THE DESTINY OF THE SLAVS.
Professor Pupin Gives Instructive
 Address Before WOlnan's Club.

Professor M I. Pupin of Columbia University gave a very interesting ad- dress at the meeting of the Woman's club in the chapel of the First Bap- tist church yesterday afternoon on the "Destiny of the SlaVs" Professor Pupin was admirably fitted for his task as he is Slav and has a mastery grip on his subject. He was born in Austria of Serbian parentage. The Slavs, he said, are the latest people in Europe of Aryan origin and by blood and race are consequently closely related to the AnglO-SaXons and Teutonic nations.
 They are naturally a peaceful and industrious people but have been forced to continual warfare by the aggressive character of other races, nota bly, the Tartars and Asiatic tribes, who have ever attacked them. Nat urally they have fallen under t he care of the Russians and look to the Russians to protect them. In the present war they are fighting for eX istence and it is felt that it is the destiny of the Slavs to fight with the Anglo-Saxons agains the Teutonic mii- itarism. The Slav, said Professor Pupin, is democratically inclined and sternly opposed to autocracy in any form. He considered the Russian , writer and poet, Tolstoi, as best rep resenting the Slavic ideals, the ber- torment of mankind being the under lying sentiment A reception followed the lecture and tea was served by the social committee. Professor Pupin was entertained while here at the home of Mrs. w. c. Hungerford on Russell street.

 NEW HAVEN CASE
= tcont nued From First Page)


 "Yes." said counsel, but we must first prove that the child exists"
 "I should say that the existence of n parent should be shown before the birth of the offspring" replied tho court.
 But submit" replied counsel. that we would not have to begin with his eat-great grandfather and come down from generation to generation to the great-great grandson and then say. gentlemen of the jury. am sorry to say the child died in 1912"
 No Radical Variance.
 "No." said the court, there is Sho radical variance in charges of con- spiracy. There are two questions for the jury to decide. first. was there any combination in existence for the pur- pose of starting a conspiracy; second, if there was such a combination. whether the defendants were guilty in coming into the combination.
 "If 1t is shown that no purpose ex- isted to form a conspiracy, then the jury need go no further. If it is shown there was a conspiracy, then the defendants may be judged as Co their guilt over the period in which they participated"
 Judge Hunt then overruled the ob- jection, instructing counsel for the government that they should proceed to establish the prima facie evidence | of a conspiracy.
