manslaughter in the case of Mar
garet Schwartz, a girl found asphyx-
lated and burned near door on the
ninth floor The main argument by
both the prosecution and the defense
was directed against this door. The
state introduced over 100 witnesses
to prove that 1t was locked at the
time of the fire, and the defense re-
futed this contention by volume Of
testimony.
Assistant District Attorney Bost-
wick argued that the factory was
crowded with equipment which Har-
ris himself had laid out and that for
two months the cuttings from more
than 100000 waists had been stack
ed about the place, constituting a
grave hazard In case of fire. He
pictured the case as "one of the
most awful crimes in history" In
charging the jury, Judge Grain dis
cussed at great length the question
of reasonable doubt in the case.

TEN DoNr's FOR YOUTHS
Dr. Hyde Supplements His Decalogue
for Young Women

Brockton, Mass, Dec. 26.-Dr AL
bert Marion Hyde, whose 10 "don'ts
for women" have been spread broad
cast, celebrated Christmas by formu-
lating ten "dont's for young men.
His product. just as it came from the
typewriter, is as follows:
DO not speak of the old gent
and the old woman Fathers and
mothers are a necessary evil in the
present system of things They have
spoken respectfully of you when
outsiders could not see anything on
which they could hang even small
compliment.
do not give all your attention to
the education of the brains on the
outside of you head. Football hair
and letter on your jersey are not
sufficient training for life. The
young fellow who is old fashioned
enough to go to school for study still
has a place in the world.
do not invest your nickel In a
glass of beer, then afterward criti-
else the other fellow who has inves.
ted his nickel in savings bank.
Beer checks and savings bank checks
as investments are not in the same
class.
do not put the money of your
tailor and your washwoman in IS
opera seats and 81 theatre tickets.
They may prefer to spend their earn.
ings in some other way.
DO not measure your job entirely
by the size of the pay envelope and
the length of the vacation. Highway
robbery is an ideal vacation measur-
ed in these ways
DO not try to get rich quick;
smarter men than you, who have
come to town without a cent, have
tried it and lost all they had.
DO not wrong a woman. Every
woman is some mothers daughter
The white life you ask from your
mothers daughter wou have no right
to take from the daughter of another
DO not defle your tongue with
profane and vulgar speech, revealing
ignorance and showing the coarse
ness in your soul
DO not think you have sounded
all the ocean Of truth when you have
let out all your little line The
ocean on whose shore Newton had
gathered only a few pebbles can
never be all In your tin cup
DO not be stranger to the
church Of your father. The old pew
looks lonesome without you. Your
father went to his honor and his
prosperity straight from the church
door. The path is still there. You
need the church and the church
needs you"

YOUNG WOMAN
FELL into CANAL
LAST NIGHT
Sad Accident of Christmas
Week at WatervIiet
WITH HER MOTHER PRESENT
Miss Mary Mecauley Had Gone to
the Canal for a Pail Of
Water

Troy, Dec. 2S.-Mlss Mary McCaul-
ey, aged twenty-one years, was
drowned in the Erie canal at Water
vliet last evening shortly before sew
en- o'clock in the presence of her
mother and several other persons,
walking along Second avenue below
Twenty-third street. Miss McCauley
met her death on the evening OF her
birthday anniversary. After the fam
lily had enjoyed their evening meal
and were conyersing, Miss McCauley
took a pail from the kitchen and told
her mother that she was going to
take water from the canal to fill the
reservoir on the kitchen range. The
bank of the Erie canal is only about
ten feet from the McCauley home
st,ad. The night being dark the
young woman was told by her
mother to be very careful. She
lau ghingly replied that she had been
to the canal before, and left the
house.
A few minutes later Mrs. McCauley
heard her daughter call for help and
she hurried to the canal, but the
young woman had disappeared. Pres
emily two hands appeared above the
surface of the water, and the mother
vainly tried to reach them. Mrs.
McCauley rushed frantically back to
the yard of the residence, and pro-
curing a clothes pole returned to the
dock but could find no trace Of the
drowning girl. Search was immedi-
ately made for the body and shortly
after seven o'clock 1t was located a
few feet from where the accident oc-
