Hattie L. Whitten, who was arrested yesterday on suspicion of having murdered her nine year old daughter, committed suicide today by hanging, while in the custody of Deputy Sheriff Leslie Curtis. Mrs. Whitten was arrested yesterday, after her return from the child's funeral. At the conclusion of the funeral services the child's body was taken to an undertaking establishment, where an autopsy was held and traces of poison were found.

The body of another girl, aged eleven, who Iied last September, under similar circumstances, has today been exhumed and traces of poison were also found in this case. The cman's 'husband died two years ago under suspicious circumstances. The only motive for the killing of the girls that appears on the surface is the fact that the lives of both were insured, the total insurance amounting to Mrs. Whitten was arraigned yesterday and a corcnei's jury was empanelled which returned a verdict that the younger of the two children: came to her death by poison administered by her mother. A further hearing was set fcr next Tuesday.

The case promised to be a very sensational one. 35 CONGRESS PORTSMOUTH.

If our understanding's correct what sense is there in endeavoiing to enact, under the prett nee that it is a licens-e-lo- ca! option bill, a laiv that excludes from its operation -1'2 towns and half our peculation at If this bill becomes a law Manchester will boentiile- 1 to fhv licenses while Newmarket and Salem with tions of 2S92 and 2011 will not be entitled to any. We ask in al! fairness--will it be easier to enforce such a law in Xow market and Salem than to enforce the present one? There are towns in this county we suppose that would vote for a restricted high license We may surely eite Hampton, Newmarket, Newfields, Epping, Raymond.

Deerfield Salem and Seabnpok: but under this proposed bill they must be prohibition towns and the people of those towns cannot have a voice in the matter. To bo sure it a majority of the voters sign a petition in favor, one hotel to every thousand people may sell i and therefore Nev.imarket might have three hotels when as a matter of fact the town now hardly supports- one. What kind of hotels would the three be do you suppose? cens Persons receiving a limits! file a bond in the sum of not to violate the provisions of this act. Section 21 Licensing boards may transfer licenses from ono location to another i i the same city or town, but only to the original 1 licensee. Section 23.

License fees shall go quarters to the city and one- quai tor to the county. Sections 23--3D refer to druggists Section 31. Police officers may enter the premises at any time, to keep order, may take samples for anaylsis. and Hie city or town shall pay I'm- the samples so taken, if they are of the proper quality. Section 32.

License boards may revoke license's for good cauao shown, and the money shall riot be returned to the licensee. Set tion 33. No females shall be employed upon the promises, nor any male person under the agu of eighteen yeaiv Section 31 a right of action to a a i for i i caused by the sale of liquor to any other member of the family alter written notice has been served not to sell to that person. Section 3r. In towns of loss than three thousand population, the selectmen on i petition ol" a majority of the qualified voters therein, are au- boriy.ed to licenses of tho first in a number neit exceeding one to each a of the population Section 3ti.

Tho sale and keeping or sale of liquors, except as provided in this act. shall be punUhable un- ler the provisions of Chapter 112 of tho Public Statutes, (which is the prosont prohibitory law). We. do not know who drafted the foregoing bill nor do wo know what tho reasons are i prompted of its features i look to us peculiar. In tho first placo it i-t not a license bill nor is it a local option hill.

i n'oluiii I the i applies only to and i i having 3000 in- a i a Under section 3fi having loss than 300(1 i a i a may under cert a i are made prac- i a i i i 1 have- an inn holder's license lor each 1000 of popula- i but in all other respects the present prohibitory law is te nirnain in force aro 21 and towns having moio than 3ooo inhabitants. There Would hotel keeping be the principal business or would liquor selling? And if liquor is to be sold in a town is it better to have it sold in a saloon or in a hotel? In a saloon it can be regulated. In a hotel it cannot. We object also to a state commission, believing that each county without additional cost, can look after the duties for which this proposed commission is to be formed. We think a hotel license ought to cost as any other, and we i the druggist license is set at too low a figure.

The bill is not cle ar a to whether hotel licenses, and summer hotel licenses are included in the one to 1000 limit. HORSE FELL.
