YALE LAW SCHOOL KENT. CLUB.
Professor John Wurts Makes an Inter-
 esting Address.

Professor John Wurts Makes an Inter-
 esting Address.
 Last night the first regular meeting of the Kent Debating club of the Law school was held in Hendrie hall, with Frank J. Mccoy, 1905 L. S., as acting chairman. After few well chosen re- marks as to the objects of the club he introduced as the speaker of the even- ing Professor John Wurts, popular member of the Yale Law school facuI- ty, who made an address sparkling with wit and llun1or. He recalled many in- cidents of the time when, as a law stu dent, he was an active member of the club, and recounted the exciting elec- ton in which he was elected president. It was impressed upon the new men- bers that orators are never born full 'fedged, any more than it is possible to be great musician or painter without practice practice, practice, day after day, and meeting after meeting in the Kent club. To speak with finish and force needs the most careful and con- stant training in speaking on ones feet.
 Professor Wurts stated that there was no work in the Law school either in the regular course of study or out side of it, that is more important or that will be a more valuable asset when the men get out in the practice of the law than that of gaining in the Kent club the ability to speak with fiuency and force.
 The election of permanent officers for this term will be held at the meeting next Monday evening.

Her Transfer From Prison to a
Country Home Due to Media
ton Of Adeline Marie.
WILL Be RELEASED IN JULY.
.tBy Associated Press.)

= 49,
n LONDON. Feb Sit Is announced with
authority that Mrs. Florence Maybrick
is now In a home In a distant part Of
England. and under the care of the
members Of religious sisterhood. She
has not been released and is kept under
surveillance, but to all intents and pur-
poses her life now, compared to her ex-
istence in Aylesbury prison, is that Of
"a free woman. She will remain where She
Is until next July, when her punishment
will be ended under the special license,
and she will be allowed TO go free, sub
feet to the usual conditions governing
ticket OF leave conyicts.
The transfer OF Mrs. Maybrick from
penal prison to a quiet country home
constitutes an almost unprecedented ac-
ton on the part of the authorities 1t
was due to the media ton OF Adeline Ma
RE, Duchess OF Bedford, who, as Wis
itor to Ayleshury prison for many years,
has taken keen personal interest IN
Mrs. Maybrick, and finally succeeded in
obtaining the mitigation of her punish
ment to the extent of being allowed ~
spend the last six mon tbs Of her confine-
ment outside the prison walls. The
Home Office several months ago agreed
to meet tile request OF the Duchess Of
Bedford, although 1t imposed a pledge OF
secrecy. Therefore, in order to permit
her hair to grow out again and for tha
recuperation of her health, Mrs. May
brick was quietly transferred TO this
private institution, where, although she
{ is still actually a convict under a life
sentence. she lives In freedom that be-
lies her real status. 81 's 5Js
The mystery with which this change in
Mrs. Maybrck's situation WAS effected
excited the keenest interest here, and
gave rise to numerous stories that she
had been released. y. 81.
Her exact whereabouts are guarded
with extraordinary secrecy. chiefly Tor
the purpose. OF preventing criticism OF
the government for having taken. the fore
going exceptional steps nsher case:
Replying to a question IN the House OF
Commons to-day, Home Secretary Akers-
Douglas confirmed the reports that Mrs.
FLORENCE Maybrick had been removed
from Aylesbury prison to a convulescent
home. where she will remain until sum-
mer when she will be allowed her free
dom. and said that she had been granted
a license under the penal servttude acts.
Sin accordance with the wishes OF the
authorities OF the home, and with Mrs,
Maybrck's own earnest desire, which IS.
j think, entitled to consideration, added
