New York. Jan. 10-Men have gone to

out their own bed for repose and all the
others of the household were away. That

that strange man was asleep up stairs
Timmons went up. took a look, and then
went out to find a policeman who could
awaken the intruder. He returned with
Policeman kurner. of the Simpson street
station. Kurner shook and shook, but for
n while his efforts produced no other
result than a series of gurgles and snores
from the sleeper Finally the intruder
sat up in bed with his hat cooked on one

her if new trial was to be held.
Il am anxious that this case be tried, -
Mrs. Carman stated in a quick tone OF
voice. Il desire that it he tried immed-
lately. When the jury were unable to
agree at the trial in October 1 was sorely
disappointed. Up to the time the jury
reported its inability to agree I was
supremely confident that 1 was to be ac-
quilted.
II felt that an acquittal would not
merely be an exoneration. but would be
complete vindication. Mr.. Levy. who
has not only been my lawyer but my

begged and implOred him to get this case
on trial. 1t cannot be made ready for

Dislike HOYT IDEAS
ABOUT RACE suicide
Speaker Before Secular League Doesn't
Want Large Families Reared, and
Says Fathers Are Cruel.

Race suiciders'' and race suicide were
defined first and then fervently denounced
by Keplcr Hoyt in an address made yes
terday afternoon before the Secular
League at Pythian Temple. To the sur
prise of the league members Mr.. Hoyt
spoke of race suicide as the doctrine Of
large families, the larger the better, and
of the "suiciders'' as those men with a
passion for strenuous propagation.
When the subject was opened to dis
Cussion at the close of the address yolun-
teers were numerous, who desired TO set
the speaker on the right track
The decline, decrease. and death OF
the race is the meaning conveyed to me
by the term race suicide explained
one speaker. Altogether. the paper We
have just listened TO was. to me, one of
the strangest, most discOuraging theses
I've ever listened to-"
Another member OF the league who Of
feTed comment expressed disappointment
that the question of race suicide should
Eave been discussed in such a way that
the perpetuatiOn Of the race is considered
an evil. This speaker read paragraphs
from Plutarch. very frank eXpositions OF
systems for keeping the world forever
fully populated.
Large families were given by Mr.. Hoyt
as the direct cause Of poverty. and the
'raCe suicidcrs' meaning the fathers of
the familics-as the creators of the slums.
Marriage, from his viewpoint, is an in
stitution for the mutual development of
mind and character. Mankind. he spoke
of as a IaCe Of animals called by courtesy
human" which continually gives way
to sensual qualification of pride in num-
bers. He painted horrible picture of
L l. ID
10y brute force as a result of the destruc-
tiOn Of American WomanhOOd and the
qualification Of the passions of half of
the population by the other half.

The Scientific Support Of Christian
Doctrine" was the subject of a lecture
by Mr.. Shibley delivered before the
TheOsophical Federation of Washington.
He said
The advance Of scientific knowledge
i'm the present day is again bringing to
the notice of mankind many facts which
tend TO a broader view Of life and to
at least a partial confirmation of Gnostic
teaching. Especially is this true of the
investigation by scientists of the COM
position and properties of matter and the
nature Of the atom
The pendulum Of thought which, when
the doctrine of evolution was first proved
by Darwin swung towards AgnOstiCism.
has reached its limit. and in its return
is strengthened by the impetus which
science has given TO early Christian
teachings"

TO WAIT FOR MONEY.
No Decision as to Locating Labora-

Absolutely no consideration is being
given at this time by Secretary Daniels
to the location of the big naval ex-
pertinent station or the armor plate
factories proposed, according to state
ment made by the Secretary today
Some cities already have been trying
for the experiment station, but Secre-
tary Daniels said that at this time he
will inform those pushing any move
ment to get the station or armor plate
factories that he will wait until Con-
gress provides the money.
If the legislative body, provides the
money, the Secretary said. then he will
make an investigation and determine.
with the aid of his assistants. just
where the experiment station and the
factories should be located. He said
he did not know whether Congress. in
making the appropriation, would pro-
vide for the location of the armor plate
factories and station or not. but he
felt that it would simply appropriate
the money, leaving to the Navy De-
partment the duty of locating the
plants

Debate as to When Rule Became Eff
fective Principally Affects
Ben W. Murch.

Difficulties over their new rule pro-
viding that no employe of the public
schools should draw more than two
salaries caused lengthy discussion
among members of the board of educa-
ton yesterday at an executive session
preceding the regular meeting. The
board did not assemble for its regular
meeting until more than an hour later
than its schedule time
Two questions on the rule arose. One
was over the question Of janitors, for.
as the rule now stands. janitors are in
cluded in it and 1t is deemed inexpe-
dent to have different janitors attend
at different buildings.
The other question was over the point
of when the rule began-July / or at
the time of its adoption, the early part
of October. If the rule was made to
become effective last July, during the
summer playground period, no one who
was employed on these grounds and is
