Militants Now Must
Kill or Go Backward,
Says DR.. Anna Shaw

BALTIMORE, Oct 22.-Mrs. Pank-
hurst and other militants of England
have reached a point where they will
either have to take human life in the
carrying on of their campaign of mil
itancy, or take a backward course,
according to Rev DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw. president of the National AS
ISOLATION for Suffrage. In her opinion
the militants would be glad to take
the back track if they could find a
way, and at the same time save their
faces"
DR.. Shaw opposed the coming of
Mrs. Pankhurst to this country at this
time. because we have on our hands
nine campaigns, any one of which is
of more Importance to the cause of
woman suffrage in the world than is
the campaign of Mrs. Pankhurst in
England" she said.

Violates Rulings Spirit.
Conley's testimony cropped up
again in the twelfth reason. Here
1t was maintained that, after Judge
Roam had ruled that no specific acts
OF immortality on the part of Frank
should be testified to, Solicitor Dorsey
merely changed the wording of his
questions and openly violated the
spirit of the courts ruling.
Dorsey first had asked Conley about
Franks conduct with women at the
factory and when this was ruled out
he asked, instead, what Conley did
when women came to the factory.
Conley replied that he watched at the
door while the women went to Franks
office. This, according to the CON
tentions of the defense, involved
Frank exactly as much as the previ-
Gus question and answer would have
done.
Dorsey argued that asking Conley
about lbs own movements at the fac
tory did not violate the judges rul-
ing in regard to the specific acts OF
Frank. With slight revision, the rea-
son was permitted to stand
The court was charged with error
again because of the overruling Of
the motion of the defense that all of
Conley's testimony bearing on the
alleged immortality of Frank be strick-

material and highly prejudicial to the
defendant in that it disgraced him
before the Jurors and convicted him

Conley s testimony became the
subject of heated discussion i'm
mediately on the reading of the
tenth reason of the defense. In
this it was argued that the court
had been in error in denying the
motion of the defense to strike
out all of Conley's testimony in
regard to the alleged perversion
of the defendant on the ground
that it was immaterial, irrele-
want, illegal and highly pre-
judicial to Frank.
The Solicitor was instant with his
objection to this being one of the
grounds for the arguing of a new
trial He commended that this motion
by the defense had not been made at
the time the evidence was put in.
Arnold retorted that the objection
was put in and that the records show
ed it. The Solicitor conceded that the
motion had been made, but called at
tention to the fact that this action
had not been taken by Franks law
yers until after Conley had been
cross examined by Rosser a day and
a half.
Dorsey Scores a Point.
Dorsey was successful in his effort
to have added to the reason the fact
that the motion was made and de-
MED only after this lapse of time. The
attorneys for the defense maintained
that the cross examination up to the
time the motion was made never had
touched on the subject Of perversion
and this also was Incorporated in the
reason, the Solicitor having the privi-
lege of investigating the records on
the question.
Sections 10 and IL dealt with the
same subject except that one was in
narrative form and the other in ques-
lions and answers. Both were certi-
fled to by Judge Roam after the re-
visions had been made.

 The first performance was a sue cess. Excitement at Wellesley has been doub1y keen not only because of the fact that the name of the play was kept a secret, but because it was the first venture behind the footlights of the class of 1915.
 The title role was cleverly taken by Miss Leora Mitchell of Norwich Conn who made most delightful Fanchon. Miss Tracy L'Engle of Atlanta, and Miss Justine Adams of Hartford.

OxOBOxO BROOK WATER RIGHTS
Judge Case Rules Favor of Uncasvie Mfg Co. in Suit Against C. M Robertson Co--Latter Has Denied the Plaintiff Access to the Gate at the Wheeler Dam

 In the suit of Uncasvf1le Manufac- turing Co. vs. c. M. Robertson Co. both of Montville, which has been en- tered in the superior court, Judge Case has handed down a decision in favor of the plaintiff. The case was over the erection of 8 dam at what is known as Wheeler's pond.
 Judge Cases decision is in effect as follows:
 The reservation in the Lewis deed to Wheeler, 1S37 is not in it's necessary effect one that implies injury to other mill owners on fthe stream, or any invasion of their privileges. The plaintiffs right to control and regu- late the flowing of the water into and enough. There can be no fair ques- ton on the evidence offered that the reservation originally made is as ef- fective for the benefit of the Uncas- vile Mfg Co. as it was for the orig inal grantors. The real question is as to what restrictions attach to the exercise of the rights reserved, for, the fair proportion of other mill owners on the stream.
 The plaintiff charges in effect an unreasonable use of water by the c. M. Robertson Co, the defendant, and the latter's refusal for the past two years to recognize any right of the plaintiff at the Wheeler dam. The defendant admits it's refusal to rec ognize the right of the plaintiff as reserved in the Lewis deed and re- 1ss6, and admits having denied the plaintiff access to the gate at the Wheeler dam.
