Application was made by Attorney A. D. Smith In behalf of Chnrlcs S. Fair child, of New York, president of the league. .Tustico Slddons Bald he could not consider the matter until counsel had presented authority under which he contended the court might act to re train the secretary of state from issu ing a proclamation announcing ratifica tion on receipt of certification of the action of Tennessee as thirty-sixth state. He suggested that counsel present such citations tomorrow, but Mr. Smith said this might be too late and Justice Slddons agreed to remain in his cham bers during tho day to consider the au thorities which counsel might later pre sent. This was the second attempt by tho league to obtain from the District Court an injunction restraining Mr. Colby from proclaiming tho ratification. The first effort was made last month before Tennessee had acted. Justice Bailey In dlimisslng tho proceedings held that tho court was without authority to inquire into the action of the state legislatures in ratifying the suffrage amendment, and that it had no authority to pass on the validity of such an amendment. An appeal to the Supremo Court of the United States was notod by counsel for the league. Suffragists today were hopeful that before evening the State Department would Issue a proclamation formally announcing ratification of tho federal suffrage amendment by enough states to make it effective. Official notification that the amend ment had been ratified by the Tennes see Legislature was expected to reach Secretary Colby during the day, dis patches from Nashville having reported that Governor Roberts mailed the cer tification notice to Washington at noon 7esterday. Secretary Colby recently an nounced he was prepared to issue the tuffrago proclamation as soon as he received official word of Tennessee's action. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 25. (By A. P.) Charging that votes were offered for sale in connection with Tennessee's ratification of the federal suffrngo amendment, Mrs. James 8. Pinehard, president of the Southern Women's Re jection League, in a statement issued here last night, declared the recent ac tion by the Tennessee Legislature would mako a black page in the his tor of politics of that state." "We were beaten, not by tho will of the people, but by forces which ran rough-shod over the people," asserted Mrs. Pinchard. "The ratification of this amendment means more than the defeat of the antlsuffragists. It means the defeat of the people of the nation bj methods of corruption too disgraceful to be chronicled here, nut over by wom en who have assumed to enter politics for tho purpose of purifying It. 'If the history of tho method by which ratification has been forced in Tennessee could be impartially written, It would make a black page in the his tory of politics of that state. I had personal knowledge that votes were of fered for sale. As tho official repre sentative of the Southern Rejection .engue, I was told of two men said to lave been bought with money' by the other sido who would for a little more money leave Nashville on n night train Ud not be present to vote the next nornlug.

' WOMEN VOTERS FERRY RATE RISE Camden's Mayor Seeks Legal Action to Stop Increase Effective Tomorrow BIG DIVIDENDS PAID NOW Strong protests ngninst jncrcasedj fares on the Delaware river ferries In the face of the high earnings of the operating companies were made today by residents of this city and Camden, including Mayor Charles H. Ellis, of that New Jersey city. Tho present charge of three cents on the ferries is to bo increased to four cents tomorrow with a boost in the price of ten-ticket strips from twenty five to thirty cents. Vehicle rates also are to be increased. Mayor Ellis ahounccd today ho will confer with City Solicitor Bleakley, of uamaen. on tna possiDinty or legal ac tion to block the fore boost. "I do not favor the proposed in crease," Mr. Ellis stated emphatically, "I believe corporations should have enough to live on. I favor fair rates and fair dividends, but when hi eh dlvi. dends nrc being paid the public foots the bill." Mr. Ellis says there is a question if tin I'unnc utilities uommlsslon of New Jersey lias jurisdiction over the fare in creases. They .are to bo placed in effect by tho ferry companies becauso of the nigiicr hire nward made to the rail roads by the Interstate Commerce Com mission. The Philadelphia nnd Camden Ferry Co., operated by the Pennsylvania Rail road Co., has been paying big dividends tor years, irom luou to 1003 tho nn nual dividend was 10 per cent. In 1004 the rate Iucrcnsed to 11 per cent in 1005 to 12 per cent, nnd iu 1000, i007 nnd 11)08 to 17 per cent. The leap to 20 per cent was made In 1000. The yenr following tho dividend fell to 12 per cent, but nt the snmo time n stock dividend of 37J6 per cent was declared. Tills Increased' the com pany's capitalization from 81,432.000 to $1.0(18,750. In 1011, on this increased capitaliza tion, a dividend of 15 per cent was pnid. It rose to 1(1 per cent in 1012, to 17 per cent in 1013 and 1014, and to 16 per cent in 1015. In 1010 it leaped again to 20 per cent. ' 100,000 Cross Dally It is estimated that 100,000 per sons cross the ferries daily. The one cent boost on straight fares will put an. additional $1000 a day in the coffers of the ferry companies, although the Philadelphia and Camden Ferry Co. has a big surplus. Figures compiled by tho Philadel phia und Camden Ferry Co. last Juno showed that automobiles were trans ported ucross the river at the rate of 520 an hour during busy periods, noli day rushes largely increase that fieure. A. J. County, vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and n director of the ferry company, suggested laBt December that the ferries bo bought or leased by tne state with passenger serv ice free. Ho made the suggestion on the ground that temporary free service would lie provided until tlie proposed Delaware river brldgo wns completed. An effort, wns made todnv to learn fiom .Mr. County why tho ferry com pany believed a higher fare necessary despite tne present nigh enrntngs. It wnn stated that Mr. County was not In tho city. Several years ugo a special committee Investigate,!! tne operation ot the rnila delphla and Camden Ferry Co. and re ported the finances In sound shape. Tho committee pointed to the largo dividends of recent years in reply to questions by stockholders rcgnrding certain leases, Frank L. Starr, who wns a member of the special committee, referred all inquiries regarding the increased rates to officials of the Pennsylvania Rail mad. Automobiles, wagons nnd vehicles of nil kinds come under the new rates. Automobiles with ono cross sent will pay twenty-eight cents instead of twenty-one, as at present; taurine car rntes win jump from twenty-six to thirty-five centN, nnd an extra seat will boost the price from twenty-nine to forty-two cents. One-horse wagons will jump front twenty-one to twenty-six cents nnd teams from twenty-six to thirty-five cents, Larger vehicles will meet in'oportlmiBtfiiicreajes.

