Votes for Women Barred by New

TRENTON. N. j., April 12.-Justice
Kalisch of the New Jersey supreme court
today rendered an opinion holding that
the constitution of New Jersey does not
give the right to women to vote.
Justice Kalisch dismissed rule to show
why a writ of mandamus should not is
sue compelling the members of the boar0
of registration and election of Passaic
township. Morris county, to register the
name of Harriet e. Carpenter that she
might be qualified to vote. The fight was
carried to the supreme court by Mary A.
Philbrook, as counsel. upon the refusal OF
the board to register the woman. The ACT
of 1884 calling for constitutional con-
vention to decide the right of women to
vote and which excluded women from the
vote is the fundamental law Of this state.
