Son Charges Father
With Mother S Death
Four Years Ago

LANGDON, N. H, Nov. 13.-J ohm
Whitney, Is, son of William B. Whit
ney, a farmer here. today charged
that his father killed his second wife
four years ago and buried the body
at the bottom of an abandoned we'll,
according to the police. The elder
Whitney disappeared on Oct. 80.
T According to the son, who was born
by Whitney's first marriage, he saw
his father kill his step mother with
stick of fire wood. The man car
ried the body to the hay NOV, the
boy declared, according to the au-
thorities, and after it had been in
the barn for several days, he buried
it in an oldi we'll on the farm.
The we'll, filled with moulderlng
debris and stones. was reopened by
the county authorities today for the
purpose of substantiating the boys
story.
According to young Whitney, the
family's real name is Doolittle. He
told the police that for several years
theJ had lived in Madison, Maine,
and that after his wifes death, Whit
ney had told his children their name
would be Whitney" thereafter. The
father then went west, according TO
the boy, and returned several yeaers
later with his second wife.
Tie boy told the authorities that
he had kept the fact of his step
mothers death secret for four years

Georgia was set aside and Wor-

his missionary work. Later, when
the Indians were transferred to the
Indian territory by treaty with the
United States government, Worcester

mother and father of Miss Robert
son, followed them to the west
where they continued to work among
them for many years. Miss Robert
sons mother died in 1905 at the age
of eighty years.
oldest of all the features connect
ed with Miss Robertson's election is
probably the fact that she was bit
terly opposed to woman suffrage and
made several public speeches against
it, Her contention was that Woman's
highest duty was in her home; that
the home is the unit of society; and
that anything that tends to break
up that unit is dangerous; that the
right to vote and to get inc poliicS
is breaking tendency; the suffrage
for women is a step downward, not
up-a burden, not a privilege. But

upon the women,s Miss Robertson
says that it Is woman's duty to

duties that have been imposed upon

EDUCATIONAL BOARD
DONATES $4,000
To GEORGIA Tech

The general educational board of
New York city, the outgrowth of
the Rockefeller foundation, has come
to the rescue of the Georgia School
of Technology in it's financial strin-
gency by donating $4,000 to help meet
the increase in teachers salaries and
expenses of general maintenance of
the school during the current year
only.
The action of the board. announc-
ed Saturday, is remarkable in many
ways, for it is unprecedented for
the board to contribute to the sup
port of a state institution. Tech, it
is said, is the first state institution
to receive a gift from the board.
Moreover, it is the almost inviolate
custom of the board to make its do
nations in the form of general en-
dowments. Very rarely has the board
given funds toward the general MAIN
tenance of any institution.
Therefore, in the gift Of $4,000,
friends of Tech see remarkable and
gratifying tribute to the institution
known that it made an exception in
Techs case solely because of the
impression it had received Of the ire
mendous value of Techs work and
it's keen regret that the school was
in dire straits because of the failure
of the legislature to give it sufficient
appropriation.
