sinking of the Lusitania as an il

BRISTON. England. Jan. 26.-Al-
though the chief speakers at the
labor conference today attacked
Consumption as undemocratic, never
theless the delegates this afternoon
adopted a resolution pledging the
support of the labor party to the
government in a successful prosecU-
ton of the war.
The 500 delegates present repre-
sent more than 100000 working
men.
The socialistic contingent was pre-
pared TO introduce strong resolutions
calling upon the government to
adopt measures which will prevent
England from going to war for
evermore.
The question of compulsory service
for wOrkingmen in munitions fac
tories threatens to bring about a
split in the labor party which may
take years to heal if it is ever healed
at all.
The struggle between the social
istic pacifists and the pro- govern
ment element promises 10 make this
the most important labor confer
ence in the history of England and
stormy sessions were predicted.
Some of the delegates favor the
adoption of a resolution for an in
ternational brotherhood of labor.
! The ultimate aim of those sponsor
| ing this resolution is to give the
working men such power in the first
class nations of the world as TO pre-
vent wars in the future.
The most important possibilities
are contained in the attitude which
the coal miners and railway work
ers will take Leaders Of both these
classes of workingmen have threat
ened national strikes that they have
a program which Will do away with
wars and in this connection they
point out that the principals have
already been endorsed by the social
istic pacifists of France. Italy. Ger
many, Switzerland, Holland. Den
mark and Norway. Chief of the
principles set forth in this program
are:
1-Eliuination or secret treaties.
2-Redrction Of ornaments.
Establishment of an interna-
tional tribunal TO settle disputes be-
tween nations.
.4.-Extension of the governmental
powers of parliaments.

PROVIDENCE. r. L., Jan. 20
Merely hammering home the testi-
mony Of two weeks that the ne
groes, Victor Brown, Henry Spell
man and George Heals confessed
that Mrs. Elizabeth Frances Mohr
hired them TO kill her husband, the
state today rested in the trial of the
woman and two of the negroes for
the murder Of DR.. Charles Franklin
MOhr.
The prosecution called 81 witness
es, the last being Capt. George
II. Monahan. who corroborated the
previous police evidence OF the al
legged confessions OF the negroes.
After the state closed there was a
consultation of counsel. after which
Justice Stearns iniormd the jury that
SpelIman and Brown waived their
privileges of opening statements. The
court said the defense of the ne
groes would come after Mrs. Mohr
has closed her case.
No Unwritten Law.
"No sO-called unwritten law will
be pleaded by Mrs Mohr." was the
opening remark by Atty. Arthur
Cushing of the defense.
Mrs. Mohr cried softly through
out the lawyers speech. She made
no sound. but her handkerchief was
all the time at her eyes.
The unwritten law may go in the
south and west, but New England
and Rhode Island has no use for it, "
Cushing continued. We care not
what Or. Mohr was. He may have
been a good man. He may have
been a cruel and faithless husband
and father
Ills character does not enter into
this womans defense DR.. Mohr
was human and had a right TO live.
His murder was perhaps one of the
worst crimes in recent times.
The state has alleged that Mrs.
Mohr was actuated by jealousy and
cupidity.
Absurd Proposition.
That is an absurd proposition.
Those two emotions, jealousy and
oupidity cannot exist in the same
breast.
Jealousy is caused by sex love.
Love is not calculating. Love never
committed a deliberately planned,
cold bloOded murder.
"On the other hand, cupidity can
not live with love. The love that in
spires jealousy has no thought for
acquiring property.
I'VE will show YOU that here is a
deserted. heart-broken wife, who for
months kept an almost insane watch
on her husband. Such a woman
could not have been thinking of
material property; could not cool
