Acquitted Of Blame For Auto
Accident.

DR.. Mcpherson Crichton, of Washington.
was acquitted by Judges Edward C. Peter
and John c. Motter, in the Circuit Court
here last Monday evening, and exonerated
of blame in connection with the automo-
bile accident near La Plata last August in
which Alexander F. Bowie, aged IS years,
well-known resident of Charles county.
was killed.
After hearing the testimony and short
argument by States Attorney Waters.
Judge Peter said the court did not desire
to hear further argument and announced
the verdict of not guilty. Dr. Crichton, his
brother, Malcolm Crichton; Walter W.
Bowie and j. C. Malcolm, who composed
the automobile party the evening of the
accident, were in court.
The contention of the prosecution was
that DR.. Crichton was criminaly negligent
in that he was running his machine in
excess of the legal speed limit of the State
and that he failed to stop when sgnaled
by Frank Bowie. nephew of the deceased,
who was with his uncle in a buggy lust
before the accident.
None of the witnesses for the State saw
the accident. Frank Bowie, who was with
the deceased at the time, was busy with
his horse, which showed fright at the APP
proach of the automobile. He. however,
swore that the Crichton machine was
travelling forty or fifty miles an hour,
and that it failed to stop when he sig
nailed. He was corroborated in part by
several witnesses, but Dr. Crichton, NAL
colin Crichton and Walter w. Bowie. who
were in the automobile at the time, testi-
fed that the machine was not going faster
than fourteen or fifteen miles an hour, and
that there was no signal given. The wit
nesses for the defense also agreed that
just before the automobile came up OPP
posite to the buggy, which was standing
to one side of the road, Alex. F. Bowie
suddenly got out of the vehicle and darted
across the road in front of the machine.
1t was also testified by Dr. Crichton and
his brother that the speedometer on the
machine, which was set at zero before
leaving La Plata. registered sixteen miles
an hour as the highest speed attained be-
tween La Plata and the place of the ac-
cident.
DR. Crichton was indicted for manslaugh-
ter in Charles county, but asked for change
of venue, and the case was removed here
for trial. He elected to be tried by the court,
so the case was heard by Judges Peter
and Motter, Chief Judge Urner being I'M
able to be present.
The prosecution was conducted by States
Attorney Ferdinand C. Cooksey, of Charles
county, who was assisted by Adrian Posey.
of Charles county. and States Attorney B.
F. Waters, of this county. Gen. L. Allison
Wilmer, of Charles county, and Attorney
H. H. Classic, of Washington, represented
the defendant.

The Commissioners Asked To Take
Over The W. &. A. pike.

Asa M. Stabler, representing the tax
payers of Colesville district this county,
talked with the County Commissioners
here on Tuesday with view to having the
taxpayers of Colesville district purchase
the Washington, COlesvile and Ashton
turnpike, extending from Sligo to Ashton.
distance of twelve miles, and deed it to
the County Commissioners to be main
tanned at the cOuntys expense. The pike,
which is a toll road. has not. il is said,
paid dividend for many years and the
stockholders are said to be willing to sell
out at a very low figure.
1t is understood that the pike can be
bought for $1,000, and the proposition
made by Mr.. Stabler to the commissioners
is to raise the amount by a bond issue
against Colesville district, the commission
ers to make special levy against the
property in the district to pay the interest
and gradually redeem the bonds.
The commissioners, il is said, regard the
proposition as reasonable and are inclined
to accept it, The matter would first have
to be passed upon, however, by the tax
payers of the district, who are voters, the
commissioners being empowered under the
law to call a special election for the pur-
pose.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

correspondent asks, Are you in
favor of woman suffrage?"
Yes.
There Is no good argument against
equal suffrage and many for 1t.
/ With most thinking people, however,
the question has passed beyond the
mere right of women to vote. 1t is
question of the need of womens
vote to help settle many of the prob
lens that press for solution
Such, for Instance. as
The protection of the home, the
housekeeping of cities and towns. the
security Of labor. the treatment of de-
linquent children and many others.
The labor unions understand this, and
they strongly favor equal suffrage.
The question has come to the place
of the duty of women to vote.
DR.. Wiley says the women Of the
country deserve the credit for the pas
sage Of the pure food and drug laws.
In Colorado, where women vote,
Judge Lindsey tells us how when both
political parties had turned him down
it was the vote Of the women that
came to his rescue and made it pos
sible for him to remain as Judge Of the
Juvenile court and do his work of
child saving
The women of Seattle used their first
vote to depose a mayor who traficked
in vice.
In Norway, Sweden, Australia, New
Zealand, as well as in Colorado, Utah
Nevada, Wyoming and Washington
when there is some large moral issue
at stake the women throng the polls
and invariably vote for the right.
Sometimes one may Judge of the
need of a reform by the character OF
its opponents.
The bitterest opponents of equal suf
frage are the machine politicians and
those who make a business Of pander
ing to vice.
They know what 1t means.
The women of our generation are as
well educated as the men, II not bet
ter educated. The boys of today large
ly quit the high school to go into bust
ness. while the girls graduate, anc
many of them go through college.
1t is the women who furnish the NOR
| al fiber of the nation. 1t Is they wht
| through the churches organize philan
| thropies, supervise charities and do th'
| work of reform.
If they can do so much in the states
| where they are hampered by their in
ability to help make the laws. how
much more they could do il they hat
the ballot to back up their demands!
| And, o timorous man, you need no
| fear that your wife or mother or siste
will do anything unwomanly or be OIL
the wrong side at the polls.

April 90 an article regarding the use of
blacksnake whips by the teamsters of
