HAD POCKET BOOK FULL OF PHONY MONEY, Lizzie Maloney From State Hospital Appeared at New London Railroad Station. “I want a ticket to Worcester,” said Lizzie Maloney, 30, as she shoved $1500 through the window in the ticket office of the Union station in New London on Wednesday night. A glance at the Dills assured the ticket agent that they were phony. He at once telephined for a policeman and the woman was placed under arrest. At the police station it was discovered that she had $4517 in bills on her pe; son but only $17 was real money. The woman had raised two $1 bilis to $1000 bills, one $2 bill to $2000 and a 55 to $300, but the work was _ so crudely executed that the phony bills would not pass muster in the eyes of a child. Michael Malone, an emplove at the Norwich State hospital who happened to be in New London Wednesday ev- ening was called to police headquart- ers, as the woman claimed to have been emploved at the hospital and he identified her as Lizzie Maloney. Dr. Pollock was motified of the woman’s detention and he went to New Lon- don and took her back to the institu- tion in his automobile. The woman had with her five small purses in a leather handbaz in which she carried her wealth along with numerous tri- fles, such as bits of paper. and other things. ~ She told the police that she had a right to make money as she was treasurer of the United States. HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER MUST REDUCE FORCE Smaller Appropriation Makes This Necessary—Sixty or Seventy to Go. Owing to a reduction of $2,000,000 in the highway department appropri ation by the late szeneral assembly, Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett will be obliged to reduce the number of the employes of his depart- ment by sixty or seventy. The ser- vices of twenty or thirty engineers will be dispensed with and forty in- spectors will be dropped from the pay roll. The reduction will not go_into effect at once, although some of the employes affected have already notified the commissioner of their intention to retire in July. The commissioner has enough money to continue the present work of construction until the close of this fiscal year, September 30, The law which 'passed in the’ last days of the session, in relation to the construction of bridges over highway by the commissioner in cooperation with local authorities, will enable the commissioner to retain some engineers, for whom otherwise he could not find employment. Of course, there will be considerable repair work on the highways and on bridges, but no road construction ex- cept what may be done through sheer necessity in the way of making over and which, perhaps, could not be tech- nically considered repairing. Towns throughout the state are like- 1y to feel the effect of the reduction in the appropriations for the improve- ment of the highways because it prac- tically means a suspension of the pol- icy inaugurated some years ago of constructing improved roads in Con- necticut, Stripped of His Cloth Willis Miner, employed as a farm- hand by R. C. Wheeler of Stonington, presented a strange appearance in New London Wednesday morning when he walked through Bradley street to the police station, clad only in his under- clothing, socks and shirt. Miner had encounteéred thieving company, for he met Frank Terrell, a local character, Who had robbed him of his_ raiment, while intoxicated, and left Miner no alternative but to enter the streets in his_underclothing. The police located the clothes in a second hand store where Terrell had sold them for $2.25. Terrell has a police court record and was but recently liberated from jail He was at one time on the U. S. S. Itaska. Was Trying to Pry Open Window. A man who gave his name as John Libby of Bridgewater, Mass, is held in the New London police court on the charge of attempted burglary. Thurs- day morning about 1 o'clock James M. Kelly, undertaker, residing at No. 548 Banic street, New London, heard some one trying to break into his residence.

Miss Marjorie Dorman So Describes Effect of Giving Vote to Women — Spoke Here Under Auspices of Norwich League Opposed to Equal Suffrage—But Small Pro- portion of 44 Million Females in United States Want the Miss Marjorie Dorman of New York, a campaign speaker in the anti-suf- frage cause, held the close attention of an audience of about 60 in the town hall on Wednesday evening, Where she spoke_under the auspices of the Nor- wich League Opposed to Equal Suf- frage. In an illuminating way, she discussed the arguments, pro and con, on the question of. women voting, speakfng for about an hour. At the end of that time, it was evident that she was much in favor with her au- dience that seemed content to hear her further, but she devotyd the rest of the time to answering a few ques- tions that were asked in response to her offer to make reply to any that migh: he presented. Miss Dorman was introduced by Mrs. Eben Learned, president of the Nor- wich league, a5 one to whom much of the success of the work this year both nationally and in the state, has been due. With the president and the speaker upon the platform were seat- ed one of the vice presidents of the league, Mrs, Frank I Royce, and the treasurer, Mrs. Archibald Mitchell, Jr. A big American flag hung from the wall behind the desk and another was draped along the front of the desk, while a handsome basket of red pon- ples proclaimed the colors of the anti- suffragists and baskets of White flow- ers were also arranged in the decora- tions. Convert From Suffrage. Miss Dorman averred at the out- set of her talk that she was convert from the suffrage to the anti-suffrage cause, her enlightenment having come when' she had been compelled to get out into the business world to earn her own living. In this respect of having gone over from suffrage to an- ti-suffrage she stood with Gladstone and Herbert Spencer who like some of the other biggest people in the world had come to change their point of view upon this subject She discussed protective laws for women workers and said that the only woman who fought the nine hour day in Connecticut was a suffragist. For the sake of getting the vote, this wo- man was willing to sacrifice all the protective legislation that other wo- men