WOMAN.S PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Prof. Gerry Discusses the "Novel as So
rious Reading"

ing, in the W. c.. T. u. parlors. Miss
Frances Graham French presiding. Mrs.
Mary Margaret Prescott of Michigan and
Mrs. Frances Nichols Benjamin of this city
were unanimously elected active members
of the association.
After the business meeting closed Prof.
Philip F. Gerry, director of English litera-
ture In the Technical High Schools of the
District, was introduced as the speaker OF
the evening. Prof. Gerry made a strong
plea for the Novel as Serious Reading"
declaring in the course Of his remarks that
prose fiction Surpasses the metrtcal MARIA
tive. 1.-The novel is art" he said. 1T may
be poetry or 1t may be philosophy. but al
ways a dignified. adequate way of knowing
the human race"
To interpret the novel, from the speakers
view point. one must be Hnguist,
rhetorician, historian. philosopher phycholo-
gist. and 1t is with the novel as Browning
expressed of himself, mot what am. but
what / desire to be, comforts me-"
In the general discussion that followed the
address Commander H. H. Barroll, u. 8.
N, paid a tribute to the ability Of the men,
bers of the press who, in their endeavor
to give daily the current history of the
world to the public in concrete form, SO
that "he may read who runneth," represent
the tragedy, as the novel represents the
epic and drama in the field of literature.
Among other speakers of the evening were
cut for the General Federation Of Woman's
Clubs; Capt. c. H. Terrell. U. s. NJ; Mrs.
B. Lockwood, Mr.. E. B. Gregg. Prof. q. G.

GENDARMEs PATROL STREETS.
Serious Strike Situation in Saxony-
Rigid Measures Against Gatherings.

BERLIN. December 19.-The Saxon gov
eminent has forbidden the holding of seven
great Christmas parties at Crimmitschau by
the strikers belonging to the textile trades,
on the ground that they would be seditious
gatherings tending to disturb the public
peace. A feeling of intense bitterness is the
result.
These parties were to be paid for out of
the strike funds, so that no striker should
be without Christmas celebration. The
National Society of Textile Workers how
ever has arranged to give a present to
every child.
The streets of Crimmitschau are now pa
trolled by gendarmes, whose orders are not
to permit more than two men to be together
in the streets, so that If two persons walk
ing one way meet two others and stop to
talk the assemblage is dispersed
Nearly the whole body of strikers, be-
tween 1000 and 5000, marched over the
frontier into the territory of Altenburg, a
few days ago. to hold meetings out of the
reach of the Saxon government and discuss
the situation. They are determined to per-
sist in the strike, which has now lasted
eighteen weeks.

SENATOR DIETRICH APPEARS.
Answers to Charges Of Bribery al
Omaha in Post Office Case

OMAHA. Neb., December 19.-United
States Senator Charles H. Dietrich. accom-
panied by Gen. John C. Gown, his attor-
ney. appeared before Judge Munger in the
United States circuit court today and was
arraigned on the indictments returned

guilty. and to that charging him with con-
spiracy and bribery he refused to plead.
Trial on the conspiracy and bribery in
dictments was set for January f. Assistant
District Attorney Rush vigorously objected
to that date and asked for four weeks in
which to prepare the governments case.
The time. however. was reduced to two
weeks. No time was set for trying Senator
Dietrich on the indictments returned De-
cember IT, charging him with profiting by

LOCAL CASE HEARD.
Interstate Commission Considers Com
plant Against Southern Railway.

4uteTSCaCe commission CONSIDERS COM
plant Against Southern Railway.
An opinion of local interest was rendered
by the interstate commerce commission to-
day in the case of Samuel X. Behrend vs..
Washington Southern Railway Company
and others. The complainant was charged
through passenger fare of $4.65 from this
city to Moseley. Va, passing through Rich
mond, Va, although the sum of the fares
from Washington to Richmond and from
Richmond to Moseley was so cents less, but
1t appeared that the local fares to and
from Richmond applied to and from differ
ent stations, and that the extra 80 cents
covered a transfer charge. The commas
sion holds in this case that as The CON-
plainant was not subjected to unjust dis
elimination and the reasonableness Of the
transfer charge was not attacked, the COM
plant must be dismissed.
The commission in opinions by Commits
sioner Prouty decided the cases Of the
Buckeye Buggy Company of Columbus
Ohio. against the Cleveland. Cincinnati.
Chicago and ST. Louis railway and others.
and the c. s. Bell Company of Hillsboro.
Ohio, against the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern Railroad Company and
Norfolk and Western Railway Company.
The commission decides in these cases
that before allowing a carload rating to
carload shipment a carrier is entitled
to require that the goods shall be loaded
at one time and place, that but a single
bill of lading shall be issued and that
the shipment shall be from one consIgnor
to one consignee. but when the goods are
SO loaded and by the terms of sale be
come the property of the consignee upon
delivery to the carrier, the carrier has no
right to inquire whether the consignee
obtained his title from one or several
owners; and If it accords the carload
rate in case the consignor is the owner.
failure on It's part to extend the same
privilege when the consignee Is the
owner violates sections one, two and
three of the act to regulate commerce.
The rule in defendants classification COW
ering the application of carload rates to
carload lots should be SO modified as to &C
cord the same rating to consignor and con-
signee when the condition of ownership
after the property is delivered to the car
rier is the same. Upon the question
whether a carrier may distinguish between
a forwarding agent and the actual owner
Of the goods no opinion is expressed.
In opinions by Commissioner Yeomans,
also announced today, decisions were rem
dered In w. H. H. Macloon VS.. Boston and
Maine Railroad Company and Others.
In the Macloon case the complainant was
charged q passenger fare from Boston,
Mass. to GAINESVILLE, Wis, which was 81
greater than the fare he had paid from
GAINESVILLE to Boston. Upon the investiga
ton the commission holds that this was
not unjust discrimination and did not, of
itself, render the higher rate unreasonable.
