ENGLAND TO LIMIT
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
TO MIDDLE-AGED
Premier Admits Governmenfs
Plan I s Illogical and
Unjustified
By .Associated Press
London, March 30.—Premier Lloyd
George told a deputation of woman
suffragists yesterday that the govern
ment now is framing an electoral re
form bill, in which the recommenda
tions of the speaker's conference in
favor of woman suffrage will be incor
porated, out, he added the interpre
tation of the recommendation will be
left to the house. A majority of the
members of> the government, said the
premier, would support woman suffrage
and, he did not doubt, an overwhelm
ing majority of the house. lie urged
the women to be content with the pres
ent limitation of the vote to women
aged 30 or, alternatively, 35, as recom
mended by the conference, because oth
erwise there was no hope of general 1
consent.
The premier admitted that the limi- i
tation was illogical and unjustifiable, .
but expressed the conviction that once
women were enfranchised they would j
eventually get exactly the same fran
chise as men.
The indications are that the women's ,
leaders will adopt the premier's ad- I
vice. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst says
she is quite satisfied in view of the fact j
that the bill is an emergency measure |
and is willing to let the House of j
Commons decide.
German Submarines
Are Crusing Off U. S.
Shores, Ships Are Warned
Norfolk. Ya., March 30. German
submarines are in the Atlantic ocean, j
according to reports brought here by |
foreign merchant ships.
Warnings of the presence of these !
hostile craft were sent out as early as ,
last Monday by allied warships patrol
ing the coast, according to the reports. |
The position of at least one of the j
U-boats was mentioned in the warn
ing, but masters of foreign vessels j
arriving here decline to divulge It.
Kushel Brothers Open
New Clothing Store
Hyman Kushel and Capple Kushel. (
who for years have been identitied j
with various clothing stores in this
city, have formed a partnership and ;
will open a store at .10 South fourth
street. This store will be devoted to
clothing for men and boys, women
and misses. Interior fittings and plac- i
ing the stock is being completed to
day and to-morrow the store will be
opened to the public.
Spanish Revolt Was
Begun With a Strike
■Washington, March 30.—A revolu- :
tlonary movement, which resulted in j
the calling of a general strike, was
directly responsible for the suspension '
yesterday by Spain of constitutional i
guarantees, according to an official dis
patch received to-day by Ambassador
Ilia no from Madrid.
The government having arrested the
signers of the strike manifesto, is salt!
in the dispatch, now to be relying upon
the "common sense" of workmen and
the effectiveness of the measures taken
to preserve public order. The country
was quiet at the time the dispatch was j
sent.
SUGGESTS RAISING
TAXES FOR ROADS
[Continued From First Page]
recognizing the. need of extensive road I
and bridge improvements to meet the!l
increasing traffic, have no funds avail- |
able to do the work. Each year after I
expenses for maintaining the county j
are met there is a balance of approxi
mately $30,000. This is used for re- [
placing of old bridges with modern j
concrete structures. This leaves no
money for road improvements which
are also necessary.
Would Add $13,000
County Solicitor Philip S. Moyer
does not believe a loan could be sub
mitted to the people if the money it
would provide is to be used for road
work, and together with the county
commissioners will consider the ques
tion of increasing the tax rate.
By adding one-half mill at least,
$45,000 would be provided, which add- •
ed to the additional *30,000 surplus I
usually on hand, would give a fund of j
$75,000 for road and bridge work.
If the rate is increased one mill, i
$90,000 would be available it was
pointed out.
Although the question hasn't been
taken up officially by the commission
ers. the information given by Commis
sioner Hatfield has been carefully con
sidered in connection with the needed
improvements.
Because of legal difficulties which )
Solicitor Moyer predicted might follow. :
It is not probable that a vote will be ,
asked on a loan for the road and 1
bridge work, it is expected.

POUR OIL OVER MEAT
BECAUSE OF PRICES
[Continued From I'irst Pag**]
they said, were chiefly responsible for
the high prices. Windows were shat
tered and hundreds of pounds of food
stuffs destroyed. Women who entered
the shops to make purchases were seiz
ed. their clothing torn and their par
cels taken from them and thrown into
the street.
The rioting began early yesterday
and was kept up until the markets
closed late at night/ It is said that
a boycott of all Kosher butchers in
the city has been planned for to-day,
and to prevent rioting such as took
place last night, when more than fifty
persons were arrested, police officials
early to-day sent mounted and motor
cycle squads to the congested dis
tricts of the west side where crowds
are likely to congregate.
It was said by the police that the
disturbance was not duo so much to
the inability of the rioters to buy
food as to their desire to lower prices
by keeping others from obtaining it
and thus increasing tho supply.
