Dr. E. J. Bro- phy, the city health officer, has had the quarantine cards placed on both the front and back doors of the Evans house. Dr. Brophy said that it was ridiculous to claim that the Evans child had had only the mumps and not scarlet fever. She may have had the mumps but she certainly did have scarlet fever, although her parents claim they did not know she had it. When the Evans child first came back to school, the teacher moticed the peeling condition of her hands, said Dr. Brophy, but as the child had a doctor's certificate, the teacher did mot think to question that. In the cases of three of the four other children who have Geveloped scarlet fev- er, direct contact with the Evans child, enough to convey the contagion, has deen established, according to Dr. Brophy. The Dutton girl played with and walked to school Wwith the Evans girl. The John- son child lives downstairs in the same house as the Evaus family and has been In the Evans apartments, and the Pren- tice child had the next seat behind the Bvans child in the school room. MAGNOLIA TREE BLOOMING | SAYS SPRING IS HERE {_One of the surest signs of spring yet seen in Norwich is the magnolia ‘ree in front of the Buckingham Memorial which has withstood the continued cold weather and within the past few days has blos- somed out in its full glory. The sight of this tree in its whiteness and fragrant flowering sends a thrill of hope through the hearts of the passersby that: spring may be here within the near future, OBITUARY. Francis Irons. Francis Irons, 77, for many years a Tesident of Fort Point, in Preston, died at his home there on Friday following a long illness. Mr. Irons was born in New London but the greater part of his life Has been spent in this part of the county. Mr. Trons was a veteran of the Civil war and was a member of Uncas lodge, No. 11, I 0. O. F. For many years he had been_employed in this city by the local fish markets. He leaves one son, William H. Irons. His wife died several years ago. Mrs. Henry Hall. Amelia A., wife of the late Henry Hall, died_suddenly on Thursday at her home on North Thames street from a severe attack of heart trouble, with which she had been suffering for many years. Mrs. Hall has lived in Norwich practically all her life and has a large circle of friends. Her husband, Henry Allen Hall, vet- eran expressman, died on Sept. 8, 1815, as the result of injuries recelved when he was hit by an automobile as he was standing by his wagon on the West Side. There are no children and Mrs. Hall was the last of her family. Edward Murphy. Fdward Murphy, 88, died at his home, 197 Connecticut avenue, New London, on Thursday morning.

Anthony amendment will-not be known for.a day or two, it was learned Friday. night. ‘words to the “emergency. suffrage corps” Tepresenting the 48 states of the union were these: “"The legal aspect of the case will guide my decision; but‘my personal views will not - inuflence ‘me.” ¥ Suffrage leaders in Hartford are in- clined to take hope and believe that the governor's statement means that he may possibly call a .special session. Tt is known, or believed, that he personally is opposed to suffrage, but the fact that he claims that this viewpoint ‘will have no bearing on his decision is a straw that the suffrage workers have grasped at in SATURDAY, ‘NORWICH WOMEN IN SUFFRAGE PLEA —_— their last effort to save the day for the supporters of the’ equal franchise. The women opposed to suffrage still be- lieve that Governor Holcomb will adhere to his original decision not to call a spe- cial session and that Connecticut will, therefore, not be the 36th state to ratify the amendment which would place women on the same/voting plane with men. Those who addressed the governor in behalf of a ratification session of the leg- islature were Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cun- ningham of Texas, Miss Rose Moriarty. of Ohio, Mrs. Seward Simons of Califor- hia, Dr, Grace Heberd of Wyoming, Mrs. Ellis Yost of West Virginia, and Mrs. F. Louis Slade of New York. They were bresented to the governor by Miss Kath- arine Ludington, president of the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage association. Forty-eight autoniobiles, cach bearing the name of a state and carrying the representatives ‘of that particular state. formed in line at the Bond Annex ‘at 10 &'clock in‘ the morning and, headed by Mrs. Harold Knowles, chairman of the motor committee, proceeded to the capitol. While the women were in -conference with the governor a mass meeting was held on the south side of the capitol, presided over by John T. Robinson and Judge Arthur F. Ells of Waterbury. Miss Katharine Ludington and a number of the women spoke. The visiting women left Hartford on the expresses for New York and Boston during the afternoon.

Macfarlane Jubilate Amen, Ralph Kinder Miss Taft played with brilliancy and keen intelligence, which appealed at all times to the pleasure of her hearers. The program gave ample opportunity for the sympathetic touch and poetic feeling which always animates her performance. The charming tone pictures of Macdow- ell were given with artistic ability, while Elgar's composition was rendered with a finished adjustment of its proportions. 1t is seldom given a Norwich audience to listen to more delightful singing than Mr. - Keigwin's. Possessed of a tenor voice of unusual appeal, quality and res- onance, he won instant favor. He sang the Haydn aria with admirable taste, while his remarkably high range and vo- cal richness were heard to fine advantage in his lighter numbers. Responding to an insistent encore, he repeated The TYoung Rose (Macfarlane). Lee Roy Robbins was chairman of the ushering committee at the church, the other ushers being Dr. John S.
