M NEIL FAVORS
GIVING BALLOT
TO ALL WOMEN
Would Not Restrict Elect
ors' Privilege to Property
Owning Women Alone
His Attitude Explained.
Especial to the Farmer.)

Hartford May 11-When Senator
Archibald Mcneil, Jr., of Bridgeport.
reported favorably in the Senate, yes
terday, bill granting the vote to wo-
men, without property qualification, a
sigh of relief went up from the many
friends of the youngest Senator, whose
devotion to the cause of woman Suf-
rage had rallied to his assistance all
the elements that favor equal suffrage,
including the leaders of the movement
among the women.
The first bill reported from the w,o-
man suffrage committee, of which Sem
ator Mcneil is the Senate chairman,
granted a qualified suffrage, confined
to women with at least $500 of I'M
mortgaged freehold, or $500 of per-
sonal property. This was a disap-
pointment to all true advocates of
equal suffrage, who desire the ballot
for all women with ordinary electoral
qualifications, and who do not desire
to fight over again the worldwide
contest to take the vote away from
property and bestow it upon compe-
tent manhood. In view of Senator
McNeil's well known liberal principles
his report of the earlier bill was not
understood.
Later developments have shown,
however, adequate reasons. 1t seems
a whole is somewhat more conserva-
tive than it's Senate chairman. The
bill giving the ballot in municipal
elections to propertied women repre-
sents the point to which at the mo-
ment the committee was willing to
60
But since the broader bill has APP
peared it is now realized that the ar
guments of Senator Mcneil have won
over the committee to the more gem
erous and NOR epatriotic view. The
character of the comment upon this
proposed legislation has already
changed and has taken on a tone most
commendatory of the young Senator's
diplomacy patriotism and devotion, to
the tenets Of pure democracy as ex-
emplifiied In the equal, franchise
granted upon the basis of meritorious
manhood and womanhood.
It is understood that Senator Nc
Neil will make his hardest and strong
est fight for the broader bill which
grants full municipal suffrage. The
opinion that he will pilot it through
both houses is rather more generally
expressed than the belief that the
measure will be defeated, which is
complimentary to Senator Mcneil and
shows confidence in his capacity for
generaIship.

CHARGES AGAINST

fessional services than the lawyer who
renders them and the client for whom
they are rendered, and it may not be
entirely certain when the conduct of a
lawyer in connection with compensa
ton for his services, demands that he
be disciplined.
while the amount Of compensation
is ordinarily within the reasonable
discretion Of the lawyer making the
charge, yet the close fiduciary rela-
tons between himself and his client
call for the keenest sense of honor and
firm restraint OF self interest in exer-
else Of this discretion. (S2 Conn.,, page
709.)
1.-THE respondent may not have
shown the keenest sense Of honor. the
lawyers ideal, but giving him the pre-
sumption of right conduct, which
should distinguish every lawyer, I do
not find that he has made an unau-
thorized use of his clients money or
property Charges against the re-
spondent are dismissed and no further
order is made thereon. But, however,
again quoting, In fixing fees it should
never be forgotten that the legal pro-
fession is a branch of the admins
tration of justice and not a mere
money getting trade -
The grievance committees charges
were heard before Judge Shumway
ginally six charges against Attorney
Fallon, but upon the advice of States
Attorney stiles Judson. who represent
ed the State, only three of the counts
were pressed.
In the case of Walter H. Quimby
of Worcester. Mass. who with Hec-
tor C.. Mclean was convicted of de-
frauding Emma c.. Benwell of this
city, it was charged that the lawyer
had neglected and refused to return
to Quimby's wife the sum of $3.50,
which had been given him to use as
security for bail.
The understanding was, according to
the complaint, that the money was to
be returned unless the bond was for
feited Quimby' and Mclean went to
Jail and the bond was not forfeited.
1t also claimed that Attorney Fallon
failed to notify Quimby that he Gal
lon) had not appeared before the Su-
preme court when a hearing on the
appeal was held. Quimby was unable
to secure other COUNSEL because he
was not notified. 1t was further
claimed that the lawyer caused Quinn
by to be arrested On a bail piece in
Worcester. Quimby says he was ready
to surrender himself and that he was
subjected to indignity and humiliation
by reason Of his arrest.
The case of Dennis E. O'Neil was
complicated. The former alderman
hired Attorney Fallon in March 1907,
to sell house for $500. The lawyer
advised O'Neil to sell the house for
$1,000 cash and take second mort
gage for $1,000. 1t was alleged that
by, reason of Misrepresentation O'Neil
was persuaded to allow a first mort
gage for $4,000 to be placed upon the
property. In December, 1907, the first
mortgage was foreclosed and O'Neil
lost his equity in the place.
The third charge stated that Attor-
ney Fallon's bill for $500 in the mat
ter of Concetta Arena, was unreason-
able. The lawyer was retained to get
damages from a concern in Canton,
Pa, for the death of Vincenzo Arena.
the woman's son. The lawyer settled
the case for $500 but the whole amount
was spent in costs.

