VICTORY COMES AFTER TIE VOTE TO TABLE BILL (Continued from Page One.) wrath of the antis. Turner's unshaken stand by his pledge was cheered again and again by the packed galleries. The ratification resolution can not be reported to Secretary of State Colby until all chance of reconsideration is over so two days more of tremendous tension remains before the ratification is absolutely complete. It came at the close of ten days of the bitterest conflict ever held In the Tennessee legislature. during which suffrage opponents used every might and legislative trick to block ratification. It was freely charged by suffrage members that the ‘'interests'' had banded together to defeat the amendment. In fact Representative L. I). Miller of Hamilton county todav ehargd that the same wise interests which had controlled the legislature were on hand to block suffrage. • He asserted that the same men who had lobbied whatever they wanted through were in Nashville then to defeat ratification and appealed vehemently to the house to prove Its purity bv its ratification. Then it’was that Speaker Walker made an impassioned assault ou suffrage, ending by moving "that the resolution go where it has belonged to the table.” There was Instant turmoil. The vote would determine the fate of suffrage. * When the roll was called women began to sob. Most of the members cast their. aye or no in a conversational tone. When a ringing “no" came from a suffrage man who it had been feared bad wobbled the suffragists cheered to the echo. •- MISS PAUL ASKS COLBY TO ACT NOW WASHINGTON, Aug. IS.—An appeal to Secretary of State Colby to Issue the proclamation declaring . the suffrage amendment ratified was made this afternoon by Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the national woman’s party, and Miss Maude Younger.

SOVIET HURLED BACK INTO ROUT BY POLE DRIVE (Continued From rage One.) ment of the railway between Garvolln and geleUUf (southwest of Warsaw). Polish officers returning from the northern front report the Polish resistance stiffening there. Russian soviet authorities have forwarded authorization for foreign newspaper men to visit Minsk. Many of the latter prepared to leave for that city tonight. No news had been received of the peace negotiations there. Polish women soldiers are playing a conspicuous part in the Polish counteroffensive along the Warsaw-Danzig corridor. Press advices to London from Warsaw said the Polish army which gave battle to the Russians advancing on Thorn contained large numbers of women who fought side by side with the men, displaying the utmost bravery. The old trench systems dug by the Germans when they occupied W r arsaw in 1915 have been put in condition to withstand attacks and will be used by the Poles if needed.

A dispatch to the Times from Danzig said the British commissioner was reported to hare ruled that munitions ships en route to Poland would not be permitted to enter the harbor. Several were said to be approaching at the time the ruling was made. Another dispatch to the Times from Brussels said the Belgian cabinet had decided definitely not to aid Poland pending the outcome of the peace negotiations at Minsk. , At the same time the Belgians ordered back two munitions trains which attempted to cross the frontier en route from France to Poland. Before the British labor delegates. William Adamson, member of parliament, and Harry Gosling, leader of the English transport workers, were expelled from France, they were said to have succeeded in reaching an agreement with French workers on a Joint policy toward the Russo-Poiish situation. Their announced object was to organize in France a “council of action" similar to that in England, which has the authority to call a general strike, if necessary, to prevent war being declared on Russia. Expulsion of Adamson and Gosling from Paris caused a sensation in British labor circles, leaders declaring the action of the French government was “silly" and "stupid."

POLE DELEGATES HAVE PEACE TERMS BERLIN, Aug. IS.—Palish peace delegates have returned to Warsaw from Minsk bearing terms of peace, according to news received here today. Nothing could be learned of the alleged terms. Advices from members of the American mission in Warsaw, relayed by way of Posen, said the Poles had pushed the reds hack about ten kilometers In the vicinity of the capital, recapturing Rauxymlnd (ten miles north and east of Warsaw, on .the River Rzadza). The situation In the Lemberg sector was described as "unimproved." The Polish legation here claimed that Cieobanof has been retaken from the Russians. This was said to give tbe Poles an opportunity to cut off red forces west and southwest- of that city. A general atrtke in protest against the Polish Russian war was progressing in upper Silesia, it was reported here. Disturbances were said to have broken out in several places. At Kattowitz. the

crowds were reported to have attacked French cavalry, killing one trooper and a machine gunner. Nine of the attacking civilians were killed and twenty-six wounded. The French were withdrawn. The Polish envoys at Minsk made a tenacious fight against disarmament, demanding mutual disarmament of both the Polish and Russian armies, it was learned from a semi-official source. The Poles furthermore made vigorous protest against the- Russian demand for free transport- facilities across Poland. M. Danishevskv, according to a Minsk dispatch to the Manchester Guardian, informed the Poles the Russians did not intend to dictate peace, but were ready to listen to any Polish proposals. He added that the Russians were demanding tbdt the conference should lead to peace. DEMANDS LANDLORDS CEASE ATTACKS

