ATTACKS CHANCELLOR DAY.
"Defender of the Trusts" Accused oi
 Dsfsming the President.

N4v York, March 7.-The Rev. j. R. Day, IL. D., chancellor of Syracuse university, has been charged with de. flaming the character of President Roosevelt. The Rev. George A. Cooke, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of Brandon, Vt, is the accuser. The charges in regular form have been presented to the Rev. Dr. Waters of Yonkers. presiding elder of the New York conference of the Methodist Epis. copal church, to which Chancellor Day is attached.
 The Rev. Mir. Cooke says that Chan. cellor Day defamed the president in a recent book. The chancellor's acts. ac. cording to Mir. Cooke, were in violation of the rules of the Methodist Episcopal church. He said that the chancellor as a minister has no right to assail the president.
 He added somewhat pointedly that even if, as he said. the Syracuse uni. versity Is under obligations for favors from the Standard oil company it did not give the chancellor the right tc abuse the president.
 The Rev. Cooke is well known in New York and throughout New Eng land. especially since his campaign against Professor Hinckley q. Mitchell, former professor of Hebrew and Old Testament exegesis of Boston univer slty. Professor Mitchell was charged with heresy by Mir Cooke in various conferences. but the charges fell fiat He appears to be very much In earnes in his charges against Dr. Day. He ap parently believes the chancellor to have been guilty of a grave Offense.
 Reports from Syracuse say that Chan. cellOr Day does not consider the matter serious.

WOMAN SLAVERY
America Threatened With a Race of Women Like Russia
 Peasants By Factory Labor.
LAW MIGHT SAVE THEM

Chicago, March 7.-Unless factory and shop conditions are changed ma terially America is threatened with the appearance of a race of women like those of the peasant class of Russia, according to Professor Ed ward A. Ross of the University of Wisconsin. Professor Ross made this assertion during an address before a public meeting held under the aus pices of the Illinois Federation of Women's s clubs at Hull house last ev- ening.
 After quoting from statistics to show that one-third of the women ot the country between the ages of 15 and 25 are engaged in industrial oc- equations, Professor Ross said:
 With many of them it is only temporary, but do you realize that for the few years they are at the loom or in the shop the condi ions surrounding them are not shaped or influenced by anybody who has an interest in them"
 "The truly feminine girl, the one of frality and delicacy, will pass from our working classes. There will be a reversion to the type of masculine wo- men, squat, fiat chested, broad back ed low browed creatures, working in the fields side by side with the men, the burdens of wifehoOd and mother hood coming but as an incident to q day of toll.
 "The cost of the cure, the proven ton of such q state is in the hands of society to-day. The day when a man could sell himself into slavery Is in the past in all civilized countries. A further interference is the field of the so called freedom of contract cannot be considered bold. The law can tell a girl just how many hours of her time she may sell"

crat reporter to-day if any agent of the Electric Boat company had ever been to see him endeavoring to have him (Mr Taylor) use his influence with Congressman Lilley so as the latter would vote for the Electric Boat com- pany, replied that none had ever ap- preached him.
 He said that he often talked to Congressman Lilley about the Eiec- tric Boat company, but that no one had ever tried to have him persuade Lllley.
 Do you think that MT Lilley meant you in his statement about the Water bury manufacturer?'
 Well, 1 don't know" said Mr Fay Tor. T think it could refer to one or two others"
 LilIey Asks for Time.
 MT Lilley declined to accept off hand a proposed amendment, of fered by Representative Williams, which provided that upon the truth or falsity of allegations of this reso- lution" the house should take ap- propriate action" as to those found guilty or as to 'the mover of this resolution" When taken to task by Speaker Cannon for submitting to newspaper interviews and for his delay in pressing his resolution after it's introduction, MT Lilley plead a a"timidity" in interfering with the speaker when he was busy. He said he had always found the speak CT "busy" when he went to see him, whereupon MT Cannon declared that that was a matter existing in MT Lilley's own mind"
 When asked by MT Dalzell if an! money had been paid directly tt members to influence their vote or legislation Mir Lilley said:
 "I do not claim that any money has been paid to bribe member of con gress do expect to prove that mon ey has been contributed to campaign funds, which morally is no differeni from passing bribe across a table 1T the committee room when we pass vote. Morally there is not a particle of difference; legally there is"
 Why Lilley Was Not Named.
 There was some criticism over tho fact that MT Lilley himself had no been appointed chairman of the in vestigating committee. An investiga tion of this situation developed tht fact that the rules committee regard ed MT Lilley as the prosecutor of tho case as well as probable witness while at the same time, being mem Der of the naval affairs committed himself he was also in sense, de fendant. It was pointed out that h. had introduced the resolution and ap peared before the rules committee or his own initiative, although some O. MT Lilley's friends contended that h' had been summoned by the rulei committee to appear before it.

ing hot as it will If great flame is applied and the water Is bubbling fiercely.
 Now the principle of fireless cook ing is simply this, to bring the food to a boiling point on a flame stove. then deposit the kettle into a chest that is packed with a good non-con- ductor of heat. When the chest Is closed. the heat cannot escape and the water in the kettle remains at about the boiling point for SEv- ERAL HOURS. and of course the food in the water. or in an inner ket- tie set in the water. is bound to cook just the same as though the kettle was kept at the boiling tenn perature by the application of heat from a flame stove.
 The Hallock Fireless Cooker is a practical development of this prinei- pie It Is device that not only does the w0rk that it is intended for. but Is a handsome ornament for any kitchen. and Is sold al a price with in very easy reach of every family.

MOB RULE CONTINUES.
Militia Seem Unable to Control Situa
ton at Springfield.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 16.-Mob rule
overwhelmed the state militia in
Springfield for several hours last
night. Fury yer n Negroes attack
on a woman again flared up and an
other negro, William Donegan, an
aged man, was slashed, trampled and
hanged to a tree, only to be cut down
by the troops with the spark of life
still Pickering in his manned body.
One unknown white man is reported
to have been killed at White City, a
resort neal here. Springfield is, in
deed, the city of dreadful night.
But the mob is believed to have
worn itself out and it is believed the
uprising of Infatuated citizens is over.
The aged negro who was attacked last
night is believed 20 have no chance
to live. A boy was killed at Kanka,
kee by a soldier on a train bringing
troops here. So three more lives have
paid for a few hours of madness. Thus
the casualties of Springfeld's two
nights of terror total five dead, one
fatally injured and nearly a hundred
hurt, several of whom will die.
More than three thousand troops
are now on duty here.
