TROLLEY GAMPAIGNERS
 STORM SMALL TOWNS
Miss PiersonF Leading Crusade For Woman Suffrage Tells of Results
 Obtained.

The trolley campaign leaders in the woman suffrage movement, who are temporarily living at the Y. W. c. A. in MeriS~ns held a meeting in the Town haI1 at Berlin Wednesday, even ing. Rev. Samuel Fisk, a strong sympathizer in the movement, presid- ed
 Miss Emily Pierson, state organizer and daughter of A. N- Pierson of Cromwell, who conducts perhaps the largest floral business in the state, spoke very enthusiastically yesterday morning over the results that are be- ing obtained and what has been ac- complished in waging this campaign.
 ''We are putting all our efforts in the small towns at present" she said "as the system of legis ature represen ta,- ton is proportionately large. The conditions of labor have made it inn peratiVe. There are fifty thousand wo- men in Connecticut working outside the home. The hours of labor of these women and their conditions of work, both moral and sanitary, de- pend upon the laws, and yet the wom- en have TO voice in making the laws.
 During the past hundred years there has been a complete revolution in industrial and socia7 conditions. As women's work has gone out of the home into the factory many women have been forced to follow their work into the factory yet their needs and protection are unknown to the men who make the laws. Legislation is pushed through which covers men $ difficulties but the men who make the laws are ignorant of woman's needs,
 There is one class which particular .ly needs the vote,'' Miss Pierson said, and that is the aristocratic set-the people whose on'y ambition in life is to attain a high social standing. The ballot right would stimulate a desire in them to take a more active interest in the betterment of cOnditiOns.''
 When asked if the woman could not be instructed in producing the desired results by the exertion of inf1uence over the stronger sex instead of wag- ing this war for the ballot, Mss Pier son said, Many women are ignorant as to how to remedy present condi- tions. Besides, why use the indirect method? Women who can influence men intel igentIy should be allowed to register their intelligence in the bal lot boxes.
 +'The suffrage association has grown to phenomenal proportions and we are making a big headway,''' she said. Some of the most prominent men in the country are now advocates of suf- frage, they believing that it is the re- SpOnsibility that belongs to woman

0xaIiC Acid In Milk Has Killed
 Eight Children
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Feb. 23-UntiI the re- port of the chemist examining the contents of the stomachs of the chill dren who died under mysterious cir cumstances in the Brooklyn Nursery and Infants hospital, is complete, which was expected to be late today the authorities will take no further steps in the matter While convinced that the eight children who have died there since Sunday were poisoned ana that oxalic acid mixed with the milk they were fed was the cause, the fact that the suggestion has been made that meningitis might have been the actual cause resulted in orders being given for the chemical examination
 Coroner's Physician Wuest insisted, today that there was no question but that poison caused the deaths. He pointed out that if it had been meniH- gitis every child in the home and the hospital would have been III, whereas, those killed and those still ill were in mates of the hospital.
 While at first the detectives who are working on the case were inclin- ed to believe that some person with homicidal mania had tried to kill all of the children in the hospital, they were inclined, today, to believe that if it is finally proven that oXalic acid caused the deaths, it got into the milk by accident and through carelessness on the part of some of the employees of the institution.
 A woman employe, who was ques- toned told the detectives that she purcha sed oxalic acid on Saturday and that she made a solution with it, part of which was used by her to clean the operating table in the hospital. It was suggested that some of this so- lution might have been left where il could have gotten into the milk SUD- ply by accident.
 The hospital and nursery of the in- stitution are separate buildings. There are 100 infants in the nursery but none of them have been i'll. This fact, and the knowledge that the oxalic acid was used, Saturday, and the chil- dren taken i'll. Sunday. seems to prove, the police say, that this ac- tually was the case.
