TENNESSEE TO FACE SUFFRAGE VOTE TOMORROW State’s Greatest Orators Prepare for'Spectacular Battle. SIDES PICK SPEAKERS NASHVILLE, Term., Aug. 12.—A second attempt to prevent action on the ratification of the federal woman’s suffrage amendment in the legislature was defeated today when a resolution which would have deferred action on the amendment until the. regular session of the legislature in January, 1921, was tabled without a record vote. NASHVILLE, Aug. 12.—The suffrage amendment to the federal constitution is scheduled to be voted on by both houses of the Tennessee general assembly tomorrow, according to plans of leaders in the fight for ratification. Tonight will be featured by a grim battle between eminent constitutional authorities on both sides before a hearing of the joint committees on constitutional amendments of the legislature. One result of the hearing is to postpone until some undetermined date the huge mass meeting suffrage opponents had arranged for at the Ryman auditorium. A display of legal acumen and forensic brilliance unequaled in the history of the statehouse is expected when the legal luminaries of the suffragists and antisuffraglsts uulimber their heavy artillery. It will hark back to the days of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster In the United States senate when constitutional probr leius occupied the minds of congress. The limitation of the matter subject to debate to the constitutionality of ratification by an extra session of the Tennessee legislature has prevented the argument of many other subjects which antl-ratl-fleationists had expected to use with telling effect, and is considered a suffrage victory. Both sides already have made tentative slates of their speakers. The suffrage cause will be presented by Frank M. Thompson, attorney general of the state, upon whose official ruling Gov. Roberts decided to call the extra session: United States Senator McKeller, William Guilford Dudley, Hon. James B. Fowler of Knoxville, who was assistant attorney general of the United States under the Taft adminlstratioli, and Charles T. Cales, former attorney general of Tennessee. Arguments that the state constitution inhibits ratification, despite the supreme court decision in the Ohio referendum case, will be made by Miss Charlotte Rowe of Washington. D. C., field secretary of the National American Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage; Judge Joseph Higgins, Nashville, president of the newly organized Tennessee constitutional league; Judge G. M. Tillman. Nashville. One other speaker represent the cause of the suffrage opponents; whether it will be Hon. Foster V. Brown of Chattanooga or Congressman Finis D. Garrett of Memphis has not been decided.

DEFINITE BREAK INDICATED IN PARIS PARIS, Aug. 12. —France definitely has broken with Great Britain on the Russian policy, acrording to all Indications today. The French press generally regards the decision of the French government to recognize the anti bolshevik de facto government of Gen.

French officials who have studied the American note on Russo-Polish affair* believe that the United States wilt support the French decision to give military aid to Gen. Wrangel'* antl-bolshevlk nrmy. “This Is the first time since peace was declared that France has separated from England on a question of Important factional doctrine,” the Echo de Pari# pointed out. Premier Lloyd George ia accused by the Matin of advising Poland to accept the peace condltlona of the Moscowsoviet government without consulting France and contrary to the agreement reached by the Anglo-French premiers at Hytbe. Acording to the Matin, France Is break ing off relations of every kind with the soviet and Its envoys In Great Britain. "Premier Lloyd George speaka of bis anxiety over the Russo-Pol.'sh situation, but it is no keener than the anxiety of France," said Le Figaro.

□ N E-HALF MILLION

LARGE INCREASE IN HOSPITAL FEES New Accounting System Swells Exchequer. Fees collected at the City hospital from the government for disabled soldiers, from patients who receive money under the workmen’s compensation law and from private citizens who do not desire to be considered charity patients were increased 3SO per cent during the first six months of 1920 over the same period lu 191S, Dr. Harry Foreman, superintendent, announced today. .The increase is due to the system Inaugurated and carried out by Mrs. Hetty Holtsclaw, private secretary to the superintendent. who is in charge of the hospital accounting system, Dr. Foreman said. ATTENTION GIVEN TO COLECTIONS. Until Mrs. Holtsclaw started the systematic effort to collect fees to which the hospital Is rightfully entitled the collections were nominal. In many cases In which the patient’s hospital bill* were to be taken care of through'the provisions of the workmen’s compensation act, the hospital never got the money because there was no one to /run down the circumstances of each case and asoertain whether the city wa entitled to the money. The hospital has also avoided the usual prolonged difficulties attendant upon collecting a bill from the government through the correctness and dispatch with which the processes required by the United States Public Health Service have been fulfilled, Dr. Foreman said. While collections of fees Jo which the hospital is clearly entitled have been Increased. collection# from private patients have been greater. , NO EMBARRASSMENT CAUSED PATIENTS. Dr. Foreman stated that this was due not to any attempt on the part of hospital authorities to make private patients feel like they had to repay the city, but because many patients have been financially able and have requested that they be permitted to pay at least part of the expense. Figure# compiled by Mrs. Holtschaw show that the total collection# for the first Six mouths of this year were $lO,344.13, a* compared with $’A716.29 for the same period in 1918, showing a gain ov $7,027.81. In July, 1918, $897.80 was collected, while $2,382.30 was taken In during the same month this year.

HOUSEWIVES FAVOR ECONOMY (Continued From Ft One.) better conditions of the market and reduce exorbitant price*. Mrs. William A. Ragan, secretary, read a report on the operation of two stands conducted on ihe central market by the league, showing the loss of over sll7 up to the time they were closed last month. "The stands were rouductsd during ten rijarket days, and after the first three times we found that we were losing money, since notio of the producers would sell to us except at a retail price," she said. "We also found that they not only would not sell to us at wholesale prices, but some would not sell at any price." Mrs. Hagan said that when It was learned the women were buying for tho Housewives' league, they would be told that everything was sold even though the wagon* were loaded. "Another element which added to our lack of success was tho fact that the wo’men of the organization would not serve on the stands," declared Mrs. William II Hurt, president. Mrs. Hart said that the club bad done a great many things during the short period of Its organization and could do a gr"Ht many icro if all the members would co-operate instead of criticising. Opinion was expressed by a number of tho women that tho action in closing the stands should have been decided by the league instead of the executive board. On this account the motion to accept tho treasurer's report for the operation of the stands was tabled until tbe next meeting. "In order to g#in fho best results," said Mrs. Powers, "there should be a referendum to tbe club members so that they can feel that they have something to say regarding the conduct of their club. “In this matter of tbe market stands the members at large had no voice in the matter, and I do not consider it fair in the executive board to keep the club in the dark in regard to the true stats of affairs.” In discussing the attitude of the commission men toward the Housewives’ league, Mrs. Hart said that she had received a letter from a commission man when the league was organized, in which he said that If tbe organization were formed to boycott the commiaslon houses they were ready for it.
