for manslaughter. charging her with
having performed or aided in an H.
legal operation which caused the
death of hes. daughter. Maude Tabor
Virgo, was given to the jury at 1915
a. m.
Judge Howard West instructed the
jury that its duty was to determine
whether the body found in the Tabor
home last November was that OF
Maude Virgo and whether a criminal
operation was performed.
He pointed out~that intent to de-
stroy the life of the younger woman
was not necessary. IF Maude Tabor
Virgo pregnant women, died as
the resuls Of criminal operation
performed by the use of instru.
ments at the hand of the defendant
or another, at her direction, it is
manslaughter," he said.
He cautioned the jurors that the
age of the defendant in itself was not
for their consideration.

10000 Entitled
TO q Ballot
atHOn1e.
SUMMARY MADE .
OF STATES la WIS
Voting and Registra-
ton Codes Are
Explained.

There are in the National Capital
at least 10000 persons entitled to vote
in some state of the Union; there are
also some here on account of business
! whose home states allow them 10
vote by mail, and there are many
thousands of women here who are
planning to exercise the right of SUI
frage under the federal amendment
just ratified.
For the benefit of these voters and
prospective voters summary is being
made of state laws covering. regis
trstion as well as voting, showing
what states allow registration and
voting by mail and what the general
law is regarding voting rights.
The thousands of government en-
ployes in Washington are taking an
unusual interest this year in the cam
paign and are making arrangements
to get leave from their duties here
so as to cast their ballots. Reports
received at the republican headquar-
ters, 1926 New York avenue. indicate
that there will be record-breaking
outpouring of voters from the District.
Codifying state Laws.
w. J. Dow, a member of the local
bar. is In charge of the work of codi-
to registration and voting as they ap-
ply to the people in Washington who
may have a right to vote. This work
is being sponsored by the joint cleo
tions committee of the League of Re-
publican State Clubs and the Harding
and Coolidge Club. each organization
being made up of representative
from every state in the Union.
Mr. Dow states that while the male
voters have much earlier than usual
evinced an interest in franchise mat
tiers, possibly as reflex of the
greater interest in matters political
that is prevailing throughout the
country, he deems it probable that the
enfranehisement of women, permitting
additional members of all families 10
vote, is responsible for much of the
keen interest that is being displayed
thus early in the laws governing
voting in the various states. The
fact that many of the states permit
absentee voters to cast their ballots
by mail as well as to register in that
way has also greatly stimulated
interest in the franchise laws. Many
who have heretofore desired that
they might cast their ballots, but have
been prevented therefrom because of
the expense involved, now ind con-
venient means of registering their
preferences among candidates and
policies.
Work Started Months Ago.
While Mr. Dow's activities in the
1916 campaign included the advising
of voters as to the laws of their
respective states, the only infor-
nation available heretofore has been
