grow ANIMALS is that the seed pods should be
picked off soon as formed, or the flowers cut
before they die, in order to keep them blooming

pointed by the refusas.
Mr.. Mack said yesterday that General Bing-
ham had no sympathy for the police or for the

General Bingham is ending his career instead
or beginning IL, in this city. He is a convincing
example OF the fact that Of military train

partment. He has told me that he believes the
average policeman is crook If he has his way
he will kill all ambition in the force and utterly
demoralize il. He is bent inf1icting fines for
minor offences that would forever bar a patrol
man from promotion.

The Woman of Leisure Handled
Roughly by Critical Sisters.

The woman OF leisure came in for some rough
handling at a dinner given by the Social Reform
Club TO the Womens Trade Union League, at
Clinton Hail. last night. Although speaking par
ticularly OF those who friendly to the work Of
the league, Miss Gertrude Barnum, the national
secretary, accused them of being clad in guilty
clothes from head TO foot" and wearing shoes
made from the very blood and bones Of their
sisters
''In the two years that have been associated
with this movement continued Miss Barnum "I
have found few OF leisure who compre-
hended their duty the working woman They
think that things doing very well, and wonder

In all history there has never been a class so
absolutely dead to their opportunities and duty

Miss Rose Schneiderman, OF the Cloth Hat and

class" that they could help the working women by
helping them TO get their rights. not by giving them
charity or building hotels for them.

cent Further Massacres.

St Petersburg March IA deputation of
Jews. headed by NJ sliezberg. representing pro-
Vincial committees for the assistance of suf-
ferers from massacres. to-day laid a report of
outrages before Premier White. at the same
time directing his attention TO the continual
fion Of the anti-Jewish agitation among the
Black Hundreds and their threats against Jews
If they acted with the progressive parties in
the elections. The deputation expressed fears
o. a renewal Of massacres at Easter, and IN
sisted that only an immediate proclamation Of
the governments firm intention TO protect life
and property Of Jews and TO punish severely
their asailants would stop the evil.
Count White replied in a sympathetic vein.
and promised to bring the matter Immediately
before the Cabinet He said that he fully real
lied the unfortunate position Of Jews outside
the law. adding that he was confident the Ma
uonal Assembly would resolve the Jewish cues
ton Justly. He further advised participation In

SHOULD AID CONGO, SAYS DIR. HALL
President of Clark University Thinks This
Country Has Power to Interfere.

Boston, March president G. Stanley Hall
of Clark University, president of the Congo
Reform Association, to-day made public state
ment with reference 10 the recent letter of Sec
rotary Root TO Representative DENLY. in which
the Secretary held that the United States had
no right to interfere with regard to the alleged
deporable conditions in the Congo Free State.
President Hall holds that. while there may not
be treaty rights empowering interference the
United States. leader of the council Of ma
lions which delegated Jurisdiction over the
Congo to King Leopold of Belgium. has every
right TO interfere the ground that 1t stands for
freedom and humanity. President Hall expresses
the hope that President Roosevelt may find
ground for action along these lines
