EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Cardinal Emphatically Expresses
Own Opposition but Declares Mis
sion of Church Is to Define Faith
and Morals.
Says he is Personally Opposed to
Suffrage Because he Would Per
petuate Real Dignity of Women.
UAKTIMOUK, Mil April 21,
Cardinal (ilbbons today emphatically
expressed hi own personal opposi
tion to women' suffrage, hut in brc
swer to the recent utterance of Miss
Inez Mllhollnnd declared;
"Tho mission ot the church Is to
define faith and morals. 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. She Is the queen of
the domestic kingdom and her proper
sphere Is lu the home. She Is justly
honored everywhere by reason ot her
sex. Now if ho were to embark on
tho ocean ot political life, It Is very
much to bo feared that her dignity
would bo Impaired, It not Jeopar
dized. "Qbservo tho of feet of this present
agitation on many women. As soon
as women seek to enter tho arena of
politics, they may expect to be soiled

Inherent In a woman would be very
seriously Impaired by her rude con
tact aud contention with men In po
litical life. Woman's sphere Is tho
homo, and as wife and as mother she
will have ample occasion to occupy
her time and facilities . The woman
who absents herself from her home

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.

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. ' !
