ANTS AND PRO- -SUFFS INDULGE IN ACRIMONIOUS DISCUSSION AT
 HARTFORD; SENATE WIT PRES|DES
Second Hearing of Two Equal Suffrage Bills to Give Women of State the Vote Develops in Charges of Duplicity Being Tinted at Pro Suffs by Antis

Remy if she appeared as an author ized representative of the federation. She admitted that she appeared merely as an individual member of the exec utive committee, "an observer who knew what was going on,'' and she declared if the suffragists would adopt such tactics in matter of this sort, it would not be wise to entruSt them with the ballot
 Miss Marjorie Dorman, formerly of Virginia now a law student in New York city, made virtually the same speech before the woman suffrage committee as she delivered before the judiciary committee, at a former hear ing evoking applause even from the most ardent of the suffragists,i whose arguments she had brought from New York city to refute.
 Mrs. Markham, who had been badgered at the former hearing, and through the columns of the press, by the suffragists, reiterated her allega- tion that the anti -suffrag gists have joined hands with the liquor interests to beat the bills, and took the trouble to state her position as to Bill No. s05.
 Prohibition is a mans job,' de- clared Mrs. Markham, land I believe in leaving it to the men,"
 Mrs Hepburn, concluding her re- buttal, referred to the opponents of The two measures, as the bartenders, the saloonkeepers, and the women who don't understand the purport of the measures.
 Statistics adduced by the suffragists showed a membership of over 1000 in the state association. The charge was made that many had signed the membership cards on representation that they were giving expression, in so doing, merely to their favoring pro- hibition, child welfare, or similar measures. These charges were de- ned by the suffrage leaders.
 As during the former hearing, the ArgumentS on Bill SO5 were based, from the opponents viewpoint, on the assumption that to give the women the vote, meant to sweep Connecticut with prohibition wave.
 In this connection Miss Dornan tad little fun at the expense of the suffragists. She recalled Harriet Stanton Blatch, suffrage apostle, as the great leader of the movement in England and America for many years. And all her revenue, her only means of support, came from her husband, a wealthy brewer said the eloquent Yirginian.
 The suffragists have little hope for a favorable report from the commit tee. They have openly expressed their. belief that the committee is pre- meditately packed against them. Speaker Healy, who named the Il house members, is openly opposed to the5 movement and his feelings to- wards the suffragists was not improv- ed any by the action of their cham pions, two weeks ago, in seeking to override his ruling, when he re-refer- red to the committee on equal suffrag these bills, already heard, and r. ported by the committee on the jud ciary.

the heads began to develop the leaves may be tied over them in order to exclude the light and keep the heads white. Caulif1ower requires rich, moist soil and thrives best under ir- rigation. The tender heads of this vegetable are boiled with butter or cream ,and also used for pickling.
 The roots of the parsnip are dug late in the fall and stored in cellars or pits much as cabbage Is, or else are allowed to remain where they are grown and are dug as required for use. All roots not dug during the winter, however, should be removed from the garden, as they will produce seed the second season and become of a weedy nature. When the par snip has been allowed to run wild in this way the root is considered to be poisonous.
 The seeds of parsnips should be sown as early as convenient in the spring in rows 8 inches to three feet apart. The plants should later be thinned to stand three inches apart in the row. A rich Soil with frequent cultivation is necessary for success with this crop The roots are boiled until I6nQ0T anu lIlcA Cut III SilCOo and Drowned in butter or roasted with meat in the same way that potatoes are.
 Carrots are cultivated in practically the same way as the parsn1p, but are not thinned so much and are allowed to grow almost as thickly as planted. Those not used during the summer are dug in the autumn and stored in the same manner as parsnips or turnlps If there is a surplus it may be fed sna aripgly to horses and mules or cat tle
 Turnips are used largely in com bination with potatoes, cabbage, and meat in boiled dishes. They are also mashed like potatoes and are desir- able addition to the ordinary winter fare They require rich soil and may be grown either as an early or late crop. For late crop 1t is GUS tomary to SOW the seeds broadcast on land from which some early crop has been removed. In the North this is generally done during July or August, but the usual time is later in the South. The plants are quite hardy and the roots need not be gathered until after several frosts. They may then be stored in cellar or buried in pit outside. Before storing, the tops should be removed. If an early crop is desired the seed should be removed. If an early crop is desir-

