opened steady at an advance of 2 points
to a decline of 4 points. The sharp rally
from the present low level seemed suf
cent to attract a renewal of local bear
pressure in view of continued favorable
weather, somewhat more favorable Eu
ropean political news and a private re
port placing the Increased acreage at
4.7 per cent. On the other hand there

New Orleans Futures.
New Orleans. May 2. Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 2 to 6
points in spite of good cables. Brokers
appeared to have an accumulation over
night of selling orders based on favor
able weather and crop fuccounts. A pri
vate estimate on acreage, showing an
Increase of 5 ier cent, also stimulated
selling. First prices were the lowest in
trie early trading. Good buying set in

thratt at the end of the first half hour of
business prices were 1 to 3 points over
yesterday's close.
Around the middle of the morning Of

prices averaged below yesterday's close.

CONVICT BILL
IS OPPOS
BREAKERS AHEAD FOR GOVERN
OR TRAMMELL'S MEASURE,
ABOLISHING THE LEASE SYS
TEM. BY FRANK i. HUFFAKER.
Tallahassee. May 2. Before being
adopted, if it is adopted at all. Gov
ernor Park Trammell's bill for abol
ishing the convict less system, which
passed the house Wednesday afternoon
by an overwhelming vote, will have to
do battle and compare merits with a
decidedly strong; bill introduced in the
senate by the committee on convicts

equable and commonsense In every
feature. The committee members who
have devoted most time to this bill are!
Chairman Lindsay and Senator Y. I.
Vaton. both of whom have had wide
experience in naval stores operations,
in which the Florida convicts are
mostly used.
The bill provides for the establish
ment of a prison farm on the state's
lands in Bradford county and makes
an appropriation of $100,000 from the
present lease to be used in that work.
The convicts are divided into two
classes or grades, the first grade being
composed of able-bodied male eon-

primary of Tuesday, May 6th. as pre
pared by Supervieor ' of Registration
Frank Maura and printed in The Jour
nal yesterday morning, was approved
by the city council at n srpecial meet
ing: held for that purpose lat night.
About twenty-five persons who said
their names had been omitted from the
list as published yesterday morning
were present for the purpose of hav
ing their names reinstated, hut after
an examination of the books it was
found that their names were recorded
In the books.
Lis-ts containing: a total of about
twenty narnes which were said to have
been left off the Hat were also pre
sented, but on examination of the
books It was found that, with the ex
ception of about three, all the names
were in the books. The lists were re
ferred to the registration officer, who
was instructed to add to the list the
names of those who are qualified
electors.
Registration Officer Frank Maura,
from whose books the names published
in The Journal yesterday were fur
nished under his direction, told a rep
resentative of The Journal after the
council meeting that he was unable to
say who was responsible for some of
the names of qualified voters being
omitted from the published list.
Validating Act Requested.

account of the alder-manic form of
government being abolished.

infirm hospital subjects. On January
1, 1914, or as soon as possible there
after, all convicts of the second grade
are to be placed on the prison farm.
Leasing to Counties.
The bill provides for the abolition
of the system not later than four years
from next January. Counties will be
Riven an opportunity to lease convicts
at the same price paid for them by
the lessees, the convicts to be used on
the public roads. This plan will g-o
into effect about the first of July, this
year. The commissioners of any eonn
ty can make application to the board
of state institutions for whatever mim
ber of convicts such counties desire
to work on the roads, and if the coun
ties should not take all the convicts
then the board of state institutions
can lease the remainder to private
parties.
Payment for Convicts,
The bill further provides that coun
ties leasing- oonivcts sh3ll pay per
capita per annum the same amount
as is paid by private lessees. Thi
plan of requiring: the counties to pay
such a price for the nvkts is simply
a matter of Justice to counties which
do not take convicts for road work.

SUFFRAGETTES
LOSE FIGHT
E
WILL WAGE A MORE VIGOROUS
CAMPAIGN IN THE NEXT TWO
YEARS FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
BY FRANK L. HUFFAKER.
Tallahassee. May 2. "We have lost
the fight to have the woman suffrage
amendment submitted to the people
but that defeat mean that we have
jut besrun to fitfht. and we'll win two
years from now."
This ultimatum wa given voice to
Thursday afternoon by the delegation
of prominent Florida woman who hare
made two long trips to Tallahassee In
behalf of equal citizenship, and there
wa a world of determniation' and
meaning behind the words. In fact,
even legislators who opposed the sub
mission of the fiffrfce amendment
adrnsit that but few years will pass
before Florida women will have the
privilege erf voting, and the suffrage
"warrlortettes" are determined to wage
a campaign for two years that will
bring success without fail next time.
"I had hoped Florida would distin
guish herself by being the first south
ern state to vote in favor of eqnai suf
frage," said Mrs. Tonise Ieko,
charming matron of Jackson vUJe.
"However, the fight Is on in earnest
now, and the next legislature witl un
doubtodly be favorrubie."
"The gentlemanly reception a corded
even by legislators who are avod-
edly opposed to equal suffrage, said
Miss Jeannette Rankin, who woa sent
to Tallahassee from the national head-
quartens of the Kquai Suffrage league
at Washington, "certainly speaks well
for fhe gentleness and cniva'.ry of the
men of Florida. fot one rude word
has marred our brief campaign, which
i decidedly umrsual. Had a vigorous
campaign been, waiged for the past six
months, our Ti.use undoubtedly would
have won."
