 ssIf the work of the women lawyers who have volunteered to serve in the night court defending friendless and I unfortunate women is successful we I shall have found grounds for de. mandins that the much discussed public defender shall become ar ! actuality,'' says. Miss Margaret Burnet I one of the lawyers who, at the insti- I gation of the prison committee of the Church of the Ascension, have agreed l to furnish free counsel for the women l tried on prostitution charges in the l night court. The committee, under Attorney An na Moscowitz, after two months ten tatiye work, has arranged schedule of lawyers, mostly women, who will be present in the court nightly. An investigating secretary will prepare material for the committee.
 Miss Rembaugh's Views.
 Miss Bertha Rem baugh, scheduled for alternate Tuesday nights, says of the work that it is experimental.
 Tt is an attempt, says Miss Rem baugh, to remedy certain injustices that have sprung up. We do not yet know whether there is any efficacy in remedying faulty procedure or wheth-- CT nothing is worth while except a de- finite change in our whole attitude toward are social problem the night court deals with.
 Opening Wedge For Women Judges.
 Members of the committee have spoken of their work as looking for ward to the appointment of a woman judge in the children's court and ul- timately in the night court also. and as an aside Miss Rembaugh was asked whether she agreed with Miss Sophonisba Breckinridge, the first woman lawyer in Kentucky, who looks to the now generally recognized need for trained women to hold quasi judi- cial positions in passing on cases of dependency and delinquency among women and children as an agent in furthering the standing of women in the legal profession.
 T thing that point Aof view,'' she said, is misleading. So definitely do I believe that there are as many diff ferent kinds of women lawyers as there are men lawyers, regret what ever seems to. narrow or particularize the woman professionals fleld.''
 But it is quite true, !" responds Miss Margaret Burnet; that the particular field of the night court is the wonl T an lawyers. On the rescue commit tee of the woman's auxiliary of the Society for the PreHertion of Crime which dealt in the prosecution of cadets, became aware of the hope lessness of the woman defendants sit uation. surrounded as she was by shy ster lawyers and shyster bondsmen, men on every side determined to prey on her.
 Magistrate as Prosecuting Attorney.
 "In all the inferior courts the mag istrate acts as Attorney. It is not too much to say that rather instinctively he acts as prosecuting attorney. The administration of the law depends al- most entirely on the personality of

tempts to break into society. But it is the coming of the little fellow, oc- cupied with Joe's manly, firm atti- tude toward his wife, that gradually brings her to her real self, and turns her sweet penitent wife, back to the man she so bitterly wronged and so deeply hurt in the beginning.

 Free Women From Exploitation.
 The presence of the attorneys who have volunteered to grant their coun- sel free of fee to the unfortunate women who come within the jurisdic ton of the night court should free the woman from exploitation, and by put ting her in touch with avenues for escape from her life make something of the court experiences that has not been made of it before. Held for the moment, the focus of the case should be social and not that of a person loath to confess the truth and cal culating only the minimum cost of getting caught
 The night court is not court | machine grinding out cases It must be something more-just what it is far too soon to dictate.s' S
 Lawyers Who Have Volunteered. Among the lawyers who have vol unteered for the service besides Miss Rembaugh and Miss Burnet are Mrs Mary N. Lilly Miss Dorothy Strauss, Miss Amy Wren, Mrs. Jean H. Norris and Miss Sarah Stephenson All of them are members of the Women Lawyers Association, of which Mrs. Olive Scott Gabriel is president
 The presence of the women in the courts during the past two months has already pointed the finger to the need in that particular court, not for care less work, not for indefinite points of view toward the larger aspects of the problem, but for the gathering cf the finest legal talent and the most scientific minds to handle the problem that centers there.

The accusation that many young
girls have yielded to the lure of the
bright lights in their efforts to win
fame, and that temptation faced them
on every side, is an oft repeated
charge. Miss Nichols story of her
experiences in the movies is a fiat
denial of the charge.
Some time ago Miss Nichols rap
ped at the gates Of a local motion
picture concern. Just as hundreds
of other girls had done before her,
she left her name and address in
the hope that some day she would
be called upon.
A few weeks later she was given

SEVERED HALYARD

Leipzig's Crew Shot Down
Because They Could
Not Surrender.

Cleveland, March IA shot-torn

men Of the cruiser Leipzig At the end
Of the engagement of December off

cruiser. her last shot fired on fire and
disabled. could not haul down her en-
sign H. surrender because the halyard
was severed and, massed on the fitting
deck. the crew in consequence had TO
endure heavy shelling from the
Glasgow that left only thirty Of them
alive.
This tragic detail OF the sea fight of
the coast Of Chill became known for
the first time tonight through let
ter from Mrs. John II. Pope, Of Mon
tev'deo, Uruguay. to the family Of J..
D. Cox, of 3411 Euclid Avenue.
Captain Luce, Of the Glasgow. told
the story over a dinner table in Mon

its vivid detail, in her letter. Her YER

lows:
"The Leipzig fred her last shot and
was ablaze inside. Her captain then
ordered all hands on deck with their
life belts on. They gathered in the
waist Of the ship, expecting an eEplo-

below was burning, also storeroom

They could not haul down their en-

"The signal room was afre also, and

and the German officers said that just
standing there on moving and dis
abled ship, unable to make any signals
at all to the enemy. waiting TO be
blown up any moment, and in the mean
time being killed by hundreds at every
shot from the Glasgow, was enough to
break the nerve of any man.
Captain Luce said he never felt so
horribly about anything in his life, but
he could not have done otherwise. and
run the risk of losing his ship by being
torpedoed, and il might very well have
