Joseph Braun was fined $10 and costs by Deputy Judge Taft in the borough court Wednesday morning for neglecting to send his chiidren _to school as required by law. The chil- dren, Alton, aged 12, Edward, 13, Ce. iia, 10, and Edith 9, Attended school almost every day but were very often tardy. One of the children was late 13 times during the winter term. The father said he kept them out to work about the greenhouse which he con- ducts. Henry J. Potter, agent of the state board of education, said that he had warned Mr. Braun that he must get his children to school on time and he read a copy of a letter which he had sent Mr. Braun in Februgry. The fine and costs amounted to $18.44 and was paid by the accused Sent to Jail Campbell was sent to 20 ddys for intoxication. About the Borough.

Love, situated in Sterling Hill, caught fire, the blaze spreading rap- idly, killing every sign of growth upon his land. It burned with great speed and soon. crossed the road into the woodland owned by Mr. Walker. Here the fire again did considerable dam- age, killing a number of large trees end all the small’ growth. Perfectly Harmless. Directly after a train had passed the Cranska bridge, Tuesday after- noon, the guard on duty noticed a small object lying on the opposite side of the brifige from him, with a little stream of smoke slowly arising. In the distance it looked rather sus- picious to the guard and he quickly went to the spot. Upon investigation he found it to be nothing but an old piece of burning waste, probably thrown off by one of the trainmen. Mrs. Walter ijer of Sterling Hill was a Moosup caller Tuesday.

Mr. Foord of Stamford not only fa- tored woman s on the license question and presidential electors but for full suffrage. He eaid men were platforms of both great ties. He said the west was first to give women their rights and that the west governed the election. He re- terred to his republican ancestry and declared that unless the republican party woke up it would continue to be the minority party. He took a fling at the democrats and charged them with not standing on their party platform, for if they did the women of the state would have been given suffrage two years ago. Martin of Orange for. Women. AMr. Martin of Orange said that two years ago he was on the wavering line but now he was strongly in favor of woman, suffrage, and was uphela in the fact that the constitution refers to government by the people and for the people and not by men and for men A woman shouid not be a victim of taxation without representation. He upheld the action of Miss Rankin in congress, .that she was not weak, but had not formed her definite opinion, and was in the e mood as were the men who filibustered in congress in He said women shouid have the same rights as men at elections as a matter of fair principle. The women are asking for justice from the state, simply that and nothing more. He asked if any member of the house did not consider his mother fallv qualified to vote. He pleaded to the 1epublicans to stand by their guns in this matter of justice. Reverend Smith Speaks. Mr. Smith of Mansfield said he had no apology to make for standing ir favor of giving the vote to women. He referred to the Boston tea party and in the action against taxation without representation and the declaration “To hell with the king of England. The women as well as the men are aiike entitied to rights of justice and equal- ity. He asked the members to act on the level and treat the women fairly and reforred to the intelligence of women as instructors. The state say the teachers must teach civics but has 1ot given them the privileges to qual- pay. One family of three have drawn an’ average pay of seventy dollars per week for thn last four months.

Garden clubs for boys and girls un- der paid local leaders are being or- sanized throughout the state. Willi- mantic. at a special town meeting held recently, appropriated $400 for loca] leader for the club work. Dan- ielson, Putnam, Norwich and other towns' in this section have plans for garden club work well under way. cake ana | Between three hundred and four hun- dred children from ten to sixteen years of age have siznified their intention to cultivate garden plots in the town of Plainfield. A paid leader or supervisor who is familiar with garden club work who can interest, instruct and encourage chlldrfn to do their best work, is a necesity, if the work is to be carried out along practical lines. Governor Holcomb has issued a call to school principals and superintend- ents to meet with the Committee of Food Supply for Connes 'ut at Hart- ford Friday, April 20, t8 make plans for enrolling children in the work of raising and conserving our food pro? ducts. The town of Plainfleld is to vote on having a paid Jocal leader at the town meeting Saturday. It is hoped that Plainfield will do her part in this work of adding to the state’s resources. Pupils’ Interest in Gardening. The following statistics relative to children’s interest in garden club work have been collected from children en- rolled in the public schools of the town at the present time: Number