HOME GARDEN
 PLANTING FOR
 USE IN WINTER

Washington, D. C., April. 5-There are number of vegetables which, though grown in the summer, are usu- ally planted for use in the following winter An adequate supply of these produced in the home sarden will do much to make the family's winter fare more attractive and more eco- nomical. Among garden products of this type may be named cabbage, car rots, parsnips, turnips and rutaba- gas.
 Both early and late varieties of cabbage are grown extensively. In the north early cabbage may be plant ed in the hotbed during February and transplanted to the open ground as soon as the soil is ready to be work ed. For a late crop it is customary to plant the seeds in a bed in the open ground in May or June and trans plant them to the garden in July. For cabbage of this character the soil should be heavier and more retertive of moisture than for early cabbage, which requires a rich, warm soil in order to reach maturity quickly. For the late variety it is not desirable to have too rich soil, as the heads are liable to burst. Cabbages should be set in rows 90 to 36 inches apart the plants standing IA to IS inches apart in the row.
 To store cabbage the heads should be buried in pits or placed in cellars. One method is to dig a trench about 18 inches deep and three feet wide and set the cabbage upright with the heads close together, and the roots embedded in the soil. When cold weather comes the heads are covered lightly with straw and three or four inches of earth put in Slight freez- ing does not injure cabbage, but it should not be subjected to repeated freezing and thawing. Early cab bage can not be kept, as it does not stand hot weather we'll It should be used soon after 1t has formed a solid head.
 Cauli1ower is cultivated in much . the same way as cabbage, but when

Green, Head of
 National Biscuit Co.
 Drew His Own Will

Greenwich, April 5.-The six chill dren of the late Adolphus W. Green. who for many years had summer residence at Belle Haven, will only receive the income from the estate estimated at several million dollars, by provisions of the will admitted to pro- bate recently. A trust will be creat- ed in the Astor Trust Co.,. by the chil- dren. with provisions to carry out MT. Greens wishes
 MT. Green, who was president of the National Biscuit Co.,, and lawyer, drew his own will in Illinois, and coun- sel fear that owing to the difference in the statutes regarding wills in H. linois and New York there may oe some question of it's validity since MT. Green had been a resident of New York several years prior to his death. Under these circumstances Charles r. Northrup, attorney for the children and the Astor Trust Co.,, said that the estate, instead of being administered as MT. Green had desired, might be divided among the six children. There have been rumors of contest, but they were declared due to the com plications which the agreement eltm-l mates.
 Mrs. Green, now deceased, is left s10O,O00, together with numerous paintings and works of art and the family home, in addition to provsomg incomes for her and the children. She is also named as executrix and the Equitable Trust Co.,, of Chicago, is named as executor.
 There Is also 8 provision that when John R. Green, son of the testator be- comes twenty-three years of age he becomes a co-partner
 becomes a co-executor. In a codicil attached to the will made after Mrs. Greens death, the Astor Trust Co.,. Is made the sole executor and trustee
 The children are Mrs. O. B. Carrott, of Greenwich; Mrs. l.. P. Crdway, IT,, of St. Paul, Minn.; Mrs. Norman P. Rearn, Mrs. B. B. Howard, Miss Eliza beth l.. Green and John R. Green, of New York.

Especial to The Farmer.)


 Hartford, April 5.-More bitter than before, with sensational charges of dupheity in the obtaining of member ship in the Connecticut Equal Fran chise league, the object of much con- tention, the second hearing of the two equal suffrage bills which aim to give women of Connecticut the right to vote in municipal and presidential elections (House Bill 635) and the right to vote on excise questions, was attended by women from all parts of the state.
 "A brilliant array of the tricolor of the suffragists, the national colors, and the banners of the county delegations, frightened the hall of the House, the capacity of which was taxed so that the galleries were called upon to ac- commodate the overflow.
 The Committee on Woman Suffrage gave to the contending factions a hearing that continued for more than four hours. Senator John H. Barnes, Named as the wit of the Senate, pre- sided as the Senate chairman of tn committee, giving broad leeway to all who wished to speak.
 Prominent among the ranks of the at1ti-suffragists, wearing the red rose, en1blematic of their cause, was Mrs. uldA hOppt1lIIldII, WlIo Ol Cle other Senate member of the commit tee.
 Although the suffragists had pro- tested against the repetition of the hearing. they were out in equally as large numbers as before The com mittee on woman suffrage, it's full membership, sat through the hearing until it's close, in this way extending more courtesy to the speakers than was shown by the Judiciary commit tee, whose members dwinldled away during the hearing until at it's close, there were less than half the mem bership present.
 Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn led the cause of the pro- suffragists, in the bill relating to the granting of the right of franchise to women in municipal and national elections, and Mrs. Daniel A. Markham, the opposition, in the ca pacities as presidents of the respective state organizations.
 The forces which lined up for and against the excise measure were di- rected respectively by H. H. Spooner of Kensington, state legislative agent of the Prohibition party. and Corne- Illus J. Danaher, attorney, of Meriden. Fred W. Orr, legislative agent of the Connecticut Liquor Dealers associa- tion, made a strong speech against the mea sure.
 Exitenfent began when Miss Remy ofsNew Canaan, a member of the state executfve board of the Federation of Women's Clubs of the state, charged trickery in the passage, at the last state convention of the resolution en- dorsing the suffrage cause. She de- tailed the circumstances, and said that while the vote as 1t stands is s32 to 22 in favor of equal franchise. if the suf- fragdsts had not resorted top Explicitly. they would have boiled a vote of the, full convention and the resu1t,s she de- clared, would have been 72 to 32 against the measure.
 Mrs. Hepburn interrupted, with the consent of the chairman, to ask Miss

