 The New Haven Equal Franchise League finds itself under the neces- sity of electing new president. Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers, the retiring pres ident was elected at the Nashville con- vention to the treasurership of the National Woman Suffrage Association, and as she is to be in New York for 8, considerable part of the year, she feels that she cannot retain the head ship of the New Haven league The league is the largest in the state It has over 400 paying members; 1t has fine headquarters; and it does more active and energetic work than is done by any other single league. Just now it's chief activity is the canvass ing of the fifteen wards of New EIa- ven. Every voter is being approached and as many as possible are being pledged to vote for the suffrage amendment when it is submitted to the electors
 hibited in the window. of the Anti Suffragist Headquarters in Hartford It reads t'Votes for Men; Homes for Womenss' Apparently the women are to have the homes all to themselves while the men spend their nights and days in casting their ballots. Suf- fragists prefer to share things more
 evenly and to have homes and votes for both men and women
 The Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association has just published a, new 1eafIet in answer to the assertion o1 the Anti-Suffragists that Woman Suf- frage has done nothing and would dc
 nothing to prevent child labor, and that the laws for the protection o1 child Iaborers are better in the states where women do not vote. The leaf let gives the number of child laborers in all the states where women vote There are nine i'm Nevada and twelve | in Wyoming of these child workers and altogether in the II equal staf-
 frage. states there are 2.052 children
 working for wages. In Connecticui alone there are 5,421 child workers and in Massachusetts 21. The reason for the existence of laws in these states is that they were so sorely needed that the legislatures were in duced to pass them; but undoubtedly there would be even better laws if ths 1 mothers had the right to vote.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS
GA G. Porritt. )

The New London County campaign which the Connecticut. Woman Suf- rage Association has been carving on for the last three weeks came to an end yesterday evening with a very successful meeting at .Eedyard Center During this campaign no special at tent1on has been paid to Norwich and New London These cities are both well organized for woman suffrage and the local equal franchise leagues are doing active work. The cam pafgners-Miss Emily Pierson, Miss AIyse Gregory and Miss Isabella. Sanders, along with numerous assist ants-have confined their work to the small towns and rural villages. Meet ings have been held in churches. halls or chape1s of every town in New Lon don county during the campaign, and in addition there have been day time factory meetings near almost every factory in the county.
 While the canpaigners were in the vicinity of Norwich, the campaigners had the cooperation of the, Norwich Equal Franchise league. Mrs. Willis Austin and some other members of the league opened their homes and their garages to the .campaigners and the suffrage motor cars. Norwich paigners to the small towns where meetings were he1d, and made suf- frage speeches, helped with the dis trfbution of literature, the sale of buttons and the collection of sigma lures. Similar services were render ed by the members of the New Lon don and the Lyme Equal Franchise Leagues; and Mrs. Frederick A. John son of Uncasvil1e showed herself equally hospitabIe with Mrs. Willis Austin of e Norwich. One striking characteristic of the meetings was the readiness of the audiences to sign suf- frage petitions and to enroll in the C. w. S. A. In former campaigns much more hesitation was shown in regard to these matters; plainly show ing that even in the remote parts of the State the question Of woman suf- frage is no longer unfamiliar, but that people are thinking it over, and are coming to the conclusion that it is right and advisable to grant votes to women.
 Suffrage speeches are proving an at- traction at all kinds of social func- tions. Ladies' Aid Societies are ask ing for suffrage speakers for their Christmas sales and chicken pie sup pers; and in several places it has been the experience that the advertising o1 a suffrage speaker has drawn such crowds to these affairs that the chick en pie has given out before everybody could be served. UncasviI1e, Quaker Hill and Ledyard Center all had the com mbinat1on of suffrage and chicken pie during the last week, and last Tuesday Waterford had. a Christmas sale of the Ladies' Aid Society, err livened by aAsuffrage speech. by NTisz Emily Pferson. In other places the sunragists themselves are having Christmas sales. The Hartford Equal Franchise League is holding a sale of dolls and other Christmas gifts, and similar sales are being held in Green wich and New Haven The Suffrage League of Self Supporting Women of Hartford a league with a large mem

HELEN KERTICSHA'S NOT
 DUE TO NEGLIGENCE
Coroner Phelan Exonerates Both Telephone and Flee
 tric Light Companies

Coroner Phe1an today gave his ma in1g that Helen Kerticsha, aged 23, Wnt, was eIectrocuted by coming. in contact with a. broken telephone wire during the storm on December ', met deatn by accident. The girl. with a friend Tessie Borgas, was waking ltL-d,. arln l1. arm, easterly along the wide footway near the factory of the Bridgeport Ma1leable Iron company. They saw the broken and dangling wire and tried to avoid 1t but the high wind blew it against the Kerticsha girl and the shock she received caused her oeatn. Paul Bourjuashi, who came along shortly afterward, picked up the wire and was severely shocked. He is re- covering at St. vincent's hospital
 Tn his finding the coroner says 1n part:
 'It is to be regretted that the low tension wires of the Telephone com- pany were located on the upper cross arm of the pole, while those of high tension of the Light company were lo- cated on its lower cross arms, because Of the always present danger to the public from the sudden energizing of falling telephone wires on the high tension light wire below them or to telephone repairrnen in creeping through such high tension low arm wires to make repairs, etc, on their own wires located above. It was shown in testimony however. that through the order or recommendation of the Public Utilities Con1n1issi on
 made to avoid such dangers, the Tele- phone, Light and other users Of poles for electrical purposes have for some time past been actively engaged in re- arranging their wires so that all high tension wires will be strung on the top arms of poles and the low tension ones on the low cross arms, and that about 75 per cent. of such change and alteration have been completed throughout the state to date. From a personal and physical examination of the poles and wires of both compan- ies at and about the place of injury, the wires and poles appeared in good condition.
 After full consideration of the evil dence showing the quality and char acter of the wires and wiring and their active efforts to carry out the safer method of wiring recommended by public authority, am satisfied that no criminal negligence can be att trfbuted to either company or their servants.'' $

Bf1Iss,r on War,s Durafion.

London, Dec. 12-Hilaire BeIloc, the author and critic, speaking before the American Luncheon Club yesterday, said:
 Three endings to the war are pos sfbIe It may result in a Latin Slav victory, or 8 Prussian victory, or a draw. Of these three possibilities a draw is the worst, for it would hold over the head of Europe the dread of cycle of wars
 TT receive many letters and more spoken inquiries every day as to wIlen the war will end. I do not know, nor does anybody else, but think 1t may be taken as rule of the thumb that 1t will end within three months after the foreign troops have obtained a firm foothold on German soil
 ..The year 1915 will be year of great economic distress. The beI1i- gerent nations are living now and bearing the great cost of the war upon thgfr reserves, and the lean time of payment will follow, whoever wins and at whatever time peace is made
