In other matters, Individual decide for them selves. " Ills eminence today discussed the question of equal suffrage in a spe cial Interview with the United Press. Ho took special pains to make It clear that ho did not make hi state ment in a spirit of taking Issue with the suffragettes, but to set forth hi views. Inasmuch a the untls and ad vocates of suffrage are now explain ing their side of the question before thu scnatu committee In Washing ton. Miss Mllhollnnd In Krror. Tho cardinal declared that Miss Mljjholland w-as In error when she said the Catholic church was opposed to equal suffrage, and had taken ex treme measures even to prevent women ot the church reading litera ture pertaining to the question, The statement ot Miss Mllholland. In which she quoted a western pre late as to the opposition of the church to equal suffrage, was read to the cardinal. He then said: "That is an error tho mission ot the church Is to dcflno faith and morals. In other matters individual decide for themselves. The 'western prelate' quoted must have spoken u an individual. Personally I am op posed to female suffrage, becauso I am In favor of perpetuating the real dignity of woman. Woman Peer of Man. "Tho Christian religion has exalt ed woman to her present sphere. She no longer Is the slavo ot man or the toy of his caprice, but the equal, the peer of man.

SKELETON IS FOUND NEAR ' BYBEE Bid Workmen Excavating for New Ap proach Beneath old Barn Site Un cover Human Remains Body had Been Doubted and Jammed In Earth Skeleton had Been Buried for a Great Many Years Skull Indicates White Person. Grim relics of so mo tragedy or former year wero uncovered Tues day afternoon by workmen excavat ing near the east approach ot the old Iiybee bridge, on Itoguo river, when a human skoleton lying in aucb a shape that It Indicated burial In a hurry, and doubled trp, was found beneath an old barn site. A careful examlnatton was made. That the body was doubled up when burled and Jammed Into a hole too small to properly recelvo It, Is clearly Indicated by tho position of the bones. The thickness and shape of tho skull indicate that It was a white person who was so burled. Tho teeth aro worn down, showing that It was evidently a person ot some age. The condition of the bones shows that the body bad been burled tor a great many years. The finding of the body followed work of excavating for the approach es for the new bridge. The authori ties were notified. It is unlikely that the mystery will ever be solved, but some long-time resident of the valley may recall some early-day dlsappearance-wh'lch will clear the matter up In some degree. sceneFIIl L Tho llttlo two-room cabin erected by Oliver Jones on a 10-acre tract high in the foothills southwest, ot tho city, which was thn scene of the fatal revolver duel between Sheriff Slngler and Leslie Jones Tuesday night, at tracted many visitors Wednesday, a number ot curious townspeople mo toring out to view the premises. There was llttlo In or about tho cabin to suggest the tragedy ot the night before, a few bullet marks and blood stains telling the story. In fact, those whose business carries them to mauy scenes ot crimes were struck with tho luck of gruesome testimo nials ot violence. Tho cabin Is situated In tt small clearing about three-quarters of .1 mile south ot the crest ot the first long hill, as one leaves Jacksonville ou tho Ashland road. It Is built up from the ground, threo steps leudlng up to the front door. It was on these steps that Sheriff Slngler was shot. The cabin contains two rooms. Ono is a living room, tho othor n bedroom. Jones was In the living room, hiding buck ot a, heating Btovq In the center ot tho room. This la where ho died. A few bloodstains aro on the floor, but that Is all. Thoro are no stains on the stops where Slngler Btood when shot. A search of the premises revealed nothing which would lndcato auy vlclousness on tho part of the young Jones. A few school books and stor ies by Horatio Alger Jr with alman acs, wus thu only reudlng material lu thu cabin, A few Medford news papers with accounts ot the Louns berry train robbing case wero on u stand, but wero dust covered and had probably been thero for months. Young Joues was evidently fond of music, a harmonica and violin, frn quontly In use, were at hand, A considerable quantity of flour, applos and canned fruit was in tlio cabin. In fact tho cabin or l(s couteuU failed to throw auy light on the de velopment of n vicious strain In the boy whoso resistance of arrest led to a doublo killing. ' !
