Dorothy Dix Writes on InCivism

THERE is q great deal OF talk
just now about incivism.
InCivism is nice, big,
mouth-flling word that refers in
an insidious and uncomplimen-
tary way to those men who neg
lect their civic duty, principally
by failing to vote.
The highbrows profess them
selves puzzled by the problem,
yet the answer is simple enough.
It is: Give women the ballot.
Not that they have any gu
perior civic wisdom that is great
er than their husbands, or faith
ers', or brothers, Simply that
they have more civic conscience,
and that when women have
right to vote they will not only
vote themselves, but they will see
to it that the men of their house
holds do.

Modesty and the Policeman
By REV. CHARLES F. AKED, D. D.

My point is that the police ars
not qualified to judge. And thai
If there be immodesty, police in
reference is not the wav 70
remedy it. These things had bst-
ter be relegated to the court os
public opinion. That is not In
fallible. 1t will not effect a RENE
dy at once. It will not effect .
remedy universally. But where :,
fails police interference will ro-
succeed. If good taste. goos
sense, good feeling, a respect for
oneself and a decent regard for
the feelings of others will nor
avail to safeguard the prophecies
neither will man-made judgments
enforced by the police.
A QUESTION will arise in N,
"a minds Of many readers as To
how far this doctrine of non-in-
tervention is to carry us. Shall
we not have in the cabaret, in the
vaudeville, in the theater, an or.

admitted? Is not this to undo
much Of the good work which has
been done in securing an observ.
ance Of decency in our shows?
A broad distinction has to b
drawn. And a perception Of this
will save us from many blunders.
1t illustrates a rule which NAV be
taken as a guide through a hun
dred current controversies:
Money must not be made out Of
immodesty. A questionable dis
play by woman in the street, :
still more questionable display BY
a summer girl on the seashore, is
one thing. but the exploitation Of
immodesty for the sake Of gain ls
a thing entirely different. One

stopped in compliance with wha,
We are coming to regard as fun

being, that men shall not make
their market out of wrongdoins.
lmmodesty is wrong; and It Is q
pity to see our girls willingly put
themselves into clothes which lay
them open to a suspicion OF I'M
modesty. But the deliberate, sys-
tematic encouragement OF im-
modesty for the sake OF gain Is
crime. And between the two
there roll oceans of moral dis
tinction.
XNE have become familiar with
the phrase "commercialized

bauchery and sin. We can just

To Govern Promotion of Bremen to Engineers and of
 Engineers to Advanced Grades of Service
PROMULGATED IN 1.-THE INTEREST OF sAFETY9
One Years Experience be Required of Engineers Before Being Placed Passenger Locomotives and Two Years Experience Before They will be Allowed to Run Fast Trairs-Brotherhood Official Surprised at Action

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 14.-In what is claimed the interest of safe ty,' new rules governing the promotion of firemen to engineers and of engi- neers to advanced grades of service, and for the discipline of both,' were promulgated today by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, effective at Once.' A committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers, headed by Chairman F. $. Evans, has had five conferences with General Manager c. l.. Bardo in the past fortnight, during which opposition was expressed to any change of rules as had been outlined by the operating officials of the company.
 Not Intended to Impose Hardship.
 In posting the new rules the com- pany says this is done 'in accordance with its previously announced policy to adopt and enforce every req asonable rule and practice which experience has shown would help to protect life and preserve property"
 ''In promulgating these new rules" says the road in statement, there is no intention on the part of the man agement to impose hardships or oner- ous conditions upon it's employees. They are solely intended to promote safety in operation. The rules do not in any way interfere with or change tie hours Ol SGINlC0s Lne IdLeS OL pay or other working conditions. As adopted they are practically the same as on many eastern roads"
 Existing Rules Do Not Meet Demands.
 Continuing, the statement says that when the purposes of the new rules are understood by the men involved the management is satisfied that they will be accepted a s an honest effort on the part of the manag cement to bring about Improved conditions and that no controversy can exist between the men and the company where the question of safety only is involved"
 General Manager BardO, in making public a copy of the new rules tonight, made the following statement to the engineers! {
 T want to emphasize as strongly as I can that which I have repeatedly stated to your committees, that these rules are designed and submitted after a convincing demonstration that our existing rules do not meet the eXact- ing demands of the service and to comply with the recommendations of the interstate commerce commission and the public utilities commission of the state of Connecticut and are for the sole purpose of increasing the safety of our service and for the pro- tection of our patrons and employees. There is no desire on the part of the management to restrict the rights OF withdraw from service any man Wno is physically fit and by experience quah- fled for his position
 No Favoritisnn to Be Permitted.
 '"The obligation of the railroad Is plain. These rules will not interfere with the seniority of the men except where the question of fitness, ability

and previous service are involved, and since these requirements can be defi- n1tely fixed by the record and service of the men involved there is no oppor- tunity for faYoritism and none will be permitted"
 The particular changes in rules to which the brotherhood committee ob- 1ected were those relating to the seniority rule, the physical and visual tests and the methods of discipline. In an official statement issued by tha committee 1t is claimed that orders to make time." issued in 1911, and the oIsT,p oIssclpIlnary results which accompanied i failure to make times" have been largely responsible for conditions on the system in the past two years. and the additional claim was advanced that conditions developed by the order to make time" has "demoralized the force" The committee declared that a restoration of conditions to those which existed before the alleged

