Little progress was made today in
the Hutchins will case which is being
tried before Justice Anderson and a

o. Smith. jr.. who was a chauffeur for
the late Stilson Hutchins. continued
on the witness stand and was cross
examined at great length by Attorney

proponents Of the will.
The chauffeur testified that Mrs
Hutchins had instructed him to pay no
attention to orders or directions given
him by her husband. He said Mr.
Hutchins was as liable to tell him to
drive him in the automobile to New
York as to drive around the Washing
ton speedway.
Mr.. Hutchins left New London, Conn

although he had intended to spend the

SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE
FREE TO PLAN ITS WORK
Mrs. Mccormick and Mrs. Funk Re-
turn From Conference With
Out-of-Town Leaders.

Mr. Medll Mccormick, chairman
and Mrs. Antoinette Funk, vice chair
man of the congressional committee of
the National American Woman Sug-
frage Association. returned to Wash
ington this afternoon after having been
in consultation with suffrage leaders
in Nashville, Tenn, and in New York.
Mrs. Funk today emphasized the fact
that the national convention had left
the congressional committee free to
work as 1t saw At for the advancement
of suffrage, not only in work before
Congress, but in the states. This. she
pointed out, covers the situation in the
district, where If an effort Is made
by the men to obtain the franchise
without giving consideration to equal
suffrage the Congressional committee
will be found working for the fran
chise for women as well.
While she said she was not yet ready
to announce the plans of the congress
sional committee for the season. $
work, Mrs. Funk said that efforts will
be renewed to have hearings before
congressional committees in an effort
to have a suffrage committee named in
the House as it now exists in the SEN
ate. She said that speakers before
congressional committees will not in
dulge in preaching suffrage propa-
ganda, but will be confined to present
ing their arguments in favor of the
subject at issue.

Urges Control Of Cancer.
The Importance of a nation wide edu-

cancer was emphasized by Frederick

dress was THE Accuracy of American
Cancer Mortality Statistics" Mr.. Hofr-
The truly enormous recorded in
crease in the cancer death rate during
the last twenty-five years, compared
with the previous quarter century, alb
solutely precludes the possibility OF
this increase being exclusively the re-
suit of improved methods of medical
diagnosis and death certification.
The burden of proof that cancer is
not on the increase rests with those
who make the assertion that the In
crease in the recorded cancer death
rate is exclusively the result of i'm.
proved methods of diagnosis and death
certification. The required evidence in
support of this argument has not beer
forthcoming.
