Mr.. Mott, when seen at the New Will

Blood Is thicker than water, and !
will do anything in my power to make
life comfortable for my sister, but at
this time think 1t best not to take any
action at all In the matter of her liber-
alton. My niece will probably take
care of any proceedings that may be
instituted to release Mrs. Gage, and
am leaving everything with her"
Mrs. Gage is still in the insane hos
pital, but her daughter will take legal
steps today fol- ner liberation. Mr..
Mott is said to have favored having his
sister placed in a private sanitarium,
but the daughter rebelled and the fail
ure of brother and daughter to agree is
said to be the cause of Mott returning
TO Newark without taking any action.

DR.. Cassini contended that the sub
ject was not a proper one for public
schools, and asserted that he had the
Endorsement of other physicians whom
he had consulted. He said he voiced
the sentiments of twenty eight mothers
whose children attend the Lincoln Ave-
nue. School, and who would refuse to
send their children to school If the
subject was continued. There was a
storm of protest of members present,
and Commissioner Abrams declared
vehemently that the subject was one
of the best added to the subject now
being taught in the schools A vote of
those present taken resulted in tie.
and it was decided to refer the mat
ter to the teachers committee.
When interviewed by an Evening
Star reporter today Dr. Cassini said:
IT made the remarks at the meeting
last night only after considerable in
vestigation. have as authorities on
the question DR.. F. Forchheimer. of
the Medical College of Ohio, and DR..
L. Emmet Holt, of Columbia Univer-
sity, who both declare that they op-
pose the subject being taught In pub
lie schools.
"I have investigated thoroughly the
conditions at the Lincoln Avenue
School and find that although made up
mostly OF foreigners there are others
who oppose the subject. You must
understand that the subject of sex
hygiene is taught to girls of the ages
of 12 and over, I do not believe that
girls at this age are old enough to
take with the proper spirit the infor-
nation of aex. It opens to them an

avenue that may lead to evil habits. y
The controversy caused no end of
discussion in this city, and 1t was
learned that the subject is at present
not taught in the local public schools.
The subject of sex hygiene has been
discussed throughout the country by
educators, and there are very few who
are opposed to it's being taught in
schools where the children are at least
IL years old.
Addison 3. Poland. who Is confined
to his home. was unable to be seen,
but Isaac Lowensteip, secretary of the
Board of Education, when interviewed,
declared
THE citizens of this city are cIRmor-
ing for the subject to be taught In our
schools. Physicians. educators and
ministers have urged that the board
give consideration to the matter and
see that course be given. At the
present time throughout the country
there is much discussion on this topic,
and it appears TO me that great ma
jority favor the subject"
William Wiener. principal of the
Central Manual Training and High
School, said; II believe that sex hy-
giene should be taught In the local
schools. 1t must, however, be taught
by experts, who will deal with 1t prop
erly and carefully, and in a tudioious
and painstaking manner. The faith
full and sincere teaching of this sub
ject VIII greatly benefit. but there
must be a generous consideration

DEBATE BRIEFER
THAN EXPECTED

Vote Taken Earlier Than
Expected.

WASHINGTON. March 1s.-Chancei-
lor Mahlon Pitney, of New Jersey, to-
day was confirmed by the Senate as an
associate justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States.
The vote was so to 26. The oppo-
sition to Chancellor Pitney crumbled
during the first two hours OF the Sem.
ate's executive session and vote was
reached shortly after p m. Under
the agreement reached last night the
vote was scheduled for O'Clock. but
the debate was briefer than anticfr'
pated
At the opening Of the session
looked as though the vote would
very close. The fight which has
waged was mainly based upon Che
lor Pitney's decision II tbs -e1ass
blowers case. "a
That decision restrained jourp< men

and the members who struck against a
glass works in New Jersey some years
ago from using persuasion to urge en-
ployees to leave their work. The decf-
sion prohibited the strikers from per-
sonally approaching the strike breakers
in any way. and interdicted picketing
or boycotting.
It had been declared by Senator
Cummins, of Iowa, that the decision
was oppressive to American labor.
Senator O'Gorman and Senator Reed
both characterized it as showing =

Much stress had been laid by the op-
position TO the dissenting opinion in
the glass workers case. which held
the lower courts in error because they
enjoined strikers from the peaceable
persuasion of employees who were not
under any contract TO serve the COM
pany.
Senator Reed sent out Of the Senate
chamber for legal volumes to fortify
his arguments.
