New York, April 2s.-Society's atti. ture toward prostitution was advanced as the supreme test of Christian re- ligion by Jane Addams, the Hull House philanthropist, in a speech tonight In Carnegie hall on "The Church and the Social Evil" before the Men and Re- iigion Forward congress.
 The supreme religious test of our social order" said Miss Addams, 'is the hideous commerce of prostitution and the sorry results of that test are reg istered in the hypocricy and hardness of heart of the average good citizen to- ward the so-called fallen woman.

GAS FROM BROKEN MAIN
CAUSES DEATH OF FIVE
Sleeping Mother and Three Children
Among Victims of As

PHILADELPHIA, February 6.-Gas
escaping from broken street main kill
ed five persons and overcame three 9TH
ers living at 22d and Carlton streets, this
city, early today The dead, who were
found in one house, are:
Mrs. Sophie sDrazal. twenty-eight years
old. and her children. Rosie, two years;
Stephen, three. and Joseph, five.
John Wizniak, a boarder.
The occupants of an adjoining house
We're overcome but were revived. One
of the three, woman, is still in a Sc
rious condition.
Mrs Drazal's husband, who is employed
in a steam bakery, left home at 3 am.
without noticing the escaping gas.
The. presence of the gas was discoy-
cred by neighbors, and the police were
notified. In the meantime all the fami-
lies in the street were aroused When an
attempt was made to get the Drazal
front door of the little house was broken
in. The boarder was found in the hall
way fully dressed. He had returned from
an early night shift where Mrs. Drazal's
husband is employed after Drazal had
left the house. 1t Is believed he was
overcome while looking for the leak. The
Drazal family were found dead in their
beds.
The gas company, after an investiga-
ton, found that main had broken and
that the gas found it's way into a sewer
and then into the houses.

ACTION ST|RS
GREAT BR|TA|N'S ANGER
Resentment at Sentence I'm
posed Upon Lawyer Charged
With Espionage.

LONDON. February 6.-There is a ris-
ing tide of anger throughout England
over the sentence to three and a half
years confinement in a fortress, passed
by the-German imperial court at Leipzig.
upon Burtrand Stewart, a prominent Lon
don lawyer, on va charge of espionage.
The feeling aroused, indeed. has reached
such a height that there is a possibility
that the incident will prove the breaking
point of Anglo-German hostility.
The fact cannot be overlooked that
newspapers representing both of the great
political parties of Great Britain are
clamoring for government action in Ste
warts behalf.
Parliament May Act.
The matter will be brought up in the
house of commons as soon as parliament
meets, unless something should be done
by the government in the meantime.
British feeling has been inflamed about
the affair because the trial took place
mostly in secret. The only witness
against Stewart was Belgian, who is
reputed to be a professional spy, and is
known to have served several terms in
prison. The theory here is that the Bel
gian entrapped Stewart for the purpose
of getting paid for turning informer.
Stewards professional standing and
family connections are of the best.
Discussion in the Press.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
makes a passionate appeal to the British
people never to rest until justice has
been done. Other papers contrast the
trial of Stewart with the open procedure
of the English court of justice against a
German charged with similar offense.
