sented.
In Hyam's last month she decided
to do something she had never done
befOre-pay him a visit at the col
lege. She had never wished to hUmil-
late the young man by letting his
friends know he was to marry a girl
who worked in a clothing store. Sc
Cretly she had tried to improve her
self so as to be able to face the world
as his wife. She had spoken to Hy-
am about this and he had laughed at
her fears and assured her that he
could not be ashamed of her. But
Esther was dubious. And then, al
though she treasured the least affec-
tiOnate word from him, he just took
their engagement for granted and
never alluded to the subject nearest
to her heart-their marriage.
She meant to pay him a visit,
but whether she would make herself
known or merely try to watch him
from afar would depend on what her
heart told her when she set eyes on
him. She worshiped the clever young

ther.
The very atmosphere Of the little
college town chilled Esther. In this
austere sanctuary of learning she
felt herself to be a common little
shopgirl, without thet least claim
upon Hyam. She shivered at her au-
dacity and resolved not to make her
self known to him.
It was the annual festival day
when she arrived. The campus was
packed with students and visitors. A
Greek play was being given and Es-
ther managed to secure a place, hop
ing to see her lover somewhere in
the audience. She sat and stared at
the performance. 1t was different
from anything she had ever known
or imagined.
Then suddenly Hyam came along
the row of seats Immediately in

woman with that fierce jealousy that
woman feels toward the man she
loves; and her fears were less for her
own hold upon her lover than for his
happiness should he love this woman.
Esther could see that, in spite of
fine clothing and air of superficial
culture, the companion of her lover
was really unworthy Of him. There
was a certain coarseness of soul
about her, a certain something in her
laugh that Jared and nettled her.
Presently she became aware that she
could hear every word they spoke.

head.

"Oh, III make good" said Hyam,

me about in New York;" asked Mrs.

Hyam. "She is only a common little
person. She's all right, but a man
isn't going to let himself be dragged
down by marrying the wrong sort Of
woman"
Esther crept away, thankful that
Hyam had not seen her. She made
her way to the station and sat with
dry eyes in the train as it bore her
back to the city.

CORN PRODUCTS
MUST DISSOLVE
Judge Hand Sees $780, 00,.
600 Corporation as a
Menace to Trade.

Judge Learned Hand, in a decision
filed yesterday in the Federal Court,
ordered the dissolution Of the Corn
Products Refining Company, an $780,
100000 corporation, chartered in New
Jersey in 1906. The National Starch
Company, the Novelty Candy Company,
the St. Louis Syrup and Refining Com
Iany, subsidiary corporations, and sew
eral individual defendants are named
in the dissolution decree, which con-
dennis the business practices OF the
combination in severe terms.
Judge Hand refused to exempt from
the injunction James Speyer, A. B.
Boardman, c. II. Kelsey and w. II
Nichols, jr., directors for three years
before the governments petition was
filed.
The form Of the decree. Judge Hand
says, will in general follow that in the
case Of the United States versus the
international Harvester Company, ex-
cept that the time within which to file

kind OF competition which tries -

Who might permanently secure the's
own position"
Atre referring 20 the defendants
contentious that dissolution would hsv,
a disastrous effect upon the foreign
trade and would involve the expendi'
ture of large sums Of money, Judge
Hand saws: "None Of these considera-
lions seem 10 be sufficient TO prevail
over the wisdom Of d!sintegrsting
combination which has shown suca
an inveterate and incorrigible insist
ence upon interfering with the course
OF commerce which the law demands
"That the general organization Of the
Corn Products Refining Company would
be disrupted, would, of course. follow IL
is. indeed, the very purpose OF the re-
lief itself. Such loss as Is involved IN
removing from the stockholders hands
the power which they have so consist
emily used contrary TO law is an ineyi-
table though unfortunate incident IN
the enforcement Of the statute.
at is clear enough that had dissolu-
ton been decreed in 1906, no court
would have allowed any unit so large
as the present Corn Products Refining
Company. The precise form OF redis-
tribution will have TO come up later,
but a combination of 90 per cent OF
the whole industry would not have been
considered"
Speaking of the decision last night.
Morgan J. O'Brien. OF counsel for the
defendant company, said;
at is a great disappointment, and
we will, of course, lodge an immedl-
ate appeal. The fundamental point
in the case is exactly the same as
that involved in the Harvester case.
The theory of Judge Hands decision
is the same theory as that upon which
the Harvester decision was based. The
latter decision has been carried 70 the
Supreme Court. where il is still pend

