Baltimore. Oct 16-At the meeting of
the Purity congress day Miss Harriest
Shinn, assistant secretary of the civic
federation of Chicago, asked the dele
gates to answer in one minute responses
six questions, in which she said her
association was greatly interested. The
queries and the consensus of opinion of
he twenty odd delegates who replied
were as follows:
What would be the result of license
N large cities of the united states?"
Answer-"Houses of prostitution. i'll
fame or assignation should not be IL
censed."
"Is it practical to suppress prostitu-
tion?"
Yes"
What is practical way to deal with
it?"
"Give women the right of suffrage,
and enforce the laws governing the
evil"
lis 1t advisable to enforce existing
ordinances and throw the inmates of
houses of i'll repute into the street,"
Yes; send the men to jail and the
women to the workhouse."
The last question, which was unfit
For publication, was poser for the
delegates. and therefore before the
question was fully understood and an
swered the time allotted to the civic
federation had expired, and the con-
gress took a recess.

LYNCHING OF JEFF ELLIS.
The Turks and Chinese OutdOne by n
Mob Of Tcnncssee's Representative

MOD OF 1cnncsSee's Representative
Citizens.
Braden, Tenn, Oct. 16-The details of
the lynching last night of jeff Ellis, who
assaulted Miss Praeter. 17-year-old
white girl, In the presence of her little
sister and escaped, reached here this
morning. Ellis was brought to Braden
last night and confessed the crime.
Then he was taken to the house of Miss
Praeter and she identified him. While
en- route to Somerville with the prisoner
Constable Farrow was overtaken by
300 men and Ellis was taken in charge.
He was ordered to kneel down and pray.
Then he confessed the crime and also
the beating of his own wife so badly
that she died. Several months ago a
house belonging to Mrs. Harrel, near
Braden, was fired at night and she, with
two daughters, were burned to death.
Ellis confessed that he and two Others
fired the house.
Ellis was then mutilated and hanged
to telegraph pole with this placard on
his breast:
mo one must remove this body until
sundown under pain of DEATH"
Later the mob took it down and sent
the head to the family of young girl
whom Ellis attempted to assault in
North Mississippi four days ago. Ellis
stated that he expected to suffer death
for his crimes. and showed no fear of
the fate in store for him.
The more conservative of the mob
wanted to content themselves by mere
hanging, but bad whisky got the upper
hand of the younger element and they
took part in the mutilation. No one
wore a mask.

ACCEPTED BY said PASHA
Turkey Is Agreeable to British Scheme
for Armenian Reforms.
CHANGES IN JUDICIAL SYSTEM
An Imperial Decree Expected This Week.
The Commissioner 10 Execute the
Plan to be u Christian-An
Early Settlement Probable.

ConstantinOple Oct. 16-Said Pasha
has accepted the scheme for reform in
Armenia drawn up by Great Britain,
France and Russia, and 1t now awaits
the signiture of the Sultan. The scheme
Is almost Identical with the proposals
of last May, which. in substance. were
that the governors and vice-goVernors
of Van, ErZerum, Sivas, Bitlis, khartut,
and Trebizond, might be Christian or
Mussulman, according to the incllna-
ton OF the population, but either the
governor or the vice-governor is to be
a Christian. and the appointments are
to be confirmed by the powers. Local,
and not state, officials are to collect the
taxes, and enough money rs to be re-
tained before it is forwarded to Con-
stantinople to pay the expenses of local
administration. Complete changes will
be made in the judicial system, torture
will be abolished, the prisons VIII be
under surveillance, the police Will be
composed of Christian and Turks equal
ly, and the laws against compulsory
conversion to Islamism will be strictly
enforced.
The ami bassadors of the powers ex-
pect that the whole question will be
finally settled during the course of the
week by the prom ulgation of an I'M
perial decree. Contrary to general ex-
pectation, the high commissioner who
will be charged with the execution of
this scheme of reform will be a Chris
tian. This was the hardest pill for the
Porte to swallow, and for long time
it threatened TO bring about the most
serious complications.
