II would be hard to md four cele-
brated women of more different na-
lures than the four whose birthday is
celebrated today. One was queen
OF Sweden, Louise Ulrica, born in 1870;
one was Dutch writer. Elizabeth Bek-
ker; one was a missionary. Ellen Maria
Stone, who was born in 1916, and the
fourth is Princess Charlotte. the eld-
est sister of the Emperor of Germany.
She was born July "a, hfty-four years
ago today. When she was eighteen
years old she was married TO the hered-
itary Prince of SaXe-Meiningen.
Louise UIrica was the favorite sister
OF Frederick the Great. Her father
had ten children and when she was
born in 1I20 he had just concluded a
peace with Sweden. On investigating
the source of this peace he found that
the Queen of Sweden, Ulrica Eleanora,
was at the bottom of II, so he named
the little princess who had just seen
the light of day after the peacemak-
ing Queen Ulrica, little knowing that
the little princess would one day be
q Queen of Sweden also.
Ulrica became the favorite sister of her
famous brother, who succeeded his father

SAYS ROAD sQUANDERED COIN.

General Counsel Thorn. Of the Southern
Railway. yesterday began cross-examina-
tion of B. l. Dulaney. the principal wit
ness against the Southern before the
Tillman subcommittee OF the Senats
which is investigating the relation Of the
Southern Railway TO the development OF
the southeastern coal fieldA lhe chief
point brought out during today's ses-
sion was Dulaney's insistence that ST.
OOO.0Oo spent by the Southern on a sixty
mile cutoff and reduction Of grade OF
the Virginia and Southwestern had
brought no benefit whatever to the coal
field near which the improvement was
made. He declared that the money was
spent merely in order that the Morgan
group in New York might keep their
securities in good condition The proof
of this contention, he declared. lay in
the fact that the road does not yet carry
the coal from the southeastern field

'Moonshine Molly" written by II. r.
Durant. will be seen in Washington soon
with the same enthusiasm that the ad-
vance notices on this wonderful human
interest drama have met, the leases feel
sure. The cast contains Mae Marsh,
Fred Burns, Robert Harron, Wallace
Reid. and Eagle Eye. The story runs:
Uriah Judson was in a bad humOr. in a
mood to do a desperate deed. But he was
not disposed to take any unnecessary
chances in achieving his ends. He was
willing to assume risks where they could
not be avoided, for JudsOn was not a
coward. But II thought and planning
would enable him to accomplish his pur-
poses, then Judson would spend time
thinking and planning.
Judson lived in the Kentucky noun
tains, and. like most of his neighbors. he
was a moonshiner, that is. he was en-
gagged in distilling whisky without paying
any revenue TO the government Life had
gone along smoothly with him until a
few weeks before, when Lawson Keene
had reached the neishborhood to teach
school. Keene az once became a source
OF trouble to Judson.
For some months Judson had paid court
to Molly Boone. He had known her all
his life, but only recently had awakened
to a realization of the fact that she was
q pretty girl and altogether desirable.
And then Lawson Keene had arrived.
Molly had begun to go to schooI'tO him,
and he had noticed at once what il had
taken Uriah JudsOn years to learn. There
was no doubt that the school teacher
and the moonshiner agreed on the sub
ject of Molly Boone's good looks. no
matter how much they disagreed on other
subjects
II don't intend that school teacher shall
have Molly" Uriah confided 10 one Of
his cronies.
But how are ye goin' to stop lt?''
asked the other. That teacher feller is
pretty smooth, and it's natural that a
pretty girl like Molly should choose him
instead OF you"
I'll stop IT all right" muttered Uriah.
Just you wait and see"
Uriah's realization Of MoIly's charms
came about the time that her father
was sent to the penitentiary for twenty
years. There was no disgrace attached

The motion picture as guiding Infiu-
ence for good and also as an educational
vehicle Is being proved all over the world
where the movie Is form of entertain
ment Robert L. Pique, warden Of the
State penltentiary Of Tennessee. in a re-
cent number OF the Motion Picture News,
writes the following interesting Iettet3
The influence OF motion pictures on
discipline is being tried in the Tennessee
State prison. A brand new motion picture
machine has been installed in the-building
and first class convicts are given the
privilege of seeing regular motion pic
lures twice week. None but first class
prisoners are allowed In the chapel, where
the pictures are shown.
Infractions OF prison rules have become
less, since every convict. from the life
termers to the one-year men, are anxious
to see the happenings Of the outside
world on the screen.
When the pictures were first installed
a few weeks ago. there was a general
change in the demeanor OF the convicts.
Prisoners who-had gone about their Ia
bors in sulIen silence thanked the warden
for his efforts toward bettering their
condition and taking the rough edge on
their lot
Manager Tony sudekum. of the AIham-
bra. Elite and Fifth Avenue theaters,
furnished the machine for the prison. and
an expert now serving a f1ve-year term
at the penitentiary has been put in
charge Of the weekly amusements. The
convict operator has but a few more
months to serve, and Manager .Sudekum
has promised him a job as operator.
A silver loving cup has been presented
TO Mr.. Sudekum by the Rotary Club for
his kind act In lending the convicts a
machine. The prisoners have also ex-
pressed their gratitude to the local mo-
tion picture wizard. and those who have
been behind the walls for ten and twenty
years can appreciate. as the others can't,
the great relief from prison monotony
furnished by film drama.
Educational pictures are among the
number shown. and with the prison or