of children over ten years of age, registered, boys 244, girls 217, tota] 461. Number of children who can have gardens at home: Boys 158, girls 135, total 293. (That is who have available land.) Number of chil- dren who would like to have garden plots but who have no land that they can use, and for whom land must be provided: Boys 46, girls 16, total 62. Number of children who will take up some garden activity if a local leader provided: Boys 176, girls 103, total 79, (The different garden club activities and the amount of land required by an individual in*any one class is as follows: Corn club, one-half to 1 acre: Potato Club, 1-8 acre: Garden Club, 1-20 acre; Tomato Club, 1-20 acre Home Garden cmlub for smaller pu- pils who cannot cultivate a larger plot, 100 square feet.) The number of children as given by sections of the town who will enter into garden wark is as follows: High boys 11: boys, 28, Iesq%s i i 53 E; Eg it Eir hi 8 § Corbett Favors.a Chance. intr, Corbett of Hartford favored giv- ng the women .a chance to vote, to #ive them what they want in this iine which they have certainly deserved by persistent effort. The pocketbook ar- gument is the only one used again: suffrage. this question, ~as others, the democratic party. stands for cqual ‘rights to ail and special priv- ileges to none. He wanted the women to cast their ballots in the grand old state of Connecticut. >, - Mr. Brown of Milford. Mr. Brown also spoke in opposition i0 suffrage and he questioned if there was a single member elected to the Jegislaturs on a woman suffrage basis This question had been carefully con- sidered by other legislatures and turn- ed down, as it ought to be. Caine’s Reasons. Mr. Caine of Naugatuck said the present was not the proper time to pass this proposed law. It had been said on the floor of the house that a school teacher did not know civics and ¢id not know the significance of the ballot, and indicated the women were not prepared to exercise the right of franchise. It is claimed that 90 per cent. of the women of the state did not want to vote. In Naugatuck there are 4000 men of voting age in the town 9nd yet not more that 13 have exer- cised the right on school questions. He said the place for women are in the homles and that they do mot want tc mix up in politics. Mr. Rogers is Against. Mr. Rogers of Manchester spoke strongly in opposition to suffrage and declared that his mother was satisfled to let her husband and two sons de cide political matters for her. He said the women had nothing to do with the formation of thiz great government and it has grown and prospered with- out their political nid. Mr. Rogers said his wife did not seek for suffrage and nad asked him to vote against it. His Wife Did Not Direct. Mr. Dillon of Sheiton said his wife did not tell him how to vote. He voted against the measure two years ago be- use he did not see the light, but now he stands firmly for it. He said the members had given many reasons why &85 should not be marked but no one has vet given any plausibie reason why the women should not be granted the voting privileg: Ie said there was 63 votes for suf- frage six years ago, 79 four vears ago, and 107 two years ago, could have been carried by eight more votes. is time Connecticut feil into line. Plank Substan Mr. Hiscox, of Woodbury, said that if the republican plunk was good for anything when put in, that plank was 004 now, and he urged all to stand for woman suffrage. Waterbury Comparisons. Mr. Healey, of Waterbury, denied the claim that women were now in- directly interested in politics by their husbands and brothers, and that is ample. There would be just as much sense in saying tfat the youns men now were indirectly represen by their fathers. D e Democrat, Son of Republican. Mr. Martin, of Orange, in his talk said ‘his republicanism was inherited 4nd that he was proud of his republi- canism, and that usually the won fol- lowed the political footsteps of hix father. ~ Mr. Fox of New London, said he was the democratic son of o re- publican father, He was opposed to the suffrage measure under considera- tion, but he was in favor of the con- stitutipnal amendment to give the wo- men full suffrage and would cham- pion that measure when it reached the house. ’ Peasley Makes Resum. Mr. Peasley, the majority leader, who had ‘taken notes of the debate, made brief resume to all the points raised in favor of ‘suffrage and disputed their worth. He challenged any member, on either side, to show whereln either party platform advocated woman suf- frage. Mr. Peasley in his resume enurciated some real bits of witticism that were appreciated even by the gentlemen who were hard hit. He said that while there was no doubt as to the constitutuality of youns women the right to vote for presidential elec- tors, but there was doubt as to the constitutuality of the act to give women the right to vote in municipal and town elections. Messrs. Dillon, Martin, and Foord, took exceptions made to their remarks, and made more clear what they intended to say. Bliss Is For It. Mr. Bliss, of Clinton, favored suf- frage, and declared it would