The defences partially completed by
General Juan Navarro before the fin

staff, Who surrendered their swords to
Colonel Giuseppe Garibaldi when sur

being feted. today, like conquerors in
stead of men who have just lost the
most important battle of the revolu-

Navarro and his staff, last night,
gave their word not to attempt to
leave Juarez and were released on
parole and given the freedom of the
city. After their release the Federal
officers were made Rocque's guests
at a big dinner to his staff. Insur-

today, that about 60 Federals and Is

General Oroszco, today, ordered that

the situation the victory has been

the oath of allegiance, last night. Ma

rear tire on an automobile in which
Seymour j. Camp and Edward Shea
both of, Shelton, were riding over the
Huntington bridge across the Housa-
tonic river between Derby and Shell

down into the river by the slightest
margin.
Camp is the foreman of the Derby
Rubber Company, Shelton, and was
hurrying to the deathbed of his moth

Shea managed to keep .afioat until
he was rescued by passersby who low
cred a ladder to him. The tide was
in at the time of the accident and this
circumstance saved Shea's life. With
the tide out the riverbed is very rocky
and shallow.
The machine was badly damaged.

.SUlCIDED In
WASHINGTON PARK

= John Wolf, New Haven nursery
man, was found dead, a suicide, in
Washington park, under unusual cir
cumstances this afternoon. AS yet
no motive for his act has been dis
closed beyond the fact that he was
found penniless.

lance surgeon OF the emergency hos
pital staff. was on a trolley car bound
for his home in East Bridgeport
with Charles Gregory, driver of No.
Engine CO., b. F. d., when the
doctor espied mans form lying in
a peculiar posture upon a park bench,
near the Noble avenue side of the
park.
''The mans either dead or drunk"
said the physician to, Gregory. IF
he's drunk he ought to be taken care
off, He alighted, followed by Greg
DRY, stepped across the grass to the
bench and found the man was dead.
The body was still warm, death hav-
ing occurred, in the physicians judg-
ment, only a few minutes before.
The mouth, scared by acid, told
the story of the mans death. Back
of the bench the physician picked up
a one ounce bottle that had come
from Jennie Hamilton Pharmacy. 1t
was labelled carbolic acid.
DR.. Krause remained with the
corpse while Gregory fastened to the
home of DR.. J. r. Topping to notify
Rourke & Rourke to come after the
remains.
At the morgue the body was
searched for Identification, and blue
prints, letters of instruction, blank
reports, and the like were found in
dicating that the man was John Wolf
of New Haven and that he had been
in charge of nursery and landscape
garden work for the Elm City Muir

WORST TALKS OF
DRY FARM CONGRESS
PRESIDENT or THIS BIG MOVE.
MENT STATES THAT IT WILL
BE THE MEANS or BRINGING
MILLIONS or ACRES OF LAND
UNDER CULTIVATION.

