Costs in appeal Cases
The members also expressed them
selves In opposition to compelling the
defendant la a suit before magistrate
70 pay be costs In the lower court before
! taking an appeal to the upper court The
/ principal objection was that there might
bs reversal Of judgment and it would
then be impossible Tor the defendant
below, appellant, TO recover the costs he
had already paid.
TO Raise the Age Of Consent.
Aaron NJ Powell, Of the American
| Purity Alliance, editor Of the Philan-
thropist, and an earnest worker n behalf
OF social purity. came TO Dover yesterday
in company with Adjutant- General
Macallister During the noon recess he
addressed the members Of the General
Assembly upon the subject of raising
the age Of consent from IL to 1S years
Speaker McMullen presided The
visitor was introduced by General
Macallister, who prefaced the intro
duotion with short bat impressive
speech upon the evils Of a law which
allows girl to consent to her ruin at a
such tender age.
Mr.. Powell made an earnest speech
against the traffic ia young glrlhood
and would probably have been even
more pronounced in his utterances but
for the fact that, just as he had cleverly
begun his speech six or eight women
visitors, who we're ignorant of what was
going on, walked in and took seats on
the visitors bench. His talk made a
good impression Mrs. Charlton Edholm,
Of the National Womens Christian
Temperance Union, also spoke, and when
she concluded she offered prayer that the
bill might pass. Shortly thereafter
Representative Sypberd gave notice OF
bills raising the age Of consent, in cases
OF rape, from to 10 years, and raising
the general age of consent from IA to Il
years snd making 1t penal oifense for
any man to csrnally know & girl beneath
: that age.
