DIST RANCH|SEMENT
OF WOMEN VOTERS
New Jersey Once Permitted
Those Owning Property to
Cast a Ballot.

Mont Clair. n. j., Dec. 20.-Members
OF the Mont Clair Womans Suffrage So
ciety, who have been delving in the
history of New Jersey, have discovered
that in 1900 and for some years before
that women property owners were rec
ognized as having the right to vote,
The discovery created sensation
among the so members of the Suffrage
society, and the organization declares
that 1t will at once take steps to attack
in the courts the consti,utionality of II
law passed in 1907 DISTINGUISHING the
women property owners.
According to the constitution of New
Jersey, adopted in July, l776." the suf-
arase investigators say, .'all inhab-
itants of full age who were worth ESQ
were entitled to vote for all public oiii-
ces elected by the people.
"In the presidential election of 1900,
females voted generally throughout the
state. Then in 1907, a special election
was held in Essex county. Much fraud
was practsed on both sides, and the
women were made the scapegonts.
at the next legislature, although no
proof was brought forward that the
women were the offenders. the election
was set aside as fraudulent and law
passed restricting the suffrage to male
citizens"

LAUGHING GOVERNING
BODY OF YALE UNIVERSITY

New Haven Conn. Dec 2O.--The
election of Clarence II. Kelsey of New
York city to the Yale corporation at
tracts attention in Yale circles here
rs a new step In the lacizing of the
governing body of the university. The
corporation now consists Of three ex-
officio members, President Hadley and
the governor and lieutenant gov
ernor of Connecticut: six members
elected each for six years by the
alumni and 10 members as SUCCESSORS
of the original trustees who elect
their own members for life
Up to few years ago the 10 were
all clergymen but since that time by
the voluntary action of the clergymen
three lnymen have been elected almost
in succession, Payson Merrill of New
York, Charles Hopkins Clark of Hart
ford. and now Mr.. Kelsey. As n result
OF these changes the old clerical ma
iority of one in the corporation of 10
members Is changed to a laical ma
jority of five and If two more laymen
are elected as successors of the
original trustees the clerical domin-.
ancc In that body Will pass also.
The six members of the corporation
elected by the votes of the alumni
under an amendment Of the university
charter succeeded In 1872 the six
senior members Of tie Connecticut
senate who had previously been mem-
bcrs OF the body.
