the fire masters bought this engine
without any authority from council and
without having any funds available,
which was illegal. He recited that
Chief Cummings had bought practical
ly all hose for the fire department dur
ing his administration of six years
from the Eureka Company, and that
the vouchers showed no 10 per cent
discount. while the hose bought by JOY
ner during his administration from the
Fabric Company practically all show
ed 10 per cent discounts for the city
The mayor showed that the fire chiefs
of the various cities were closely afil-
lated and that p. o. Hebert. the agent
of the Eureka Company, and the man
who sold the board the LaFrance en-
CINE, was very fl. ndly with all of
them. He has further proof that He
bert represented the Fabric Company
during the time that Joyner was buying
practically all the city hose from them.
Chief Cummings complained that
Mayor Woodward was unfair to him,
and that he took the statements of
"hoodlums" in preference to honest
men.
He said a conspiracy by statesmen
had been Matched up to ruin him.
"Ex Chief W. r, Joyner is working
for the state as fire marshal, but he is
going about the country trying to sell
Webb engines and Fabric hose. His
son, Little Cap is salesman for the
Fabric Fire Hose Company" he said.
Break Witnesses Down.
I'VE are going to break down the
character of these witnesses. They
have gotten themselves into an unex-
pected mess. Mayor Woodward could
reveal all of these crooks who are mis-
representing the fire department If he
would"
Mayor Woodward declared to-day
that he did not care anything about
Bill" Cummings or any one else.
Il am looking out for the interest
Of the city" he said. This depart
ment has not been following the law IN
making purchases. The spirit of the
investigating committee doesn't seem
aggressive enough to get to the bottom
OF this alGdlf.
Members of the fire board recalled
to-day how ]. ]. Rafter, local repre-
sentative of the Fabric Hose Company
repudiated alleged statements he made
to Mayor Woodward personally when
sworn and put on the stand. Their
sympathies are with Chief Cummings.
Davidson has proved himself a liar
said Alderman A. II. VanDyke. Il was
a member of the fire board and he did
not offer any ten per cent discount on
the automobile engine. It is a ques-
ton of veracity between him and
CORTLAND VIM, and l would believe
any statement that CORTLAND VIM
would make"
Councilman Jesse Wood and ex-Al-
derman A. ]. Johnson, former men,
bers of the fire board, swore on the
stand that no proposition of ten per
cent discount on the Webb engine was
made to the board.
Chairman J. II. Harwell. Of the in
vestigating committee, announced to-
day that his committee would go 20

WHY WOMEN DO NOT
SLUMBER IN CHURCH
German savant Says 1t Is
Harder For Females to
Grasp Sermon.

LII you have ever taken much notice
In church OF those of the congregation
who nod drowsily or even go to sleep,
you will have found that it is the men
who do this and not the women. 1t is
doubtful If one woman to 1000 men
goes to sleep in church, and people have
held an entirely wrong impression of
this.
1t has been said that the men are a
bit more stupid, that they do not pay
enough attention to the rmo or do
not comprehend 1t sufficiently to retain
their interest and hence get sleepy. 1t
has also been said that women are
brighter, quicker to understand and
have more self control and so do not
lose interest and close their eyes in
umbe while the minister is preach
ing.
But all this is quite wrong. A Ger
man professor has been making a study
of this and he declares that men fall
asleep in church because they do pay
more attention to the sermon than do
the women. Further. he declares, the
average woman does not begin to grasp
the purport of the that she is
far slower of understanding than man.
The man will watch the minister ev-
cry minute. he will n all
his mind upon the preacher. and what
he is saying, he Will watch his every
gesture and every motion OF his lips
and listen to every word until finally he
drops off to sleep simply because he
had watched so steadily. gazed so in
tently that he has actually hypnotized
himself.
If n woman Ices not grasp the
meaning of the sermon SO readily, II
Fer mentality is not quite so keen and
quick. n would think she would fall
asleep. But the fact remains that she
has plenty to interest her. A manican-
not look o the church and be inter-
ested in John Jones' cravat or William
Smiths vest. or Sam Whites cuff but
tons. He doesn't care anything about
them. but a woman will sit quietly in
church, she will hear what the minis
ter is saying without giving much
thought to it. but she will be interested
IN everything every other woman is
wearing. from the feathers and ribbons
and buckles n flowers of their hats
to their dresses and laces and jeWelry
and furs and wraps or laces frills,
and there is enough to keep her just
moderately entertained and wide
awake.
And so, according to this German
professor. the wife should not blame
her husband for being dull and stupid
and falling asleep; she should know it
was because he was listening too in
tently to the sermon and thinking too
deeply on 1T until he fairly worked him
self into what appeared a sleep but was
IN reality a sort of hypnotic daze.

