WELCOME WORDS
TO WOMEN.

Women who suffer with disorders pecu-
liar to their sex should write to DR.. Pierce

the most careful consideration and is. of

Many sensitively modest women write fully
to DR. Pierce what they would shrink from

physician is pretty sure to say that he can

BOTH CLAIM A DEAD BOY.
Women Quarrel Over the Victim of
n Brooklyn Trolley Accident.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Two mothers
claim the body OF the fourteen-yea ear-old
boy who was killed last Thursday in the
collision between trolley car and freight
train at Gravesend and Flatbush Avenues.
Brooklyn. Coroner Berger has decided
temporarily in favor of Mrs. Mary E.
Moore, of ia Henry Street. Mrs. Ray At
kins, of 80 Sumpter Street, is equally posi-
tive in her identification of the remains
and will fight for the right to bury the
body. The women met in the coroner's
Office yesterday and almost came to blows.
After the fatal collision last Thursday
the mangled body of the boy was taken TO
the rooms of James Mckenna, at 79S Flat
bush Avenue. Mrs. Atkins called there
Sunday, and after a careful examination
she said she was pretty sure it was her
sons body She went down TO the coro-
ner's office in the court house yesterday
morning to see about a burial permit
When she made her claim TO the body
Deputy Coroner Kelly called up the under
taker and ordered him TO bring the Moores
to the coroner's Office at once toge ther
with any other witnesses who could iden-
tify the boy. Mrs. Mckenna soon appeared
with Mr.. and Mrs. Moore and several rela-
tives. Mr. and Mrs. Moore said they had
positively identified the body as that of
their son. Albert. fourteen years old. The
other members OF the Moore family also
said they would make affidavit that the
body was that of Albert Moore.
Mrs Atkins then became excited, and
declared the boy was her son, no matter
what they might say. The two mothers
faced each other and to avoid clash
the deputy coroner stepped between them
Mrs. Atkins admitted that her husband
Thomas F. Atkins was in Jail on charge
of grand larceny. After he was sent for
and had examined the body he said: You
ought to know that it isn't your son. You
know very well he has cross on his fore
head. / don't see why | was dragged out
here, anyway.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore are making arrange
ments to bury the body today, but Coroner
Berger said he would not permit the flu
neral until the identity of the boy was es-
tablished beyond doubt.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 3.-Prof. Bar
rett Wendell, CT the English department at
Harvard. says Harvard is slowly drifting
into coeducation, and he ali but charges
the Harvard faculty with having exceeded
its powers.
After alluding TO the founding of Rad
cliffe, he goes On to show that all that the
oyerseers had ever intended was to admit
Radcliffe students TO the courses open to
graduates.
He says young women have been admit
ted to the second group of courses desig-
mated in the Harvard catalogue as for
graduates and undergraduates This was
done by the faculty in spite of a majority
report of a committee against such step.
Then Prof Wendell says
Clearly this creates distinctly closer
relation between Harvard and Radcliffe
than had previously been authorized My
personal opinion is that unless a strong
public sentiment declares itself against
the principle of cceducatIon at Harvard,
complete coeducation will slowly establish
itself here. To this / strongly object My
grounds are partly sentimental
Were Harvard merely a factory of
scholars, the case might be different; but
to me Harvard seems, even more pro-
foundly than it seems an institution Of
learning, a traditional school of manly
character. Its past history in this re-
spect is too precious TO be risked without
better reason than has yet been shown.
Were the higher education elsewhere
closed to women, their plight might ex-
cite chivalrous sympathy; but as every
one knows, most colleges in America al
ready receive women Oh virtually equal
terms with men.
The question then really becomes one
where men are justly on the defensive
Shall we DO our best to preserve one
spot where men, if they choose may be
educated by themselves? At this moment
Harvard has not gone too far to recede.
By the express terms os the vote of the
overseers. which opens our courses TO
women. the privilege is still revocable.
either by the faculty or by the govern
ing boards. If not revoked, however, it
may soon be claimed to have acquired the
authority of established usage.
Unless revoked / believe it will do
away with the pure virility of Harvard
tradition
The remedy proposed by Prof Wendell
is TO make Radcliffe wholly independent of
Harvard. and purely woman's university.
just as he would have Harvard purely for
men.

4 new RULER FOR China
The Dowagep Empress Decides Upon
a Dynastic Change.
Pu Tsunn, the Nine Year-Old Son of
Duke Tsai, Ian, Chosen as EN-
PerOr-1'hei Present Monarch De-
sires to Lay Down officials Cares
Because of His Chronic Illness.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 3.--A despatch
says that arrangements for the dethrone-
ment of the Emperor Kuang Hsu are pro-
ceeding apace. The Empress Dowager's
choice has definitely fallen upon Pu Tsuan,
the nine year old son of Duke Tsai Lam to
succeed Kuang Hsu as Emperor OF China.
This imperial candidate can only speak the
Manchu dialect and knows no Chinese.
Kuang Hsu has already been urged to
draw up memorial to the Empress Dow-
ager. asking to be allowed to resign his
throne, owing to his chronic illness.
Oriental advices say it would appear that
an Oriental triple alliance is ON the tapis.
Some light Is thrown on the recent nego-
tiations between China and Japan by reve-
lation of the existence of a semi-secret
organization with large membership in
the two countries and in Korea. having for
its purpose the preservation of the inde-
pendence of the three Eastern empires.
This organization originated before the
war in an endeavor among literary men
to unite nations having a common basis
of language. When the war ended the So
ciety took On political aspect. and was
the basis of efforts at reform made by the
Emperor. kuang Hsu. Then came the
coup d'etat Of the Empress Dowager, who

putting new life into the association.

Coincident with this there comes a re-

Bogus Army Omcer indicted.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct 3.--H L. Owens
alias F. C. Ward, the young man from War
renton, charged with impersorating a
United States commissioned officer, was tc-
day indicted By the grand jury of the
United States District Court. An interest
ing and unique legal point is likely to come
up in the consideration of this case The
accused is now at the Staunton Insane
Hospital, where he was sent as a result
of the finding Of the commissioners assem-
bled at Warrenton. The question is now
whether the district court will accept this
action. The point is regarded as a very
nice one and the establishing of precedent
that may lead to important results in very
many other criminal cases.
