This ruling created a big lenaatlon in
Ihe House, an?i tho general Impression
??n?.n?,' memberi last night was that it
means farewell to the aspirations <>f
Ihe women for at this late period of th?*
prestos it would I??* impossible for the

On a Point of Order.
\ situation of profound gravity Is
- . i. arly eprung iii??n the House.
.?ni a few hours previously ;; deputa?
tion ?>r women had been a aimed in
ton**** of the utmost solemnity that the
p|? dgc "f a free vote in the House on
ii?. sulfrage question was t?> t><* ful?
filled, an?) now the whole mov. m?*nt is
t.. be "ddetracked on a point <>f ??nier.
Whatever view is taken of tho merits
? f th.* amendments, it is eiear that the
grievance fell by many women, anal ad?
raltted by sir Edward Grey and Mr.
Lloyd t.eorgo, will h?* ac?*a*ntuat?*d a
hut tJiedfold through this eleventh hour
decuri?n of the Speaker The fear is
that it will lead to a serious and wide?
spread outburst of resentment, in view
of the tangle into which the question
has developed.
\ Cabinet council will be hold be?
to-day'a Parliamentary session
.-.ms. [t [g considered Inevitable that
tin government will drop tha* bill.
The Dally Chronicle" advises the
**overnm**nl to drop the press?t bin.

?!? ?? facilities for the imm?*diate dla

the assumes that any bill so passed

ould have enjoyed as any sua.oissful

taped to the operation of tha* Parlia
inent a? t and at the same tim<- adopt
Harold Bakers hill for the abolition
of plural voting Which hn*a already been
i>as.?<?l its second reading
First Victory Is for "Antis."
Another evil augury for success t?>
day was tho result of the prelimlnai .
skirmish on the franchise bill in the
House Of Commons last night. Th ?
amendment proposed by Andrew Boner
i.aw. th-- (?.?position leader, to reject
h?' Premier's time limitations in the
i?*bate was defeated by a vote of 230
to Ii?.. indicating a majority <?f ?IS be?
hind Mr. Ascpilth.
In moving the adopti-.n <>f th?- time
tl ble. ?ho Premier said that opinion nn
\? ?.man suffrage was .*-?> sharply divided
n both sides of the HoUSC that it was
mt?<?*?mt?1** for any government t?? pro
pi se tho enactment of vote for aromen.
While be himself was a strong op?
ponent >f the policy, he realised that
this war a groat hardship ?m support
01 s of the movement. Therefore, with
the full consent of the Cabinet, he had
? ? ? ided to leave the question to the
fin ? fudgin?at of the House.

Players, doctors' hills and a bill fo
bardarais? Qualey had u/,<>?i some of th
money for much the same purposes, h
said.
A? to the statement attributed to Qual?':
that the Newark plant was making i
profit Ot $3.0(??i, on which Mrs. Bull relie?
when she Invested her money, Corbet
said that was absurd. In six months no
much more than |t,Nt or $10.0<?0 wortl
'of material had b?*.-n sol?i, he ??aid, an?
then was not more than 40 per cent prof,
on that. In fact, If It had not been fo:
the $;!5.t.0?i Investeal hy Mrs. Hull, Corbet
said, the factory would have had to go V
the wall, for they would not have beet
ahle to pay their running expenses.
About MMSe Is all went directly 01
Indirectly, PorWett aai.1, Into tho treasurj
of the company. Most of this, he said
went toward salaries and office expenses
Slthough $4,000 ?was given to Qualey Ir
payment of a loan he had made to th?
company. The yacht, i'orhett said, Wal
bought before Mrs. Pull's contributor
and was paid for out of the company
funds.
Additional testimony Riven hy Mrs. Rull
In the police court was read yesterday.
She told of helng introduced to Qualey
by Mrs. Hopkins, who paid to her: "I
have heen a i batlgod woman since I went
Into MSgnSSla-AsbeStOS. r expect to be
rl?*h InsMe of two years. Why. I will
make enough out of that investment so
that I could throw it out of the windows
of my carriage for the resf,of my life."
Qualey, Mrs. Bull said, had further lm
pressed her with the wisdom of the in?
vestment, telling her that InsMe of six
months she would g*t a return of I?OO.oqo.
Qualey was kind aetOUgb, she said, to ad
\ ise her concerning: her duties as exe<u
