Mrs. Lowell then spoke for the Anti

glad of it. She urged that women make
protest against the carrying on Of vivi-

She was followed by DR.. Steele, the
delegate of the association, who said IN
part:
Animal experimentation is so uncer-
tain in its results that it is quite as
necessary to resort to human yivisectiOn
after such experiments are concluded as
it would be without trying them"
He told some blood curdling stories OF
human vivisection performed in the al

To Make stubborn Contest.
ANGERED AT FRESHMAN.
inunaI Painting of Glass Numerals
Condemned Mt Princeton.

PRINCETON, y. j.. Feb. 19.-The ac-
ton of the Princeton freshmen who were
arrested this morning in Trenton for
painting their class numerals on property
in that city is regarded with genuine dis
pleasure by the upper classmen here.
Last year the freshmen made consider
able trouble for themselves and the uni
versity authorities by daubing with yell
low paint the property OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad between this place and
New Brunswick. and it was thought that
the disagreeablc experiences arising out
of their acts at that time would be suf-
ficient in preventing similar action.
Several days ago the authorities ap-
pealed to the students to abolish this
custom of painting which has prevailed
for several years during the days imme-
diately preceding Washington's Birthday
The appeal had the sincere support of the
upper classmen. who. in view of the acts
committed this morning, Will probably
take summary action abolishing this
practice entirely.
The faculty also. it is said, will severely
punish the miscreants.

The human heart, that most wonderful
of engines, Is scarcely larger than mans
fist. Yet in each twenty-four hours the
dual heart moves approximately six tons
of blood, equivalent to about two barrels
of blood per hour. And this continues
without ceasing from the first breath of
infancy to the last sigh of age. Is it any
wonder that when continued extra strain
is put upon so delicate and busy an or
gan, it should break down? Is it any
wonder that in this age OF overwork
there should be an increasing number OF
deaths attributed to heart failure?

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait Discusses
Aims of Suffrage Movement.

Aims of Suffrage Movement.
The feature of the afternoon session
was the address of Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait. president of the National Woman
Suffrage Association. who submitted an
oral report of the aims of the associa-
ton. holding that they stood for the
simplest of rights-the right OF self-ex-
preston.
There was a time she said, when
women were forbidden to speak in public.
Today this seems almost incredible. 1t
may at some future time seem quite as
strange that woman was ever forbidden
to express her opinion by that simple and
unmistakable means--the ballot.
The Declaration OF Independence as.
serts that every human being possesses
the right TO life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. These rights are alienaled
in the case OF women, and We believe that
the only means by which they can be Sc
cured is by the only weapon used in a
republic-the ballot. We believe this 20
be natural right, opposed only by the
worlds traditions.
For years we have been laboring to
convince the people OF this simple fact.
The greatest obstacle in the way is the
preconceived idea in peoples minds of
what woman suffrage is, which is an
idea quite different from the reality"
International Conference HELD.
Mrs. Gait then gave a brief account Of
the methods of work of the organization,
and said that during the year 10 600 pa

MONUMENT OF HSI-AN Flu.
Subicct DiscHs-cd by DIR. Aiken in
Catholic tniycr.ify Course.

Rey. Or. Charles J. Aiken. professor Of
delivered 4 lecture on The Ancient
Christian Monument of Hsi-an Fu' to a
distinguished audience in Mcmahon Hall
yesterday afternoon. He said in part:
'Hsi-an Flu is department of the
province of Shen-hs in northwestern
China. Its chief city is Hsi-an, the an
cient western capital OF the Empire.
Here was unearthed in 1923 a large stone
slab containing long inscription in
Chinese characters. supplemented by 9TH
efs, which to the Chinese antiquarians
were utterly meaningless. but which
proved to be Syriac of the so-called
Estrangelo type. characteristic OF manu-
scripts of the eighth century The monu-
mcnt was conveyed to q neighboring Bud
dhist Temple where it is still to be seen.
The Inscription tells how the Illus
trious religion of the West, which from
the doctrnal description given is unmis-
takably recognized as the Christian re-
ligicn. was introduced into China by the
monk Olopun, who came from the distant
West in the ninth year of the reign Of
the Emperor. Tai Tsung and was gra-
ciously received by him at his court in
the Hsi-an Flu. Three years later he
was allowed to build monastery accom-
nodatins twenty one monks.
The newlyplanted religion grew apace
under the patronage of the succeeding
Emperors till il encountered a severe
persecution stirred up by BudGhists and
Confuciauists Then followed another
period of prosperity down to the time the
monument was erected. This. as we
learn from the inscription, was in the
second year of the reign OF Chen Chung,
in the year 1892 of the Greeks. that is.

seems to Indicate flourishing condition
of the mission at that early period Ref
erence in this inscription to the Catho-
Hcos Patriarch, Anau Jesus, shows that
these missionaries were HISTORIANS.
THE extension OF Nestorianism over
Asia. even to distant China, at this early
epoch offers a natural explanation of
the CCrioUs re5emblances to certain
points OF Catholic liturgy which we find
n the Buddhism OF Tibet. Lamaison did
not take form till after the ninth century,
and in its development it seems to have
received the impress OF HISTORIAN influ-
cnce."

ITHACA, y. Y. Feb. 1@.-Car No 81. of

came uncomfortable while coming down
the steep East Ithaca hill this evening,
and crashed into car No. II. Both were
badly smashed. but although both were
loaded with passengers no one was in
jured. although several were badly shaken
up.
The runaway car was coming from the
East Ithaca station full of incoming pas
sengers. and the other was on its way
down the steep hill with a load of passen-
gers bound for the theatre. The conduc-
tor of the latter, perceiving that he was
being pushed closely, ordered the motor
man to turn on full current and both cars
raced down the steep grade. while the
theatregoers were frightened out OF their
wits.
The runaway clearly outclassed its rival
and crashed into it on the switch.

during the action not single order from
him was received by any of the ships that
were actively engaged.
Admiral Schlcy at the outset of the ac-
tion hoisted two signals OF Clear ship"
and Close in" which was simply carry
ing out the standing orders of Admiral
Sampson as to what should be done If the
enemy's ships attempted to break out of
the harbor. Until after the close OF the
