Louisville, KY, Oct. 29.-Sugges-
tions for improving the Gate of He'll
were outlined yesterday afternoon be-
fore the National Woman's Suffrage
Convention by Miss Mary Johnston,
the author, of Richmond, Va. Miss
Johnston prefaced her suggestions by
quotations from Tertullian, likening
her sex to the entrance to the internal
regions In part she said:
"'Woman!' exclaims st. Thomas
Aquinas, Woman is rapidly growing
weed, an imperfect being. Her body
attains maturity more rapidly than
mans only because it is of less value
and Nature is engaged less in heI
making. Women are born to be eter
nally maintained under the yoke oil
their lords and masters, who are en-
lowed by Nature with superiority il
every respect, and therefore destined
to rule.

"MoraI Code us Given Premiere.


The initial performance on any
stage of The Moral Code" new play
written from a story OF the producers.
Arthur Hammerstein,- by Herbert
Thomson. was given In the Lyceum
theater, Rochester Monday night. The
play scored an emphatic success.
There were eight curtain calls after
the second act and IL after the third,
Mr.. Hammerstein is reported TO have
given the piece very elaborate stage
setting. II Is In four acts and Ave
scenes. and is unusual in theme. The
story has to do with social evils re-
sulting from marriages for money.
The action involves a prominent sur
geon, who, through such union,
brings the shooting OF his wife's real
choice and his own arrest, to avoid
scandal, on a charge of burglary. His
conviction by the criminal court and
the confession of the real cause OF the
shooting forms the strongest scene In
the play. The doctors attempt to
murder his rival under the pretense
OF performing a required operation In
the amphitheatre of a hospital is said
TO be most virile, besides being an un-
usual stage picture. In the end II Is
discovered that the husbands first
wife still lives and the harassed wife
is therefore legally free to follow the
moral code to happiness. THE Moral
Code" will be the attraction In the
Detroit opera house next week.
