Rules In Women's Favor.

The declaration of intent act of 1902
does not apply to women voters. Attorney
General Armstrong rules in formal opin-
ion to Governor Richie. The affidavit of
removal act is also inapplicable to women.
the opinion states.
Gov. Richie wrote to the Attorney Cen
eral asking for ruling on these two meas
ures. each of which affects a considerable
number of women voters in the State
Whether the two measures, especially the
former, apply to women voters has been
the subject of much discussion.
In his opinion the Attorney General first
considers the affidavit of removal act !;
then the declaration of intent law. His
conclusions are as follows:
O With reference to the affidavit of
removal act:
(a) That any woman coming into the
State prior to August 20, 1920, (the date of
the proclaiming of the Nineteenth Amend
menD and satisfying the Constitutional
requirement of one year residence herein,
is entitled to be registered at this or any
subsequent registration without reference
to the continuity Of said residence. subject
to the next succeeding conclusion.
(b) That all women Of the age of q
years or over. leaving the State on or after
August 26, 1920, and taking up fixed
abode without the State, must make the
affidavit of removal and otherwise comply
with the provisions of that act in order to
retain the privilege of voting in Maryland.
(2) With reference to the declaration of
intention law:
(a) That no woman coming into the
State after March 20. 1902. and prior to
August 26. 1920. is required to make a
declaration of intention for the purpose of
registration either this year or any year
hereafter, provided her residence in the
State, now established, continues unbroken.
(b) That all women of the age of 81
years or over coming into Maryland on
and after August 20. 1920, must comply
with the provisions of the law as fully as
men are now required to observe the same.

INF ANT CAN SUE
FOR INJURY MET
BEFORE IT'S BIRTH
Right Is Affirmed for First
Time in History of
American Courts.
COMMON LAW COVERS
Justice Ford Declares 1t Elastic
Enough to Fit New Condi-
tons of Modern Life.

Supreme Court Justice John Ford
in a decision to-day established the
right OF an infant to sue 70 recover
damages for injuries received while
yet unborn. This is the first time in
the history of American courts that
the night OF an infant TO recover at
law upon the ground OF pre- natal
happenings has been affirmed.
Justice Ford rendered his decision
and set up this precedent in pasHins
upon demurrer to the complaint
brought by the attorney Tor lhe de-
fendAnt on the ground that an infant
could have no claim for pPssnatai in.
juries, He held that the common law
was elastic enough to cover the case,
and that the spirit OF tho law de-
manded recognition Of the RESPONSE =
bility of the defendant to the child.
Joseph Drobner, the infant bring
ing suit through its mother, sarah
Drobner Of No. 10 West l1sth Street,
on April II last, seven days before
birth, received severe permanent In
juries, when the mother. leaving her
home, fell into an open coal chute.
When, after the birth Of the baby,
1t was found to have received serious
injuries to the head. body and limbs
through the fall OF the mother, as al
legged in the complaint Mrs. Drobner
brought suit on behalf of the baby
for $4,000 damages against August
L. Peters. the owner of the premises.
William Dixie Reed, attorney for
Peters, demurred to tho complaint
In his decision sustaining the infants
cause, Justice Ford said:
This demurrer squarely raises tho
question whether a child injured for
life through the negligence of the de-
fendant while yet unborn may re-
cover damages for the injuries thus
received.
my attention has not been called
TO a similar case in which a recovery
has been had, although the question
OF a child's right to recover for pre-
natal injuries was considered for the
first and only time in the courts Of
this state in Nugent VS.. Brooklyn

In memorandum on the bill Gov.
Smith wrote:
NO payment that this State could
make would he ample to reward the
faithful men and women who offered
themselves 20 thls country when she
was called upon to preserve the civil
ization OF the world. The State, how
ever, feels that some token OF recon-
pcnse, small and INADEQUATE though
II may be. should be onered as ex-
pressing, no matter how teebly the
gratitude and appreciation which is
in the heart Of every member Of the
Commonwealth.
The bill has my approval, and II
rests with the people for their de-
cisiOn at the fan election"

BANKS TO SQUEEZE
OUT SUGAR LOANS

WASHINGTON. May 22-Another
step designed to aid in driving down

the Federal Reserve Board. Gov Hard
ing is understood to have intlmated To
Federal Reserve Bank officials that
they should scrutinize paper held as Sc
curity for loans made TO the sugar
trade. to the. end that more sugar may
made available for domestic consump-
tion.
II was estimated that probably $3.50,
100000 was tied up In frozen loans
on sugar stocks, and II was regarded
As probable that the banks would be
able TO locate any sugar stocks held, for
speculative purposes and force thsiI

FAIR DEAL DENIED
TO new YORK IN
FREIGHT RATES
E. n. Outerbridge Declares
Southern influences In
jure This Port.
CITY SHOULD WAKE UP.
Commends Evening World
for Directing Attention to
Loss of Ocean Trade.

z. H. outerbridge. one OF the lead
ing shipping men Of New York and
a prominent member of the Cham
Der Of Commerce and other trade or
ganiEations. said to-day: ..
Il am glad TO see the headline in
the Evening World Wake Up, New
York; over the article descriptive Of
the growth of Baltimore as a seaport
and the decline Of the commerce Of
this city. 1t Is time the attention OF
the public was called TO the facts.
The tone of the Evening Worlds
article is most conservative. ceDtas
tions are bad and steadily growing
WORSE. New York has been declining
as the leader % t6fSiBu conineree
ever since the beginning OF the war.
-"An outstanding fnctor in the stu
alton is the southern influence in
the present administration in Wash
ington which has worked directly
and concertedly against this city.
Backed by administrative influences,
every port from Philadelphia to
Galveston aGs been improved with
great dOclD ed superior harbor ia
ciliues. and the administration by
discrimination against New York in
the matter OF freight rates has built
UP these southern ports at our ex-
pense.
Freight rate discrimination Is
widespread and fragrant need sub
NIT only one instance. The distance
from Cincinnati to Mobile, Ala, is 800
miles The distance from Cincinnati
to New York is 767 miles. The freight
rate is the same from Cincinnati to
both ports.
Some people of New York certain
ly should wake up now, before our
prestige in foreign commerce has com
pletelS departed. Statistics Of tom
mage are deceiving and hide the
facts. For instance, the arrival OF a
great liner increases the incoming
tonnage by 10000 tons. say, when AS
matter Of fact that liner carries no
more than a ton of freight"
Commenting on The Evening World
article, Alfred L, Marling, former
President of the Chamber Of Com
merce. said:
''rhe article Is timely and I oope
1t will have the effect of arousing the
public-splrited citizens OF New York
to a menaeing situation. 1t is tue
that we have lost tremendously in our
shipping and are losing steadily.
But / believe we can recover our
prestige If the people will wake UP
and set about applying force Of public
opinion to the end that abuses which
are hurting this port may be romedled,
One great handicap is the preferential
freight rates which favor other Allan
tic ports against New York. Another
great handicap is frequent strikes OF
harbor workers. Surely there should
be some way Of adjusting these wage
disputes other than periodically tying
up the shipping Of the port Unless
We steady labor conditions here and
get rid Of the congestion the harbUr
workers will find themselves pernan-
emily out OF employment"

Mariol, who accompanied carranza IN

There is some uncertainty here re-
gdrding the exnct affiliation OF Hsr-'

President. He was in rebellion against
Carranza for several years, centering

He surrendered last March TO Gen.
Mariel, who was In command OF Gov

When Mariel went over 20 the
