URGE SIDEWALK FOR
Use OF COLLEGE Girls

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Sept. 19.-Several
members of the Levy Court accom-
panied by County Engineer James
Wilson and Comptroller Edward G.
Clark. yesterday inspected the road
from the town limits to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Station, where the
county has been requested to build a
concrete sidewalk The principal rea-
son for making this request is the
fact that the new WCmen's College
is located on this road and there will
naturally be a great deal of walking
on the road. Although it is not in
the town limits there are now a, large
number of houses along Depot Road.
There is also much traffic over this
road and it was pointed out to the
members of the court that without a
sidewalk it will really be dangerous
for the young women students and
others having business at the college
TO walk there either from Newark or
from the station.
In making the request the delega-
ton asked that a pavement five feet
wide be built on the same side of the
road as the college is located on. The
members of the court seemed favor
ably impressed with the proposition
and will probably take some action
On it at a meeting Of the court neXi

Mrs. Catt Denies Charge of New York
 Antis.

New York, June 9.-Noto long ago suffragists who visited the antis' headquarters were informed that the program of equal suffrage included free love, disruption of the home and no children.
 "It is evident from the attitude talk en by the anti-suffragists," said Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the International Womana Suffrage alli- ance, "that their state association will push as strenuously as they can the charge that suffrage means immorali- ty in the sex relations and return to the promiscuous relations whicE obtain among the lowest of civilized tribes.
 "The only principle upon which the campaign for votes for women is bas- ed is the demand that women shall be recognized as human beings with equal interest in the government which acompels the into obey all laws Personally" concluded Mrs. Catt, 1 abominate the doctrine of free love, and repudiate those who advocate it, and I know no other hard working suffragist who does not hold the same opinion. Regardless of what our friends the antis say, votes for wo- men will enforce the growing doc urine of self control and not license"

 At first he attached no importance to the dream, but it kept him wake full and restless, and finally he went to his cellar and dug down where the strange vision had showed him the hidden gold
 Still the dream persisted for several nights. At length, restless and ex- cited, he arose and went to the cellar, where the attacked the cement floor with a pick. In short time he broke through shell into an open space, which proved to be Dutch oven. in which the gold in bar form was found. For years it has been reported that the treasure was buried on the Lehrke place.
