Voters of Woodstock Rcscfnd Action
Taken at Annual Meeting.

The distinction held by Woodstock of
permitting women to vote on all town
appropriations was lost Tuesday when a
special town meeting was held and its
proceedings supplanted those of am carrier
meeting in which women had participated.
At the regular meeting the women voters
raised the point that whereas they had
been permitted by law to vote for school
appropriations they were entitled to take
part in determining the general appropria-
lions. The moderator sustained their con-
tention, but the seectmen thought differ
emily and called the Tuesday meeting II
undo what had been done with the help
OF women

AFTERMATH OF SOUTHERN CON
FERENCE.

The members of the National Board
who attended the conference of the
Southern suffragists at Birmingham,
Alabama, are full of enthusiasm over
the outlook in the South. Every
meeting was overcrowded and over
flow meetings We're held Even then hun
drcd= of people We're turned away. The
progressive city, It's educational and civic
advance. and the enthusiasm and sin
cerity of the people greatly impressed
the suffrage leaders. The luncheon at the
Country Club was one of the most beau
tifu ever given by a suffrage organiza-
ton. The audience was asked to rise in
answer to the question "shall the voters
decide whether or not women shall be
granted the vote?" At the big mass
meeting, the vote was unanimously yes;
everyone stood up.

Carpenter Wins From Smith on Foul
in the Sixth Round.

The best that can be said for the
result of the Gunboat Smith Georges
Carpenter fight in London last night
is that it is unsatisfactory. A return
match between the two is imperative
to decide the better man. Last nights
six rounds proved nothing.
There is no need to grow hysterical
over the foul called on Smith and cry
fake" and robbery" Smith did
commit foul, palpably unfair blow,
and Referee Eugene CORR was defin-
itely within his rights in awarding the
verdict to the Frenchman.
But it is generally admitted by all
London papers-and they certainly
would not give Smith the best of it
that the foul was unintentional, and
could have been overlooked by the
referee Similar blows have been
passed with a warning hundreds of
times.
Gunboat had fIoored Carpenter.
The Frenchman was on his knees.
Smith thought he was rising, and set
himself for final wanop. He was
off balance, and launched his mitt be-
fore the Frenchman got up. Smith
tried to withhold the glove, but slip
ped, and it grazed Carpenter.
There was no damage in it, but
it was technical foul. Until the end
of the fight honors were about even.
Carpenter made a f1ashy showing,
but it seemed that sooner or later
Smith would finish him with a hay
maker. Carpenter had knocked
Smith down, but the American was
not troubled by the upset.
Many versions of the fight will be
recited. On what is known now, Cor
ri was technically right, but it was
a finely drawn point.

ElectrificatiOn of railroads Is q
menace to the safety of the employees
and of the public as well. The U. s.
December 10, 1913, issued a report
which showed the tremendous number
OF accidents which occurred last year.
where electrifcation is in operation.
The report shows that electric rules
are easily misunderstood.
'All of the mistakes noted above are
violations Of simple rules, which
should have been easily understood
by men Of sufficient intelligence to be
intrusted with the operation of trains.
The evidence Is that In the main the
rules are understood, but they are
habitually violated by employees who
are charged with responsibility for
the safe movement of trains. The
evidence Is that In many cases operat.
Ing officers are cognizant of this ha.
bitual disregard of rules and no prop.
err steps are taken to correct the evil"
In rendering this opinion the Inter.
state Commerce Commission has
thrown upon railroad employees the
stigma Of being derelict In the per.
Torrance Of their duties, and severely
criticized managers because OF their
apparent lack Of discipline: but not a
word Is said about the law.making
