why not send the girls after the boys
Miss Josephine Knowles. in opening at
Steinway Hall her campaign for the de
liverance Of unmarried daughters from
the dull monotony OF home life did not
sum up the movement in this piunt' III
Cisive question. Yet that was what Il
came 10 at the close OF an exceedingly
interesting address The remedy sug-
gested for wasted human womahhooo
was assisted emigration 10 new neius'
where talents could be developed re-
sponsiblities be faced and opportunities
for usefulness be found. Young men
assisted by their fathers and crowded
out at home had gone out to the colonies
and made them what they were. why
should not young unmarried women
who were not wanted at home FOLLOW
them and make something OF their empty
lives Of WEAKNESS and appointment!
II there were difficulties in the way,
financial and otherwise, let them be re-
moved by the formation of an inf1uen-
tlal association with reserves Of capital
and sagacious policies.
After recent vagaries of window
smashing and suffragette outrage it was
a relief for a deeply interested audience to
hear a beautiful woman with melodt-
Gus voice talk about something less con
troversial than votes for women. The
lecture was not I'm the remotest degree
political. yet 1t dealt with a problem
more serious than anything debated in
Parliament during a period OF socialist
upheaval. Daughters at home without
financial independence and with no
training or education for earning their
bread or making a place for themselves
were not really living. why not open
the cages and let them fly cut? Why
not do as much for the girls as for the
boys? They are now deprived OF their
birthright Of happiness from lack or
money. opportunity. confidence and re-
sponsibiity. Even the swarms Of gen
tlewomen who escape from dull routine
al home and go out regularly to work
accomplish little. Even If there were
not a prodigious waste OF life in their
petty occupations and baffied careers,
work for the sake of work would be flu
tile and disappointing. Why not stop
all this waste, satisfy the passionate
cravings Of human hearts and enable
the superiuous women TO find place
where there is room for them and where
they are really needed?
Miss Knowles has anticipated the OBJ
will never allow their daughters 10 go
abroad in that vague way. She proposes

Discussions in the Cabinet.
The political results OF the momentous
struggle can only be dimly foreshadowed.
The Prime Minister'S chief source OF
weakness has been Cabinet dissenson.
for which Mr. Lloyd George has been
chiefly responsible. Evidence has not
been wanting that the Chancellor Of the
Exchequer was hoping for a government
upset by which the UniOnists could be
brought into power prematurely and held
responsible for the failure or the repeal
Of the insurance act. Certainly he has
favored concessions 10 the strike leaders
which would have discredited the gov

press and the Radical benches have sup
ported him with famous zeal.
1t is now plain that the Chancellor :
influence is a spent force and that he is
no longer the power behind the leader.
The Prime Minister will have full credit

wage act. and the various factions i'm the
coalition will he dependent upon his re-
tention in the leadership. 1t may be all
open question whether the government
possesses sufficient vitality or authority

only leader capable Of holding the forces

 10 DO 20 YEARS Negro Who Killed Brother in law Enters Pleas of
 Guilty.
o I'll FRS SENTENCED
Verr Hawkins and Elijah Johnson are Also Sentenced By Judge Grace
 In Circuit Court.

 Barley shot and killed his br ther- in-law, William Moore, at Wab.c"eka on February 19, 1911. The m, had some previous trouble and Moore shot and painfully though not seri- ously wounded Barley. On the day of the tragedy Barley was preparing to leave their home and another fuss arose between them, resulting in Bar ley shooting and killing Moore. Bar ley ran away but surrendered to an officer at Clarendon few days lat CT, saying he did not wish to continue lodging the Jefferson county officers. He asked to be returned to this city for trial and Sheriff Brewster sent an officer after him.
 Elijah Johnson, negro, pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny, and was sentenced to one year, in the state prison
 Austin Biffin, recently tried, by a jury and found guilty of grand lar ceny, was sentenced by Judge Grace to one year in the penitentiary, and Verr Hawkins, who was given five years in a jury in the circuit court last week for grand larceny, was also sentenced.

Disease May Wreak Havoc After Battle With Water
 Is Over.
MENINGITIS APPEARS
ResidentG If Madison, Ark, Fight Fey- CT EYidemic-1TO-ves Kill
 Many Head of Cattle.

Memphis, Tenn, April 23-With the battle against the Mississippi river flood ended so far as breaks in levees are concerned. conditions grow daily more acute, as regards suffer- ing among those rer-, red homeless by the spreading water from the var- ious breaks.
 In the St. Francis basin of Al sas opposite Memphis, water fro. .lle two breaks in the levee has spread for forty miles. At the extreme Western end of this inland sea, Mad- ison, Ark, a battle against feves, has ben fought and within the past few days numbers of cases of spinal menigitis has appeared.
 The bottom lands of Arkansas com foress, opposite Shelb' .ounty, in which Memphis is situs !, sheltered many animals, deer an( ther small game seem te have ta. tU the westward as many instan of thei. being captured come daily from the Arkansas side.
 On the Tennessee side, however, more animals have fled. Numerous complaints of the incursions of timber wolves and wildcats have been re- pcc.sed to the authorities in the fourth and fifth civil districts Many cat tie have been slain by the wolves. Several of the wolves themselves rs'e been killed. A concerted M3vem ent is now on foot among the fox hun- ters of the country to organize hunt to drive out the invaders, but this will hardly seem possible until the water recedes more.
 The past two days have witnessed the greatest fall at Memphis than at any time since the flood began. To- day it fell half foot, from 40.1 70 39.6 feet. The river will be within it's banks Monday according to the lccal ferecaster. The crest of the flood has passed Helena and the act ual relief from the water is confined to points below at the break at Beu- lah, Miss. Water from this break is still spreading, having reached 40 miles into the rich Mississippi delta. Stories of negroes drowned and dead from exposure are heard daily, but are difficult to verify.

cries for help, gradually dying away
 into continuous chorus of low means. For an hour these continued, while the women in Pittman's boa stood frozen with horror. There was room in the boat for more, sixteen more at least.
 Some, of these who were strullying in the icy sea might have been taken aboard, but Pullman made no effort to go back for them.
 When at length, after more than an hour, the last faint meaning had died altogether away. The men in the boats again went to the oars and the boat moved out blindly over the water till dawn and the lights of the Carpathia were sighted almost to- gether.
 Hitchins Refused to Aid
 Major Peuchen told the same story of the cries, the dreadful cries and moans, he called them A little while before call dad come from the ship, but Hitchins, the quartermaster re- fused to go back. "ft is our life now, not there's" he said.
 Some of the women pleaded with him, Our husbands are on the ship, we cannot leave them. Please go back" they begged.
 There is nothing there but los oi skiffs," said Hitchins, brutely, and refused to bring the boat back.
 Was Brutal to Women.
 This quartermaster, who Peuchen said was utterly unfit for his position refused to take an oar or to pefcrm any service, but sat at the helm. Il is of record elsewhere that Hitchins, who sat at the wheel then the Titanic struck, asked one of the women for brandy. Peuchen said he swore hor- ribly, all the time and was utterly brutal to the women. Asked whey he did not interfere, Peuchen said
 "He was large powerful man. I could not reach from where l was without struggle. I had had row with him once. I thought it better not to talk to him.
 Peuchen testified however that ev- en had the life preservers been per- feet few men could have lived in that
