May Margaret Ely married Harry Butler, July 30th, 1910. The couple resided in Waterford and came to New London and were joined in wadlock by Rey. Joseph A. Elder. Miss Ely was | but 17 years of age at that time, while her husband was 25. Afterwards the couple moved to' New York and there became estranged. The record of vital statistics there shows that May Margaret Ely was married to Joseph B, Seeley December 31st, 1912. This was apparently with- out procuring a divorce from Butler. Afterwards Butler was killed and the widow of record was awarded benefits under the compensation laws. The woman attempted to obtaln compensation law benefits and did re- ceive payments, but it later developed that a second marriage was perform- ed. Investigation has revealed a mu- tilated marriage certificate of Dec. 31, 1912, to Seeley. The couple was re- married at the municipal building in New York on Nov. 23, 1915, The woman is supposed to have married Seeley without obtaining a divorce from Butler, and when she learned of the latter's death .she at- tempted to hide her marriage to See- ley and procure compensation benefits, marrying Seeley the second time in order to make it appear that the last marriage to Seelel was the only mar- riage of the couple and that it took place after Butler had been killed. mentions that Misses Maude and Agnes Hickey have returned to Willimantic and Mr. and Mrs. Battye have returned to Mansfield Depot after spending the holidays with Mrs. John Scott and Mrs. John Mack.

Manifesto Called Forth Protest From Large Body of Anti-Suffragettes. Peking, Nov. 30.—The Chinese wo- men have entered into the monarchical movement with a vehemence which would do credit to Mrs. Pankhurst and her most aggressive followers. Miss An Shiang-sun and twenty-eight of her supporters, chiefly school mistresses, set the ball rolling in Peking by issu- ing a manifesto urging the women of China to participate in the movement to restore the monarchy. This manifesto immediately called forth a protest from a large body of women anti-sufffragettes, who deplor- ed the effort to icvolve women in the political agitation, but were harsh in their criticism of the monarchical movement. They declare that the men who were attempting to restore the monarchy “expect to receive some rich reward, such as titles of no- bility from the new government for their services.” Their protest then inquired “What motives have actuat- ed a section of our women to partici- pate as consorts or maids-of-honor?”’ These protesting women urge that the women of China have not the in- telligence necessary to a proper discus® slon of the affairs of state and that they sould not interfere with politics in any, way.