METHODIST. WOMEN

Conference Rejects Appeal for Laity Rights Two
 Women Speak.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 19.- Laity rights for women were defeated by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, here today by vote of I'll to 105. This was the feature of today's ses- sion and had been made a special or der of business.
 The privilege of the floor was ac- corded two women, Miss Belle Ben- nett and Mrs. T. B. King the former favoring and the latter opposing laity rights.
 Majority and minority reports were presented. The minority report seeks to amend the discipline by giving wo- men all the rights now exercised by laymen of the church, while the ma jority recommends the rejection of the request.
 to substitute the minority for the ma jority report and Miss Belle Bennett spoke to the motion.
 She declared laity rights were not a class question but church ques- tion.
 Our church and the colored churches" she said, "are the only ones that have not granted these rights"
 Replying to a statement that the movement was not in harmony with womanhood, Miss Bennett declared that all reforms were out of harmony with existing conditions.
 She said the charge that only old maids and childless women wanted laity rights for personal ambition was cruel and puerile.
 Mrs. T. B. King of Memphis assert ed that majority of women did not want laity rights. "We don't want any more rights, she said. "We don't want to be eman- cipated for we are not in position that requires emancipation. We have all the rights We want" The woman's suffrage question, she claimed, was at the bottom oE the en- tire question of laity rights, w. J. Carpenter of the Florida con- ference said at least quarter of million of Methodists were demanding this legislation, including the annual conferences.

BECKER SCORES IN MURDER TRIAL Reporters Testimony Flat ly Contradicts Rose and
 Webber.
ELEMENT OF TOUBT
". II. Hawley's Eyidcnc, lie,ed to Have lriectcd Into ,i1nds of Jurors Doubt That Becker
 Was Implicated.

New York, May 19--CiArles Beck CT, on trial for his life before Justice Samuel Seabury, will have sd'isfac- torily accounted for every moment of his time on the night of the murder of ilrrman Rosenthal in July, 1912, ii the direct tes imony of w. Fl. flaw ley is not discredited on cross-exami- nation tomorrow.
 Hawley is a former employe of an evening newspaper. He swore that he worked on the Rosenthal murder story and communicated with Becker by telephone at the latter's home about 2:15 o'clock on the morning of the killing.
 Becker answered the telephone, Hawley said, then came down town and met him at Broadway and 42nd street about 3 o'clock, the two later going to the West 47th street police station, where the body of Rosenthal had been taken. From that time until 8 o'clock in the morning the witness was not out of Beeker's sight except during intervals of very few min- utes.
 This story, if true, is most valuable, as it directly contradicts the testi- mony of both Jack Rose and "Bridgie" Webber as to the alleged conference they held with Becker in 42nd street. naer Sixth avenue, just before day light on the morning of the murder.
 Six witnesses preceded Hawley on the stand, and each of these told something to support the theory ad- vanced by the defense that Rosen- thals murder was the outcome of gamblers war with which Becker had no part Chief of these was Jacob Reich, better known as Jack" Sul- livan. The others were Charles Reich, Isadore Fischmann, leather goods manufacture; Norris M. Beech- er a lawyer, and relative of the Reich brothers; k. D. Whaytock and | Richard H. Rooney, newspaper re- porters.
 It was generally conceded at the close Of the court today among law yers aud others who have followed the tes,,mony that Becker's lawyers have established the element of doubt which Is often tremendous factor with a jury in rendering ver- | dict

MANY SLAIN SECRETLY

Vera Cruz, Mexico May 19.-T did |not keep count of them.' This was the reply of pr. Aureliano |Urrutia, refugee from the wrath of |General Huerta, when asked today |how many men had been put to death lin Mexico City in the last year. The Vera Cruz police authorities to- fday filed charges against Urrutia with |General Funston accusing him of ev- |ery crime, from cutting out the Tongues of his enemies to incendiar lism.
 | General Funston was asked to order khe prosecution of Urrutia. This, of Icourse, is impossible. | The "removal' of countless Mexi- leans of high and low degree and the kule of Huerta was calmly discussed tby Urrutia, once minister of the inter- Rior and credited with being Huerta's V4secret eXecutioner."
 \ He admitted that many were sum 1marily killed, but denied all personal Responsibility.
 How many Mexican leaders have been assassinated ?s Urrutia was ksked.
 q do not know" he answered. "I Twas blamed for them all, but I did hot order them."
 M The former minister spoke bitterly, mindful of the/ deep resentment still manifested against him by the MeXi- kans of Vera Cruz.
 Even as he talked in the hotel a |huttering crowd could be heard in he plaza outside, but American ma lines kept them moving.
 \ Urrutia fled to within the Ameri-
 ban lines, he said, to save himself
 Ind his family from the wrath of Hu- krta. He is under the protection of Eeneral Funston.
 Were many killed secretly?" he las asked. I"Yes, but I do not know how many, y

 Is it true that Dominguez. the
