Appeals From Justices Courts.

In handing down the decision Of the
Court of Appeals in the case Of VIM. NJ.
Redmond against the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, Chief Justice Alvey de-
clares that an appeal from a judgment by
justice of the peace will not lie heard
by the court. 1t is explained that when the
appeal has been determined by the Supreme
Court of the District, the right therein has
been exhausted. The Court of Appeals
holds that while the act establishing the
court might, II taken literally, embrace the
right of appeals in such cases, the act was
not intended for the multiplicity of such APP
peals, the amount at issue being less than
$780,
Judge McComas had refused to allow the
appeal from his court, Criminal Court No
l, hearing civil causes and the Court of Ap-
peals was asked to reverse Judge McComas'
decision. The law, explains Chief Justice
Alvey, provides for the hearing Of appeals
from justices of the peace in Special terms
OF the District Supreme Court, and the de-
cision OF Judge McComas is. therefore, sus-
tanned,

SHOULD WOMEN VOTEY
The Question Argued by Expert De-
batOrs of Both Sexes.


The question. Should Women Vote" was
debated Saturday evening at the Y. NJ. C.
A. gymnasium. The speakers representing
the affirmative were Mrs. Clara Bewick
Colby. Miss Cora De La Matyr Thomas
and Mrs. Martha Powell Davis, all of the
Wimodaughsis; the negative by Messrs. c..
c. Woodruff. L. Gable Williamson and F.
e. Tasker of the Y. NJ c. A Literary So
ciety. Representative W. d. Bynum acted
as referee and Edward n. De knight as
chairman. After prayer by Rev. s. NJ.
Newman. d. D., of the First Congregational
Church. and few remarks appropriate
10 the approaching contest, the debate
opened. According to the rules of the dis
cussion, the first two speakers representing
the opposite side were given twelve min
utes to open and eight to close. Mrs. Colby
ied She based the political equality of
woman on biblical foundation and cited
the instances of the Wyoming and other
localities where women have been allowed
the franchise as an example of the practi-
blllty and desirability of the theory which
she exponnded. Mr.. Williamson in reply
also talked scriptures, used the argument
tnat Woman's engagement in politics would
mean the neglect of the home and the de-
struction of society. Miss Thomas followed
the affirmative, and quoted statistics that
women did the same work as men for less
pay and were taxed without representa-
ton. Mr.. Tasker, one of the expert de-
baters of the literary end of the Y. NJ. c..
A, based his argument on the sentimental
grounds of preservation of the homes. and
created some Indignation among the women
by d7nouncing them as socialists. Mrs.
Davis and Mr.. Woodruff closed. Mr.. BY
mum In rendering his decision COMMUNICATED
the ladies' on their argumentive ability.
he, however, rendered decision in favor
OF the negative proposition. 1t was pro-
posed that a vote of the audience be taken
on the question, but this was overruled
by the presiding officers.
