 "The women of Illinois will break the double moral standard for men and women into pieces with iron blows" said Bishop Samuel Fellows There must be a great regeneration of morals on the part of man before the double moral standard can be eli minated. We must remove the stain of dishonor from the innocent ones who have been wronged. We must give the child the right to bear its fathers name"

RUSSIAN SHIP IN NEW YORK;
 FIRST IN THREE MONTHS
Is to Take a Cargo for Port as Yet
 Unnamed.

New York, Dec. 28.-For the first time in nearly three months ship flying the Russian flag docked today at New York pier. She was the steamship Vologda, out of Archangel December 3 and is here in ballast to take cargC for a port as yet unnamed.
 Until early September a regular service was maintained between this port and Archagel, Russia, by ves- sels of the Russian volunteer fleet, in cluding the passenger steamers Kursk, DwinSk, CZar and Czaritza. These ships for an unexplained reason were withdrawn from the New York service and little has been heard of them to have left Archangel November 15 with 104 passengers for New York, but maritime circles heard today that she had been intercepted with orders at Isea to put into Liverpool, where the passengers were transferred to the American steamship Lapland, due here this week.
 Officials here of the Russian lines decline to discuss the movement of their ships, but others whose interests are associated with Russian shipping think the vessels are being used to transport supplies from England to Russia via te ice-free port of Kola Bay, under the protection of war craft.
 Officers of the Vologda refused to say anything about their voyage from Archangel.

ALLEGED THREAT BY SMALL
 TO KILL HIS WIFE
Is to Be Used in His Prosecution for
 Wife Murder.

Ossipee, N. H., Dec 28.-Incidents designed to show that Frederick L. Small former Boston broker, used harsh and profane language to his wife, Florence Airline Small, for whose murder he is on trial, were related in the testimony of several witnesses to- day.
 Philip L. Davis, formerly employed on odd jobs by the defendant, said that on one occasion when MT. and Mrs. Small were raising a f1agpole, Mrs. Small let go rope in accord ance with her husbands directions and the pole fell. Small then kicked his wife, swore at her, and ordered her into the house when she tried to ex- plain, saying We'll settle that later" according to Davis.
 Mrs. Mary B. Conner, wife of the high school principal, said that Small addressed profane language to his wife or. one occasion because she could not steer his motorboat with a cord he had arranged. Helen Conner, her daugh- ter, said that when she complimented Small on his wife's cooking he replied that sometimes he had ito take the axe to her."
 In outlining the prosecutions case, Walter D. H. Hill, the county solicitor, told of an alleged threat by Small that he would kill his wife. The inci- dent was said to have happened be- fore the Smalls moved to Ossipee lake, Small is alleged to have asserted: .I hit her over the head with a bootjack ought to have killed her, and I will yet"
 There was much interest tonight in the arrival of Medical Examiner George B. Magrath of Boston, who is expected to be witness tomorrow.
