UMPIRES HOLD MAYS AT FAULT FOR ‘TRICKERY’ Evans and Dineen Charge That He Resorted to Rough- ing Ball 10 years CHAPMAN’S BODY HOME Boston, Aug. 18.—The explanation by Carl Mays, of the New York Amer- cians, that the killing of Ray Chap- man, star shortstop of the Cleveland American League team, was due to a rough spot on the ball Mays pitch- ed which caused it to take an un- expected twist was the: subject of a statement issued today by Umpires. William Evans and William Dineen, of the American League. “No pitcher in the American league resorted to trickery more than Carl Mays in attempting to rough a bal: in order to get a break on’ it which would make it more difficult ‘to hit,” the statement reads. “Until the new. pitching rules came into force, which put a severe pen- alty on a pitcher roughing the ball Mays constantly used to drag the ball across the pitching rubber in order to roughten the surface. Hun- dreds of balls were thrown out every year because of this act. Poor Albi The umpires took notice of a re- mark attributed to Mays that Umpire Thomas Connelly, who was behind the plate, was responsible for the ac- ‘cident because he permitted a rough ball to stay in the game. The um- pires characterized this alleged state- ment as “an alibi” that came with poor grace from the pitcher. “A short time ago,” they added, “the club owners complained to President Johnson that too many balls were be- ing thrown out. President Johnson sent out a bulletin to umpires to keep the balls in the game as much as possible except those where were dangerous.” Awalt Speaker's Word The players of the Boston and De- troit clubs, who were at the point yesterday of signing a petition to have Mays banned from the game, today awaited word from Manager Speaker of the Cleveland club as to his opinion of the pitch which killed Chapman and his views on their pro- posed action. Several asserted that regardless of any general action they would not go to bat against Mays again.

Amendment B ears! ‘Name of Pioneer. in Fight for Equal Ballot, Washington, Aug.’ 18.—Ratification H of the suffrage amendment to the Con- stitution ends a struggle-which began in this country before the. Colénies de- clared their independence. jIt will eventually enfranchise -25,006.000 wo- men. Woman . suffrage first raised its voice in America in Maryland in 1647 when Mistress Margaret Brent, heir of Lord Calvert, demanded a place in the legislature of the colony as a pro- perty holder of wide extent. And in the days of the Revolution Abigall Adams wrote her husband John Adams at the Continental Congress which was framing the laws of the infant nation that, “if—in the new laws—particular } care and attention are not paid to the ladies, we are determined/to forment a rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound to obey any laws in which we have no voice.” Organized work for woman suffrage ; began in the United States with the | Woman's Right’s Convention in Sen- eca Falls, N. Y., 1848 in which was call- ed by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth! Cady Stanton, early leaders of Massa- | chusetts and New York, in response to the indignation aroused by ‘the re- .fusal to permit wamen to take part. in the anti-slavery convention of 1840. From the date of that conyention the suffrage movement in the United States began the fight that lasted sev- enty years and ended with victory. Another convention followed in 1852 at Syracuse, N. Y., at which delegates from Canada were present and it was there that Susan B. Anthony assumed leadership of the cause tojahich she devoted her life. ¥ J ta Body Formed-in. 1869" In 1869 the National Woman Suff- rage Association, with Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton at its head was (Continned on Page Three) TWO WOMEN IX MONTANA SEEK NOMINATIONS Contesting for Seat in Congress Formerly Held by Miss Rankin Helena, Mont., Aug. 18.—One wo- man in the republican primarles* and another in the democratic primaries on August 24 will contest with male aspirants for the respective nomina- tions for the seat in congress from the first Montana district formerly held by Miss Jeanette Rankin, first congresswoman.

