Mill Take Hand to Remedy Condi-
 tiOnS at New Haven

] New Haven, Dec. 23.-Al1 the >suf-
 frage leagues and clubs in the state
 are being urged by the executive
 board of the Connecticut Woman Suf-
 1rage association to take action in resard to the report on the New Ha- ven County jail. The report was
 made last week by O. F. Lewis. sec
 retary Of the prison association of
 New York, and Hastings H. Hart of { the Russell Sage Foundation. who
 mad made the investigation under the 1 direction of the Civic Federation of l Ne" HaVen. The conditions as re-
 gards both men and women prison
 CTS were startling and revolting, as 1 reported, but the suffrag gists are nat l urally most concened over the condi- 'lol'9 surrounding the women who are coTnned in the jail. One point
 Ill the report which aroused especial inauguration among the memb bers of the executive board at it's meeting
 last Wednesday was the statement
 that girls and women accused of crime of which they may afterwards De found entirely innocent and first
 oHenders who are as yet far from
 being criminals in the ordinary sense
 or the word, are confined along with
 ola offenders and vile and hardened
 women whose physical condition is a
 lerrlple danger to the clean and in- hocent, and whose conversation is oIehslVe and corrupting. Even girls ana women who are not accused of crime at all but who are merely held as material witnesses in criminal cases-Who have had the misfortune to De witnesses of crimes in which they had no share-are, it is claimed, herded with the convicted criminals and subjected to conditions that must destroy their self-respect.
 The board passed resolutions ad- dressed to all the leagues and to all groups of suffragists in the state, urging them to investigate conditions in regard to the other country jails- each league and group to undertake the investigation in it's own country A full study of the report issued by the New Haven Civic Federation is recommended, and the bearing of this report on the need of votes for Women-both that the women may be able to use their political power tC put an end to such conditions a exist in the New Haven jail, and, also that women be stirred up to realize that the iails are their own concern which they will be as soon as wom- en- equally with men, are responsible for their existence and condition.
 All the suffra gists in the state were also urged to do everything in their power to promote the passage of a l bill in the coming session, providing for the building of a reformatory for Women The board also passed a res olution in favor of the appropriation of a sufficient sum of money to per init of the building of the reforma- tory without delay.

RECOMMEND HIGHWAY ROUTES
STATE COMMISSION FAv0Rs THE
EAST AND WEST R0UTHo-
DECISION WEDNESDAY

Word has been received here to tho
effect that the state highway commits
sion last Monday recommended 10 the
Jefferson highway commission the
eastern and western routes through
this state. It is understood that the
Jefferson highway commission will
make its final decision Wednesday,
July 19.
The eastern route is from Ainneapo-
lis to Elk River, thence northeast to
Princeton and north to Mile Lass lake
and Brainerd and thence on up to tho
border. The western route, is from
Minneapolis to St. Cloud, thence to
Sauk Centre, Alexandria, Detroit and
into the Red River valley to Fargo,
thence to Crookston and to the boun-
Diary. The commission also recon-
mended a loop from Sank Centre to
Long Prairie and Detroit and through
the state park, on the western route.
Although the above two routes may
be designated, thereby leaving Little
Falls out, this does not mean that
there may not be a change sometime in
the future, as the routes designated, in
order to stay on the highway, must
properly maintain the roads.
The action Of the commission is con-
sidered rather peculiar by those we'll
acquainted with all the routes.
