CARD DOTS CONVINCE HIM.

Noted Harvard Psychologist Advances
an Entirely New and Original Thesis
on the Limitations Of the Fair Sex.
Women Not Fit For jury Duty, Psy-
ehology Wizard Asserts.
Women everywhere are up in arms
over the announcement Of Professor
Hugo Munsterberg, head of the psy-
chology research department at Har-
ward university that a series of psy-
Geological experiments convinces him
that women are not fitted for jury duty.
The professor has advanced an en-
tirely new and original thesis, "The
Mental Stubbornness of Women" stat
ing that his experiments show that
women are unwilling to listen to argu-
ment and cannot be brought to change
their opinions on any subject.
Describes His Experiments.
Describing series of experiments
with psychology classes in an article
in the September Century, the psy-
chology wizard says:
ut is evident that this tendency Of
the female mind may be advantageous
for many social purposes. The woman
remains loyal to her instructive opin-
ion. Hence we have no right to say
that one type of mind is better than
another. We may say only they differ
and that this difference makes men fit
and women unfit for the task which
society requires for jurymen."
The experiment is described as fol
lows: Cardboards on which were GER
tain number of black dots were held
>before a class of men, and they were
nsked to estimate the number of the
dots.
Men Profited by Debate.
After FIVE minutes of debate and ar
Rument the men again estimated the
number. A second debate was held
and again guess made.
or the men fifty-two voted right the
first time, and seventy-eight were cor
rect on the final vote, showing they
had proflted by debate.
When the experiment was tried out
On q class of women forty-five voted
right on the first vote, and after two
ave minute periods of discussion the
correct answers still numbered forty
tve, from which the psychology wiz.
ard concludes "the women had not
learned anything from discussion" and
''are apt TO return to their first idea
however much is argued on the other
side"

Newspaper Correspondents.
Sherbrooke Que, Sept. 8. - Magis-
trate Mulvena of the superior court
consented to go to Coaticook to hear
the complaint against William Trav.
ers Jerome late this afternoon. Mag
lstrate Mulvena was asked to hear the
case in place of Justice Mckee on the
plea of Mr.. Nicola that a local justice
could not judge the charge impartial.
ly. jerome will contend that he did
not commit an offense by playing
poker for money on public grounds.
Jerome journeyed to Montreal to
persuade, if possible, the immigration
authorities to disregard the writ of
habeas corpus issued by the court of
kings bench and deport Thaw to Yer
mont Immediately, in accordance with
the finding of the board of inquiry
which sat on that case. His mission
in that direction was a failure, the
immigration people deciding that they
did not care whether Thaw is in Can.
ada another two weeks or not.
In this connection it was learned
from the immigration officers here
that they are afraid to send Thaw to
Montreal at this time. One of the
men said that there would be riot
of people at the station to demon
strate in the prisoners favor. I'VE
shall wait" said Inspector Williams,
until some of the excitement has
died down, and then put him on a
train without previous announce
ment."
A condition bordering on mob rule
exists in Coaticook. Crowds of Thaw
sympathizers are outside his barred
windows waiting for glance of the
man. Thaw showed himself only a
made to get him to speak again, he
declined.
A self-appointed committee of Coati-
cooks people kept watch Of the news
paper correspondents. Everything
that has been sent out of the local
telegraph Office has been known to
the people 10 minutes later. There
have been threats to run the reporters
out of town, and in various small
ways attempts have been made to
censor the news by coercion.
Reports Of threats to shoot Jerome
IL he returns to Coaticook are numer-
GUS.
The immigration officers here we're
responsible for the statement that
agents have been sent from the office
of Sir Lomer Gouin to investigate the
charges made by Jerome that there
has been crook in Coaticook from
Montreal distributing money to TO-
ment feeling against the New York
officers"
