HOUSE PASSES PRESIDENTIAL SUFFRAGE BILL

Measure Giving Indiana Women Partial Vote Passes 90 to . 3.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 25. The Indiana House of Representatives yesterday afternoon passed the Johnson bill, giving to women citizens of the state the privilege of voting for presidential electors. The vote was 90 to 3. . Members voting . in the . negative were Charles H. Bldaman and John T. O'Neil of Terre . Haute, both Democrats, and Andrew H. Sambor of East Chicago, a Republican. Mr. Sambor opposed the bill, he said not because he was against suffrage for women, but because he thought the bill discriminated against alien women who have not completed their naturalization. The state constitution permits male aliens to vote after they have declared their Intention of becoming citizens. The bill will go to the Senate Monday. - . "In advocating the passage of this bill," said Representative Johnson of Gas City, the author, "I do not contend that the granting of suffrage will relieve many of .our: present political wrongs nor turn all our jails into chapels. Further, I do not agree that all women want the ballot. But if only one woman wanted to vote, and if it did not relieve a single wrong, I believe she should be entitled to the Tight to vote." Mr. Johnson pointed out that both political parties had indorsed suffrage and said he expected little opposition. No 50-50 Citizenship. "The time for fifty-fifty citizenship In this country has gone," Representative Johnson declared, -amid -general applause, In referring to the feature of the bill which demands full citizenship before a woman may vote. "This bill has not been presented in anticipation of action to deprive of his vote the alien who has only taken out his first papers, -but we should not go on record as sanctioning halfway citizenship. The women of Indiana are asking the privilege of voting. They should have it. The bill stands on its merits and should have your support." Representative Thomas of Corydon, Inquired If the bill was merely another plan to placate the women by holding out to them an empty compliment. "This thing happened two years ago and I want to know if this is merely a plan to deceive them again," he asked. "For God's sake, don't let's fool them, for they have won the right to vote."

WASHINGTON. Novel to the last degree is tho effect produced by the transplanting of Tarzan, the white eon of the African jungles, to the center of the most select American social circle in "The Romance of Tarzan," which comes to the Washington theater Sunday for a Three Day Run. Never before has this Interesting contrast between life in the most primitive form and in its most artificial and sophisticated phases been pictured In the silent drama. The forthcoming production gives the concluding chapters of "Tarzan of the Apes," that gripping narrative by Edgar Rice Burroughs, which made box office history in hundreds of theaters throughout the United States and Canada when recently given to the screen. Tho same pulse-stirring atmosphere of the unexplored jungles of the African Gold Coast, where wild animals and equally wild savages struggle for domination, is shown, with Tarzan as the ruling spirit, and in addition a strong love story leads this mighty hero into a maze of adventures in the great world beyond the ocean that touches the shores of his jungle home. Geraldine Farrar comes to the Washington theater Wednesday and

Thursday, In "The Hell Cat," second in her Beries of Goldwyn ( Pictures. The International celebrity ! promises to acquit herself magnificently in this production, every scene of which was made In the heart of the Wyoming Rockies. In "The Hell Cat," she Is Pancha O'Brien, the daughter of- a; sheep raiser, and ia half Spanish and half Irish. She loves and hates with equal abandon. Jim Dike, a cattleman, covets Pancha. She will have none of him tinwcvr because she loves Sher

iff Jack Webb. Dike determines that

this shall not stand in the way of his desires. Again and again Pancha rebuffs him. After he has shot O'Brien during a raid on his ranch, Dike approaches Pancha. . The elrl offers , furious re-

ranch ostensibly to go East, a posse da the buetrv. Dike lurches

forward from his seat, a dagger in his heart. Pancha proclaims herself his slayer and unworthy of the man she loves. - Clara Kimball Young, who .will be seen at the Washington Theatre, on Friday and Saturday, in "The Road Through the Dark," does not depart from her superb type of emotional acting in this picture. In fact, if possible, she is better. In it she takes the part of a young French girl who falls in love with an American. In order to keep them from marrying, her father sends her to the home of her aunt, who lives in a little village on the Meuse. The first few months of the war, which comes soon after her removal to the home of her aunt, finds her a captive." She has become the companion of a German officer in order to save the lives of a townful of people. It is the girl's associations with the officer, and the events which follow, with her as a spy for France, that furnish the plot for the story. It is a thrilling tale, and one in which Miss Young appears to great advantage. Miss Young's dark beauty and ex

quisite form are especially adapttM for the role of the vivacious and beautiful French girl which she portrays. Her, superb emotions carry you

throughout the picture. ' ' MURRAY Bert Lytell, the celebrated screen star, Is at his best in this stirring photodrama, "Hitting the High Spots," which will be shown by the Murray Theatre on Wednesday. "Hitting the High Spots" contains adventure, suspense and romance. It was written by Mr. Lytell himself. Bob Durland, the hero, braves the wrath of hostile Mexican insurrectos, , while trying to secure a concession to valuable oil lands for his prospective father-in-law. His chief engineer deserts him and returns home when the Mexicans begin to show "fight." He tells Bob's fiancee, Alice Morgan, that her lover is dead, and attempts' to win her for himself. Meanwhile, Bob has accomplished the seemingly impossible, and .makes a hazardous escape. The finish Continued On Page Eleven.
