TO HIGHER COURT. Marceline Avis Bound Over for Trial for Assault With Intent to Kill,

Judge T. J. Kelly presided at the session of the city court on Wednes- day and found probably cause to hold Marceline Avis. who is accused of an attempt to kill Arba Simons, for high CT court under bonds of s1,000. The accused pleaded not guilty.
 Dr. Callahan was called to testify and he told of the treatment he rem dered Simons when he was brought to the station house Monday evening and of sending him to the hospital.
 The woman involved in the case, Mrs Pauline Bertrice, said that she is married and has two children and that her husband is in California She tes- ttf1ed that Simon had been waiting on her and that while she was calling on Thames street he came into the house and tore her hat from her head and slapped her; later he called at an- other house where she was and became angry when she refused to see him. She was called out later by the ac- cused, Avis, and walked up Thames street with the two men, and a dis pute arose as to who should accom- pany her home. The dispute ended In a fight. While this was going on she ran away. Just before the fight the accused, she claims, broke a bottle and that he displayed a knife before the fight
 Bernard Gonsalves was the next wit ness called and he claimed that he saw the fight and that Simon was knocked down and cut his head. Gonsalyes states that he did not see any knife
 Simons appeared in court and could not tell whether Avis cut his head but he remembered that he received a black eye.
 The man lost a quart of blood and does not feel mad effects of his loss.
 A S2 fine and costs was imposed upon 4. F. Purdon of Elnira, N. Y- for beating a man, and Olive Purdon was fined s5 and costs for fighting an officer.

Followed by Smith shouting at his heels
that he was a coward and did not even
dare call for rising vote on his mo-
ton, Judge O'Dwyer ran from the room.
O'Dwyer did not even wait to put a mo-
ton to adjourn. The resolution which
brought on the fight that threatens to
disrupt the club follows:
Resolved, that we favor the immedi-

State committee and the county commit

That We are opposed to the present
leadership of Charles F. Murphy, and de-
clare II our belief that the interest of

A Baseball Education.

Modern pedagogy recognizes tn.
value of the avocation bureau. So die
the late John R. Mcvey, of Newcastle
Pa. who bequeathed $500 for the base
ball education" of his favorite nephew
Daniel McVey, jr, now thirteen, il
Danny is inclined to break into the big
leagues to earn his living at the na-
tional game. Inasmueh as Danny is not
only fan but has shown proves as
pitcher on his school team, it is very
probable he will be so inclined. Could
a boy have roster prospect of life
than to know that he is expected, nay,
desired, to become the idol of a ma
tons fans?
The fond uncle did not prescribe
what curriculum the baseball education
should comprise. Perhaps he was hu-
manly wise enough to know that any
American boy with skill and oppor-
tunity could make 5000 pay for all the
schooling in the great game that he
would need besides native pep"

The Custom Cutters.

Don't get it into your head tina,
the custom cutters are trimmers of the
conventionalities. Really, they are the
men that make and maintain the sar.
torial prophecies; and inasmuch as wha,
man wears is. only too often a sign
and symbol, to the mundane eye, of
what he is, their: responsibility for a
large part of the regimen of outward
and visible living is quite tremendous.
The gathering of the custom cutters
here for their annual meeting, there
fore, is one of importance; and, as
The Washington Herald stated when
it announced that the custom cutters
would be received by President Wilson,
it was fitting that the program cut out
for them should include reception a,
the White House.
Theirs is an indispensable art, at once
decorative and useful. The DELEGATES
themselves are the men who have raised
themselves to the high places in their
business. Washingtonians offer to them
and their fair companions a hearty
welcome.

members and guests of the West End
Citizens Association gathered for the

speeches that followed struck the note
for a better and more beautiful Ma
tional Capital.
II believe that 1t is for the best inter-

Lobeck. Of Nebraska, one Of the princi-
pal speakers, that they have represent

lment afforded the suffragists Of Eng
land when they sought to lay theii
cause before officials whose authority
lis comparable to that domiciled in the
White House.
President Wilson stood upon the
same ground IS on previous occasion.
when he received a deputation Of
woman suffragists. As the. President
of the United States elected BY the
Democratic party he explained. he
may not go beyond the platform upon
which he stood as a candidate. Then
he offered to shake hands with them
a privilege of which some of the women
in the delegation did not avail them
selves; perhaps they felt that they had
been shaken quite enough.
Yet the. Presidents conduct of the
affair-his conduct of the affair, for he
never let it get out of his hands
should suffice to notify the womap
suffragists that they may have always
q respectful hearing for their cause,
which is all that any cause can claim.
In so far as President Wilson thus
recognized that woman suffrage is one
of the great issues of today, he made
surer the thwarting of any possible
attempts to introduce into the United
States the militancy of physical violence
with which the British suffragettes
have made government employment in
the right little, tight little island one
of the hazardous industries.
The sufragists have every reason to
be glad and proud of their days work.
Their delegation was received as a
deputation of advocates of votes-for-
women. Their several spokeswomen
were listened to with effectiveness and,
of course, with courtesy. Their cause
thus has been given recognition, if not

yesterdays meeting of the suffragists
with the President. They asked a re-
ception and they got it. 1t was the
Presidents privilege not to speak his
on the subject. He was not
hiding. The suffragists will do well to
keep him friend, at least not an open
euemy.
