FAME OF CONNECTICUT
 SUFFRAGTSTS SPREADS

The New York Evening Post ap- pears to-day with a whole page devot- ed to Woman Suffrage in Connecticut The article includes one on the Early Movement, in which is described the foundation of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association. This associa- tion was organized at Hartford in 1869 with the Rev. Nathaniel J. Bur ton father of Prof Richard Burton of the University of Minnesota as it's first President. Miss Frances Ellen Burr, editor or the Hartford Times was the first recording secretary ana she kept this office until shortly be- fore the annual convention of the Con necticut Woman Suffrage Association in 1910. Mrs. Susan Cheney of South Manchester is the only other member Of the executive board who is still living an4 interested in SuffraGG.
 The early movement was a move nent for women's rights, for at that time there were many wrongs to De efforts of such women as Mrs. Har- riet Beecher Stowe and Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker that most Of these woman's wrongs were swept away and Connecticut was placed in the forefront of the States whose laws render full justice to wives and moth CTS.
 The new suffrage movement is dated in the New York Evening Post to about 1909 An explanation of this revival as it is termed is given Tn the enormous change that has come over wornen's work and the sphere of government. women find that if they are to do their duty in the world if they are to fulfil the functions which are unuuestionabIy theirs, they must have the necessary tools and the most necessary of these tools is the vote. It IS the cry of the woman Wno sees her children perishing for want or her help and who will allow nothing to keep her back from the effort to go to their assistance"
 Other articles in this interesting page give accounts of campaigning by the Connecticut Woman Suffrage As sociat tion of the Connecticut Men Lea s11e for Woman Suffrage and of the political situation and the meth ods of work adapted to it, while there are also sketches of a number of the women who are most active at the present moment in the Connecticut movement for votes for women.

All Japanese are buried at dead of night, since night is the time for peace and deep mourning. The 5,OO0,0O0 tuner al of the Mikado is perhaps the most all Japanese funerals entail heavy ex- pense OH the relatives. The priests must be paid liberally for multitude of services, a lavish banquet must be given the mourners. and custom also requires that on the sad day the rela- tives of the deceased must confer aims on all beggars who ask for it. An inter esting account of a Japanese fjl- neral is as follows:
 *.Folowing the death of a Japan CSC, the first sign of mourning is the turn ing of all the sliding doors and screens throughout the house topsy-turVy aJsf9 all garments inside out. A priest is then called and takes his place be- side the corpse.

From Lynn, Mass, 10 Portland,
\. Me-, New Years Day.
He Is Oucked but Uninjured--
The Flight Postponed.
Immense Crowds al Portland and
Vicinity Are Disappointed.

Lynn, Mass, Jan. 1.-Skimming over
the surface of Lynn harbor in the
hydro -aeroplane at the stare of his
proposed flight from the Point of Pines
to Portland, Me, Monday. Harry y.
Atwood was plunged into the icy water
when his machine met with a mishap.
A moment later the aviator climbed
back upon the aeroplane and sat on
the upper plane calmly waiting the ar
rival of friends in boats.
As the boats drew alongside the
partly submerged machine it sank into
10 feet of water and Atwood was lifted
into the nearest boat.
When Atwood reached the shore af-
ter his ducking he explained that his
mishap was not due to the collapse of
the machine in the air but was in the
nature of a shipwreck. Before his
hydro-aeroplane left the water at the
start of the flight, few drops appar-
emily got onto the magnetic and when
some distance off shore the engine
short circuited and stopped. Atwood
succeeding in making landing on the
water without trouble, but he carried
no oars and as the machine drifted the
waves washed over the sides of the
pontoon and as much of the machine
as was sinkable went under.
When the machine was towed ashore
later 1t was found that the tail had
been broken and the lower main plane
considerably damaged by the waves
and it will take some time for repairs
to be made.
Atwoods efforts to secure a machine
from local aeroplane company were
without result and he found it neces-
sary to give up his idea of flying to
Portland today.
Aviator Atwood made this statement
TO The Associated Press, late today:
Il wish to express my regrets to the
people of Portland that 1t was i'm
possible for me to make the proposed
hight, today. My aeropiane lies at the
bottom of the harbor a total wreck. I
did everything in my power to secure
another machine and make the flight,
This afternoon. but 1t was impossible.

officers of the Retail Merchants Asso-

awaiting word that the aviator was near
ing Portland, it having been the inten-
tion to proceed down the harbor and well
come him. The wharves aud the Eastern
Promenade overlooking the harbor were
black with people at noon. watching for
the appearance of the bird-map. Word
was received that the sunken machine
would be raised and another engine sub
stituted, so that if weather conditions are
favorable another attempt may be made,
tomorrow. Atwood wired that his plane
cpsized in Lynn harbor and he would be
unable to reach Portland, today, because
it was total wreck.
