Niuhts Nav Be Short

NEW YORK, June 22-As yester
day was the longest day in the year
1t naturally follows that last night was
the shortest night. That didn't keep
it from being big one, however, for
many folks along Broadway. The
usual crowds were out and were still
out early this morning.
The summer resorts have lured
away many who spent their winter
nights tangoing and trotting, but
wherever there Is nice slick floor
BOUNDED on three sides by tables and
on the fourth by an orchestra and
kitchen, there can always be found a
perspiring crowd Of lively dancers.
Some of the dancers are more lively
than others for another essential is
that the slick floor be located conven-
lent to a good supply Of plain and
fancy, but all expensive. drinks. Food
Is OF minor Importance.
The big nights are no bigger than
they ever were. So last night being
the shortest Of the year there was no
more of a tendency to crowd things
into it than any other night. The
crowds stayed out Just so long any
how and then went home with the
milkmen this morning.

HONOR SYSTEM
is NOT KILLED
Convict Who Committed Murder, was
One Of the TRUSTEES and
Not Honor Man.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
JOLIET, ILL.,. June 22.-The trusty
who attacked and murdered the wife
of Warden Edmund NJ. Allen, of Joliet
pen, early Sunday morning as she lay
in her bed, did not kill the honor sys-
tenn which was the bereavsd husbands
life work This was made plain to-
day when the warden pointed out that
it was not an honor man. who was
suspected of killing his wife, but a
trusty. The trusty system. it was ex-
planned, Is in vogue In every prison
in the world-even those conducted
on theories and practices Of ages ago.
An announcement was expected from
Warden Allen today that he would
leave the penitentiary, but would
keep up his work Of advance for men
sentenced to prison.
Prison ON cials expected develop
ments that may lead to discovery Of
the murderer. The inquest was sched-
uled to be resumed sometime before
noon The TRUSTEES who have been iso-
lated as suspects or as knowing more
than they have told will be the wit
nesses.
Chicken Joe" Campbell, the six
foot negro who was the Aliens per-
sonal servant and who is believed to
know as much as any other man Of
Mrs. Aliens last moments, will be the
last witness.
Proof that even the murder OF his
wife, under such shocking conditions.
has not shaken Warden Aliens faith
IN his system and in "his boys" as he
always called the prisoners, was
shown IN the brief but gripping mes
sage he sent to them, shortly after
they had turned the dining hall into
a bedlam yesterday in their fury to
get" one of the suspects.
In this, the greatest trial of my
life was the word the warden sent
his boys, 81 want at least the knowl-
edge that the boys for whom / and
mine have tried to do. are doing the
right thing. / will do nothing until i
have talked in the chapel, If you
want to help tighten my grief, be 100
per cent men

words of the bishop to Jean Val Jean
after the theft OF the candles Ks

Laekowisdom Female Seminary Ex-
ercises Were Repeated Last Night
Before an Appreciative
Audience
LAUGHS WERE FREQUENT
President Of Board Of Trustees Pre-
sided In His Usual Graceful
Fashion and Created Much
Amusement

The graduating exercises Of the
Lackowisdom Female Seminary were
repeated last night and large audi
ence showed their appreciation of the
efforts Of the graduates who received
their diplomas from the literary and
musical departments of the school.
The old time gowns, the fiowery
speeches delivered in equally fowery
oratorical fashion. and the general
atmosphere of the affair created
amusement every minute for the spec
tators in the Y. w. G. A.. auditorium.
In the absence of the preceptress,
Edward Fointainbleau Carter, presi.
dent of tha board of trustees presided
and announced the numbers. That in
itself was worth the price of admis.
sion. Carter appeared at his best, and
had the crowd laughing from the very
start. His introductions had the word
originality written all over them. and
anyone who knows Ed Carter's ability
along this speech-making line, can
imagine what twists and turns he
gave the story Of the 'EPied Piper OF
Hamilton" who was full Of pie, but
who would have been just as good had
he been full of cheese. considering
the nature of his job.
The graduates themselves were all
good. 1t was hard to pick out any
one better than the others The audi
ence appreciated all Of them and gave
them good hand. One Of the young
ladies so far forgot her dignity as to
laugh out in meetin', which called
forth rebuke from the chairman,
much to the edifcation of the audience.
The raduates from the literary de-
partment were Mamie Arabella Nc
Farland, Eleanor Jane Brown. Jose
phin.e Patience Matless. Cora Stepha-
ME Parsons and Ruth Constance Boyd.
Those from the musical department
were Clara Sophronia Fry, Louise
Almeda Klein. Caroline Prudence
Baldwin, Katie Ann Tucker, Florence
Nightingale Schouten and Martha
Phoebe Baldwin.

carry car loads of flowers to the
stage we're Fame Bell, Edith Louise
