1 T* U GOVERNOR ROBERTS' ASKS RATIFICATION: SENDS SPECIAL MESSAGE TO TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE Parley Christensen Slams Rcpubli- , cans for Action Regarding f Question. Nashville, Aug. 0.?Prompt ratifi-1 cation of the federal woman suffrage amendment in order that the women of the country might "share in shap- i ing the destiny of the republic,'' was urg*ed by Governor Roberts today in his message to the Tennessee legis-; lature which met in extraordinary session to act upon the measure. Citing declarations of the Republican and Democratic national and state platforms in favor of woman suffrage and declaring tliat platforms adopted are "accepted as party law and are so regarded as sacred hv members of those parties ~ elected upon such platforms" the governor said that "no party man is without party law to support his action in voting favorably upon this * i amendment." The senate and house both ad- \ journed until tomorrow after an j hour's session and without the intro- j i duction of the ratification resolu-: tions. Leaders said these probably wouid be offered tomorrow and would be referred to the judiciary committees which, if inclined to do so, would conduct hearings. j A vote in either house was not regarded as probable before the end of the week at the earliest. Republicans Hold Caucus. Republican members of the senate j and house held a caucus at which the leaders were raid to have told the caucus that political expediency j demanded that the Republicans sup port ratification. ! Parley P. Christenscn, presidential nominee of the Fatmer-Laboi party, j in a formal statement tonight de- i clared that failure of the Republi- ! cans to endorse the amendment was' "a direct betrayal by the Republican; party's platform pledge for woman . suffrage and Senator Harding, Will Hays and their associated Republi< can leaders must plead guilty to tho j betrayal. * * "Among the secret influences rep-; resented here are Senators Brande-' gee of Conncticut and Moses of New ; Hampshire,'' Mr. Christenscn charg- j ... ed. "These gentlemen had a lot to say 4-v.rt nno Tintol conference ' ill U1C JL/JOVnCKWI?v ?v>v , that picked Senator Ilardin.e: as the ! Republican nominee at Chicago, j Ratification by the Tennessee legis- j lature would mean that the women ; of New Hampshire and Connecticut! would vote in November and Brande- j gee and Moses have excellent reason j to fear that they would suffer there-; by, inasmuch as both of them, candidates for reelection, have constantly opposed woman suffrage. Senator Harding Will jiot be the means of defeating these friends of his if he can avoid it. Harding Could Assist. "Senator Harding could save the situation for suffrage by coming j here, taking his coat off and pushing j the amendment through his party j caucus in accordance with his party j pledge and his own personal utterances. The Democrats could not afford to kill the amendment if Harding showed the Republicans to be solid for it. Governor Cox would be / forced to remove the obstructions." Claims and counter claims flew thick and fast tonight with the suffragists declaring the amendment would be ratified and the antis claiming it would be defeated. Seventeen votes in the senate are necessary for ratification. In the house, however, ? * "A ? i - on the membersnip 01 yy mciuaes u Kepublicans.

Boston, August 9.?Action to i check the business dealings of j Charles Ponzi, who claims to have made millions through international nnstal pvrhanp-p. was taken today . through an involuntary petition in < bankruptcy filed by three men who hold notes totalling $750, and by Bank Commissioner Joseph C. Allen, who ordered the Hanover Trust company to pay no more checks of Ponzi or his agents because of an alleged overdrawing of accounts at that bank. / J An increased activity in federal j nri rl lrtne iroc olcn rint. VVV?WV ?it? VV CIO Ui.'V | ed. Attorney General J. Weston Al-: len gave out a statement which charjr- j ed that inquiries by state offic ials; had thus far failed to confirm I'onzi's j claims that he has dealt extensively, in international reply coupons. I - Late in the day Ponzi was closet- \ cd in conference with United Stales Attorney Daniel .1. Gallagher and j Edwin L. Pride, the federal auditor! engaged in going over his accounts,; but at adjournment nothing was givcn out except the statement that the conference would be resumed tomorrow. One of Ponzi's attorneys, how-! ever, said that they had been pngag-1 ed in "checking up on the audit." j There was nothing: to indicate that j the report of the audit had been j filed. Ponzi himself, in a statement, to' newspaper men discussing the day's j development, reiterated that lie was solvent and that he desired to have i I the investigations completed as soon ; as possible so that he might resume i his bu sin err, operations. Tie 'saidj that he bad a certified check for $i,-| f,00,000 subject to thirty days' notice j of withdrawal at the Hanover Trust I company, where it is alleged he has overdrawn one account, and added ( that he had on deposit in the form . or funds and securities at other in-j rtitutions in this city amounts more ; f.-v nil linhili- ! 11UUI OUIlIVlUill, UI vwi VI V??? | t'es. " j RAILWAYS SET NEW RECORD HEAVY FREIGHT MOVEMENT; j Washington, Aug. 11.? During the week ended Julv 10th there were * loaded on the railways of the South 127,485 cars of commercial freight, an increase of- 1.0,7fi2 cars over the leading for the same week last year * * r f> AOi ?.TyN%, and an increase 01 a,yen ears uvui the same week in July, 191S, when every possible effort was bcir.g made to rush war material to France. These figures are taken from the records of the commission on car service to which reports are made by ;.!! the large railways. During the three weeks ended Juiy 16th the records of the commission show that there were loaded on the -railways of the South 350,962 cars of commercial freight as against 338,937 cars during the same period last year and 352,183 cars during the same Donod of 1918. On the railways of the entire country there were loaded during the three weeks ended July 16th 2,521,203 cars as against 2,455,3S4 during the same period last year and 2,722,5G2 during the same period of 1918. These figures show that the railways of the country are not only performing a larger measure of public service than they performed during similar periods of 1919 but that they are closely approaching the records made in 1918 when every nerve was being strained to win the war and the railways of the South have even passed the high record made iri 1918. - * * * - i : In (U.scussmg ine neavy nusincs.s being handled by American railways, the Railway Age in a recent issue said: "The newspapers are full of reports regarding industries that are operated at much less than their maximum capacity, or are on the verge of having to close aow.n, oecausc of inability of the railways to handle the traffic offered them. In spite of the strikes and other troubles the railways almost continuously in' 1020 have been moving more freight than in 1019. "Why, then, arc the industrial operations of the country being seriously interfered with and its financial stability threatened by insufficient transportation? There can be only one rational answer to tha^ question. The present conditions are partly due to strikes, hut they are mainly due to the fact that for years the productive capacity of the country has been rapidly increasing while the facilities and capacity of the railways have been increasing hardly at all. "Present conditions arc practically chargeable to those who throughout the years from 1906 to 1917, by fighting to keep the rates and net earnings of the railways on the lowest possible level, did all they could in their respective ways to make it impossible for the carriers to handle the country's commerce." ? *> <$ <j> 'S> <?> <$> <? *v Q ^ <?><$> <6> ^ <?> STATE CAMPAIGN <S> MEETINGS. <$> iv <8> <?> <$> <$- <$ <?><$><?> <$> <?><$><$> <$> <S> <$> <$> Winnsboro?Friday, August 13.
