C. D. ?. WELCOMES
WOMAN VOTERS
Political Advice Handed out by
Lodge and Hays at Wash
ingtOn Conference

Washington, May 22.-Plans for the
1920 presidential campaign were dis
cussed by republican men and women
from all States at sessions to-day open
ing a two-day conference with VIII
H. Hays, national committee chairman.
Discussion centered on how the women
may help win the election, with the
central thought being that separate
women's organizations are not to be
a part, except temporarily, of the re-
publican program.
Preceding a banquet tonight at
which Mr.. Hays. Senator Cummins of
Iowa, president pro tenn of the Sen
ate, and Speaker Gillett of the House
We're speakers, the women gathered
with State chairmcn to listen to polit-
ical advice given by Republican Leader
Lodge of the Senate, and Mr.. Hays.
II will not discuss the League of
Nations" said Mr.. Lodge, although it
has been on my mind a little. The
League of Nations is not a party ques-
ton. 1t is an American question, and
if there is anything that the Repub-
lican party can do, it is to dispose of
American questions"
Both Senator Lodge and Mr.. Hays
congratulated the women on their en-
trance into politics, the latter also tell
ing the conference that the women must
forget to work as a woman's organiza-
ton, but as part of the republican Or
ganization.
Senator Cummins, greeting the women
as fellow republicans" at the banquet
tonight, criticised President Wilson for
alleged seizure of Legislative functions
OF Congress.
For six years" he said. there has
been a continuous, determined effort in
the executive department to acquire all
the powers of government save only
judicial authority, and even that has not
entirely escaped unwarrantable interfer-
ence. During the whole of the present
administration, the real representatives
of the people chosen to make laws and
establish policies have lone little more
than to record the will of an absolute
master"

Woman, Following Shooting of Sister

HOSPITAL

Rutland, May 3.-There was a hearing
in rutland county court Friday on a pc
tit.on for the release from the State hos
pital at Waterbury of Mrs. Mary Nc
Carthy, of West Rutland, who has been
al the institution since May, 1914, for kills
ing her sister. Miss Kate Kerrigan, at
their home on August s, 1913. Mrs. Nc
CarthF''s case was taken before the grand
jury soon after the homicide but they
found no indictment by reason of insan-
ity and Judge w. W.. Miles committed
the woman to the state institution.
Attorney ]. f. Leamy. counsel for Mrs.
Mccarthy, argued that the woman is
now sane and therefore safe to be at
large. DR.. Eugene A. Stanley. superin-
tendent of the Waterbury asylum, and
DR.. Fred E. Steele. of Montpelier, a men,
Der of the board Of advisers. testified
that Mrs. Mccarthy is now sane but
that there might be a recurrence of her
mental trouble If she again INDUCED in
intoxicants, which was the real cause of
her original affection. If she were CIV
EN- change of environment and placed
where the temptation to indulge in liquor
would be at a minimum they thought that
she might be safely given her freedom.
1t developed that the woman's hus-
band Is Incorporate and loses work every
week because of this fact. When he is
drinking he abuses their six children,
ranging in age from six to 90 years. the
attorney said, and the children, especial
ly the four girls are in need of a
mothers care. Mr.. Leamy asked that
Mrs. Mccarthy might be given a con-
ditional release so that she might estab-
fish a home in Waterbury, continuing
to work for the institution as seamstress
and assistant matron as she does now,
but sleeping outside the asylum and
having her children with her. Mr.. Leamy
asked for an order restraining Mr.. Nc
Carthy from having anything to do with
the woman and he cited a precedent for
such an order.
Mrs. Mccarthy shot her sister while
the latter lay on a couch and buried the
body in the cellar where it was found
some days later following a dispute over
house rent.
Judge f. NJ. Butler reserved his deci-
sion as to the release.

make imperative any of it's provisions.
we rejoice in the ratification of the

our own Legislature and by such an over
whelming majority of the Legislative bod
les of the nation. We confidently look for
ward to an era of vast econimic, political
and social progress resulting from its i'm
partial enforcement. We urge upon our
Congregational delegation the most earn
est effort to secure the passage of appro-
PIRATE legislation to give it full force and
effect, and condemn all efforts to nullify
it as disloyal to our form of government
and subversive of our democratic institu-
tions.

ROBERT warm SENTENCED
Ex-SOldier Gets not Less than q nor
More thnn II Years for Murder
Of Jennie Hemenvvay

st. Adams, May 22.-Robert Warm, the
ex-soldier, who was found guilty of man
slaughter at his second trial in April
for the murder of 14-year-old Jennie
Hemingway the night of August u,
1917, stood calmly in the Franklin county
court house this morning at 1890 O'Clock
and heard Judge Stanley c. Wilson of
Chelsea pronounce sentence upon him.
The sentence was not less than nine
nor more than II years in the State
prison at Windsor. Warns previous
sentence was not less than ten nor more
than IA years. Judge Wilson. in render
ing the sentence, tool into consideration
the time Warm has spent in confinement
At the opening of the court which had
been adjourned since last Friday, Judge
Wilson called on w. r. McFeeters, one
of the prosecuting attorneys, who stated
that there was nothing left to be done
but give the sentence. Mr.. McFeeters
and Rufus l.. Brown of Burlington, who
was associated with Mr.. McFeeters in
the prosecution, both asked for a more
severe sentence than was given Warm
at the first trial, stating that an example
should be made of this crime. c. c..
Austin and son, Roswell NJ. Austin,
stated that they felt that the same SEN
tence as before with the deduction of
two years that already had been served
would be a fair sentence, c. G. Austin
declaring hat Warm had been only
legally convicted once. He said that in
respect to the offense which the respond
ent committed, no one has thought that
it was intentional homicide and felt that
he should be sentenced by the court
relative to the evidence that the re-
spondent had been convicted upon.
While he could not say, or the evidence
that was offered. that Warm was not
guilty, nevertheless, he commended that
the jury ignored the instruction of the
judge and went against the law of the
lan in declaring the prisoner guilty"

could locate Irving b.. Smith. one of the
witnesses wanted in connection with the
charges made against Mrs. Parker and
George Long.
Smith, after being placed Until 81 900

%nizance, left the State Wednesday night.
Deputy Sheriff II. c. Lawson located him
in Leominster, Mass, where he arrested
him and brought him back to Barre.

while now. Smith is II returned Cana

in the vicinity of the place where Mrs.
Broadwell was found the Sunday morn
ing following the murder.
His action in running away appears a
little peculiar to some who have been
watching the case. This is the third i'm
portant witness who has left the city
since the murder, while Gertrude Hunt,
the fourth, admitted she was offered
money to go away and was at Montpelier
when stopped in the act of leaving the
county.
1t has developed that screams were
heard in the neighborhood OF the Parker
house the night Of the murder. These
were made by a woman and occurred
between 10 and II o'clock the night of the
murder.
The fact was reported to the investiga-
tors by reputable citizens in that vicinity
and is, no doubt. being considered in the
mass OF facts and suspicious brought &c
light. The exact minute when the screams
We're heard has not been fixed but the

between 10 and II. The screams were loud
enough to awaken persons in that vicin'
ity. The first of the two outcries was
sharp, even piercing. betokening a WON
an in distress or great terror. while the
second was less pronounced and perhaps
shorter than the first. After that there
was silence. Whether the outcries hat
anything to do with the Broadwell cast
has not been determined. but inasmucf
as the sounds came from a point within
a short distance of where Mrs. Broadwel
was placed that night by statement o.
several persons the matter is held will
