Mrs. G. L. Breazeale,
City,,
Dear Madam:
Having learned that at a meet
ing Of the Equal Suffrage Club,
the making of wills was discussed,
and incidentally the question,
whether a woman could be a
witness to a will also receiN ed at
tention and it was stated that she
could not be a witness to a will,
and knowing this to be error, |
most respectfully call your atten
ton to the following.
Art. 1891. Civil Code:
The following persons ar e
absolutely incapable of bein !
witnesses to testaments:
1st. Women of what age SO
ever.
End. Male children who have
not attained the age of sixteen
years, complete.
Bird. Persons insane, d eaf
dumb or blind.
4th. Persons whom the criminal
laws declare incapable OF exercis-
ing civil functions.
The above is the old law, and
this article of the Code wa
amended by the Legislature at i =,
session in 1908. and l call your
attention to act No. 80 of the
Legislature for the year 1903
which reads as follows:
To amend and re-enact Arr.
1891 of the Revised Civil Code ci
Louisiana.
Be it enacted by the Genero,
Assembly of the State of Louia-
lana, That Article 1891 of Il ?
Revised Civil Code of Louisiana ke
amended and re, enacted so as t.
read as follows
The following persons are abso-
lutely incapable of being witnesses
to testaments:
l. Children who have not Oh
tanned the age of sixteen yeras
complete.
2. Persons insane, deaf dumb
or blind.
3. Persons whom the criminal
laws declare incapable of exerciS
ing civil functions.
4. Married women to the wills
Of their husbands.
You will therefore note that
by the amendment the re-
striction placed upon women b
ing witnesses to wills or testt-
ments has been removed in eve,y
respecs ekcept tslss.ts :: : cannot be
witnesses to wills made BY their
husbands.
Hoping that this will put TIC
matter straight, | beg to remain,
Very truly,
NJ. L. DISMUKES.

Louis D. Barndeis is perhaps the

whose chief fame rests upon his
championship of the rights of

William Jennings Bryan says
tat if you go into any community
wnsre woman suffrage is an issue,
Sau will find that the evil elements
OF society are opposed to enfran-
chi;ing women. Every man who
profits by vice and makes money
out of sin. is against woman
suffrage. Why9 There is not
one among them but what knows
that woman's conscience is against
their business and they therefore
fight desperately to prevent wo-
mans suffrage.

Intended Robbery
Results in Murder

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov 27.-Blood-
hounds and all available detectives
have thus far today failed to find the
two robbers who, owing to nervousness,
turned an intended robbery into muir
der by shooting W, D. Milliken, while
he and his companion, Mrs. Emma
Weilen, widow, were being searched
late last night.
After the two had left their automo-
bile at the command of the thugs, ono
covered them with pistol, and the
other began to search Milliken. With
out warning, the man with the pistol
shot, the bullet piercing Milliken s
heart.
Unnerved, the slayer apologizcd to
Mrs. Weilen, telling her the shooting
was unintentional as his finger
twitched from nervousness, pulling the
trigger. He gave the woman .earfarc
and urged her to hurry to the reeeiv'
ing hospital and summon aid. The
holdups then emptied the dying man Is
pockets and fled.
| Milliken died before reaching hos
pital.

DOUBT THE CATTLE
BEING, INFECTED
Officials Think Stock Trouble
Not Foot and Mouth
Disease I

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-Belief that the
cattle held at the Kansas City stock
yards were not infected with hoof and
mouth disease was expressed by off
cials at the stock yards here today.
The embargo on all shipments from
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska will
stay on however, until all elements of
doubt are removed, it was stated. This
will be for several days at least, TO
give United States officials time TO
make thorough tests.
The view that the cattle were not in
fected with hoof and mouth disease
was based on the report of DR.. A. d.
Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal
industry at Washington, whose investi-
gators went to the farm at Wauneta,
Neb., where the supposedly infected
cattle were shipped from. No trace of
the LESSONS which appear with the dis
ease were found on stock there and
symptoms which were thought to be
those of the hoof and mouth disease
were found on horses who are not sub
iect that disease, experts here said to-
day.
Arrangements for the International
Livestock show here December . to 8
went on today uninterrupted by the
threatened epidemic. Stock yards of
ficials said no attempt to postpone II
would be considered until it was defi-
nitely known that a widespread cpl
demic was threatened.