were striving for. In fact, Miss Dorman claimed, ev- ery labor law that protects man pro- tects woman also, and the real plea for special privilege for women in employ- ment is on the sround of the good o the race because of the fact that every woman is either a potential or an active mother. Suffrage Not Wanted by Majority. Taking up the question of propor- tion of women asking for suffrage, Miss Dorman said that the question had been agitated for 65 vears and that now the equal suffrage league an- nounces that they have 200,000 mem- bers. But there are 44 million females in the United States and until the suf. fragists can show that at least fifty one per cent. of these want equal suf- frage, they are undemocratic for they want the wishes of the minority to prevail. True it is that the 200,000 are accountable for a good deal of noise, but it is not noise that con- stitutes numbers. Economy and Efficiency. At no time more than now have economy and efficiency been needed in govarnment more than mow, but Colorado has the highest tax rate, in California the rate has increased amazingly, and in New York the tax rate is going up. Miss Dorman discussed the increas- ed expense if you double the num- ber of people, wWho are to vote and declare that if you vote for woman suffrage you must be prepared to pay the cost. What we want is the best possible result from the least possi- ble expenditure but woman suffrage violates the basic principal of econ- omy by sending two people to do what one could do. What can any class, state or nation gain by this? The suffragist gives us no practical reason why we should double the vote. Denver Women Neglect Voting. As an indication of how women fol- low up their privilege of voting, Miss Dorman read the following newspaper clipping from Denver, referring to the election held there on Tuesday: The lizghtest suffrage vote ever polled in Denver was cast in today’s munici- pa] election, when voters adopted the home rule amendment, making Denver “wet,” and which will result in endless court litigation. A violent snowstorm kept a large percentage of voters from the polls, but even the most ardent suffragists acknowledged the weather ‘was not the cause. 2 “I'll tell you what's the matter,” said Mrs. Martha J. Cranmer, member of the state board of pardons end a suffrage pioneer in Colorado. “Most of the women have become disgusted and quit voting. Only a few more elections and all the women in Denver will quit voting. The women have shown they can’t stand together. They have divid- ed into factions and spend their time knifing one another. I shall never vote again. Suffrage is a failure. The facts speak for themselves.” Suffragists Inconsistent, The speaker charged that women are inconsistent from the fact that they make men the trustees of their funds, but when it comes to spending their country’s money they want to have a say about that, although they have lit- tle practical experience in business, and only one woman in five is engaged in a gainful occupation which would give her any sort of practical experi- ence in business. Better World by Education. The suffragists think that what we want to make the world better are better laws, but the anti thinks it is too late to begin to reform by law with the grown-ups. The way to prepare for e better world is through the chil- dren, by education, religion and through the home, the three places where woman’s influence is most ex- erted. Every great man who ever lived bore testimony to the worth of his home, his early education and his moral training, and not to the laws. Where these three things have falled it is women who have failed. It is a case of deciding where you want to use the energy of the two sexes, and in the division of human labor the man should carry the public responsibilities. If the women vote, the man may be disfranchised by his life's partner. if she happens to vote on the other side, but the bachelor has no one directly to negative his vote in the same way. As an illustration of sending two people to do the same thing where one would serve, Miss Dorman told the story of the man who rushed in to his wife on election day just when she had a pie in the oven. He was intensely excited and told her she had better put her things right on and go down and vote with him, as the democratic opposition was trying_to put something over on the party. She went and voted, but when she got back home her pie was burned to a cinder.. As she weat out to throw it in the ash barrel she caught sight over the fence of her neighbor, Mrs. Jones, just re- turning from the polls, to which she had been likewise hustled by her hus- ‘and, who she knew was a democrat. “What a shame,” she exclaimed to the woman over the fence, “that we couldn’t let our husbands do this vot- h: Then I could have saved my 2 Wage Earners and Old Maids. Miss Dorman said she represented two classes for which it was claimed that the vote was needed, the wage- earning woman and the old maids, but in this coufitry only 6 per cent. of the women 65 years old or over are single, 50 that it is really the married women who predominate, for of the women Who reach the age of 65, there are 94 chances in a hundred that she will be married and cnly six chances that she will escape being caught by some man before she gets through. Woman Property Owners. One of the last arguments of the suffragists to which Miss Dorman paid attention was that the woman who holds property and pays taxes needs the vote for her own protection. Men own property in many states, but have a vote in only one, but their property is just as well protected Where they have no vote as in_the state where they do vote, Miss Dor- man avgued, so that to say that a woman meeds the vote to protect her property is ridiculous, and only 10 per cent. of the taxes ere paid by women. Declaration Cards Distributed. Ushers at the door distributed cards to all entering which contained a blank which could be filled out with the statement that the signer did not be lieve in the suffrage for women. The ushers were the Misses Henrietta Bid- well, Olive Huntington, Elaine Hitch- on, Jennie Hitchon, Marion Powelson and Katherine Brown, and were under the direction of the vice president, Mrs. Royce.
