New York, June 19. Equal suffrage and other legislation affecting wo men figured prominently this year In the discussions of a large majority of the state legislatures. The ses sions of most of them have now come to a close and a summary or their activities collated by The .Asso ciated Press discloses that the ques tion of woman suffrage came up for deliberation in twenty-two states and thr.t divorce laws, mothers' pensions, women police, minimum wage, eu genic marriage or other subjects re lating to 5 women were considered m twenty-seven states. The legislatures of seven states adopted resolutions whereby a constitutional amendment giving wo men equal suffrage rights with men will be submitted to the people at the fall elections either this or next year. They . are Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsyl vania in 1915; Iowa, South Dakota and West Virginia in 1916. Tennessee adopted a similar resolution, but It must also be passed by the next suc ceeding legislature before it can be submitted to the voters. So did Ar kansas, but the resolution was inef fective because of a provision of the state constitution which forbids more than three constitutional amendments to be submitted at one election and three had already been filed with the secretary , of state. California adopted a resolution de claring that woman suffrage in that state had been an unqualified suc cess. Alabama will consider the ques tion at an adjourned session to be- 1 gin July 7. In twelve states woman suffrage measures met defeat Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, New aiexico, North Carolina, North j Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont and Wisconsin. Three votes defeated j the measure in Indiana. It was pass i ed by the senate with only three j votes registered against it, but a mo tion in the house to call the bill out of committee failed to carry, 46 to 49. Three votes also killed the meas ure in the Texas legislature, where i it was introduced in the house.. A two-thirds' majority, however, was required to pass it and the suffra j gist supporters claimed a great gain. I The resolution did not reach the senate. Eight votes defeated the bill in the assembly of Wisconsin and there was a bitter contest on the ques tion in Montana where, undaunted by the defeat of their cause at the gen eral election last year, the suffrage adherents renewed the fight. In Del aware proposed constitutional amend ment was defeated decisively in both houses: in Florida in the lower house; in New Mexico and North Carolina it died in committee. In Michigan a proposed amendment to the constitution , giving . women . the right to vote for presidential electors and all" officers of educational nature was never reported out of the sen ate committee. The general assem bly of Connecticut declined to send the measure to the next assembly for ratification. New Mexico, however, passed a law providing for the appointment of wo men on the governing boards of state institutions in the discretion of the governor. North Carolina enacted a bill making women eligible to become notaries in the state and giving them the right of petition in certain In stances, but the law was declared un constitutional. Women may become notaries by a law passed in Tennes see and serve in that state on school board3. Pensions for mothers came up for consideration in eighteen states, in eight Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Wyoming legislation for this purpose was enacted for the first time. In two Texas and West Virginia mothers' pensions measures were killed. In the rest the present laws were amended or amplified. The new Kansas statute fixes the maximum grant to needy mothers at $25 a month to be paid at the dis cretion of county commissions. The New Hampshire law limits payment to $10 a month for a dependent mother having one child under 16 1 years and $5 for each additional child. The legislature appropriated $16,000 for the first two years of the law's operation. j"- The New York statute applies to widows with a child or children un der sixteen who will be allowed the same amount as it would cost the state to support them. The Montana law applies to "mothers with children under fourteen and whose husbands are confined in a state institution or are physically incompetent; the Ne vada law to widows only. In Oklaho ma, both widows and mothers whose husbands are insane or prisoners are eligible to the benefits of the law, the compensation . being $10 a month for one child under fourteen and 5& a month for each additional. The Wy oming, law is similar. The law in Tennessee applies in counties of 5U 000 population or more and having juvenile courts. The act was not made ' mandatory. Sixteen is the age limit' " and $10 and $5 the compen sation. Washington passed a bill mak ing her mothers pension provisions somewhat less liberal. California, Colorado, Connecticut, North Carolina, Nevada and West Virginia acted on divorce laws, Cal ifornia amplified hers so that judges were granted power to call In the district attorney where fraud or collusion are suspected. Colorado amended hers so that a decree shall not be issued until six months after the divorce has been granted. Con necticut added incurable insanity to the list of grounds for divorce be fore the courts. Previously this cause had to be taken to the legislature. North Carolina passed a measure changing from ten to two -years the period required to establish deser tion, but the act met such a storm of protest that it was repealed the next day. Nevada returned to her law the six months' residence clause. West Virginia created in each coun ty the office' of "divorce commission er with j;ower to investigate di vorce suits, appear at trials, examine witnesses and defend 'the interests or the state to prevent graud and collu sion. The senate of Indiana passed a eugenic marriage measure, but it was defeated in the house. Legislation to promote healthy marriages and ' check the social evil was enacted in - Ver mont. The law requires all physicians to report case s of social diseases to the state board of health which is empowered to prescribe quarantine regulations. Labor laws for women were enacted in Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts and Wyoming. Maine wrote into her stat utes a fifty-four hours a week law for both women and boys under sixteen working in mills, factories and laundries. It stipulates that such employes shall not work more than nine hours a day unless for the sole purpose of permitting a shorter schedule for one day in the week. Massachusetts legislated to prohibit the working of women and children overtime for the purpose of making up for the time lost on a legal hol iday. Wyoming enacted for her working-women an eight-hour day; and both maximum hour and mini mum wage laws for women were passed by Kansas. A bill providing for minimum wage for women m Michigan was killed in comniittee, although the commission appointed b y Governor Ferris two years ago to investigate the subject, returned a strong report in favor of the enact ment of such a law. New Mexico passed an act increas ing the property rights of the wite and Wyoming in this particular placed wife and husband on an equal footing. New Jersey authorized the appointment of women policemen. Oregon forbade discrimination be tween male and female public school teachers in the payment of salaries. An attempt in California to enact a law to forbid, women to shake dice for money or prizes was defeated. So was a bill providing for women jurors.

Two Turkish aero planes that recently flew over Con stantinople were mistaken for Rus sian by the Turks, who opened up a brisk gunfire that brought down both machines and killed two of the army's best aviators. According to other accounts brought to Athens by travelers, the people of Constantinople are in an exc.ited state iof mind. At the begin ning of the war they were entirely confident. But the arrival of the first wounded from the Dardanelles proved a painful surprise. The people had gathered at the docks to see, as they expected, bands of British and French prisoners landed. Instead, they saw thousands of their own wounded. A demonstration against the war, led largely by women, followed in front of the war office, but was dispersed. Constantinople's hospitals are now crowded with wounded, who receive scant care. The Turks lack doctors, nurses, gauze, bandages and medical supplies, and the hospitals are primi tive in their arrangements and sani tation. Noise of the big guns - in the . Dar danelles zone can be heard in the cap ital, and at night the distant flashes of searchlights can be seen.

One of the newspapers published an epitome of the news of, Whitsun-week a year ago, to contrast the trivial news of that time with the stirring events of today. A year ago Mr. Lloyd George delivered a speech at Criccieth while Mr. Asquith was playing golf on the Holyhead links. The Derby race had been run. Two suffragettes were bound over for attacking the doctor of Holloway jail with a dog whip, and another "for using a hatchet on. the Bartalozzi sketch, "Love Woundedv' at the Dore Gallery. At Oxford Uni versity, the honorary degree of doctor of civil law was conferred on Prince Lichnowsky, the German ambassador. We Insure tgd Insurable If you want Insurance that Insures, See Us First.
