The case rests in the hands of United

tualy completed and it is a matter of
only short time before the issue of
monopoly in the sugar trade of the coun-
try will be squarely presented and
fought out in the courts Mr. Wise was
in close touch with Attorney Genera
Wickersham before the latter's de-

SUFFRAGE SIDE-STEPPED
BY DIRECTOR or CENSUS
Denies Instructions to Enumerator
Discriminate Against Rights
Of Women

Director Durand OF the census bureau
has carefully avoided the equal rights
for women issue III what appears to
have been an effort to draw him into a
suffrage controversy. He received a
query from Catherine Waugh MeCulloch
OF, the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association.
asking him whether it was not true that
in the advance schedule of questions sent
out to census gatherers in relation to
agriculture was this paragraph. A
husband is never TO be reported, how
ever, as manager for his wife's farm,
but if he manages it for her should be
reported as owner She claimed that if
this were true it would be legal mis-
statement
Mr. Durand in a letter to Mrs McCul-
loch explains the matter by showing that
the census inquiries as II farm manage
ment are for the purpose of ascertain
ing the economic independence or de-
pendence of the farm families; where
fore III the reports there would be no
reference whatever to the sex of the per
son operating the farm.
There is absolutely no intention, he
says, ITO disregard the rights of women
but on the contrary the census office, in
its study of family Independence and
dependence, recognizes that the woman
counts the same as her husband" He eX
plains that from this standpoint farms
fall into three classes-those operated by
the families which own them, those rent
ed by the families which operate them
and those operated by persons who are
paid by the farm owner.
1T would be immateriai, he adds.
whether the woman or her husband were
reported as the farm operator, since the
only fact that will he tabulated by the
census is the fact that the farm is oper-
ated by the owner without distinguishing

TRIALS FOLLOW SUICIDE
SEQUEL TO THE DEATH OF
LIEUT.. G.. M. JANNEY.
Verdicts in Several Courts Martlal In
the Philippines Expected at War
Department This Week.

Three or four courtsmartial, with the
story of a champagne cooler behind them
all, may be brought to an official close
this week with the recording of the YER
diets with the War Department, Grouped,
they form a tragic account of army life
in the Philippines.
The trouble started with the suicide of
Lieut.. Clarence Nj. Janney in the Philip
pines Lieut. Col Robert r. Aines of the
18th Infantry was court-martaled after
an investigation of the death of Janney,
being charged with conduct unbecomins
an officer and to the prejudice of military
discipline Janney shot himself after a
quarrel with his wife while the two were
dinner guests of Ames. The quarrel was
said to have started over the discovery
by .Janney that his wife had given Ames
q champagne cooler that belonged to her
husband Newspaper reports are to the
effect that Ames has been released from
arrest and has resumed ms comfnonu, but
that a rumor is current in Manila that he
was reduced twelve numbers. The War
Department expects Il report OF the court
martial this week.
Chaplain John E. Dalam of the 18th In
fantry has been court martialed twice as
an indirect result of the quarrel at Ames'
quarters. He was first brought before a
court for criticising Capt. F. b. Wickham
for what the chaplain regarded as fail
ure to intervene in the disturbance at
Ames' The chaplain was reprimanded.
II shall do my professional duty unde-
tered by any authority under the sun,
and entirely regardless of rank and with
out respect of persons, the chaplain is re-
ported to have said in a newspaper state
ment following the court-martial. IF
this is inconsistent with my position as
an officer, let TIE military authorities de-
eide And they did.
He was ordered before another court
martial The result of this court-martial
is also expected To be forwarded to Wash
ington.
For indorsing in the newspapers the
