"BIDE A WEE, " SAY
WOMEN PHYSICIANS
"Doctoresses" Declare Loves Young
Dream Should Be Limited
to Older Girls.

Disputing the assertion recently made
by DIR. William F. Boos. OF the Massa-
chusetts General Hospital, that early
marriages secure the greatest happiness
for husbands and wives, as well as a su-
perior quality OF children. a number OF
prominent women physicians OF the Dis
trict yesterday gave their views on the
question Of youthful marriages. II was
asserted that 1t has been scientifically
proven that the healthiest and strongest
children, mentally and physically. are
born to parents who have reached ma
turity. A woman should be at least
twenty-five and a man twenty-siX TO en-
ter the married state, they declared.
While agreeing that there are argu-
ments in favor OF early marriages. espe-
cially for the young man, the women
doctors of the District are opposed 10
boy and girl weddings as a general
proposition.
Women should Wait.
Il believe that young couples should
wait until they reach full physical de-
velopment before marrying" said DR..
Isabel II. Lamb. "a woman is not phys
ically ready for marriage until she is
twenty-five years old. and a man until
he is twenty-siN. For the sake OF the
children, too, I would urge later mar
riages. The offspring of youthful mar
riages is not strong mentally in many
casos, while the children of matured
couples are more apt to be well devel-
oped mentally and physically.S Then.
again, the children born TO undeveloped
mothers and fathers are more liable to
disease than the offspring of physically
developed parents
II believe in reasonably early mar
r:ages," said DIR. Ida II. Heiberger. but
not too early. A woman at twenty-five
knows her man better than a girl OF
eighteen possibly could. Young couples.
under the ages of. say, twenty-one for
the girl and twenty-five for the man. are
not physically prepared for marriage.
There are some arguments in favor OF
early marriages. For instance, l believe
that no one should marry without love,
and the marriages Of young couples are
much more likely TO be love matches
than weddings later in life.
Early Love Unselhsh.
In later years men and women are
apt to marry out OF selfish motives;
women especially, in order to attain ad-
vanced social position or more comfort
able surroundings"
II am opposed TO early marriages for
two reasons" said DR.. Elnora c. Folk
mar. First. for the sake OF the on
spring. and, secondly, from an economic
standpoint. The children of later mar
riages are much more vigorous and we'll
mentally than the offspring OF
early marriages woman must have
attained the age of twenty-five and a
man twenty-siN in order to be In posses
sion Of their entire physical faculties.
Then, again. in these days IL is prac-
ticaIly impossible for the average young
man TO provide for a family. The only
argument I can see in favor of early
is social purity, especially on
the part OF the men"

Venerable Lawyer Denies Charge of
Criminal Violation of the
Sherman Law.

New York, March 2s.-In a clear. ring
ing voice. without the slightest tremor
denoting his eIghty-three years, John E.
allegation in the governments indictment
charging him with criminal violation Of
the Sherman law.
The venerable lawyer. for more than
forty years an ACKNOWLEDGED leader OF
the American bar and for half a century
one OF the most widely known Presby-
terian laymen in the United States, took
the witness stand in his own behalf late
In the afternoon. He will conclude his
direct testimony tomorrow morning.
Then he will be taken in hand for cross
examination by United States District
Attorney Wise.
Whether any OF the other defendants
Washington b. Thomas, Arthur Donner,
and George II. Frazier-will be placed in
the witness chair has not yet been deter
mined by their counsel
Judge Hand to-day dashed the hopes of
the defense to have the case taken from
the jury ond the indictments quashed on
the plea that the statute of limitations
barred the prosecution. This forced the
sugar trust lawyers to produce evidence
TO combat the strong case made by the
government, which is based mainly upon
hundreds Of exhibits of documentary evil
sugar trust itself Every letter and other
memoranda thus presented by the prose
cution bears directly upon the govern
ments main charEe-that through q loan
OF $I,250.o0O OF sugar trust money, made

