for the occurrence Of the COM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 A joint
resolution carrying $500 900 to investi-
gate the cause Of influenza and to aid
in preventive measures against the
malady was adopted to-day by the
Senate after brief debate and without
record vote.
The original resolution, introduced by
Senator Harding, Republican, of Ohio.
last July. called for $4,000. 600, but the
Committee on Public Health, 10 which
it was referred, cut this amount to ST.
100000. and the Senate to-day reduced
it to 100000. The resolution recites
that 100000 deaths were caused in the
last influenza epidemic. and says itS
cause should be investigated, together
with allied diseases, notably pneu-
monia. The War. Navy and Treasury
departments are to be utilized jointly
through the personnel and facilities Of
the medical branches of the army and
navy and public health service.
The resolution was brought TO the
attention Of the Senate by Senator
France, Of Maryland. chairman Of the
Public Health Committee, who urged
prompt adoption because of the inf1u-
enza epidemic. Objection was made by
rCHAtHA Mug, Oi = lGn, DUJ Whcn SEN
ator France asked that he be permitted
TO read letter from Secretary Glass
Of the Treasury, the Utah Senator with
held his objection.
In his letter Mr.. Glass referred to
the new outbreak of influenza and it's
rapid spread in cities, with the danger
to the rest Of the country He urged
the necessity for immediate action on
the plan to give funds for investigation
or the cause. mode Of transmission, and
ways in which to combat the disease
and prevent its extension. The Sccrc-
tary said the proper fund of the public
health service virtually is cxhaused.
Senator Townsend, Of Michigan, said
it would be a crime to refuse an an
preparation if it were to be employed
uscfully.
Senator King explained his protest
by saying that the proposal was an
other effort to multiply the activities Of
the government, and said that the Pub
lie Health Service has become an
autocracy which is seeking "to coddle
the people and take over the duties
which belong to parents. TO local com
and to states"
After Senator France had explained

WESTERLY

Esther Margaret Dodge Maxson, 37, wife of Julian w Maxson. and daughter of Edward NJ. Dodge, died Tuesday night at her home in Elm street from acute Bright's disease and peritonitis. She was taken i'll with severe cold after return ing from New York about three weeks ago. An intricate operation became nee essary and was successfully accomplish ed, but complications developed from which there was no possible recovery. She was married in September, 1919.
 Mrs. Maxson was born in Westerly. Announcement of her death not only was Q severe shock to relatives but to almost every resident of the town, as she was widely known and very popular. She was graduated from the Westerly High school, class of 1903 and attended Vel lesley college. She was a member of the College club of Westerly, several so- cial clubs and of Christ Episcopal church.
 Besides her husband, and her father, she is survived by a sister, Clara M. Dodge, and two brothers, Frank F. and William P. Dodge.
 Rod and gun spOrtsmen of this section feel aggrieved because they are barred from ducking and fishing in the salt ponds hereabouts, as all grounds leading thereto are posted by order of the land owners. It is claimed that the licensed ] sportsmen ought to enjoy some priv ileges, especially as these ponds are own ed by the state, as are also the ducks that assemble there, and the pnds are stocked with fish at the expense of the state. All licensed men have the right to shoot and 10 fish at these ponds, bu, ] there is no way to reach them, only over posted lands. In consequence a compar atively small n1mber of citizens, who

SHARP EYES REWARDED

An Eastern railroad has made a
good investment in the $50 of war say
ing stamps that it has bestowed upon
a 12yearold newsboy as a reward for
given notice Of a broken rail. 1t will
encourage other boys to keep their
eyes open and promptly report any
thing they may observe which holds
a threat to life and limb
Perhaps it will be said that the
newsboy did no more than his duty in
reporting the broken rail, and that
everybody else would have done the
same thing under the circumstances.
Experience shows otherwise This
lad not only was sharp-eyed but also
keen-witted. The notification that he
gave the raiIorad officials made it pos
sible to stop an approaching passcn.
ger train, and thus what might have
been a serious wreck was avoided by
his action. The railroad icmpany's
gift will stimulate other lads to use
their eyes and their wits

THE BATTLE NOT YET WON

The fight of the woman suffragists
for ratification OF the Federal amend
ment giving women the right to vote
is not proving as easy as many Of the
leaders and supporters Of that move,
ment has reckoned. Mississippi has
refused to ratify, Delaware appears TO
be lost to the cause and still but 80
states have ratified tho amendment
and one more is needed to make final
ratification effective with no clear idea
where that vote so vital to the Tealiza-
tion of the hopes Of the suGragists is
to be obtained. There are still sever
al states which are yet to vote on this
question, but none of them seem auN-
ious to take that action. The COVER
nors of Connecticut and Vermont are
unwilling to call the legislatures OF
those states together for that purpose
and it does not seem likely that they
can be persuaded to do so. Louisiana
is to act on the amendment next
month and North Carolina probably in
July.
Meanwhile the nation is committed
to woman suffrage and there is no
doubt that it will become the law Of
the land, but these women have set
their hearts on universal suffrage at
the presidential election in the fall
and are determined not to abandon
hope of securing it until the last
chance has been lost In pursuance
every effort to obtain a favorable "ota
from any state where there appears to
be the slightest possibility Of success.
It seems to be harder to find three
$4,000 a year men for the Labor
Board than to recruit the 81 q year