FIGHT PITCHED BATTLE
FOR BRIGHTON HOTEL
Rival Managers Lead Armies OF
Employes-One Is Arrested.

The struggle for supremacy as man.
ager of the Brighton Beach HOTEL
which has thus far confined itself to
legal strategy, yesterday became
pitched battle between two forces OF
hotel employees under the command OF
John f. Reynolds and William Weber,
both of whom claim the title.
Webber's men, who held the hotel
when the Reynolds contingent arrived,
were eventually victorious, and the at
lacking party beat hasty retreat when
their leader was arrested on charge
of grand larceny and led before Magis-
trate Voorhees, in Coney Island police
court.
Earlier in the day Deputy Sheriff
Walter J. Bryan had served injunctions
on Weber and his lieutenants, William
II. Ormes, Walter Jones, W. l. Kilpat
rick and August Emmerich, together
with summons TO appear in Kings
County Court Monday morning. Fol-
lowing this move, Captain John Lin
den. Of the Coney Island police, sent
sergeant and ten men to the hotel. but
all was quiet until the late afternoon,
when Reynolds attempted to take pos
session.
lniunctions, writs Of restraint and
other legal formula have been used by
both sides 10 obtain control of the
hotel. Just to whom the management
rightfully belongs no one seems to
know. The master stroke, which land
ed Reynolds in the police station, was
the work Of George S. O'Neill, wine
steward He charges that Reynolds
gave him check for 5000 which proved
worthless. Reynolds was released on

seventeen years ago, when Mrs. John

Astoria, she considered it worthless

Two weeks ago a Queens County con-

The deed was recorded for the first
time yesterday in the Queens County

are slaves of convention. For thou

ly of the capitalistic class. There is
another as formidable an enemy to
equality and freedom Of opportunity
as it is, and that is the class formed
by the labor organizations and lead
ers of the country"
If any man will work only eight
hours a day on account of Wilson's
fake 8-hour law I would like to know
his name and address. The fake child
labor law is worthless on account of
the Joker in the bill known as the
"30-day clause"
Pres. Wilson has increased the
cost of living by his appropriation Of
$6O0,0OO,0O0 for militarism and by
failing to do anything to prevent the
capitalists from extOrttng fabulous
prices.

thing sinful. Man has covered his
body with a lot of cumbersome
clothes in a vain effort to keep his
soul pure.
Why should we allow ourselves to
be governed by the morals and ethics
laid down by these crazy fanatics
and hypOcrites called reformers. The
great mass Of people are beginning to
think for themselves and are asking
the why and wherefore of things. Re

SEX. - Sex, perhaps, more than
any other subject, because of the
dense superstition that shrouds it,
provokes nonsensical comment.
Even by the erudite professor of
sociology who has reasoned out a
mode of establishing a perfect soci-
ETY. and the equally learned physical
culturist who sees in dancing or 9TH
er graceful movement a way to
health, strength and beauty, even
these generally display the popular
ignorance on the subject and cOnse-
quently perverted logic
The Statement that "man has
sometimes" a feminine mind and
woman sometimes a masculine
mind" is the pUrest nonsense.
The only difference between the
minds of men and woman also pre-
vail between men, or between wom-
en-, and between all humans and the
lower animals. 1t is a difference in
degree or quality, not of kind, and is
greater between the highest humans
of both sexes and the lowest, than
between the lowest humans and the
highest beasts.
Similarly the statement of the
physical cUlturist that 'the perfect
man or woman is made up of femi-
ninity and mascUlinity" is absurd,
Nor is it in the least improved by an
