Senate Body
for Suffrage

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Ashurst submitted today the report
of the woman's suffrage committee
recommending passage of the Cham
berlain resolution for a constitutional
amendment extending suffrage to
women.
I'm this republic" says the report,
"the people constitute the govern
ment They are its creators and its
maintenance: they are the govern
ment. That the granting of the cleo
tive franchise to women would add to
the strength, efficiency justice ana
fairness of government we have not
the slightest doubt.
1T is anomalous and archaic, in a
free republic, professedly made up OF,
controlled by, and administered for
all the people, to deny to one-half OF
its citizens the right of exercising a
valuable function of citizenship, to
wit, the elective franchise, thus to
preclude that one-half from the right
and power to say what law or policy
shall be its rule of conduct. And this
anomaly becomes odious and abhor-
rent when we reflect that the partid-
ular half of citizenship thus excluded
is the Identical one-half from which
springs so much wisdom, courage,
cheer. hope and good counsel"

RESTORES MONEY
TAKEN YEARS AGO
Stranger, Asking Forgiveness,
Says Money Put Him
on Feet.

For three days this week there was
diamond-shaped piece of paper
pasted in the window of Mrs Annie
Conways confectionery store at 81
Belleville avenue.
1t was a sign to a man she had
never seen that she forgave him for
the theft of $40 eighteen years ago.
He had asked her to indicate in that
peculiar may her willingness to for
get what he had done.
Mrs. Conway called on Joshua Bri-
erley. an undertaken, to pay bill for
funeral expenses. one day in 1895. On
her way home she lost her pocket
book. In it had been her receipt, sew
eral checks, keys. some small change
and $40 bill.
That evening small girl came into
the store with the pocketbook
Il found it in the street she ex-
planned.
Mrs. Conway found the $40 bill had
disappeared. Her only comment was:
Il hope some poor fellow who really
needed it got it,
That was eighteen years ago. On
Monday evening. while she was in
the store, a messenger boy appeared
and gave her a letter. In it was
enclosed a $40 bill.
"You will recall" the note began.
that in 1895 you lost a purse. At
that time l was out of employment
and desperate. I did not have cent
and there were only two ways out
that | saw-sulcide or crime.
"I was going to return the purse,
but l decided that | needed the
money worse than you did. | took
out the bill, meaning to return it.
and placed the pocketbook where it
could easily be found and returned
to you"
The letter ends with plea for her
to forgive him and to remember him
in her prayers. He said that his
conscience would not be at rest until
he knew that she was willing to do
this and he asked her, as sign. to
place in her window diamond
shaped piece of paper.
She complied with his request.
The paper diamond was displayed in
the window of her store Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday to indi-
cate that she had forgiven the man.

FARE IN TUNNELS
Newarkers Want Utility Board
to Change Summit Ave-
nue. Charges.

In an effort to have the fare on the
Hudson and Manhattan Railroad re-
duced between Park place, Newark.
and the Summit avenue station, in
Jersey City. representatives of the
local Board of Trade and Board of
Works appeared before the Board of
Public Utilities Commissioners today
for a hearing on the petition of the
internal trade committee of the
Trade Board, protesting against the
alleged excessive rate charged be-
tween this city and Jersey City.
The local representatives declared
that the one-way rate of seventeen
cents between Newark and Jersey
City drives trade away from this city
which formerly came here, most of it
now going to New York city, where
the fare for greater distance is
only Ave cents.
In opening the hearing, City Attor-
ney Boggs asked for copy of the
contract between the Hudson & Man
haitian Company and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company to determine
what part of each fare each of the
companies received.
The contract copy was not offered,
but Attorney Harry w. BiSle. repre-
senting the H. & NJ. Co, explained that
the company received five cents from
every passenger carried from the
