BLOCK WINS VICTORY. Charleston, W. Va., March 11— ; State Senator Jesse A. Bloch of i 1 | { Wheeling completed his 3,000-mile racing trip across the continent from California to Charleston early yest- erday morning in order to vote on the Federal suffrage amendment in the senate of the West Virginia leg- islature. The senator was given an ovation when he appeared on the floor. Crowded gallaries cheered and an enthusiastic woman friend of the amendment made her way to his seat and pinned a yellow flower on his coat. *I expect to carry out the purpose for which I came to Charleston,” Senator Bloch told senators and cor- respondents. “‘I voted for suffrage several years ago when the. legisla- ture considered the question of sub- mitting it to the people as an amend- ment to the state constitution.

Mara- thon speakers have heretofore.con- sumed large quantities of ice water. They’ve gone without lunch and end- ed their speeches all fagged out. Reed, starting on an attack on the league of nations, several hoiirs in length, gave a standing order to a page to he kept supplied with black coffee. Some of the ‘“‘old ladies” of the senate didn’t like for Jim to turn the old senate chamber into a coffee parlor by having it served to him at his desk, but Reed, who glories in tae shattering of precedents didn’t give a whoop and told them so.
