Baton Rouge, La., May 10.—Rival camps of the suffragists—state and federal—were in battle array -today for the convening state legislature to act on ratification of the Susan B.

Miss Gordon expects Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky to be on hand for the fight of the ‘“‘state-righters.” HEART TROUBLE CAUSE OF MANY REJECTIONS Washington, May 10. -— Organic heart trouble causes the rejection of more than fifty per cent of recruits who fail to meet the physical require- ments of service in the U. 8.