further strain for the day by Judge
Hand suddenly adjourning court until to-
morrow. After leaving the stand. the
aged lawyer laughed merrily with his
counsel. Turning TO the newspaper men,
he said:
"A little thing like a criminal prosecu-
tion can't hurt me-"
III this thing keeps up II will be ex-
tremely dangerous for lawyers to serve
their clients faithfully" volunteered his
son, former Representative herbert Par
sons, wh1 had preceded his father in
the witness chair. He had told OF a talk
with Henry HavGmeyer, Just before the
date Of the Seg1l loan. The founder Of
the sugar trust, he said, requested him
to inform his father who was chief coun-
sci for the trust. that he had decided to
make a lean of S,25lO0O to Gustav Z.
kissel and for the elder Parsons to take
charge Of the transaction. Herbert Par
sons also testified that as late as 1895 he

F0RDS HAS AN
$4,000 BLAZE
Stable and Carriage House
on Pfeiffer Estate Burn.
to the YvENING NEWS.

Special to the NE VS..
FoTds, May 20:-A fire of mys-
terious origin did $4,000 worth of
damage late Saturday night TO the
outbuildings and contents on the
estate of John Pfeiffer, owned and
occupied by Mrs. Sophia NJ. Pfeiifar.
The carriage house and new brick
stable were destroyed, ana the hand
some residence and old barn saved
by the heroic efforts of the Metuch~
en- fire department and the bucket
brigade formed by residents of
and lead by Lawyer William A.
Spencer, clerk of the MiddleseX
County Board of Taxation. The
eighteen horses in the brick stable
were saved by Mr.. Spencer's son,
Lester, a student at the Perth Am
boy high school.
Mrs. Spencer discovered the fire
at II o'clock Saturday night, in the
carriage house. Before sufficient
help could be summoned, the blaze
has spread to the barn and was i'm
perilling the residence only fifty
feet away. The fire fighters, how
ever, managed to save the home, al
though hampered by a high wind
which blew towards the house. No
one can explain the origin of the fire
as the residents on the estate are
unusually careful about dropping
smoking matches, etc. around the
stables. The destroyed outbuildings
were equipped with electric lights,
but Mr.. Spencer does not believe the
blaze was caused by defective wir-
ing. The care taker of the estate
resides in a house about two hun
dred feet from the site of the fire.
Nine wagons and a cart, includ-
ing a handsome wv coach, were de-
stfoyed in the carriage house. The
wagons: Coach, three buggys, sur
rey, a two seated wagon, a three
seated wagon and two runabouts.
A large quantity of harness, machin-
cry and a new saw mill was also
burned. In the brick barn was har-
ness. hay and grain, all included in
the loss. The entire loss was Gov
cred by insurance to the value of
! two thirds the amount of damage.
The policies were placed with Boyn-
ton Brothers and Company, OF Perth

gang of men at work lifting heavy
things. He shouted various kinds

SPEEDING MUST
BE ABOLISHED
Chief Burke Gives Ten Chaut-
feurs Quiet Tip.

Ten chauffeurs who drive automobiles
about this city, a number of whom
have at times been inclined to be reck-
less and drive faster than the law per
mits. appeared before Chief of Police
Patrick J. Burke Saturday night and
were told what would be expected Of
them as chauffeurs so far as laws were
concerned and what would happen to
them if they failed to obey. The driv-
ers said they fully understood the re
a~uirements, promised to be careful and
thanked the chief.
Six fatalities by automobiles the past
year in Middlesex county practically
six murders, the police chief says,
caused the authorities of the county and
various municipalities within it to take
the steps they have. He says the driv-
ers and car owners Of this city with n
few exceptions have received their last
warning. Reckless driving or speeding
will result in arrest, imposition of a
heavy fine and revocation of the Ii
cense, forever barring the same person
from driving a car in this state, the
chief says He so informed the assem-
blage before him at 7 O'Clock Saturday
night and informed them that he had
received repeated complaints against a
number of auto drivers for speeding and
general carelessness. He emphasized
the fact that they had received their
last warning, because it would be toler-
ated no longer.
Chief Burke says there are three
prominent men in the city who w
cars and often use them recklessly, who
will be warned as soon as he can see
them. 1t will be the final tip for them,
