president of the National association
opposed to woman's suffrage, declared
that the suffragists have numerous
hearings before congress and that
their complaint of unfair treatment
was unfounded. She says her organ
ization is comprised Of organizations
in 16 states and number 10000 woal-

When you consider that women Of
our class do not relish organizing you
will see that we have a remarkably

ment," she said.
Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, presi-
dent Of the New York association op-
posed to woman suffrage, declared It
was not within the power of congress
to regulate suffrage in the states and
that each state should be permitted

CASE DISMISSED
Squire oobbs Yesterday Rendered
Decision In Favor Of Defendant
In Non-Support Case.

yesterday rendered a decision in ia
Nor OF the defendant in the case

charged with the supper OF two
children. The case was ordered dis
missed at the costs Of the Anti
and Mr.. Richards was ordered lis.
chargeC. The charge was preferred
by his wife. The hearing was ron
Quoted last Thursday. but owing 10
an unusual point in law being
rough into the case. the decision
was withheld by the justice until to-
day.
1t Will be remembered that during
IN" course OF the trial the fact wa
brought out that the children are IN
S~teubenville with relatives. Counsel
Tor the defendant argued that n
children. therefore. were out of the
jurisdiction OF the court, while the
plaintiffs attorney contended thai the
reason the children went TO Steubsn-
vile was because the father would
not provide for them and. further.
that there Is no way through the
ONO courts TO force the father 10
provide for them when he is a resi-
dent Of this state.
The justice held that the children
were not within his Jurisdiction ana.
consequently. he could not compel tue
father TO provide for them. A former
decision. taken as a precedent. neId
mat a vile could not recover unless
she was a bOna-hde resident within
the jurisdiction OF the court. The
point. therefore. was the distinction
between children and the wife
