A WOMAN'S CONSCIENCE.

A western man arrested for a seri-
GUS crime recently made a confession
because his wife urged him 10 do 50.
That was complimentary to the
wife. In cases like this. where
wife urges the husband to make
clean breast Of his misdeeds. the
wife is the conscience Of the part
nership.
And that the wife should succeed
is complimentary not only to the wo-
man but to the man also.
In these cases where the wife j.
the keeper Of the partnership con
science. she appeals to something
underneath the mans vest And
there must be something under the
mans vest to appeal to or her ap-
peals would fail. Winch disproyes
the old doctrine Of total depravity.
Many a man will say. Il care
nothing for religion but ! like my
wife to attend church" Very eyi-
IDENTIFY the man does care something
about religion.
Almost every mau-thOugh he
may be a bad man-wauts 70 believe
that his wife has lively conscience.
1t Is not, perhaps. the best thing in
the world that there should be two
persons with only one Conscience
working cOnscieuce-but it is better
than that there should be two per-
sons with no conscience.
One OF the blessings to society that
comes from the married state is that
one Of the parties T. the bond is likely
to possess a conscience that is in
good order. Usually the one party
is the wife.
Many strong man owes his char
acter to timid little woman who,
seeing man in the horne. as a has
band, at his best has educated his
conscience up to her own high
standard.
OF course there must be in the
man some germ Of righteousness for
the woman 20 work on When Il
criminal coufesses because his wife
has urged him to there is evidence
that his system contained the germ.

Blaze in Tenement Houses

NEW YORK, April 21.-Three fire
men were injured, six women severely
burned, seventy families made home
less and property valued at $150,0o0
was destroyed by a sre in the heart of
the thickly settled Hebrew center in
the Brownsville section of Brooklyn to-
day. The fire started. in the basement
or five story brick building at That
ford street and Belmont avenue, which
was occupied by b. Glass & Co. as a
furniture store, spread rapidly through
the structure and within a few min
utes had leaped across the street to a
long row of double deck brick and
frame tenement houses. These build
lngs burned like tinder and the occu-
pants in many cases escaped with the
greatest difficulty.
Six women were painfully burned in
making their way from the blazing
homes and three firemen were caught
under falling walls. One of them suf-
feFed broken leg and the others were
severely bruised. From these build
irgs' the flames swept around a corner
to several similar structures which

MissourPs Bout With Rockefeller

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. April 21.-
a motion was filed in the supreme
court today by Atty. Gen. Hadley to
strike out the pleadings filed by the
Standard Oil company and the Repub-
lie Oil company to his information, al
leging combination to control the sup
ply and price of oils in this state. These
pleadings deny the allegations set forth
in the information filed by the attorney
general and at the same time attack
the constitutionality of the antitrust
law. Atty. Gen. Hadley in his motion
contends that such pleadings cannot
be filed in the supreme court and bases
this contention on decisions in the case
of Atty. Gen. Crow against fire insur-
ance companies several years ago.

mand that employers cease hauling

national President Shea. The situa-
ton was gone over and immediate ac-
tion was decided on. The business
agents started out at once to present
tie ultimatum prior to the action of
the business agents of the unions.
y defiant attitude was shown by the
Chicago Employers association. a
placard pasted on every wagon owned
by the new teaming corporation back
ed by the association, reads:
'This wagon belongs to the inde-
pendent company. We deliver goods to
Mont gomery, Ward & Co. and employ
nonus ion drivers"
Below this placard is posted a copy
of an Injunction issued by Judge Bren-
tano prohibiting any interference with
the business of Montgomery, Ward &
Co.

the grand jury today and repeated to
them a statement concerning the strike
of garment workers made to Mr.. Healy
yesterday by a committee from the
Chicago Employers association. The
jurors informed Mr.. Healy that they
had decided not to add further pub
licity to their proposed investigation
of the strike. From other sources il
was ascertained that the grand jury
proposed to make an exhaustive in
quiry into the causes of the garment
workers disagreement with Ward G.
