The Bridgeport coroner’s report was that Bartis Kkilled himself in a fit of despondency after a debauch, but the police here scout that theory and say they believe it was more likely to have been a fit of despondency be- cause of lack of work and his des- titute condition. According to the Nlkrwich police, Bartis and a friend, Grigorias Andres, left this city Monday night, on a frelght train, He had been accused that day by John A. Johnson. owner of the candy store at No, 263 Main street, of opening the safe in the store and taking $85 from it, but when the accuser and Bartis saw Chief Linton together at the chief’s office, the chief decided there was nothing to prove that Bartis had taken the money. Johnson - accused Bartis, who had worked for him, of knowing the com- bination of the safe, but Bartis denied this, telling Johnson of several other men who knew this combination. Bar- tls sald he knew the combination of the safe in Johnson’s Greeneville store, but not in the Main street store.

A fellow Greek had allowed them to sleep in an attic and one of them had lodged at police headquarters. OBITUARY, Mrs. Youngs A. Bailey. Anner D. Mowry, wife of Youngs A.

Following a spirited address made by Georgze B. Chandler of Rocky Hill, in behalf of the Anti-Suffragists at the hearing held in the capitol at Hart- ford on Thursday, Mrs. Thomas Hepburn, the suffrage leader, came back strong in rebuttal as did_ also Mrs, Carlos Stoddard of New Haven. Mr, Chandler in his address said: “The suffragists are confronted by an unsurmountable biological fact. We belong to a dying race. There ought to be four children to each family, but such is not the case to- day. All of which means that wo- men are not living up to their primary function in this wold— that of childbearing. “At one end of their discussion they are individualists—and at the ;nm.:; end what have they?

Their method of reasoning is to ask. ‘Why should not women vote? Their opponents do not have to prove that. It is incumbent upon the suffragists to enumerate griev- ances of their sex which cannot now be remeried, and which votes for women would remedy. “l quite agree with Mr. Chandler,” said Mrs. Hepburn, calmly, when' her turn -came. “He does belong to a dying race,” she shot back, “and fortunately for the cause of suffrage it is that theirs is a dying rase.” And the suffrage tricolor firgs waved applause. “Ha has trotted out all the old bugaboos o fanti-suffrage, and dangled them in front of your eyes, gentiemen of the committee. I must praise his calm and judiciai aspect; he certain- ly has made no effort to' stampede the committee:” q'uring to the members of the com- mittee, she went on to say that the an- tis had told them they were not the most important men in Connecticut, but that she said, then and there, they were; and that, far from having to be convinced in favor of suffrage themselves Tefore reporting the bill favorably, there was strong legal opinion that the censtitution permitted an appeal to popular vote on any ques- tion where there seemed to be demand for such expression. “When the majority of the people want a thing,” she deduced, “it isn’t up to some little committee to tell them whether or not they can have fris Mrs. Carlos Stoddard of New Haven was up soon after, and she too, went for Mr. Chandler’s argu- ments. “He has told you, she ejacu- lated “of murders and cromes in the suffrage state of Oklahoma, when any one of his anti friends could have told him that Oklahomea is not a su state. As for the Colorado riots, they were not to be charged up against the people of the state, but to the people, outside of Colorado, who owned the mines and formented the trouble. And when the strike did come in that state, it was a_delegation of women who went to the governor's office, and didn’t go away until he not only prom- ised to send for federal troops, but actually did send for them.” Birthday Surprise Gifts, James W.

Philadelphia, March 5.—More than 500 University of Pennsylvania stu- dents today formed a free speech so- nd empowered a committee to draw resolutions denouncing the au- thorities of the institution and those in charge of the Pennsylvanian, a daily student publication, because of the al- leged attitude of the authorities and the Pennsylvanian toward Samuel Gompers, president of the American Feceration of Labor. The action was taken at a meeting of the students held in Knights of Columbus hall which was addressed by Mr. Gompers. The resoiution, which it is planned to present for forma] adoption at an- other meeting tomorrow, censures the members of the faculty for refusing to permit Mr. Gompers to-speak in one of the halls of the university and crit- icizes the editors of the student publi- cation for refusing to announce today’s meeting in the columns of the Penn- sylvanian. After effecting permanent organization, the students announced that stated meetings would be held and speakers in-all walks of life invited to deliver addresses. Mr, Gompers, although he denounced the university authorities for their ac- tion, made no attempt to urge the stu- dents to revolt. Most of his address was devoted to the evolution of organ- ized labor and he left the hall before the heated addresses were made by the st CHARGES FEEBLE MINDED CHILDREN WERE KICKED.
