HIGH PRELATE SCORES
WASHINGTON SOCIETY
Says Smart Set Is Giving Ma
tional Capital Unhealthiul
and Dangerous Tone

Washington. May 5.-Bishop satter-
lee added to his reputation for speak
ing plain warnings by making an ad-
dress today to the Washington Diocese
on the changes perceptible in the con-
ditions Of life at the capital. He took
up the wealthy society set in wash
ington. and expressed his opinion Of its
members and the effect they are hav-
ing on the times. He said:
Dangers have arisen that the nine
teenth century Washington was free
from. A simplicity pervaded the social
atmosphere. Men were classed for what
they were, not for what they professed.
I'm the twentieth century the tone
Of life I'm Washington has become less
natural, social conditions have changed,
and for the worse. New residents Of a
wealthy and leisure class. who hold
no responsibility for the welfare of the
community, create a sense of careless
irresponsibility in our citizens.
These have false ideals and make
social pleasure the business OF life.
Their influence percolates TO all classes.
and saps the foundation OF character.
"The democratic simplicity of the
nineteenth century Is a thing OF the
past. Instead we have the smart set.
rough set and fast set attracting
abnormal attention and exercising
enormous influence and giving an in
ternatlonal capital tone to Washington
which is unhealthful and dangerous"

Diekerson's Startling Story.
James H. Dlckerson. the material wit
ness whom the State has held in re-
serve. told a thrilling story.
ION the second or first Wednesday in
last August, while driving to Dover
with Powell in a two-horse hack Of Mr..
Powells, she started conversation
with him about the trouble she was
having with Essle being too intimate
with al. I told her Of some things ia
seen which thought the woman ought
to know. She replied:
"'Well II she don't leave there. I'll
knock her IN the head"
Questioned by Mr.. Ridgely as to
every word Of that threat. witness
started to reply that he might have
said she told him she would "kilr' her.
but Justice Spruance stopped him
short on an objection by Attorney-Gen-
eral Ward. The court sustained the
objection and Ridgely noted an excep-
tion.
'Were you ever in vermont?"
II may have BEEN"
! IN FRANKLIN county,
Probably yes" (Objectlon sustain
ed.)
Were you not in st. Adams jail for
| burglary"
mo, sir; never'
do you know Berkeley McDonaId?"
"Yes, sir"
Look at this paper and state why
it is not a recognizance executed by
you on which Berkeley NJ Ballard be-
came your surety on a charge OF bur-
glary."
Witness had no spectacles and a ball
III handed him pair
Il was held as a witness, but never
for burglary"
The witness was stopped by the At
torney-General whose objection was
sustained.
"were you ever convicted Of pers
jury?" (Objection this time overruled.) }
81 never was"
That's ALL"
Blood Expert Testifies.
DIR. Alfred Robin. the expert who
makes the Bordet blood test and as the
pathologist for the Samaritan Hospital.
Philadelphia, produced the clothing al
ready identified as that worn by Mrs.
Powell and pointed out two blood stains
on the sleeve Of the undershirt. four
blood stains on the waist and ten on
the skirt.
DIR. Robin told how he had injected
human blood into a rabbit and had used
the blood from a pig, COW. chicken and
other animals IN testing the experiment
upon the blood-stained clothing.
I'm examining these blood stains did
you form a judgment as to whether
those garments came IN contact with
blood flowing directly from the human
bodyg"
Yes. sir"
How could you tell?'
From the absence Of any BLOOD
clots."
What further did you hnd?"
THAT this blood ha flowed from
human body through another gowi
which acted as sieve"
Gould it have been thus slevet
through an apron?"
yes. any intervening garment o.
gown"
Judge Scores Women Spectators.
At the adjournment OF court. Judg,
Spruance raped severely and said:
Let me say to all whom Il may con.
Germ that we do not think this cour
room during this trial is a proper plac,
for women. The testimony is such thaI
women should shrink from it rather
than gather to hear IT,"

Allow me a small space in your paper

LAWLESSNESS FEARED
AT TONOPAH.

A dispatch from Tonopah says there
is a great deal of criticism expressed
among the better class of citizens in
ronopah at the outcome of the trial of
Smith for the murder of Walter Dunn,
and it is generally felt that the thing
is not altogether straight, for the evil
dence went to show that Smith was
wholly without blame. The result of
the trial of Smith and that of the
Chinese rioters may have a tendency to
encourage lawlessness In Tonopah, but
1t is possible that the next killing In
this region will receive some little inn
mediate attention from the citizens
direct, as the authorities can hardly be
depended upon in all instances to Sc
cure the results most desired for the
good of the community.