 Requirement as to Experience.
 One of the principal rules changed g1neerS must now have before being placed at the throttle of fast express es. The investigation of the Stamford wreck by the interstate commerce commission showed that while Engi- neer Doherty was, under the terms of the then existing agreement, entitled to run his engine he had had practi- cally no experience on fast trains. Nows acting upon the commission's g recommendations, engineers will have at least one years experience before being placed on passenger locomotives and two years experience before be- ing allowed on the fast trains.
 Assistant Chief Griffing Surprised.
 L. c. Grif1ng of Cleveland, O., as- sistant grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who is here to confer with the New Haven road officials concerning the controversy, said tonight that he was surprised at the Summary action" of the road in putting the rules into immediate effect. Up until the make time order went into affect a few years ago, he said, there had been no serious wrecks on tho road, and he thought if those rules worked so successfully for thirteen years they would operate we'll now.
 MT. Grifhng said the men would obey tho new rules. but in the meantime other conferences with the operating officials of the road would be request cd, He hoped the matter could b0 sat- isfaotorily adjusted.

The writ of habeas corpus ob- talned yesterday from Federal Judge AIdTfcb at Concord was not served on Sheriff Drew today, and the Thaw law yers said tonight that probably it would not be served until tomorrow after noon. On Tuesday morning ThaW will be taken before Judge AIdrich at Lit tlton, when arguments on the writ will
 No Airing for Harry.
 Thaw spent a quiet Sunday, his fifth away from MatteaWan. He did not even go out for a walk He desired to attend church, but the sheriff said he thought 1t best not to parade him on the quiet of the Sabbath.
 The corridors of the Monadnock house where ThaW is held, were crowded to- day with country folk wh0 hoped to get 8 good look at ThaW. Only those who were willing to pay for a meal and see Thaw at table had their curiosity satis- fled, however.
 To Ask for Continuance.
 Unless Jerome has some powder con- ceaIed somewhere, Thaw will be taken to Littleton early Tuesday morning.
 The habeas corpus argument is set for Il o'clock Tuesday morning. Thaw S IdNN6FS VIII ask TOT q COntInudnCe, thus leaving the writ hanging over the heads of thejr opponents, and then pro- ceedings will be transferred to Con- cord, the capital, for the hearing be- fore the governor,

ciRte at services in this city. an au- thor1tative statement issued today af- ter bis arrest from the head of the New York diocese characterized Schmidt as a '<wandeTer'' and not a priest of the diocese although he was assigned to assist the rectors of it's churches.
 After his arrest, and while he was en route to the I'ombs, Schmidt was questioned by the detectives, They asked him what he had done with the mattress and he told thems they said. Inspector Fsurot stopped the machine at the vacant lot and the charred rem- Dants of the mattress were secured.
 Then Schmidt was asked where he bought the knife and saw with which the body of Miss Aumuller was cut up. Schmidt indicated the windows of a shop es they passed 1t, The car was stopped and Schmidt pointed to a knife with 8 ten inch blade as prac- tically identical with the one he used, This shop is not far from the Tombs, Further up the street Schmidt. the po- lice say, pointed to two butchers saws in shop window.
 'T bought one of that kind" he said laconiCally.
 Educated in Catholic Seminary.
 Information regarding the early life of Anna Aumuller was given tonight by her cousin, Joseph Igler.s She was 20 years old, was born in Oedenburg, Hungary and lived there until she came to this country in 1911. Her father died when she was child, and she had been supported by an aunt who sent her to a Catholic seminary. The girl was bright and pretty and when she was graduated in her seven teenth year arrangements were made for her to receive a musical educa- tton. For some reason these arrange ments were abandoned, and it was decided she should come to the United States.
 Said Schmidt Was Kind to Her.
 Tgler said the girls aunt was re- ligiOusly inclined and through friends in the clergy arrangements were made to have Anna cared for when she ar rived here. During her infrequent calls at the home of IgIer while she was at the St. Boniface rectory she referred to Father Hans Schmidt She said he had fdequently been kind to her. She never gave IgIer the slight est hint that she had any other inter est in Schmidt than an admiration for his qualities as a priest
