SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro-.

Many Connecticut Suffragists have been seriously disturbed by the accusa- tion publicity brought by Mrs. Dodge, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. and re. peated by a number of newspapers which are inclined to be adverse to woman suffrage, that woman suffrage means feminism, and that feminism means immortality. There is not the slightest ground for such an accusation and it seems only right that the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage Association should make a public protest against the printing of these unfounded islanders on their movement.
 The article in question does not pre- tend to have found any statements which could be construed to give any support to any form of sex immortality in the genuine sutfragist literature. The National Woman Suffrage Publish ing Company is the official agent for printing the literature used under the auspices of the National Woman Suf- fIage Association. Its leaflets and supplies are used all over the United States; and its catalogue is openly cir culated. There is not one single pub. lication put out by this company which even by the utmost stretch of imagina- tiOn could be called immoral. On the contrary the literature of the Suf- fragists is usually marked by the high est standard of morality and by deep feeling of responsibility and sense of duty. Press Sec.

Con.

Owing to the inclement weather of the past week, some changes have been made necessary in the schedule of ad. dresses and meetings arranged by the Connecticut Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, which has been con. ducting a campaign of publicity throughout the state during the winter During the next two weeks, however the series of meetings arranged in the eastern part of the state will be con- pRted with that at Norwich which is set for February 25, on which date the Norwich branch, which has member ship of over 600, will hold its annual meeting. This meeting will be ad- dressed by Miss Elizabeth Burnell, of Hartford, one of the best known speak CTS for anti-suffrage in the east. Mss Burnell is thoroughly familiar with the arguments against suffrage for women, the history of the suffrage movement and its progress, and the rise of the movement against the granting of the vote to women. At the Norwich meet. ing she will tell also of the great in crease in membership of the Connecticut Ol blI6 udllOldl dSSOCIdblUu opposed to woman suffrage which has made it one of the largest of all the state organizations.
 The campaign in the eastern part of the state has proven successful beyond the expectations of the directors of the state organization, for the membership in the branches in the different cities and towns there has increased rapidly following the presentation of the argu- ments against woman suffrage by speakers sent there under the direction of the central organization in Hartford.
 On Thursday, March second, Miss Burnell will address meeting in Farm ington, where the local branch has a membership of over 200. With the waning of the winter season and the consequent increase in case of travel speakers will be sent to town in other parts of the state, the inclement condi- tions of the month so far having cur tailed the schedule of these engagements during the past two weeks.

JITNEY BUSINESS THREATENED BY
 COUNCIL ACTION
Would Keep Buses Off Main Street In Busiest Hours
 of Day.

An ordinance adopted unanimously last night by the common council will seriously cripple the jitney business if it is allowed to remain in force. The ordinance provides that on and after June 16 no jitneys may drive in Main street between the hours of 12 and at midday or between 5 o'clock in the afternoon and in the evening, Sundays excepted. The jit- neys are also forbidden to cross Main street during these hours at any point between State and Congress streets.
 This will divert the traffic that now goes through State street over to the East Side. It will stop the jitney traffic in Stratford and Fairfield ave- nues as the cars are forbidden to cross Main street and cannot make trips without making great detours which will not be profitable.
 The ordinance also forbids carry ing passengers on the doors, side, lenders or windshields. It provides that after the date mentioned the owner of each ear carrying five pas sengers must file a surety bond for $5,OO0 with the superintendent of po- lice. Owners of cars carrying seven passengers must file a $7,000 and those carrying more than seven $1o, GOO bond. These bonds are required so that persons injured through care Iessness of drivers while riding in the jitpeys may recover damages.
 No public, hearing was held on this ordinance as has been the custom iD times past. The ordinance commit tee asked for a recess and reported the ordiance immediately afterward- lat was not read. however, until the long gist of routine petitions and resolutions had nearly all gone be- fore the board.
 The Bridgeport Jitney Owners Protective association is taking steps to oppose the ordinance on the ground of it's constitutionality meeting of the association has been called for tomorrow morning at 0 o'clock, when legal advice will be sought.

