 But, having gained this right, little use is made of it. Uncertain, coy and hard to please, women thought she wanted to be admitted to practice as lawyer in the courts and now, hav- ing obtaineda what she thought she wanted, she finds that she did not want it. It is now more than thirty years since Mrs. Lockwood was admit ted, and the right of women to prac- tice was established. but I have never yet seen a woman plead case of any kind in court, and I have never yet met with woman lawyer, except in a single instance, when young wom- an lawyer called upon me concerning the settlement of some unimportant litigation"

CHANGES IN LAWYERS
 RELATIONS TO CLIENTS

Forty years ago the lawyers office was guiltless of telephone, he had no tenographer at his side. he was his clients friend, and most likely, an orator The description of the changes that have come in these things and in the general relation of the lawyer to the community from an entertain ing part of Theron c. Strong's recent book. landmarks of a Lawyers Life time."
 ''The relation of the modern law yer to his client" he says, presents marked contrast to that of the law yer of other times. The old-time law yer occupied very important and dignified position. With the clergy man he was a man of intellectual cul- ture, and was treated by everybody with difference and respect. He was the leading parsonage in the com munity, and was called upon on all occasions where intellectual cultiva- tion was necessary in producing an appropriate oration or a written ad- dress or petition. "This relation between the lawyer and his client existed to great de- gree until the early days of my pro- fessional- life, but since then it has undergone a complete and marvellous change. The advent of the. Captains To industry. the ulti-millionaries, the mighty corporations, and the tremend- ou business enterprises, with all the pride of wealth and luxury which have followed in their train, have re- versed their relative positions. Now the lawyer no longer receives the de- ferential client, but when the finan- cial magnate wants to consult his law y he sends for him."
 So also has oratory almost ceased in the courts, "The man who can say the most and sound law in the shortest time has decided advantage. Juries are not much influenced by tribunals will not tolerate
 ,outbursts of eloquence and appellate tribunals will not tolerate them" Women were not admitted to the bar when MT. Strong began his career as a lawyer, and he witnessed Belya A. Lockwood's long fight to gain admis- sion for herself and others. which she fiuAlly won. But he notes a curious

the last two years he has grabbed off matches with the top-notchers, and in each and every one of these battles he has collected big purse.
 When Cross turned in his income tax blank some months ago he gave $2S,000 as the figures for his annual earnings during the year previous. Of course, few thousand of this was made through his side issue business of plugging teeth, but about $25,OOO came from plugging the other fel- lows.
 T guess I've got about $5OOOO laid aside now" said Cross some months ago. And you can take it from me that it's laid aside-those Wall street wolves won't get it. They don't play fair-they don't play mans game. They lure you into their net like a spider does a fly, and then they choke every dollar out of you."
 "A S0uare Deal' His Motto
 Sunny Jim" Coffroth, of San Fran cisco, who is making more money in promoting fights than any other man in the country, says the secret of suc- cess in the fight promotion business is to "give the public a square deal
 And out on the Coast that's exactly what Coffroth gives the fans. He doesn't boost his "bleacher" prices for the star bouts and thus freeze out the fellows who can afford only $1 or $2 Thos prices always remain the same, no matter what the attraction.
 "The $1 and $2 boys are the ones that help me make ends meet when I'm staging just an ordinary bout says Coffroth. "Those boys are my friends and you can bet on it that l have made it an ironclad rule never to increase the price of their seats Whether it's just an ordinary scrap or one in which the championship is at stake the prices are the same.
 Coffroth, although always a fight fan, never gave the promoting end of the game thought until back in 1900 Just about that time the Horton fight law was repealed in New York state and Jim Kennedy, a New York fight promoter, landed in Frisco lookine around for site for an arena. He sought out COffroth, who then was secretary to the Supreme court in that city.
 "The game ought to make money out here if I can get a permit" said Kennedy.
 "I'll get the permit if you'll take me into partnership with you" saiG Coffroth.
 You're on" answered Kennedy, and Coffroth has been ''on" every since.

New York, May 21.-Leach Cross, the pugilistic New York dentist, has performed very creditable "come- back" in a financial way ever since he was knocked down for the full count by Wall street three years ago

And then some friend" got an audience with Leach and told him how easy it would be for him to take that $30,000 down to Wall street, leave it finger there for few months, and then bring it back with anywhere from $100,OOO to $1,000,000 in addition.
 And, like a boob, went" avs Leach. "I stuck around Wall street for a few months while those fellows mcnkeyed with my money and when I decided it was time that got back my $30,00O and the profits. I was told that there wasn't any profits and that the $30.000 had evaporated.
 Gee, that was a wallop-the hard est ever got in my life. It took all the courage and ambition out of me for a time, and I didn't care what came or went. It seemed pretty tough to have bunch of crooks take away all the money you've spent many years in saving. And the worst of it. just at the time felt pretty poor phy- sically.