bringing 100000 to 100000 acres
Of land into cultivation sums up the
work of the Dry Farming Congress"
Said J. II. Worst. president OF the
International Dry Farming Congress
today: This Land Is located in regions
that have been considered as having
too small a rainfall for crop produc-
ton. The Introduction Of methods Of
culture that will make this tremendous
area productive will be the equivalent
Of discovering a new continent that
has as much tillable land as is now
under cultivation in the world. 1t Is
even better than discovering such a
new continent as these lands are along
lines Of railroads that lead to manu-
featuring and commercial centers-but
little pioneering is needed in this
agriculture.
When the north pole was discover
ed the world went wild. yet 1t added
not one foot to the worlds productive
area. Here is gathering OF men who
are doubling the worlds productive
area-they are Columbuses-bu be-
cause they are practical farmers and
scientists working ont things in our
midst their work does not attract the
attention that it would if they crossed
seas or well nigh impossible barriers
and found entirely new lands.
THE Dry Farming Congress that
assembled at Spokane last year had
fifty five speakers, representing prac-
tically every country that has dry
farming territory. It was inspiring
as well as instructive to listen to men
from Russia, Africa, France, Mexico,
South America. Canada and other
countries as well as from the different
states Of the union giving their ex-
periences in trying out our dry farm
ing methods and relating their own
Investigations and observations.
The Dry Farming Congress which
meets Oct. 16 to 20 at Colorado
Springs, win bring together an even
larger number Of men, the worlds
best experts In dry farming. The
women will have a dry farming con-
gress of their own, which holds its
meetings, Oct. IT., is and 10.
There will also be exhibits of dry
farming crops for which prizes will
be offered. The exhibits at the last
Dry Farming Congress made a
wonderful demonstration of the pos
sibilities and opportunities in sections
with small rainfall.
Dry farming is bringing new fac
tors in nature under control just as
the use Of steam and electricity meant
the control and use of new forces At
first people did not believe that the
locomotive or steeam boat would move,
but they did, and now carry the
worlds commerce, likewise 1t is hard
to realize the extent to which moisture
can be controlled and what small
amount of 1t can do. The Dry Farm
ing Congress is the best place to see
1t demonstrated. Here one can hear
the men foremost in this work as well
as see the products that they have
produced.
THE attending Of the Dry Farming
Congress is an opportunity that should
not be missed. Nowhere else can one
get such focus of the worlds best
thought and practice in dry farming"

A Fight FOR The
AMERICAN FLAG
FARGO COUNCIL NO. e5, UNITED
COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS, is
GETTING BUSY IN THE GREAT
MEMBERSHIP FLAG CONTEST
THIS TIME MEANS POSSESSION.

A fight for the American flag is now
on in the grand council Of the United
Commercial Travellers. and Fargo
Council No. e5 is doing it's utmost to
win. Every member Of the council
ID out boosting and hustling and maxi
ing strenuous effort to land the flag,
as to win 1t this TINA means its own
ership for Fargo.
Fargo council has twice won the
American and Canadian flag contest,
and to win them a third time will
mean that the national emblems are
the Fargo boys for keeps" No one
In the council wants to come out at
the little end of the horn on this when
the goal is so near within sight.
Tom Dunn and Bill Grasse are ac-
tive in the fray and are leading more
and more into the fold 30 as to be
able to land those flags this time.
Fargo won the flags at the end OF the
quarter ending March 81. and for the
quarter ending June 80 and now 1t is
hoped 1t will be the victor this quar-
ter. But there viii have to be some
tall hustling done as both st. Paul
and Minneapolis councils are out after
the two flags and both punches have
their war clothes on. lf
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Dunn sent
out notices for a big booster meeting
for Saturday night, Sept. %16, week
from tonight. This means that every
member who possibly can must be
on hand. There will be no excuse for
the chap who is In Fargo spending
the week end next week not 10 at
tend this meeting. The local council
offers a number of individual prizes
to the members bringing in the most
members, which will probably increase
the list.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Dunn re-
ceived twenty-fi five applications for
membership to date, thirteen coming
in yesterday. 1t is expected there will
be great many more, too.