Jury Batting.
From collier,s Weekly.

cTOM OOillcI y weekly.
Jury service, at best, is a distasteful. II
essential, civic duty. Hence it behooves
the officers of justice to see that it is
made as little irksome as possible. An Of
Acial whose practice does not comport
with this view Is Federal Judge George
w. Ray, of the northern district OF New
York, recently cited before the grievance
committee of the New York state bar on
charges preferred by the Cayuga County
association. specifying. among other
things. ~browbeating and abuse Of juries.
It is perhaps Significant hat Judge Ray
is himself. both by public record n In
other respects, unfit to hold judicial office.
Tho present charges, however, do not go
into this phase, but cite instances in which
the accused has been guilty of jury bait
ing. In a trial in Auburn there was a
disagreement of the jury, a majority vot-
ing for acquittal. Although the men con-
stituting this majority were reputable citi-
zens of good. character, Ray, from the
bench, denounced them as being unfi for
Jury duty and ordered their names strick-
en- from the list. This in the face of the
fact that a second defendant was about to
be tried on the same evidence. The second
jury convicted. What else could we do?
You know what the other jury got" said
one Of the jurors. In another case Judge
Ray bitterly attacked an individual juror
Tor a perfectly innocent and pen remark,
saying to him: You ought, not to show
your face in a court of justice again"

II these men, thoroughly Amer!canized

such be their desire.
In America. far more than in England
today or in the England of Shakespeare's
time, there Is very little, In q name. A
man Is judged by his by his
money, which is likely to be much the
same thing. There is no discrimination
against a Vanderbilt because his name is
Dutch. against a Ryan because his name
is Irish, against a Morgan because his
name is Welsh. These names are fully
as fraught with magic as Endicott or
Eliot. And If one of them had. by some
chance whim. adopted Endicott as a SUBJ
stitute for his family name, he would
have been gleefully claimed by Beacon
Hill, and a pedigree would have been pro-
duced TO prove the legitimacy of his title.
The chief objection to- the taking OF
American names by foreigners seems to
come from the fact that the men who as

1t is a puerile objection. and distinctly

PRESIDENT HESITATES
ON LABOR PROVISION
Sundry Civil Bill Is Being Held Up,
Pending Closing of the
Omen Mind.

II has become apparent to close OBJ
servers here in the past week that Presi-
dent Wilson is having great difficulty in
making up his mind as to the attitude
to be adopted by him with respect to the
exemption provision of the sundry civil
appropriation bill now in conference be-
tween the two Houses of Congress.
The exemption provision, which was
approved by both Houses and which will
certainly become law unless the Presl-
dent decides to veto the entire measure.
forbids any part Of an appropriation for
the prosecution Of monopolies in violation
of the antitrust law being used against
labor unions or farmers organizations.
DESPITE the fact that President TAFT
objected tc this feature of the Lill so
strenuously that he vetoed it on the
morning of March I. President Wilson
did not go on record as opposed to II
when he was consulted BY the party lead
ers soon after the assembling of the
special session of Congress. 1t was gen.
eraIly assumed as result of the action
of the House leaders in reattaching the
exemption feature to the bill that Presi-
cent Wilson had been won over to the
" ishes of those who fIvored ii.
Recently. however, there have been evil
dences that the President is undecided
as the time approaches for him to an
n0unce a definite policy toward the sN-
emption. The conference committee, al
though the two Houses were at odds on
only minor provisions of the bill, have
passed nearly two weeks without report
ing the measure back to the House and
Senate. 1t has been an open secret at
the Capitol that the committee has de-
layed this report not out Of any difficulty
in reaching an agreement, but in defer
ence to the wish of the President that
he be given more time in which TO make
up his mind as 10 the exemption.
