public library last night to hear her talk on the army canteen service. Miss Stuart passed fifteen months In France, where she was stationed first at a railroad center near Paris, Le Rourget, and later In a hospital in Itambervillers In the Vosges. She Is a Canadian girl from Victoria, a slender, wiry little woman, very no-' assuming In her general bearing, but very forceful and convincing In her speaking. The moment she stepped upon the platform last night and began to tell In her soft British tongue, stories of the boys "over there", of the struggles of France, the repopnlatlng of the devasted lands all the things she had seen with her own eyes the audience was hers. Even after she had fin ished with a sincere apepal to the smallest to do his share the peopie were hardly willing to go. They wanted to hear more. 4 ' ' War Is Common pUre. The speaker launched into her story at once. "After 1 had been over there a short time." she said, -it wasat war things that seemed most wonderful. Up In that country In tte Vosges where one could see that ominous glow on the horizon at night and the al rralders were constantly flying above, one very soon became accus tomed to the background of war." She told of the little villages with not one wall lert standing la them, and with every belonging In them that could not be carried off delib erately destroyed by the invaders. "Where the Germans have been push ed back," she went on. "the peasants have returned to their lands and are living there. They haven't had time to build houses but have put in their crops' and are somehow getting along. Many of them have been there through it all. living In cellars and creeping out in the dead of night to hoe a bit of land and sprinkle in (Continued on page 6). T: F.

Varney has been working on the case and when Rho den was located at Oakland Varney caused his arrest. Rhoden wired that he desired to be released oa bail and this was fixed at $1000 through arrangement with authorities in Sa lem.
