Woman Sufrnge BW.-Ths hill was a
special order. On the question OF passage,
Mr.. Stafford stated scope of hill and purpose
it intended to cover. law saying that
women should have the same right as men
to vote was too restrictive. as it would limit
the right of suffrage to tax payers and prop
erty-owners The committee on judiciary
thought the bill should pass, because they
could see no good reason why il should not
become law. MIR. Weld OF Berkshire Of
fered an amendment allowing women to
hold town, county and state offices. Mr.
Stafford objected to the amendment on the
ground that It was not in the interest of the
bill. Mr.. Dale of Brighton paid glowing
tribute to the fine qualities of women, and
urged the passage Of the bill. Mr.. Weld
spoke on his amendment and said that he
wanted the women to have a fair show.
Amendment was defeated Mr.. Martin in
terrogated the judiciary committee as to
what evidence was before the committee
whether the secrecy of the ballot
would be observed if women were given
the right to vote. In answer, Mr.. Stafford
said none of the members of the committee
had the temerity to ask such a question.
Mr. Enright supported the bill in few re-
marks to the point urging its passage as a
matter Of right and justice. Mr.. Weston of
Newfane said we are bound to give women
representation, and he hoped the bill would
pass. The bill was also supported by Mr..
Martin, Mr. Booth of Mortified, Mr.. Taylor

THE LAMAR CONTEST
THEY BOTH WANT THE CHILD.
Frankie Lamar Kidnapped by her Mother
and Carried to Chicago.

A few weeks ago, q girl known as
frankie Lamar, who has been considered the
child Of Henry Lamar and his wife, was
spirited away from Denver by Mrs George
Salisbury, the own mother of the girl, and
taken to Chicago. Mrs. Lamar, who is the
girls aunt, accompanied by m attorney, went
to Chicago and is engaged in legal conflict
to obtain possession Of the girl. A Chicago
dispatch says that on the 10Th Mary and
George Salisbury, who are trying to have the
court award 9-ycar-old frankie Roso Lamar
to their custody, answered the petition OF
Henry and Caroline Lamar Of Denver. The
charges Of loose conduct preferred against
them arc denied and several counter allcga-
tons arc made. The Lamar petition charged
that Mrs. salisbury had acted in variety
theatres; that she had no home fit for the
little girl, and that she had lost her rights to
the child's custody by sending Il to the peti.
tioncrs one night by messenger boy. They
accepted the charge, learned TO love tho little
girl and intended to keep her, until ono day
last week when Mrs. Salisbury, the mother,
appeared and, us they assert kidnapped her
from public school.
John NJ. Deutsch, to whom Mrs. Salisbury
was married in 1881, Joins in the Lamar petl-
tlon and declares that his right to the child
was established by divorce decree granted in
Denver two years ago.
In the answer filed Mrs. salisbury charges
that shortly after their marriage Dcutsch be-
gan abusing her and In March, 1889, sent her
away from his home in Buena Vista, Colorado,
and refused longer TO support her. The
mother says that after Frankie was born
Deutsch never had home for the child; that
part of the time he was tramp and insane.
Under these circumstances Mrs. Salisbury
says she accepted the Lamars' offer to care for
her child until she could find home, but
that, she asserts, is the only title they can
claim. Two years ago, the mother says she
tried to regain the child, and TO avoid the
Lamars she took circultous route from Den
yer, but Lamar followed and had her stopped
at Grand junction. Colorado, and by thrcaten-
Ing her with arrest by the sheriff, induced her
to rclnquish possession of the girl. In clos
ing her answer Mrs. Salisbury denies all
charges OF loose conduct and variety theatre
acting, and represents that she and salisbury
are able to furnish proper home for the
