SUFFRAGE TO BRING
EQUALIZED MORALS
So Lecturer Tells Notable Audience
at Sunday Tea" Of New York
Women Workers.

New York, Feb. 4-At the Sunday
tea OF the Woman's Political Union. 4
East Fortieth street. Mrs. Lionel Marks,
author OF Piper addressed an audience
distinguished that has ever attended one
o. the Sunday afternoon teas. Mrs.
John Jacob Astor was present with her
mother, Mrs Force, and her sister, Miss
Katherine Force. This is Mrs. Astor's s
first appearance in public since the death
Of her husband, Col. Astor, who was
lost in the Titanic disaster.
The tea was managed by Mrs. Calvin
Tompkins, and ii. fell to the lot of Mrs.
John s. Rogers to introduce the speaker
OF the afternoon. Mrs. Marks claimed
II her privilege, as the privilege of all
preachers, to preach from any text, and
to speak largely OF things about which
neither her audience nor herself under
stood. She exercised that privilege-so
far as her audience was concerned-in
certain parts Of her address. But there
was much of 1t which contained noble
thoughts, nobly expressed. and all was
delivered in that gentle voice and pleas
antiy tolerant manner which is not
always the herit- ge of the new
woman"
The Vision of the New Woman" as
Mrs. Marks saw her, was a glorified
edition of the "old woman" plus the
right to hurl her vote against the pres
ent existing evils. Hers is the theory
that on the heels of equal suffrage fol-
lows an equalization of the moral stand
ards between the sexes, a theory in itself
not new. but presented In a guise more
mild than that which 10 usually accord
ed IL.
After the speeches the meeting broke
up, as Shakespeare has It, ''in most ad-
mirable disorder'-which is the equiva-
lent Of saying that socially the affair was
pronounced success-despite the panic
stricken endesvor of one young reporter
10 stir his tea with a pencil!
Among the many prominent guests were
Mrs. II. o. Havemeyer, Mrs. Farrar,
mother Of Miss Geraldine Farrar; Mrs.
Elder. Mrs. George c. Riggs QSate Doug
las Wlggin), Mrs Joseph Holland Hunt,
and Mrs. Tully Marshall.

SUGGESTIONS MADE
TO AID WORKINGMEN
Louis D. Brandeis. Before U. S. Com
mission. Advocates Punishment for
EMPLOYERS Who Law Of" Men.

Suggestions for ending irregularity Of
employment, urged on the commission
by Louis ID. Brandeis, Boston attorney
and economist, were made public yester-
day by the United States Industrial Re-
lations Commission.
The promise of a Detroit automobile
manufacturer that hereafter he will have
his slack season fall in the summer. when
farm laborers are needed. was cited as an
example of what might be done. By CO.
operation between employers and en-
ployes for the elimination OF waste. Mr..
Brandeis declared. he believed a fund for
unemployment benefits could be created.
Mr. Brandeis' most striking statement
was that employers who needlessly work
their men only part time should be penal
lied the same as for working their men
overtime.
Friendly relations between employers
and employees, necessary to his plan, can
be brought about, Mr.. Brandeis believes.
through the operation of trade agree
ments like the protocol in the New York
garment trades.
Arguing for scientific management as a
part of his plan to end irregularity. Mr..
Brandeis said the employees must be rep
resented by unions and have a voice in
fixing conditions. He deplored the op-
position of some branches of organized
labor TO scientific management and said
it was partly because certain prominent
advocates of the new efficiency methods
are opposed to labor organizations.
Urging the need of the labor union when
scientific management is introduced, Mr.
Brandeis said:
Even where the employer is humane.
intelligent and benevolent, it is not proper
that the settlement of the rights of his
employees should rest wholly upon his
will"

RICH MEN HER PREY.
Addie Jewell said to Have Obtained
FrauduIentIy $4,000.

New York, Feb. e-Defrauding rich
bachelors and widowers out Of over So
600. through fake advertisements. Is the
charge made by Federal authorities
against Addie Jewell, whom they term
the second Sophie Lyons.
Miss Jewell, known under seven aliases,
today was indicted by the Federal grand
jury charged with using the mails to de-
fraud. The Federal inspectors have been
on her trail for fifteen years and each
time when they were ready to nab her
she eluded them until today.
The advertisement which she inserted
in many newspapers through the coun-
try, read:
"A Protestant widow with little girl
would give services for pleasant, COM
Portable home for herself and child for
winter. Good housekeeper; would prefer
country. Mrs. Gertrude Morgan"
Under the guise Of kindly housekeep-
er the Jewell woman found II easy to
get into the good graces OF the rich men
for whom she cast her net. say the Fed
eral officials.
Once in her grasp she led them on with
promises of marriage.

