Prosecuting Officers Sheer at Efforts Public as Represented

Crimes Against Girls

by Miss starrct, of the girls industrial
school, IN her paper read on sunday
evening before the mass meeting of
citizens gathered to take some action
TO bring an end to the too frequent
eases of rape and seduction in this city.
The gal in the case was from the re-
form school out on probation. She is
a young Cir, and one of the especial
charg of Miss Starrett, who wishes to
establish a precedent whereby the man
in a ease of this kind may be treated
as severely as the woman. The latter

WoMAN'S BOARD
HOLDS SESSION
(FrOm "Wednesday Advertiser)

(From "Wednesday Advertiser)
Comparatively few women gathered
at the regular meeting of the Woman 3
Board of Missions of the Central Union
Church yesterday afternoon. The at
tendance averages from fifty to sixty
women and Mrs. Richards, president of
the board, expressed herself as disap-
pointed that more were not present
although she made allowances for the
busy Christmas season. At the next
meeting which will be held in January
she made a special plea for each mem.
Der to bring some one with them.
Mrs. Rowland, Rev. Mr.. Scudder and
Mrs. Doremus Scudder contributed to
the literary program. Mrs Rowland
read a paper on "The Moral Teachings
of the Worlds Great Religions She
discussed the morals of each religion
separately in which the actions and
deeds considered right by the followers
of each religion was brought out plain
ly. This paper was the only one touch
ing upon the study of religions which
local church women are much interested
in and in which the Christian religion
is always shown to be the best one.
llFN' MI cCuuucl gave IL DTltI ShtICu
of the religion movement in India and
the difficulties surrounding the work
there. Little girls are their only
means of getting the Christian religion
into the homes, because as soon as the
girls reach maturity, which is between
the ages of twelve and thirteen, they
are taken from the Christian schools
and closely sheltered in their homes
until their marriage.
''Bible women are permitted to call
at the homes and instruct the girls if
they care to continue the study" said
Rev. Mr.. Scudder, "and it was often
through the work of the little students
that whole families were won over to
the Christian faith. -
Mrs. Doremus Scudder told of her
visit on the Pacific Coast and the diff
ferent churches she visited there. In
Boston she was present at meeting
of the American Board Of Missions and
brought news and greeting to the local
! society.
Three letters were read. One from

DISCUSS DEVICES
FOR SAVING LABOR

LabOr-saving devices for the devel-
opment of the output of sugar were dis
cussed by the planters association yes

report presented by A. Gartley and vii.

largely with cane leaders and unload.
ers, many of which were given detailed
attention in the reports.
The cane leaders and unloaders have
not all proved as acceptable as the de-
signers expected, as operations with a
model and u crude sample did not live
up to the expectations in the completed
machines.

association inspected at the plant of

Hedges. The wisest plan is to study
human nature as II exists, TO endeavor

ditions, and not TO put upon the statute

other course results only in the explOita-

later. in its infraction, which harms the
public.

that the momentum OF progress estab-
