MANY ABSENT DURING DEBATE ON SUFFRAGE. Lack of Quorum Prevents a Vote on Amendment. ‘Washington, March 5.—Debate on woman suffrage continued in the sen- ate today without the expected final vote on the propsed constitutional amendment being reached. Late in the day many senators were missing from | hteir seats, and lack of a quorum pre- vented a vote on an amendment to the pending resolutions submitted by Sen- ator Vardaman. “Our women,” the Mississippi sen- ator declared, “will not go to the poils to vote in competition wit ha race con- enitally, eternally, ractally, unalter- ably unfit to perform the supreme function df citizenship.” He said he would support the reso- lution_of congress repealed the 15th amendment and modified the lith amendment, and to this end he offered hissamendment to the resolution. As for woman suffrage in all the state, but in all other respects the right of citizens to vote would be left to the states in which they reside, Senator Pomerene of Ohio told the sepate that although he had voted for woman_ suffrage in his state, he was opposed to a federal censtitutional amendment that would force equal suffrage on states oppesed to it. The fact that only two per eent. of the women had exercised the school fran- chise in Ohio, he added, was evidence that they did not want the ballot in his state. WILSON PRAISED BY LONDON PRESS.

President Wlisen yesterday afforded the United States and large werld out- side,” say sthe Graphie, a singuuraly smpressive fHustration of the leftiness and correctness with which he inter- prets his dnty as tie ehief maeistrate of the republie. Te do right, to do it lovally and generously without quibble or hesitatlen, is a jesson that sadly wants teaching to the world of states- manship, and President Wilson has taught it with admirable effect.” The Times in an editorfal says: “The striking message which Presi- dent Wilson read to congress yester- day, whatever its practieal resufts, will win him the approbation and respect of all that is best among the Hnglish- speaking nafions of the globe” * The editorfal points out that by a curious coincidence the messago comes at the same time aa the memorial to parliament urging Premier Asquith to reconsider the government’s refusal to participate in the Panama-Pacific ex- position.

Chicago, March 5—William Cheney Ellls was today found guilty of mur- dering his wife, Mrs. Eleanor Hosea Ellis, last October in a Chicago hotel. Punishment was fixed at imprisonment in the state penitentiary for fifteen years. The jury reached a decision after deliberating three and one-half hours. Murder Committed at Hotel. The defense of psycaic epilepsy or transitory insanity set up by Bills ap- parently was disregarded by the jurors. Ellis claimed that he had been driven to mania by knowledge that his wife was lost to him and had given her love to Fred G. Cauldwell of Brantford, Ont., a young dry eoods merchant, whom the Ellises met during a vaca- tion at Georgian Bay. Ellis killed his wife in their hotel room here Oct. 16, 1913. He is 47 years old and has been a dealer in leather goods in Cincinnati, O. He foliowed his wife here several days after she came to Chicago on a visit to relatives. They celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary with a din- ner and theatre party on the night of the murder. Claimed Suicide Pact. When found with his wife's body, Ellis appeared dazed. He had slightly slashed his own wrists and throat. He at firat declared the tragedy was the result of a suicide agreement because of business troubles. Before the cor- oner'’s jury he changed his explana- tion. He testified that he alone was responsible for the killing, but that he meant that both should die. Later, in the jafi hospital, it is said, Ellig decided to try to live and escape punishment for the crime. It was then that the defense of temporary mania was prepared. Cauldwell Denies Ellis’ Charg Cauldwell deelined to come to Chi- cago to testify, but from his home in Canada he sent despatches indignantly repelling the accusations of wilis. At the time of the murder, it was testified, Blis was in broken health, his pusiness had dwindled and he had been the victim for a long period of spells of brooding, depression and ner- veusness. e COLLEGE WOMAN AND THE FAMILY Children Enjoy Better Health Than These of Non-Oollege Graduates. New Haven. Conn., March §.—Many phases of coliege activities and social service were presented to delegates to the religlous education assoclation which today had its first gathering. Under the general topic of The Re- lation of Higher Edueation to the So- cial Order, many addresses were de- livered bearing directly upon the high- er education of woman and the en- trance of college educated women into social service. Miss Laura Drake Gill, president of the coliege for women, Sewanee, Tenn., spoke on The Effects of Higher Bducation of Women Upon Health, the Family and Economic Status of Graduates. “Thirty years ago.” said Miss Glil, “The prediction was made that the higher education was fostering a blow to the health of women. Three in- vestigations showed that from figures obtained from more than balf the col- lege women graduates of the country that sixty per cent, had excellent health, and only a small percentage showed impaired heaith and with these it was mnot impossible to determine their state of Lhealth when entering college. Later the cry was that col- lege women were not marrying early enough, or if married, did not have children enough. Another survey was made and the results showed that while college women married a little later in life they finally married in the same proportion as their nearest female blood relatives who were not college graduates, that they had relatively larger families, a larger per cent. were boys and that the children had better health. The statistics gave a basis for the faith college women had in their future. OBITUARY. I. Augustus Stanwood.
