Practically all of the House "antis" today there is 110 change in attitude as a result of the action the Senate yesterday. Some favor refusing to accept the resolution when sent over from the Senate on the that the House has already on a similar resolution. Representative McNabb, anti-sufleader of Wilmington, Is much docile today than usual.

There probably two reasons for this. One the presentation by suffrage yesterday of a petition signed by persons in his district, urging him vote for ratification and the other the fact that his "boss" is with him watching his movements. Mrs. McNabb accompanied her husband to this morning and the Wilmingrepresentative introduced Mrs. MeNabb to several friends as his "real Mrs.

McNabb was with "anti" leaders most of the morning and seemed to be enjoying her visit. Representative McNabb says he studied petition last night but wants adtime to look it over. He says finds about 100 names on the pewithout an address and also he learned that some persons whose names are on the paper did not it.

Both Houses took matters easy this morning. And there was apparently nothing more serious in mind than killing time. In the House, on motion of Representative Hart, an attempt was made reconsider the vote by which the House yesterday afternoon passed Representative MeNabb's bill to comrailroads to have drinking water all passenger cars while in use State.

The motion, however, was receiving but 10 votes. In Senate, Senator Gormley moved that that the suffrage resoluer adopted yesterday and also his substitute resolution and his amendment which were rejected be embodin the Senate Journal, which prevailed. Yesterday was the last day that on either the amendment to Kiair law to allow physicians: right to prescribe liquor, which was killed in the House, and the boxing killed in the Senate could be reconsidered. No move was made either house for reconsideration.

The affair was well attended. SENATE PASSES SUFFRAGE BY 11 TO 6 VOTE (Continued from First Page). morning that he would call up the resolution in the afternoon, and it was conceded even by most "antis" that the Senate would act favorably. The vote, it was rumored would be 10 to 7, but the suffragists even did better than that and received the support of eleven senators. Early in the afternoon the Republican Senators went into a conference which lasted more than an hour.

An attempt was made to get every Republican Senator to support ratification as a party measure, but Senators Palmer and Brown balked on that proposition and refused to vote for the resolution. They were the only Republicans to vote, against the resolution, while. Senator Price was the only vote on the question in the Senate, Democrat to vote for it. While there had never been a test President Pro-Tem Short and Senators Bennett and Hanby had always been looked on as opposed to suffrage, but since the Republican State Convention, which urged ratification in its platform, these men have evidently taken the broad view that it was a party question and therefore as Republicans decided to vote for it. When the clerk in calling the roll for the vole reached Senator Handy's name the latter said, "I do not believe in suffrage, but I am a philosopher and voted No explanation was made by any other Senator of his vote when the roll was called.

Previous to the ratification resolution being adopted the Senate rejected a substitute resolution and an amendment to the Walker resolution both of which were offered by Senator Gormley of Wilmington. The subto stitute resolution dented the right of Congress to propose such an ninendment and denied the validity of such an amendment even should it be ratifled. The vote on the substitute was 5 yeas to 11 nays. Senator Bennett was out of the room when that vote was taken. Senator Price, Democrat, voted with 10 Republicans against 1 the substitute, and Senator Republican, voted with four Democrats for it.

The amendment offered by Senator Gormley provided that in event ratification would not become, operative In this State until approved by a referendum vote, at the next general election. This amendment WAS rein jected Senator by a Price, vote Democrat, nays voted yeas. with of 13 to 4 the 12 Republican Senators against the Gormley amendment. When the Senate went into session yesterday, afternoon Republican following members, a Sen- conator Walker, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reported the suffrage resolution on its merits. Senator Gormley made a minority the unfavorable, report.

Up until this the time the resolution had never been the out of committee, but there was no objection offered when It was then called up for final action. After the resolution had been read in Senator Gormley offered his substitute resolution, which drew out a debate in which Mr. Gormley and ator Allee participated. Mr. Gormley declared that the members of the State had sworn to did uphold the constitution of the State of Delaware and Mr.

