journment early la October.
With this- kMnrletfee house and
senate leaders urged prompt action
on pending measures. The eleven
billion dollar bond bill went to conference today. Agreement on the
war tax bill should be reached late
this week. The urgent deficiency bill
should pass the house today. Both
houses will get together quickly on
minor differences over tbe war credits and trading with the enemy bills.
The senate reconvenes tomorrow
to take up the Webb export trading
hill, permitting American industries
to combine tn other countries to complete with the so-called "government
trusts" of other nations for trade.
The house committee investigating
defective ammunition begins hearings today, calling in experts and
chemists of the Frankford arsenal.
One of the biggest jobs ahead of
the president this week, is determination of a fair retail price on bituminous and anthracite coal. Schedules awaited his return. His proclamation is expected before Oct. 1. The
♦ president  also  will  pass on  recom-
♦ mendiation for state fuel administra-
♦ tors to work under Federal Adminis-
♦ trator Garfield.
♦ A gross margin of from $1.50 to
♦ $'.' per ton for retail coal dealers is
♦ understood to be favored by Fuel
Administrator Garfield. This margin
includes the retailers' overhead expenses, hauling charges and profit.
The consumer who carts away his
own coal probably will receive a
slight reduction.
The federal trade commission,
closely allied with Garfield in control over the coal industry, haa repeatedly held in its anthracite retailing investigations that $2 per ton is
ordinarily an ample gross margin."
These investigations have shown that
many retailers   earned   satisfactory

Indianapolis, Sept. 17.—The nine-
tenths woman suffrage bill passed by
the last legislature was today held
unconstitutional by Judge Kochford
in Marion county superior court. It
will be appealed to the supreme
court. The judge granted a permanent restraining order preventing enforcement of the law.
Judge Rochford held that the legislature has no right to grant suffrage power unless the power is conferred by the constitution and he
held that this power Is not conferred by the basic law.
In making his decision, the judge
declared that it would undoubtedly
be a  hardship    to    prevent  women
from registering at this time as his
decision would undoubtedly be appealed./He suggested that attorneys
agree on some method of permitting
women to register until the higher
court makes its decision. The suggestion was approved by attorneys
for  both  sides.
"The privilege of voting being a
constitutional grant, can only be altered by constitutional action," the
jurist held. "Suffrage is not an inherent or natural right and is not a
necessary   Incident  to   citizenship."
''It is a privilege possessed by
those to whom it is granted. In
this state the right of suffrage Is
governed by the constitution and not
by statutory regulation."
