W. YA. SENATE AGAIN REJECTS SUFFRAGE

CHARLESTOWN, W. Va., March 4 The West Virginia legislature, through negative action of the senate declined Wednesday to ratify tho federal suffrage ammendment. After the senate had failed this afternoon to reconsider its action of Monday hy which ratification of the federal suffrage amendment failed by a tie vote, the house of deegates tonight, following two hours and a half of debate, voted for ratification, 45 to 42. Two delegates later changed their votes from no to yes and the official vote of the house was 47 to 40. , Regardless of the action of the house In ratifying the amendment, however, it cannot be considered further in the senate at this session, adjournment of that body having- been taken for this, the last day under which it could act on reconsideration, under constitutional rules. The senate did not meet for more than an hour after the time set for convening, and meanwhie there was a conference of leaders, in which efforts were made to win over at least one of those opposed to ratification. Every effort failed, however, and the voto to reconsider stood 14 to 14.

The Theatres

WASHINGTON Across the public square shot a torn and bleeding man, five hundred frantic women in hot pursuit. His shirt was ripped in threads, his face cut, and in his eyes was the wild look of the haunted creature. He sprang nimbly upon a platform above the heads of his pursuers. They gave an exultant cry as they saw him approach the two cylinders in which his fate was concealed. A husky young female leaped up beside him and started to draw the fatal papers from the glass. With fascinating eyes But this Isn't one of those French detective stories. It's just to give a faint Idea of the wild predicament into

which Wallace Reid's rashness precip

itated him in "The Lottery Man," which will be the attraction at the Washington theatre today, Friday and Saturday. The athletic young star has a role of Jack Wright, who, to pay a dept of honor and to make a fortune for his devoted little mother, volunteered to raffle himself off as a husband for a dollar a chance. He repented of his bargain when he fell in love with a pretty girl, but it was too late.. To win the girl and the fortune too, requires all of Mr. Reid's quick wit and nimbleness and results in one of the most hilariously entertaining films in which the popular star has yet appeared. RICHMOND; Alice Joyce, it is conceded, scores her greatest screen triumph in "The Lion and the Mouse," which will be ceen in the Richmond Theater today. The story was written by the late Charles Klein, and the picture is adapted from the famous stage success of that name. MURRETTE. Mr. Brown was a newspaper reporter on a great New York daily. His

one ambition in life was to write a speaking stage play that would be wonderfully different from anything done before, and that would live for ever. He conceived. the idea of transforming the old morality play, "Everyman," the product of the fourteenth century, into an elaborate modern counterpart. But to make it more interesting he gave the feminine character the lead and called it "Everywoman." The idea of the play grew in his brain and became a vital, living thing. He worked upon it feverishly for years writing, revising and poliphIng. It became a very obsession with him, and his life was bound up with its success or failure. At last it was finished and in th? manager's hands. The latter saw its immense possibilities, and at once went about the staging, Mr. Brown assisting. The author worked or weeks upon Its preparation, attending rehearsals, supervising details and throwing all

of his energies into the work. He helped in the selection of the cast, the construction of the immense settings and the cuting and final revision of the play. Finally all was ready and Mr. Brown knew the joy of the man about to realize his heart's desire. But on the very night of the premier performance he was stricken with heart disease and died. He' did not know that the first night's audience avowed it one of the greatest successes of all times and that on the following day the whole theatrical world was talking of its splendors, its great hu

man interest and the moral it drew.

In the motion picture form, played by an all-star cast, it is starting today at the Murrette theatre. Eight reels in length. It tells the absorbing story of "Everywoman" with great dramatic power and an exceptional appeal to the human instincts.
