DO NOT APPROVE
OF A[DR|CH PLAN
CENTRAL BANK IDEA NOT CON-
CEtyED TO BE IN PUBLIC
INTEREST.

WASHINGTON. an. 1S.--The Aldrtch
plan TO place the finances and business
of the country in the control of CEN
trail bank vas regarded with general
dtsa eprovai by many senators To-day
Tho "old guard" stood with their
leader as usual. but Independent sena
tors held the opinion that the Rhode
Island Senator'S scheme OF reform was
not In the public interest
AS the question Is not one for con-
sheraton at this session, few senator's
took the time necessary to STUDY the
plan, and so were averse to discussing
II for publication. Their impression
based on the main features OF ths AL
drich reform as published In the news
papers was that no .sach power would
be given tho bankers by congress, One
declared IL would create banker $
trust.
No arrangements have been made by
the monetary commission for taking up
the Aldrich plan and preparing re-
port to congress. Their purpse seems
TO have the details of the scheme thor
oughiy circulated throughout the coun-
try and thus to draw out opinions OF
ali sorts OF interests, The sentiment
thus developed viii be taken into con-
sideration In the preparation or re-
port to congress.

the decline in engineering eluciency.
which / think has taken place since
1899. In that year the engineer corps

when naval otficers energies and

purpose OF which would be to de-
veiop a highly skilled force. corps
of specialists. in other words. should
be created. which should give its at

Of the navy. Once in this corps q
man should stay In. and be expected
to know only enough OF sea services
to enable him to work in harmony
with the sea-going division OF the
service.
Il believe Secretary of the Navy
Meyer Is doing the best he can under
the laws which are in force. How-
ever. In my opinion. We shall cons

Sand Proves Deadly
Charge for Shells

Navy officers are wondering II they
have not found in common sand a
deadly charge for a projectile. one
which is infinitely cheaper than pow
der and other filters used to charge
This material as an effective weapon
has Just come to the attention of ord
nance officers. A few weeks ago
when the hattleship Delaware was fir
ing upon the hulk Of the old San Mar
cos. off Tangier Sound. shells filled
with sand were used instead of shells
filled with powder. This sand was
cheap. and served all practical pur-
poses of target work. quite as well
as powder.
After the firing had proceeded for
some time II now develops, an in
spection was made of the effect. This
disclcs sed the fact the sand had done
enormous damage to the woodwork
about the ship. So great was the force
Of the impact Of this innocent look
ing charge. that had a gun crew beer
near a bursting shell. all would have
been killed by the flying sand.
Just how much use will be made OF
sand to fn shells, has not been de-
cided bv the Navy Department. Rear
Admiral Twining. chief of the Bureau u
of Ordnance. said today he had re-
ceiyed no official report OF the devas-
tatlon OF the sand loads upon the
wreck of the San Marcos. but had
heard some unofficial discussion OF
the matter.

exhibiting them. That is not womanly.
II think that is why l SO dislike suf-
ragettes-because they are too con-
spicuous," said Mrs. Edwards, smiling.
But women should have some occu-
patton or accomplishment so that they
can accept or reject matrimony as they
please" she said. seriously.
American Women Superior.
I'm this respect American women are
far superior to those of any other ma
tion," Mrs. Edwards declared, think
ing in reminiscence of the women of
many nations she recently has observed
in trip around the world.
"Only the women of the lower classes
in France learn anything worth while.
There is very little opportunity for
higher education of women in Europe,
and none in the Far East.
Here in America / think more women
each year are learning vocations. in
dustriaI and professional and rank right
up with the men.
And l believe" Mrs. Edwards con-
tinued, that no trade or profession
should be barred to women. We have
proved our worth with increased oppor-
tunities afforded during the last decade
and women will continue to show THAR
ability In broader fields in the future"
In this Mrs. Edwards indorses the
statement accredited to President Taft,
In which he said:
women. when they come to con-
slider matrimony, should have a free and
unfettered choice. This they can have
only when they are in such a position
that they are absolutely Independent.
Then, II they decide to marry, they
can turn their faces toward the new
life with the reasonable hope of un-
mixed happiness"
Training Essential.
Industrial vocational training for wom-
an is the solution OF the problem said
to be favored by the President.
He is exactly right in that" says
Mrs. Edwards. But / believe marriage
Is the natural and proper sphere OF
women-not commercial life. Every
woman should marry-if she can, and
II she wants to. But she should be so
Independent that she is not compelled
to accept matrimony.
English women boast Of their supe-
rior independence, but the American
woman has real individuality and true
independence. English suffragettes are
independent on the rostrum, but absoN
lutely dependent upon their husbands,
brothers, or fathers when they get
home.
':French women, except the peasant
class. are less independent thar almost
any women on earth, possibly excepting
the Turkish"
Mrs. Edwards has had ample oppor-
tunity to observe the progress OF wom-
ankind in most modern countries. Since

want to-.

believe don't want to vote.

wants to.

EWLsOF CAPITAL
TO Be EXPOSED TO
? PURITY CONGRESS
Crusade Will Be Conducted
by the Rev. Wilbur F.
Crafts.

Declaring the encroachment of the
red light district upon the United States
Capitol has reached a stage where II
demands national attention, the Rev
Wilbur F. Crafts, 2o6 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast, superintendent OF the In
ternational Reform Bureau, today au-
nounced he intends to present the mat
ter to the great convention of the
American Purity Congress in Columbus,
Ohio. next month.
The Rev. Mr.. Crafts is one of the four
Washingtonians who will make ad-
dresses on the moral issues of the day.
He stated today he considered the
movement OF the red light district to-
ward the Capitol grounds a national in
suit, which will be bitterly resented
when he presents the situation as he sees
1t to the assemblage of purity workers.
Other Washington residents who are to
appear on the purity program and EN-
phasize his statements are James j
Patten. of the Immigration Research
Bureau; Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, AMI
Mrs. Mary Church Terrell.
March Toward Capitol.
THE march of the red light district
toward the Capitol grounds cannot be
questioned said the Rev. Mr.. Crafts
this morning. I'VE have had our men
investigating this for months. 1t is a
matter of national concern"
More than 1000 moral experts will
be in attendance at the Columbus con-
gress. The International American
Purity Congress is credited with being
the most influential organization of its
kind in the country. Purity excursions
OF special trains have been run thou
sands of miles over all parts of the
United States. The success of these
trips will be explained and reports on
actual vice conditions will be made by
people who devote their entire time to
a study of It
The Rev. Mr.. Crafts explained that in
his address to the congress he will ad-
yocate cutting the roots to a life of
wee by eliminating bad literature, bad
shows, and street rowing In the lives
of children.
1T is more effective to start with
the pure child than to work with the
fallen man or woman" he said.
Tho Rev. Mr.. Crafts will assail the
So-called high-class DRAMA which deals
with the eternal triangle of a husband
his wife, and lover. Theaters of all
classes will be attacked by the Rev.
Mr.. Crafts. He says moving pictures
familiariZe children with scenes OF
crime and that the dark playhouses in
which they are shown court familiarity.
Street rowing is one of the most
Washington engage in, according to
