To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In your report of my address before
the Woman's Council yesterday, there
are several inaccuracies of so grave a char
acter that trust you will oblige me by Civ
ing prominence to the following corrections:
I am reported as saying: 1.-THE law for mar
ried women in this State was made in the
early part of the century, and it is still in
it's original FORM" What / did say was:
I'm the early days of Rome womaa had no
rights which could be maintained by law.
She was not a person in the eye of the
law but q sort of attachment to some man.
AS a daughter she was under patria pOtes-
tas On the death of her father she fell
under the potestas, or power, Of the next
succeeding male head Of the household.
Of the husband" / called attention to the
word indicating the mental attitude of the
lawmakers toward women, 'potestas,"
power showing that they thought woman a
creature incapable of self-cOntrol and self
guidance but one to be controlled and
guided by some power external to herself.
and that this erroneous idea underlies not
only the ancient Roman law but all the
laws of civilized countries, especially apply
ing to women, down through the years to
the present time.
Then | am made to say: 'In Indiana no
laws are needed for unmarried women"
What / did say was that 1.-THE lawmakers
Of our own State have ceased their legisla-
tive attentions to unmarried women. but in
the latest amendment, that of 1881 have
confined their attentions to those who have
husbands. THOMAS G. DAY.

to members. The sum now allowed is 20
cents mile, one way. But one allowance

Telegram Not in His HANDWRITING.

A case is on trial in Room l, Superior
Court, in which the administrator of the
estate of Henry Seeley, who died in this
city in August, 1897, is being sued The
plaintiff is a Mrs. Williams, a daughter of
Mr.. Seeley. Mrs. Williams's mother died in
1887, prior to the marriage of her daughter.
1t is alleged that the daughter on the death
of her mother, made contract with her
father by which she was to have charge of
the household and look after the other
children for a stipulated sum each week.
The daughter remained with the family as
housekeeper until 1885, when she was mar
ried. Some time before her fathers death
she brought suit against him for 81, 100
which she alleged was due her for eight
years service. The suit did not come TO
trial during Mr.. Seeley's life, and when the
administrator was appointed he was made
the defendant.
In the evidence yesterday, the fact was
brought out that in 1892 Mrs. Williams, then
Miss Seeley, fell i'll and was unable to take
care of the house At the time a younger
and it was decided to send for her. She
was summoned home by a telegram sent
by her brother announcing the sisters Ill
ness. Yesterday the brother was on the wit
ness stand, and the telegram was produced.
The young man was handed a telegram and
was told to read it for Identification. He
looked at the message long and earnestly,
and then remarked:
This is not my writing"
The lawyers who heard the remark
thought they saw a joke and laughed heart
lily. The witness did not see the humOr of
larity of the others. The cas- was not fin

JUROR AND THE SIDEWALK.
A Point Argued in Damage Case
Against the City.

A rather unusual point was argued before
Judge Leathers of the Superior Court, yes
terday, in a motion for new trial in the
case Of Elizabeth Graeter against the city
of Indianapolis The plaintiff sued to re-
cover for personal injuries. She was in
jured while walking along Illinois street
south of the Grand Hotel and claimed that
the accident was caused by a defective piece
of sidewalk. The case was tried by jury
and verdict was returned in favor of the
city. In fling a motion for new trial the
attorneys for the paintir alleged miscon-
duct on the part Of one of the jurors as suf-
ticient grounds for a rehearing. 1t was
charged that Juror John j. Valdenaire,
While the trial was in progress, visited the
the alleged defective walk 1t was calimed
that the juror had no right to do this, and
that his act was contrary to law.
Yesterday, when the court called in the
attorneys for argument on the motion, the
counsel for the city presented the affidavit
of Juror Valdenaire, in which he denied
that he visited the sidewalk where the
plaintiff was hurt for the purpose of inform
ing himself to the condition of the walk.
He claimed he was on his way TO the store
of the Van Camp Hardware Company, on
South Illinois street. and remembered that
he was in the neighborhood OF where the
plaintiff had received her injuries, He
glanced casually at the defective walk as
he passed. The plaintiffs attorneys met
this affidavit with the claim that the juror
went out of his way to see the defective
walk, it being on the east side of the street,
while the Van Camp Hardware Company is
on the west side. Judge Leathers took the
matter under adVisement.