LIGHT ON CEMETERY MURDER,
Evidence Found 10 Hold ALLEGED
Slayer of Girl,

Aurora, Ill, Feb. 2L-wheh he was
about to give up hope of getting evil
dence to hold Anthony Petras as the
murderer of Misc Teresa Holiander
Chief Of Police Frank Michels announced
today that he had found FIVE witnesses
whose testimony had given added rea-
sons for holding the Austrian suspect.
Since the girl was found in st. Nicholas
Cemetery, more than a week ago, Petras
has maintained a stolid calm and refused
to make any statement giving himself
the rernotest connection with the crime.

desires to put $4,000 or 100000 into .
new factory. Win he issue stocks or
bonds. or make any permanent borrow
ing for this? Certainly not. He notifies
his bank he will want $4,000 or more
money covering certain months The
banks response is, OF course. that he
can have all the money he wants and
give any kind OF note on time or de-
mand. His cash balance is worthy OF
this credit. His borrowing is, therefore.
not necessary commercial borrowing, but
the commercial borrowing is forced by
his construction.
Loans I'm All Banks.
The State banks and trust companies
carry far less commercial paper than the
national banks. On page 81 Of the re-
port OF the Comptroller Of the Currency
will be found a record Of not only the
7f73 national banks, but Of 1s,5e0 state
banks, trust companies, private bankers
and savings banks In respect to the char
acter of their loans Out OF total OF
sli, 500 0oo. 900 loans based largely on de-
mand deposits. S,5oo.oOo,ooo are secured by
real estate and mortgages, and $780,
100000 by other collaterai-ss, ,ooo, 100000 on
fixed forms Of property. The other
loens'' are Sc, 10000. including, of
course, the so-caf1ed S3.6o0. 10000 COM
mercial loans in the national banks as
noted above or these. the real COM
mercial loans are somewhere between
Sc 00o. coo and Sc, 100 0oo,0oo. Private esti-
mates OF bankers with far better knowl-
edge of the real s!tuation than Is pos
sessed by the government officials vary
all the way between these two figures.
We have for some time estimated that
the real commercial loans for the transac-
tions OF commerce in this country do not
exceed five billions and that between nine
and ten billions of bank loans are on
fixed forms of property.

Volume of Paper that Can Be
Employed in Trade Found
to Be Limited.
AMOUNTS ARE QUOTED
Nearly Two-thirds of Loans Represent
Constructive Industry. the Remainder
Commercial Transactions.

: The cry that has gone up from Con-
gress has been, 'Unshackle business"
away with stocks and bonds and Wall
! Street" GIVE hogs and hens, beef on
. hoof. cotton in bales, and wheat in
3 barn, the right of way to market" We
will build q bank act that will give
commerce right of way to bring raw
products from farm to factory and
/. family
: Let us see where commerce stands
in relation to raw products from farm
10 factory or family.
The cotton crop OF the United states
/, is estimated at a value of S975. 1000, ,00e.
Summon all of the money OF the world
to assist in its financing to market, and
you could not employ S2oo,ooo.000 in
sixty or ninety-day bills, for the cot
ton grower has now some money him
self. The wheat crop requires less
money. The corn crop and the grass
crops, although worth more, also take
less money, as they move largely in
pork and beef. No great amount Of
money in credit form of commercial
paper is required to move iron or coal.
The Reading Railroad and the Steel
Corporation are not makers OF COM
mercial paper. The real financial re-
.ouirements Of commerce are largely
away from the farm and after raw ma
terials have been multiplied in value by
added labor.
Amount of Commercial Paper.
The Washington authorities have been
trying to get some estimates Of the
amount of commercial paper In the
banks For the purpose OF these articles
leading bankers of the country have
been canvassed for estimates that would
be valuable in revision OF the govern
ment tables.
The Comptroller of the Currency in his
annual report issued in December pre-
sents a table on page five showing that
on June 4. 1913. of the $6l43. 100000 loans
lin the national banks 50 per cent, or
s, ,o52 OOO. .0O0 were time paper with two or
more Individual or firm names. Single
name time paper without other security
was % per cent, or SI.26l. .o0o.OOc. There
were demand loans OF $6Oc. 900, with
one or more individual names. There
were time and demand loans on stocks
and bonds, or mortgages, or other real
estate security amounting to $2,245, ,00o,-
600, or IS per cent. II the demand loans
are divided as between commercial and
collateral loans. the commercial loans
would stand at IS per cent, or s. 800, ,0O00, ,o00
The best estimates that we can get
privately of bankers is that the real COM
mercial loans in the national banks do
not exceed 500, 100000, or one-half of
the loan account
While the paper appears in the form Of
commercial loans, considerable part is
for fixed forms of property and for as
distinctively industrial construction ex-
psnsion as are stock and bonds. And
why should it not be?
A merchant with sufficient capital to
dc his own banking may have several
hundred thousand dollars cash in the
bank, owe no money and have S.OooooO
in accounts on his books. or notes in
his box representing commercial loans
due him. His business expands and he

CHRISTMAS MAIL.

Postmaster General Burleson, is ap-
pealing to the public to aid the de
partment in handling the increased
quantity of parcel post mail during
the holiday period. The public, by
following the instructions, will great
ly assist in handling the packages and
likewise increase their delivery at the
destination. The following are the in
structions:
"The establishment Of the parcel
post has given a wonderful impetus to
the use of the mails as a means of dis
tributing Christmas gifts, and in view
of the increased weight limit, reduced
postage rates and other extensions of
the service during the past year, it is
anticipated that the amount of mail
during the approaching holiday season
will exceed all previous records. In
order that the Christmas mail may be
handled promptly and satisfactory, it
is essential that the public cooperate
with the postal service to the fullest
extent PoStmasters are requested,
therefore, to make special efforts to
impress this fact upon their patrons,
and in this connection should empha-
size the importance of the careful OBJ
