The young woman has been living with her
father and mother at 1915 9th street north

When she was arraigned before the court
her father. John Paris. took the stand and
explained the case to Judge Scott 1t was
a pathetic one.
I'VE can't do anything whatever with
Jennie. your honor" he said, with a show
OF emotion. Il don't think the child Is
morally corrupt by nature. The trouble is
all due to her companionship. She asso-
ciates with bad girls and boys. They lead
her Off, and all that we say to her and
everything We try to do for her is unayail-
ing. She is absolutely incorrigible. She
goes out at night, and goes no one knows
where. and with whom i can't tell She
stays out late at night. and. when she does
return won't tell US where she has been
She has caused her people a great deal of
heartache."
Mrs. Paris also took the stand and testi-
fled to the same effect. Before rendering

school.

thorities.

BARKER FOUND GUILTY.

Rev. John Keller.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The Hudson coun-
ty court room in Jersey City was crowded

to kill the Rev. John Keller. Many law
yers were among those present, and a large
part of the audience was made up of wo-
men residents of Arlington. N. j., where all

their homes.
At the opening of court Mr.. Van Wrinkle

ing himself to a general outline of the ev-
idence.

shooting of Keller was provoked by his
alleged assault upon Mrs. Barker In con-
cluslon Mr. Van Wrinkle said:
AS to he legal defense of insanity, no.
body knows much about insanity. Experts
differ on the subject You may say that
the man committed the act under a delu-
sion and that would exOnerate him legally
because man is able to aim a pistol does
not prove him sane"
The jury retired at 2;3J pm
ne jury In the Barker case at Jersey
CITY mas returned a verdict of guilty of at
tempt to Kill the Rev. John Keller.

WOMEN LAWYERS BARRED.
tennessee Supreme Court Refuses Ad-
mission to Practice

"AsslOn 10 PraCt1ce.
CHICAGO, June 21.-A special to the
Tribune from Memphis, Tenn, says:
The question as to whether or not women
are entitled to practice in the lower courts
of Tennessee has been raised by the state
supreme courts decision that women can
not practice law before that body
Miss Marion Griffin of Memphis made ap-
plication to practice before the supreme
court. now sitting at Jackson. In refusing
the application the court acted on the
ground that a lawyer practicing before a
court was an officer Of that court. A state
statute prohibits women from holding pub
lie office unless they are given special per-
mission by the legislature. The same mat
ter was presented to the court at the last
term. 1t was then held by a majority of
the court that under the common law and
statutes a woman was not eligible to prac-
tlce law in the courts Of Tennessee. The
matter was brought before the last two
legislatures, and both legislatures declined
to pass an enabling statute.
Judges Wilkes and Caldwell did not con-
cur with the ajority. 1t would not fol-
low from her admission to the bar, they
said, that she would become thereby eligible
to the office of a judge, attorney general or
any governmental function.
The dissenting justices also held that wo-
men have been admitted to practice in
nearly all of the states of the Union and
many have risen to prominence and dis
tinctfon: that 1t Is an honorable profession,
and they should be given an opportunity to
avail themselves of it as a means of live
lihood and promotion, and that there was
no legal reason why she should not be ad-
mitted.

APPOINTMENT CLERK.


Disciplined Messenger Vented Anger
ON Mr.. Ford.
Mr.. Francis w. Ford, appointment clerk
OF the War Department, was assaulted
about o'clock yesterday afternoon by
John McQuade, a messenger in the supply
division of that department and a son OF
Secretary Roots coachman. The young man
had been disciplined by Mr.. Scofield, chief
clerk of the department. a few days ago
for alleged inattention and neglect of duty
and was put on probation. The chief clerk
explained that he was acting in the matter
on the recommendation of Major Thorpe,
chief of the supply division. According to
the story told at the War Department, Nc
Quade appeared there yesterday afternoon
under the influence of liquor and demanded
to see the chief clerk. Being refused ad
mission to the office of that official he went
down the corridor to the office of Mr..
Ford, appointment clerk, and at his re-
quest that official came out into the hail to
see him. For some reason he held the ap-
pointment clerk responsible for his punish
ment, and when Mr.. Ford attempted to ex-
plain that he had nothing whatever to do
with the case, and that II rested entirely
with the chief clerk and Major Thorpe, Nc
Quade suddenly struck him a violent blow
in the jaw, cutting his lip. McQuade is a
strong young athlete and would ,undoubted
ly have punished Mr.. Ford, who is a much
smaller man. severely but for the inter-
ference of couple of messengers, who ran
to Mr.. Ford's assistance and hustled Mr..
McQuade out of the building. Mr.. Ford
was not much hurt, and was on duty today
usual. He was advised to have his as
sailant arrested. but refused to do so. say
ing that he had no desire to punish the
young man.
McQuade has been dismissed.

BOXER TROUBLE Is NOT OVER.
So Say German Missionary Denied
by State Omcials.


by State Omcials.
BERLIN, June 21.-The Cologne Volks
Zeitung, the leading centrist organ, con-
tains special from a German missionary
in Shan Tung, in which 1t Is asserted that
the Boxer trouble is by no means over:
that the rebels are quietly enjoying their
plunder from the missions, and that the
Philo-foreigner edicts are only blind.
The dispatch also asserts that another
and worse rising is expected soon.
At the foreign office, a gentleman. on
Chancellor Won Buelows authority, told a
representative of the Associated Press that
this news was in no wise corroborated by
official news from China On the contrary,
every bit Of news from there for months
has shown that nothing like general trou-
ble Is expected. This is especially true of
Shan Tung, where everything remains
quiet. and order Is maintained with the
active aid Of Yuan-Shi-Kai, the governor.
There Is absolutely nothing to substantiate
this alarmist news.
Regarding Prince Tuan, the latest official
reports indicate that he is not at court
nor anywhere where he can communicate
easily with the court, and that he certain
ly now has no influence upon the court.