mean a release from slavery and the general improvement of a home. The oppo- sition to woman suffrage, he sald, comes from bums and liquor dealers. Sherwood Sustains. Mr. Sherwood declared that he had listened to the talk for nearly two hours and had not heard a word of argument against woman suffrage, and the reason was that there was no basis for such argument. The state- ment that this matter was unconsti- tutional was a case of dust throwing he said, to blind the dssue. It was not necessary to first determine, nor was it right to ascertain if the women, present and protective, desired to vote. He said today the majority of men did not want to vote, as Is evi- denced in the difficulty experienced in Ing out the vote at elections In your own home town. Stafford Suffrage. Mr. Heald, of Stafford, read s ter from a friend in Kansas City in favor of prohibition, which stated that there were young peopls there who never saw an intoxicated person. The lettar nlso strongly referred in favor of woman suffrage in tho state. Mr. Eatea asked Mr. Heald to read the postseript, but he declined. Mr. Hennon, of Griswold, referred to the party platform and he could not understand why the planks were not adhered to by the party representa- tives. There was no argument up to the minute against woman _suffrage and he favored these privileges for wongen. d Tammany Tired. Mr. Tammany, of Easton, after the :‘.!m‘lfl l::-:l“d‘lfi L] ours, ments had become repitions, and :::'“w the previous question. The motion did not prevail. Not Consistent. Mr. Minor, of Plymouth, sald the at- tack on Congresswoman Rankin, was inconsistent, anq was an attack on democracy. Like others, he said, no argument had been made against suf- frage as yet and he would vote suf- frage. Hammersley’s Hit. Mr. Hammersley, of Hartford, these bills under consideration ought to be ted, ‘as they were intended to_get into the statutes under false pretenses so to speak, rather than to submit the matter to the people under constitutional amendment. Goddard and Fish, T¢ Mr. Goddard. of Wallingford, spoke along the regulative lines at consid- crable longth in favor of the suffrage priviléges, and as did also Mr. Fish of Newington, and Mrs. Wilcox of Stonington. Legislator With Baby. Mr. Kingsbury, of Coventry, a mem ber of the committee, said he had not heard before the committee any arggu. ment in favor of suffrage. If woman is ziven the right of vote, and elected to the legislature, would she come to the capitol with her nursing babe. Wo.- men insulted the committee in hear- ing and he wondered what they would do if elected legislators. The Previous Question. Mr. Peasley moved the previous said question which prevailed and Mr. Goe made the closing arzument, which was in favor of the minority report and in tavor of suffrage. Rolf Call Vote. Before the vote was taken the speak- er explained that the vote was on the unfavorable majority report, and therefore those who favored accep ance of report should not yes and those wro favorsd suffrage no.

Absent, Hallock and Towne, Vote on Liquor Question. The next suffrage matter was the bill to allow women to yote on the li- cense question, acting being on the motion to accept the majority unfa- vorable report and rejection of the bill. Messrs. Hazen, Bowers, Cow. Cowles, Martin, Smith, Blakiesles, Ne!son and Shaw spoke for the minority rabort. Mrs, Peasiey advocated the accept- ance of the committee majority report which carried wth it the rejection of the bill, and fo rthe same reasons that defeated the other suffrage bill. Mr. Back favored suffrage but was op- posed to this bill and in favor of the majority unfavorable report. The report of the majority commit- tee was accepted and the bijl refected by a vote of 130 to 69. A motion to re- consider did not prevail. At 4.15 after a continuous session of nearly five hours the house adjourned to 11.30 Thursday morning. IN THE SENATE. Substitute Bill Concerning Aid for D pendent Children. Hartford, April 18.—The committee on humane institutions reported in the senate today a substitute bill concern- ing home aid for dependent children. There were five bills under considera- tion afid this bill was reported as a substitute for Senator Kopplemann' combining good features of all the bills. It provides for a boa~d of welfare in each county which may grant allowances to widowed mothers with two or more children un- der the age of 16 years. The board Is to consist of niné members, three of them women. The board is authorized to employ such employes as shall be necessary, at least one of whom shall have had epeciai training for the work of family rehabilitation and relief. Caretul inquiry into the financial con- dition of widows with children is pro- vided for and the board is to get such aid from relatives as possible. No widows shall be eligible for an allow- ance unless a resident of the county for at least a year. An allowance made by the board ehali not be for longer than a year. Expenses shall be paid by the county by money appro- priated for the purpose, the county to be later retmbursed by the state. $100,000 for College.