The Price of Gagolene


 "A wide survey of the underlying conditions which have scaused the present high prices of gasolene.'' says an exchange, stdoes not appear to juS- tify the assumption that the prevail ing high price will continue.
 The European war, stoppage of foreign supply, and the Mexican un- p1easantness undoubtedly have had an effect in eIevating the price.
 Paul J. Banker, in Commerce and Finance, discusses the gasolene ques- ton, illuminatingly from various angles.
 ssOn the question of gaso1ene pro- duction. he says:
 Ten large petroleum fields are be- ing worked in the United States. These vary in their gaso1ene. producing pow CT from 2 1-2 per cent in the Califor- mia field to 25 and 80 per cent. in Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. Under new methods of refining it is possible to extract much more gasolene than heretofore has been supposed so in the future the gasolene problem may prove less serious than is believed. Up ward of 7,oo0.eOo. 900 barrels of crude oil are estimated to be in the United States fields yet unpumped.t
 s.The production of crude petroleum has increased enormously in the Uni- ted States since 1880. Approximate 'Iy from one to twelve billion gallons a year The United States, of course, leads the world in gasoIene produc- stion: Mn 1915 the next producing country was Russia. Mexico came third in that year.
 ssouoting Banker again, he says: :: When the American supply is ex- hausted in 30 or 40 years. as it is pre- dicted it will be- there will doubtless -Ga1icia, Indias Japan, Peru, Italy, Germany and the Dutch West Indies. where small amounts of petroleum now are being pumped What. with the use of heavier oil for fuel, in creased efficiency in distilIation and government regulation of fields and oi1-bearing properties which are really as much a public resource as water falls or forests. there is reason for op- tinaism as regards the motor fuel sup ply of the future
 From Washington comes the en- couraging news of a report recently made public by the United States Geo logical Survey that an almost mex haustabIe supply of oil may be obtain ed from the shale Of northwestern Colorado, northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. The high cost of distilling oil from shale as compared to the cost of producing oil from wells has, up to the present time, retarded development of these shale fields into oil producers. Moreover, scant attention has heretofore been paid to the question of oil distillation from shale because the quantity of petroleum produced from wells in the United States has been sufficient to meet demands. It is said that for more than 50 years the oil shaIe in dustry has been an important one in Scotland, employing thousands of men. The average yield of oil from the Scottish shale is far below that possible from the shale of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming"

FARM PROPERTY IN GOSHEN DESTROYED
 BY CHIMNEY FIRE

Torrington, May 16.-Fire destroyed a house, two barns, an ice house, a corn crib and several smaller out buildings on the old Austin Allen farm, three miles west of Goshen Cen ter. about midnight Saturday. The farm, which is now owned by Aaron Jaffe, is leased by Ellis Baker, who was in Torrington at the time of the fire. Bakers wife and four children and brother, Edward, had retired for the night. Edward was awakened by the breaking of glass and found that a fierce fire had started from a defec- tive chimney in the summer kitchen where a fire had been built in the stove Saturday to dry clothes. The occupants were forced to flee from the house in their night clothing. All of the furniture with the exception of the piano and three chairs were de- stroyed as was also a great quantity of farming implements. The loss is estimated between $10,O00 and $15, ,0O0, partly covered by Insurance.

Three More Drivers Named

When the entry list for the Sixth Annual International Sweepstakes race to be held on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May S0th, close at midnight May 1st, with thirty cars en- tered, there were three drivers who were not named, although the cars were entered. Since then it Is rumor- ed that one of these cars, owned by Harry Hardness of New York, will be driven by Jules Devigne. The second Sunbeam car which was shipped from London for the Indianapolis race, is to be driven by an Italian, it is said. by the name of Aldo Franchi. Franchi asked for permission to show what he 1nnu1d GO at the wheel recently and Gss performances was so successful that the driver of the other Sunbeam car, Josef Christiaens, immediately. engaged him for Indianapolis; for the Sunbeam team expects to make a cleanup with their British cars con- taining aviation motors.
 The mechanician is the second fid- dler in the cylinder orchestra on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The newspaper photographer is interested only in the man at the wheel, and if the car wins, the glory goes to the driver, even though the mechanician had a dangerous and important task pumping oil, watching for signals, and a long list of tiresome duties. The names of these men are not popular. ly known sthe names of the drivers. although many of these mechanicians have been in every important race for years. It is notable fact that in &C., cidents the average for Injuries is higher among mechanicians than among drivers This is said to be partly due to the fact that the driver has the wheel to keep him from being tossed rom the car, or to protect him in case the car turns turtle; while the mechanician is exposed
