THE MODERN WOMAN.
XXX-WOMEN IN SCIENCE.


The time within which it has been easy
for women to secure advanced scientific
education is comparatively short, but the
work they have accomplished already has
been of practical value to the world. As
vet few have attempted solitary research.
but their efforts have given assistance to
men who have had long experience. and.
therefore. a greater amount of self-con-
fidence Nine. Marie Curie, the celebrat-
ed discove-er of radium, possessed the
ability to lead the world in scientific re-
search, although this ability doubtless
would have remained dormant had not
her sympathies with her husband led her
to devote her own energies to work for
which. ii. developed. she was even better
qualified than he. Nine. Curie has been
refused admittance to the French Acad-
envy of .Immortals' because of her sex,
but her scientific ability was so well rec
osnized that the University of Paris is
glad to give its students the advantage of
her wisdom, sO she holds the chair of
professor of physics and has received
every honor the scientists o. tie world
can bestow upon her As a young Polish
girl Nine. Curies educational OppOrtuni-
ties We're limited. but her discovery las
paved the way for the later woman sci
enlist TO achieve more LIBERAL recoSni-
ton.
Before the days of Nine. Curie an
American woman had won greater honor
in astronomical science than any other
woman in the world. Maria Mitchell.
the first professor of astronomy in Vas
sar College. had little but an undaunted
VIII TO help her in making her studies of
the skies. Miss Mitchell discovered a
new comet and by so doing won the gold
medal offered by the King Of Denmark
for the discovery of new telescope
comet. This discovery was made while
she was eking out her living by acting
as librarian in the Pawtucket Library at
the salary of $1UO a year. But the posi-
ton gave her time and opportunity to
study. and this made possible ner great
er work Miss Mitchell visited Europe
and received the homage of all the dis
tinguished scientists of the day. Since
her death many woman astronomers
have exhibited unusual skill in computa
ton and are filling positions In scientific
Institutions. but yet no one has won
from her the credit for original discov
cry.

TRY CASES ON
THEIR MERITS
New York Court Takes I'm
portant Step in Garment
Strike Actions.

New York. Feb. 1s.-By refusing
to grant temporary injunctions on the
complaints of employers against the
striking garment workers. and an
nouncing that he would only grant
permanent restraining. orders after a
heariag. J1dse A4snirtck of the state
supreme court took an important
stand with reference to the strike
which began January l. This action
of the court is almost unprecedented
in legal procedure.
Judge Hendricks announcement
followed conference with the JUS
tees Of the appellate division. In it
he said:
Try Cases ON Their Merits.
II have decided to try these cases
on their merits beginning next Mon-
day. and the appellate division has
authorized ME to sit here for three
months If necessary to take the testi-
mony. 1 shall not grant injunctions
until have gone thoroughly into the
merits of the cases. I mean to get
down to the causes of this strike and
clear the atmosphere if possible
The announcement was made when
six employers filed complaints pray
ing for temporary injunctions against
strikers. Much criticism Of the in
junction power of courts has been
made in speeches of the strike leaders
and the action of Judge Hendrick is
taken as indicating that the supreme
court of New York county desires to
refrain from exercising this power
unless the merits of the case show
for tho proper protection of the man.

CHAS. BECKER MAY
turn ON SYSTEM
Condemned Police Lieuten-
ant Reported Ready to
Tell all He Knows.

New York, Feb. 1s.-Intimations
are said to have reached District At.
torney Whitman that Lieutenant Chas
Becker, convicted of the murder OF
Herman Rosenthal. may tell what he
knows about the system" 1t is un-
derstood that Becker has conceived
the idea that the men he shielded
moral obligation under which the con-
demned lieutenant believes they
should consider themselves.
Rumors have reached Mr.. Whitman
in the last few days to the effect that
n large part Of the fortune deposited
by Becker In number of savings
banks during the nine months prior
to the shooting Of Rosenthal consisted
of collections that had not been d.
vidcd with the men higher up." Beck
er is said to have announced that he
was willing to be a martyr for the
System" in refusing to take the wit
ness stand in his own behalf, thereby
protecting the members Of that ques-
tionable brotherhood, but he expect.
ed the men hiding behind his silence
to pay the expenses Of his trial and an
are said to have been misplaced. He
was forced to defray the cost of coun-
sci and all other Incidental expendit-
ures out Of his own funds.
Turns on Former Friends.
Now, 1t Is alleged in certain circles
some of the men higher up have en-
deayored to claim their share of Beck
er's undivided collections of graft
money. Whether there is any real
foundation for the reports is not
known. but word said to have been
brought to District Attorney Whit
man that the attitude Of the police
officials Becker shielded is far from
pleasing to the condemned man.
It is even hinted that an application
for executive clemency may be made
to Governor Sulzer. who is on record
AS favoring the abolition Of the death
penalty. Should Becker's sentence to
the death chair be commuted It Ia
thought possible that he may let loose
blast against the system" that
would make the confessions Of Patrol-
man Eugene r. Fox and Captain
Thomas w. Walsh appear insignificant
by comparison.
For some time Mr.. Whitman has
been investigating the disposition Of
the suddenly acquired wealth Of Lieu
tenant Becker, according to report.
The prosecutors object is described an
being to determine II q division Of
spoiis occurred and who shared In It,
Mrs. Becker is now endeavoring to
raise by mortgage between $4,000 and
$4,000 on the Becker home IN tho
Bronx. District Attorney Whitman
is convinced that the Seo, 600 or more
which the lieutenant had In bank lust
prior to his arrest was not entirely
dissipated In trial expenses.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-A letter from
Colonel Roosevelt favoring a policy OF
| cooperation between the military and
naval authorities and the press was
read in an address before the naval
war college extension tody by J. Callan
O'Laughlin on the relation of the
! navy and the press before and during
war;
Colonel Roosevelt took the view
that newspaper correspondents at the
front could not only perform a large
public service. but that by proper CO.
operation between them and military
and naval commanders the service
would be to the advantage of the mil
itary establishment as we'll. MIR.
O'Laughlin read other letters from
editors and war correspondents on the
advantages OF such cooperation.
He suggested that the present Mexi-

time for Il conference between military
and naval men and representative edi-
tors from various parts of the country
to determine OH Il general policy of
