HnrrNburg Is a bubbling cauldron of Woman's Suf frage politics. There are two factions of. the suffrage organisation, but they do not speak as they pass by in the white marble corridors. In their initial plunge into the sea of practical politics they arc having the time of their lives. As there are no precedents by which to judge, comparisons are in vain. Comments about a Penrose combina tion, a Vare control, or an Independent outfit are puerile, as the suffragists seem to .have the mere-man veterans nt the game beaten by several laps when it comes to playing politics. The pros pect of the ratification by the Legisla ture of the national amendment was the genesis of the present trouble. Politics Is "Ladylike" It should be distinctly understood that this display of Woman's party politics is a very polite and ladylike affair. They do not proclaim in rude and outlandish phraseology to a listen ing wold what they privately think of each other. Such a courso would shatter the lofty contention that woman's presence nt the polls of the future will exert a soften ing and mellowing influence over the knock -down-kill-and-drag-out of say tho Hurlcson brand of politics. As a veracious chronicler, I am .com pelled to state that the Woman's Suf frage Association of Pennsylvania has done nil of the actual work for suffrage in Harrlsburg up until a few days ago.

Vote by Proxy Denied Bv a Staff Corrf;ionrfoi( Harrlsburg, Pa., June 1!). The Sen ate this morning passed the Phipps reso lution to ratify the Susan 15. Anthony fedcrnl suffrage amendment by a vote of thirty for nnd six against. Ten senators were absent. As soon as the resolution passed the upper chamber it was hent to the House. Republican leaders, who made ratifi cation a party measure nt the request of Governor Sproul, were determined to expedite passage of the measure im mediately. Speaker Spnngler, of the House, re ferred the resolution to the judiciary sperial committee of which J. It. K. Scott is chairman. Mrs. J. 0. Miller, of Pittsburgh, nnd Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, of Milford, offi cials of the Pennsylvania Woman Suf frage Association, went to Srott nnd asked him if it was possible to get first reading in the House today in order to bring the resolution up for final passage in the lower chamber Tuesday. Scott moved for unanimous consent to permit a committee during the meeting of the House, an unusual procedure. The motion Wns unopposed and the meeting wns called at once. House Corrmittee Reports BUI Sixteen members of the committee voted favorably to report the measure immediately on motion of Representa tive Marcus, Pittsburgh. Only-one ote was cast against the motion. Repre sentative Zimmerman, Lebanon, was the only opponent. The committee quickly returned to the House, nnd Marcus asked unani mous consent to have the resolution read a first time. There was no ob jection. The Marcus motion nnd the leading of the title by the desk clerk went through so quickly that the big delega tion of suffragists, wearing ellow badges, who lined the Bide aisles of the House, did not even have time to cheer. Senator Woodward just entered the Senate chamber as the clerks finished calling the roll. He asked to be per mitted to vote forthe resolution. Senator E. W. Pntton, Philadelphia, then asked permission to have Senator Vare recorded as voting for the resolu tion. The Philadelphia Senator left here yesterday afternoon to attend to busi ness matters in Philadelphia, and told the suffragists ho would return today to vote for ratification. His train had not reacched here when the resolution was called up. Republican leaders found they had enough votes" to put the rcsolu tion through, and decided to call it up. Vares Vote Not dded The Senate permitted the names of Doctor Woodward and Senator Davis, of Lackawanna, who also came in late, to be added to the list of those voting for the resolution. Senator Vare's name was not added to the roll.

Morning newspa pers feature British naval nnd other preparations in t;he event of Germany refusing to sjSn the trcnty of penre and print, under big headlines, several un official reports which were current dur ing the night. The grand fleet has again been placed on n war footing, it is reported, and ready to sail for German waters at a moment's notice. The dirigible R-34 has been diverted from her transatlan tic trip and is goiug to the Baltic, while her companion aircraft, the It-.Tl, simi lar! equipped, left Wcdnesdny night for a cruise which will include tho Kiel canal. Should Germany refuse to sign, ac cording to one officer, the flight of the R-34 will be enstward instead of west ward. The airships, which now are engaged in a demoustrative flight over Germany, will return to their bases tonight and remain there until the German decUion is announced. "Bombs nnd machine guns were un necessary in the present flight," said the officer. "Should they have to go eastward again, however, these things may oe ueeuea. j The foregoing appears to dispose of reports in London last night that the R-M and R-34 were armed for their eastward cruises. A telegram from Copenhagen reports the arrival there of a dozen British cruisers and several destroyers prepared to enforce the blockade. The Dnily Sketch says the R-D4 was over Berlin at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. New York, June 19. (Bv A. P.) Lieutenant Colonel Frederick W. Lucas, U. A.

"The decision is only in accordance with the understanding we had in Eng land when the invitation to come to America was accepted," he said. "We shall continue, however, to get r&.Jy for the flight, which will take place n's planned, if the Germans sign the peace treaty. If war is resumed, of course, the departure will he deferred until it is settled. In any event, we nre not ready jet nnd would not be for several days." Washington. June 10. (Bv A.

In this event the board's principal weapons to make the blockade effective probably would be rigid prohibition against neutrnls trading with Germany, the adoption of a new enemy trading ijst, absolute prohibition of anything going to Germany direct, no recourse to the rationing plan applied to neu trals during the war to prevent the pos sibility of surplus supplies being ob tained by the neutrals which could be exchanged for German goods.
