of Woman During Quarrel,
Is on Trial for Assault

John B. Coffey. OF Is John street. lie

day on charge OF assault and bat
terry growing out of g fight In a down.
town restaurant on September % last.
Coffey is alleged to have slapped a
woman named Martha Schilk follow
ing quarrel in the restaurant, in
which Coffey, Miss Schilk, her sister
and a man named Mattress took part.
At the time of the arrest Coffey
claimed that the Schilk woman was
his wife and that ''he had q right to
slap her face" Today on the witness
stand he admitted the woman was not
his wife.
At the time Of the fracas Coffey was
out on $4,000 bail on a more serious
charge, one of assault and battery
with intent to kill. The latter charge
dates back to the early morning of
May 80 last. On that day Coffey ad-
mits having shot Ernest Packwood,
10. Warren street, In a street fight
on Plane street. Coffey claims he
was wa king along the street when
Packwood and two friends assaulted
him. To protect himself Coffey drew
a revolver and fired. the bullet taking
effect In Packwood's left chest.
It was at first thought the wound
was fatal one, but Packwood recov-
cred and Coffey has teen out on bail
awaiting trial ever since.

TAFT DENOUNCES
EXPLOITATION OF I
SOCIAL PROBLEMS
In Address, ex=President SAYS
Vice Made Too Familiar
Is Embraced.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan 2z-WfIl-
lam Howard Taft. ex-Pres'dent and
now professor in Yale University. il
an address delivered last night to tho
graduating class Of the Peirce School.
scat hingly denounCed the exploi1as
ton Of vice ana sexual questions,
Seldom has MIR. Taft even in tho
heat Of national political contest,
spoken more vigorous as he dis
eussed what he termed excesses. even
hysterfa, In the body social.
Professor Taft's denunciation Of tho
Haunting of vice and sexual prob
lens conprehended the whole range
OF its manifestations. in books, plays,
moving pictures and lectures. He
said the purpose Of all this was sor-
did gain, and the excuse that II Was
educational was specious. that Ia
teachers could give all the education
IN that connection that was needed,
and. finally, that vice made too "a
millar was embraced.
Mr.. Taft denounced the democrati0
idea in education, instancing thu
Strike" Of school children as q re-
suit. He was also severe upon the
spread OF lubricity' IN literature ana
on the stage. an evil which he ais0
finds in the teaching Of sex hygierfe Il,
the schools. On this point he said
Education in sex hygiene is full.oe
danger IL carried on in general pubic
schools. The sharp. pointed and SUM
mary advice of mothers to daughters,
Of fathers to sons, OF a medical pro-
lessor to students IN a college. upon
such subject is. Of course, wise. but
any benefit that may be derived from
frightening students by dwelling upon
the details of the dreadful punishment
of vice is too often offset by awaken
ing curiosity and interest that might
not be developed SO early. and isatoo
likely to set the thoughts OF those
whose benefit is at stake In ditec-
ton that will neither elevate their
conversation with their fellows nor
make more clean their mental habits.
They will learn all that Is wise for
them to learn through the natural
communications OF their parents and
their family medical advisers. l deny
that the so-called prudishness and the
avoidance of nasty subjects in the iasf
generation has ever blinded any Sub
stantial number OF girls or boys to the
wickedness Of vice. or made them
easier victims of temptation. 1t had
generally been possible for them to
recognize sin and to know that they
ought TO avoid II without leading
them into an atmosphere which they
can hardly breathe without polT1ted
suggestion
The drama and motion pictures de-
signed 10 prevent vice by teaching in
consequences we're raped by Mr..
Taft. He declared that by dwelling
upon the details OF vice and crime
sexual subjects are obtruded into DIS
cussions, with the result that modesty
is after q time abandoned.