Most of tho women willingly volun teered information and were enthusiastic over the prospect of going to the polls November 2 and casting their ballots. And most of the assessors reported a surprisingly good working knowledge of politics nmong the women they listed. Other women were obviously Indiffer ent over the successful culmination of the long and bitter campaign to en franchise women. Still others said thoy would like to vote and take an active part in poli tics, but were "too busy keeping the house in order." In the residential sections, particu larly in West Philadelphia and Over brook, the assessors found the women eager to be listed. A natural feminine shyness hampered the work of the assessors and caused much delay today, the beginning of a five-day canvass. The name assessor immediately conjured up undcslrcd in terference of some kind for women, nar- tlcularly in the downtown section, and in some instances tne assessors were told to "get away from here." Politicians Early on Job To illustrate how quickly the male politician is meeting the new situation, the assessor in the Seventh district of tho Third .word reported a score of women listed told him they had already been approached and asked to support a political leaner. The statement that she "wouldj vote for even a scarecrow if he wtre a Re publican" was made to Charles 8. Wil liams, an assessor in the Chestnut Hill district, by Mrs. Hazel Robertson, who lives on Ardlelgh street near Mermaid lane. "I don't think tho Democrat will do the country any good, so I am going to vote for Hnrdlng," she added. A neighbor of Mrs. Robertson also said she would "turn In" for Harding. She is Mrs. Waltci E. Thomas, 7815 Ardlcigh street. Is a Southern Republican "I believe that women should take an interest in thtr administration of their country and I am mighty glad wo have now the means of helping to run the nation," said Mrs. Thomas. "I was born south of the Mason and Dixon line, of n Democratic family, but I have ngrced with the Republican parry ever since I ivns old enough to think for myself. "I nm nn opponent of free trade. I feel the Republican pnrtv stands for better things for the welfare of this country than the Democratic party.

International Co-operation "I believe also that Senator Hard log's election will afford the surest way of securing our proper relation to In- tcrnationnl co-operation. This country muBt do its part, but it must reserve tho right to act in any future contin gency according to its duty as that con tingency reveals It. "Tho essentials in any really effec tive plan for international co-operation are to establish a tribunal of interna tional justice, where justiciable ques tions are ronrerned. to provide the inn chin cry of conciliation and to Nccurc the advantages of international con ferencc. -- "All this can be secured and I be lieve will be secured under the presi dency of Mr. Harding, without cunr nntces which attempt to commit ns In unknown contingencies and which will serve as trouble breeders and not ns peacemakers.
