Suffrage Inducements.

Members of Congress in and out
! of the city have taken some interest
in the Endorsement of the suffrage
cause by several of the members of
President Wilson's Cabinet, There
seems to be a difference OF opinion
over the advisability of high officials
taking sides in a matter of such
keen debate at this time. The suf-
fragists are very well pleased. nat
urally, but the men and women of
the country who are doing just as
much-and in some cases more-to
aid the war cause than some pro-
ponents of suffrage, believe that the
Secretaries should have remained
silent.
The war work doesn't enter into
the equation, some of the members
contend. They say there are many
women against suffrage, body and
soul, who are working day and
night in a multitude of patriotic
ways, just as there are many suf-
fragists who are doing the same
thing. They prefer to see the ques-
ton settled in Ohio and New York
without injection of any official per-
sonalities into it-not even where
those personalities think they might
benefit by taking the pro-suffrage
step.
A third class of public men, how
ever, appear not to be interested.
They say the Endorsement of the
movement by the Secretaries can
not be any more forceful or result
full than the Presidents indorse-
ment, and that the latter will count
and not the approval of the cause
by the Presidents Cabinet mem
bers.
Meanwhile the returns are what
all are looking for now, to analyze
| and to ponder over and to speculate
| on where pressure could have been
differently applied to bring other
| results.

New Haven, July 1s-Mrs. Annie F. Monahan, found criminally re- sponsible for the death of her third husband recently, by Coroner Mix, had a preliminary hearing in court today. Her attorney, David B. Fitz- gerald, was ready to waive the hear ing but the prosecutor desired to put on as witnesses several nurses and
 doctors from the hospita in which Monahan died. The object was to show that te patient died of poison
 ing. MT. Fitzgerald maintained thar with the waiving of the compaint the prosecution could not offer evidence in the. lower court, except such as necessary to enable the court to bind the accused over to the upper court, to the extent desired by the prosecu- ton. He. claimed that in a measure such evidence would bring about trial in part in court without jurisdic- ton to try a chapital case. Recess was taken to permit a study of .prece- dents.