Allee pointed out that they had also sworn to uphold the constitution of the United States which he said the "Senator from Wilmington well He characterized aS fallacy Gormley's claim that it meant the automatic on conversion of Delaware into a province. There was another lively debate when the referendum amendment the was presented. Mr. Albee pointing out that the Wilmingtonian knEw that it wag contradictory to the conthe stitution of Delaware. Senator Robertson also took this view, saying that the Democratic leader knew that it meant absolutely nothing.

While Senator Gormley was making reference to certain phases of and suffrage talking and laughing was indulged in by some of the women, which caused him to pause and exand plain, "this is what we might exon pect when women get the vote. demand as a Senator as respectful a hearing as was given the Senators who spoke for the resolution." There were no further interruptions City. of the speaker. Senator Walker in his speech urgtion, said that the subject was dising adoption of the original resolucussed for a half century and was well known. He characterized the movement as the essence of Americanism, to which had been given the best thought and action embodied in dye American citizenship.

He charged dye there was no such thing as demoolead- racy south of the Potomac and insisted that ratification would mean is the of democracy into that carrying section. Senator Palmer said he didn't regard it Es necessary to say whether sufin frage was right or wrong, but he asit serted that the way that it was being brought about was decidedly wrong, Co. ile termed it "overriding the wishes detri- of the people." Senator Gormley said he regarded the suffrage resolution as inflicting the will of Delaware on States that did not want it. Senator Price referred to the E. Declaration of Independence as guaranteeing liberty and independence to with women the same as to men.

He inPercy sisted they have earned their political J. independence in a thousand different ways and was confident influence they would exert the same in politics that they now exert in the home and the church. He regarded it just AS this much tyranny for women to be subject to taxation today without repad- sec- resentation as in the days of the House, Revolutionary War, and feared it would be a black mark on the State of Delaware should it fail to take advantage of its opportunity, to grant this right. He pointed out that the two parties had endorsed the cause costs and that the Republican and Deniethe cratis National Conventions about to least meet would go on record as being in Mu- favor cf it. Senator J.

Frank Allee. Jr. took dis- issue with statements that the masimilar jority of women of Delaware were off opposed to ratification, insisting that been at the least this was a mooted question. Local conditions no longer governed the mattter, he said, and he officers inclined to the opinion that every Republican in the Legislature, had been elected on a suffrage platform as the Republican party had gone on record as being favorable to the movement before their election to the Senate and House. Senator Palmer reiterated his contention that the people of his distriet were oppposed to it, otherwise he would not have been elected.

Senator Allee doubted this as a reflection upon the intelligence of Mr. Palmer's constituency, saying that if they read the daily papers two years ago they must have been aware that the present session of the Legit ture I would be called upon to act upon the FATHER STERN WARNS OF GOD'S LAST JUDGMENT THE REV. EDWARD J. HOLLAND One of the priests conducting the mission for men at St. Patrick's Church.

In the mission sermon last night at St. Patrick's Church, Father Sterne adhered closely to the gospel description of the last judgment as given by Christ Himself! The signs preceding the judgment, the judgment itself and the sentence which the Eternal Justice will be done to all men at Judge will pronounce were described. that great final scene, said Father Sterne, Justice inexorable to the wicked and justice to the good. "'He shall come to Judge the living and the All things hidden shall then made manifest in order to proveGod's justice to all men without partiality or respect for persons, said the measure. He didn't propose to surrender his own judgment in a matter of principal which contained so much of the elements of right and wrong.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, prestdent of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, wired Mrs. Henry Ridgely, pit sident of the Delaware Equal Suffrage Association, "We have never lost fath that Delaware would rise to meet the call of the nation. to do justice to American women and the act of the Senate today only confirms the belief that our faith was well founded. We are as confident that the House will follow the examiple of the Senate and make the history of which Delaware posterity will be proud." Mrs.

