many cases that of the young girls who

Two sessions filled the afternoon, the
first being a meeting of the missionary
union, when the subject of child labor
in it's various phases was discussed by
Mrs. w. A. Wight. Miss Applegate, Mrs.
/ w. H. Tibbals, Miss TraSk and Mrs.
c. A. Walker. As a result of this meet
ing, the association voted to send a tel
egram to the senate committee on the
Beveridge bill and also an appeal TO
the Utah representatives in congress
asking their hearty support of the bill.
Some Pertinent Addresses.
At the beginning of the afternoon gen.
eraI session Mrs. p. n. Cook opened
with a short talk on Law Enforce
ment" Mrs. Cook held that the lack
of enforcement is due primarily TO the
ignorance or lack of interest of the cit
liens.
DR. Alice Houghton followed with a
carefully prepared paper presented with
all a physicians clearness on the teach
! ing of the vital truths to young people
of both sexes as preventive of many of
the evils of the day. She held that
the more carefully informed young peo-
pie are the more likely are they to have
especially of the evil effects of the dou-
BILE standard as entailing suffering and
sorrow on the family of a man long af-
ter the period of his wild oats is past
Mrs. Shepard followed with a talk on
1.-The Social Evil" making an earnest
plea for the women of the streets whose
lives of shame are made still more sor-
did and shameful by the exorbitant
rents demanded by landlords. She told
how in many cases these women are
driven to do without food if their rev.
enues are not sufficient to pay the out
rageous rents asked. The city itself
wrings something like $4,000 a year in
fines from these miserable victims, she
said.
Excellent music was furnished for all
the meetings by Mrs. A. H. Peabody al

Mrs. w. A. Wetzell, Miss Bess Pri-
meaux, Mrs. Virginia Swift Daily Miss
Edna Evans and others. At the noon
hour a luncheon was served the ladies
of the various churches having lent
their aid in providing sandwiches and

COURT IMPOSES
DEATH SENTENCE
General StoesseI Condemned
for His Surrender at Port
Arthur.
FOCK GETS A REPRIMAND
SMIRNoFF AND REISS ARE AC-
-QUITTED.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 20.-Lieutenant
General StoesseI was condemned to
death this evening by a military court
for the surrender of Port Arthur to the
japanese.
General Fock, who commanded the
Fourth East Siberian division of Port
Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for a
disciplinary offense which. was not con-
nected with the surrender, and General
SmirnOff, acting commander of the
fortress, and Major General Reiss, chief
of staff TO General Stoessel. were ac-
quilted of the charges against them for
lack of proof. The court recommended
that the death sentence upon Lieuten-
ant General StOessel be committed to
ten years Imprisonment In a fortress.
and that he be excluded from the serv-
ice.
StoesseI ImpassIve.
General Voder, president of the court,
read the sentences amid a tense ST
lence. BY a great effort of self-control,
General Stoessel maintained rigid, SOL
dier-like impassvity. General Smir-
nOff also was seemingly unmoved, but
there were tears in the eyes of General
Reiss.
The sentence of death was pro-
nounced upon General Stoessel, For
surrendering the fortress before all the
means of defense had been exhausted !;
for failing to enforce his authority, and
for military misdemeanOrs."
Communication Asked.
Communication of the sentence was
asked on the ground that Port Arthur,
beset by overwhelming forces, defend
ed itself under General StoessePs lead
ership with uneXampled stubborness
and filled the world with establishment
at the heroic courage of its garrison;
that several assaults had been repulsed
with tremendous losses on the part of
the enemy; that General Stoessel
throughout the siege had maintained
the heroic courage of the defenders,
and finally, that he had taken energetic
part in three campaigns"
Petition to Empress.
Before the sentence was read meas
ures were taken to prevent demon
StratiOn in favor of Stoessel by a num-
Der of the younger officers and wit
nesses who were present. Those later
sent a dispatch to the empress, saying
that they would humbly bear testimony
that General Stoessel was the soul of
the defense of Port Arthur; that he
had always encouraged and put heart
lIlIO In6 garrison, ana IndI IN case or
war they would wish to serve again
under such a hero. They asked the
empress graciously to bespeak from the
emperor a full pardon.
Dramatic Scene in Court.
There was a dramatic moment after
the reading of the sentence, when de-
tachment of soldiers filed into the hall.
The spectators, thinking that they were
about to seize General Stoessel, dis
played great excitement, several wo-
men fainting. 1t developed, however,
that this was merely a guard for the
dispersal of the court. General Stoes-
sell who was accompanied by his son,
was the object of a sympathetic DEM
onstration, friends kissing and shaking
him by the hand as he left the court
leaning on his sons shoulder