 ,GUATAMALA REDS Weird Story Tells Of 100 Indians and 67 Blacks
 Being Slain
WOMAN STARTS TROUB
According to Report War Begins When Negro Wins Indian Girl In "Craps" Game and Re.
 fuses to Sell Her Back

New Orleans, May 20.-The United Fruit company today was using it's wireless in an effort to confirm a strange story of race riot reported by mail to have occurred on one of it's plantations in Guatemala, in which it is reported sixty-four negroes and probably 100 Indians were killed.
 Smouldering race hatred of the na- tive Indians for negroes, inflamed by one of the negroes, an American, Win ming the Indian girl Mazda from her father in a game at dice and his re- fusal to sell her back to a native, is reported to be the cause of the trou- ble.
 The negro, Clarence Williams, had been working on the Teuahana farm, one of long string of plantations the United Fruit company operates in the Montague river district. He had in cured the hatred of many of the 1n- dians because of his powers with dice. In a game recently in which was Nazada's father, he won all the peon's money, and then in true Guate- malan, fashion, the old man wagered his daughter. He lost. As is custo- mary among these India>s, the girl did not object to her part of the transaction, and was taken to the shanty of the American negro.
 Alleged Story of War.
 As the story goes, Christofo Zurello a half-breed boss of a neighboring farm, had wanted Mazda to wed his son, and was incensed when he learn ed that she had become the property of the negro. According to Guatemal- an Indian custom, the father of the girl was eliminated from the matter by his unlucky cast of the dice, so Nurello entered into negotiations with the negro. He offered him 30 pesos for the girl. The negro refused.
 Soon after Williams left for his work. Saturday. May g, three men ap- peared at the shanty. It is said they were Zurello, peon named Pedro and a half-breed. Williams had oc- casion to go to the shanty few hours later. Tied to nearby tree was his Indian girl, horribly mutilated with knives. Just before she die dshe told him who had committed the crime. Arm1nS nlmSelI, WlllIdIlS De6dA O search for Zurello, found him and shot him to death. Then he killed Pedro and later the same day the half breed. bs
 Fight All Night
 All during the night there was fighting between the negroes and the Indians, all of whom, it seemed, had aligned themselves with other mem bers of their race.
 Religious services were held in a little church as usual the next morn ing. When the Indians came from the church the negroes were enmass- ed nearby and opened fire on them. In this fight Williams and twelve of his followers were killed. Many Indians were slain. Fighting was kept up for some days, according to the story reaching here, the bodies of sixty-four negroes were found. Just how many Indians were killed, probably never will be known, as they hid their dead as quickly as possibly.

UNSCRAMBLlNG THE NEW
HAVEN

The New Haven's chief offenses
ainst the federal antitrust law were
tae suppression of competition III
/, Ter transportation between New
I gland and New York and the ac-
sition of trolley lines throughout
d. territory.
The absorption of the Boston d
Maine is more lightly to be regarded.
1t might be difficult to prove that that
system is parallel and competing to
the New Haven 1t would be easier
to prove that it picks up the New
Haven's lines at several points where
they end in Massachusetts and car
ries them along in the same general
northeasterly direction, as the Lake
Shore picks up the New York Central
at Buffalo and carries At on to Chi
cago.
We have doubted whether the con
ditions imposed upon the sale OF the
New Haven's Boston & Maine stoch
by the Massachusetts legislature have
been the real stumbling block in the
negotiations with Attorney Genera
McReynolds. The recent conference
at Washington now proves that they
have not been. and that all the tall
of their making the stock unsaleabl'
has been a bluff. These condition.
nave been used in an attempt to bu!
off a criminal prosecution of respon
sible directors, and will doubtless b.
used later as an excuse for reopenins
the question of illegality in the Bos
ton & Maine purchase.
The attempt to avert a crimina
prosecution has failed. If the director
prepared to go ahead in good faith
and unscramble their monopoly
through ownership of trolley anC
steamship lines they can force the
government to confine its dissolution
suit to the Boston & Maine matter
alone, and reduce it to an area of lit
tie or no disturbance either to the
business of New England or the lie
gitimate interests of the New Haven
company.
lnsistence upon immediate steps oi
dissolution where the monopoly is
clearly unlawful and criminal pro
ceedings against the men directly re
sponsible therefor, are the main
things. The government could then
afford to wait awhile in the Boston
& Maine case
