A. D. Rockafellow, who was brought
up from Seaside to serve county jail
sentence for beating boy, was before
the sanity board yesterday. The man
was under scrutiny for long time. and
during his interview with the commits
sloners showed unmistakable signs of
insanity. He told the board he was a
military expert of rare genius and that
he was in close touch with the war de-
partment. He related that he was par
ticularly well posted as to the progress
of events at Fort Stevens, and that he
warned the officers prior to the time

CORPORATION CONSCIENCE.

Courts. juries. legislatures and exc
cItive officials often are confronted
with questions directly or indirectly
involving the moral responsibility of
large corporations. Hardly any con-
tract. policy, or act of a corporation
is entirely free, substantially, of con-
ditiOns bearing upon principles of hon
OF. y matter which concerns another
party besides a corporation necessari-
~ is burdened with obligations.
AS rule there is Discrimination to
inquire beyond what is 'specified in the
bond" or what is practically essential
in a bond. The moral aspect is differ
ent in every question and is dis
tinct problem in each case. This is one
reason why the moral responsibility
is seldom taken into consideration.
Another is that the Introduction OF a
moral trend of Interrogation is apt to
lead to very serious complications,
which. in unfaVOrable circumstances.
could be greatly damaging.
Recently the moral phase has been
made an important feature of several
extraordinary legal proceedings and
has been made a leading issue in NUM-
cipal transactions and in special cleo
tons relating 10 affairs of public poll
cy. This implies that the public and
the administrative and Legislative de-
partments of municipalities are making
IL significant advance.
There can be no lasting doubt that
ia corporation, and especially a quasi
public corporation, is bound by moral
obligations. There can be no pro-
lCnged dispute over the theory that
corporation has a conscience. Though
4 corporation would not be subject to
penalty, in every case, for violating or
ignoring its moral responsibility. there
still would be no reason to say that it
was without responsibility.
1t is becoming more evident that the
moral responsibility of a corporation
ultimately will have to be formally re-
cognized. Being a corporation should
not constitute release from the ordi-
nary laws of conscience. A corpora
ton is composed of individuals, who
are suspected of having souls; and the
connection between the acts and poll
cies of a corporation and the voluntary
decisions of individuals. who shape

PREACHER GUILTY OF CRIME.
Religious Worker Convicted of Living
With Woman Not His Wife.

SEATTLE, June 25.-P II. Nelson.
the street corner gospel preacher. was
found guilty of adultery by a jury in
the court last night. 1t took the jury
seven hours to arrive at the verdict.
Nelson was Informed against for hav-
ing lived in an adulterOuS state with
ligious workers. Both denied the
charge, alleging that it was brought

The prosecuting attorney was in

Nelson by Judge Neterer, of Whatcom
county, Who during one OF his visits
to Seattle heard the uncOntested di
vorce case brought by Mrs. Nelson
against her husband. In this case the
relations between Nelson and Paulina
Smith were brought out at great
length, and the court, during the hear
ing of the case, called in the prosecut-
ing attorney and stated that Nelson
should be prosecuted.
The trial has been going on for sew
eral days before Judge Hatch, who is
assisting Judge Tallman with his cal
endar. Paulina Smiths mother, sister
and her child, together with one of Nell
sons children. appeared as witnesses
for the state and gave the strongest
evident against the defendant. Letters
written by Paulina Smith tended so
strongly to prove the guilt of the ac-
cused that they alone would have JUS
titled conviction. Nelson's bail was
raised from $1,000 to $4,000 and in de-
fault of 1t he was committed to the

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.

The last census of the United States
continues to furnish some food for
thought. 1t is interesting, for instance,
to learn that there is absolutely no en-
ployment known within the entire
range of the census which is monopo-
lized by males. CHANGING through the
report, for instance, of women being
employed in unexpected places, the
searcher is amply rewarded.
A New York woman who lost her
husband and her fortune is mistress of
a coal commission business which
brings her fifteen thousand dollars a
year. Under the head of Trappers and
Scouts there are 1920 women listed.
Not only is this statement unexpected,
but contrasted with another there is a
still more unsupported truth. Under
the head of Authors and Scientists.
there are 2216 women. which shows
gagged in hunting and trapping as in
scientific and literary pursuits.
In stock raising and trading it is
perhaps reasonable to find 1947 women,
since stock raising is a natural BUSINESS
in certain parts of the west where wo-
men as we'll as the men would be by
lifelong association familiar with the
business. But we are not quite so
ready to read that 100 are engaged in
wood choppers; that 81 are surveyors:
that IS are longshoremen: that y are
stevedores: that 154 are boatmen: that
) have licenses as pilots: that As are
hackmen: that 1905 are fishermen. or
that 1870 are miners and quarrymen.
BY this time the reader begins to
feel that there should be a feminine
form to these names. Therefore let US
say as We go along that we find 10 to
be baggageWomen; 81 to be brakeWo-
men: to be conductoresses; % to be
sWitchWomen; 6 ship carpentresses;
ses. and 1876 lady blacksmiths. But
when we find that S97 women are en-
ployed as Watchmen and policemen. we
lose the temptation to apply anything
but the we'll known names.
odd as the above may seem, the
searcher of census records stin has
SURPRISES in store That there are Wo-