TO 47 tion—Women Win.Universal Suffrage in Fall Elections Unless the Action of the Legislature Is Reconsidered—36th State Rat- ification Comes After Hard. Fight—Legislature Adjourned Un- til Tomorrow After the Vote SUFFRAGE LEADERS HOLDING A BIG CELEBRATION Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 18.—Ratification of the federal suf- frage amendment was completed today with favorable action by the Tennessee house. The vote in the house was 49 to 47. 4 The senate ratified the amendment last Friday by a vote of 25 to 4, Speaker Walker, in an attempt to have the action reconsid- ered, ‘changed his vote to “aye” and moved that such action be taken. Walker’s change of his vote gave ratification a majority of 50 to 46. Mr. Walker is privileged to call up the resolution for recon- sideration at any time within the next two days. Adjournment was taken until 10 o’clock tomorrow and suf- fragists launched a big celebration. WOMEN WORKER RRJOIGE AFTER RATIFICATION Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt Is- sues Prepared Statement on Suffrage Victory New York, Aug. 18.—Voicing the sentiment of many suffragists who have worked diligently to gain the vote for women, Mrs. Carrie Chap- man Catt, president of the American Sntfrage association, in a “prepared statement issued upon the zompletion of ratification, said: “Our mothers began it. So itvcame on to us, in a way, a sacred trust. And a great part of our rejoicing today in the hour of victory igs* com- pounded of our feeling of loyalty to the past and our satisfaction that we have stood faithful to its trust. “It was fifty years ago that the women of the National Suffrage as- sociation began what was to be a fiftv-year long campaign to get the Congress of the United States to pass a federal suffrage amendment. Con- gress had been importuned for the amendment. by the women even be- fore that, but 1896 marked the or- ganization of the “National” with the avowed purpose of securing suffrage by national legislation. Washington Lobby “From that day until June 4, the maintenance of a congressional lob- by in Washington to work for fed- eral suffrage was part of the pro- gram of the National Suffrage as- sociation. It meant ‘keeping up an unbroken chain of lobby work at Washington for over half a century “It was in 1878 that the amendment was presented to the 45th congress by the National in the form in which it was finally passed. .Twenty-two congresses were to have a chance at it in that identical form. Before twenty-two congresses the women of the National were to stand and plead for justice. Of those twenty-two con- gresses the Republicans dominated both branches -in eleven and the Democrats in four, while in seven the House was Democratic and the Senate was Republican. In this re- yelation of well-divided. long-continu- ed opposition lies, perhaps, the ex- planation of why women smile somewhat cynically today at all par- ty claims to a monopoly of merit in i rding the suffrage program. Never was a measure so systematical- ly opposed, never one whose progress was so vehemently disputed inch by inch. 26 Special Sessions “As with its passage, so with the ratification. Delay and obstacles have been the constant portion of the National Suffrage association in sec- uring the neefled 36 states. Because of the failure of the 65th Congress to pass the amendment, the measure had to go to the state legislatures in an “off” year. Only ten state could ratify in regular session. Twen- ty-six special sessions have had to be called to secure the full comple- ment of ratification. To get these special session called has been in itself a monumental work for the na- tional suffrage association, necessi- tating an interminable chain of let- ters, telegrams, and special personal emissaries. “Now that it is all over, the fecl- ing of “ceaselessness” is probably the sensation uppermost with us all. And perhaps it is just as well that it should be. For women cannot stop The National cannot stop. With a new purpose, the purpose of making the vote register for an improved citizenship, the women of the Na- tional are already lined up under 2 new name, the League of Women Voters.” 3 The first trans Atlantic voyage, entirely understeam, was made by the Royal William in 1833. | The change will become effective in time for the 17,000,000 women oters of the country to vote in the presidential elections this fall, unless the lower house of the Tennessee as- sembly rescinds the action taken in passing the bill. After passing the amendment the house adjourned until ten o'clock to- morrow. Suffrage and anti-suffrage force heightened their efforts for the final fight and both sides were claiming a victory. The suffrage forces have the advantage of today’s victory. The next step in the ratification of the amendment will be the certifica- tion of the action of the assembly to the secretary of the United States, who upon receipts of this will issue a proclamation declaring the amend- ment ratified. Fear Court Fight Suffrage leaders said there would be no slacking of -their efforts as they desire at least one other state to ratify the amendment, as they ex- pect a fight will be made’on the Ten- ressee action because of the clause in the state’s constitution saying that no assembly can act on an amend- ment not submitted before the mem- bers were elected. The Attorney General of the state has declared that this clause is un- constitutional. The action of the house is the culmination of a fight into which can- didates for the presidency and na- tional political organizations were drawn, On the action of the Ten- nessee legisJature, called into special session, rested the main hope of wo- men that they would win the ballot this fall. One by one the states of the union had ratified suffrage. Women saw their hopes for a vote this fall dy- ing when the Tennessee assembly was called into session. It is the 36th state to ratify. Three-fourth of the \states must ratify an amendment. to the federal ‘constitution. Suffrage is the 19th amendment. Nashville has been turned into a real battleground during the special session, which opened last week. NEW FIGHT IN N.C. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 18—Suffragist leaders predicted today that an at- tempt would be made, probably be- fore evening, to have the North Car- olina senate to reconsider the vote by which it decided to postpone ac- tion on ratification of the federal suffrage amendment unti) the next regular session of the legislature. he vote on postponement was 25 to 23. Suffrage supporters were taken off their feet when Senator Warren, the opposition floor leader, introduced the postponement resolution. Unable to muster their strength they saw the resolution adopted at the close of a day of bitter debate. Suffrage leaders attributed the de- feat to “weak kneed’” members who wanted “to get another word from their folks.” “The Warren resolution makes the question of ratification an issue in the general election here in Novemi- ber, and. suffrage opponents were shouting when they left, the senate chamber that they would “beat it again in November.” The blow came as a surprise to suffrage proponents. They had no advance word of the opposition’s plan of action and the postponement resolution went through before they could move to block its adoption. $30,000 FIRE RAGES IN FARGO Fargo, N. D., Aug. 18—Fire caused a loss of between $30,000 and $40,- 000 here this afternoon, destroying the warehouse of the Frank Lefts company ‘and the warehouse of the Fargo Iron and Metal company.
