BOTH SKIPPED
Sequel to the Case of the Chiid's Dead
 Body Found in East Canaan.

Coroner s. A. Herman came to Canaan yesterday to continue the inquest iu the case of the newborn child that was found dead under a shed on the Feath- CTS premises at East Canaan Q few months ago. Miss Feathers, the young girl whose name has been conspfcuously mentioned ln connection with the affair, had been summoned to appear at the hearing, also Albert Pottiger. of East Canaan, 8 young man who had lived in the. Feathers neighborhood Neither one of these parties appeared, however. and thereby hangs 8 tale
 Tuesday afternoon Pottieer applied to Liyeryman A. P. Briggs for horse and carriage, to drive to Sheffield. The rlg was provided, and Mr. Briggs thought no more about it until late at night, when he learned that the rig had not been returned. He telephoned to Sheffield, but nobody in that region had seen such an outfit. Yesterday morn ing he called up several places ito the south, and finally learned from the keeper of the livery stable in West Cornwall that the horse was in his barn, where 1t had been left the night before, by ycung man who had a girl with him.
 Inquiry showed that P0ttiger had driven to East Canaan, taken the FFeath CTS girl on board and proceeded to West Cornwall, where it is assumed that they took the afternoon train for New York. Pottiger's former home is in Penn sylvania, and it is thought the couple have gone to that section. Inauy' event they have dodged the ooroner-at least for the time being ...-g .
 Coroner Herman examined several witnesses i'm the case, in priyate hear ing. but nothing is given outifor publi- cation. E

WOMEN VOTERS
AID To STATE,
NOT MENACE
BY ~. D. MASSEY,

fMember of the Board OF Trustees
OF the Columbus Public Schools and
of the Columbus Public Library.l
In just IA few years women every
where win be voting, as naturally as
though it had been going on for q
hundred years. and people viii won
der why it had not been.
There is not the slightest reason
why women should not vote. There
are many excuses put forth as rea-
sons, but even as excuses they are
feeble. None of them will bear i'm
partial analysis
They tell us that women would
cause cranky legislation.
Well, can you say that the men
have passed no cranky laws? Can
you say that the world is not full Of
men cranks?
Put woman In contact with politics
and she will soon know as much
about the subject as any man; that
is, II she keeps up an interest in It,
and II she does not, she will simply
drop 1t, as many men have done.
How could suffrage disrupt the
home? II would be because the wo-
man would quit home and go tearing
around the country on political ram
page, or because tho man would get
afraid of his wife and take to the
woods, or because a woman's time
would be so much taken up that she
could not attend to her household
affairs, or because the husband and
wife would break up in a row over
politics. Do you think that any Of
these things could or would happen?
As to home, it is called the unit
of the nation, and if that is the case
woman is the mainstay of the ma
tion, because she is the main element
Iii the home and certainly should
have voice in the nations affairs