LONDON, Aug. 18.—The Russian armistice and peace delegation at Minsk has submitted proposals announcing soviet Russia's intention of respecting the independence of Poland, but demanding that “the landlords of Poland give guarantees against renewed attacks on Russia,” said an official'statement issued by the Russo-Poiish conference and received froiil Minsk today. After preliminary conversations the Poles proposed that the conference adjourn to reconvene again Aug. 19. The Russian delegates protested and insisted the negotiations be resumed on Aug. 18. it was agreed finally that the parley should be renewed Aug. 18. The conference was opened by M. Danlshevsky, and the Russians began to state their terms at once. The negotiations referred to the official telegram from Minsk evidently took place Monday. JOYOUS POLES CALL AT WHITEHOUSE WASHINGTON, Aug. IS—Cheered by the news that their countrymen are turning back the bolshevlkl before Warsaw, a delegation of more than 100 Poles was here today for a call at the whltehouse. The delegation will ask President Wilson to provide aid to Poland In its war agalnstyhe Russian soviet. They Win be told, probably, it was learned here, that this country is now working along with other great powers to create a situation favorable to Poland; that, without the consent of congress, America can not extend armed aid. but that other tangible aid may be given. Interest here lies in what this country is doing to create a situation favorable to Poland. It was assumed in authoritative quarters that diplomatic negotiations were being carried on by the state department to bring the allied governments Into some agreement with this government against recognition of the bolshevlkl and against the dismemberment of Russia. Supporting this view was the fact that the French reply to the American note, outlining this Sttitude, has not been given out for publication. It is known this government it dissatisfied because France did not declare against dismemberment of Russia. Husband, Wife Found With Throats Slashed WACO, Tex, Aug. IS—Police today were investigating the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Watford, found in their home here with their throats slashed from ear to ear. Indications, police say. point to murder and suicide.

Dne-Half Million Builders of Gods Will

Dodge Brothers business has just reached and passed another milestone in its history. In a little over five years more than one-half million Dodge Brothers Motor Cars have been placed in the hands of owners. If this sales record represented the appeal of a price, the total would not be particularly impressive. The important thing is that the car is not thought of in terms of price, but in terms of va l le. How often you hear tb-j car spoken of —and how seldom the price' It is the quality of thought that surrounds it which makes this success roteworthy. Because people think well of these cars, it is still impossible for Dodge Brothers to build enough of them. Seldom has there been a finer example of the force of friendly thought*. It is an inspiration and an encouragement to build well —because the reward, in America, is so great and so sure. With nothing but good will toward them in American homes how could Dodge Brothers do less than they have done?

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNEDAY, AUGUST 18,1920.

INDIANA TAXES TO JUMP MORE THAN 3 MILLION (Continued From Page One.) paid in 1921 is $5,983,005,265, which will yield a revenue of $10,771,029.83^ This is in excess of the amount yielded to the state on the 1919 valuation by $421,909.54, and exceeds, the -revenue produced in 1919 on the 1918 valuation by $3,030,552.06. It is thought by the memoers of the state tax board that with the increase of the total valuation of taxable property In the state only a few slight changes will have to be made In the state levies when the board meets at its fourth session Sept. 20. However. If the tax board is compelled to increase the levy for the state highway commission from 3.9? the present levy, to 10 cents, then the state levy would be boosted from 18 cents to 24.1. With a state levy of 24.1 cents a total revenue of $14,321,211.69 would he returned to the state treasury. It is regarded highly improbable, however, by state officials that the levy for the highway commission will have to be Increased. When the total valuation of property in the state increases, then the total revenue is proportionately higher, and the tax levy usually lowered. However, while the total valuation of taxable property this year has Increased by a large figure over that of last year, no action has been taken by the state board to lower the tax levy ana the announcement is made 'that only slight changes, if indeed, any at all, will be made by the board at its fourth session, beginning next month.

‘SHINER’ AGAIN WRIGGLES AWAY (Continued From Page One.) until Just a few minutes before entering the courtroom. WANTED NO "HORSE PLAY.” “I don't wait anybody to play horse with me," said Justice Kiefer. “I am not playing horse," stated Joseph. After further argument in which several attorneys and the Justice were' speaking at the same time, the cases were continued until sept. 1. “I want a plea of some bind entered and the witnesses sworn," said Attorney Paul Wetter, representing the state. "That will prevent a change of venue being taken.” Joseph said that he would be ready to try the cases thi safternoon after entering a plea of not guilty for the defendants. “No not today,” said Justice Kiefer. "It takes time to get a go-id jury.” "We want a good Jury of representative citizens," said Attorney Little “We might have to hold the bearing in the courthouse," suggested Justice Kifer, as he glanced over hit crowded courtroom. The witnesses were sworn and ordered to report on Sept. 1 at 9 a. m. "Shiner” Middaugh said nothing, but allowed Attorney Joseph to obtain further delay. Attorney Joseph had a little chat with Justice Kiefer and during the tlon the justice said to Joseph, "You can't put It over on me." "I don't do that kind of business,” said Joseph. "Well, It can't be done here.” said the Justice. Shiner then made his departure from the courtroom under oath to return ou the morning of Sept. 1.

Nothing has checked or hindered for so much as a single week, the continued bestowal of this recognition and reward. T !ie eagerness to own the car is greater today than it ever ha3 been. The reason is not far to seek. Take first the mere numerical ownership. Remember that the satisfaction of one-half million owners is not casual, but deep and profound. by the average family of even three. Remember that all of these aro warm friends. Then think of that leaven of thought leavening the whole mass. You will begin to understand, then, why Dodge Brothers have been building new buildings ever since the business began. You will understand why the works in which the car is built are still steadily spreading and expanding. You will get an idea of how much men can do when the homes of America are solidly behind them.
