ANTS RAPED BY
WOMAN SUFFRAGIST
Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby Says Ballot
Is Necessary to Obtain
Reform.

Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby. one Of the
most enthusiastic and active woman
suffrage advocates in the country. last
night took issue with q speaker. who. at
meeting OF the Anti-Suffrage Society
Tuesday night attempted to prove that
the ballot Of women Is not needed for
the enactment of beneficial legislation.
The speaker stated that a law making
the mother equal guardian OF her chill
dren was obtained IN New York In 1855
through the efforts Of Mrs Townsend.
president of the Buffalo Women's Union.
and added that the enactment Of the
measure was due to the fact that the
union was not helped by suffragists.
Mrs. Colby last night discussed briefly
the history OF some OF the activities OF
woman suffragists for the purpose of re-
futing the arguments OF the anti-suffrage
speaker. t2-a
Early Flight I'm New York.
From 1910 to 1s47." she said. Mrs
Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Paulina
Wright Davis. and the Polish patriot.
Ernestine Rose. petitioned the legisla-
tion for changes in the laws respect
ing women. Mrs. Stanton In particular
made a house-to-house canvass with
petitions. In 1S4s the first married
woman's property rights bill was
passed. Without cessation for thirteen
years Mrs. Stanton. together with Miss
Anthony and their coadjutors, aided
the cause by speaking and by present.
ing petitions TO successive legislatures.
In this way women gradually became
able TO make contracts. to do business
in their own name. to make Wills. and
finally to own their children. This last
the dearest personal right a mother
can have, became q law in New York
In 1850.
when the woman suffragists ceased to
do direct work In their own cause and
devoted themselves to patriotic work un-
der the war and subsequent years OF re-
construction, this law was repealed.
Then the suffrage workers again took up
their earnest protests and appeals. and
finally the Buffalo women's Educational
and industrial Union took the matter up
and systematically concentrated its ef-
forts on the legislature until the law was
re-enacted.
The women's Industrial and Educa-
tionaI Union was not distinctly a woman
suffrage society. but the majority Of its
members were suffragists. II was formed
through the efforts OF Julia Ward Howe,
the distinguished advocate Of equal
rights. The speaker at the anti-suffrage
meeting Tuesday. night certainly took an
illustration to substantiate
her claim that favorable laws are easily
obtained by women without the ballot. as
Il was only after the most earnest efforts.
nearly fifty years of suffrage
work. that New York finally took this
step"

HEALTH BULLETIN
Is OPTIMISTIC
Typhoid Cases Show Decrease Over
1911, but Chickenpox Condi-
tions Are Less Favorable.

There were thirteen deaths in the Dis
tric during the past week resulting from
violence. according to the weekly buIle-
tin of the health department, which was
made public late yesterday afternoon.
There were two homicides and three sui
cldes. One death was caused by a De-
destrian being run over by a wagon; a
street car accident caused another death;
one person died from burns. and two
from falls. One death was attributed to
exposure. tEE
During the week there were 14S deaths,
whereas, during the,a preceding week,
there were only l32 deasnS- There was a
noticeable increase in the death rate
among the colored people The rate was
Bis. while for the corresponding period
last year the rate was only 2o.2 Out of
the twenty-five deaths caused by con-
sumption during the past week, thirteen
were colored patients. Ten OF the twen-
ty-one persons who died from pneumonia
were colored. Out OF the twenty persons
who died from heart disease. eight were
colored. There were two deaths OF COL
ored infants under one year Of age.
III Births Reported.
During the week there were III births
reported to the health Office. or this
number. III were whitea and 81 were
colored
"A gratifying condition" reads the re-
port. ''is revealed with regards to ty-
phoid fever, when comparison of this
past weeks record is made with the
1911 period, there being twenty-six less
cases on hand this year, which is fur
ther demonstrated as a substantial de-
cline in the prevalence of this disease,
from the fact that during the 1911 period
there were the same number of cases
reported as during this past week, that
is, five. At the close Of this report for
ty-two cases appear of record
Whooping cough cases were increased
by sixteen, and measles cases advanced
from sixty-one to seventy-three. Tuber-
culosis cases Increased from l,eO2 to ,907.
on the books OF the office is thought to
be due TO the, fact that many cases have
been disposed OF by death or recovery or
removal. and have not been reported TO
the office. =.
'Chickenpox eases do not compare so
favorably with conditions existing last
year" reads the bulletin. land attention
might well be given to the danger OF
allowing children to contract this disease
with the idea that II does not prove seri-
Gus. While chickenpox. itself does not
prove fatal as a rule. yet a patient suf-
fering from the disease is liable to seri-
Gus complications IL a cold be added to
his or her ailment. There We're thirty
four cases reported and thirty-three dis
charged this past week, leaving lS5 cases
on hand"
