RELIGIOUS GIRL STUDENTS.
Smith College Has a Wnve of Chris
tian Revival to Contend
With

Northampton. Mass, Nov. 9.-Smith col
lege is in the throcs of religious revival
and the senior class is responsible for it.
That traditionally powerful body is exer-
cisins this year an unusual influence over
the other students. A remarkable religious
fcrvo: has been the leading characteristic
of '9S. and this has sifted through the lower
classes until the religious sentiment is like
ly To become the striking feature of the
cclego itself.
ALI college girls are thought by the world
t. be serious minded. Some are more seri-
Gus than others, however. and Smith col
lege has had its share of light hearted stu
dents. The present strong religious senti-
niert is thought to be A reaction from in
fluences of previous classes.
Glass prayer meetings. at the instisation
of '9S students have brought new feature
TO Smith college. The restraint the religious
Smitl. girl has felt in the past has given
way to freedom of expression In most un-
usual degree.
The faculty grants that 1t has a difficult
task TO foster the religious movement and
at the same time to prevent undue mental
strain and excitement.

A Judges Conduct to be Investi-
gated


Some time ago the ADVOCATE noted the
fact that William VI. Seaman, federal
Judge 10 Chicago, had ordered a juror I'M
der arrest because he declined to agree TO
verdict directed to be rendered by the
jury. The juror was Mr. Julius Clayton,
native Of Cecil county this state. 1t
would seem that if the court has the power
to determine verdict it is useless to waste
TIME and money on juries
Mr.. Clayton was impaneled juror in
the case of Maria CahiIl against the Chi
cage, Milwaukee and st Paul Railway
Company. The plaintiff had both feet cut
off by an engine on the road of the de
PENDANT The plaintiff claimed gross care
lessness and negligence on the part Of the
defendant, in not having taken due pre-
caution to protect human life at public
crossing. The defendant denied that the
point where the accident occurred was
public crossing and held that the plaintiff
was trespasser.
Judge Seaman adopted the view taken
by the defendant and directed verdict be
rendered accordingly Mr.. Clayton took
an opposite view and declined to comply
with the order Of the court. According
to his understanding of the evidence his
oath and conscience would not permit him
to render verdict for the defendant, and
he was arrested for contempt of court.
He told the court that he could not agree
to such a verdict and that he would 90 e
iaiI and rot there before he would violate
his oath and conscience
The plaintiff 3 attorney agreed that
judgment of dismissal might be entered in
order to save Juror Clayton from punish
ment The case was appealed, but the
appellate court upheld Judge Seaman as
to his position toward Mr. Clayton.
If the court has the power to coerce
jurors then justice is farce. Here was
man with conscience under oath to do
justice, and a judge steps in and directs
him to go contrary to his conscience and
oath. He declines and is held to be in
contempt and ordered under arrest.
If this is good law and practice the
sooner it Is changed the better, and the
matter viii be watched with great interest
when it is brought to the attention of the
next Congress by Congressman-electM Mann,
of Chicago, who is investigating the matter
with that view.
The railroad company recently recog-
nized its liability by compromising with the
plaintiff and paying her Sc, 900.
