new ANGLE IN THE
C0RLET0 CASE TODAY
Conflicting Statements as to Who
Was at the House When the
Child Died.

A new angle has developed in the
Dorothy Corleto case, in which Coroner
Bullock will hold aninquest tonight. There
has been considerable conflicting testi-
mony, given principally by the mother
of the child, about whether or not she was
in the home, at 404 Scott street. while the
child was sleeping.
The mother has said that she first placed
the child in bed and then lay down on a
couch and discovered the child afterwards
dead from the effects Of gas. The mother
has also denied this story, doing 80 ut the
preliminary hearing before Coroner Bull
lock Tuesday night, when she declared
she first said she was in the house to pre-
vent the belief that she had gone out and
left the child alone.
Mrs. Gladys Davis, 4O3 Scott street,
opposite 404, added a new angle to the
story today, when she said she understood
that the mother was at the house before
the ambulance reached there. This conf
flicts with the general impression which has
prevailed. The impression that has exist
ed is that the mother reached the house as
the child was being taken out TO the ambn-
lance.
Mrs. Davis today told an Every Evening
reporter that she was aroused before
" iiDth VI titt III NtSfNici ps
someone knocking at the door next door.
Believing that il was her husband, coming
in from work, she went downstairs, only
to find someone knocking next door. She
then noticed group Of people across the
street from her home, on the Corleto porch
and on the sidewalk.
Mrs Davis said that she heard woman,
evidently Mrs. Corleto, ask if anyone had
sent for the ambulance, asking someone
by narhe Mrs Davis could not remember
the name of the person asked by Mrs.
Corleto, but she said that the person spoken
TO replied that call had been sent in for
the ambulance and that il would arrive III
very few minutes.
Inquiry in the neiphborhood today dis
closed the fact that George Morgan, son
of Mrs. Morgan, 4l0 Scott street, summon
ed the police ambulance. II is not known,
however, whether or not he was the per-
son asked by Mrs. Corleto.
Bernard Desnits, 3l2f North Lincoln
street, has been summoned to appear At
the coroner's inquest into the case to-
night He is the man who was left with
the child and who remained with it until
shortly before IL O'Clock.
Coroner Bullock today said that he did
not believe the child could have turned
the gas on in the room, adding that the
child was too small to reach the Jet in
his opinion

namesfrom which the president will select

LEGAL TANGLE
OVER SUFFRAGE
National Leader Of Ants Warns
Delaware of Pending
Litigation.

Mrs. Henry p Scott vice-prcsident OF
the Delaware Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage, and who is leading the
fight against the ratification of the Anthony
amendment, left for New York City short
" before noon, to confer with national
headquarters relative to the campaign
that the Antis will wage in this state
seeking to prevent the adoption of the
amendment at the special session Of the
Legislature.
Mrs. Scott said that it is likelythat head
quarters will be established both in this
city and at Dover, the capital office being
in charge of down State women opposed to
suffrage. In the morning mail to Mrs.
Scott came information from Miss Mary
C. Kilbreth. who is the president of the
National Association opposed to Woman
Suffrage Miss kilbreth wrote Mrs Scott
intimating the effect of enough States
ratifying the Anthony amendment, and
predicting a bitter legal battle in that
event Mrs Kilbreth wrote:
''ln Justice to the American people, /
wish YOU would lay before the voters of
your State, the political catastrophe that
threatens the nation The country is
facing the most serious legal and political
battle since the Civil war, yet it is safe to
say that only 4 few lawyers, perhaps a
dozen newspaper men and only half a
dozen political leaders know the facts
about this crisis, or even that it is upon us.
First of ALL | wish to make it clear
that this is not anti-suffrage propaganda.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, President of
the National American Woman Suffrage
Association, in a confidential letter to
her suffrage followers on December 27,
1919, warned them that the question of
referenda on the ratification of the pending
Federal suffrage amendment would have
TO be decided by the Supreme Court of
the United States, and she asked for $780,
900 to conduct the case There will be at
least three cases.
THE Associated Press correspondent
asked me if the Anti-suffragists would de-
iberatcly throw presidential election
into the courts?
Our point has been TO try and pre-
vent any such complication by blocking
ratification. But il should be remembered
that the question of legality is certain to
be challenged, and all good citizens, we
believe agree, that il is better to challenge
it before, rather than after a great presi-
dental election; better TO have it decided
calmly as strictly legal issue now, than
have it provoke another Hayes-Tilden
contest next November"

PLANS OUTLINED IN
JEWISH RELIEF CAMPAIGN
Enthusiastic Meeting of the Com
mittce in Charge Held Last
Evening.

That there can be no question OF the
urgent need for America TO aid the stricken
sufferers in Russia and all the territory IN
Europe cast of the Rhine was strikingly
illustrated to the Advisory Committee
Of the Jewish Relief Campaign at the
Y. Nj. Fl. A. hall last night by Louis
Topkis, treasurer for the local committee
Mr. Topkis is q member Of the Executive
Committee of the Americ ican Jewish Relief
Committee and as such is kept closely
informed of the work Of the affiliated
Joint Distribution Committee. He
presented latest reports 10 the Advisory
Committee. shoeing that urgent pleas for
relief are coming into the Joint Distri-
button Committee from all quarters OF
the globe.
Bearing out all that Mr. Topkis said
was cablegram from julius Goldman,
sent from Warsaw, Poland, under date
5f March :, 20 the American Relief Com
mittee. This cablegram, which was read
at the meeting last night by Chairman
Nathan Miller, was as follows.
Census shows two and one-balf million
Jews in extreme destitution. Premature
death partly due TO exposure and lack Of
clothing. Present child food allowance
one third normal daily requirements.

least one million"
Chairman Miller, Rabbi Rabinowitz.
secretary for the local campaign, and
Others. explained that the Jewish people
of Delaware have a far larger response
bility. If they are 10 carry out the tradl-
tions of Judaism, than the mere giving of
relief to their immediate relatives.
The women workers in the local cam
paign. the chairman pointed out, are
responding to the call on their time and
attention and are expected TO prove no
small factor in making the drive go over
big in Wilmington. The women teams
are TO work with the women residents and
the men with the male sex In answer
to the possibility that some women
might not want to contribute because
their husbands were giving, Treasurer
Topkis pointed out that even the women
of smaller means could be of great
assistance If they would agree, besides
what their husbands are doing, TO lay
aside small amounts each week to the
amount of the pledge they may make to
pay quarterly. He urged that this
sacrifice would be small, yet would mean
much for the stricken sufferers
The campaign formally opens on Sat-
urday, March 20, and continues until
the following Saturday
The captains and teams will hold
meeting next Monday night in the Church
building, when all members are urged TO
be present.

DAMAGE SUIT.
Excavations Base of Action Between
Realty Owners.

The trial on appeal from Court of
Common Pleas of the suit of Joseph
Wigglesworth against Harry Prodsky and
John Frank Owens, Jr., for damages
began before Judges Boyce and Conrad
and jury today
Plaintiff owns the brick dwelling at 3O5
French street, and the defendants that at
307 French street. 1t is alleged that the
defendants excavated under the wall of
the plaintiffs house, thereby damaging
the property. The sum of 5000 was
originally claimed as the damage, but
Acknowledgement Reinhardt intimated at
the beginning of the trial today that he
intended to ask an increase of damages,
since it would now cost more to repair the
damage than it would have cost at the
time the alleged act was committed.
