Justice Pierce Fixes the
Salary at $40 a
Month
Fashionably Attired Women
Throng Court Room and
Listen to Trial

How much are the services Of a con-
scientious, hard working chaperon
worth?
1t was this question that confronted
Justice Pierce yesterday morning when
he opened court. To him had fallen the
responsibility of making a decision that
might henceforth set the standard of
values in the whole United States Die
his duty to society dictate that he
should put chaperons on the list of
high priced luxuries, or should he fix
bargain rates that would enable persons
of every class to employ a social
monitor?
For two long hours Justice Pierce lis
tened to the testimony of fashionahly
attired women who gave their views
on chaperons and on numerous sub
jects not even distantly connected with
social affairs.
The question of the value of chape-
ron's services was involved in the suit
of Mrs. e. Marie Campbell against Mrs.
Mary A. Dunscombe and Miss Cora
Buckmaster for salary due from the
Business Woman's club, 221k West
Fourth street. Mrs. Dunscombe aud
Miss Buckmaster constitute the Busi-
ness Woman's club, which was opened
April "a. According to the testimony
Of the plaintiffs witnesses the chape-
ron was absolutely necessary" to the
successful existence Of business wo-
mans club.
What does chaperon do?" inquired
Justice Pierce, looking for copy Of the
latest blue book. "They don't have
chaperons in mems clubs"
mo, nor in hotels" agreed the attor-
ney for the plaintiff.

Causes Of crlme--Urees Radical
Changes

Special to The Herald
VENICE, July 25-Frank Emory
Lyon, the prison expert from Chicago,
lectured this morning before the Vene-
tian assembly upon prisons and Prison
Systems" In part he said: Among
the many problems of practical phil
anthropy of our times one of the most
important is the problem OF prison re-
form, or what is the ultimate end Of
prison reform-the reform of the prIs-
oner.
"The prisons of the past have been
the chief causes Of crime, but the
prison system of the future Is one that
will make for the prevention of crime
rather than the wreaking of vengeance
upon the criminal.
"It is gradually dawning upon us that
punishment is not a deterrent from
crime, but that enlightenment is. Kind
ness will control the most vicious, but
fear will only curb baser passions tenn
porarily.
"The prisoners star of hope rose
when John Howard became warden Of
Bedford Jail in 1878. Great things have
been done since then, but still greater
tasks await accomplishment.
"The modern prison should be hos
pital to which criminals are committed
until cured, and in the cases Of acci-
dental offenders released early on
parole.
"And the prisoner? "A mans a man
for a. that and should have the right
to earn an honest living without fear Of
discrimination"

ST. PETERSBURG, July 25.-Gossip
and conjecture are busy with the rea-
sons for and results of the meeting be-
tween Emperor William and Emperor
Nicholas Of the island Of Bjoerkoe, but
the return of the Russian imperial
party to Peterhof has added nothing
definite to the information regarding
the subjects discussed or the conclu-
sions reached at the private interviews
between the two sovereigns. Under the
circumstances no authoritative state
ment can be made, and the only infor-
nation vouchsafed is that the conver-
sations were extremely cordial and
friendly. The belief that the meeting
will make for peace was reflected on
the boerce today, imperial fours rising
a full point to S5M in firm market.
The Importance of the meeting is recog-
nized in the press comments Of all
shades of opinion. Various conjectures
are advanced as to it's real meaning,
but they are all admittedly guesswork

fen editorial pointing to the fact that
the good, neighborly relations with Ger
many enabled Russia to withdraw part
Of her army from her western frontier,
and declare it is the duty Of Russian
diplomacy to strengthen these relations.

Franco Russian alliance, made in the

Great Britain has any reason to worry

The Novoe vremya, after cataloguing
the various suppositions advanced, de-
clares 1t is useless to guess which of
them received special attention, and
concludes sagely that it is sometimes
good to have diplomatic question
discussed without the assistance of pro-
fessional diplomats.
Liberal circles are inclined to look
askance at the meeting, the pessimists
thinking it BODIES i'll to reform, and the

GASOLINE STOVE BRINGS
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
CONFEDERATION FOLLOWS ITS
oVERTURNING
Two Members of Jewish Family Killed,
Two Fatally Burned and Three
Others Seriously Injured, Despite
Heroic Efforts to Save Them

BY Associated Press
PITTSBURG, July 25.-Two dead,
two fatally burned and three others
seriously injured, is the result of an
explosion of a gasoline stove early to-
day at the home of Levi Titus, a
kosher butcher, 725 Wood alley, Brad
dock, Pa.
The dead are:
HARRY TITUS and MEYER IT,
TUS, aged years (twins).
Fatally burned:
Mrs. Sarah Titus, mother.
Elsie Titus, aged 8 years.
Seriously burned:
Levi Titus, the father.
Goldie Titus, aged 1S.
Ray Titus, aged 16.
The explosion was caused by the
overturning of gasoline stove on
which Mrs. Titus was preparing break
over the room, enveloping Mrs. Titus
and igniting a five gallon can of oil
standing on the porch near the door.
A second explosion followed and in a
short time the entire house was in
flames. Neighbors strenuously fought
to reach the children, who were asleep
on the second floor, but as the
flames had already spread to the stair
way nothing could be done until the
arrival of firemen with ladders.
The father was the first one to scale
the latter and enter the children's
sleeping room, where smoke was issuing
from the windows. Feeling his way to
the bed, he grasped the twins and car
ried them to the window. He handed
the children to the fireman on the lad
der, who found that they were both
dead having been suffocated.
The father then went back and res
cued the other three children, and as
he assisted the last one to the window
he fell to the floor, overcome by smoke.
He was taken out unconscious by the
firemen, who also rescued Mrs. Titus
after she had been terribly burned.
1t is thought her injuries will prove
fatal. The S-year-old daughter was so
badly burned that her recovery is
doubtful. The others, although Sc
riously burned, will recover.
The house, a frame building, and its
contents were damaged to the extent
OF $1,000.
