WAITE'S WIFE COMING
FOR TRIAL OF. DENTIST
Prosecution Relies on Her Story
TO Convict Husband.

Mrs. Clara Peck Waite, upon whom
the prosecution is relying for evidence
to convict her husband, DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite, Of murder, will arrive
in New York early this week in prep
aration for the trial, which will open
next Monday.
Mrs. Waite already has supplied As
sistant District Attorney Msncuso with
letters and other evidence indicating
that the young dentist planned to
murder his wifes parents Immediately
after his marriage. This evidence,
along with remarks Mrs. Waite says
he made 20 her at that time, will con-
stitute the strongest circumstantial
evidence against the accused man.
The largest panel of veniremen since
the Becker trial has been summoned to
appear in Justice Shearn's court Mon
day morning. There will be $50 men,
and IL is thought that a week may be
consumed in selecting jury.
Investigation Of Waite's past life by
detectives from the District Attorneys
Office has revealed additional facts
that will be used against him at the
trial. Il ia expected 70 show that he
was compelled TO leave the little town
of Menominee. Mich, where he was
organist in Presbyterian church
eleven years ago, because he was
caught stealing money from contrlbu-
ton boxes.

Bishop Brent Says Natives

Intelligent missionary work, com
bined with practical education. will
bring the PHILIPPINES to creditable
place among the nations OF the Far
East, according TO the Rev Charles
Henry Brent. who yesterday preached
in st. Thomss's Church, Fifth Avenue
and Fifty-third Street. The speaker,
who has been Bishop OF the islands
for fifteen years, pleaded particularly
for men TO go there and continue the
work now being done.
Bishop Brent praised especially the
Tagslog tribes, which he said were al
ready developing rapidly in industrial
lines. Sawmills, machine shops and
printing presses are already in eff
cient native hands. or these there are
about 100000, both able and anxious TO
take up the tasks Of civilization as
fast as their education will allow.
The famous Moro tribes were called
elusive" by the Bishop He placed
their numbers az about half q million,
although they evsde foreigners so sue
cessfully, he explained, that no figures
could be called exact.
I've have tried TO exchange the
former method Of hunting them with
weapons and threats for those Of sim
plicity and love. To some extent even
these people have responded. Their
blood-stained island has a great future.
We have gained their confidence, and

and everlasting. But Ethical Culture

BOYS IN SING SING
HONOR MOTHERS
Many Disappointed When
Supply of Carnations
Runs Short.

THE boys would rather have flowers
inside here than their tobacco every
sne" said a member of the Mutual
Welfare League Of Sing Sing yester-
1,y. On the lapel Of his gray prison
coat was white carnation. 1t was
ore OF the blossoms gwen out to about
half Of the $50 men in the prison IN
memory Of Mothers Day.
Persons from all parts Of the state
sent the flowers 70 Sing Sing. Enough
of the pink. white or red blossoms had
been promised TO provide for every
man. but many Of the flowers did not
arrive. The prisoners knew that the
carnations we're to come. When they
we're released from their cells in the
prison block in the morning many gath
cred in front Of the Office Of the Mu-
tual Welfare League and waited ex-
peetantlv. When the doors were
opened. Frank Lutz. the member OF the
league who gave out the flowers, was
nearly overwhelmed by the rush. Men
cane running from all parts OF the
ward and stormed the league Office.
The reward Of being there with the
first 500 would be one little flower.
As the heap Of flowers grew small
anxious looks came TO the faces Of
the men far back in the line. When the
last flower was reached the fortunate
prisoner took il eagerly. He seemed
doublv happy because disappointment
had been so near. .
Men VINO received flowers had little
20 say Most Of them walked silently
and contentedly away, but the twenty
men who wait IN the condemned cells,
10 each Of whom one flower was sent
we're profuse with their thanks Car
nations were also distributed TO the
inmates Of the prison hospital.
Last night the men kept their now
ers In the coolest places TO be founo

GRANGE remains IN the carnations.
Il was the first time Mothers Day
had been observed at Sing Sing.
OF know the boys respect their moth

Welfare League member as he looked
al his carnation, "and most OF Us are
going home sooner or l1ter.
