L4WTER IS ACCUSED.
Commissioner Bingham Finds III
leged Altered TestimOnN.

Accused OF tampering with the testimony taker
at the trial of policeman and using the altered
copy before the Appellate Court Of Brooklyn,
thereby securing the reinstatement Of the dismissed
man. Jacob Rouss, lawyer, member of the firm
of Grant & Rouss, was yesterday arrested on two
warrants one charging felony and the other a
misdemeanor.
Action was taken by the Commissioner after he
had read the alleged altered testimony containing
changes made in the handwriting of Mr.. Rouss.
Tho law firm, of which Louis j. Grant Is a mem
ber has appeared in many cases involving the dis
missal OF policemen.
The felony charge is a violation Of Section 56S OF
the Penal Code which relates to falsfying records.
and the misdemeanor charge is a violation of Sec
ton 14S of the Penal Code, which relates to the
misconduct Of an attorney at law.
Third Deputy Police Commissioner Bert Han
son is the complainant in both cases. The arrest
grows out Of q charge which was made against
Patrolman Herman L Ringelmann. The latter
was charged with advising a witness to testify
falsely and attempting to induce witness to leave
the state. Ringelmann placed on trial before
former Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe in Brooklyn
on April 2 1907. Mr.. Rouss appeared for the pa
trolman, the evidence was turned over to Com
missioner Bingham. who dismissed the accused
man. The lawyer then, according to Assistant Dis
trict Attor1 ey Kindeberger, took the case before
the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in
Brooklyn and Ringelmann was renstated.
Upon receiving the decision Commissioner Bing-
ham read II over and discovered the alleged atera-
tions.
Magistrate Finn In the Tombs court, fixed the
bail at 81 900 in the felony charge and $500 on the
misderneanor. Bail was furnished.

gaining" was the subject Professor ]. B. Clark,
of Columbia University.
Professor Clark dealt with the relation Of en-
ployer and employed. He discussed the proper way
for the latter TO get their rights. He thought this
could best be accomplished by concerted collective
request demand. He deplored strikes, especially
those in which violence was used.
At the~Socological Society meeting at the Chal-
fontS to-day Mrs. c. P. Gilman, of New York, read
a paper on How Do Home Conditions React On
the Family The speaker said that, far as
woman was concerned she but little better
than a slave to her husband. She mended, planned
meals and attended to household duties generally.
The woman whose husband could afford her the as
sistance Of another woman was exalted to the posi-
ton Of a "sort of section boss"
We need homes in which mother and father will
be equally free and equally bound both resting
gether in its shelter and privacy, both working
gether interests" she said. This requires
structural and functional changes that shall elm
mate the last of domestic industries and leave
home that is ones workshop.
The effect of the modern home, with It's present
degree of segregation of women and with it's over
flowing expenses. is to postpone and often prevent
marriage, and TO degrade marriage, when accom-
plished through servile and dependent position
