WOMAN SUFFRAGE

In a recent address by Cardinal Glib
hons to the women graduates of Trinity
College, Washington, D. c., he solemnly
warned them against woman suffrage and
declared: Because we give our women a
college education, it does not follow
that we intend to camor for the preroga-
tives of men," In times past men
usurped about all the 'prerogatives'
there were, higher education among the
rest, and if women had never ''clamored"
for this one, they would be where their
foremothers were when they were not
even taught the alphabet.
If Cardinal Gibbons did not wish his
church women to clamor for the so-caled
"prerogatives of men" he should have
kept the doors of the higher educational
institutions closed to them. Catholic
women have. not shown themselves slow
in usurping the so-called prerogatives of
men in the past whenever opportunity Of
Tered.
In happy contrast to the utterances of
Cardinal Gibbons to his women grad

certain placemen lose their jobs.
"The arrest of John w. Hill,
who was recently elected from
the Office of chief of the filtration
plant, promises to lead to the
capture of even bigger fish. Ac-
cording to the testimony in the
case, the accounts were padded
and enormous sums were paid
for work not in the specifications,
and never done.
''The cry of reform within the
party" isn't interesting the
people much, as the gang is in
control of the party machinery.
The only reform the people APP
pear to want at present is to
send those who have been sys-
tematically robbing the city to
jail. That accomplished, they
will talk further reform. "-EUen-

SUSTAIN CHARGES
Methodist Judicial Conference Sus-
ponds Drs. Corkran and Baker
For One Year

At the request of counsel for the church
the Judicial Conference which heard the
appeal of the Rev. Charles S. Baker, who
was deposed from the ministry by a
select number OF the Wilmington NJ. E.
Conference at its session in Wilmington
in March on charges growing out of stock
transactions, changed the verdict to sus-
pension for one year and confirmed the
verdict Of the conference suspending the
Rev. Wilbur F. Cochran for similar
period on similar charges.
That such request was made by the
church was due to desire for justice, it
being the opinion that the two ministers
were implicated to an equal extent and
that DIR. Baker should not be deposed
while DIR. Corkran was only suspended
for one year.
The conference convened in the Metro
politan Tabernacle, at Seventh avenue
and Fourteenth steet, on Tuesday morn
ing and was composed of fifteen ministers,
five from the New York conference, five
from Troy conference and five from the
Wyoming conference. Only one mem
Der was absent, he being detained by ill.,
ness.
The case of DIR. Corkran was heard
first and the Judicial Conference unani-
mously sustained the verdict of the Will
mington Conference, also sustaining the
penalty of suspension for one year.
Under the charge of gambling three of
the fourteen members voted not to sus-
tain the charge, and the three members
explained their reason for so voting, say
ing that it was not clear in their minds
that margical dealings constituted gam
bling, and also that it was not clear in
their minds that DIR. Corkran knew it
was gambling. Eleven of the ministers
voted to sustain the charge, however,
and the vote to sustain the verdict and
penalty was unanimous.
The vote in the case of DR.. Corkran
was taken about midnight on Thursday
night and the case of DIR. Baker began
Friday morning.
The first thing done in this case was for
the council of the church to request the
conference as matter of justice to sustain
the verdict of the lower court, and to re-
duce his penalty from deposition to the
same penalty inflicted upon DR.. Corkran,
who was suspended for one year.
The conference reversed the verdict of
fraud in the case of DR.. Baker, but unan-
imously sustained the other charges,
unanimously reducing the verdict.