Ridgely said, "From Indian River hundred to Brandywine, Delaware women are saying tonight they knew that Delaware men would never fail General T. Coleman duPont, Republican national committeeman, was at the State House during yesterday afternoon. He conferred with Governor Townsend and kept Will Hays, Republican national chairman, notified of the suffrage situation by telephone conversations.

W. Pennewill and Mrs. John W. Brassington presented Representative McNabb, of Wilmington, yesterday afternoon with a petition signed by 500 men and women in his district urging him to vote for ratification. The presen, tation was made at Mr.

MeNabb's desk in the House chamber and attracted a large number of persons. The Wilmington legislator, who ordinartly has nerves of steel, was noticeably nervous. He told the women that he would go over the list of names carefully and give it ation. Mr. McNabb remarked that there were not enough women in his distriet to defeat him and that he expected to be elected as senator.

This started a discussion between the suffragists and Mr. McNabb, which bebrought laughter from the tvomen and came spirited for a few minutes. ORPHEUS CLUB SINGS TONIGHT.

Performers in "Don Quixote" DINNER AND SUPPER PARTIES AND DANCE If the Mask and Wig Club of the University of Pennsylvania had rubbed the magic lamp that figures so prominently in their play and wished for it, they could not have received a more cordial and whole-hearted reception than was accorded them in Wilmington yesterday afternoon and last night, when they galloped and pranced and sung and danced with "Don Quixote, at the Playhouse. The Mask and Wig boys say they have a more delightful social time in Wilmington than any place they visit. That is because the Delaware Alumni of the University of Pennsylvania makes a "Penn Night" of their visit. Not content with filling the Playhouse with Penn Alumni and their friends, the Delaware committee has an aftershow supper party and cabaret, with the Mask and Wiggers, shorn of the gay panoply of the stage, as the stellar performers, Enthusiastic audiences greeted "Don Quixote" at the Playhouse at both performances yesterday. The play is just as tuneful, just ag replete with skilful dancing as in the past.

However, it did not seem to be up to its standard of previous years so far 45 vocal solos were concerned, but it made up for that by its splendid singing and dancing choruses. Time and again the wonderful dancing of the boys, many of them made up as bewitching chorus sfrls. drew prolonged plaudits from the audience. The Mask and Wig boys and girls were overly-generous in responding to encores. The outstanding solo voice was that of F.

E. Vrooman, who took the part of He has a sweet lyrio tenor voice that charmed his hearers. B. S. McGovern, who sang the "Aladdin" song, also had a pleasing voice.

J. H. Hoff, as "Dulcinea," made a fascinating Spanish maiden. Edward Longstreth, as a vamp, and F. H.

Ledyard as "Sancho," entertained with burlesque dances that were received with laughtor. One of the hits of the show was "Don Quixode's" faithful horse. Never did equine perform such stunts. "Rosie" capered and danced and gazed at her "wrist watch" on the left fore leg and did all kinds of fancy steps, but always came out on the beat of the music. W.

R. Clarke, Jr. and H. S. Barshinger were the extremely clever dancers who made up As the horse, and although their faces were unseen they received unstinted applause for their mirth-provoking and work.

of the many appealing singing choruses there was none that won such commendation as "In Your Little Home, Sweet Home," a parody on the present "dry" situation. Half of the chorus sang a modern version on "How Dry I Am" while the other half sang a down-to-date arThe rangement chorus was sung time and again of "Home, Sweet in response to encores. Nothing better has been heard in any of the big musical shows. A wealth of praise could be written about the entire performance. Follownig the show, the Mask and Wig boys were entertained at supper in the Hotel duPont ball room, and they sang many of their favorite solos and choruses, did fancy dances.

and Clark and Barshinger did some lot their "horse" dances, without the horse raiment, to, demonstrate their intricate steps and team work. The ballroom WaS filled with supper parties. There was dancing between Mask and Wig members, and the Mask and Wiggers concluded by singing their Alma Mater" and a toast to Wilmington. Prior to the evening performance many Penn Alumni entertained at dinner parties at the hotel. BURY A.