Says His Auto Was
 Injured By Horse

Declaring that a man on horseback ran into his automobile and damaged the car, Charles Cutbill of White Plains, N. Y., has filed papers in the common pleas court in a $500 suit against Leland Close of Norwalk. It is alleged that October 1, 1916 the plaintiff was driving in Norwalk when Close and a party of friends approach ed on horseback. Cutbill claims the defendants horse was driven so reck- lessly that the animal struck the car. The suit is returnable to the May term.

ed the seed should be sown in drills 12 to 1 inches apart as early in the spring as the condition of the soil will permit. After the plants appear they are thinned to about 8 inches. Two pounds of seed are required to plant an acre.
 The rutabaga is quite similar to the, turnip and Is grown in much the same way. It requires more space, how ever, and a longer period for it's growth It is used to a considerable extent for stock feed and has the ad- vantage of being quite hardy.

SEEK PRESIDENTS VIEW
ON FOOD CONTROL BILL
Senators Martin and Simmons to
Confer With Mr., Wilson This
Afternoon on Tangle.

President Wilson's views on the food
control bill tangle will be sought by
democratic leaders in the Senate this
afternoon. Senator Martin. democratic
floor leader, and Senator Simmons.
have asked for a conference with the
President.
While the senator's declined to say
what they intended to suggest to the
President, it was freely admitted that
they would talk over the food control
bill. the opposition to certain parts Of
which has caused long delay on the
measure in the Senate.
It was suggested that the President
might come to the Capitol and address
Congress. or the Senate alone. on the
subject Of food CONTROL but leaders to-
day denied that they had any knowI-
edge Of such plan on the part Of the
President.
The tangle in which the Senate finds
itself over the food control bill has be-
come SO great that the passage Of the
bill is threatened.
The prohibition features of the bill,
added to the attempt on the part of
some of the senators to load down the
bill with amendments including in the
control provisions Of the bill cotton,
steel. lumber. hides and other articles,
are given as the causes of the unfavor-
able situation.
The Senate committee on agriculture
met today and worked a short time on
the Gore substitute for the bill 1t was
decided not to offer the substitute as a
committee amendment. but to let the
consideration of the bill continue as at
present. open to any or all the amend
ments proposed in the substitute.
Senator Gore offered the substitute
himself, however, as an individual
member of the Senate.

Too Much Importance
Should Not Be Attached
to Strife in Germany

Acting Secretary Polk gave warning
at the State Department today against
attributing too much Importance to
Germany's threatened political up-
heaval. The apparent passing of of the
crisis into merely an internal shake-un
confirmed semi-official estimates yes-
terday. and led Mr.. Polk to summarixe
the departments attitude as follows.
1T Is well not to exaggerate the real
meaning of Germanys Internal strife
on her foreign policies or on her efforts
In the war. Any changes that NAV
take place there would be much more
important IL they affected the military
rather than the civilian. If they reach
ed men like Hindenburg and Luden-
dorf, for instance"
Mr.. Polk pointed to the view of the
London press, which attaches yery lit
tie but internal Importance to the cri-
sis now on, and to the fact that the lat
est news from Germany indicates an
easing of the situation all the way
through and the probable continuance
OF most OF the present government.
The presence In Washington Of for
mer Charge Grow, from Berlin and vi
emma. and U. 8. Grant-Smith, from vi
emma, gives the government a yerv
good means Of valuing news from Ger
many and Austria.
