Woman's Auxiliary.
Richard Sedgwick. president and
treasurer of the Woman's Auxiliary of
the Y NJ c. A fell the honor of
making report on the work of this
organization which is so closely allied
to the association work proper and
which has been responsible in a large
degree for the success of the institu-
ton. The reports of both were short.
The auxiliary has a membership of
about a hundred and is well organ
lied with five committees. including
the house. boys, membership. visiting
and social committees overseeing
each branch of the organization S
work The motto is Love, Service
and Christian Forbearance." The fin
ancial report given by Mrs. Sedgwick
showed there was a balance of APP
proximately 1914 in the treasury on
January 1. The disbursements were
in the neighborhood of $1,000, the eff
forts of the organization along this
line being to purchase needed furnish
ings and the like for the association.
The revenue was derived from mem
bership dues and entertainments
which were given.

larity between this and an amendment
by Senator Curtis to which Senator
Fleming consented. which says the
saloonist shall receive no gift or loan
of money, furniture, fixtures or 9th

II was also Senator Curtis whose
suggestion raised the saloonist's bond
from $4,000 to $4,000. and made him
responsible for all unlawful conduct
of any sort in his place of business.
Senator Strange walked up with the
only Republican suggestion which got
any welcome. This makes two viola
tons OF the liquor law sufficient
ground for the revocation of a license
on the ground that such a saloonist is
not a man of good moral character

sacrifice, while not actually forced on
the wife. was SO strongly insisted on
by public opinion that II amounted to
a law, and it's victims were legion.
Scores of widows were often burned
upon the funeral pile of II single RAJ

the monstrosity, thousands were sac

India Yves appalling.
The millions Of widowed women
were completely at the mercy OF the
remorseless superstition OF the times.
The ministers OF Rrahmanism told
the widow that her sacrifice was nee

FOR RAILROAD MEM
Bill in Their Interest Passes
the House.
palladium Specially


Indianapolis. Feb 2.-Representative
Rentschler's bill providing that rail-
road employees when quitting the serv-
ice of railroad company shall be pro-
vided with a letter of recommendation
and be paid all due them within -
hours, passed the house Wednesday by
"A vote of IS to ..
Opposition to the bill came from
Representative McMullen who said
that the bill if passed would force the
railroads to give recommendation to
men discharged from the service for
theft.
The company might be satisfied
the man was thieying, and yet be una
BILE to prove it, said McMullen. In
that case they would not dare to give
him letter stating the cause OF the
discharge. and certainly could not give
him letter recommending him fol
employment anywhere else
Representative Keegan and Ham
mond argued the bill was aimed at the
indirect system of blacklisting EN-
ployes by railroad officials. He de
ciared it was the habit OF the com
panies when man quit one road to
apply for work upon another road, tc
await report from the road last EN-
ploying the man before giving him
work. This is to prevent such della,
and to force the company to give a
man a favorable report unless they
have something definite against him,
said Keegan.

Weed Complimented.

High compliments were paid Secre-

months ago resigned similar posi-
ton at Stamford, Conn, to accept the
vacancy here, by Richard Sedgwick,
the president. In his response the
secretary dwelt on generalities in as
sociation work and declared in con-
clusion that in 1911 he was confident
the work of the association would
count particularly in the creation of
better manhood: that many more
boys and men of the city would join
the organization and that he felt con-
fident there would be many other sur
prises in store. He spoke of the CO.
operation between the schools, homes
churches and association, which COM
bined made accomplishments easier
and greater. He referred to the seem
ingly utter lack of denominational
spirit when affairs of common welfare
were at stake and declared he was
much pleased. He said that in the

they met on the evening of April q,
1908, in pool hall and Whitaker shot
Conrad down. Young Stevenson died
the next day. The trial was holly con-
tested, but Whitaker was convicted.
In speaking Of the affair today,
Knute STEVENSON said that the murder
Of his SON was cold blooded one and
that he had presented new evidence
to the board Of pardons to show that
his son had Just finished a SNOWFALL
game with some other boys and that
he had done nothing to injure Whit
aker.
There is another side to the story,
however. Whitaker's friends, who
have worked so hard for his. pardon,
maintain that there we're extenuating
circumstances. They also assert that
Whitaker is now an old man, that he
has but few years to live and that
If he is freed, his aged wife and a
daughter await him in the far away
south and he will go to them and live
out the remainder OF his life peace
